21 days

I can. I accept. I allow.

Powerful beginnings to powerful mantras.

I can climb Everest. I accept the events that occur. I allow the universe to heal me.

It’s the chicken soup for our soul that thousands and thousands of books have been written on, the basic formula of life that makes psychiatrists and shrinks millionaires, the most powerful of all our powers that lie dormant within us.

And it’s free. We don’t need to eat into our savings or forgo that new white leather couch for this life-changing remedy. It lies within us.

All we need to do is sit, relax and focus. Realise what we want, what it is that’s blocking us from achieving what we want, why we are allowing that blockage, and do we really want to change it. If the desire for change burns, focus again on what you want to change. Is it your job, is it your fear of public speaking, a phobia of heights, the chance to heal a broken heart? Figure out what needs fixing and apply the balm of words that will do the trick. Then sit back and watch the magic number 21 do its trick. You’ll be amazed at the power of your subconscious and the strength of your own words.

If it’s a broken spirit that needs mending, a heart that needs fixing or a soul that needs healing, that’s what you should allow yourself to let happen. Create your own mantra to guide you. Your mantra will be embedded in your DNA from this point on till eternity. It will be etched into the deepest levels of your subconscious mind, to stay with you through this life and all the others. Best then that it’s your own creation of what you want for yourself. Create whatever feels right. Be honest with yourself and find the sore spots, the areas that need healing and address it directly. Be bold. Say that you allow the universe to heal you. You choose to integrate love and peace into your daily life and deep within your soul (thanks for that one Ruchi). You accept the power you have over your actions. You allow yourself to be the creator of your own universe. You feel no shame, no fear, no negativity. You choose enlightenment over social norms. You allow yourself love. You feel love. You see love. You are love.

Create whatever works for you, believe it from deep within your middle. Accept that you have chosen to walk this path of self-healing and allow yourself the courage to heal. Write down your own mantra. Repeat if 21 times over 21 days. That’s how long it takes to make a break a habit or notion in the subconscious mind. Speak it out loud, whisper it to your soul, write it down in your favourite book. Do whatever it takes to convince the most important person in your universe of how amazingly unique, talented, powerful, wonderful and loved they/you are. Because, what it all boils down to is love. Love from your very core, to your very core.  Spend one day loving yourself and notice how the wheels will turn in your favour, how, magically, the universe will conspire to throw back at you all the love you're generating from within. And the more love you receive from the universe, the greater your belief in your special powers. After all, you created that love. Just as you created your own mantra, your own desires, your own wants. And if the love came bouncing right back, bet you can't wait for your mantra, desires and powers to come back at you 10-fold.

Keep believing. Keep loving. That's all it takes.
