Love consciousness affirmations--will they hold someone spellbound?

It's easy to say that these can't possibly interfere with another person's free will. But--especially for love--is that the case?

I'd agree with the idea that NOTHING can interfere with another person's free will. However, that doesn't mean what some people think it means. This is basically a statement about consciousness.

Harming another person is possible--under certain conditions. However, forcing another person to think less of self is impossible, without that person's cooperation. Pretty icky stuff, yes?

So, taking a less absolute approach to all this, it is possible to gravitate toward those open to manipulation. And, what's a self consciousness affirmation for love in one person's hand can act as a manipulative subliminal command in another's.

The thing to remember is that love blossoms best in an athmosphere of freedom and shared enerprise. So moody subliminal commands can be self-defeating. Of course, some people like to play that way. It's similar to tossing around witty remarks. Well, that's playfulness.

The most powerful and effecient use of affirmations in love is consciousness affirmations aimed at one's self. The second most powerful comes in the form of encouragement of others.

Consciousness affirmations focus on the management of mental (or even spiritual) states. For example: "I appreciate this present breath."

That's a great affirmation that pulls you out of whatever gossip may have been running around your head or worries, and so on, and focuses you on the real present moment, riding on the wave of your breath. This can work really well in the middle of what's veering toward an argument, for example.

Here's another one: "The warmth of yesterday and tomorrow are with me, now."

That's a powerful love consciousness affirmation! The fact that it only subtly refers to love may help you feel less self-conscious about using it. And, it manipulates concepts of time so powerfully, that the rational mind has little defense against it.

Here's one that can make you feel powerful in matters of love: "My heart is listening." It doesn't sound like much, but it takes a lot of the weight off your shoulders, in matters of love, and places it upon a mysterious character known as your heart. Can you see how this frees you to be confident?

Love consciousness affirmations sometimes call upon you to be a little sneaky. To zig, where your rational mind would tend to zag. However, their constructive effect can be worth it.
