Affirmations for all Seven Chakras

For the past seven months in class, I have read these affirmations with the monthly chakra and then cumulatively month by month adding on the new ones during svasana (relaxation) when the mind and body are most receptive to absorb such good medicine.  Maybe you would like to read them each morning, use them with your meditation, or choose one of your favorites from each chakra and remember to say it when you need a boost or support in that realm of your consciousness during the day or night.  You could calligraphy, paint, or draw some of them and post them by your meditation cushion or around your house.  Or, record yourself reading them to play back during your own personal svasana or as you drift off to sleep at night (which is a really good time to set positive intentions for your dreams and contented rest).

What a gift it has been to dive deeply into each chakra and learn about our own personal navigational system, to learn how to assess these aspects of ourselves and take care from within so we can let our light shine all around us.


Self-Acceptance
by Danna Faulds

In the midst of difficulty,
my curiosity is piqued
and I aim the lance
of self-inquiry into the
center of my deepest fears.

I give myself permission
to feel exactly what I feel,
to be just as I am, and in
that self-acceptance I find
energy, awareness, and a
thousand gifts I never
guessed were with me
all along.


Here's to your bright light!  May you remember you have it, keep looking within to find it to the fullest, keep looking deeply into the others in your life to see their light too, and honor and celebrate that eternal divine light within and all around!
