Affirming Love

Affirming a desire rather than whining for what you want is the first step in taking an active roll in creating the love you want in your life. To affirm means to declare positively or firmly. When working with the general law of attraction remember that what we project into the universe is what we usually draw to us. Avoid negative thought patterns that can send you into a downward spiral. The hungry, needy energy is not what we want to send out when seeking love and fulfillment. Throughout time people have used different means to affirm their desires into reality through ritual and prayer.

"An affirmation is a short positive statement that is repeated over and over again. Negative or undesired thoughts are kept at bay. Unity of body and mind is encouraged. Affirmations are quite popular with some people. You can make up your own or try a standard one like "God Is Love" or "We Are One" or "I Am You" or You Are Me" or Love Is All Around Us" or "We Are Love.". "Play with the affirmation "You love me" while selfloving. You may find that the "you" is actually you, that what you really need is not love from someone else but love from the self. The love you get is the love you choose to let in." Write David and Ellen Ramsdale in their book Sexual Energy Ecstasy (Peak Skill Publishing, 1985).

This is a first positive step one can take to attract love. Learn to love yourself and you will draw love to you in turn. When using positive affirmations be very clear and concise in your intent.
