Before we begin,
We'll have ourselves a quick blessing.
May our love of learning be a sacred fire,
One that fuels devotion,
Nurtures patience,
And brings forth delight into each new lesson.
May we be guided not just by our questions,
But by the steady joy of understanding more deeply.
May we learn with humility and pause to let wisdom sink into our bones.
May our knowledge transform into compassion,
And our growth ripple outward to touch the world.
And may our learning be not merely about what we know,
But about who we are becoming.
I will read each statement twice,
Pausing in between to give you a chance to repeat them out loud to yourself,
And I do recommend saying them out loud.
The statements that are easy to embrace,
Savor them,
Appreciate them,
Stand like a mountain in their truth.
The statements that feel not so good,
That feel uncomfortable,
Or foreign,
Or like straight-up lies,
Go ahead and say them anyway.
This is where we are doing the work,
Rewiring those neural networks.
This is also where we gain insight into unhealed wounds,
Limiting beliefs,
And ingrained biases or judgments toward ourselves or toward a particular way of being.
It's great material for journaling or discussing with a counselor or trusted friend,
Maybe even someone doing the series with you.
Whether you're just waking up,
Walking your dog,
On your commute,
Or getting ready for bed,
I hope these affirmations serve your deepest,
Greatest,
Highest self.
