人類的感知大致可分為三種類型：聽覺、視覺與動覺。有些人更擅長處理視覺圖像，有些人對觸感更為敏感，而第三類則特別容易接收聲音。到目前為止，我們主要探討了如何創造以視覺與感官對象為主的「幻燈片」 (Slide)。
Human perception can be divided into three main types: auditory, visual and kinetic. Some people can better operate with visual images, others are more sensitive to sensation and the third group is particularly receptive to sound. Until now we have talked about creating slides with a preference for visual and sensory objects.

一些靈性成長實踐會運用正向肯定，即個體在心中反覆念誦自己的目標，例如：「我擁有完美的健康、強大的能量場與內在平和；我既冷靜又自信。」這種大聲或默念多次的語句最適合聽覺型的人，但事實上並不存在絕對的類型，因此任何人都能成功使用正向肯定技巧。
Some spiritual development practices use positive affirmation which involves a person repeating their goal as a positive statement many times over in their mind, for example, “I have perfect health, a powerful energy field and inner peace. I am calm and confident”. Multiple repetitions of phrases like this spoken aloud or silently are most suited to people with auditory perception. However, there is no such thing as an absolute type so anyone can use the positive affirmation technique successfully.

肯定語 (Affirmations) 的運作方式就像「幻燈片」 (Slide) 一樣，但當你使用正向肯定時，必須區分內心（心的語言）與心智（言語）的語言差異。內心不領會文字，所以無意識地重覆一句話不會產生效果；它只感受超越文字的情感與思想。雖然我們可以利用文字模擬這些感受，但文字只是次要的傳播媒介，真正體驗一次那份情感，比千遍萬遍的重覆更為高效。努力在重覆肯定語的同時融入真實感受。
Affirmations work in the same way as slides but when you use a positive affirmation, you have to take into account the difference between the language of the heart and the language of the mind. Firstly, the heart does not understand words and so mindless repetition will have no effect on it. The heart only understands feeling and thought which go beyond words. Words can be used to simulate thoughts and feelings to a certain degree but they are not as efficient because speech is a secondary medium. It is more effective to feel something once than to repeat it a thousand times in words. Strive to experience the feeling and repeat the affirmation simultaneously.

其次，每句肯定語 (Affirmation) 都應聚焦一個狹窄的目標，將多個目標混合在同一句話中毫無用處。例如，上述那句肯定語看似涵蓋生活所需的一切，但當你重覆時，無法喚起所有相關的感受。
Secondly, each affirmation should have a narrow focus. There is no point in grouping several goals together in the same affirmation. For example, the affirmation cited above would seem to have great content because it includes everything you might need in life, but you will not be able to evoke the whole set of associated sensations when you are repeating the affirmation.
5/11
第三，避免單調重複帶來的乏味與一成不變。每一次全新的重覆都應該注入全新的情感體驗。例如，若你經常自我提醒「我既冷靜又自信」，這些話很快就會失去原有的感染力。渴望需要被培養與說服；而意圖 (Intention) 則會在你立即下定自信決心的那一刻展現。因此，想要自信，就必須懷抱明確的意圖 (Intention)。
Thirdly, avoid humdrum monotony and uniformity. Every new series of repetitions should be accompanied by fresh elements of feeling and experience. For example, if you consistently repeat to yourself: “I am calm and confident” these words will very soon lose their meaning. Desire has to be nurtured and persuaded. Intention on the other hand acts instantly with confidence appearing in the moment of your intention to be confident. Therefore, if you want to be confident be confident with intent.
6/11
最後，若不先消除問題根源，單單建立一個反抗負面效果的肯定語毫無意義。例如，若你生活中仍充滿令人擔憂的原因，無休止地重覆「我無所畏懼、無須擔憂」是徒勞的。更何況，肯定語 (Affirmation) 應當著重於正面結果。與其不斷提及你想避免的情況，不如將重點放在你想要達成的成果上。例如，用「一切對我都運作順利」取代「我不害怕」更為有效；並且要具體描述必須順利運作的細節，以真正消除憂慮。
Finally, there is no point in creating an affirmation that fights against an effect, without first eliminating the cause. For example, there is no point in repeating: “I have nothing to fear and nothing to be worried about” if the cause for concern is still present in your life. Moreover, the affirmation should be designed to have a positive note. Instead of endlessly repeating what you would like to avoid, program yourself to the result you wish to achieve. For example, the negative affirmation: “I am not afraid or concerned” would be more effectively replaced with a positive affirmation such as: “Everything is working out well for me”. Be specific about what would have to be going well for you to have no cause for concern as a result.
7/11
請注意，你的肯定語應說「一切對我都運作順利 (Everything is working out fine)」而非「一切將對我運作順利 (Everything will work out fine)」。如果使用未來時，未來永遠無法即刻轉化為當下，它只會停留在你眼前那片遙遠的綠洲。你必須將你的能量參數設定得好像你已經擁有了所期望的事物。
Note also that you should say “everything is working out fine” and not “everything will work out fine”. If you write the affirmation using the future tense, the future will never become the present being simply transformed into an oasis somewhere just ahead of you. You have to set the parameters of your energy as if you already have the thing you are ordering.

此外，光是下達內在平和的要求是無效的。內在平和來自於對某個具體事務上，內心與心智 (Unity of heart and mind) 之間和諧連結所結出的果實。和諧無法僅依靠抽象的自我暗示達成，但內心卻可以藉著「幻燈片」 (Slide) 的幫助，學會如何平靜下來。
Neither is there any point in ordering inner peace. Inner peace results from a harmonious connection between heart and mind on a specific issue. Harmony cannot be achieved as a general principle, by abstract autosuggestion. The heart can however, be taught and soothed with the help of a slide.
9/11
肯定語 (Affirmations) 效果最佳的時候，是當你處於零情緒狀態，也就是說，你沒有產生任何過剩潛能 (Exceed potential) 的時候。潛意識無法被強迫或命令，一旦情緒浮動，平衡就會被破壞。如果你試圖將念頭硬塞進大腦，內心只會捂住耳朵，選擇忽略。因此，平靜下重覆肯定語 (Affirmation) 時，效果才最為顯著。若心智必須拼命說服內心，則意味著它自己也缺乏信心，無論重覆多少次，都無法消除它的疑慮。
Affirmations work most effectively when you are in a zero emotion state i.e. when there is no excess potential. The subconscious cannot be persuaded, instructed or ordered to do anything. As soon as you switch on any emotion you destroy the balance. If you try to beat a thought into your brain, your heart will simply stick its fingers in its ears and ignore you. An affirmation is most effective when it is repeated dispassionately in a relaxed state. Then perhaps, your mind will get through to your subconscious. If the mind has to desperately try and convince the heart of something it means that the mind does not really believe it either and no amount of repetition will dispel its doubts.
10/11
心智試圖壓迫內心以達成某種結果是徒勞無功的。同樣地，當你正處於情緒高漲之時，意圖 (Intention) 并不能真正促成「擁有」的意志。屬於你的東西看起來再平凡不過，你也視其為理所當然。你輕鬆處理屬於你的事務，就像從郵筒中取出信件一般。如果你誤將果斷當作意圖 (Intention) 產生的力量，你最終只會停留在原地打轉，手握著一個擺錘 (Pendulum)；轉眼間，擺錘 (Pendulum) 就會放手，讓你摔回到曾經的猶豫不決之中。當你的擁有意圖 (Intention) 脫離了對擺錘 (Pendulum) 的渴望時，擺錘 (Pendulum) 自然無法再抓住你。
Nothing can be achieved by the mind pressuring the heart. Neither can you generate will to have with intent when you are riding an emotional high. The things that belong to you seem mundane and you take them for granted. You handle things that are yours calmly without insistence, in the same manner that you take letters out of your post box. If you mistake assertiveness for will and the intent to have you will end up spinning circles on the spot and taking a pendulum by the hand. Before you have time to blink the pendulum will let go of your hand and send you sliding headlong into the pit of your former indecision. When your will to have with intent is free of your desire to have the pendulum will have nothing to hook into.
11/11
如你所見，肯定語 (Affirmations) 就像一種聲音「幻燈片」 (Slide)。你可以各自使用肯定語和影像「幻燈片」 (Film slides)，而當兩者融合於同一實踐中時，效果更為顯著。例如，想像一個綜合「幻燈片」 (Integrated slide)：畫面中顯示你新家的景象，你正坐在壁爐旁的吱嘎搖椅上，壁爐中的木柴歡快地噼啪作響；坐在那裡觀火的感覺是那麼美妙！你聽到窗外大雨滂沱、冷風吹拂，但在壁爐旁你卻感覺溫暖且舒適。旁邊的小桌上放著你最喜愛的點心，電視正在播放有趣的節目。你全方位地見、聽、感知這整個美好場景，並自語：「我感到十分舒適。」你並不是僅在觀看「幻燈片」 (Slide)；你正真切地體驗它。
As you can see, an affirmation represents a kind of sound slide. You can use affirmations and film slides and of course, they are additionally effective when integrated into the same practice. Here is an example of an integrated slide. It contains a picture of your new home. You are sitting beside an open fire, in a creaking rocking chair with the logs in the fire happily spitting and crackling away. It is so nice to sit and watch the fire! You can hear the sound of the rain outside where a cold wind blows but you are warm and cosy beside the fire. You have your favourite treat on a small table beside you and there is an interesting film on television. You see, hear and sense the whole scene and say to yourself: “I feel comfortable”. You are not simply watching the slide; you are living it.

人類的感知可以分為三種類型：聽覺、視覺和動覺。有些人更擅長處理視覺圖像，另一些人對感覺更敏感，而第三組人則特別容易接受聲音。到目前為止，我們一直在談論創建偏愛視覺和感官對象的"幻燈片"(Slides)。
Human perception can be divided into three main types: auditory, visual and kinetic. Some people can better operate with visual images, others are more sensitive to sensation and the third group is particularly receptive to sound. Until now we have talked about creating slides with a preference for visual and sensory objects.
2/11
一些靈性發展實踐使用積極肯定法，涉及一個人在心中多次重複他們的目標作為積極的陳述，例如，“我擁有完美的健康、強大的能量場和內心的平靜。我平靜而自信”。這類話語的多次重複，無論是大聲還是默默地，最適合具有聽覺感知的人。然而，沒有絕對類型，因此任何人都可以成功地使用積極肯定法。
Some spiritual development practices use positive affirmation which involves a person repeating their goal as a positive statement many times over in their mind, for example, “I have perfect health, a powerful energy field and inner peace. I am calm and confident”. Multiple repetitions of phrases like this spoken aloud or silently are most suited to people with auditory perception. However, there is no such thing as an absolute type so anyone can use the positive affirmation technique successfully.
3/11
肯定法的運作方式與"幻燈片"(Slides)相同，但當你使用積極肯定法時，必須考慮心的語言與心靈的語言之間的區別。首先，心不理解語言，因此無意識的重複對它沒有影響。心只理解超越語言的感覺和思想。語言可以在一定程度上模擬思想和感覺，但由於語言是次要媒介，因此效率不高。感受一次比用語言重複一千次更有效。努力同時體驗感覺並重複肯定。
Affirmations work in the same way as slides but when you use a positive affirmation, you have to take into account the difference between the language of the heart and the language of the mind. Firstly, the heart does not understand words and so mindless repetition will have no effect on it. The heart only understands feeling and thought which go beyond words. Words can be used to simulate thoughts and feelings to a certain degree but they are not as efficient because speech is a secondary medium. It is more effective to feel something once than to repeat it a thousand times in words. Strive to experience the feeling and repeat the affirmation simultaneously.
4/11
其次，每個肯定應該有一個狹窄的重點。將幾個目標組合在同一個肯定中是沒有意義的。例如，上述的肯定似乎內容豐富，因為它包含了生活中可能需要的一切，但在重複肯定時，你將無法喚起整套相關的感覺。
Secondly, each affirmation should have a narrow focus. There is no point in grouping several goals together in the same affirmation. For example, the affirmation cited above would seem to have great content because it includes everything you might need in life, but you will not be able to evoke the whole set of associated sensations when you are repeating the affirmation.
5/11
第三，避免單調乏味和一致性。每一系列新的重複都應伴隨著新鮮的感覺和經驗元素。例如，如果你不斷地對自己重複：“我平靜而自信”，這些話很快就會失去意義。渴望必須被培養和說服。另一方面，意圖會在你有意圖自信的那一刻立即表現出來。因此，如果你想自信，就要有意圖地自信。
Thirdly, avoid humdrum monotony and uniformity. Every new series of repetitions should be accompanied by fresh elements of feeling and experience. For example, if you consistently repeat to yourself: “I am calm and confident” these words will very soon lose their meaning. Desire has to be nurtured and persuaded. Intention on the other hand acts instantly with confidence appearing in the moment of your intention to be confident. Therefore, if you want to be confident be confident with intent.
6/11
最後，如果不先消除原因，創建一個對抗效果的肯定是沒有意義的。例如，如果生活中仍然存在令人擔憂的原因，那麼重複“我沒有什麼可怕的，沒有什麼可擔心的”是沒有意義的。此外，肯定應該設計成具有積極的語調。與其無休止地重複你想要避免的事情，不如將自己設定為你希望達成的結果。例如，將消極的肯定“我不害怕或擔心”更有效地替換為積極的肯定，如“我的一切都在順利進行”。具體說明什麼情況下你會沒有擔憂的原因。
Finally, there is no point in creating an affirmation that fights against an effect, without first eliminating the cause. For example, there is no point in repeating: “I have nothing to fear and nothing to be worried about” if the cause for concern is still present in your life. Moreover, the affirmation should be designed to have a positive note. Instead of endlessly repeating what you would like to avoid, program yourself to the result you wish to achieve. For example, the negative affirmation: “I am not afraid or concerned” would be more effectively replaced with a positive affirmation such as: “Everything is working out well for me”. Be specific about what would have to be going well for you to have no cause for concern as a result.
7/11
另外要注意，你應該說“我的一切都在順利進行”，而不是“我的一切將會順利進行”。如果你用未來式寫肯定，未來永遠不會成為現在，只會簡單地變成你前方的一個綠洲。你必須設定你的能量參數，好像你已經擁有你所訂購的東西。
Note also that you should say “everything is working out fine” and not “everything will work out fine”. If you write the affirmation using the future tense, the future will never become the present being simply transformed into an oasis somewhere just ahead of you. You have to set the parameters of your energy as if you already have the thing you are ordering.
8/11
訂購內心平靜也沒有意義。內心平靜來自於心靈與心在特定問題上的和諧聯繫。和諧不能作為一般原則通過抽象的自我暗示來實現。然而，心可以在"幻燈片"(Slides)的幫助下被教導和安撫。
Neither is there any point in ordering inner peace. Inner peace results from a harmonious connection between heart and mind on a specific issue. Harmony cannot be achieved as a general principle, by abstract autosuggestion. The heart can however, be taught and soothed with the help of a slide.
9/11
當你處於零情緒狀態，即沒有過剩潛力時，肯定法最有效。潛意識無法被說服、指導或命令去做任何事情。一旦你開啟任何情緒，你就破壞了平衡。如果你試圖將一個想法強加於你的大腦，你的心會簡單地用手指堵住耳朵，忽視你。當在放鬆狀態下不帶感情地重複時，肯定法最有效。然後，也許你的心靈會傳達到你的潛意識。如果心靈必須拼命試圖說服心某件事，這意味著心靈自己也不真正相信，無論重複多少次都無法消除其疑慮。
Affirmations work most effectively when you are in a zero emotion state i.e. when there is no excess potential. The subconscious cannot be persuaded, instructed or ordered to do anything. As soon as you switch on any emotion you destroy the balance. If you try to beat a thought into your brain, your heart will simply stick its fingers in its ears and ignore you. An affirmation is most effective when it is repeated dispassionately in a relaxed state. Then perhaps, your mind will get through to your subconscious. If the mind has to desperately try and convince the heart of something it means that the mind does not really believe it either and no amount of repetition will dispel its doubts.
10/11
心靈施壓於心無法實現任何事情。當你情緒高漲時，你也無法以意圖產生擁有的意志。屬於你的東西看起來平淡無奇，你視其為理所當然。你冷靜地處理屬於你的東西，就像從郵箱中取信一樣。如果你將果斷誤認為是意志和擁有的意圖，你最終會在原地打轉，牽著"鐘擺"(Pendulums)的手。在你來不及眨眼之前，"鐘擺"(Pendulums)會放開你的手，讓你頭朝下滑入你之前猶豫不決的深淵中。當你的擁有意圖的意志不再受制於你想擁有的欲望時，"鐘擺"(Pendulums)將無法勾住你。
Nothing can be achieved by the mind pressuring the heart. Neither can you generate will to have with intent when you are riding an emotional high. The things that belong to you seem mundane and you take them for granted. You handle things that are yours calmly without insistence, in the same manner that you take letters out of your post box.

如你所見，肯定法代表了一種聲音幻燈片。你可以使用肯定法和影片幻燈片，當然，當它們整合到同一個實踐中時效果更佳。這裡有一個整合幻燈片的例子。它包含了你新家的畫面。你坐在壁爐旁的搖椅上，火中的木柴快樂地噼啪作響。坐著看火真好！你可以聽到外面寒風中的雨聲，但你在火旁感到溫暖舒適。你最喜歡的點心放在旁邊的小桌子上，電視上播放著一部有趣的電影。你看到、聽到並感受到整個場景，對自己說：“我感到很舒適”。你不僅僅是在觀看幻燈片；你正在生活其中。
As you can see, an affirmation represents a kind of sound slide. You can use affirmations and film slides and of course, they are additionally effective when integrated into the same practice. Here is an example of an integrated slide. It contains a picture of your new home. You are sitting beside an open fire, in a creaking rocking chair with the logs in the fire happily spitting and crackling away. It is so nice to sit and watch the fire!

人類感知可分為三種主要類型：聽覺、視覺和動覺。有些人能更好地操作視覺圖像，另一些人對感覺更敏感，第三組人對聲音特別敏感。至今我們談論了創建偏好視覺和感覺對象的幻燈片。

Some people can better operate with visual images, others are more sensitive to sensation and the third group is particularly receptive to sound.

一些精神發展實踐使用正面肯定，這涉及一個人在腦海中多次重複他們的目標作為正面陳述，例如，“我擁有完美的健康，強大的能量場和內在平靜。我冷靜而自信。”像這樣多次重複的短語，無論是大聲說出還是默默說出，最適合有聽覺感知的人。然而，沒有絕對的類型，因此任何人都可以成功使用正面肯定技術。
Some spiritual development practices use positive affirmation which involves a person repeating their goal as a positive statement many times over in their mind, for example, “I have perfect health, a powerful energy field and inner peace. I am calm and confident”. Multiple repetitions of phrases like this spoken aloud or silently are most suited to people with auditory perception. However, there is no such thing as an absolute type so anyone can use the positive affirmation technique successfully.

肯定語 (Affirmations) 的運作方式與幻燈片 (Slides) 類似，但當你使用正面肯定語時，必須考慮心與頭腦語言的差異。首先，心不理解詞語，因此無意識的重複對它沒有影響。心只理解超越詞語的感覺和思想。詞語可以在一定程度上模擬思想和感覺，但效率不高，因為語言是次要媒介。體驗一次感覺比用詞語重複一千次更有效。努力同時體驗感覺並重複肯定語。
Affirmations work in the same way as slides but when you use a positive affirmation, you have to take into account the difference between the language of the heart and the language of the mind. Firstly, the heart does not understand words and so mindless repetition will have no effect on it. The heart only understands feeling and thought which go beyond words.

It is more effective to feel something once than to repeat it a thousand times in words. Strive to experience the feeling and repeat the affirmation simultaneously.

其次，每個肯定語應有狹窄的焦點。將多個目標組合在同一個肯定語中沒有意義。例如，上述肯定語似乎內容豐富，因為它包含了生活中可能需要的一切，但你在重複肯定語時無法喚起整套相關感覺。
Secondly, each affirmation should have a narrow focus. There is no point in grouping several goals together in the same affirmation. For example, the affirmation cited above would seem to have great content because it includes everything you might need in life, but you will not be able to evoke the whole set of associated sensations when you are repeating the affirmation.
5/11
第三，避免單調乏味和統一。每新一輪重複應伴隨著新的感覺和體驗元素。例如，如果你持續對自己重複：“我冷靜而自信”，這些詞很快會失去意義。渴望需要被培養和說服。另一方面，意圖 (Intention) 立即生效，自信在你有意圖自信的那一刻出現。因此，如果你想自信，就帶著意圖自信。
Thirdly, avoid humdrum monotony and uniformity. Every new series of repetitions should be accompanied by fresh elements of feeling and experience. For example, if you consistently repeat to yourself: “I am calm and confident” these words will very soon lose their meaning. Desire has to be nurtured and persuaded. Intention on the other hand acts instantly with confidence appearing in the moment of your intention to be confident. Therefore, if you want to be confident be confident with intent.
6/11
最後，創造對抗效果的肯定語而未先消除原因沒有意義。例如，如果你的生活中仍有擔憂的原因，重複“我無需恐懼，無需擔憂”沒有意義。此外，肯定語應設計為帶有正面基調。不要無休止地重複你想避免的事情，而是為你希望實現的結果編程。例如，負面肯定語：“我不害怕或擔憂”可以更有效地替換為正面肯定語，如：“一切對我來說都很好。”具體說明什麼必須進展順利，才能讓你無需擔憂。
Finally, there is no point in creating an affirmation that fights against an effect, without first eliminating the cause. For example, there is no point in repeating: “I have nothing to fear and nothing to be worried about” if the cause for concern is still present in your life. Moreover, the affirmation should be designed to have a positive note. Instead of endlessly repeating what you would like to avoid, program yourself to the result you wish to achieve. For example, the negative affirmation: “I am not afraid or concerned” would be more effectively replaced with a positive affirmation such as: “Everything is working out well for me”. Be specific about what would have to be going well for you to have no cause for concern as a result.
7/11
還要注意，你應該說“一切都進展順利”而不是“一切將會進展順利”。如果你用未來時態寫肯定語，未來永遠不會成為現在，只是變成你前方的某個綠洲。你必須設定你的能量參數，好像你已經擁有你訂購的東西。
Note also that you should say “everything is working out fine” and not “everything will work out fine”. If you write the affirmation using the future tense, the future will never become the present being simply transformed into an oasis somewhere just ahead of you. You have to set the parameters of your energy as if you already have the thing you are ordering.
8/11
訂購內在平靜 (Unity of Heart and Mind) 也沒有意義。內在平靜是心與頭腦在特定問題上的和諧聯繫的結果。和諧無法通過抽象的自我暗示作為一般原則實現。然而，借助幻燈片，心可以被教導和安撫。
Neither is there any point in ordering inner peace. Inner peace results from a harmonious connection between heart and mind on a specific issue. Harmony cannot be achieved as a general principle, by abstract autosuggestion. The heart can however, be taught and soothed with the help of a slide.

當你處於零情緒狀態，即沒有過剩潛能 (Excess Potential) 時，肯定語最有效。潛意識無法被說服、指示或命令做任何事情。一旦你開啟任何情緒，你就破壞了平衡。如果你試圖將一個想法強行灌輸到你的大腦中，你的心只會捂住耳朵無視你。在放鬆狀態下冷靜地重複肯定語最有效。這樣，你的頭腦可能會觸及你的潛意識。如果頭腦必須拼命試圖說服心某件事，這意味著頭腦自己也不真正相信，無論重複多少次都無法消除其懷疑。
Affirmations work most effectively when you are in a zero emotion state i.e. when there is no excess potential. The subconscious cannot be persuaded, instructed or ordered to do anything. As soon as you switch on any emotion you destroy the balance. If you try to beat a thought into your brain, your heart will simply stick its fingers in its ears and ignore you.

頭腦壓迫心無法實現任何東西。在情緒高漲時，你也無法帶著意圖產生擁有的意志。屬於你的東西看似平凡，你視其為理所當然。你冷靜地、不堅持地處理屬於你的東西，就像你從郵箱中取出信件。如果 你將自信誤認為意志和擁有的意圖，你最終會在原地打轉，牽著擺錘 (Pendulum) 的手。在你眨眼之前，擺錘會放開你的手，讓你一頭栽進之前猶豫不決的深淵。當你的擁有意圖的意志不受渴望擁有影響時，擺錘無處可鉤。
Nothing can be achieved by the mind pressuring the heart. Neither can you generate will to have with intent when you are riding an emotional high. The things that belong to you seem mundane and you take them for granted. You handle things that are yours calmly without insistence, in the same manner that you take letters out of your post box. If you mistake assertiveness for will and the intent to have you will end up spinning circles on the spot and taking a pendulum by the hand.

如你所見，肯定語是一種聲音幻燈片。你可以使用肯定語和電影幻燈片，當然，當它們整合到同一實踐中時，效果更佳。以下是一個整合幻燈片的例子。它包含你新家的圖景。你坐在壁爐旁，搖椅吱吱作響，壁爐中的木頭愉快地劈啪作響。坐在那裡看火真好！你能聽到外面雨聲，冷風吹過，但你在壁爐旁溫暖舒適。你旁邊的小桌上放著你最喜歡的點心，電視上正在播放一部有趣的電影。你看到、聽到並感受到整個場景，對自己說：“我感到舒適。”你不只是看幻燈片；你在活它。

肯定語的運作方式與幻燈片相同，但當你使用正面的肯定語時，必須考慮心靈的語言與思維的語言之間的差異。首先，心靈不理解文字，因此無意義的重複對它沒有影響。心靈只理解超越文字的感受和思想。文字可以在某種程度上用來模擬思想和感受，但它們的效率不如因為言語是次要媒介。一次感受某種事物比用千言萬語重複它更有效。努力去體驗這種感受，同時重複肯定語。
Affirmations work in the same way as slides but when you use a positive affirmation, you have to take into account the difference between the language of the heart and the language of the mind. Firstly, the heart does not understand words and so mindless repetition will have no effect on it. The heart only understands feeling and thought which go beyond words. Words can be used to simulate thoughts and feelings to a certain degree but they are not as efficient because speech is a secondary medium. It is more effective to feel something once than to repeat it a thousand times in words. Strive to experience the feeling and repeat the affirmation simultaneously.

其次，每個肯定語應該有一個狹窄的焦點。將幾個目標聚集在同一個肯定語中是沒有意義的。例如，上述提到的肯定語似乎有很大的內容，因為它包含了你生活中可能需要的一切，但當你重複這個肯定語時，你將無法喚起整套相關的感覺。
Secondly, each affirmation should have a narrow focus. There is no point in grouping several goals together in the same affirmation. For example, the affirmation cited above would seem to have great content because it includes everything you might need in life, but you will not be able to evoke the whole set of associated sensations when you are repeating the affirmation.

第三，避免單調乏味和均一性。每一組新的重複應該伴隨著新的感受和經驗。例如，如果你不斷對自己重複：“我平靜而自信”，這些話很快就會失去意義。渴望必須被培養和說服。另一方面，意圖則會立即行動，自信在你想要自信的那一刻出現。因此，如果你想要自信，就要帶著意圖自信。
Thirdly, avoid humdrum monotony and uniformity. Every new series of repetitions should be accompanied by fresh elements of feeling and experience. For example, if you consistently repeat to yourself: “I am calm and confident” these words will very soon lose their meaning. Desire has to be nurtured and persuaded. Intention on the other hand acts instantly with confidence appearing in the moment of your intention to be confident. Therefore, if you want to be confident be confident with intent.

最後，創造一個與效果對抗的肯定語是沒有意義的，除非首先消除原因。例如，如果擔憂的原因仍然存在於你的生活中，重複：“我沒有什麼可怕的，也沒有什麼可擔心的”是沒有意義的。此外，肯定語應該設計成帶有正面的音調。與其無休止地重複你想要避免的事情，不如將自己編程為你希望達成的結果。例如，負面的肯定語：“我不害怕或擔心”可以更有效地被替換為正面的肯定語，例如：“一切都在為我順利進行”。具體說明對你來說需要順利進行的事情，以便沒有擔憂的原因。
Finally, there is no point in creating an affirmation that fights against an effect, without first eliminating the cause. For example, there is no point in repeating: “I have nothing to fear and nothing to be worried about” if the cause for concern is still present in your life. Moreover, the affirmation should be designed to have a positive note. Instead of endlessly repeating what you would like to avoid, program yourself to the result you wish to achieve. For example, the negative affirmation: “I am not afraid or concerned” would be more effectively replaced with a positive affirmation such as: “Everything is working out well for me”. Be specific about what would have to be going well for you to have no cause for concern as a result.

另請注意，你應該說“所有事情都在順利進行”，而不是“所有事情將會順利進行”。如果你用未來時寫肯定語，未來將永遠不會變成現在，只會變成你面前某處的一片綠洲。你必須將你的能量參數設置為好像你已經擁有你所訂購的東西。
Note also that you should say “everything is working out fine” and not “everything will work out fine”. If you write the affirmation using the future tense, the future will never become the present being simply transformed into an oasis somewhere just ahead of you. You have to set the parameters of your energy as if you already have the thing you are ordering.

訂購內心的平靜也沒有意義。內心的平靜來自心靈與思維在特定問題上的和諧連結。和諧不能作為一般原則通過抽象的自我暗示來實現。然而，心靈可以通過幻燈片的幫助來教導和安撫。
Neither is there any point in ordering inner peace. Inner peace results from a harmonious connection between heart and mind on a specific issue. Harmony cannot be achieved as a general principle, by abstract autosuggestion. The heart can however, be taught and soothed with the help of a slide.

肯定語在你處於零情緒狀態時最有效，即當沒有過多潛力時。潛意識無法被說服、指導或命令去做任何事情。只要你啟動任何情緒，你就會破壞平衡。如果你試圖將一個想法強行灌輸到你的腦海中，你的心靈將會把手指塞進耳朵裡，無視你。當在放鬆的狀態下冷靜地重複時，肯定語最有效。然後，也許你的思維會傳達到你的潛意識。如果思維必須拼命說服心靈某件事情，這意味著思維自己也不真的相信，無論重複多少次都無法消除它的懷疑。
Affirmations work most effectively when you are in a zero emotion state i.e. when there is no excess potential. The subconscious cannot be persuaded, instructed or ordered to do anything. As soon as you switch on any emotion you destroy the balance. If you try to beat a thought into your brain, your heart will simply stick its fingers in its ears and ignore you. An affirmation is most effective when it is repeated dispassionately in a relaxed state. Then perhaps, your mind will get through to your subconscious. If the mind has to desperately try and convince the heart of something it means that the mind does not really believe it either and no amount of repetition will dispel its doubts.

透過心靈施壓於心靈是無法達成任何事情的。當你處於情緒高漲的狀態時，你也無法以意圖產生擁有的意志。屬於你的東西似乎平凡無奇，你把它們視為理所當然。你以冷靜而不強求的方式處理屬於你的東西，就像你從郵箱中取出信件一樣。如果你將果斷與意志和擁有的意圖混淆，你將最終在原地打轉，手握著一個擺錘。在你還沒來得及眨眼的時候，擺錘將會放開你的手，讓你滑進你曾經的猶豫之淵。當你的擁有意圖不再受到渴望的束縛時，擺錘將無法找到任何可以鉤住的東西。
Nothing can be achieved by the mind pressuring the heart. Neither can you generate will to have with intent when you are riding an emotional high. The things that belong to you seem mundane and you take them for granted. You handle things that are yours calmly without insistence, in the same manner that you take letters out of your post box. If you mistake assertiveness for will and the intent to have you will end up spinning circles on the spot and taking a pendulum by the hand. Before you have time to blink the pendulum will let go of your hand and send you sliding headlong into the pit of your former indecision. When your will to have with intent is free of your desire to have the pendulum will have nothing to hook into.

如你所見，肯定語代表了一種聲音幻燈片。你可以使用肯定語和電影幻燈片，當然，當它們整合到同一實踐中時，它們的效果會更好。這裡有一個整合的幻燈片示例。它包含了你新家的圖片。你坐在一個開放的火爐旁，坐在一把吱吱作響的搖椅上，火中的木柴快樂地噼啪作響。坐著看火真好！你可以聽到外面下雨的聲音，寒風呼嘯，但你在火爐旁卻感到溫暖舒適。你最喜歡的點心放在你身邊的小桌子上，電視上正在播放一部有趣的電影。你看到、聽到並感受到整個場景，對自己說：“我感到舒適”。你不僅僅是在觀看幻燈片；你在生活其中。
As you can see, an affirmation represents a kind of sound slide. You can use affirmations and film slides and of course, they are additionally effective when integrated into the same practice. Here is an example of an integrated slide. It contains a picture of your new home. You are sitting beside an open fire, in a creaking rocking chair with the logs in the fire happily spitting and crackling away. It is so nice to sit and watch the fire! You can hear the sound of the rain outside where a cold wind blows but you are warm and cosy beside the fire. You have your favourite treat on a small table beside you and there is an interesting film on television. You see, hear and sense the whole scene and say to yourself: “I feel comfortable”. You are not simply watching the slide; you are living it.
