The Daily Affirmations are from Paul C. Bragg's book AWAKEN HEALTH & HAPPINESS which is a year long program for purifying our minds, bodies, and souls in order to tap into the Force of Nature. By tapping into this magnificent source, which nurtures and maintains balance in the entire universe, we can indeed make the most of our lives, and fulfill our Ultimate Potential as Human Beings.

The Affirmation Program is categorized by Season, and sub-categorized by Month. What follows on this page are the teachings for the current Season and Month.

Paul's instructions for using the affirmations: "The first step in achieving a firm relationship with the Divine Flow of Power is to go into silence.  You can obtain Divine silence any place in the world.  No dark room is necessary.  All earthly disturbances must be banished.  Close your mind to outside influences and start to commune with your spirit.  In other words, contact the Divine Flow, which is ever-present, just as the ether waves of radio are always in the air.  Shut out all other thoughts and forces.  Repeat the affirmation for the day indicated.  Read it with the consciousness and the faith that you are pouring out your soul to the Divine Creator.  Be positive.  Repeat every word either orally or mentally.  Linger on each word.  Put behind it every ounce of energy you have.  Make this a living part of you.  Make the affirmation vibrate with every beat of your heart.

Let no one disturb you.  If necessary, stop on a corner of the busiest streets and, putting your hand in the hand of the Divine Presence, repeat at least 100 times the affirmation given for the day." 

PART THREE

SUMMER – The Blossoming

THE MORE VIVID aspects of Nature , its growth and its color, lie dormant during the winter. They are reborn with the spring, but with the summer comes the beauty of blossoming, the evidence of gradual maturity and the prime note of existence. We have gone through Winter and Spring, and now the mind, body and soul are ready to meet the unfolding -- the blossoming -- of our desire. This brings with it new responsibilities -- the necessity to direct this glorious growth into the proper channels.

CHAPTER NINE

Will to Have More Power

"The world turns aside to let any man pass who knows whither he is going." -- David Starr Jordan

IN CULTIVATED beings, will and intelligence are one and the same function. If both the will and intelligence, backed by the strength of the body, are concentrated on developing force and power, success is the inevitable result. Life is so lavish. It gives us so much in treasure and richness that we must have the power to grasp it or it will pass us by, leaving us poor and hungry in body and spirit. Feel power. Place yourself mentally in the center of a huge tornado. You are the force, the activating motive of that great power. You must direct the force of that tornado for good, instead of destruction. In your control, that irresistible strength and force is all yours, if you will feel it, know it, and use it.
