Similar to affirmations, self love mantras can help you to foster a positive self image and reinforce beliefs that support self acceptance and compassion.
There is so much information about self-love and its importance in society, our communities, and on social media, it’s no wonder that many of us are starting to love ourselves on a deeper level.
Brain & Behaviour explains that self-love is about having a deep appreciation for yourself, that grows from actions that support physical, psychological, and spiritual growth.
The most important relationship in your life is the one you have with yourself, when we truly love ourselves, it can transform our whole world.
Self-love holds the key to your happiness, authenticity and greatest desires. This is because when we love ourselves, we accept ourselves for who we are, we know our worth and have better relationships with those around us.
Self-love consists of:
- Being kind to yourself
- Avoid criticizing yourself
- Put yourself first
- Being honest with yourself
- Practice forgiveness
- Accepting your ‘flaws’
- Work on areas where you feel you could improve
- Honoring your feels
- Learning to say ‘no’
- Not feeling guilty when decision you have made
What are mantras?
Yoga Journal states that the word ‘mantra’ comes from Sanskrit words – ‘manas’, which means ‘mind’ and ‘tra’, which means ‘tool’, and mantra means ‘tool of the mind’. It goes on to explain how it used to help people access a higher power and their true natures.
Mantras originate from Hindu and Buddhist traditions but are practiced worldwide, and they were specifically used to help with concentration during meditation or prayer.
Anahana states that in today’s society, mantras are used outside of meditation and prayer, and include affirmations that benefit us, and this new definition of mantra has opened the exercise to the world, despite whether you are spiritual or religious.
How can self-love mantras help?
Practising self-love mantra’s will help you to cultivate more self-love, which in turn, encourages self-confidence, high self-esteem and positive thinking. The more you consistently practice these mantras, you should begin to feel a deeper appreciation for yourself over time.
We all want to feel good and be well-rounded individuals who love and believe in ourselves despite life often showing us we are ‘not good enough so why not start incorporating self love mantras into your routine , meditation or prayer practice.
Self love mantras offer a pathway to a more loving and fulfilling relationship with oneself.
How to practice self-love Mantras?
- You should start by getting a journal or notebook to write down the mantras that resonate with you
- Find a space where you will not be disturbed, sit in a comfortable position and repeat your mantras slowly
- Keep your eyes closed and focus on the words you are speaking, if you loose focus just bring it back to the words you are speaking
- Practice for a minimum of ten minutes
- Practice ‘mirror works’ – Louise Hay Explains how the most powerful mantras are the ones that you practice in front of the mirror because as you do mirror work you will be mindful of the things you say and the mirror reflects back to you the feelings you have about yourself. You will need to keep your eyes open for this practice.
