The purpose of affirmations is to reprogram your subconscious mind, replacing negative thoughts and beliefs with positive ones.

How to Use Affirmations for Confidence

To use affirmations effectively for increasing confidence, it’s important to choose ones that resonate with you and feel believable. Start with short, simple affirmations, and repeat them to yourself several times a day, either out loud or in your mind. You can also write them down and post them in a place where you will see them regularly, such as on your fridge or bathroom mirror.

Close your eyes and take a few deep breaths, allowing yourself to relax and settle into the present moment. Bring your attention to the tree in front of you, or to the image or drawing of a tree if you are using one.

Allow yourself to fully observe the tree, taking in its shape, texture, and any other details that catch your attention. You can also focus on the tree’s roots, visualizing them grounding you to the present moment and the earth below.

If your mind wanders, gently bring your attention back to the tree. You can continue to focus on the tree for as long as you like, allowing yourself to fully sink into a state of relaxation and presence.

Open your Heart + Guided Meditation

February 14th, 2023
Valentine’s season can be a time of opening up to love of all kinds. Self-love, love for others, or even just opening up to the idea of letting love into your life may be your goal.

If you wish to open up to love I would recommend reflecting on the nature of love and your relationship with it. Some questions you can ask yourself are:
- Do I show myself and others love?
- In what ways do I like to show love?
- Do I let love into my life?
- When do I feel the most loved?
Subscribe here!

The heart chakra, or Anahata, is located in the center of the chest and is associated with love, compassion, and connection. When this energy center is open and balanced, we feel a sense of love and acceptance for ourselves and others. However, when it is closed or blocked, we may feel disconnected, lonely, and unhappy.

In this meditation, we will focus on opening and balancing the heart chakra to help you tap into your natural capacity for love and compassion. Through the use of visualization, affirmations, and breathwork, you will be guided on a journey to connect with your heart and cultivate a sense of inner peace and joy.

To get the most out of this meditation, find a quiet, comfortable place to sit or lie down and have a journal and pen nearby to write down any insights or emotions that come up for you. Remember to keep an open mind and let go of any expectations or judgment.

I hope this meditation serves as a powerful tool for you to connect with your heart and bring more love and joy into your life.

Creating the Life of your Dreams and Preventing Burnout

February 8th, 2023

Have you ever felt the need to make BIG changes in your life?

You might feel so excited and ready for change that you are ready to hit the ground running into your new life– and you want to do it right now. You may have tried this before only to get burned out some time after making big changes.

As a highly sensitive person myself, I understand what it’s like to envision the life of your dreams. It can be easy to feel overwhelmed at how your life is now and want to run away from your current life, but it’s important to recognize that escaping and starting over is not a sustainable solution to creating the life of your dreams.

You are the center of your world. It is essential to make choices that align with your nervous system. Your sensitive nature has the ability to help you figure out what decisions are right for you at this time. Making drastic changes all at once can be overwhelming and even harmful to your well-being. That’s why it’s important to make small, conscious decisions over time that will eventually lead to a transformation into the life you have always dreamed of.

Real change happens in the physical world, not just in the virtual world. It can be easy to sit back and look at social media and read content about the things that you want. Maybe you expect the virtual world to become reality as you sit behind a screen trying to make this your life. It is essential to make tangible, physical changes in your life that will enable you to meet your dreams and goals in a sustainable way.

Real life happens in the real world. You will feel better making tangible changes in your lifestyle routine, not by just imagining the life of your dreams behind a screen. Interacting with people face-to-face in real time will help you to make these changes. Also incorporating more self-care practices, setting boundaries, and making time for the things that bring you joy will ensure real change can be made towards your dreams.

Yoga can be an effective tool in this process. By connecting with your breath, body, and mind, you can learn to listen to your nervous system and make decisions that are in alignment with your well-being. Yoga can also help you to manage stress and release tension, which is especially important for highly sensitive individuals who are prone to burnout.

It’s important to remember that transforming your life can’t happen overnight. It takes time, patience, and consistency. By focusing on small changes and taking a holistic approach, you can empower yourself to transform your life in a way that works for you.

Tap into your Intuition: Third-Eye Chakra Affirmations

February 1st, 2023
The Third-Eye Chakra is probably one of the most well-known chakras. I see people on the internet all the time trying to open their third-eye or wanting to get deeper into meditation to tap into it. The third eye chakra is the center of intuition and perception– it’s about seeing with clarity.

See with clarity.
Third-Eye Chakra Affirmation Video

How do I open my third eye chakra?

The truth is, your third-eye chakra has been working for you ever since you were little. It knows when there’s something wrong in a situation. It knows how to tell you when something seems off. It allows you to step into someone else’s shoes and take their perspective. So, knowing that your intuition has been here all along still raises the question, how do I tap into my third eye intentionally?

Use your Intuition

Affirmations are a great way to tap into this energy center. Especially for those who have tried meditation before, and it hasn’t seemed to be working. Affirming that you are connected to your intuition, and that you trust in the natural process of it opening will allow yourself to feel your connection to this center.

Allow yourself to visualize. You can visualize anything– an object, a person, or even your past. What do you want your future to look like? What do you see yourself doing? Are you perceiving things clearly?

The act of self-reflection and repeating affirmations will bring clarity to this chakra.

What is Grounding?

Grounding happens when we connect with the earth and nature. Doing this can help relieve stress and can enhance your connection to your circadian rhythm.

It is when your body is in tune with nature in terms of digestion, and mentally connecting with the natural world around you. We all have felt grounding during quiet moments outside or while connecting with animals and plants.

Throat Chakra Affirmations for Speaking Your Truth

January 18th, 2023
The throat chakra is the center we speak from. It is the center of sound, so saying affirmations out loud benefits this chakra in a tangible way. The throat is also about communication, speaking your truth. A clear throat chakra is one where we can speak our truth and communicate clearly. It’s the outward appearance and expression of the chakras beneath it.

Communication is key.
Throat Chakra Affirmation Video

Speak your Truth

The Throat Chakra is such a beautiful space of sound and light. Your voice is the music you make naturally. A healthy throat chakra is about the song and dance of communication you have with other people. The voices chiming in at different times are like a song, and an open throat chakra helps us to harmonize with others.

Throat chakra affirmations can assist in helping you to clarify your message for the world to hear. It encourages you to speak up, or to stay quiet and listen at appropriate times. This is also a very social center, reflecting the inner workings of the sacral chakra.

Communication is key to relationships and focusing on this chakra is central to maintaining healthy relationships in your life.
