Be Aware of What You are Creating

What a way to start 2018! Sharing this beautiful feature, about myself, from an article written and published by Southwest Institute of Healing Arts. I'm honored: www.blog.swiha.edu/soul-to-soul-becca-briley-and-the-power-of-mantras-for-2018

"Becca has grown into this practice with the conviction that “by supporting others’ evolution, I am supporting my own for the highest and greatest good.” She finds that the questions her clients most frequently bring to her are ultimately ones of evolution: How do I control my thoughts? How do I stay positive? How do I get out of my bad habits? How do I look on the bright side? When working with people who are striving to make these improvements, she is sure to encourage them to see it as a process. “It’s a mindful practice,” Becca says. “It’s not a switch that you turn on and it stays on. Living in that higher space is a matter of repetition.”

Mantras trace their roots back to the Vedic period of Hinduism, during which these deeply personal chants evolved out of a respect for poetry and music of the time. They have since become a critical part of Jainism, Buddhism, Sikhism, Taoism, and the Bahá’í Faith, and are now also popular in Western practices which value their power for transforming thoughts.

By guiding clients through the process of developing an affirmation customized to their particular needs, Becca is encouraging them to recognize their power over their own minds. Read more

"Becca advises that when confronting our fear and self-doubt, especially around the future, we must realize that anything is possible." It’s simply a matter of how badly you want it, what you are telling yourself about it, and the plan of action you’re going to take to make it happen,” she smiles.
