Scientific Healing Affirmations is a beloved classic book of the great yoga master, Paramhansa Yogananda (1893-1952), author of Autobiography of a Yogi. This is a reprint of the original 1924 classic by Yogananda: a pioneering work in the field of self-healing and self-transformation. Yogananda explains that words are crystallized thoughts, and have life-changing power when spoken with conviction, concentration, willpower, and feeling. This book offers far more than mere suggestions for achieving positive attitudes. Yogananda explains in simple language how affirmations can recreate us—physically, mentally, and spiritually. He offers us more than mere suggestions for a positive attitude, showing us how to impregnate our words with spiritual force. This little book will be a treasured companion on the road to realizing your highest, divine potential. Added to this text are over fifty of Yogananda’s well-loved “Short Affirmations,” taken from issues of East-West and Inner Culture magazines from 1932 to 1942. This little book will be a treasured companion on the road to realizing your highest, divine potential. Man's word is Spirit in man. Words are sounds occasioned by the vibrations of thoughts. Thoughts are vibrations sent forth by the ego or soul. Every word that leaves your mouth ought to be potent with genuine soul vibration. The words of most people are lifeless because they are spoken automatically, without being impregnated with soul force. Too much talking, exaggeration, or falsehood is like shooting bullets out of a toy gun, without the gunpowder. That is why the prayers or words of such people do not produce any desired changes. Every word you utter must represent not only Truth, but also some of your own realized soul force. Words without soul force are like husks without the corn. Words that are saturated with sincerity, conviction, faith, and intuition are like vibration bombs, which can explode the rocks of difficulties and create the change desired. Avoid speaking unpleasant words, even if they are true. Sincere words or affirmations repeated understandingly, feelingly, and willingly are sure to move the omnipresent Cosmic Vibratory Force to render aid in your difficulty. Appeal to that Force with infinite confidence, casting out all doubt. If your affirmations are spoken with disbelief, or while looking for the desired result, your attention is deflected from its mark. You should not sow the vibratory prayer seed in the soil of Cosmic Consciousness and then continually pick it out to see if it has germinated into the desired result. —Paramhansa Yogananda, excerpt from Scientific Healing Affirmations, Crystal Clarity PublishersContents 3 Spiritual Power of Man’s Word 5 The God-Given Power of Man 8 Mental Responsibility for Chronic Diseases 11 What Cures? 12 Cure According to Temperament 16 Two Factors in Healing 17 Faith More Important Than Time 19 Classification of Healing 21 To Prevent Physical Disease24 To Prevent Mental Disease 25 To Prevent Spiritual Disease 27 Evaluation of Curative Methods 31 Consciousness and Vibration 33 Difference Between Matter and Spirit 36 Body and Consciousness Created by Man in the Dream State 37 World Illusion 39 Underlying Unity of Medical and Mental Cures 41 Danger of Blind Denial of Matter 43 The Body as Materialized Vibration PRACTICING AFFIRMATIONS 47 The Different States of Chanting 49 Superconsciousness—Not Unconsciousness 50 Physiological Centers 52 Value of Different Methods of Cure 54 Individual and Group Directions 58 Preliminary Rules to Be Observed Before Affirmations 60 General Healing Affirmation 66 Short Affirmations 69 Thought Affirmation 70 Will Affirmation 71 For the Development and Right Guidance of Reason and Cure of Dull Intelligence 73 Reason Affirmation 74 Short Affirmations 76 Wisdom Affirmation 79 Short Affirmations 82 Success Affirmations (for Healing of Unsuccess Consciousness) 84 Material Success Affirmation 86 Short Affirmations 88 Spiritual Success 89 Spiritual Success Affirmation (for Healing the Soul’s Ignorance) 90 Short Affirmations 92 Healing Others 93 Psychological Success Affirmation 95 Affirmation for the Eyes 98 Physical Exercise for the Stomach 99 Exercise for the Teeth 100 For Regulating Sex Force 103 For Curing Bad Habits 105 Freedom Affirmation 106 Short Affirmations
