Here at AffirmationsThatWork.com I publish Ebooks, courses, and articles about different ways you can use affirmations and visualizations to improve your health and well-being.

This site was created by me, Jennifer Shepherd. I'm a syndicated newspaper columnist, magazine columnist, digital artist, shamanic healer and psychic. You may have seen my writing under my trademarked name, Lipstick Mystic® .

My Background as a Psychic and Healer

I have 25 years of professional history working in the healing arts - first as a psychic counsellor with my own private practice (for about a decade) and later as a writer, shamanic practitioner, and researcher into alternative forms of healing. I used to do a lot of national radio shows in the morning giving readings to people, and I even had my ghostbusting work featured on a few TV shows.

I publish a LOT of other websites. Over time, this one will fill out as I add more content and articles and I start to publish more books.

My Newest Publication: The Money Materialization Course

Right now, my newest publication is a 21 lesson self-study course called The Money Materialization Course.

Throughout my many years of research and work with clients I've often been called upon to look into intense aspects of personal healing that force my clients to delve very deeply into their personal emotional and psychic makeup. In my roles as psychic counsellor, teacher, and shamanic healer I've helped over 10,000 people learn to identify personal blockages like tribal conditioning, negative programming they've absorbed from family, romantic partners, and friends, and "default" creation tendencies which too often lock them into poverty consciousness, lack of success, and lack of confidence around generating money flow in their lives.

Money is a TOUCHY and difficult subject for most people! Over time I've learned many workarounds, powerful shamanic techniques, and other methods to help people overcome money blockages ranging from the severe (if they grew up in abject poverty) to mild (if they grew up in an environment where money wasn't so problematic.)

The Money Materialization Course is designed to help you release stuff that's holding you back from receiving an abundant supply of money, personal and professional income, and just general financial "luck", which is part of your spiritual inheritance as a powerful creative being. Sometimes you have to change some VERY core attitudes and deeply held belief systems in order to create a real shift for yourself around money, and it takes some work. Simple affirmations or visualizations might not be enough because you could just be dealing with your problems at a surface level.

The Money Materialization Course takes you deeper, into dark, secret places within your psyche, within your "tribe," and within your personal conditioning so you can fully understand your "baseline" of financial energy and learn to shift it in a more progressive direction.

I've made Lesson One of this course available as a free download because I'm so excited to introduce you to this material. If you'd like to download it, simply sign up in the signup form at the top right of this page, and after you confirm your subscription, you'll receive a link where you can download this explosive 30 page Lesson.

I'm warning you -- some of this material might be triggering, intense, or challenging!  That's what makes these teachings so effective.

If you're tired of superficial solutions and are willing to look deeper into why you're holding yourself back from experiencing a full range of financial and material abundance in your life, then I strongly encourage you to check out the free lesson. I know you'll love it!

Religions vs. Spirituality

As your teacher and guide, I want you to know that I am NOT a member of ANY conventional religion and have never been indoctrinated into a "system" or belief structure which might cloud my view. I've always approached self-improvement and spiritual subjects as a psychic and a skeptic first -- evaluating and testing the energies while avoiding bias as best I can, and then carefully examining other accumulated evidence and experience to see if it matches what I have found to be true in any one situation. And I constantly re-examine, retest, and revise my findings, as any good researcher should.

So basically, I'm not your typical New Age chick, although I do syndicate light and fluffy astrology columns to various newspapers, and many people prefer to see me as a more "mainstream" type of metaphysical writer (mostly because they can't handle what I REALLY do.) I used to write much more in depth monthly metaphysical columns for lots of different magazines, but since most of these magazines are long gone, I just publish that type of material on my own websites and in my own books now.

My perspective is mostly informed by being somewhat of a "Gnostic" Christian (gnostic meaning "to know," to seek direct spiritual experiences through the senses instead of relying on old books, dead gods, or authority figures to tell you what to do.) But I will never actually JOIN any traditional Christian congregation because it is one of the bloodiest institutions in recorded history. 

Jesus, though? He's the best. He comes from a dimension of such intense altruistic love that to even invoke his help sincerely in prayer or meditation boosts your energy and heals. He's the real deal, although in my interactions with him, he doesn't want anybody to call him Lord or worship him.  Basically, the Church has everything wrong. It's sort of an upside down structure, an inverse system that too often leads people AWAY from the very thing they crave - a sense of connection with Love, with Creation, with a cosmic intelligence that moves through time, space and dimension.

I'm a little bit  "pagan" - pagan originally came from "paganni," or "people who lived in the country." It refers to people who honored the healing traditions and spiritual understanding of all the indigenous peoples - who lived in harmony with nature and saw all of life as sacred, including Mother Earth herself.

And I have had great experiences using shamanic healing types of techniques although I am not authorized to be an "official" type of shaman by any specific tribe or group. I still consider myself one, however, in terms of the healing and metaphysical work I do now. I'm gifted at techniques like shamanic extractions, soul retrieval, and shamanic journeying - the classic stuff of shamanism, with my own twist thrown in. Throughout our lives we come in contact with a lot of negative energies, miscreation programs, and sometimes very "inverse" or evil forces, and I have also learned how to help people expel those. Some of it gets into major "Jedi" warrior territory, actually!

Basically, I'm very independent and careful in how I seek knowledge. I encourage you to be, too! Never give your personal power away to any outside agency or authority figure.

Thanks very much for visiting this site! Sign up for my mailing list if you'd like to download Lesson One of my Money Materialization Course for free. Occasionally I will send you fun articles, affirmations success stories, and other material directly related to "mind over matter" or "power prayer."  This newsletter is meant to replace my former newsletter which I offered at my older Free-Daily-Affirmation.com site. That site hasn't been updated for a while, and this site will be my new home in cyberspace where I'll be teaching all things affirmations-related.

I promise never to spam you, and you can unsubscribe at any time from my list by using the "unsubscribe" link within each email.

Also, I keep a personal blog at: JenniferShepherd.com (featuring many photos of my mischievous cats!) and I have an art blog at ArtSansRaison.com. And I have created about 300 original pieces of artwork designed to help pretty up your sites if you are putting together your own website or blog at a different art site: HeaderGraphicGarden.com

Be sure to check back regularly to this site, too, where I'll be posting updates to my blog. Over time my blog will have lots of fun stories, case histories, research and spiritual insights about reality creation and affirmations!

Thanks again for visiting, and best wishes for you to experience greater abundance on every level.
