Forty Days and Forty Nights

A little more than two months ago, I stumbled across a video about the Power of I Am. Saying, “I Am” is what you believe to be true about self. You are inviting what you say about yourself into your life. If you say “I am unlucky” or “I am a failure,” you are inviting negative seeds into your heart. However, if you say, “I am blessed” or “I am worthy,” you are welcoming goodness and blessings into your life.

I’ve always thought of myself as a positive person, but once I heard the words within this video, I realized I was guilty of casting negative words upon myself. Then and there I decided to change those negative thoughts into positive ones by committing to meditation for forty days and forty nights on the Power of I Am.

I created a make-shift area dedicated to this special meditation, which consists of a few unused blankets, rug, pillow, and candle. It’s not fancy, but is my sacred space to acknowledge all that I want to bring into my life. Each morning, upon rising, I begin my daily ritual. The meditation consists of three parts: my words of gratitude, the “Yes I can” portion, and the third and final piece, the Power of I Am.

The forty days and forty nights have long past, but I continue with this special meditation practice. I can’t really put into words how different I feel, I just do. My days feels lighter, unexpected blessings appear, and I am worthy. I am strong, I am healthy, and I am whole. I am open to love, I am imperfectly perfect, and I am enough. You, my dear, are too! Embrace the Power of I Am and feel the difference in your heart.
