The recent years here in northern California with their October deluge of wildfires and smoke have reaffirmed and clarified a mantra from my yoga teacher.
Repeat “I am safe” particularly in dangerous or precarious times, when in fear or worry or anxious.
Repeat this with the following understanding: I have the resources to meet any challenges that come my way.*
*In addition thanking my teacher, I have several close friends who have had serious cancer to thank for this insight about strength… those who survived and those who did not.
