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.

When angels visit us, we do not hear the rustle of wings, nor feel the feathery touch of the breast of a dove; but we know their presence by the love they create in our hearts. ~ Mary Baker Eddy
You have a circle of supernatural support, spirit guides, and angelic beings surrounding you always. You have at least ten thousand angels on hand at all times, above, beneath, and on either side of you. When you become aware of them, their support and strength can be experienced more palpably within you, and you become truly empowered. Take a moment to scan over your life and realize you have never been alone. Allow yourself to feel uplifted as you ride on the wings of their vision for you. Discover the loving guidance that is always present. Honor your guides and angels by receiving and acting on their gift of wisdom.

When a resolute young fellow steps up to the great bully, the World, and takes him boldly by the beard, he is often surprised to find it comes off in his hand, and that it was only tied on to scare away timid adventurers. ~ Ralph Waldo Emerson
As you advance along your journey, prepare to encounter all types of people and circumstances. There will be those who start off as allies but turn out to be otherwise. There will be those you judge as enemies who become the greatest instigators of your spiritual growth. If you know in advance that even the enemies you encounter are allies in disguise, you can relax. So, relax – as there really is no such thing as a true enemy. When you reflect on your life, you realize the most difficult challenges taught you the most valuable lessons and have made you more resourceful and resilient than you would otherwise be. Revel in the reality that you are who you are today, precisely because of the challenges you’ve faced and aced.
Mantra :: I revel in the blessings discovered in the most unlikely people and places.

People oftentimes tend to walk or run or hike or chat to another as they move through nature. To really embrace the medicine of nature, try stopping and consciously, intentionally, merging with an aspect of it that appeals to you. Be that a tree, a river, a view, a flower, an animal a cave, a rock etc. Let go Into its stillness, its wildness, its adaptability, its natural rhythm…… and become one. Even for a moment. You are it…you are nature. Remember that. All it takes is a little bit of imagination, some conscious deep breathing and a good dose of willingness.

Breathing in, I see all my ancestors in me: my mineral ancestors, plant ancestors, mammal ancestors, and human ancestors. My ancestors are always present, alive in every cell of my body, and I play a part in their immortality. ~ Thich Nhat Hanh
Those who have made the biggest impact on the planet, in addition to feeling extremely passionate, felt resistance, too. Martin Luther King, Abraham Lincoln, Harriet Tubman, Joan of Arc, Sacajawea, and Marie Curie are but a few. Every hero and shero in history has had moments of self-doubt, even paralyzing fear, before doing the courageous act that became their legacy. They felt the fear but did what they were called to do anyway. For this reason, you need not be detoured when you bump against uncertainty. In fact, doubt helps to chisel the ego out of the way, which is key to accomplishing a mission of merit, and becoming a channel of grace a higher purpose can move through. Know that you are in great company, and when you are ready, you’ll get up and go, like the great ones who came before you, upon whose shoulders you now stand.
Celebration and/or integration You are on track There is strength in numbers, you are never alone Self-love is needed Be in harmony with Self
Mantra :: Like the heroes before me, I feel the doubt, and follow through anyway!

We are a long way from seasonal time, from the ebb and flow of tides, the cycles of the moon, the rise and set of the sun. Instead we have watches and clocks, which tick and tick to mark the passing of every second. There are times when you need to move quickly – when you have appointments, deadlines or important responsibilities that need to be completed. When you are amidst such activities, you will be consumed with them. You may become anxious, short of breath, hurried and rushed. It may seem that you need to move faster than other people need to. This can lead to stressful, heart-racing moments, and when you are reactive like this, you are less capable than when you are focused, calm and clear.
Even though it is true that you must meet a deadline, you must take a moment to slow down so you can attend to your responsibilities. You are in the midst of a whirlwind – be the calm, the eye of the storm. Put to rest the urge to worry, to fret, to rush until your work is done, and the need to impress those you wish to please.
Work carefully, clearly, with focus and intent, see a sunrise, bathe in moonlight, notice the leaves changing color … and you will work faster than if you hurry and get caught up in worry. There is no need to rush, just look as if you are taking your work as seriously as it deserves. Pull back, stay calm, have a plan and stick to it, and all will be well.
A time of stress and added workload. Increased responsibility, feeling it is too late to pursue your dreams. Feeling pushed to complete too many tasks. An inability to say no. Insufficient support. The urge to rush. This could be a time of dynamic opportunity – but you must take charge of your own workload and do what must be done. It is time for one last push!
