The Power of Sankalpa or Affirmations
Dear Yoga and Healing Friends,
For me Sankalpa is as important in yoga als Savasana and I always encourage to affirm your Sankalpa or Affirmations. But why are Affirmations so important?
Because a Sankalpa or an Affirmation are a powerful tools that can help us bring positive changes into our lives. In this newsletter, I want to explain the importance of affirmations, introduce the teachings of the Sutras about Sankalpa, and share some beautiful affirmations that you can incorporate into your daily routine.
Why Affirmations Are Important
Affirmations are positive, powerful statements designed to change our thoughts and beliefs. By regularly repeating affirmations, we can reprogram our subconscious mind, replacing negative beliefs with positive, supportive ones. Affirmations help us achieve our goals, boost our self-confidence, and lead more fulfilling lives.
The Teachings of the Sutras About Sankalpa
In yoga and meditation, the concept of Sankalpa plays a significant role. Sankalpa is a Sanskrit word that means "resolution" or "intention." It is a deeply rooted intention that comes from our heart and soul.
The Yoga Sutras teach us that a clearly formulated Sankalpa helps us achieve our spiritual and worldly goals. It is a powerful promise to ourselves that supports us on our path and helps us realize our true potential.
How to Practice Affirmations and Sankalpa
Formulate Your Sankalpa: Find an intention or resolution that comes deeply from your heart. It should be positive, short, and concise. For example: "I am full of confidence and courage."
Repeat Your Sankalpa: Regularly repeat your affirmation, ideally daily. You can do this during your meditation, yoga practice, or any other time that feels right for you.
Visualize: Imagine how it feels when your affirmation comes true. Visualize the positive changes in your life.
Believe in It: Trust that your affirmation and Sankalpa will have an effect. Believe in the power of your thoughts and intentions.
