How are Affirmations Connected?

An affirmation is a declaration that what an individual wants his current real-life experiences to be like - what he hopes for - actually has already been realised and is true. It is a positive statement. "I want to stop being unhappy all the time" is a complaint containing a negative thought. "I'd like to be totally happy" is a hope or a wish, not a reality in present time. But "I am totally happy" is an affirmation.

Most Breathworkers/Rebirthers encourage their clients to use Affirmations. The connected breathing releases old negatives, and the 'place' once occupied by these old negatives becomes open to being filled by appropriate positive attitudes. As a Breathwork client says or listens or writes an affirmation, it serves an additional purpose in calling to mind any lingering negatives that are still hidden from consciousness. The client can then breathe away these additional emerging negatives, and thus, in effect, make the evoking affirmation itself a true reality.
