Dr. Murphy believed that prayers and affirmations are not petitions to a distant God but instructions to your own subconscious mind โ€” which he called “God in action” within you. He taught that the subconscious does not argue, judge, or evaluate. It simply accepts what the conscious mind impresses upon it and moves heaven and earth to make it so. These are his words. Use them with feeling, repetition, and conviction.

How to Use These Prayers & Affirmations

Murphy’s own instructions for making affirmations work, from The Power of Your Subconscious Mind.

Murphy was precise about method. He did not teach random positive thinking. He taught a disciplined practice with specific mechanics. Before reading the affirmations below, absorb these four principles he returned to again and again in his writing and preaching.

Principle 01 ยท Relaxation

Still the wheels of your mind. Relax. Let go. Speak your affirmation from a calm, receptive state โ€” not from anxiety or strain.

The Power of Your Subconscious Mind
Principle 02 ยท Present Tense

Always affirm in the present tense. Not “I will be healed” but “I am healed.” The subconscious responds to what IS, not what will be.

Scientific Prayer Method
Principle 03 ยท Feeling

Nothing happens without feeling. The subconscious responds most powerfully to charged emotion. Read slowly. Feel every word.

The Miracle of Mind Dynamics
Principle 04 ยท Best Times

The two most powerful moments are just before sleep and upon waking โ€” when the conscious mind is most relaxed and the subconscious most receptive.

Murphy’s Recommended Daily Practice

Repeat your chosen affirmation slowly and with feeling, 5โ€“10 times per sitting. Sit for three sittings per day โ€” morning, midday, and immediately before sleep. “What you consciously affirm, you must not mentally deny a few moments later. This will neutralize the good you have affirmed.”

Healing & Health Affirmations

From The Power of Your Subconscious Mind and The Miracle of Mind Dynamics. Murphy taught that the body’s intelligence knows how to heal and only needs the right mental conditions to do so.

Healing Prayer ยท For Another Person

Silently and quietly, all distorted thought patterns in my subconscious mind are removed and dissolved, and vitality, wholeness, and beauty are now expressed.

Murphy’s Note on Healing Affirmations

“The doctor dresses the wound, and God heals it.” Murphy insisted that healing was the natural state and that sickness resulted from negative mental patterns. He taught sitting quietly in a meditative state and repeating the healing affirmation with faith morning and evening, just before sleep.

Why Murphy Emphasized the Sleep Prayer

“Once it is set in motion in a certain direction, the kinetic action of the subconscious mind continues throughout your sleep. That is why it is so critical to give the subconscious mind something beneficial to work on as you drop off into slumber.” Never discuss ailments or problems in the hours before sleep.
