Frequently Asked Questions

The short answer:  Basically, I took the words Affirmation + Mantra = Affirmantra. 

I think of it like this: If ancient knowledge and modern science had a baby it would look like an Affirmantra!

The little bit longer answer:  Most people today have heard of the power of affirmations and know about repeating a mantra. Through years interest and study (and personal use) I eventually developed my Affirmantra Method, AKA "intention that resonates."  

• To bypass negative thinking, old habits, and mental blocks. 
• To tap into an accessible inner-wisdom and sustained motivation.
• To unlock and amplify your power to achieve goals and manifest change.

It's a unique formula that references scientific studies about the brain (re: neuroplasticity and memory) combined with vibrational / sound healing to literally create new neural pathways. Combining the learning potential of play and repetition into a powerful method for transformation!   It is also easy to learn and implement; immense fun for all ages!

The soothing vibrations and pleasant tones of Sound-bathing travel through every cell in your body & have been shown to relax, revive and rejuvenate. It can help lower blood pressure, reduce stress and anxiety, get better sleep, improve neuroplasticity, memory and focus, helps your immune response. So much healing can take place with these specially tuned vibrational frequencies! As a beneficial modality, sound has been used for thousands of years by Shamans the world over. Modern science is now mapping the effects of sound & vibration to induce deep theta waves in the brain, and what it can do for your health. 

~ Sound-bath / Vibrational Healing effects are immediate and can last for days / weeks. I feel it right away, myself, when doing a Sound Healing (and get all the health benefits, too), so I can attest to the effectiveness of this amazing modality.

~ If you follow the Affirmantra Method guidelines, you may feel a shift in your outlook right away, and noticeable change in as little as three weeks. Of course, manifesting a new reality is not always on "our time" as the Universe unfolds as it will. The timing of your personal transformation depends on the complexity of your goals and your commitment to the process.

~ Spiritual Companioning can be an ongoing process of self-discovery; much depends on your dedication to the growth of your soul-awareness and following your spiritual path. I will assist you however I am able, while respectfully accompanying you on your journey.

Yes! 100% As a member of the clergy, what happens in our sessions stays in our sessions - as long as it does not imply harm to yourself or others (which I am legally bound to report) - what you reveal is completely confidential. 

My training in listening with compassion and non-judgement is invaluable in assisting your spiritual growth. As an Interfaith Minister, I have no agenda or dogma to color my support of your journey.

~ Team-building / group workshops can be done either way (but in-person events can only be done if there is a certified teacher of the Affirmantra Method available in your area). Currently we have facilitators in Southern Maine, and also (soon) in Northern Utah. Stay tuned, though, plans are in the works to expand!

~ Individual sessions / Spiritual Companioning is also flexible, and can be done in-person, but mostly online for convenience sake. 

~ Weddings, rituals, and memorials officiated by Rev. Myra are normally done in-person, with only the planning meetings online. 

We begin within…

The world is growing in awareness that our “mind, body, spirit” connection is vitally important and should be nurtured. Yet, there are people for whom the spiritual aspect of this equation has been sorely overlooked, brushed aside, underfed or ignored far too long. That is why I’ve made Spiritual Companioning a component of my ministry to promote peace in the world. 

Peace begins within…

     Goals of Spiritual Companioning

• In individual or group sessions, the Spiritual Companion seeks to provide a safe and sacred setting to allow each client the opportunity to look within and recognize their own connection with the holy. 
• In this context, “holy” may be interpreted by the client to be “the Universe,” Holy Spirit,” or “God” or any concept of a power bigger than themselves. Fate, Karma, or the Law of Attraction, are similar ideas for the SBNR (Spiritual but not Religious) contingent of our population. 
• A Spiritual Companion strives to remain open and receptive, compassionate and non-judgmental; and to remember that each person already contains the wisdom to provide their own answers. 
• There is no dogma or directing in Spiritual Companioning. One need only have the desire to evolve spiritually as a human BE-ing; acknowledging a soul that deserves tending.

My aim is to serve my community and the world using my knowledge, gifts and talents to the best of my ability. I am on a mission; and must also, as a self-employed independent agent, make a living while doing so. The following prices are a starting point; many are on a sliding fee scale. Please contact me if money is an issue for any of my services!

~ Group workshops are interactive experiences where - if teaching the Affirmantras Method - we discover your most meaningful goals, then learn the technique and how to use it), to help you move forward with ease and sustained motivation. 

Participation is based on a suggested donation of just $39 -$59 per person; with either a guaranteed amount from the host organization (of around $175) and a minimum of at least six people per workshop. Other workshops are priced on a case by case basis. 

NOTE: Extra mileage fees may be applicable if being done in-person outside the limit of a certain travel zone.

~ Spiritual Companioning / Individual sessions can be done online or in-person; and is on a sliding fee scale, averaging between $70 - $95 per hour. These sessions are deeply personal, confidential, and tailored to individual needs.

~ Public Speaking / Guest clergy services, usually start at $250 to $325, but may be adjusted to accommodate needs, travel and other contingencies. For example, I have been known to do small local church services for only $150.

~ Sound-baths, Meditation / Mindfulness sessions are typically $135 to $175, depending on group size and location. These can be done together or as stand alone sessions. Private one-to-one counsel / guidence is the same as individual sessions noted above. 

~ Weddings, Rituals, and Memorial services I officiate ceremonies that are typically non-traditional and collaborative, so prices vary; but generally range from $300 (ie: for standard elopement package) to $800 for a full Affirmantra "Wow-factor" Wedding. The cost of rituals and other celebrations of life / memorials, etc. depend on where it is held and what is being done.  Again, please feel free to contact me to negotiate an amount that works for you!
