Scientific Healing Affirmations

Reprint of Yogananda's 1924 First Edition

Scientific Healing Affirmations is a beloved classic book of the great yoga master, Paramhansa Yogananda (1893-1952), author of Autobiography of a Yogi. It is a pioneering work of self-healing and self-transformation, exploring the marvelous power of our mind.

An affirmation is a positive statement of truth to which we aspire. Words are crystallized thoughts, and have real power when spoken with concentration. Repeated affirmations work directly on re-programming the subconscious mind, by changing thought patterns and deeply ingrained habits.

This 1924 first edition of Scientific Healing Affirmations is faithful to the original writing of Yogananda, with all his depth and wisdom, uniquely and eloquently expressed.

In this book, Yogananda explains in simple language how affirmation can transform us-physically, mentally, and spiritually. He then gives us clear instruction in how to practice, and gives us dozens of affirmations to choose from, according to our specific needs.

About the Author
Yogananda, Paramhansa: - Paramhansa Yogananda (often spelled Paramahansa Yogananda) was born on January 5, 1893 in Gorakhpur, India. He was the first yoga master of India to permanently live and teach in the West. Yogananda arrived in America in 1920, and traveled throughout the United States on what he called his spiritual campaigns. His enthusiastic audiences filled the largest halls in America. Hundreds of thousands came to see the yogi from India. At some packed venues thousands were turned away nightly. A national sensation, Yogananda's lectures and books were extensively written about by the major media of the era, including Time magazine, Newsweek, and Life. He was even invited to the White House by President Calvin Coolidge. Yogananda continued to lecture and write up to his passing in 1952. Yogananda's initial impact was truly impressive. But his lasting impact has been even greater. Yogananda's Autobiography of a Yogi, first published in 1946, helped launch a spiritual revolution throughout the world. His message was nonsectarian and universal. Yogananda's Guru, Swami Sri Yukteswar, sent him to the West with the admonition, The West is high in material attainments, but lacking in spiritual understanding. It is God's will that you play a role in teaching mankind the value of balancing the material with an inner, spiritual life.
