Antoinette Spurrier hopes to inspire powerful transformation, the fundamental changes in consciousness that can lead you eventually to deliberate happiness and joy. Affirm and Transform: A Power-Charged Path to Growth is the second edition of the book previously titled The Affirmation Handbook. It is the fourth in a series that began with Deliberate Happiness: The Complete Guide. This shorter work distills key themes from the main book, and it presents practical exercises to ignite the power of spiritualized affirmations to change your habits of consciousness and, by doing so, to change your life.
The deeper understanding of affirmations is one of the world’s best-kept secrets. Spiritualized affirmations–meaning those expressing spiritual truth–offer powerful pathways to transformation and personal discovery. As you explore your own habits of thought, with introspection and practice, you will bring about fundamental changes in your ways of thinking. These changes in consciousness will allow you to charge your affirmations with conviction and, in time, to manifest the blessings you deserve in your life and work.
Affirmations clear the smokescreen of distortion, and reveal the light and power of you! Your unique magnificence can then make its way to the surface and lead you to joyful union with your true self.
The full Creating Deliberate Happiness analyzes the background to these practices and explains the natural patterns and scientific laws governing emotional and spiritual growth. In this smaller volume I focus techniques and ideas that, with patience and persistence, will bring the transformation you desire. The techniques include:
Spiritual practices of meditation, visualizations, journaling, introspection and especially, affirmations. Ways of confronting deservedness issues by uprooting negative self-talk and altering any feelings of worthlessness that sabotage love and happiness. A realistic focus on how aligning your Limited and Eternal Selves and practicing affirmations will overcome negative thoughts and behaviors that can result when you seek to make lasting change.
