Beautiful Life Mantras

Gentle Massage Mantra

In my book—Live A Beautiful Life with Lupus: Habits and Rituals for Thriving with an Autoimmune Disease—I discuss the use of a mantra to assist you in remembering the importance of habits and rituals. This mantra emphasizes the overall habit of getting a gentle massage—a gentle massage mantra.

A mantra is a way to replace your negative thoughts with positive ones. This redirect is accomplished by coming up with several short sentences that you then repeat in your mind or under your breath as needed. The idea behind it is that by flooding your mind with positive thoughts and expectations, you don’t give entry to your typical negative self talk. It’s also a form of verbal visualization to tell your brain about the outcome you desire. This is a very important tool for living with Lupus.

I wrote this Beautiful Life Mantra to help with the habit of getting a gentle massage on a regular basis and how this habit benefits the Lupus body, mind, and spirit….

I will treat my Lupus body with the gentle touch of caring hands.
Soothing motions over my skin invigorate my cells and
help my blood circulate to reduce stress and relax my muscles.
A gentle massage helps my body, mind, and spirit.

What do you think of this month’s mantra? Could it possibly be helpful to you? If so, how?
