A clear, well written affirmation sends your message to the Universe, and the Universe listens and responds...Thereby helping you manifest your dreams! This photograph was NASA's "Astronomy Picture of the Day" for 10 May 2003.  The picture's "Eye of God" appellation appears to have been a title coined by an admirer of the photo due to the nebula's resemblance to a human eye. I couldn't believe it either, so I looked it up on one of those Urban Legends websites and here's what i found:

Claim:   Photograph taken by the Hubble Telescope shows the 'Eye of God.' Status:   True Origins:   This is a real photograph of the Helix Nebula, although it's technically not a single photograph but rather a composite image formed from several photographs taken by NASA's orbiting Hubble Space Telescope and a land-based telescope at the Kitty Peak National Observatory near Tucson, Arizona. I invite you to formulate an empowering affirmation using the guidelines below, then recite the incantation while gazing into this inspiring image.

There are various ways of working with affirmations: they can be spoken,  recorded in your private diary repetitively, or written on individual sticky notes and hung around your daily environment. Some Guidlines for using affirmations: *    Create your affirmation in present tense. Place yourself in the situation as you want it - to talk about it in future tense will mean your desire is always waiting to happen. *    Use only positive words. The Universe does not acknowledge words such as "not" or "don't". So, instead of saying "I am not poor" (the Universe will only hear "I am poor"), say "I have enough money for all that I need". *    Indulge yourself in the moment as your affirmation sinks in. Then, let it go. By not dwelling on how the change might show up, you let the Universe work her magic naturally. *    Keep your affirmation short and specific. Focus on one key element at a time, without the clutter of many desires all at once. *    Repetition of your affirmation means your desire can sink into every fibre of your being, settling naturally into your way of life. More Tips: *    Write the affirmation by hand. Write it hundreds of times, until the affirmation has imprinted itself into your subconscious mind. *    First thing in the morning or last thing at night when you are your most relaxed are good times to use affirmations. Our minds are more open to absorbing behaviour-changing patterns then. *    Generally, work with any single affirmation a maximum of two weeks. This isn't too long for staleness to set in, but long enough for the message to sink to every corner of your self-perception. *    Dedicate your energy to every time you repeat your affirmation. To parrot your affirmation undermines its power and is a waste of time.Here are
