I Love meditation and yoga, through out everything I have been through it has always help keep my feet firmly planted on the ground. Last Christmas Eve, while feeling very drained I came up with my some of my very own affirmations. They help quite a bit when life becomes a bit too much for me.

First I start off doing normal yoga. Then I sit down after my body as grown tired closed my eyes. They about peace flowing through my body, I think about being under a mightily waterfall with all that hard water hitting some sense into my mind. Then I recite my beliefs, my pledge. There are thirteen in all, they really do help. While in mediation, I focus my mind on an image that I drew with to me represents a full stop, yet a flow in my life force. The symbol might look familiar to some, but at the time when I envision it. It didn't know it was familiar to anyone. The dot means to stop all actions, become still listen to everything and everyone around u. While the line means to release everything you have bottle up in you. You them chant Om .
                                                                                 
                                                                     

Keep that in the mind and think about the following 
1. I sit in total peace and awareness of myself. I seek no approval nor do I want any.
2. In me no evil resides for I denounce it.
3. In me no false tongue resides for I denounce it.
4. I seek total peace, which is as bright as the sun shining down on me,
5. I seek no answers nor do I come baring any questions.
6. I denounce my mortal soul, for my immortal one. Knowing that one day I shall be no more
7. I come in total awareness of myself
8. I seek no spiritual gifts; all I want is to be at oneness with myself.
9. I come under no religious baring
10. I come through my own soul taking the blame for all the sins I have committed in this life and the past ones that I have lived.
11. I seek the presence of grace in my life, to help me deal with some of the difficult things that I going to have to deal with in life.
12. I seek help in nurturing my soul so that it may evolve into a much better soul.
13. I come baring only peace in my heart.

Shanti Om, Om Shanti Om.
Mediate on Om Shanti Om for a little while. Feel yourself becoming free. Envision only peace in your life. Make sure your hand is clasp in front of you and release all bad thoughts
