A Practice In Speaking Life In A Challenging World

Many of us are moving through some of the most challenging times in this world. And in moments like these, it is important that we use our voices to speak life into ourselves, one another, and the situations we are moving through, regardless of how bleak they may seem.

Our voices carry power. This practice is an invitation to pair your voice with your breath, creating greater clarity and intention around the words you speak, and empowering you to speak life more consciously over the concerns closest to your heart.

As you practice, consider sharing in the comments what life you’ve spoken, so we can pay it forward to our global community. Most importantly, keep track of your own words and notice how they begin to shape even the smallest moments of your life. What may seem small, just like the insects of this world, can still carry a mighty impact.

It'll come from a place of not invalidating parts of ourselves, But from a place of actually acknowledging what we have going on within, What's going on in our communities, What's going on in our lives and our relationships on this earth. So as you continue to breathe. Find the rhythm of your heart. Validate those feelings that you have. Acknowledging them, Giving thanks for them. We want to begin to speak life over whatever our situations are. Speak life over whatever we need to cover in our lives. So if it's our finances, We're addressing those with clear affirmations and statements that say, I am. Well-resourced. I am a resource within myself, First and foremost.
