Scientific Healing Affirmations - Paperback

Paramahansa Yogananda

This groundbreaking book, in print for more than 70 years, explains the underlying reasons affirmations work—why they are such a powerful tool for transformation, and how you can use them to create total health and happiness in every aspect of your life.

Long before the use of affirmations was embraced in mainstream settings as diverse as hospitals, recovery programs, sports arenas, and corporate suites, the renowned world teacher Paramahansa Yogananda understood and taught the deep spiritual principles that make this ancient scientific tool so powerfully effective.

In this book, Sri Yogananda reveals the hidden laws for harnessing the power of concentrated thought—not only for physical healing, but to overcome obstacles and create all-around success in our lives. Included are comprehensive instructions and a wide variety of affirmations for healing the body, developing confidence, awakening wisdom, curing bad habits, and much more.

The first half of Scientific Healing Affirmations provides a deeper understanding of the remarkable relationship between mind, energy, and matter, and how concentrated affirmations can rouse the limitless power of Spirit within you. The last part of the book presents potent affirmations that Paramahansa Yogananda created while in higher states of consciousness. These are grouped so you can easily select the appropriate healing thoughts for addressing physical, mental, or spiritual needs.

About Paramahansa Yogananda

Paramahansa Yogananda (sometimes spelled 'Paramhansa' Yogananda) was born on January 5, 1893 in Gorakhpur, India. He was the first yoga master of India to permanently live and teach in the West. Yogananda arrived in America in 1920, and traveled throughout the United States on what he called his 'spiritual campaigns'. His enthusiastic audiences filled the largest halls in America. Hundreds of thousands came to see the yogi from India. At some packed venues thousands were turned away nightly.

It is God's will that you play a role in teaching mankind the value of balancing the material with an inner, spiritual life."

Yogananda brought clarity to hundreds of thousands of people regarding the ancient teachings of India - previously shrouded in the cultural assumptions and terminology of an era long past. These teachings include the path of Kriya Yoga, which Yogananda called the 'jet-airplane' route to God, consisting of ancient yoga techniques to hasten the spiritual evolution of the student.

"The true basis of religion is not belief, but intuitive experience. Intuition is the soul's power of knowing God. To know what religion is really all about, one must know God," said Paramahansa Yogananda in the book "The Essence of Self-Realization." He further wrote that "Self-Realization is the knowing in all parts of body, mind, and soul that you are now in possession of the kingdom of God; that you do not have to pray that it come to you; that God's omnipresence is your omn
