Welcome to Mama Mantra Mondays with Sharina Gutierrez! Throughout the next several weeks, the 2024 SI Swimsuit rookie will lead a sound bath meditation focused on a specific mantra or affirmation to help center the mind and hone the energy for the week to come. By the end of January, you’ll have the tools necessary to help create the life you desire. 

Last Monday, we introduced Mama Mantra Mondays with Sharina Gutierrez, a five-week meditation series in partnership with SI Swimsuit that’s designed to guide users through the art of mantras and manifestation.  

Week one focused on all things gratitude, as the Mama Mantra founder, 2023 Swim Search co-winner and ’24 rookie strongly believes that it is the starting point for any successful practice. 

“[Gratitude] should be the foundation of everything that you create,” Gutierrez says. “Because if you’re not grateful for what you’re creating, then why create anything at all?”

This week, Gutierrez continues the series with the next building block for manifesting the life you deserve in 2024: creating abundance.

Episode 2: Abundance

“It’s about creating the space for abundance,” she explains of this week’s three-and-a-half-minute-long meditation, which begins by focusing on breath work. “So allowing yourself to release all that no longer deserves space inside of yourself so that you’re capable of creating that abundance.”

Gutierrez uses seven bowls in her sound bath practice, each of which hit different frequencies that unlock the vibration of various chakras in your body, from your crown to your root.

“Basically what happens is, I’ll be playing the different sounds and each bowl will hit the different frequencies of your crown, to your third eye, to your throat chakra, your heart chakra, your solar plexus and your root. And we hold different vibrations in each one, so when we speak, for example, ‘I am grateful, I am secure,’ that’s unlocking your root chakra,” she says. “So the sounds that I’m using helps amplify the actual affirmations and mantras we’ll be saying through the videos.”

Below, join Gutierrez in setting this week’s intention of abundance.

“I am a master creator / I am creating abundance and blessings into my life / My thoughts reflect my hopes and not my fears / I am the creator of my destiny / What I create is meant for me / I attract the abundance that I deserve into my life / My heart is opened to all that I create / What I create has purpose and intention / I am grateful for what I create / I am the creator of my destiny.”

Tune in next Monday, Jan. 15, as Gutierrez returns with her third episode, which focuses on how to practice patience.
