Sweet Release Into Deep Inner Peace | Affirmation

This brief practice begins with relaxation then guides into the higher truth that the peace we seek is already within and we need go nowhere but simply release ourselves into it. Focus and raise your energy as you follow this practice, and allow the truth to settle into your being. Affirmation is not wishful thinking. It's tuning in to truth that is deeper than what we see and hear and feel on the surface. Our highest potential wants to be known but it will not arrive uninvited. Affirmation is one of the most powerful tools we have to open the door to the beautiful perfection, the higher reality that is always available. It is not about convincing ourselves of something that appears untrue, but rather putting words and feeling into the higher truths that are hidden by the limited way we engage with our daily reality.
