When you think of affirmations, you might picture someone repeating “I am perfect” in front of a mirror, eyes closed, hoping for magic. That’s not what I’m talking about. The affirmations I use and teach are grounded in reality and a bit of dusty starlight.

Meditation isn’t about becoming a monk; it’s about mental hygiene. It’s the act of sitting with yourself long enough to let the dust settle so you can actually see what’s in front of you.
