We, Off the Beaten Path, had a magical dollar donated to Tracey’s benefit fund the other day.

It was dropped in our donation can with love and a healing spirit.

Upon listening to an explanation of Tracey’s challenge, this kind Cloudcroft visitor opened her wallet and located a $1 bill she’d been saving for a “special occasion.” She said she hadn’t found that “special occasion” until that day.

Writing on the dollar bill reads,

“FIRST TOOTH LOST — 18 APRIL, 2001. KALIE’S DOLLAR FROM THE TOOTH FAIRY.”

May the magic of the Tooth Fairy be with you, Tracey!

Spiritual Affirmation
In spirituality and personal development, an affirmation is a form of auto-suggestion in which a statement of a desirable intention or condition of the world or the mind is deliberately meditated on and/or repeated in order to implant it in the mind. Many believers recommend accompanying recitations with mental visualization of a desired outcome. Affirmation could be viewed positively as a mobilization of one’s inner resources, or negatively as a kind of self-induced brainwashing, depending on the psychological depth and wisdom of the affirmation. For example, believers would consider “I am making more room in my life for success every day” a much wiser affirmation than “I will win the lottery today!” Affirmations are always phrased in the first person and usually in a present tense (”I am”) rather than a future tense (”I will”) in order to increase the realization of the statement for the affirmee.

Affirmations are believed to be a very powerful means of reprogramming the unconscious mind. They appear to be most effective when repeated in a quiet and restful state of mind and body, and when the desired outcome is vividly experienced in one’s mind and resulting emotions are felt. They are an intrinsic part of many New Age groups including I AM Activity and the Church Universal and Triumphant of Elizabeth Clare Prophet. However, in these groups affirmations are generally recited in flat, mechanical voices at top speed and volume, in order to elevate participants’ “vibratory levels”.

Perhaps the most often used and well-known affirmation is the word “Amen,” which can be translated simply as “so be it” or “and so it is,” affirming the truth of whatever was written or said immediately prior. While often used to conclude prayer, the word itself is neutral as to its context and exemplifies a logical affirmation more than a spiritual one.
