Affirmation – Sept 6, 2022
Today I become a witness to my emotions and notice moments when I lose my peace. Rather than react I choose to take a conscious breath and infuse the moment with peace. I offer that peace with any required response.

Use Affirmation for Transformation
Consider taking a moment after your meditation session to affirm an intention for the day or week. Call forth circumstances that support prosperity or fulfillment of your goals or simply acknowledge a spiritual quality that you wish to bring more fully into expression.

With faith, go forward into your life anticipating signs of change.

Daily meditation practice provides a glimpse behind ordinary thought processes, where restless or dull mental states can be dominant. If we sit long enough to allow the mind to become still, we witness the transient nature of thoughts and emotions and experience the luminous state beyond thought activity. This experience, when repeated regularly, transforms us.

It is entirely possible to change our minds intellectually and our brains physiologically through meditation. Studies have proven that, due to the inherent malleability of the brain repeated experiences of meditation (profound internal focus) can result in rewiring the brain’s neurons. The brain can be reconditioned to change unwanted behaviors, increase empathy, reduce reactivity, improve memory, and much more.

Meditation offers advantages for our emotional life as well. With improved brain function and resting of the sympathetic nervous system we are better able to respond to life situations with poise, clarity, and compassion. The act of meditation itself trains us to be nonreactive (to thoughts) and exposes us to the inborn, anxiety-free state that is ever within us. One breath can reconnect us with our peace and each out breath can be an offering of peace to the world.
