I hate these stories. I hate reading them and I hate blogging about them. But I do it for a reason - the violence has to stop. And we have the power to make it stop.

Your mind is incredibly powerful.

Someone recently recommended Quantum Healing Hypnosis Therapy (QHHT) to me, to help me to heal and resolve childhood trauma.

I experienced trauma and abuse on a daily basis as a child and as a young person. Inevitably, this has left me with long-term issues in pretty much every area of my life. I have been keen to explore, understand and heal the sources of my difficulties. So I eagerly grabbed this book as a possible support to my ongoing healing process.

I read this book out of curiosity. It looks great, it’s a good size, and I like the cover and the line drawings inside. I like the way it has been produced. Sometimes self=published books are not produced to a high standard, but this one has been.

This is a workbook on using affirmations. Each day, there is a new affirmation. Each page has ample space for writing out your affirmations.

The author, Limitless Abundance, favours the 3-6-9 method of writing an affirmation three times in the morning, six times in the afternoon and nine times in the evening. She states that this approach is based on numerology.

I know nothing about numerology and have no experience of using the 3-6-9 method so, who knows? It might be highly effective. I do know a lot about affirmations, though, and have written three books about them myself. One thing I know is, they really work.

The book contains beautiful affirmations - one for each day as well as monthly ones. For example:

I AM A BROWN SKIN BEAUTY WHO KNOWS HER WORTH.


I POSSESS INNER BEAUTY, STRENGTH AND RESILIENCE.


I AM FREE TO CREATE THE LIFE I DESIRE TO LIVE.


I AM POWERFUL, MELANATED AND CAPABLE OF RUNNING MY WORLD.


You will notice all of the affirmations are in the present tense, which is the way to do it. I wasn't too sure about the ones for turning around negativity, though. I was always taught to stick to positive language when using affirmations.

One problem I have with the book is that, as it is a low-content book, it does not go into any detail about working with affirmations. In my experience, and that of the hundreds of students I have worked with, when we start to use affirmations or, indeed, make any move of positive progress towards a goal, we immediately become aware of what is getting in the way. This often shows up as resistance.

So, for example, we start thinking, “I don’t believe the affirmations”, “this isn’t going to work”, or something similar. Or we find other things to do that stop us from doing our affirmations. Or we just don’t want to use the process anymore.

It would be great if she went into this more, and gave us information on how to address this very common problem. Actually, although it feels like a problem, it’s really just part of the process.

Another criticism I have is that the author doesn’t talk about the healing process. She has a few affirmations about letting go of the past, but this often requires deeper work.

Many, perhaps most, people have been through trauma at some point in our lives. Black people have experienced specific types of trauma, and our trauma is often inter-generational, meaning we pass it on from one generation to the next until we heal it This book does not and cannot address this, and I think it is vital to do so if we are serious about manifesting what we want.

Final verdict: This is a lovely book which, although it has some limitations, may help you with your manifestation process.
