Auto Suggestion கருத்துப் பதிவு - Affirmations

 

"Affirmation" means positive, present tense language stated in the first person. Apply the same rules to auto suggestion techniques as you would for affirmations. 

Conscious autosuggestions must be repeated with mental focus, and with certainty and faith in them.

When you make conscious autosuggestions, do it naturally, simply, with conviction, and above all without any effort. must be believable by the most important person – you

I CAN - I am capable (believing in our ability to work hard)
I WILL - staying focused and accomplishing the task

Auto Suggestion to overcome fear

I am courageous and fearless…every day, I am gaining courage

Auto Suggestion for Students - 

I have unlimited brainpower and I can learn anything . I am a brilliant student (5 times)

"By Regular Study and Frequent Revision I CAN MASTER any subject"

Auto suggesstion to overcome disease

‘Through the grace of God, I am becoming better and better, day by day, in every way’

I am healthy, thanks God for grace

Auto Suggesstion to overcome bad thoughts

‘Through the grace of God, I am becoming purer and purer, day by day, in every way’


For Confidence

I like myself

I am the best

I can do it, Nothing can stop me

I am getting better everyday

I am successful in whatever I do

I am able to solve problems creatively

I am born to win and succeed in life


Autosuggestion consists of powerful assertions. The formula, ‘I am becoming better and better every day, in every way’, will confer upon you health and success. Repeat it mentally throughout the day. Dwell on it constantly. You will become as you think. The mind has the capacity of making hell out of heaven and heaven out of hell. It is the cause of both heaven and hell, of liberation and bondage. May God grant you the strength to conquer your mind and enjoy eternal peace and bliss!

Other Affirmations

I am energetic or I am full of energy and enthusiasm

I am full of energy and strength, my body is in perfect health


Think about how powerful that statement is:

I CAN – It is possible, it CAN be done, and I CAN do it.

I WILL – I WILL get it done. Not “I hope I can” or “I might.” WILL means it IS going to happen.

I MUST – I MUST do this. It absolutely HAS to be done, no excuses.

What excuses do you have right now as to why you aren’t living the life of your dreams? Shed those and start repeating this mantra over and over again, every single morning, or any time you feel like giving up. Believe you can and you will. Take action and have 100% belief that your dreams are on their way to reality. Then watch as they unfold before your eyes.


I can get good marks

I will study well

I can earn more

I will develop my skills

I can. I will develop my skills

I can. I will focus and study well

உடல் ஆரோக்கியம் பெற சுவாசப் பயிர்ச்சி

 

நுரையீரல்களிலே சிறிய காற்றுப் பைகள் பல உள்ளன. சுவாசமிடுதல் என்பது இந்தப் பைகளை நிரப்ப்ய்வதும், காலிசெய்வதும்தான்.

பிராணவாயுவைப் ‘பூரகம்’ என்னும் உள் இழுத்தல் பண்ணும் போதெல்லாம் நுரையீரல்கள் நன்றாக விரிவதற்கு ஏராளமாக இடமுண்டாகும்படி, உட்காரும் போதும் நிமிர்ந்திருத்தல் வேண்டும். இப்படிச்செய்தால் உடம்புக்குப் பிராணவாயு அதிகமாகக் கிடைக்கிறது. நிமிர்ந்து உட்கார்ந்து, நிமிர்ந்து நிற்பதனால் உடம்பு உரம்பெற்று திடமாவதற்கு ஏதுவாகிறது. முதுகைக் கூனவைத்துக் கொண்டு நிற்பதாலும், உட்காருவதாலும் நம்மைப் பார்ப்பவர்களுக்கு நாம் அசிங்கமாகத் தோன்றுவோம்

மேலும் கூனலால் நுரையீரல்கள் நன்றாக விரிவதற்கு வசதி ஏற்படாமல் போகிறது. போதுமான அளவு காற்று உடலுக்கு கிடைக்காமற் போவதால், உடலில் பல நோய்கள் ஏற்படுகின்றன வீட்டுக்குள் வேலை செய்து வருபவர்களும், உட்கார்ந்து வேலை செய்பவர்களும், ஒவ்வொரு நாளும் பலமுறை எழுந்து நின்று பல ஆழ்ந்த மூச்சுகளை எடுத்துக் கொள்ளும் வழக்கத்தை பின்பற்ற வேண்டும். இப்படிச் செய்தால்தான் இவர்களுடைய நுரையீரல்கள் முழுவதும் நல்ல காற்றால் நிரம்பி,, விசப்பொருள் முழுவதும் வெளியேறும் இத்தகையவைர்களுக்கு எந்த நோயும் வராது.

Use your Mind to Manifest What you want --- Power of Subconscious Mind




 We are all born equal but only some people create the life they really want, while others struggle with unhappiness throughout their lives. Yes, we all possess equal amounts of the same creative power within our minds. Most people, however, do not recognize it, believe in it, know how to tap into it or use it. The magic is in believing. You must believe the power exists before you can tap into it. Do your wishes come true? Do the goals you set get easily accomplished? Do your day dreams ever become fulfilled desires? If your answer is yes to more than one question, then you are probably already living a "charmed" life able to manifest what you desire. If you answered no, then you are like most people. You haven't learned how to tap into this unfailing power. Before you can tap into this creative power you need to know more about how the mind and body are connected, as well as, how your thoughts can influence your life. Your mind is a part of your body, but it functions separately from your body and has its own electro-magnetic energy. Your body is surrounded and infused with electromagnetic energy. Every cell in your body is electrically charged and contains the image and pattern of your body indelibly imprinted in each cell. If a cell is destroyed, other cells take its place and function in the same way as the cell it replaced. Our cells have no intelligence of their own. A cell does not know where to stay or where to go, until it receives its orders from intelligence. The cells in your body actually follow the direction of your mind. Therefore, your mind is a key in creating your future, once you know how to use it. How and what you perceive is expressed in thought, which is intelligence in action. Each thought is electrically charged by your mind and can only be expressed through form. The thought must seek manifestation in the physical world. If it cannot express outside the body, then it will express itself in some form inside your body. All thought seeks to fulfill its destiny and purpose. Repressed thoughts can cause a short circuit in the body, clog your system and cause physical and emotional illness. Can you now imagine just how powerful a thought can be?


Key Steps
  • Believe it is possible or your efforts will end in failure.
  • You do not think in words. Instead you think in pictures. Therefore, visualize what you want.
  •  Picture the mental image strongly and persistently to reach the creative level of your mind.
  •  Do not just give it a quick glance or the mental image will register in your mind only as "wishful thinking" and not what you want to create
  • There is no limitation in time and space unless you put a limit to it with your wishful thinking. If you hold a mental image, support it and have faith, and it willkeep working for you.
  •  Practice patience. Do not try to "force" what you're picturing to come true. It will block the outcome of what you are trying to do.
  •  Remember to picture the outcome in your mental image with corresponding feeling as though it has already happened.
  •  Do not forget to "feel" what you desire.
  •  Stay positive and don't give up believing in your success to create.

Swami Sivananda Hints on yoga sadana



Advice for Beginners starting yoga sadana
Everything must be done gradually. It is very difficult for a man who was in the world to be in
entire seclusion. It will be very painful and troublesome for a beginner. He should slowly
train himself by observing Mowna often.


The place wherein you can get concentration of mind is suitable for your Yogic practices. This
is a general rule. There will be no use if you run from place to place.

Karma Yoga - Method to follow
When you do Karma Yoga you must be free from egoism. You must not expect any reward or
appreciation for the work that you do (Nishkama). You must have a balanced mind in success and
failure.

Mind control to overcome difficulty
Most of the difficulties arise in your daily life if you do not have a proper control over your
mind. For instance, if a man does evil to you, instantly you want to revenge, to extract tooth
for tooth, tit for tat policy, to return anger for anger. Every reaction of evil shows that the
mind is not under control. By anger one loses his energy. Balanced state of mind is not possible. From anger all other impurities emanate. Anger controlled properly, becomes transmuted into an energy so powerful as to move the whole world.

Mantra Sadana
A Mantra is a mass of Tejas or radiant energy. It transforms the mental substance by producing
a particular thought movement. The rhythmical vibrations produced by Mantra regulate the
unsteady vibrations of the five sheaths. It checks the natural tendency of objective thoughts
of the mind. It helps the Sadhana Shakti and reinforces it. Sadhana Shakti is strengthened by
Mantra-Shakti. Mantra awakens superhuman powers.

“Only the knowledge imparted by a Guru through his lips is powerful and useful; otherwise it
becomes fruitless, weak and very painful.”

Hints on Yoga
Siddhau visvasah prathamalakshanam”—For success, firm belief is the first condition.
Develop the power of endurance (Titiksha), learn to bear happiness and misery evenly and to pass through all phases of life, all experiences.

The endurance of all pain and torture with patience and contentment means the exercise of a distinct force which spiritualises the whole nature. The greater this force, the speedier the spiritual growth. Patience and faith should continue undiminished all through the Sadhana period.

Chitta-Shuddhi is purification of mind. Nadi Shuddhi is purification of Nadis. Bhuta-Shuddhi is purification of elements. Adhara-Shuddhi is purification of Adhara. If there is Shuddhi (purification), Siddhi (perfection) will come by itself. Siddhi is not possible without Shuddhi.

Humility is the highest of all virtues. You can destroy your egoism by developing this virtue alone. You can influence the whole world. You will become a magnet to attract the whole world. It must be genuine. Feigned humility is hypocrisy.

Control anger by practice of Kshama, Dhairya, patience and Nirabhimanata, absence of egoism.
When anger is controlled it will be transmuted into an energy by which you can move the whole world.
Anger is a modification of passion. If you can control lust, you have already controlled anger.


Wise Guidance For Sure Success

The practice of Yoga should be gradual and step by step. Extremes are to be avoided. No sudden and violent methods should be employed. Common-sense is an essential part of Yoga. Boldness is also equally essential.

Fickle-mindedness will not do on the path of Yoga. Vacillation and oscillation will retard progress and result in stagnation.

Reflect gradually and choose a method; choose a method and stick to it and persevere in it continuously. This Nishtha is necessary.

Never exert yourself. Use your common-sense. If you find any substantial benefit, continue your practice. If there is any discomfort, discontinue the practice and seek proper guidance.

A man who digs a well should not dig a foot here, a foot there, a few feet in another place and then a fourth. If he does this, he will not find water even after digging in fifty places. Once a spot is chosen, he must dig on and on in the same place and lo, he will reach the water. Even so in Yoga, one teacher, one path, one method, one master, one idea and one-pointed faith and devotion—all the above make up the secret of success in spiritual life.

The Six Chakras

There are six chakras. Muladhara is in the anus. Svadhishthana is near the genital organ. Manipuraka is in the navel. Anahata is in the heart.

The Vishuddhi Chakra is at the root of the neck. The sixth Chakra, the Ajna is in the head (between the two eyebrows).

 After gaining a knowledge of these six Mandalas or spheres, one should enter the Sukhamandala, drawing up the Vayu and sending it upwards.

He becomes one with Brahmanda, the macrocosm, who practises thus the control of Vayu. Vayu, Bindu, Chitta, and Chakra should be mastered by him.

Chitta And The Control Of Prana

1. Chitta is the Subconscious mind. It is the mind-stuff. It is the store-house of memory. Samskaras or impressions of actions are imbedded here. It is one of the four parts of Antahkarana or inner instruments, viz., mind, intellect, Chitta and Ahankara or ego.
2. Mind is formed out of wind. So, it is fleeting like the wind. Intellect is formed out of fire. Chitta is formed out of water. Ego is formed out of earth.
3. Chitta has two causes for its existence, viz., Vasanas or subtle desires and the vibration of Prana.
4. If one of them is controlled, the result is, both of them are controlled.
