See How Asking One Simple Question Supercharges Your Affirmations!
A reader asked me a very interesting question about the What Your Body Wants to Hear meditations. I thought it may be of interest to others. So here’s our conversation:-
“Hi Barbara,
I found your website which led me here. Your writing on how to Heal Your Relationship with Moneyreally impacted me. One area I don’t quite understand is the “why” questions…Can you share why ask “why”.
Thank you again for such beautiful writing/work!”
“Thank you for getting in touch and for your kind words.

The “Why” questions are a method of bridging from the releasing statements to the positive affirmations. It could otherwise be too large a jump for people to go straight in to really feeling the positive. It is also a way to get around the mind saying “yes but..” to a positive affirmation. There is a very different energy around the “Why” statements, try it for yourself, you will probably feel it. For example if you say “I am abundant” your mind will probably jump to the reasons you are not abundant, “I’ve got this debt/I haven’t got any money” that kind of thing. If on the other hand you say “Why am I so abundant?” the mind tends to go to the things you are abundant in, love, friends, pets, health etc. There is less resistance to the “Why” statements and they help to lead you in to the positive. I hope this helps.
Thank you so much for your interest. I’d love to hear how you get on and if you feel the difference when you say “Why” statements rather than jump to positive affirmation. Blessings, Barbara”.
“I did feel the difference and this makes perfect sense! Thank you so much! Many Blessings to YOU!”
This powerful video demonstrates just how incredibly powerful asking the right questions is.
UPDATE
A few people tried making a positive affirmation then asking a question and felt the difference in the energy between the two. People who initially thought it would be a negative thing tried it out and realised that far from being negative, it opens us up to the many blessings we actually do have in our lives. It helps us see what is going right for us. In the case of physical healing, it reminds us of all the parts of our bodies which are working beautifully.
Asking the right questions really helps you get more powerful results from your energy work! Transcripts of all my healing guided meditations are freely available on my site and all the What Your Body Wants to Hearmeditations contain powerful questions to open your mind and allow positive affirmations to work more powerfully.

Best meditation I EVER LISTENED TO! Lisa
“I gained a better understanding of my fears that have been hidden behind the mask of defensiveness which makes me see myself as strong and bold. I can give up the imaginary fears and reserve the energy that is wasted on being constantly on guard. I will work with this more. Thank you”. Mary
The statements were right on for all the issues I have with fear. I will repeat this meditation because it will take more than once for me to move to the finish line. Thank you! Karma.
Gentle peaceful, music was perfect, pace was perfect. Many could be taken into day as mantra or slogan… My own: I release all unhealthy sabotaging fear that is keeping me from humbly doing Divine’s will, from my life. I replace it with self compassion, Divine’s humble Courage and Knowing in what He would have me do (in this scenario)… Cris.
Your body is amazing! Do you believe that? Or do you just see that you no longer fit in to your clothes, “ugly” stretch marks or swollen ankles?
Research suggests that up to 80% of pregnant women report moderate to severe dissatisfaction with their bodies. A quick google search of “I hate my pregnant body” confirms this. What message is that sending to your body or your unborn child? How does it contribute to your happiness or well-being?
Make peace with, accept and love your amazing pregnant body. Focus on the miracle of new life and enjoy your special time with these gentle and loving healing affirmations.

What Your Body AND Your Baby Want To Hear – Affirmations For Pregnancy
The new science of Epigenetics is showing us just how important the messages we send to our bodies and unborn babies are. Not only do our stress hormones affect our babies, our thoughts and emotions also affect them.
Conflicting advice from “experts” (let’s face it, when you are pregnant, everyone is an “expert”) can make your head spin! What should be a special time becomes a time of worry and anxiety. Even worse, guilt then sets in as you worry about what your worry is doing to your baby. Relax together and enjoy your special time with our peaceful, loving affirmations.

(When you heal the emotional drivers behind food cravings the cravings are reduced or even completely eliminated!)
Our relationship with food is intimately connected with how emotionally safe, loved and nourished we feel. An increase in appetite may result from emotional pain, the need to fill that painful, empty place with something. The something you are really looking for is love but in a perceived absence of love you make do with food. A lack of appetite can indicate a desire to retreat from life, nurturing the hurt inside us again indicating a need for love. Not feeling safe can lead you to put on weight and keep it on!
Our relationship with food can be complex. Powerful emotions of enjoyment and guilt get in to the mix. “Expert” advice about what is and is not healthy seems to change daily resulting in confusion and mixed emotions.
Change your thinking, change the way you feel about food, bring peace into the relationship you have with food. Not only will you feel better but your body will respond.
