Rainbows and Good Feelings - a Freebie!

It's a present! For you! Today!

Click here to nab your very own copy of the chakra affirmations pictured below.

The Backstory

I rung in the first weeks of 2014 doing an Ayurvedic cleanse. I’m a healthy person, and not exactly one to jump on trends. In fact, I didn’t really even know what a cleanse was before I got started. I just knew that the pendulum had swung a little crazy over the holidays and I wanted to reset.

I now know that a cleanse is really just a nice way of saying you poop a lot. A lot. Like more than I ever thought was humanly possible.

It’s also so much more, and I’m reaping all sorts of amazing benefits, but seriously. The poo. I felt like a 9 year old boy. :)

(I participated in the cleanse as part of a group and under the guidance of two Ayurvedic practitioners, one of whom is a doctor and close friend, so I had a regimen to follow and tons of support.)

The Chakras

As part of the cleanse, the group did a chakra balancing. Which I missed. And I will out myself here- I don’t know all that much about the chakras. In fact, it was a client that requested the chakra undies you’ll find in my shop.

What I do know is that they’re energy centers in the body and that each is kind of a gatekeeper for a number of things. Beyond that, I don’t know much.

Still, when I read the affirmations for the first time, I was moved by how they resonated so completely with my values, how I do feel, how I want to feel, how I strive to feel.

How they reframed all my insecurities and helped me know what to strive for. I knew I needed to see them everyday.

So I started to make a poster. And I thought, "If I make this really pretty, maybe you (yes, you) would like it too..."

And the author of the affirmations, Simona at chakra-anatomy.com, has graciously allowed me to share them with you in this way.

So here is your lovely bundle of good energy, a chakra affirmations download. Please, enjoy it, pin it, print it, hang it up.

Update: Simona, the author of the affirmations, agreed to a short interview where she shares a couple of ways you can use the affirmations and a little bit more about chakras themselves. Check it out here.
