Prayer. Affirmations. Meditation.
Hey guys! Welcome back to my blog. From my previous post, "Imagine your higher self...", I stated that I will do a separate blog post on ways you can improve your life and your mental health and these include prayer, affirmations and meditation.
Prayer.
God speaks to us everyday in many different ways. I find this method helpful as I am speaking to a higher power about my pain, worries and the future. It allows me to gather myself and my thoughts as it allows me to let go of anything that hinders me from reaching my full potential. I am able to visualize my higher self as I speak to God thanking him for his greatness and all he has done for me and yet to do. I feel so at peace.
I learnt a new way of praying and if it doesn't appeal to you or work for you then that's totally okay. I got this from a book I am currently reading - you need to thank God instead of asking. Don't supplicate but appreciate. Thank God in advance for the things you want in your life. This means you acknowledge God's capability and greatness rather than doubt him. For example, instead of saying, "God, can I please have my dream car" you should say, "God, thank you for my dream car" or "God, I declare...". It is more powerful when you feel and think you already have it rather than feel like you don't. If you need more clarity on this, email me on talkswithtarii@gmail.com.
Affirmations.
If you're not one that prays, affirmations are helpful and effective too. You are basically declaring good things, goals and dreams, and speaking them into existence. What you do is, write down as many affirmations that speak to you including your goals. You can either just say them in your head or read them aloud. I do this every morning when I meditate. By doing this, it keeps your mind positive as well your aura because you are attracting positive energies. A few of my affirmations include: I am Beautiful. I am Unique. I am Resilient. I am Creative. I am Blessed. I am loved. The list goes on - it is very important that you say them in present tense. Remember, Imagine your higher self and show up as her/him. So, what you affirm happens now. Not "I will be creative" or "I will be happy". You need to say it as if you are those things right now. "I am successful" and you will feel a shift and notice a change.
It really doesn't matter when you say these affirmations. It can be in the morning when you're getting ready for school/work, when you meditate, during the day when your mind wonders off or before you sleep. Say these affirmations and mean every word. You become what you say you want to become, what you think and what you attract.
Meditation.
See, when it comes to meditation, it varies from one person to another because what I might find peace in will be totally different to what brings you peace. What matters is that you are comfortable and feel good when doing it. You need to clear your head - creating your own 'Utopia'. This is how my meditation routine looks like:
I wake up at 06:00 am and walk barefoot on the wet grass as morning dew is healthy and has healing properties
I sit cross legged on a blanket or yoga mat facing the sun
I first listen to nature sounds from my phone and say my affirmations then sit in silence taking in my surroundings
I then listen to music which is calm and continue to take in my surroundings
I do a couple of stretches - you can do yoga and your daily workouts if you work out
When I'm done, I have some water or tea then you can go on with your day. I do this every morning for about 30 minutes or more - it really depends on you for how long you want to do it
Like I said, meditation techniques differs as long as you are comfortable, feel free and at peace. Another method, which I am yet to try myself, is getting a clear glass bottle and fill it up with water. Hold the bottle with both your hands and say your affirmations to the bottle. Direct all good and positive energies to it then drink the water through out the day. Water is pure and you can charge it with energies.
Thank you for tuning in and don't forget to subscribe!
(P.S: remember to always drink water. Trust me, it does wonders to your skin ;)
