Welcome,
I'm Carrie,
Your Yogi,
And this is a 20-minute guided meditation.
This meditation is an affirmation meditation.
Affirmations are positive statements that you repeat silently in your mind to make new neural pathways,
New connections in your brain.
As you strengthen these pathways,
They will become more automatic,
The road that your mind naturally takes and eventually chooses to live and be in.
Today's affirmations will begin with the letter U and end with the letter Z.
Find a comfortable seated meditation position.
Let your spine come up tall and breathe in and out through the nose.
Open up to what's present in the body right now.
Allow your shoulders to relax away from your ears and your palms rest in the lap or on the thighs.
Soften the face and relax the gaze on the floor in front of you or if it feels comfortable to you,
Close the eyes.
Let go of controlled breathing.
Let the air come naturally in and out of the nostrils and open yourself up to this experience right now.
Take what works and repeat these affirmations silently in your mind,
Moving towards positivity,
Self-acceptance and a more joyful outlook on life.
UERS I am an understanding person.
I open up to people in understanding ways.
As an understanding person,
I let go of my judgments,
My criticisms,
And my expectations.
I understand that I have my own cultural and societal conditioning.
I understand I don't know the ins and outs of everyone's life.
I understand that people's lives are different from mine.
Everyone has their own path.
Trusting in this,
I can be more understanding.
I am understanding of the universe.
I don't have a crystal ball.
I can trust that things are working out in the best way that they can.
I am an understanding person.

Gifts,
And abilities that are uniquely mine,
And they are valuable.
I have been placed here on this planet to use my talents,
Gifts,
And abilities in my own unique way.
I value my gifts,
And I know their worth.
I do things differently,
And that is valuable.
I am valuable just the way I am.
I am valuable because I'm here.
I am valuable as a part of this interwoven blanket of energy and life.

Being zany means I have joyful energy.
This zaniness is filled with positive,
Vital energy.
I use my zaniness to connect with others,
To do a job well,
And to participate in life to the fullest.
My zaniness brings me happiness and joy.
Feeling zany,
I accomplish many positive things.
Allowing myself to be zany,
I connect with my childlike,
Joyful self daily.
I embrace the zaniness inside me.
Why youthful?
I am youthful energy.
This youthful energy allows me to see things with a beginner's mind.
Youthful energy is innocence and openness.
My youthfulness allows me to explore things in creative,
Innovative ways.

My youthfulness keeps me strong and healthy.
My youthfulness allows my brain to work well,
Freely,
And effectively.
My youthfulness allows my body to work to do all the activities I enjoy.
I am youthful.
I am zen-like.
I am relaxed and meditative.
I use this zen-like quality to meet difficulty with patience and compassion.
People respond to my zen-like quality with ease and acceptance.
With my zen mind,
I notice the spinning,
Notice the monkey mind,
Allow it to be,
And come back to my zen-like state.
Everything responds to me from my zen-like mind.
I take things with ease and I respond to them with grace.
My zen-like mind helps me to stay in the now.
It is in the now where things flourish and grow.
I am zen-like.
I am zen-like.
I am zen-like.
I am zen-like.
Imagine that you are hugging and holding with kindness and care each sensation.
Take three deep breaths.
Lift the gaze,
Open the eyes,
And gently move the body.
Take any or all of these affirmations into your day and use them in your life.
See what transpires,
Take what works,
And notice how they help move yourself forward in love.
Thank you so much for joining me.
I'm Carrie.
Namaste.
