Affirmations (New Age)
Affirmations in New Thought and New Age terminology refer primarily to the practice of positive thinking and self-empowerment—fostering a belief that "a positive mental attitude supported by affirmations will achieve success in anything."〔(Supercharged Affirmations ) The Salem New Age Center, Salem Massachusetts USA . Accessed August 2007.〕 More specifically, an affirmation is a carefully formatted statement that should be repeated to one's self and written down frequently. For an affirmation to be effective, it needs to be present tense, positive, personal and specific.〔(Affirmation Class ) May 2007.〕
==New Thought==
The New Thought movement is not part of New Age but does share certain practices. This concept has grown popular due to Rhonda Byrne's ''The Secret'' (also a 2006 film) These books and teachers express similar ideas to Napoleon Hill's classic book ''Think and Grow Rich''. Byrne was inspired in particular by New Thought pioneer Wallace D. Wattles' 1910 book ''The Science of Getting Rich''. Affirmations are also referred to in Neurolinguistic Programming (NLP), Neuro Associative Conditioning "NAC" as popularized by Anthony Robbins, and hypnosis.
A related belief is that a certain critical mass of people with a highly spiritual consciousness will bring about a sudden change in the whole population. And that humans have a responsibility to take part in positive creative activity and to work to heal ourselves, each other and the Earth.〔(Accepting Total and Complete Responsibility: New Age NeoFeminist Violence against Sethna ) Feminism Psychology.1992; 2: pages 113–119〕
In 1984 Louise Hay a Religious Science Practitioner published ''You Can Heal Your Life'', a guide to changing thoughts and beliefs. Hay's affirmations are designed to help the user re-program their thought patterns, the intention being that harmful underlying beliefs which Hay believes psychologically support illness will be replaced with healing beliefs, and thus remove a barrier to healing.
