Wellness means taking care of your life because you love being alive, not because you don’t want to be sick. If you want to do more than survive, use these mantras for healing. They’ll help you take care of yourself because you love how that feels.
Use these three mantras for healing your mind, body, and soul, all together. You might start or stick with one if it feels like a better entry point for you right now.
Whichever mantra is your favorite, use it every day, like you’re telling yourself what you most need to hear. So you can feel, and heal, better.
1. “I forgive you.”
This is a mantra for the mind…
My mind is a space where thoughts come and go. I let them come and go without holding too tightly. I can have beliefs and desires and know that, ultimately, I’m more than anything I could ever imagine.
I say, “I forgive you” to the thoughts themselves for having ever made me feel anything less than loved and loving. I forgive myself for holding on to what hurts and for believing in what denies my own worth.
To forgive is to believe that the future can be better than the past, and that the present is where it all starts.
2. “I am grateful.”
This is a mantra for the body…
My being here is the greatest miracle of all. The fact that I’m alive right now, on earth as I am, with people I love around me… this is a gift. And I am grateful for it.
My cells respond to everything I tell them. Today I tell them loving thoughts, helpful thoughts, grateful thoughts. My body responds with healing.
“The rhythm of the body, the melody of the mind and the harmony of the soul create the symphony of life.” – B.K.S. Iyengar
3. “I am healing.”
This is a mantra for the soul…
Not only am I in the process of healing, but I AM the healing. I visualize the healing that’s happening inside of me. I embrace it. I embody it. I become it, and I clear the path ahead for more healing, from the inside out.
