Neuroplasticity happens when connections are made across the neural network in our brain. Essentially, our brain creates super-highways that it travels quickly in response to outside stimuli. Thought patterns that are repeated often create massive highways that the thought travels on. The more the thought occurs, the more it will occur.

One of the most effective ways to reprogram the mind, to reformat the consciousness, is through using affirmative statements. I share with you examples that you may find helpful should you wish to use them to assist in reformatting the thinking mind.

Rosalie saw before her eyes a tree of marvellous beauty
Virginia Frances Sterrett, 1920

I direct my energies towards what I want to grow, heal and expand.

I am becoming the person I have dreamed of being.

This day is bright with hope and good fortune.

I wear a smile on my lips, and joy in my heart.

I love myself, and then I give freely from this love.

I keep my heart open to what is coming towards me.

There is something wonderful rising within me. A shift is happening in my environment, both internal and external.

I open to the process of transformation with an open heart and mind. It will be wonderful and exactly what is needed.

I am creating something of worth. I am patient and I trust in the process.

I am transitioning into the next cycle of experience.

I believe in my dream.

I remain open to receive. I trust in the unfolding of my life’s experiences.

I do not turn away.

I allow this integration to occur.

I allow my dreams to become reality. I prepare for major expansion in my life.

I let my emotions flow. I give myself permission to feel and to experience them without judgement. I do not deny them. I release them. I let them flow and then let them go.

I seek the eternal.

The needs of others are no more important than my own needs. I see through the expectations and manipulations that are being put upon me. I release them.

I outmaneuver old patterns.

I craft new and improved relationships.

Sun of Justice
Albrecht Dürer (after), 1566

I am becoming blessed with the ability to truly see. To see what is real rather than what appears to be.

Love is within all. It provides a way through which healing can occur and peace embodied.

Guilt or shame only signify that I am leaving behind a smaller life.

I am watched over and protected. That which has been bothering me will not be able to harm me. I will prevail.

I shift perspective.

I look through the eyes of love rather than fear.

I am expanding my perception.

My ability to see the light in all things is unfolding. I nourish this in my heart with loving acceptance.

The powers of transformation are at my command.

I can change any failure into success. My only limits are those I impose upon myself.

I have skill and talent; I am developing them. I do everything I need to be at my best.

I believe in destiny. I have purpose and reason for being.

I am beginning a new phase in life that promises prosperity.

I remember life’s exquisite loves. I honor them. They have been my teachers.

I have the ability to bring my dreams into form.

I clear my energy and the energy of my environment.

I prepare for what is ahead. I clear away the old that no longer has purpose in my life. I begin the process of renewal. Shedding, with ease and grace.

I have the power to change my life. I face my fear and align with the Light.

I am a bridge between heaven and earth. I am connected to both worlds.

Defend To The End, The Worthwhile

Published November 13, 2021 by tindertender

Beneath the illusions, pretty as they may seem, you know what is real. Beneath the lies, sweet though they may sound, you know what is worthwhile. All that is genuinely and truly essential for the heart to throb with life is worthwhile. Anything that dulls or suffocates its vibrant aliveness, must be questioned, challenged, and more than likely, cast aside, for the heart is our key to living an authentic life. What is there once that is compromised? Without its foundation of truth, we are to be forever lost in confusion, doubt and despair!

You are a sacred warrior – a defender of the heart. You have cried genuine tears of your own grief, and also the grief of the world. You have raged at injustice and oppression in your own life, and in the world. You have felt the need to protect the presence of love, for whilst it is exceptionally powerful, it can too easily be smothered under lies and fear. The sacred warrior must not heed the dangerous voices that say, “Oh, stop being so sensitive! Stop making such a big deal out of things!” Love is the biggest deal there is. What else is worth being so sensitive about? The sacred warrior is vigilant that the presence of love is not chipped away by fear, criticism, doubt or untruths. Even if others find the unflinching honesty of your feelings difficult to handle, even if those feelings are expressed with gentleness and compassion, the sacred warrior honors the task of being more faithful to love, than to anything else. This includes the fear of loss. Actually, it includes the fear of anything at all.

Honor even the smallest steps on your path. They are no less important than the more noticeable or dramatic actions on the path. One single misstep can begin a landslide of great devastation. Being vigilant with what is meaningful and what is truthful, even in the smallest and seemingly most insignificant ways, strengthens the sacred warrior and prevents darkness from gaining a stronghold from the inside. That darkness will be intelligent and sneaky. It will tell you that it doesn’t matter, that this one time you can forget what you promised, that you are just one person and that you can’t make a difference anyway. That darkness will lure you into sleepy ambivalence and dull your light, if you allow it to. The sacred warrior within will fight with love and honor to be true to what has meaning, and never, ever allow it to be cast aside – even if it seems easier in the moment. The sacred warrior finds joy and humor in life, to prevent the seriousness of the task from stifling the heart that just wants to live and be free. That joy brings strength to the warrior and an expanded, relaxed awareness that can sense the presence of fear (whether is is masked as anger, hate or doubt) and immediately respond to it with fierce compassion. The sacred warrior will not allow fear to gain a stronghold within the heart.

Stay strong and stand your ground. This might be in a big emotional journey that feels like the fight of your life. It may be in a matter that does not seem to hold much importance. Perhaps, for example, you are contemplating an idea that you feel could be something, but those around you declare it is nothing much, too impractical, too little or too much. However, what is happening or soon will be happening, is worthwhile. So, hold tight! Ask for help through the healing process below, stay true to the sacred warrior of love that you are and defend to the end all that is worthwhile.

Healing process ::
Put your hand on your heart and say, “I call upon the sacred warriors of unconditional love. I ask for your support, protection, assistance and intervention on my behalf though unconditional love, that what is truly worthwhile for the light and life of the heart be protected and preserved, within me and in the world, for the greater good. Through my own free will, so be it.”

Repeat up to three times if you wish. This can be said once or twice daily during times when you feel that you are fighting to be heard, fighting to salvage your creative ideas from the critical voices of others, or fighting for your right to simply be yourself and live your truth in the world. You can also use it for any other purpose that feels worthwhile to your heart. These declarations have power. Use that power freely and with great joy.

Divine Drunkenness

Published November 9, 2021 by tindertender

“I am so drunk I have lost the way in and the way out. I have lost the earth, the moon, and the sky. Don’t put another cup of wine in my hand, pour it in my mouth …” ~ Rumi

You’ve said yes to becoming all you can be, yes to becoming your best self, and yes to contributing to the world by remembering your dreams, sharing your gifts and talents. It seem the universe heard you and is responding in kind. Instead of panicking at the loss of who you thought you were, celebrate your gain. By releasing who you were, you have created space to explore the infinite possibilities of who you shall become. Your divine disorientation is due to the disappearance of the self you’ve come to know over all these years. Take heart knowing the sacred storm taking place within is part of your apotheosis. You are experiencing elevation – from where you’ve been to the human you were born to be. The rearranging of cells, molecules, atoms, electrons, and quantum material that holds you together is a wild party. Call it good and revel in divine oblivion.

Mantra ::
I am high on life, and off my rocker with the overwhelming beauty that surrounds me.
