"I allow balance to flow through me and to act as me."

Greetings! Our theme is Balance at DailyAffirm, http://www.DailyAffirm.com. This second week of the month we work with receiving and accepting balance. Following today’s affirmation are comments about the affirmation and suggestions for your process. See top tabs and navigation bar links for more information and resources.

About Today’s Affirmation
Today’s affirmation challenges you to become balance, to be balance. As balance flows through you, you become familiar with its vibration. In order for something to "act as" you, you must become it. You must be what you desire. Balance is not something outside yourself, but inside. Other people’s perceptions of your sense of balance may be interesting information (worthy of an appropriate amount of your attention as a piece of data), yet your own perceptions about balance are the ones that are essential for your health and satisfaction.

About Your Process
To enhance your process as you say or work with today’s affirmation, consider these questions. As you feel balance flow through you, what does it feel like? As you see balance flow through you, what does it look like? As you sense balance flow through you, what do you sense? As you listen to the sounds of balance, what do you hear? As you resonate with balance, what do you become? These questions expand your consciousness about balance so that you can more easily become at one with it.

March 9, Positive Affirmation for Balance

"I receive messages of balance from the Universe.
I flow like a smooth river in this balance."

About Today’s Affirmation
The balance of the Universe is infallible. In the narrowness of the human focus, you often cannot see the perfection of it all. When it is hardest to see, that is the time when you most need to trust, to put yourself in the hands of the divine or your inner guidance. It is easy to trust when you can see the evidence of balance in the outer world. Now, however, you need to trust at a deeper level, to trust in the invisible rather than the visible. Let the Universal river carry you.

About Your Process
Consider several areas of life that you try hard to balance, try to make balance — perhaps work and play, your checkbook, fairness or honesty in a particular relationship, food choices, or reactions to others. Notice how you use your weekend to try to achieve a balance for the week’s activities. Remind yourself of the over-arching intention you set for balance. Look deeply at your own image or interpretation of "flow like a smooth river" or maybe it is a bubbling brook or raging ocean or deep pool or shallow puddle. What do you need to accept into your life so that you experience balance as you desire and define it?

About the Book of the Month Recommendation

Since so much of my work is related to working with energy and energy fields, I have frequently been asked over a period of many years to recommend books about energy. Usually I suggested one or two books that I think a particular individual will like that might address some relevant topics, but then I found a book I felt good about recommending to anyone who is interested in energy, energy healing, and energy fields.

The book I regularly recommend is called
Energy Medicine by Donna Eden. This is my pick for Balance in the month of March on DailyAffirm. She has prepared a companion DVD which is also excellent.

You may read my book
comment at the Marshall House Web Site or read more about the book at Amazon.com.

Make this a smooth day!

March 8, Positive Affirmation for Balance

"I open to allow balance and magical synchronicity
to operate in my life."

About Today’s Affirmation
The world is so filled with images and messages about making things happen that it can sometimes be a shock to even consider letting them happen. When you are in the midst of synchronicity, you know that your higher wisdom is in charge, transcending the human manipulation that you might construct. It is such a joy to get out of the way and let the natural balance of life answer your desires in its way. The flow and processes of the Universe are truly magical if you only let go of the reins of control and allow.

About Your Process
I often work with incredibly powerful persons. I recall doing a consultation with such a person, with a wide span of influence and visibility. He was in a shift of merging the being and the doing, the making and the letting. Intellectually, he made the shift many years ago — that was easy for him. Then, he had to make the shift emotionally and physically, which were more challenging for him. Spiritually, no shift was really required for him. One of the questions he asked me was "Does everyone go through this or is my process unique?" To which I answered, "yes." The fuller meaning was that we all do go through various transitions, yet each proceeds in his or her own unique ways. Comparing with others is not usually very helpful. Just be where you are, and open.

Positive Affirmations for the Week of March 8-14, Balance

Jeanie — Mon, 08 Mar 2010 09:08:35 +0000

Greetings! In this message, I’ll give you an overview of the next seven days of the DailyAffirm Process. The sidebars provide you with additional information. Read the messages Day by Day or, simply check in when the spirit moves you. If you prefer to receive the daily messages by email, please subscribe to one of our email alert lists (check the options at the bottom of the navigation bar).

About Receiving/Accepting Affirmations and Balance
The ability to be receptive (generally considered a feminine quality) in a masculine and male-oriented society is, in itself, a demonstration of balance. Truly, you must balance the masculine and feminine energies as well as other energies so that one part neither dominates nor distorts the whole (nor believes that one part is the whole). Open. Open to allow. Open to allow so that you can accept and receive.

About your Process in the Second Week
Consider this week what you are most in need of accepting into your life so that you experience balance. Perhaps such qualities as love or peace or calmness or clarity. Perhaps new ideas. Or a new way of thinking. Notice whether you believe that you must accept something from outside yourself or from inside yourself. Notice also any uneasiness about receptivity or acceptance. How do you define and achieve balance in your portion of the world?

About the Affirmations in the Second Week
If I were to select the definitive affirmation for the week to represent receiving and accepting for Balance, I would choose the March 11 affirmation:: "Dear God, allow me to see balance in a way that I can understand." This simple prayer supports you in making balance real and present in your life, not as a theory or a dream or a fantasy.

Make this an ACCEPTional week!

March 7, Positive Affirmation for Balance

Jeanie — Sun, 07 Mar 2010 12:01:15 +0000

"I let Spirit
(My Higher Self, God, My Spirit Guides, The One, The Force, Infinite Source)
purify any remaining thoughts and feelings of struggle and injustice."

Greetings! Our theme is Balance at DailyAffirm, http://www.DailyAffirm.com. This first week of the month we work with releasing and cleansing non-balance. Following today’s affirmation are comments about the affirmation and suggestions for your process. See top tabs and navigation bar links for more information and resources.

About Today’s Affirmation
This affirmation is the last of the releasing ones with this theme, so give the remains of non-balance to Spirit for purification. Select any (or all!) designations of higher power. You cannot have too much higher power. Give up (up, up, up) struggle and belief in struggle. Give up (up, up, up) injustice and belief in injustice. Give up (up, up, up) disharmony and belief in disharmony. Let Spirit purify you.

About Your Process
While you are reading or saying today’s affirmation, you may want to let your breathing follow the rhythm of the words: the in-breath brings in an awareness of Spirit and the out-breath releases those remaining thoughts and feelings of struggle and injustice, or anything else you associate with the opposite of balance as you have defined it. Let this affirmation empty you out so that you can fill yourself with those things that you desire. Of course, if you want to hang on to struggle and injustice…… Know that it is your choice.

“Freedom from Bondage” discusses releasing bonds of limitation, including a brief case study of energetic release.
“Say Goodbye to Struggle” encourages us to end the practice of glorifying struggles of life.
"Your Focus of Attention is Your Key to Happiness" helps you to clarify where you desire to put your attention — your energy — which is a creative force.
“Resonating with the Light with Jeanie Marshall” is an interview conducted by Susan Barber from Spirit of Ma’at focusing on Jeanie’s energy work.

About the Next Type of Affirmations
Beginning tomorrow DailyAffirm focuses on the theme of balance with Receiving/Accepting affirmations. The releasing of this week has made more room available to receive the blessings of life. You may want to re-visit your over-arching intention for balance as you shift from one type of affirmation to another.

Make this a wonder-full day!

March 6, Positive Affirmation for Balance

Jeanie — Sat, 06 Mar 2010 12:01:38 +0000

"I let go of thoughts that suggest there is no balance.
I stop creating images that life is unfair and
start creating images of joy."

About Today’s Affirmation
Today’s affirmation invites you to dissolve and erase ideas and beliefs that block your acceptance of balance. You may find yourself working successfully with this affirmation without even knowing precisely what those ideas and beliefs are OR you may find information jumps out at you everywhere you turn today. When your journey is the latter, it is time for you to turn your attention from these images that you do not want to images that you do want. Give this releasing process the proper attention — just enough to recognize what you do not want — so that you can give your attention intentionally to what you do want. As the thoughts of imbalance and unfairness and injustice and indecision come into your conscious awareness, let them flow from you, and give your focus to balance and fairness and justice and decision.

About Your Process
Are you noticing that you and others are releasing old stuff as you work with these Releasing/Cleansing affirmations? The power of this process (as well as other self-development processes) is more greatly enhanced when you sharpen your awareness of your own process and the processes of others. What do you notice today about balance or imbalance? about fairness or unfairness? about life in any aspect? To what do you most want to give your attention?

As you become aware of specific beliefs that are limiting thoughts, you may wish to return to working with the affirmations of March 1 and March 2. You can adjust either or both affirmations to incorporate the limiting beliefs that you discover, if you choose. You will find that writing these affirmations according to the writing process explained in "Writing Affirmations for Empowerment" will be particularly effective.

"Your Focus of Attention is Your Key to Happiness" helps you to clarify where you desire to put your attention — your energy — which is a creative force.
“Moving Through Puddles” describes the “Puddle Theory of Personal Development” which helps those seeking enlightenment to move more easily through the cycles and changes of life.
“Pluck it for the Bucket” describes a process for releasing toxins from the energy field, such as, old emotional baggage, false beliefs, dysfunctional patterns.

Make this a clear day!

March 5, Positive Affirmation for Balance

"I cut negative bonds of attachment to imbalance and inequality.
I untie the duality of bondage and control."

About Today’s Affirmation
Cutting negative bonds of attachment is a powerful technique for releasing and detaching yourself from someone or something. You can perceive or imagine the quality or characteristics of the bonds between yourself and whatever keeps you from experiencing balance. My definition of a technique is a method to train you or focus your attention to do something so well that you do not need the technique — similar to training wheels on a child’s bicycle. As you experiment with powerful techniques (such as many that I mention, and those from other sources), you must remember that they are only tools — you are the power. You have incredible power. If some technique teaches you about your own power, it has done its job. If the author of a technique tells you that the technique is required in order for you to be powerful, it has not served you, but the author.

About Your Process
You can use your imagination to check the bonds that keep you attached to someone or something. The attachment may be a belief that someone or something has power over you. Without focusing on the person or thing to which you are negatively attached, examine the bonds. Are the bonds tight? What color are they? How thick are they? Of what substance are they? What instrument is required to cut the bonds? When you are ready, cut them. As you cut the bonds, also cut or untie the belief that the bondage of one + the control of another = balance. This equation is part of an old paradigm whose time is of the past. The releasing process of this week assists you in moving into a new paradigm and a new definition of balance.

"Your Focus of Attention is Your Key to Happiness" helps you to clarify where you desire to put your attention — your energy — which is a creative force.

March 4, Positive Affirmation for Balance

Jeanie — Thu, 04 Mar 2010 12:01:11 +0000

"I release memories that allowed belief in instability and revenge.
Impurities dissolve without pollution as I manifest new experiences
that become tomorrow’s pleasant memories."

About Today’s Affirmation
Memories of experiences can be recorded on any layer/level of the energy field. You may be conscious of the memories or not. They may sit there quietly for many years, either polluting or enhancing your relationships. As you release old resistance, you may feel the feelings or think the thoughts that relate to those memories. The thoughts and feelings may come as a flash or a thud or laughter or fear. Analyzing this stuff is like analyzing the trash in your trash masher — messy and not very productive. The shortened version of this affirmation is, "I release."

About Your Process
Remember "to release" means "to let go." As you let go of what you do not need, you become happier and clearer and friendlier. In this way, you benefit first and others around you benefit also. While you are not responsible for anyone else’s personal development, you are connected ("we is all one") and can not separate yourself from the whole. The stuff that is releasing from you and others during this purification process has the potential of being toxic waste or rich fertilizer. Intention can dissolve the impurities in an instant. If you prefer that the release takes a long time, that choice is also available to you.

March 3, Positive Affirmation for Balance

Jeanie — Wed, 03 Mar 2010 12:01:07 +0000

"I let go of everything that gets in the way of equanimity.
I give up the belief that retaliation creates balance
so that I can create
a more empowering belief about balance."

About Today’s Affirmation
While intellectually you are likely able to accept that retaliation does not create balance, you may experience that some of your actions indicate that you believe this is so. The popular belief in karma, for example, includes the concept of retaliation. Revenge, "what goes around, comes around", "I’ll get you for that," and "Gotcha!" are common examples of retaliation — a distortion of true balance. Equanimity elicits feelings of calmness and evenness. Deeper than these feelings is the knowingness that you are connected with all others. Or as a friend of mine likes to say, "we is all one."

About Your Process
As you work with today’s affirmation, you might choose to consider all the ideas and beliefs you have held about balance and imbalance. Perhaps you feel your own life needs to be put in proper balance. Consider just exactly what that means. Many people who work for a living often complain that their lives are "out of balance," which usually means they believe they work too much without an appropriate amount of leisure or personal or family time. But others might experience being "out of balance" as meaning that they spend too much time or are obsessed with or addicted to such things as alcohol, Internet social networks, television, drugs, food, money, overspending, or the like. Balance is an intensely personal choice. What creates balance in your life?

March 2, Positive Affirmation for Balance

Jeanie — Tue, 02 Mar 2010 12:01:59 +0000

"I rescind obsolete vows of struggle and limitation.
Angels are with me as half-truths, lies, and distortions drop from my attention."

About Today’s Affirmation
Vows of all sorts have been made (and, uh, broken) generation after generation. Religious vows, vows of revenge, marriage vows, vows of silence, vows of poverty, vows in anger, vows of forever, vows of never all have their unique dynamics. When vows are made forever, it is helpful to remember that forever is a long time. Broken vows tend to generate guilt or retaliation or fear. Today you can give a gift to your ancestors, your children, and yourself by consciously rescinding outdated vows, without even knowing precisely what they are.

About Your Process
If you found that writing yesterday’s affirmation in the manner suggested was a valuable process for you, you will probably also benefit from writing today’s affirmation. Instead of that or in addition to that, you might identify examples of outdated vows that keep you and/or others struggling or believing strongly in limitation. With this suggestion, I caution that you not become overly involved in analyzing the specific vows that have created any struggle or limitation. A little awakening on this subject goes a long way. Notice, and rescind the vows of limitation and struggle. Then move your attention to what you want to experience.

About Rescinding Limiting Beliefs
