The Power of
Conscious Affirmation
What is an affirmation?
An affirmation is every thought you think and every word you speak. With every thing you think and speak, whether it be to others, or more importantly yourself, you are affirming your life experiences and in turn, creating your own reality.
Everything begins with a word.
With each word you choose to speak, either out loud or silently, to yourself or to others, there is a vibration and sound that is carried. These word vibrations create the very reality that surrounds us each day. Words have the power to create or to destroy.
Famous philosopher Descartes once said, “I think therefore I am.”
Consider this. Our words or thoughts shapes our lives and impact what we manifest. They are confirmations of how we see others, our lives and ourselves, so choose your words wisely.
As a society, we have become accustomed to talking about our misfortunes and problems, complaining or speaking negatively without it even registering. When we think or speak negatively, those words reaffirm to our brain that the world is indeed a harsh and cruel place and thus, you subconsciously seek out opportunity to validate this belief to yourself. Consider, however, if you were to shift your thinking to instead focus on the positive, beautiful and delightful things and occurrences around you every day. Over time, you would retrain your brain to seek and to confirm positivity, instead of negativity. Your conscious and subconscious mind would work in your favor to shape a reality that is encouraging and loving. You begin to open up a world of possibilities where you can manifest the life of your dreams.
I AM.
Two of the most powerful words anyone can say to themselves.
“I am” affirms who you are, your dreams, your hopes and your successes. What follows after “I am…” defines who we are to ourselves and who we are to everyone around us. The words preceding “I am” become your truth and the reality you are creating for yourself regardless of whether or not there is any truth in the words you are saying.
“I” is your Soul. The very part of your being that is pure love and unchanging. You are not a person having a life experience, but rather, a soul, having a human experience.
“I am” brings you into alignment with the very highest part of yourself. So why not choose a higher expression for yourself?
Remind yourself of who you are and who you wish to be.

Food is
Medicine
Around the year 400 B.C., Hippocrates was ahead of his time when he advised humans to prevent and treat disease first and foremost by eating a nutrient-dense diet. The foods we eat every day play a critical role in supporting our health or our demise.
Food is extremely personal.
What is one person’s power is another person’s poison. Coined by the Institute for Integrative Nutrition®, bio-individuality™ is the idea that each of us has unique food and lifestyle needs. There is no one-size fits all diet and different food philosophies or ways of eating can have profoundly different results and impacts from one individual to the next. Nutrition is the only science that has opposing, yet accurate and verified outcomes.
With society’s increased focus on trend diets and ways of eating, it’s important to spend your time cultivating your own intuition, learning how to listen and trust your own body and using that as a guide to making food choices. It’s about adopting a flexible, integrative approach to nutrition.
The Second Brain.
The foods you choose to eat not only impact your physical body, but your mental and emotional body as well. Your gut, or microbiome, operates as your second brain, playing a very real and significant role in not only your cognitive functioning, but also your mood and emotional state. Recent studies also show the strength of the gut-brain connection and how the gastrointestinal tract is sensitive to emotions such as anger, anxiety, sadness and elation and vice versa.
- Eating at irregular intervals
- Cutting or skimping essential food groups
- Forgetting essential vitamins and minerals
- Not getting enough omega-3 fatty acids
- Eating too many processed foods
While diet is specific and individual to each person, we think it’s important to eat a diet filled with fresh, whole foods that are full of life and nourishment while eliminating or reducing processed, fake foods that are lacking in life force energy.

Move your
body.
While it’s known that your feelings can influence your movements, it’s only recently become known that your movements can impact your feelings as well. The connection between the brain and body is a two-way street, meaning that your movements can change your brain.
Additionally, for years, studies have shown the strong correlation between movement and longevity, in addition to reduction of stress and disease. Regular aerobic exercise reduces anxiety by making your body’s flight or fight system less reactive. Frequent and regular exercise can also help reduce depression by increasing a brain protein called BDNF, which helps nerve fibers grow. Other studies have shown that even single, 20-minute sessions of moderate exercise enhance motivation and focus.
We encourage you to find a style of movement and activity that you enjoy and best suite you and your lifestyle. Some ideas to get you started include:

The Practices of
Conscious Breath
Our breath is our life force energy. Without our breath we cease to exist. It’s the first thing we experience when we enter this world and the last thing that diminishes when our souls depart from our human vessel.
What is breathwork?
Breathwork is the term that describes the healing practice of consciously controlling one’s breath with the intention of influencing your mental, emotional and/or physical state.
- Activating the parasympathetic nervous system
- Slowing down your heart rate
- Lowering your blood pressure
- Relaxing the body, mind and spirit
- Reaching a deeper state of mind
- Slowing down racing thoughts
- Calming and focusing your mind
- Removing your ego
- Connecting to your true self
- Natural painkiller
- Improved blood flow
- Increased energy
- Better posture

Pranayama
Prana (controlling) yama (breath) is the practice of controlling your breath for positive effects. Controlling your breath allows you to move past or through emotional and energetic blockages that disrupt the flow of life force energy.
Holotropic
A practice often accompanied with intense music and led by an instructor. This practice involves inhaling and exhaling for the same amount of time at different speeds to induce an altered state of consciousness.
Rebirthing
A practice that involves using circular breathing, often lying mostly underwater to encourage a state of relaxation. The idea behind rebirthing breathwork is that it helps you release residual stress from birth or early life.
Below are some of our
favorite breathwork practices.
If you are pregnant, have high blood pressure, heart disease or a hernia, please consult your physician before adopting any of these practices.
Breath of Fire
(Kapalabahti)An energizing and mentally stimulating practice. The literal translation is “skull-shining breath.” It is a foundational breath technique used in Kundalini Yoga. Breath of Fire is rapid, rhythmic, continuous, but relaxed.
How to do it:Sit in a comfortable position where your spine is straight and your abdomen is not compressed.
Rest your hands on your knees, palms down, or place hands on your lower belly to heighten awareness.
Inhale through both nostrils deeply.
Contract your low belly, forcing out the breath in a short burst. You expel the air powerfully through the nose by pressing your belly button back towards your spine.
Quickly release the contraction; inhalation should be automatic and passive — focus on exhaling.
Begin slowly (65-70 contractions/min). Gradually quicken (95-105 cycles/min). Go at your own pace; stop if faint.
After one minute, inhale deeply through nostrils, exhale slowly through the mouth. Repeat based on experience.

Replenish the spirit.
Self-care is not a luxury; it is a necessity. When you take time to replenish your spirit, it allows you to serve others from the overflow. You cannot serve from an empty vessel.
Replenish
Yourself.
Self-care is any practice or anything you do to be good to yourself. It’s the act of being kind to yourself. It’s when you understand that your personal resources are running low so you pause and take time to replenish yourself with love, attention and care.
- Increased productivity
- Improved resistance to disease and immunity
