Conscious Breathwork & Affirmations.

[Guest guest]

If you are struggling with affirmations it may be that you are doing

them in times of desperation or stress. Very simply we either come

from a place of love or a place of fear. When we come from a place

of fear (i.e think we are going to lose a relationship) we never

make good decisions. However, when we come from a place of love our

choices are healthy and always have the best outcome for all

concerned.

Just notice as you read this how you are sitting and breathing. Are

your stomach muscles relaxed? It is amazing how we restrict our

breath although it is fundamental to us. When we are stressed or

fearful our breathing changes. Sometimes when we are under constant

stress from work or other sources we fail to notice what is going on

with our bodies. Bearing this in mind, next time you decide to try

using positive affirmations take a few minutes to sit comfortably in

a chair, turn off the phone and focus on your breath. Breathe fully

and deeply and as you start to relax and your mind quietens down

then drop in some positive affirmations like " everything is working

out perfectly " or " I am loved and I am safe " to help yopur body

relax.

I find that singing positive affirmations (yes I know that sounds

whacky) really helps. I have produced a CD of chants (affirmations)

and guided meditations for use in my workshops and you can hear a

sample if you visit the url below.
