Where the s u n r i s e s
to uplift, inspire and inform through the art of word, music and imagery
Reciting affirmations gives you the sense that you can do something; it is empowering, no matter the situation. The same thing applies for prayer. This is the reason so many people cling to religions. For affirmations to work, the lingo must appeal to you, so an effort has been made here to present affirmations in neutral lingo on the left, and more spiritually oriented affirmations in the column on the right.
Affirmations can be applied anytime, anywhere. I’ve often used it on my way to work or when I am waiting for the bus, train, my appointment, etc. In company of course this is done in the mind. It is said, however, that reciting them out loud gives them an extra vibrational energy and therefore works best, so when you can – and if you dare – do so as much as possible.
These affirmations may be used as is or adapted to fit your own personal needs, which often works best. The day may come when I may offer helping you to create your own affirmations, but I’ve got quite some other fish to fry first.
May you be enlightened, empowered, uplifted and relieved.

IMPORTANT
An affirmation must be POSITIVE.
NO: I am not going to get myself worked up any more.
YES: I can handle anything if I just breathe through it.
COLORS
I have become accustomed to visualize light colors, the meaning of which may vary depending on your orientation. This is what I use, related to the Archangels:
• Blue – protection
• Yellow/gold – connectedness, enlightenment
• White – guidance
• Green – healing
• Pink – love
• Gold/dark red – peace
• Violet – transformation and joy
• Red – Purpose
Credit
Credit
Many of these are my own words but I’ve been doing this so long, that I cannot be completely sure what I’ve borrowed from my examples, so credit must also be given to:
• Grace, a healer and Essene priest I met in 1998
• Elizabeth Clare Prophet
• Bill Marshall
• Kelly Howell
• Sara Raymond
Both Kelly and Sara offer a wealth of Guided Meditations on YouTube!
SEARCH TIP
Kelly and Sara’s voices both work well for me. If you think that you may find a better match for your taste, check out other Guided Meditations on YouTube by typing, for example ‘Positivity meditation’ or ‘Healing meditation’.

Other languages
I can offer these affirmations immediately since I use (or have used) them myself: reciting in my head, out loud, (sometimes while I am also reading them on screen) and through listening to my own recorded affirmations (while I exercise or do household chores).
Since affirmations are most effective in your own language, in the future I hope to provide a selection of affirmations in Dutch, Spanish and Papiamento as well. The same thing applies for Guided Meditation. Given the completion of other, prioritized projects, I will check out what is offered online – in Dutch, Spanish and Papiamento – and potentially decide to record some myself.
