Lying in bed, still feeling the dream world I had visited, I opened my eyes and read from Paramahansa Yogananda's "Scientific Healing Affirmations." With feeling, with conviction, I read the affirmation in that impressionable state just after waking. This affirmation is being sowed now, within my being, and I finally believe it, the one I doubted for so long, I finally feel it, I mused. An affirmation for an affirmation. And so the day began—my usual morning ritual proceeded.
