Do you have any thoughts on his technique of using affirmations in combination with your exercises?
I do like his exercise to find out what you want by using contrast but do you think just stating affirmations like: I love the thought of always having money in my wallet, I like knowing that money flows into my life constantly.. etc etc. Will yield any results? Unless you can create a lot of emotional intensity while you say it, it seems to be inferior to visualizing. |
Well, I think that it is useful to explore a range of different techniques. Reason being that different techniques work better under different sorts of circumstances.
For example, there will be times when you just can't get your concentration together, to do a deep visualisation session. Or you can't get to a place that's sufficiently peaceful and quiet for it. Then you can use some other form of visualisation.
I think Losier's written exercises are also good for working out what you want. One thing about visualisation is that you won't know what to visualise unless you know what you want. Whereas Losier's exercises actually are quite good in helping you to work that out.
