Affirmations are a helpful tool to manifest money.

They can be used at any time to make you feel more affluent, but must be phrased correctly if they are to be effective.

For example, say you have been trying to manifest money, in this case, a particular amount - $10,000. After completing Step 1 - Clearing Limiting Beliefs and Step 2 - Visualization and Step 3 - Letting Go Of Attachment your money should be well on the way to you anyway - but affirmations can help to keep your morale high during the time delay between your mental manifestation and the one on the physical plane.

So, it's important that you don't state something like:

'I already have $10,000.'

Or

'I now have $10,000.'

It's important to realise that although visualizations need to be in the present tense as though they are happening now, that is because you are talking to your subconscious mind, and tricking it into believing something to be true right now -  which, on the material plane has not yet manifested - so it will  create it for you.

Visualization is carried out in a relaxed, or altered state of consciousness, when the conscious mind is not really taking much notice and will not argue or interfere with your suggestions to your subconscious.

However, affirmations are usually carried out during full waking consciouslness, when the conscious mind is alert and judging everything you tell it, in order to see if that statement agrees with your current 'world view' or subconscious programming.

This is why affirmations - in this case money affirmations - need to be carefully phrased so that your conscious mind will not dismiss them as being untrue, and will let them into the subconscious which is exactly where they need to reach to be effective.

Instead of the above statements, use a more general affirmation that is in agreement with your desired reality ( the $10,000 ) but is not too specific and doesn't make any claims that you already have it.

Example :

Every day I get wealthier and wealthier.'

This affirmation is in keeping with your desired reality ( because when you receive the $10,000 you will be wealthier )  but it is not stating that your desired reality has already manifested ( the $10,000 ) as this would cause your conscious mind to reject the affirmation.

In this way, you are stating that an aspect of your life is improving every day, and your conscious mind cannot reject that statement , as it cannot determine for sure if your life will be wealthier tomorrow or the next day or not, so it cannot argue.  The past has already gone, and nobody is arguing with that, or what has been. You are only concerned with the stating your affirmation in the now.

Another way of phrasing an effective affirmation to manifest money is something like:

I allow myself to be wealthy now.'

Or

I now allow myself to be wealthy.'

Your conscious mind cannot argue with this either, as you are allowing it for yourself, you haven't said it's happened yet, only that you allow it to happen now. This is one of my favourite ways of phrasing affirmations. It is very empowering because it reminds you that you are in control.

The same goes for :

'I choose to be wealthy now'

Or

'I now choose to be wealthy.'

Again, you are choosing something, so you are taking control, and remember it is you who is in control. 

I discovered a while ago that singing affirmations, or listening to songs containing affirmations is a very quick and effective way of getting them to be accepted by the subconscious mind.

This is because when you usually state an affirmation, you are using your left, logical brain. When you sing a song, you are using your right, creative brain. So, when you sing affirmations you are using both sides of your brain together and the left, logical side doesn't interfere with whatever it is you want to plant in your subconscious mind. Clever huh? !

I purchased Songs For Success on MP3 which contains songs such as 'Magnet To Money' ,  'Persistance' and 'S-U-C-C-E-S-S' to name but a few. I found it very uplifting, and I still listen to it every morning to get my day off to a good start. Remember, your state of mind is crucial to your manifesting success.
