This is a simple practice for when you're feeling a bit down on yourself.
Practice it when you feel okay, so it is readily available to you in moments of suffering.
It is a breathing practice connected with affirmations. It is adapted from walking meditations by Thich Nhat Hanh.
Think to yourself:
"I am home" as you breathe in.
"I have arrived" as you breathe out.
"I am worthy" as you breathe in.
"I belong here" as you breathe out.
Finish with the Bodhisattva vow: "May whatever arises in my life awaken compassion."
