daily affirmation + mantra practice

Anytime I work with clients individually or in a large setting, I always emphasize the importance of creating the mind body connection. One way that I bring awareness to this connection during practice, is by using affirmations or mantras to create a focus and allow the entire person to be present in that moment. Very often this practice can be an awakening. Emotions, feelings and even symptoms can shift when we begin to either silently tell ourselves these phrases, write them down or say them out loud.

Use these as prompts, and lean into whatever resonates for you in your journey. Use them when and where you desire. I often will say one during my morning breath practice and sometimes in the carpool line for school. They are a tool in your toolbox that you have access to anytime.

I’ve separated them out based on various seasons of life. This is not an extensive list, but just a sprinkling of ideas to get you going.
