Part of your Champion's journey will entail overcoming all kinds of obstacles. Some will be battles in your own mind, some battles will be with illness and maybe injury. This is life.

This powerful mediation/ visualization exercise will be a tool that you can turn to over again. Healing is your divine right. Claim it. When you are healthy, we recommend doing the meditation once a week for a total mind-body powerup. If you are dealing with illness, pain, injury or limiting beliefs - do this meditation every day until you are at full health.

The endurance and uncertainty of an injury and illness is emotionally exhausting. In those times depression is real.. we can feel lost, drained, hopeless, or scared about what's next. These are times we can turn to meditation, visualization and prayer to change the tide of our thoughts and beliefs which in turn is affirming your body's ability to heal. If you are caught in a negative thought cycle and obsessed with your pain, injury or illness - you'll only move downward and attract more pain, injury and illness into your life. What you focus on expands, and you give power to what you worry about. So....Dig in and retrain your brain to focus on perfect health.
