Jessie Parker - Healing with Affirmations - (#010)

Don't Step on the Bluebells

In this episode, host Amanda Parker interviews her sister Jessie Parker about the transformative power of affirmations. They discuss how affirmations can be used to rewrite unhelpful beliefs that were often formed in childhood, and to consciously cultivate more supportive, empowering beliefs instead.

Jessie stresses the importance of uncovering your true underlying beliefs first before creating affirmations, so they can fully align with your deeper self. She shares how affirmations work best when you engage your whole being - mind, body and emotions. Visualizations, feeling the emotions you want to cultivate, and repeating affirmations regularly help cement new neural pathways.

Amanda and Jessie also talk about how to write effective affirmations in the first person, emphasize different words to keep them fresh, and display affirmations around your home as reminders. Jessie leads a visualization for feeling affirmations in your body.

They explore the idea that healing is a process of bringing the mind, body and spirit into greater harmony, which affirmations can facilitate by transforming limiting thought patterns. Jessie also shares exciting updates on her artwork, affirmation card deck - A Gentle Reminder - and new Reiki practice.
