Great afternoon, my Lovelies!
My shadow work journey has carried me toward many tools. I’ve gotten into resources, met people, and experienced a plethora of traumas, joys. Literally, I’ve run the gamut of experiences and gained numerous insights. Some of the practices that stuck with me I feel compelled to share in the interest of both transparency and to encourage deeper self-education/application. I guess the next part of my healing journey is allowing myself to be seen… as both healer and healing. That being said, a large part of my daily spiritual practice for 2019 was affirmations and mantras. Using them has made facing my fears, handling failures, and transcending obstacles much easier, boosting my confidence as a result.
When you’re healing from trauma, addressing limiting beliefs, or learning grounding and meditation, I found it helps to have a root to grasp ahold of to bring you back down to earth when you feel as if you’ve regressed. (You haven’t. Healing is an upward spiral, I promise 🙂 ) We all both want and need some practice that is simple enough to do anywhere that works at multiple levels, consciously (calming), subconsciously (reprogramming), and vibrationally (grounding).
Because, I’m all things Astreaux 😉 I have written the daily mantras that I use below to coincide with the days of the week & their planetary correspondences. Anyone interested is welcome to use them or create your own.
