A yoga instructor teaches that calmness can come when thoughts are recited and gratitude is expressed. By KELLIE DIXON, Times Staff Writer Published January 15, 2008 Say what? Sankalpa. It's a Sanskrit word that means resolution, free will or determination, according to Sankalpa.org.in. Reisen said the practice, which is a way to reprogram oneself from the self-conscious, can empower a person to change his or her life. How it works: The sankalpa is a phrase or collection of phrases that are recited after a person meditates. Reisen said meditation and reciting her sankalpa is the first thing she does in the morning - even before that first cup of coffee. She'll wake up and then lie on her bed, often listening to a CD created by her instructor.
