Affirmations have never been very useful for me personally. Since my meditations grow out of my own experience, it’s unlikely I’d create a meditation with affirmations. Also my focus on my path has had to do with surrender to what is happening rather than trying to control it. That isn’t to say that affirmations aren’t useful for some people. It’s a matter of finding what is useful to you on your particular path of healing and learning. I’m sure there are meditations that you could find that include affirmations.

I will, however, give some thought as to whether I can create something to use specifically on those days when there is a lot of anxiety. I would also suggest you try the Emotional Ease meditation and see what happens.

Finally, I hope you’ll explore all avenues for helping with this. In some situations, the right kind of therapy can be really helpful, as well as some natural ways of soothing anxiety. I have found a lot of benefit from Ayurveda in this regard.

I still continue to do meditation but on these days it would be good to have a meditation that helps to relax but also combat the negative feelings that come with the condition by repeating affirmations such as, I am responsible for all of my experiences. I keep my thoughts centred on what I wish to experience. I view all experiences as opportunities for me to learn and grow. Today is a wonderful day. I choose to make it so.
Just a thought and thanks for such wonderful podcasts, I honestly don’t know where I would be today without them.
