During one of the many classes my Guides have taught,
they shared this process. They guaranteed that if a
person does this practice three times a day for one
month, it will permanently change them for the better.
This process was taught to us while I was going
through the pain of a major separation,
and it helped me greatly to have much better
self-esteem than I ever imagined I could have at
the time.
The process:
Sit comfortably with your eyes closed,
and your hands placed gently and
caringly over your heart.
Direct your attention to where your
hands are, so that your
awareness decends to that area.
Then tell yourself:
"I am _________
filling in the blank
with a virtue.
It can be a virtue that you've always
had, or a virtue that you've
been working hard to embody
and are only about halfway there.
For example, you might say,
"I am patient."
You then open your heart
and receive the truth
of your statement.
Then you say it again,
"I am. I am patient"
opening your heart
even more to the truth
of this statement.
Finally you say it
one more time
"I am patient"
and completely
receive it.
Then you pick
a second virtue,
and repeat it
3 times as you
did above.
And finally do the
same with a
third virture.
When you're done
you realize that
you've given yourself
a wonderful gift.
And an affirmation
that is deeper than
just repeating words
over and over.
