The Spiritual Self Schema (3-S) Development Program

For the purposes of designing your Path, you will need to
reflect on the scripts you could write for your inner dialogue
that are consistent with your Spiritual path. Then through

will change. This requires consistency and
persistence. Reflect on what self-affirmations, mantras, or
inspirational phrases you could use that are consistent with
your own Spiritual path?

"perfections" to include when reciting your daily 3-S affirmation). This
will help remind you each day to embody that particular quality while
engaged in your usual daily activities.

guide, as a mantra that can be repeated (to oneself) throughout the day.

Phase 3, also utilizes mantras (i.e., the repetition of phrases, such as
