Imagine starting your day brimming with confidence and empowerment, all while still nestled in the warmth of your bed.

Let's start with the practice of power posing in bed – a simple yet potent way to set the tone for a powerful and magickal day ahead.

 

What is Power Posing?
Power posing is a technique rooted in the idea that adopting certain postures can influence our mental state and emotional well-being.

These poses, often characterised by taking up space and displaying open, expansive body language, are linked to increased feelings of confidence and reduced stress.

When you start your day with power poses, you’re not just waking up your body, but also awakening a sense of inner strength and self-assuredness.

 

How to Practise Power Posing in Bed
You don’t need to leap out of bed to benefit from this practice.

Here’s how you can incorporate power posing into your morning routine without disrupting your comfort:

Find Your Pose
While lying in bed, stretch your arms out wide or above your head, and spread your legs comfortably.

Alternatively, you can sit up with your back straight, shoulders back, and hands resting on your hips or behind your head.

The key is to take up space and feel expansive.

 

Visualise Your Day
As you settle into your pose, close your eyes and take a few deep breaths.

Visualise how you want to feel today – confident, empowered, calm, and ready to conquer any challenges.

 

Feel Into the Pose
Focus on embodying the feeling you want to carry throughout your day.

Imagine this sensation filling every part of your body as you hold the pose. '

Feel the confidence and power flowing through you, energising every cell.

 

Lock It In
After holding your pose for a minute or two, take a final deep breath and mentally ‘lock in’ this feeling. 

Affirm to yourself that this energy and confidence will stay with you throughout the day.

 

Why Power Posing Works
Power posing is more than just a physical act; it’s a magickal ritual that connects mind, body, and spirit. 

Mind-Body Connection
Our physical posture influences our mental state.
By adopting powerful poses, we signal to our brain that we are confident and capable, which can alter our emotional state and boost our self-esteem.

 

Energetic Alignment
When we take up space and embody confidence, we align our energy with our intentions.
This alignment helps to attract positive experiences and opportunities throughout the day.

 

Magickal Intent
Incorporating visualisation and affirmation into your power posing turns it into a magickal practice.
By setting an intention and infusing it with energy, you create a powerful spell that shapes your day.

 

Benefits of Power Posing in Bed

Boosts Confidence
Beginning your day with power poses helps you cultivate a sense of confidence and self-assuredness.
