A sankalpa (ancient language meaning 'affirmation') is a resolve or goal. A sankalpa should be a short, positive statement "I will....." rather than "I wont....". A realistic goal or aim which you are striving for but obstacles of life are holding you back. This goal should remain the same and not be changed until it has been acheived when the time is right. The more one thinks about it and waters this seed they have planted in their mind, the stronger the will behind it and so the more energy is put into transforming this idea/seed into reality. It can be anything, health, spiritual or even overcoming an obstacle or achieving something important to you. Use it regularly and you will see how the mind becomes more focused and aware of opportunities that help you reach this goal!
A Sankalpa is used in Yoga nidra at the start and end of the practice when the mind is relaxed and more receptive. It should be kept private and thought about in every day life too especially upon waking and before sleep.
