How to practice mirror work…
Â
Look in the mirror for five minutes.
Â
Simply stare at yourself and hold gentle eye contact. That's all you have to do.
Â
If you haven't done this before, you might feel a little uncomfortable at first or even a little embarrassed. Sometimes you can get emotional. It's all normal.
Â
There's no hiding in front of the mirror. You might catch a glimpse into the relationship you have with yourself.Â
Â
Your inner critic may show up loud and clear. You might even notice patterns of self-judgment or self-criticism.Â
Â
Take note of this.
Â
It's important to notice these things because these are the things that get in the way of your connection with your true self.
Â
Let yourself feel whatever comes up.
Â
You can also use affirmations when doing mirror work.Â
→ My Higher Self is guiding me.
→ I am whole.
→ I am beautiful.
→ I trust in my natural wisdom.
→ I love you.
