In this book, Tamar Frankiel shares some of the many jewels of wisdom in the Kabbalah mystical tradition. Here are some affirmations that can be used in the spiritual practice of you.
"An affirmation is a way of creating a positive mindset. Many of us have, over the years, created mental habits that are like ruts in a driveway — we simply go down them without thinking because they're the path of least resistance. Affirmations create new mental habits, a new and more beautiful and expansive road for our minds to travel. . . .
"This first set of affirmations is designed to set up a positive frame of mind, which will allow you to see yourself in the context of the Divine creative energy that sustains the universe at all times, along the framework created by the Tree of Life of the sefirot. You may wish to use them individually or say them as a series, after your morning devotions. After you become familiar with the ideas expressed, you may wish to change some of the words so that they feel comfortable.
