I sit quietly.
I adjust my posture so I feel comfortable. I allow myself to grow calm. I breathe slowly and evenly. I draw a slightly deeper breath than usual, a very easy, relaxing breath. I follow my calm, even breathing for a moment. My thoughts grow quieter as I do this. I release any energies I do not want I send them out to the Universe to be transformed into light. I put down all burdens that are not mine to carry. I call back to myself any of my energy I have left scattered out in the Universe. I am growing more confident, secure, happy, and aware of my inner being. My thoughts are positive. My feelings are peaceful. I call my soul to me. I feel its loving presence all around me. It fills my heart with love and forgiveness. It releases past hurts. My thoughts are growing more loving. I feel peaceful. I know my thoughts and feelings create my reality. I realize that the more loving, joyful, and peaceful I feel, the more wonderful a future I can create for myself. I deepen the state of peace I feel right now. I allow joyful thoughts and emotions to flow through me. It is as if a ray of light is coming into my mind and a note of joy is being played throughout me. I see new paths and options. I am filling up with courage and confidence. I trust myself to make good decisions and to create a good future for myself. I know when I feel this way my thoughts and feelings are positive and draw good things to me. I picture something I want. I think of a thought I have had that tells me I cannot have this. I change this thought into a thought that tells me I CAN have this. This becomes my constant thought and affirmation every time I think of this area of my life. I watch my thoughts. Anytime I have a thought of something I do not want, I change it into a thought of what I DO want. I feel the good feelings I will have when this comes into my life. I love my negative thoughts and feelings. They are like small children who do not know any better. I replace them with positive thoughts and feelings. I think of something I do not want. I love this thought; I do not make it wrong. I know this thought needs my love and for me to teach it a higher way. I put light around this thought of what I do not want. I imagine this outcome or event dissolving into the light. I now imagine what I WANT in this area of my life. I show my thoughts a new way to be in this area of my life. I see myself receiving what I want or something even better. I trust that the universe is friendly and that it is always working for and with me. My thoughts are positive and they are creating a wonderful life for me and for others I am around. I think of a positive affirmation for myself today. I say it over and over, knowing that as I think and affirm, my thoughts are creating my new reality. ~Orin&DaBen {photo: emilygreen.bigcartel.com}

When we feel overwhelmed and under pressure, or like there is too much to do and too much on our plate, our tendency is to speed up. Our breathing speeds up, our thinking speeds up, and our movement speed up. We disconnect from the flow and our natural rhythm, and we start to push and work harder. We do more than one thing at once, push through our to do list, and rush from place to place, all in an attempt to keep up. But without realising, all we are doing is making it worse. Our bodies become tense, our breathing becomes shallow, our minds become foggy and clouded with a million conflicting thoughts, and our energy system becomes drained and depleted. I personally found myself experiencing this exact feeling only a few days ago, after putting way too much on my plate, saying way too many yes’s, and over-committing myself. I woke up in a state of complete panic, barely breathing, totally overwhelmed and trying to do everything at a million miles an hour. I was reacting from a state of fear to the growing list of demands, and the little time I had to complete it all. I’ll be honest, it swept me up for a while. But after a few hours of craziness, I finally caught myself out. I paused, took a deep breath and made a choice that changed everything. Rather than speeding up, I decided to slow down. I closed the blinds, rolled out my yoga mat, put on some gentle music, lit some white sage and began to stretch into my body. My mind fought with me initially, but gradually I felt myself soften. My breathing began to deepen. My body let go. My mind slowed. And I found inner space. Everything suddenly seemed more simple and clear. The problems that seemed huge an hour ago, now seemed much smaller. And as I sat and breathed deeply, I began to hear my inner wisdom whisper. Clarity, guidance, insight and answers flowed through. A feeling of calmness, support and love washed over me. I journaled out new realisations, new steps to take, the decisions I needed to make, all of which suddenly felt easy. And with this re-connection to my inner self and my loving guidance, I felt ready to step back into my day, feeling inspired, grounded and focused. This experience inspired me to come onto the podcast and share with you some powerful principles and tools that will support you break out of the hypnotic trance of hustle and doing, and instead shift into ease, flow and peace. ~Connie Chapman |
