It was recommended in the last chapter that the channel creates his/her own intentions for the situations in life where the support of Reiki is being considered. The following basic rules will help create effective intentions:
A. Always phrase the affirmations in the present continuous tense and not in the future.
B. Always phrase them in the most positive way that you spontaneously can. ‘No’s’ and ‘Don’t’ have the opposite effect as our mind does not have the ability to register negative words. “Do not see a red parrot” has the same effect on the mind as “See a red parrot”.
C. Similarly, strong words like Success, Protected have a stronger effect on our minds. Words like Cancer, AIDS on the other hand have a strong negative influence on our minds.
