A text by Alina Lakatos brings together reflections on personal renewal, emotional balance and spiritual beliefs associated with Archangel Michael.
Letting go of limiting beliefs, reconsidering expectations and seeking greater balance are the central themes of the cleansing prayer and affirmations presented below. The text offers ten first-person statements intended for personal spiritual reflection.
Originally framed as a way to welcome 2016, the passage addresses subjects that extend beyond that date, including family relationships, self-worth, creativity and respect for other people’s paths.
References to the “Higher Self,” karma, higher dimensions and spiritual energy express the beliefs contained in the text. They should be understood in that spiritual context, rather than as established scientific explanations or guarantees of health, financial security or personal change.
Ten affirmations for reflection
- Letting go of expectations about spiritual progressI release all expectations concerning my spiritual growth and progress. I live in the present each day, focusing on restoring harmony and balance within my body, spirit and emotions, and aligning my whole being with my Higher Self.
- Releasing attachments within relationshipsI revoke all agreements made with my mother, father, children, stepchildren, husband or wife, former spouse, or anyone else that may keep me bound to the third dimension.
- Reconsidering beliefs about self-worthI release all limiting beliefs about my worth and my understanding of love, joy, peace, security, harmony, abundance, creativity, vitality, youth, health and well-being, aging and death.
- Letting go of the need to save othersI release the need to save the world or any person in it. I recognize that my purpose is to embrace self-mastery and live as an example of life and love, without expecting anything from anyone in return.
- Reflecting on the relationship with the bodyI release all prejudices and cellular memories concerning my physical body. I claim my divine right to beauty, vitality, health and well-being, believing these to be my natural state and trusting that following the guidance of Spirit allows this perfection to manifest.
- Releasing expectations about work and creativityI release all expectations concerning my creativity and work. I work and create for the joy of it, recognizing that abundance and resources come from Spirit and my self-confidence, as well as from my efforts.
- Affirming personal autonomyI reject any third-dimensional conditions that governmental or related institutions may seek to impose on me. They cannot control my being, my abundance or my security. I affirm my ability to create security, live independently and direct my own destiny.
- Releasing karmic burdensI release all karmic residue and debts, along with unsuitable energies within me and my physical, emotional and astral bodies. I resolve all conditioning willingly and with ease, so that I may expand the light and join the co-creators of Paradise on Earth.
- Remaining open to spiritual learningI release all false beliefs about my ability to receive knowledge, wisdom and relevant information from Spirit and the higher dimensions. I welcome new understanding, ideas and wisdom that allow me to learn, grow and serve as a living example.
- Respecting other people’s pathsI release all judgments, preconceived ideas and expectations concerning other people, recognizing that each is in their own place and stage of development. I offer them love and encouragement, sharing information only when asked and remembering that my truth may not be theirs.
A text centered on personal reflection
The passage moves from individual expectations and relationships to broader ideas about autonomy, spiritual learning and acceptance. Its final affirmation emphasizes offering encouragement without imposing personal beliefs on others.
Readers may approach these statements as expressions of faith or prompts for reflection, according to their own convictions.
