The Liberating Power of Affirmation | How-to-Live Inspirational Service | Brother Prafullananda

May 22, 2020 #Yogananda #KriyaYoga #YogaMeditationSRF minister Brother Prafullananda explores how seekers after highest consciousness can use the power of affirmation, as an adjunct to Kriya Yoga meditation, to achieve their highest material and spiritual goals. He explains that by incorporating the science of affirmation into our daily spiritual practice — as explained in Paramahansa Yogananda’s “how-to-live” teachings — we can transform body and mind by using the potent force of the subconscious and even more powerful superconscious mind. It is the superconscious mind that, in Yogananda’s words, “hides behind the restlessness of conscious life and the fanciful dream state and memories of subconscious life, and knows everything, not by reason or sense perception, but by God-given intuition, the direct all-knowing power of the soul.” As Brother Prafullananda points out, affirmations are vocalized statements of truth, repeated over and over to ourselves, until the meaning is incorporated at our highest level of spiritual consciousness. This talk shows how you can use this profound science to reach the ultimate Goal: understanding and fully embracing the Divine within yourself. This discussion on the science of affirmation includes deep truths found in the following of Yogananda’s works: “Scientific Healing Affirmations,” “Autobiography of a Yogi,” “Metaphysical Meditations,” Whispers from Eternity,” “God Talks With Arjuna: The Bhagavad Gita,” and “The Second Coming of Christ: The Resurrection of the Christ Within You.” As part of the meditation included in this talk, Brother Prafullananda leads everyone in a chant from Yogananda’s “Cosmic Chants,” which affirms our expansive nature as individual souls—“I Am the Sky”: “I am the sky, Mother, I am the sky, I am the vast blue ocean of sky. I am a little drop of the sky— Frozen sky.” To learn more about the science of affirmation as taught by Paramahansa Yogananda: https://yogananda.org/prayers-and-aff...
