- WHATS BETTER THAN AFFORMATIONS?
Something I learned from a friend of mine Noah St. John. He flipped the "affirmation" concept on it's head and really created a self help practice that works the way the brain functions. By asking questions.
Why do I know that watching this video will lead to a major breakthrough in resolving my TMS symptoms?! 🙏😊
Perfect use of an Afformation. :-)
Dan, I have been watching you for less than a week everyday and you have helped more than anyone in my life of 71 years! Have suffered my whole life and have tried endlessly to find peace and happiness inside my thoughts. I am a big fan of Louise Haye who I found 30 years ago. The affirmations only help just so far. This is brilliant!! Thanks so much for your guidance.
That is awesome to hear. Keep on watching. And if you'd like help implementing my concepts, I have a video course and group coaching program that meets 4x a week. You can attend just one or multiple. It's up to you. Details here: www.PainFreeYou.com/join
Why is it soooo easy for me to trick my brain into thinking I’m awesome?!?! Why is it sooooo easy for Dan to help people? Thank u Dan. 🤩
Ahhhh - thank you Jane. :-)
I definately agree with what you say. This is so powerful for having tried it on many situations. This method is part of my everyday things to do, and it works every time! I just love it. Thanks for your sharing bro.
Why am I having so much fun today?
yep - that's a great one. I love "How much fun can I have today?" too.
Great video. I love how you explain it from your point of view.
Both affirmations and afformations can take months to work. That's why persistence and consistency with your wording is key.
Yes! Thank you!
This is one my favorite videos. After a few days I already feel more relaxed and okay. Hope you will do another video on this idea!
Truly phenomenal. Great explanation. I’m just now beginning afformations. Question form is good.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Insanely helpful. Its like a brain hack
Psycho- cybernetis is similar to afforemations, our subconscious is goal oriented servo- mechanism and will get to work immediately.
Yes, interesting book I read years ago. I should probably give it another read.
this is so true it’s like the quote instead of saying “why me” ask “what is this teaching me”
That is a great reframe. Love it.
I ordered his books! Makes so much sense. Thanks Dan!❤
Wonderful!
i love this. it is so easy to relate to the way you presented it.
I loved this, I love this presentation I love your personality I love what you are saying if I would want to be somebody else other than myself it would be you, I've never said this to anybody I never thought such a thing before but I think you're wonderful, thank you so much for this :)
Wow! Fantastic video.... 😍👌Never liked affirmations but this makes TOTAL sense! Cannot believe I have not heard this ANYWHERE before despite the hundreds of you tube podcasts by many different people /Curable app. Like you I've been struggling for years ago why do I know this is absolutely going to help!? ... Thank You so much Dan for all your work 🙏
Love listening to you. 💕
Glad it was helpful!
This is so helpful! Why do I always find so much comfort in your videos?
Not sure, but very humbled that you do find them helpful and comforting. :-)
I have a feeling this is going to be very helpful, thank you so much! God bless.
Put it into practice. :-)
I agree with you about affirmstions.. I studied UNITY for 30 years..and they were all about affirmations..and as much as I love their beliefs I could never really "get into" doing the affirmations..
Try flipping it into a question as shown in the video.
This is so interesting. I’ll have to try this. I’ve done years of positive affirmations, but not framed them in questions like this.
Give it a go.
Dan, you are so spot on! I just learned about them and have been putting them to work. Little shifts have begun to happen. I have subscribed! Thank you. Why do we have more afformation videos on you tube? 😉
The afformations were a creation of Noah St. John. I'm sure he has some videos out there.
Why am I so relaxed?
I like it.
Thank you for this! I have always been unable to accept affirmations . I will definitely give this a try
Wonderful!
Thanks Dan, Iv made my list of questions, so I read them in the morning and night and don’t do anything apart from let my brain answer, if negative responses just ignore, let them go? I do affirmations at time but just feel like I’m lying to myself so LOVE this approach
Glad you like this approach. Yes, just pose the questions and don't worry about what happens next. Simply pose the questions and go about your day. Your brain will handle the rest.
This is a whole new concept for me. I have been doing everything all wrong. Thank you so much Dan. 🙏
P.s. I thought the lighting was beautiful and I loved hearing the sprinkler in the background!
You weren't doing anything wrong. This is just a different way. :-)
@@PainFreeYou Injured my back from doing a foolish thing moving a empty chest in my apt and have spasms & pain from neck down to bottom of foot 2/recent MRIs that scared me with all the junk they said. So not sure if TMS will help or not YET wanted to say thank you for telling marilyn above she wasn't doing anything wrong. This is just different. I hear way too much that you are doing it wrong etc etc etc.
@@maryamighi6834 The best way to learn about how pain works is my getting started page. Watch the Perceived Danger Pain video in particular. Often an acute onset of pain is not really an injury, it's an acute onset of TMS or Perceived Danger Pain.
Here's the getting started page:
www.PainFreeYou.com/start
I do believe this approach can absolutely help you.
oh. my. goodness.
THIS.
I've tried affirmations (body/health focused) sooo many times and nothing changed. Kept thinking what is so wrong with me?!? Then I found your channel and facebook group! I've seen a huge shift just in ONE DAY. I now see I've had TMS for about 30+ YEARS. I am going to sign up for your group coaching!! Ya'll this is LIFE CHANGING stuff here! THANK YOU DAN!!!
Wonderful! You are in the right place Michele!!!
Nice. What have u noticed?
I know the guy who created afformations :-). Noah St. John.
I think this is the most important message I've ever seen in my life! THank you! I'll mark this video to watch it several times
wow - thank you.
@@PainFreeYou I'll start watching other videos of your channel aswell. I was wondering how can I use afformations to cure health problems? Is it possible? WHat about applying it to another person, for instance, to attract a mentor or the right business associate. Thank you again!
you are my favorite tms channel it gives me the highest vibe !! I was watching another one (not to compare) but I found myself frustrated and annoyed and I told myself go watch Dan instead, and boom vibration back in tact 😇 thank you for your consistent content and your good vibes ❣️❣️❣️
Wow - love that.
Amazing! I can feel it already.
This is perfect for my super self critical mind - it allows for exploration of better states rather than attempting to rigidly force them.
Thank you so much!
Thank you so much for this amazing video!! I am going to do this practice every day!!
You're so welcome!
Those were great afformations! Glad my afformations method helps. 🙌
This is so powerful! Thank you!!
Thank you for the kind words Sarah. Be sure to put it into practice. That's where the real power lies.
This is genius lol putting your brain to work in a positive way,great video 👍
Hi Dan, I’ve been watching a couple of your videos and find them very illuminating, thank you!
Glad you like them!
Absolutely agree!!! 👍😊
When you ask yourself, Why Am I So Rich? You are speaking from an alternate reality where You Are Already Rich. We are constantly time jumping every second. Where your consciousness is; that's where you are. That's the secret of teleportation and time travel.
I'm not referring to any alternate reality. I'm simply referring to posing empowering questions to our brains so that it can go to work on finding the answers. "Why am I so Grateful?" The brain will go to work finding all of that.
Hmmm thanks for that perspective!

Noah St. John says to always use "why" questions, and never "how" questions.
Thank you. I may have overlooked that.
I'm so glad I found your videos Dan, really grateful. I started getting 'migraines' about 4 years ago, and steadily the intervals between headaches grew shorter, and the headaches became more intense, so down the rabbit hole of headache relief I plunged. Anyway, stumbled upon the work of Dr Sarno and my thrashing around the pain relief rabbit hole ceased. As I watched your excellent video here tonight the question gently bubbled up in my mind: 'How come my grandchildren love me so much?', and I'm about to go to sleep with that question percolating around my mind, thanks to your wonderful video, so thanks. What also comes to mind are the words of a philosopher, who it is said, lived in northern India about 2,600 years ago; "We are what we think,. All that we are arises with our thoughts. With our thoughts, we make the world."
You are doing good work here.
Denis, Cork City, Republic of Ireland.
Yes, yes, yes. We ARE what we think. And we get to choose our thoughts so we get to choose who we are. Very powerful. Thank you for sharing!
Thank you. This has been so helpful.
I m going to try this technique.
Wonderful! It's powerful when used consistently.
I like this a lot! Wrote it down. Will start my mornings this way. Thank you.
Wonderful!
Well spoken and true.
Hello I m from France,not really good in English but I globally understand, I m happy to listen to your video. Without forcing you to do something, is it OK for you to Categorize your videos, you have so many.. . Thank you.
Love this. So helpful. Thank you!
Glad it was helpful!
lol I’m guilty !! my affirmations “ my back is comfortable “ 🤣🤣🤣 - why is it so easy to feel my emotions? why is it so easy for me to feel my emotions without feeling guilty for the “bad ones”? why is it so easy for me to feel at peace with the present moment?
YES - love it.
This is a great video with a brilliant concept💡 👏 I'm going to do this.
Thank you!
This is so helpful Dan. I'd heard about afformations but you did a great job of applying them to TMS. Grateful for your vlogs. Thank you!
Thanks Lisa - I've actually met Noah St. John the gentleman who created Affirmations. Smart man. And thanks for the kind feedback. Greatly appreciated. :-)
Why is it so easy for me to be pain free?
How come I can effortlessly release my TMS using afformations?
How did I so QUICKLY master Dr. Sarno's, Dan's, and Noah St. John's techniques?
Love it. Great examples.
@@PainFreeYou TY
Thank you, this makes sense Im going to try it out
Thank you 🇬🇧
You are a genius ❤ thank you
You're welcome 😊
Hi Dan great video i wrote some questions down... Brilliant idea. Why do i know i am already ok?And why do i feel these affirmations are going to be soo helpful? Thank you and love you 😘😘😘
Perfect.
Been doing this, as well as speaking 3-5 things I’m grateful for, every morning for a few weeks now. Thank you, I feel it is helping (even if just to make me happier and more content with my life!) I wonder - do the afformations need to be different each day? I have a few “go to’s” that I use regularly
No, they do not need to be different each day. Play around with them or stick with what works. :-)
Absolutely language matters I agree 100%.
Excellent message 👏👏🌟
Glad you think so!
brilliant. hope youre well. x
All good
This is soooooo helpful!
Glad it was helpful!
Great technique
Glad you think so!
Perfect!
Nice video! Out of curiosity, what camera are you using? It looks amazing!!
Canon M50 with the Kit 15mm - 45mm lens and a Rode VideoMicro microphone. Great autofocus on the camera.
@@PainFreeYou awesome! Thank you for replying. I'm definitely thinking about getting one. The autofocus looks amazing like you mentioned!
I know this is a 4 year old vid I stumbled on, but I got a sense at the end of the video that you were going to revisit it at some point. Did that ever happen?
This is so good to know! I listen to Sarnos meditation on you tube every day..he says " there is nothing wrong with your back..your shoulder..your knee ..or your foot ect... is that a body affirmation? I think of it more as accurate information.
Regardless of what you call it, (affirmation) - it's really instructions to your brain that you are NOT broken. No downside to that.
You look like really nice person
But the subconscious mind doesn't know what's true or not. From what Joseph Murphy or Neville goodard would teach so why wouldn't both would work I believe is how we paraphrase our ideas or thoughts. In my opinion. Why can't they both help us evolve.
I didn't say that affirmations can't help us. I'm just pointing out that if you are making statements the brain doesn't believe, it's unsustainable. We feel silly making these statements so we quit before the brain believes them. That's all. Yes, both can work. Afformations (asking questions) seems to be easier.
@@PainFreeYou Im agreeing with you I was making a generalized observation.
I have a question.
What should I do after asking an afformation?
Nothing, the concept is to pose the question to the brain and let IT come up with answers throughout your day. Just pose the questions.
This is awesome, Dan! Question: is it okay to make a whole long list of these or would it be easier for the brain to pick a handful at a time.
You can make a list of afformations and read them each morning and night. Let the brain to to work on the answers.
Why so easy for me to get married. I am from Cuba, I speak spanish, but i like english language. I want to improve my english skills.
Perfect. Keep at it.
I have a question, what about the old thoughts!! What should I do when the old thoughts pop up? Should I flip them into my afformations ? Should I stop thinking them for good?
We can't stop thoughts. They will come and go. We don't have to listen to them. The less importance we place on the old thoughts, the less power they have. Just watch them float by with an attitude of indifference.
Can I say my afformations while I’m listening to subliminal for instant results?
Feel free to experiment - but I don't believe there's such a thing as instant results. We need to teach our brain that our body is already fine and that we're not in danger. That often takes some time. But please experiment with your idea and keep me posted of your results.
Hello! So I recently just learned about TMS. It has been affecting my back for about a year now. The pain has been pretty rough and until recently, I thought there was something structurally wrong with my back. Now that I realize this, I have returned to normal activities like running and stretching. I have noticed that my pain almost "resets". So ill go and sit cross-legged which originally is a position I thought id never sit in again. So when I start sitting cross-legged it hurts really bad but then the pain eases away. Next, ill go into a child pose and the same thing happens pain is there and goes away. during this time of me stretching I am able to go back to sitting cross-legged and in child's pose effortlessly with no pain but as a go about my day, maybe 30 minutes later and try its back to the same thing with the pain almost "resetting" and I have to do it all over again. My question is, if I just keep doing this and telling my body it's ok to do this will it eventually stop hurting and the resetting will stop? It's hard pushing through it 5-10 times a day and is mildly discouraging but I don't let it stop me. How can I stop this resetting and live a pain-free life from waking up to going to sleep? Thank you!
Actually, doing the stretching is just teaching the brain that the body is the problem. It's not. Understand what's going on. The brain perceiving danger is the cause. A great place to begin is:

@@PainFreeYou thanks for the response. I’m not doing the stretching to “heal” my body for I know there is nothing to heal. The only reason I do the stretches is to feel the pain dissipate and know that it’s a false Alarm. The feeling of overcoming the pain and feeling it go away is empowering and almost feels like it’s reinforcing that the pain is not structural and that it is just my brain giving me warning signals.
Now that I rephrased the intent of the stretching should I stop? If so why
Upon reflecting, I realized that I was doing these activities with such intensity and pressure to get better it might have been making it worse. I’m trying to live in a state of being lighter and more relaxed and trying to assure my brain I am indeed safe.
Yeah we all got brain washed by pandemic so repetition does work.
😅
How many times to ask the question?
Just once each day. The brain will work on it.
@@PainFreeYou Thank you for your response however I am still confused on how many times to repeat it in a SESSION. Like if I am afforming in the morning then do i need to ask only once or repeat it like affirmation? Like one time or ten times per Session?
@@redbull_99 No, as I stated, you pose the question ONCE and the brain will work throughout the day to find the answer to your empowering question. If you want a deep dive into this, get the book by the author who created this process. The Book of Afformations - Noah St John.
@@PainFreeYou Thank you so much for clarifying my doubts. You are awesome!! 🥰
Hi! Are you still using this method?
Please share your successes here or on new video. Thank you
Asking better questions is always a good practice. Yes, I use this concept.
@@PainFreeYou But does it work, or its just words?
@@antonnovo695 Yes, it works. Our brains function by answering the questions we pose all day. If you ask better questions, you'll get better results. There's a book on this topic. The Book of Afformations by Noah St. John. I'm sure there are RUclips videos from him as well.
@@PainFreeYou Thank you for replying. Do you think you can heal yourself with afformations? I mean if you ask for example 'why do I sleep so good' or 'why are my eyes healthy'? Or its just a pie in the sky? Thanks
@@antonnovo695 This is just one tool in the toolbox. There are many ways to teach your brain you are safe. ruclips.net/video/5SsKnAgAvnY/видео.html
Why don't you teach in q positive way and not in an negative way? That's stupid!!
Huh? What's negative about how I'm teaching this concept?
@18818: what's negative or stupid about it?😮😮
Do we have to repeat afformations how many times a day should we say them
No - it's not about just repeating afformations. It's more about knowing that we are actually okay. If you like afformations, we don't have to do it all the time. Ask the right empowering questions and your brain will go to work on the answers throughout the day. If you want to do more, do more. There is no "correct" answer.
