 Hello, earth citizens. In this video, I will show you a 10 minute routine for ingraining affirmations into your body. So affirmations have become a very popular thing that people who practice meditation or mindfulness want to incorporate in their lives because affirmation literally is about rewiring your brain to believe positive things about yourself that counteract the negative things that you believe about yourself. So for example, if you feel like you're sick and weak all the time and affirmation that would counterbalance that is telling yourself, I am strong and healthy. Until your brain truly believes that you are strong and healthy. So it creates cells of strength and health to combat the negative feelings that you have inside. So I'm gonna take affirmations a step further because most people practice them just sitting down and talking to themselves. I am healthy. I am peace. I am love. But when you do that, it kind of just stays in your head and it's very hard for it to settle deeply into your bones and cells. So when you add an element of stimulating your body as you practice the affirmations, it's like with every stimulation I'm gonna do tapping your body. With every tap, it's like you're literally printing that information into each and every single one of your cells. So that you can change the negative information in your body into positive. Now if that's a lot of information, it's confusing. Don't worry. I will guide you through this routine. How to do the affirmations as you move your body and imagine it going into your cells. Are you ready? So first, sit in a comfortable position. You can either sit in half lotus like me on the floor or if this is uncomfortable, feel free to sit in a chair with your feet firmly planted on the ground. So now floating up like this firmly planted on the ground. Straighten your spine. Tuck your chin slightly inward. Close your eyes. And let's first connect with our mind and body. Feel your breathing and imagine a space deep inside of your body and think of the negative beliefs, emotions, or states of being inside that you want to reverse. It can be things like I have a lot of fear. I want to be more courageous or I have a lot of anger. I want to feel joy. I have a lot of sadness. I want to be happy. Whatever it is for you, think of a couple things, three things that you have inside. So just be aware of what it is that you want to change in yourself and now open your eyes. So today I will guide you to do affirmations for your physical body, energy body, and spiritual body. So if there are certain affirmations that resonate more with you, please feel free to do them as we do the tapping. But if you couldn't think of anything, feel free to follow along with what I do. So first make a four with your hands. Roll your fists around your finger and with the pinky side of your fists tap your lower abdomen. Two inches below your navel and two inches inside. Tap here. And tap deeply into your body as if you're banging on some drums, relaxing your shoulders. If you feel tension, you can even shake your head side to side. First, get into the groove of tapping your body. And now if you haven't done so already, please close your eyes. Close your eyes and feel the stimulation of your lower abdomen and your fists. And now we will practice the affirmation of I am strong. I am healthy. The lower abdomen is the powerhouse of your body that you draw energy from. So into that space, we will imprint the information of I am strong. I am healthy. If you are in a place where you can say these things out loud, I recommend saying them out loud. If not, at least just say them in your mind over and over again. I am strong. I am healthy. I am strong. I am healthy. I am strong. I am healthy. Please say them out loud with confidence. I am strong. I am healthy. I am strong. I am healthy. I am strong. I am healthy. I am strong. I am healthy. As you say these words, imagine these words existing in your fists and you're printing them into the cells of your lower abdomen. Every tap is printing in those words literally, I am strong, I am healthy into your core. I am strong, I am healthy. I am strong, I am healthy. I am strong, I am healthy. I am strong, I am healthy. Keep going, keep saying I am strong, I am healthy. All of your cells are receiving the information of you are strong, you are healthy. So we're almost done here, last few times I am strong, I am healthy. With confidence I am strong, I am healthy. I am strong, I am healthy. One last time, I am strong, I am healthy. Great job. Now let's move to your heart. Use your fingertips, relax your wrist and tap into your chest. So not just tapping the surface, but tapping through your ribcage into your heart and lungs. In the middle right where your sternum is. You'll feel some tenderness or tension. Now get familiar with the tapping for a little bit. You can close your eyes to focus on your body better. And now we will say the affirmations, I am worthy, I deserve love. I am worthy, I deserve love. Position your fingers, shooting this information into your heart to break up all the trauma, break up all the hurt, all the pain, all the suffering that you've held deep inside of your heart. Breaking it up with your words, I am worthy, I deserve love. No matter what you believed in the past, that is not true. Now you can change the information. I am worthy, I deserve love. I am worthy, I deserve love. Feel those words deeply into your chest. And keep saying it to yourself, I am worthy, I deserve love. I am worthy, I deserve love. I am worthy, I deserve love. I am worthy, I deserve love. I am worthy, I deserve love. Keep saying this to your heart. All of your beliefs that go against that are breaking up and melting off of your body. And the cells of your heart and soul are now transforming into the information of I am worthy, I deserve love. When you embody these words, I am worthy, I deserve love. You will receive the love that you deserve and you will receive the love that you've always wanted. A few more times here, I am worthy, I deserve love. Two more times, I am worthy, I deserve love. Last time, I am worthy, I deserve love and stop. Now we'll go to your brain. Use your finger, same thing, relax your wrist and tap your brain like this and you wanna tap all over your brain. So the front of your head, side, back of your head, where your skull meets your neck, all over as if with your fingers, you are breaking up tension in your brain. So let's get familiar with this tapping. With the tension, please exhale out. Don't hold it in, exhale out. And now we will see the affirmation of, I am smart, I have a positive brain. I am smart, I have a positive brain. If there's anything inside of you that believes you are dumb, that you are stupid and that you have negative thoughts, imagine with your fingers breaking it all up like an ice pick, breaking it up and using the affirmations, I am smart, I have a positive brain. Close your eyes, I am smart, I have a positive brain. Imprint that information into all of your neurons as you tap, each tap puts that information into every neuron of your brain. I am smart, I have a positive brain. I am smart, I have a positive brain. I am smart, I have a positive brain. I am smart, I have a positive brain. I am smart, I have a positive brain. I am smart, I have a positive brain. And now to make this more powerful, create a smile on your face. I am smart, I have a positive brain. I am smart, I have a positive brain. A few more times, I am smart, I have a positive brain. I am smart, I have a positive brain. Last time, I am smart, I have a positive brain. Great job. Now sweep down your head, your chest, arms, you can stretch out your legs and sweep down your legs too, sweep your whole body. How do you feel? Could you feel positive information being imprinted into your energy centers? You did a great job. Keep practicing this every single day and you will believe more and more and more the positive affirmations that you are saying to yourself. It might feel awkward now, but the more you practice, the more your brain will believe what you say.
