I Can, I Am: Clear The Way

Sometimes we need to grant ourself permission to welcome a new concept before we can really accept and affirm the idea. This practice uses an "I Can" version of the affirmation prior to the "I Am" statement. This clears the way to prepare yourself for higher success of believing the affirmation can come true for you. This practice includes Ujjayi breath to inspire deep breathing throughout the meditation without having to verbally remind the listener.
