Hello,
0:03
welcome
0:06
to this piece.
0:09
I am from Bio Dolin
0:12
and we are looking at
0:16
at affirmation.
0:19
We have been dwelling on affirmation
0:22
for the past days.
0:26
Today we're going to be focusing on
0:29
affirmation for growth, healing, and
0:33
inner strength.
0:39
Today
0:41
we continue our journey of understanding
0:44
the quiet power of the word we speak to
0:47
ourselves
0:50
every day, whether we realize it or
0:53
[music] not.
0:56
We are engaged in an ongoing
0:59
conversation within [music]
1:01
our own minds.
1:05
Sometimes
1:07
those [music] words encourages us.
1:14
Sometimes
1:15
those words limit us.
1:20
Sometimes those words
1:26
cause us [music] to become stuck.
1:31
Many people move through life carrying
1:34
[music]
1:34
invisible sentences inside them.
1:39
Sentences formed by past experiences,
1:42
[music]
1:44
disappointment
1:45
or painful moments.
1:50
sentences [music] like
1:53
I am not strong enough,
1:56
[music]
1:59
I cannot change.
2:06
Things will always remain the same.
2:07
[music]
2:11
But the mind is not fixed.
2:14
The brain is capable of learning,
2:18
adapting and forming new pathways
2:21
throughout life. [music]
2:25
This is what is called
2:29
[music] brain plasticity.
2:35
The brain has the ability to grow.
2:40
The brain has the capacity to change
2:43
again.
2:45
Do not allow those thought pattern to
2:49
limit you again in life. [music]
2:57
You have just one little thing to do.
3:00
[music]
3:03
When we introduce [music] affirmations
3:05
into our daily practice, we begin to
3:09
gently reshape the emotional landscape
3:12
of our inner world.
3:16
Before we continue, [music]
3:19
take a slow deep breath in
3:23
and gently release it. [music]
3:29
Take another one, [music] gently release
3:32
it.
3:36
Take it a third time
3:39
and gently release it. [music]
3:45
Allow
3:47
your entire [music] body to soften.
3:51
Allow your body to [music] relax.
3:55
Allow your mind to become quiet
4:02
as you take in another slow
4:07
long breath in.
4:15
Hold.
4:17
Now release.
4:22
Let me share a simple story with you.
4:27
I learned
4:29
about this story from one of my
4:32
professors.
4:35
There was once a man who carried a small
4:39
stone in his [music] pocket.
4:43
Every time something difficult happened
4:46
during the day, [snorts] he would take
4:48
the stone out and hold it tightly.
4:54
He believe
4:56
the stone reminded him of all the
4:59
problems he carried in life. [snorts]
5:05
One day a friend noticed this habit and
5:09
asked him why he always carried the
5:13
stone.
5:15
The man explained that it helped him
5:18
remember how heavy life felt.
5:23
[music]
5:25
His friend listened carefully and then
5:28
asked a gentle question.
5:33
What will happen if you replace that
5:36
stone with something lighter?
5:41
[music] The man laughed at first,
5:45
but the question stayed with him.
5:49
The next day, instead of the stone, he
5:52
placed a small leaf in his pocket.
5:58
Whenever he touched the leaf during the
6:01
day, [music] he reminded himself of
6:04
something different.
6:08
[music] That even though life had
6:11
difficulties, he also [music]
6:14
had moments of growth,
6:17
moments of beauty, moments of renewal.
6:22
Slowly
6:26
his perspective began to [music] shift.
6:31
The problems in his life did not
6:33
disappear overnight. [music]
6:37
But the way he carried them began to
6:39
change.
6:43
Affirmations work in a similar [music]
6:46
way.
6:49
They do not erase [music] life's
6:51
challenges,
6:54
but they help us carry those challenges
6:57
differently.
7:00
They remind us that growth is possible,
7:02
[music]
7:04
healing is possible,
7:07
and change is always unfolding.
7:12
[music]
7:16
Let us uh do this
7:19
grounding
7:22
by taking this breathing [music]
7:23
exercise together.
7:29
[music]
7:30
Stay yourself. Close your eyes and let
7:33
your feet be flat on the floor.
7:38
Take a slow deep [music] breath in.
7:45
Allow the air to fill your lungs.
7:50
Slowly breathe out. [music]
7:55
Pick another one.
7:59
Allow [music] the air to fill your
8:00
lungs.
8:04
Slowly breathe out.
8:08
Release any [music] tension you may be
8:10
holding.
8:12
from your shoulders,
8:15
[music]
8:17
your face,
8:19
your jaw,
8:22
your upper back, your lower back,
8:25
your stomach, [music] your hips, your
8:29
knees,
8:31
your ankle, the soles of your feet, the
8:34
[music] tips of your toes.
8:38
Again
8:41
take
8:42
[music]
8:43
slow
8:45
breath in
8:47
[music]
8:49
and slowly release it.
8:55
Allow your entire body to soften more
9:00
and more. [music]
9:06
Imagine
9:09
allowing your [music] mind to become
9:11
open and receptive
9:16
by looking inwards
9:18
at the heart area.
9:23
Imagine that portion
9:26
glowing like a twinkle light. [music]
9:30
Imagine it increasing in size,
9:35
expanding
9:37
and becoming bigger.
9:41
Imagine the light
9:44
moving to the upper part of your body.
9:49
Imagine
9:52
this light moves
9:54
downward
9:58
to your stomach, your lower abdomen,
10:01
your lower waist, your lower back, your
10:04
hip, your laps, your knees,
10:09
your ankles, the soles of your feet,
10:13
your toes.
10:15
Imagine your entire system filled with
10:18
this light.
10:26
Now let's get into the practical aspect
10:31
of the work.
10:35
Now
10:36
allow the affirmations to gently enter
10:39
your awareness.
10:42
Take your time. Let each statement
10:46
settle within you.
10:49
Pause after each one.
10:53
Now place your right palm
10:56
on your heart area. Feel the warmth.
11:00
Feel the love.
11:03
Feel the ease
11:06
that is coming from this area.
11:10
[music] Now repeat this after me.
11:14
I am capable of growth.
11:24
Every day I [music] learn something new
11:26
about myself.
11:36
I allow healing to unfold at its [music]
11:40
own pace.
11:48
I [music] am stronger than my fears.
11:59
I trust my my ability to face life's
12:04
challenges.
12:10
>> [music]
12:10
>> I welcome new possibilities into my
12:14
life.
12:16
[music]
12:22
My mind is open to change.
12:26
[music]
12:31
I release the belief that I am stuck.
12:37
>> [music]
12:40
>> I give myself permission to grow.
12:47
[music] I treat myself with patience
12:51
and understanding.
12:59
I allow my past to become [music] a
13:03
source of wisdom.
13:11
I move forward with courage.
13:19
[music]
13:21
Take a slow deep breath.
13:26
[music]
13:32
[music] Take another one.
13:36
>> [music]
13:41
>> Take it [music] a third time.
13:45
[music]
13:49
Allow these words to gently [music]
13:51
settle in your mind and body.
13:56
[music]
13:59
Now take a moment to [music] reflect
14:05
on this question.
14:08
What beliefs about myself [music]
14:16
that is not
14:19
encouraging me?
14:30
What beliefs about yourself
14:34
you have been carrying for many years?
14:41
Are those beliefs helping you grow
14:47
or are they quietly holding you back?
14:55
Sometimes transformation begins when we
14:58
allow ourselves to question the stories
15:01
we have been repeating.
15:03
And sometimes transformation begins when
15:06
we introduce a new sentence.
15:11
[snorts] A new sentence that supports
15:12
healing.
15:14
A new sentence that supports
15:16
possibility.
15:18
A new sentence that supports growth.
15:23
Place your hand
15:26
once more gently over your heart.
15:31
Take a slow deep breath in
15:36
and gently release it.
15:40
Now repeat these words quietly.
15:44
Repeat after me.
15:48
I am growing.
15:54
I am learning.
16:00
I am becoming stronger each day.
16:10
Carry these words with you as you move
16:13
through your day.
16:16
Remember that growth is not always too
16:20
loud [music]
16:22
or too dramatic.
16:26
Often it happens quietly
16:30
in the same small moments when we choose
16:33
patience, compassion and hope.
16:43
Remember to always take [music] one
16:46
affirmation with you
16:49
for the day
16:52
and for the week and gradually you build
16:56
your [music] folder of affirmations that
17:00
personally resonate [music] with you.
17:04
Thank you for taking this moment to
17:06
pause and reflect.
17:12
Until [music] next time, continue
17:14
speaking to yourself with kindness and
17:18
courage.
17:20
[music]
17:21
I love the fact that you are taking
17:24
small steps towards
17:26
your journey [music]
17:28
of selfdevelopment.
17:31
I love you and keep trusting [music] in
17:36
your abilities.
17:38
Thank you.
