Affirmations (New Age)

Affirmations (New Age)

Affirmations in New Age terminology refers primarily to the practice of Positive thinking - fostering "a positive mental attitude supported by affirmations will achieve success in anything." [ [http://www.salemctr.com/newage/center32.html Supercharged Affirmations] The Salem New Age Center, Salem Massachusetts USA . Accessed August 2007.]

This concept has grown increasingly popular due to the publishing phenomenon of Rhonda Byrne's The Secret (also a 2006 film) and The Law of Attraction series by Esther Hicks and Jerry Hicks. [The Law of Attraction: The Basics of the Teachings of Abraham,By (Spirit) Abraham, Abraham, Esther Hicks, Jerry Hicks,Published by Hay House, 2006,ISBN 1401912273, 9781401912277] These books and teachers express similar ideas to Napoleon Hill's classic, Think and Grow Rich. Byrne was inspired in particular by Wallace D. Wattles' 1910 book The Science of Getting Rich.

Affirmations are also referred to in neurolinguistic programming (NLP), 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.cite web | url = http://skepdic.com/monkey.html | title = The Hundredth Monkey Phenomenon | first = Robert Todd | last = Carroll | year = 2005 | source = Skeptic's Dictionary | accessdate = 2007-08-23] And that humans have a responsibility to take part in positive creative activity and to work to heal ourselves, each other and the planet.
