Eco Innovation Alternative Energy Devices Need 100% Uptime

Sometimes entrepreneurs are the eternal optimists, and perhaps that’s a good thing, because they will take risks that normal people might not take. Without these entrepreneurs who go for it, we wouldn’t have many of the things that we have in our society today, those things which make our lives easier, and help us live a comfortable lifestyle, and maintain a positive quality of life.

Still, what I’ve found as the coordinator for a think tank which operates online is that many of these entrepreneurs are coming up with ideas and eco-innovations which simply do not have the proper return on investment, and they are too apt to have catastrophic failure. Consider if you will that many of the wind turbine blades have broken, and they cause an unbalanced system, and then they rip the rest of the system apart in a fiery mess.

Not long ago, I was talking to the business manager for an interesting concept of a donut shaped wind turbine generator which would be flown at altitude like a kite. This makes good sense, although unless it is built in a way which will allow it to work with 100% uptime, much the same as a nuclear power plant, a coal-fired plant, or a hydroelectric plant then it may not be able to compete in the real world against those other technologies.

Therefore, I asked the business manager if they had plans in case of various calamities. Things such as;

1.-If there is a solar flare which takes out all the power, could your unit still operate or would you be dead in the water because the tether power line would be toast as soon as you launched it?

2.-What about Lightning? How are you dealing with that?

Now then, it is possible to build a system which could handle a severe solar flare or solar storm, using military grade electronics. Although that raises the cost as well, and remember in business we are worried about return on investment, and even in the alternative energy sector where there are subsidies, someday that thing has to make a profit.

Likewise, there are sophisticated systems and airliners which discharge lightning when it hits the plane. These types of systems could be employed on wind generators, which are a loft or airborne attached to a long power cord. Of course, any lightning rod discharge system would have to also come down that power cord, and tethered to the ground. This adds weight to the power cord, and a lot of cost to the device.

You see, fail-safes are needed, and things like this drastically raise the cost of generating power, that is why nuclear power plants cost so much, and why hydroelectricity, even though it uses gravity fed water still costs money, it’s not free. If you are an eco-Innovation entrepreneur, I hope you realize that you can’t make money forever on the taxpayer or government-funded subsidies. Please consider all this.

The Energy Efficiency Tax Credit – How to Get It

The Energy Efficiency Tax Credit – How to Get It

On Oct. 3, 2008, President George W. Bush signed into law the Emergency Economic Stabilization Act of 2008. As part of this piece of legislation, the United States government is offering tax incentives for consumers and businesses to purchase and install certain energy-efficient home improvement products like skylights, hybrid and electric automobiles, and water heating equipment.

Included in the water heating category are tankless water heaters, which are eligible for energy tax credits. Rheem and Takagi are among the qualifying manufacturers.

Energy tax credits of $300 had been available for home improvements placed in service from Jan. 1, 2009 through Dec. 21, 2009. Then, on Feb. 17, 2009, President Obama made two significant revisions to the Emergency Economic Stabilization Act.

He first extended the available energy tax credits through Dec. 31, 2010, then increased the total available tax credit to an equivalent of 30% of the full purchase price and installation price with a cap of $1500.

According to ENERGY STAR, the IRS defines “placed in service” as when the property is ready and available for use. All ENERGY STAR-qualified whole-home gas tankless and gas condensing models with an energy factor of 0.80 or greater WILL qualify.

The qualifier is based on when the unit is placed in service, so units purchased before Jan. 1, 2009 but not yet installed may qualify if installed between Jan. 1, 2009 and Dec. 31, 2010.

Now the bad news.

Any qualified home improvements made in 2008 or earlier are NOT eligible for the energy tax credit. And ENERGY STAR-qualified, high-efficiency gas storage water heaters (those that store water in a large tank) will also NOT qualify. Also, new construction and rentals do NOT qualify.

So, what’s the difference between a tax credit and a tax break? A tax credit is usually more valuable than an equivalent tax deduction, and it directly reduces the taxable amount due dollar-for-dollar. For example, if you receive a $500 tax credit, $500 is subtracted from your overall tax owed, and if you qualify for a refund, your refund will reflect this credit.

On the other hand, a tax break only removes a percentage of the tax you owe by reducing your overall taxable income. So the actual value of the tax break could vary depending on each household’s actual taxable income.

Be sure to save any receipt and manufacturer’s certification statement for tax purposes. And for complete information on products covered by the energy tax credit, visit the ENERGY Star website.

For homeowners, the clock is ticking on when fixtures and appliances should be replaced. With tax incentives, it’s a prudent choice to purchase an energy-efficient upgrade. But ultimately, it’s up to you.

Until next time, Happy Home Improving!

The Green DIY Energy Guide Review – Exactly What is in It?

The Green DIY Energy Guide Review – Exactly What is in It?

If you are interested in building your own solar panels, you may want to consider purchasing a DIY solar panel guide, like green DIY energy, earth 4 energy, or power 4 home. It is a great buy for those who want to build their own panels, but need some guidance along the way. It has guides, manuals and tutorial videos that walk you through the entire process.

I recently purchased the greenDIYenergy.com guide so I could see exactly what came with it and give it an honest review. After reviewing all the materials and implementing their instruction, here is what I’ve decided:

GreenDIYEnergy Guide Review Main Points: – Cost: $50 – Materials: 4 manuals (2 on wind power and 2 on solar power), 7 bonus eBooks on various green energy topics – Guarantee: 60-day full money back – Customer Service: available via email and customer forums

One of the nice things about green DIY energy is the video library. These videos are professionally done and serve as great visual examples of what you need to be doing during every step of the construction process. They follow the guide as he constructs his own panels and he does a great job of narrating and explaining what he is doing the entire time.

The one thing that is lacking in these videos, is a video covering rooftop installation. I really would have liked to see a video covering the mounting of solar panels onto the roof. It is covered in the manuals, but not in the videos.

Another solid guide you may be interested in is Earth 4 Energy. It is similar to Green DIY Energy in that it provides manuals and video tutorials about building solar panels and wind turbines. It has roughly the same amount of info and costs about the same as well.

I definitely am partial to DIY guides (mainly because I’m a bit inept when it comes to building things!), but that definitely doesn’t mean that you must have a guide to build your solar panels.

If you have experience with construction, electric wiring and soldering, you could definitely save the $50 and not buy a guide. Do a little reading up online about wiring, soldering and mounting solar panels and I doubt you will have any problem. Whatever you decide to do, I wish you luck in your DIY ventures! Enjoy your “green” transformation!

Green Saving Tips & Energy Efficient Guide

Green Saving Tips & Energy Efficient Guide

Let’s talk about this whole “green” craze. Is it me? Or did everyone turn into a tree huggin’ hippie the last 5 years? Well NO, the answer is you haven’t read the facts and if your not part of the solution, guess what?

You’re part of the PROBLEM!

Here are some things you could do to help out the environment and do your part. Some are bigger things, some are little things, but ANYTHING will help.

- Invest in buying a hybrid car.

The fuel- efficiency on these things are off the chart! talk about saving gas, saving pollution, maintenance issues. with the money your saving on all these fuel issues, these cars will pay themselves off in 2- 3 years.

**Also, an added bonus: you get fuel efficient priority parking spaces at IKEA, and other stores. You get complimentary overnight parking at green- friendly hotels in downtown Chicago or NY, LA

(a $50- $80 savings).

- Bring re- usable bags when you go shopping.

This mainly includes grocery shopping, but department store shopping as well. Target, whole foods, etc.

These bags help the environment, but also keep your items in a sturdy carrier and less susceptible to a plastic bag breaking. With 2- 3 of these bags, you’ll save over 5,000 gallons of bags in a matter of months.

**At a lot of places, you can get these bags for free. Take advantage of that and leave them in visible your car so you never forget. They can fold up and take up absolutely no room.

- STOP buying water bottles.

For some odd reason, everyone thinks that they will get lead poisoning if they drink from the sink.

Sink or tap water is not harmful to you. A lot of places have some of the cleanest water coming from the tap and if you’re THAT paranoid, buy a filtration system. Buy a Brita, a Pur – something that filters your water through the sink a little extra more. These are one- time buys, for a lifetime of water supply.

**Plus you never have to carry that 24- pk of water out of the car, up to your stairs and into the fridge and staying away from bottled water will save you money and save those little innocent plastic bottles we dispose of constantly everyday.

**Buy a permanent water bottle, that you can clean or reuse. This way, you can bring water with you to work, class or to the gym. Plus you can have a custom color and these can hold much more water than the flimsy disposable water bottles.

- Convert your home already!

From the light bulbs to the TV’s, stop wasting money, and start saving green!

There are LCD TV’s that use up more than 1/2 the power of that giant 70″ tube you’ve had since 1993.

Create solar panels to conserve energy. Magnetic power can power up your whole house, wind power can keep your electric on. update your kitchen! Keep an eye out for green- friendly appliances for your fridge, freezer, stove, oven, dishwasher, wine cellar. You could be using 3 times the energy now with your old appliances. It’s time to start saving green!

Saving money has become the hardest yet. Instead of investing in more superficial things, take the time to view some of your options. Open your eyes to a green saving environment, but it shouldn’t stop here – tell your friends, neighbors and family. The more you do, the more we save.

“Someone can’t do everything. But everyone can do something.”

9 Best Ways to Become Energy Independent, and Revolutionize the World

9 Best Ways to Become Energy Independent, and Revolutionize the World

I’d promised to write more on the idea of free energy in the last article, and so here I’m going to keep that promise. This article will deal with what I feel are the top 9 candidates for revolutionizing the world with free energy sources. Just imagine a world of the future, where the idea of putting oil into your car would sound totally ridiculous.. where electric companies don’t exist.. where you’d be crazy to even think about paying a bill every month so your power doesn’t go out. Well, you might be surprised, this far-off futuristic world really isn’t far at all. Free energy is already here. But how come some of you think it’s still years and years away? Because you’ve been lied to. I, too, thought it was total BS until I started researching it.

It turns out we have many sources of free energy that exist today. They work, they’re reliable, some are relatively inexpensive, some can power your house or car, all cause very little or no pollution, and all are independent of non-renewable resources (coal, oil). Unfortunately, many of these revolutionary methods never seem to “make it” into the marketplace, ready for practical implementation.

Well, believe it or not, it’s entirely because of government suppression. For those that don’t know how it works, keep in mind that the U.S. government (among many others) have been bought and paid for – it is the rich world bankers and oil companies that influence government policy so they can keep their place of economic power. When you have enough money to influence government policies, you can use your wealth to bribe people in the very highest political positions, all the way up to the Presidency. These world bankers are only concerned with making more money, at the expense of The People.

Morals and human decency get thrown out the window. These financial elite are not simply trying to casually keep a lid on it so they can profit for a little while longer, but in fact are doing their best to very aggressively keep the technology a secret. While some of this technology is relatively new, some of it we have had for years. Inventors and entrepreneurs eager to get this technology out there have died, and others have been incarcerated over the idea of energy independence getting out and breaking into the general marketplace. (See my other post about the Geet Fuel Processor.)

These financial elite won’t be successful, though – that is the good news. There are too many conscientious people scattered far and wide that are determined to make this technology known to the world and put into common, everyday use – eliminating our addiction to oil, domestic and foreign.

So back to these world-changing energy sources. They come from what are traditionally thought of as the four elements of nature: Earth, Air, Fire, and Water. I’ll be breaking down each category, and offering what I see as the best solution to promote free energy. In addition, there is 1 more I can think of that really don’t fall into any of those categories. For those that are skeptical about what I’m telling you regarding any of these technologies, just Google it – it’s all out there. Take this info for what it is.

EARTH:

Geothermal energy. In the simplest of terms, the core of our planet it is very, very hot. This heat radiates all throughout the earth, below the crust. There are a few different techniques to capture this geothermal energy from the ground. But generally speaking, one utilizes large tubes that reach downward, into the earth all the way down to the molten magma beneath the crust. The magma is siphoned up through the tube, and the thermal energy is collected and converted to electrical energy on the surface. The process leaves a fluid, which gets pumped back into the magma so the geothermic well doesn’t dry up, so to speak. The other type of geothermal energy is much shallower, using conductors going only 5-10 feet into the ground, winding around in specific patterns. This is more suited to smaller scale applications, like installing in your backyard. Of course, this type doesn’t pull as much electricity as one that burrows down thousands of feet, but it does indeed produce enough energy to lower your electric and heating bills.

Magnetic engines are also a very viable source of free energy. There are many designs of motors out there, but the basic concept is that more energy is gained from the device than is spent powering large electromagnets. There are also types of magnetic engines that work without the use of electromagnets, opting for rare earth magnets. It sounds like crazy science fiction that useable electricity could be produced using simply magnetic force, but it’s a reality. And it’s compact enough to put in a car, in place of the traditional internal combustion engine – working models exist. No more gas stations or oil, ever. In my opinion, this technology is far more usable and practical, on a large or small scale.

AIR:

Obviously, the one that comes to mind immediately is wind power. You’ve probably seen those giant windmills, whether it be in pictures or along certain highways. The principle is simple – the propellers spin, capturing the kinetic energy at the center, and converting it into electrical energy, ready to get pumped into your home so that you can plug in your computer and read this article. This technology works best with those giant 3-bladed wind turbines, but they can also be scaled down to more localized use. Of course, these smaller units don’t produce quite as much electricity. We know this technology works, and is scalable.. though in our country, wind power only accounts for 1.5% of our public energy, in Denmark it is a whopping 20%.

FIRE:

Well, the internal combustion engine worked for a while, but it’s now considered primitive and outdated. There are much better alternatives. Now energy can be harnessed via the largest source of fire in the solar system – The Sun. In fact, we’ve been able to do this as a viable solution for years via solar panels.. though experimenting with the technology began as early as the 1860′s, we’ve had it to a point where we were building solar power plants in the 1980′s. These plants, if enough were ever built throughout the southwestern part of the U.S. (getting the most sun), would be sufficient to run the entire country. Yes, on solar power all by itself, with no pollution whatsoever (other than the facilities needed that would produce the necessary parts which really aren’t all that complex, relatively speaking. ) There are solar powered cars, yes, but for that application there are much better alternatives, one being the magnetic motor, and the other using an engine that runs on water, as you will read about below.

WATER:

Hydroelectricity is one that comes to mind right away, like from the Hoover Dam. The water flow turns large turbines, and the resulting kinetic energy is transformed into electricity, much like all these other sources where the goal is to turn a wheel (wind turbines, the magnetic engine, etc.)

Other water-powered sources of electricity (hydropower) come in the forms of tidal power, using the predictability of tidal waves, and wave power, which utilizes large buoys to harness the wave energy that continualy crashes. Because of the fact that our oceans are constantly moving, and show no sign of stopping, these forms of hydropower are considered both a green, and renewable resource.

As far as powering a car using solely water instead of gasoline, yes, this is entirely 100% possible, and it works quite well. It’d been kept under wraps for years, but it’s made a resurgence within the past couple of decades. Now there are engines that, via electrolysis, break apart H2O into it’s base elements, Hydrogen and Oxygen. A few major car companies outside of the U.S. are going to start producing cars that run on water, and it is inevitable that these imports will be made available in America soon after.

And my favorite, so called “cold fusion”. It also happens to be the energy source that is most heavily repressed, above all other free energy technologies, to the point where researchers automatically get slammed by the scientific journals, and are consistently denied funding. In the most simplistic terms, it refers to the electrolysis of what’s called “heavy water”, or deuterium oxide. The water solution interacts with two cathodes, made of different metals, which vary – some work better than others, it would seem. There is mounting evidence that it possible to “create” energy via what some are calling a “cold” nuclear reaction, which means that it can happen at room temperatures and give off no lethal radiation, as opposed to those problems being present in “hot” fusion, requiring extreme heat and requires heavy and ridiculously expensive equipment to make happen.

Cold fusion is much more manageable – it’s much less expensive, can exist inside a glass jar, and is clean-burning. Cold fusion is still a mystery regarding exactly how it works, but we do know that a byproduct of the reaction is hydrogen. Some say it’s not technically fusion that is happening in order to create the energy, preferring to call it “Low-Energy Nuclear Reactions (LENR)”, but the fact still remains that it does produce energy. However, my guess is the vast majority of people are going to keep calling it “cold fusion” even if it turns out to not be actual fusion, kind of like how people call all bathroom tissue “Kleenex”. Even though many scientists claim the technology defies the known laws of physics, we need to keep in mind that at one time telephones and launching ourselves into space were considered impossible. I’m convinced, this is the technology that will revolutionize the world.

BIOFUELS:

There is one more source of energy that are very much worth mentioning, though they don’t strictly fall into any of the above categories. The first category is Biofuels. Biofuels are simply fuels that are organically renewable (can be grown). These can be grown via specially bred ocean alage and land crops, harvested, and regrown. However, although many newer cars that run on biofuels, they still must be chemically processed, and are not 100% clean-burning. For use in automobiles, an engine that runs on biofuels is still very much a greener alternative than traditional gasoline – but in my opinion, there are much better alternatives.

Green DIY Energy Review by a New Customer

Green DIY Energy Review by a New Customer

Ok, so I shelled out the $49.97 for the Green DIY Energy Guide, and here is my Green DIY Energy Review, nothing left out or exaggerated.

My initial reaction after I purchased the Green DIY Energy DIY Solar energy panel Kit was quite good. Once you pay, you are taken to a download page, where you can download everything directly to your computer. There are four different manuals to download, along with seven bonuses. All of them are PDF ebooks. Along with the manuals are 6 videos, and these really are my favorite part. The videos are there on the download page, and you can watch them streaming off of that page, or download them to your computer for future viewing.

The first thing I did after downloading everything was to start skimming through the Green DIY panel construction manual, and determine whether it really is a good guide, or just a shoddy mess that was thrown together.

After skimming through it, I had to admit that the authors really did put a lot of time into writing the manual. It is clear, concise and leads you through the entire process, from an introduction of how solar power works, to the DIY solar energy panel construction and wiring. It has illustrations and many photographs, which I always like to see in manuals.

After looking through the manual, I started watching the videos. And this was where I made up my mind that Green DIY Energy was a legitimate DIY solar power guide, not a money-making sham. The videos are professionally done and the host is a young guy who makes his own solar panel system right there in front of the camera. He narrates exactly what he is doing, and explains everything thoroughly.

I actually find the Green DIY Energy videos more helpful than the manuals, I’m a very visual learner, so having a good example to watch is exactly what I need.

I do wish, however, that there was a video for the mounting of the solar panel, which can be confusing. The video series ends with the complete construction of a solar panel and the testing of it.

Overall, I am very happy with my purchase, and did not mind spending the $50 on the guide. However, I shouldn’t speak too highly of Green DIY Energy yet, because I haven’t finished the construction process of my solar panels, so there may still be some snags and problems that I haven’t foreseen.

Hope this Green DIY Energy Review by an actual customer helps you make a good decision as you look for DIY solar panel guides. Good luck to you!

Save Money With Carrier’s Energy – Efficient Heat Pumps

Save Money With Carrier’s Energy – Efficient Heat Pumps

When Willis Carrier invented air conditioning in 1902 he could not have foreseen how essential his novel invention would be to comfortable living in the 21st century. In over 100 years the company he founded has continued to be an innovator in designing mechanical systems for home comfort. Heat pumps are a good example of the Carrier Company’s innovative engineering.

The invention of heat pumps actually predated air conditioners by nearly 50 years, but companies like Carrier have increased the efficiency and therefore their popularity in the last three decades. Although they serve an important function in terms of home heating and cooling, especially in times like the current when energy efficiency is critical, many people have no idea what they are and how they work.

A heat pump is a mechanical device that moves heat from one location to another. They draw heat from the air, from the ground, or from water, and either cool it (in warm weather) or heat it (in cold weather). Because they move energy rather than create energy they are an energy-efficient replacement for traditional furnaces and air conditioners, particularly in moderate climates. For example, by replacing an electric furnace with an electric pump, a homeowner can save about 35 percent on the cost of electricity for heating. They also require less energy for cooling because they remove moisture from the air more efficiently than do standard air conditioners.

Geothermal heat pumps transfer heat between the house and either the ground or a nearby source of water. Because of relatively constant ground and water temperatures, geothermal pumps are particularly energy efficient. They are, however, more costly to install, and costs vary according to the lot size and soil type. Geothermal pumps are more successful than air-source heat pumps in extremely hot or cold climates.

The absorption heat pump is a new option for heating systems for large homes. Instead of being driven by electricity, natural gas, propane, or solar-heated or geothermal-heated water fuels the system. Absorption pumps are often called gas-fired pumps because gas is the most common heat source. A big advantage of absorption pumps is that they can use a variety of fuels, making them particularly valuable for homes that do not have electric power.

Another way to maximize efficiency with a heat pump is with a hybrid system like Carrier’s dual fuel system. The system combines a gas furnace with an electric pump and switches back and forth between the two. An innovation in air-source heat pumps called reverse cycle chillers allows homeowners to choose from a variety of distribution systems for heating and cooling, resulting in greater comfort and lower energy costs.

When choosing a heat pump, homeowners should look for the EnergyGuide Label, which gives the system’s heating and cooling efficiency ratings. These ratings make it easier to compare the efficiency of various systems. Companies such as Carrier and Lennox offer different sizes and models of heat pumps that operate at different efficiencies.

One of the most important pieces of gaining permanent weight loss has nothing to do with the foods you eat or the exercises you do. It has to do with your mindset. Some people are able to lose weight effectively, and then gain it all back, while others, those who have made the proper changes to their lives to lose weight, can stay thin for the rest of their lives. The major difference between these two people is in that one person is achieving weight loss through affirmations, often without even realizing it, while the other is not. One of the most powerful tools for losing weight could en up being weight loss through affirmations.

Affirmations are a thought or a statement that we say to ourselves which has a profound effect on how we act or feel. Depending on its positive or negative nature, the mind then acts accordingly which can lead to either positive or negative impact on our lives. Thus, if you want to achieve weight loss through affirmations, you need to know how to utilize these techniques to give you the mindset of a skinny person. Weight loss through affirmations is an underused and understudied technique, but the effects can be profound.

To achieve weight loss through affirmations we must first overcome our negative thoughts because it is a major contributor to our general mindset. We must let go of these thoughts as these thoughts are major resistance to our weight loss through affirmation treatment. Instead of thinking ‘I am fat’ or ‘I will never be slim again’ try thinking ‘Today I have succeeded in losing some of excess fats’ or ‘I look thinner’. These kinds of statements leads to a positive and fruitful results.

For a positive result of weight loss through affirmations, the affirmations need to be repeated many times. Write down any positive thought you get maybe in a diary, on a piece of card or whichever way is convenient to you. Review them daily to get your mind to completely accept these thoughts and think of them as nothing but true. Preferably review them twice a day. Initially along with positive thoughts, you will eventually run across negative thoughts that continually occur to you. Note down these thoughts as well and at the end of the day review them and try replacing them with something more positive. For example if you have a thought such as ‘this isn’t working’ or ‘I don’t see any change’ try replacing it with ‘I feel lighter’ or ‘I feel thinner’ or ‘It really is working’. You should say your weight loss affirmations out loud, and try to use them in the way that you think, and you should be much better off.

Weight loss through affirmations depends on thoughts and in particular the words that one uses to attain weight loss through affirmations. Proper terminology varies from person to person, but the right words are needed for this weight loss technique to actually work. Try to us simple and direct sentences which your mind can easily get used to without causing any negative effect. This is important as even positive words can have negative effects.

One example of the power of affirmations is noted by Barbara Doberman Levine, author of “Your Body Believes Every Word You say” talked about one man who read about hypnosis and began to affirm to himself, “I am not hungry.” Instead he actually gained weight. Whenever he told himself he was not hungry his mind focused its attention to see if he was hungry. He repeated this affirm so many times that his subconscious actually put energy into making him hungry. So he felt more hungry through this affirm rather than before adopting it. Barbara Levine also says, “Telling yourself not to do something, you focus attention on the very thing you are avoiding, making it harder to avoid”.

Thus, you can not expect to achieve weight loss through affirmation using phrases like ‘I will not eat chocolate’ because this brings to mind the thought of eating chocolate, which in turn will make you desire it more. Instead, say something like ‘I eat healthy foods’ because this is vague enough to avoid problems, but focuses specifically on the idea of controlling what you eat. The words ‘no’ and ‘not’ should never appear in your weight loss affirmations.

Weight loss through affirmations is not only about having the right thoughts but is also about expressing your thoughts using right words. If weight loss affirmations are rightly utilized with proper and correct technique it can result in actual weight loss and a prefect body as we desire. When considering trying to achieve weight loss through affirmations, build up a large list of weight loss affirmations, and run through them daily or twice daily. In time, you should notice that you achieving weight loss through affirmations.

Prosperity’s 12 Affirmations are 12 powerful affirmations of prosperity and well-being drawn from the 10 Commandments (Exodus 20:1-17) and the book Prosperity’s 10 Commandments by Georgiana Tree West. The 11th and 12th affrimations are inspired by Jesus’ 2 great commandments found in Matthew 22:37-39. Prosperity’s first 4 affirmations help to internalize ideas that contribute to establishing a prospering relationship with the Fundamental Creative Energy of the Universe – God. In this article we will look at four affirmations, which will help you internalize ideas that aid in creating prospering relationships with other people. As you use these affirmations to create your abundant life, you will begin to establish habits of language and action that will enable you to create mutually prospering relationships with other people. Affirm these affirmations daily and you make these powerful prosperity principles a basic part of your life experience.

Four Affirmations for Prospering Relationships with Others

“I maintain my highest integrity when connecting with God and interacting with God’s agents of my wealth”. Perhaps this affirmation should be “I am faithful to God and respectful of people”. The key to success with this affirmation is to stay conscious of our relationship to God, our only Source of supply. Then we will remember that others are also connected to the God-Source. In this consciousness we create the possibility for everyone with whom we interact to bless us in some way. However, we must be open and receptive to the blessing. When we maintain our integrity and treat people with respect, we empower them and they are likely to empower us, quite possibly in unexpected ways.

“I keep my wealth circulating and creating blessings for others and for me”. The Commandment upon which this affirmation is based is “Thou Shalt Not Murder”. Habitual thoughts of poverty and limitation are murderers of prosperity. We affirm this affirmation in language and in action through our generosity, tithing and giving. In using this affirmation we are creating our experience of the unimpeded circulation of wealth and abundance.

“I only use my wealth for creative, uplifting, enlightening, joyful and life affirming purposes”. This affirmation helps us to keep our motives and uses for money pure and unadulterated. We remind ourselves that money is Love in action and we focus on the positive uses of our money as a pure expression of love. With this affirmation we exercise the power of intention. When we create a field of clear intention we take advantage of the natural processes of creation to yield the object or service for which we expended a portion of our wealth but we have the added benefit of spiritual and emotional satisfaction because others are blessed and benefited by our intentions and actions.

“I always give generous and fair compensation for value received”. This affirmation helps us practice the Law of Compensation which reminds us that when we are attempting to get something for nothing, we are actually trying to steal. However, when we are willing to give fair compensation for everything we receive, we stay in the continuous flow of prosperity.

Next Steps Take action by repeating these affirmations until they feel natural to you. You may want to craft your own version of these affirmations to really make them yours. The time and energy you invest in working with the affirmations will pay large dividends in your experience of prosperity and abundance.

One of the things you can do to accelerate your progress is to engage in conversations based on these four affirmations with family, friends and acquaintances.

Affirmations are simply positive, or affirmative, statements of truth. The tricky part is that the truth of the affirmation need not be a “present reality;” it can be a future reality you truly wish to create. By declaring this future reality in positive, definite terms, you are tasking your conscious and unconscious mind with finding this new reality. It is important to consider that, when your prayer is answered, it will be now; so, the proper way to “declare a thing” and make it so is to offer thanks NOW – in this moment – for your desired reality as if it had already happened. Your emotional guidance system will seek to recreate the experience of being happy for having achieved this particular goal; and it is likely to do it by bringing that goal to fruition.

Life is a continuous series of changing circumstances. Our thoughts help us make sense of this ever-changing landscape; and they help guide us from one event to another along this path to future “now’s.” Along the way to your future, you are continuously asked to offer thought as a way of generating your future realities. Change happens with or without your input; but you can create affirmative change with affirmative thought. Consider the following words from two great teachers of this path of positive thought and affirmative action:

“Be the change you seek to create in the world.” – Gandhi

“Do unto others what you would have them do unto you.” – Jesus

“Declare a thing and it is so.” – Jesus

“As a man thinketh, so is he.” – Jesus

“Our thoughts become our words as they become our beliefs; our beliefs become our actions as they become our habits. Our habits become our values as our values become our destiny.” – Gandhi

“Whatsoever you desire, when you stand in prayer – believing – will be given unto you.” – Jesus

Believing in a thing is affirming it – it makes it firm, or physical. As you think about a thing which has sparked your interest or curiosity, or which has become desirable to you, your thoughts will naturally want to return there. As you think of a new thing, you will begin to notice that new thing in your world where you haven’t noticed it before. You will also begin to look in new places, read new books and magazines, and perhaps begin doing research or study in this new area of thought. As you give more attention and thought-energy to these ideas, you will develop mental imagery and additional ideas.

The imagery and new ideas you experience, while giving thought to your new desire, will make you feel a certain way. If the feelings are positive, your desire will grow; if your feelings are negative the desire may also grow, but it will likely grow into that which you are afraid of. If your thoughts are positive, and they excite you, you will probably begin speaking about them, as we think and talk about those things which most interest us. These thoughts and words will then stimulate actions and behaviors. Affirmative thoughts inspire affirmative action. Inspired action seems to be effortless and always creates positive change and new realities.

Just imagine that you are programming a computer; you wouldn’t tell the computer all the things you don’t want it to do. You simply tell the computer – in a language it understands – what you want it to do; and then you tell it to do it. Your mind and body operate in much the same way; so, your self-talk – which is actually a type of self-programming – should always be affirmations of what you want to happen. Your programs should always be positive, affirmative, direct, and specific; but you should keep in mind that this is a process – and part of the process is exercising patience and a peaceful countenance. You may not master this immediately; so relax, and be of good cheer.

By thinking and speaking affirmative words, we can generate an affirmative mood, or disposition; an affirmative disposition is one which is free from stress. This state of mind and body is a healing state. Positive thoughts do not stress us out; that’s because they do not cause or stimulate the release of the harmful stress hormones which we experience as “bad feelings.” The way we phrase our words and intentions has a lot to do with the way our subconscious hears, interprets, and acts on those thoughts we hold so important that we took the time and energy to turn them into words. When you turn a desire into words, it is one step closer to becoming a physical reality.

Imagine that you are ordering dinner and you tell the waitress what NOT to bring you. Do you know what you will get for dinner? Some people say that affirmations are not useful or effective because they affirm the lack of the thing you are affirming. In these cases, semantics are everything; re-framing your negative desires into positive affirmations may take some time and thought, but it is worth it. A declaration of what you do not want is really a “negation,” and not an “affirmation.”

By saying, “I don’t want to be sick,” or “God, please take away my illness,” you are focusing on the fact that you are sick, or have an illness; and you are trying to negate it by thinking about it. This does not work. Though you may heal; it will be through natural processes that you could have sped up with an affirmation instead of slowing down with a negation. “Thank you, God, for giving me this wonderful health and strength so I can go for a walk!” is a much better prayer for restoring health and wellness than those listed above.

To create health, wellness, happiness, success, and prosperity, in all areas of your life, begin thinking positively and affirmatively. Think creatively and optimistically if you wish to create a new reality. Express gratitude in your affirmations; and try to feel the feeling of gratitude in your heart as you imagine the happy, new reality you wish to create. Continue to affirm only those things you wish to experience in your life, body, and experience. Below are a few examples of affirmative prayers for health, prosperity, etc; they will give you an idea of how effective thinkers effectively create using effective, affirmative thought. Affirmations need only contain gratitude, joy, and a positive intention.

Try generating a new attitude in the areas where you have problems or suffering. Consider re-framing your focus on the most positive statement you could make about the conditions you wish to experience. “A man must first assume those characteristics he wishes to possess.” Some people say, “Fake it until you make it;” but repeating affirmations will help you choose a more positive track for your thoughts. Try some of the following affirmative thoughts and see how they feel to you; say them out loud and hear how they make you feel:

If you are ill and thinking, “God I feel miserable!” try thinking:

Health – “Thank you, God, for giving me health and strength so that I might live fully and be a model of health and joy to others. Thank you for giving me the strength, courage, and willingness, to do the things that enrich and empower me…”

If you are in turmoil and chaos and thinking, “I’m going to kill someone if these people don’t get off my back!” or “I don’t know what to do! I’m so afraid and worried…” try thinking:

Peace – “Thank you, God, for giving me peace. Thank you for giving me faith and trust and for quieting my mind so that I might rest and hear more clearly your will…”

If you are experiencing relationship problems, instead of thinking, “God I am married to such a _________!!! I can’t stand this anymore!” try thinking:

Relationships – “Thank you, God, for giving me the love and wisdom to see you in all your creation and to love all creation and all living things unconditionally. Love and harmony are alive and well in all my relationships.”

If you are experiencing weight issues and you hate what you see in the mirror, try thinking:

Weight Loss – “I am happy and peaceful here and now. I am safe and loved and create my own peace, security, and nourishment from the power from within me. I am free; and I release the past and others to be free now.”

If you are having financial difficulties, instead of thinking about debt, or a pile of bills, try thinking:

Prosperity – “My good returns to me now in an avalanche of abundance; thank you, God, for prospering me in all my ways. Only good comes to me; and there is always more than enough to share.”

If you can’t seem to make things work out, and you’re thinking, “Why can’t I ever catch a break?” try thinking:

Success – “Thank you, God, for growing my good thoughts now. I give thanks for the wonderful insights and ideas which I have been given and are now coming to light. Thank you for all things going my way, favoring me with your blessings, and for benefiting all as your grace now benefits me. “

“It’s the repetition of affirmations that leads to belief. And once that belief becomes a deep conviction, things begin to happen.”

– Muhammad Ali
