Instructions for your Magical Musical Affirmations CD

We hope you find your Magical Musical Affirmation CD useful and that it makes positive changes in your life. This short explanation will help you get the most out of your CD.

How to use this CD

Your affirmation is a short, carefully constructed phrase that needs to be repeated many times to be effective. Each track on the CD contains a single affirmation, repeated every 20 seconds for a 5 minute period. Each affirmation is recorded on three times on different tracks with different musical backgrounds.

Listening Technique 1 - Pick Your Favorite and Listen This is easy! Pick the track that has your favorite combination of affirmation and background music. Put it on and listen. Listen again if you like. Listen consciously, or unconsciously as background music. Listen whenever it is convenient. Perhaps at the same time every day. Perhaps at different times of the day. - when you wake up, while eating, while falling asleep, whenever.

Listening Technique 2 - Listen and Say the Words Some people find it effective to listen and also repeat the words of the affirmation:

• 2a) Repeat After Me - let the CD say the affirmation first, and then you say the same words. The CD repeats its affirmation every 20 seconds and leaves a pause long enough for you to say it in between. You can say it either aloud or silently.
• 2b) All Together Now - repeat the affirmation simultaneously with the CD. Again, you can do this either silently or aloud.

Using the Backgrounds

Each affirmation is recorded on three separate tracks, each with a different musical background. Here are some suggested ways to use the backgrounds:

Background Technique 1 - Time of Day Some people listen to Background 1 in the morning, Background 2 during the day and Background 3 in the evening. Or maybe you think Background 3 is better for the morning? Whatever! The point is to match the backgrounds to your daily rituals.

Background Technique 2 - In the Mood Forget the time of day, just choose the background that suits your current mood.

Background Technique 3 - Personal Preference If you like one background better than the others then listen to that one.

Background Technique 4 - All of Above Listen to 2 or 3 different backgrounds in a row.

Background Technique 5 - Surprise Me You (or your player) can pick one of the tracks randomly.

How Long Should You Keep It Up

Authorities debate whether you should listen for 28 days or 30 days. Or 35 days. Or a month (regardless of number of days). Or a lunar cycle (28 or 29 days, depending which cycle you think is relevant). There are good numerological/astrological/psychological arguments for each theory.

We suggest you listen every day for around one month. During this period, you should listen as much as you can. Then stop for a while and let it sink into your unconscious. Repeat the cycle whenever you feel the need.

In our observation, there are three distinct stages you will pass through in the affirmation cycle.

At first you will be enthusiastic and optimistic about the coming change in your life.

Second, you will start to despair. At this second stage you start thinking that the affirmation is silly and pointless, and your case is hopeless. This feeling is perfectly natural and you should acknowledge it. But keep listening!

You will then arrive at the third stage where you internalize your affirmation and accept the inevitability of change. This third stage is the stage that you want to reach. This is when your affirmation will become most effective.

Let It Go

After you reach the end of your listening cycle and you have given it your best effort, then you need to let it go. Stop listening to the recording. Start looking for the opportunities and changes in your life. Let the affirmation work its magic.
