Scientific Healing Affirmations

By Paramahansa Yogananda

“Scientific Healing Affirmations” is the guide to positive, concentrated thought by renowned Indian yogi and guru Paramahansa Yogananda. Born in India in 1893, Yogananda came to the United States in 1920 to spread the teachings of yoga and Indian spirituality to the West. His speaking tours and published works were incredibly successful in bringing yoga and meditation to a new audience and Yogananda is often called the “Father of Yoga in the West”. Most famous for his 1946 memoir, “Autobiography of a Yogi”, Yogananda wrote extensively on spirituality, religion, and history, as well as practical guides on yoga, meditation, and positive thinking. “Scientific Healing Affirmations” was far ahead of its time in showing how effective and useful positive affirmations can be in one’s daily life. Now a mainstream practice and embraced by the medical and scientific community for how affirmations can significantly improve one’s psychological and physical state, Yogananda was one of the first to bring this ancient Eastern spiritual practice to America and the West. Detailed, comprehensive, encouraging, and accessible, “Scientific Healing Affirmations” guides readers in incorporating affirmations into their daily lives and continues to be one of the most important books ever written on this powerful and life-changing practice.

Paramahansa Yogananda

Paramahansa Yogananda (1893-1952) es mundialmente reconocido como una de las personalidades espirituales más ilustres de nuestro tiempo. Nació en el norte de la India, y en 1920 se radicó en Estados Unidos, donde enseñó, durante más de treinta años, la antigua filosofía y la ciencia de la meditación yoga, originarias de la India, así como el arte de vivir en forma equilibrada la vida espiritual. Fue el primer gran maestro del Yoga que vivió y enseñó durante un prolongado periodo en Occidente. Él viajó extensamente impartiendo conferencias en Estados Unidos y en el extranjero, disertando en auditorios de las más importantes ciudades, que registraban siempre un lleno total, y en los cuales revelaba la unidad fundamental que existe entre las grandes religiones del mundo. A través de la célebre historia de su vida, Autobiografía de un yogui, y de sus originales comentarios sobre las escrituras de Oriente y Occidente, así como por medio del resto de sus numerosos libros, él ha inspirado a millones de lectores. Self-Realization Fellowship —la organización internacional que Paramahansa Yogananda fundó en 1920 con el fin de diseminar sus enseñanzas en todo el mundo— continúa llevando a cabo su obra espiritual y humanitaria.

Spiritual Power of Man’s Word

Man’s word is Spirit in man. Words are sounds occasioned by the vibrations of thoughts. Thoughts are vibrations sent forth by the Ego or Soul. Every word that leaves your mouth ought to be potent with your genuine soul vibration. Words in most people are lifeless because they are automatically put forth into the ether, without being impregnated with soul force. Too much talking, exaggeration or falsehood used in connection with words is just like shooting bullets out of a toy gun, without the gun-powder. That is why the prayers or words of such people do not produce any desired definite change in the order of things. Every word you utter you must mean it, i.e., every word you put forth must represent not only Truth, but some of your realized soul force. Words without soul force are husks without the corn.

Words that are saturated with sincerity, conviction, faith and intuition are just like highly explosive vibration bombs, which when let out, are sure to explode the rocks of difficulties and create the change desired. Avoid speaking unpleasant words, even though they are true. Words must be intoned according to the convictions within. Sincere words or affirmations repeated understandingly, feelingly and willingly are sure to move the Omnipresent Cosmic Vibratory Force and render you aid in your difficulty. Only
