Affirmation Mantra

/

I was under the impression that my affirmation of nearly forty years, Live LOVE now and… , is a Mantra. My mantra, I mean affirmation, does go on and on and totals about one hundred words. This is a bit long to be saying over and over with each breath in meditation. I got the point when the retreat master said: that is not a mantra, it is an affirmation. So, I set out to develop a mantra to repeat over and over during meditation.

Frequently quoted Ancient Mystics phrases are encouraged to be used during meditation. My thinking is The Divine can hear me, regardless of language and, I best own it, if the words are my own aspiring thoughts; an affirmation, if you will. Anyway, here is my new mantra for meditation. My lord is LOVE. I am One with LOVE; it is my way of Being. The first sentence I say with in-breath, and the second sentence with longer out-breath.

I have been getting into a daily practice of meditation. The practice plays a role in me Being more joyfully present. I am in awe of my enhanced level of loving and gratefulness. I am seeing the Light.
