June 29, Positive Affirmation for Joy
"I integrate joy into my life with every breath I breathe."
… Greetings! Our theme is Joy at DailyAffirm, http://www.DailyAffirm.com. These last days of the month we work with integrating and embodying joy. Following today’s affirmation are comments about the affirmation and suggestions for your process. See top tabs and navigation bar links for more information and resources.
About Today’s Affirmation
Your breath is always with you. And you take many breaths each day. One in, paired with one out. Followed by another breath in and out. Some breaths may be shallow; others, deep. Some breaths may be relaxed; others, strained. When you embrace the idea of this wonderful affirmation, you use your breath to integrate and embody joy. In my guided meditations I often say, "breathe in light and breathe out anything unlike the light." And I say many other variations, for example, "breathe in joy, breathe out non-joy." Breathe in what you desire to feel, breathe out what you do not need or desire. Every breath gives you an opportunity to embody joy.
About Your Process
Do you have two minutes? Just two. Good. Take a long, deep breath that clears you with the out-breath and opens you with the in-breath. Very good. Now relax. Slow down. Identify one situation or project or relationship — something that you have been focusing on this month. Close your eyes for a few seconds if that helps you to identify a relevant subject. Continue to breathe deeply. Breathe light into this subject; breathe out heaviness. Breathe in joy; breathe out non-joy. Continue to relax and integrate joy and embody light. When your two minutes have passed, congratulate yourself for receiving this gift of joyful relaxation.
