Affirmations ~ November 18, 2021

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.

After The Storm

Published November 18, 2021 by tindertender

There’s a thunderstorm about. It is either headed your way or just passing through now. Don’t make a thunderstorm mean more than what it is, though. You don’t have to fear it. You might even feel excitement about it. After all, a thunderstorm is just natures way of gathering energy together that needs to be released. With a release of tension, relief and freedom soon follow, often with a fresh perspective and perhaps the gift of a promising hopeful vision for your future.

Perhaps the particular storm building within you or around you is causing you to quake in your boots. It might be a storm of building emotions, threatening to erupt or already exploding, seemingly beyond your conscious control. You might feel and uncomfortable sense of emotional or psychological pressure within and if something doesn’t happen – and soon – you fear you might just burst! You may also sense that these are forces operating beyond your control. And you would be right.

There is, in life and in the creative process, a need to allow for wild storms. There will be those precious moments of peace beforehand and the release and revitalization that follows, yet the storm in the middle is essential! It is a natural part of the creative process. Without this building and releasing of energy, we would suffer from boredom and stagnancy. You may prefer the excitement of the storm, or the fresh, open feeling that accompanies its clearing. You may find it confronting to be faced with the power of something in which you can only participate, rather than control. Either way, the storm wisdom offers you the gift of bringing things to a head, and clearing them away, so that the energy can be freed from a pattern that has had its day, andis ready to become something new.

Sometimes the pressures that fuel the storms of our lives have been building up for a long time, without us being fully aware of it. It might be pressure from our own minds, creating unnecessary burdens upon us, such as burdens of fear or self-doubt. It could be pressure to appear a certain way, or to fight against life out of a mistaken belief that this is necessary for survival. Sometimes the pressure is little more than the impossible dream of perfection and a need to gently, or even with great dramatic flourish, cast that aside, so that you can dare to be what you are and create from your heart.

Even if you are not sure what the storm is about, don’t lose confidence in your ability to successfully bear its progression, until you are safely at the other side of the experience. Even among the chaos of change and in moments of anxiety, know that you have so much light and trust in your heart that you can see the storm is but a passing process, and notjing that need worry you.

If you cant sense the storm yet, it is coming, and you can, if you wish, feel the beautiful exhilarating gift of it, as you are empowered to cast aside what has been, and receive the gift of a fresh, new take on things. Your confidence is to remain intact – whatever is happening or soon will happen in your life, this storm of sorts, is transformational and supportive of your growth. It is going to clear away cobwebs and free you, open you, to new creative energy and life. Remember – there can be no rainbows without a little rain.

If you have been praying for help, your prayers have been heard and the great creative intelligence of our universe is responding to you, stepping in and shaking things up so that the situations can be sorted out according to a greater wisdom. So let go, hold only to your inner self and allow everything to be cleansed in the sacred storm.

Healing Process ::
Find a place where you can be alone and have some privacy, either inside or perhaps out in nature. When you are ready, repeat the following, where possible with your arms up and open to the sky.

Storms so wild
Storms of grace
I call your blessing
Into my heart now

May I release and let go
May I be revitalized and grow
I open up my heart
To you now

Storms of grace
I stand my ground
As I allow your magic
To cleanse and surround

Any outgrown energy
Which I no longer need
Anything which will sap
Or deplete rather than feed

Storms of grace
Merciful earth
With your help
I experience rebirth

When you have completed your declaration, simply place your hands in prayer at your heart and close your eyes for a moment. Breathe in and out and be aware of yourself, what you feel and what is happening in your body – from the top of your head to the soles of your feet.

Then say, “Through divine creative genius, this is now so.”

Shock Of The New

Published November 15, 2021 by tindertender

What wild unconventional voice is calling to you? Can you hear it? It is so different and so unusual, it might be hard to decipher – like hearing an unfamiliar language for the first time. It might be hard to discern with great clarity now but there is an affinity between you and this strangely beautiful newness seeking to manifest.

There is a stirring at the deepest level within you. Something new will break through and the process of this birth may shock you. The shock will transform into great joy and a sense of tremendous liberation, but you must bear the strangeness first. That strangeness might be something that rattles your beliefs about yourself and your world, daring you to become more of yourself, more open the where life is leading you and more willing to be the unique sacred art being crafted by the hand of the universal creator.

Nature never shies away from strange beauty. She allows for endless diversity and her sacred works are often peculiar and stunning. You live within her field of creative grace, as a specially created work that also creates! Surrender any fear you may have of being seen as exotic, unusual, eccentric or bizarre. Make peace with strange beauty, let it happen through you in creative flow. Perhaps you need to allow your conventional ideas of beauty to become even more inspired and open. Perhaps you can allow your need for the world to behave according to your fixed ideas to fall away. You will receive so much more in its place.

There are rumblings and stirrings of the creative life force happening now – deep in the undercurrents of your being. If you are very attuned or sensitive, you may have consciously felt this already – with excitement, discomfort or both. If you have not yet sensed these inner stirrings, they are happening all the same. So be on the lookout for the big shift of new birth, the shock of the new, the unconventional, the strangely beautiful and the disturbing liberation of that which is foreign stepping into your life. This is life creating the stage upon which you will experience greater fulfillment.

Don’t be nervous if the rumble of change turns into a mighty roar that rocks boats, bursts forth of novel ideas and changes things in a way that is out of your control. This is life happening. Free fall into it. The old way is on its way out. You are being invited, dragged, nurtured and coerced into the new. You can handle it!

You are about to encounter something new and different in your life. This is helpful! Don’t reject it, no matter how small or insignificant, or how powerful and life-changing it may seem to be. Dispense with your reliance on the past and what have been your tools to navigate life. You have outgrown your old methods. You will have to fly by the seat of your pants, so to speak, as you experiment with new ways to be. Let life show you the way.

Mantra ::
I am supported through the shock of the new, I accept the beauty in all that is foreign or strange to me as I know it is bringing me new gifts, wisdom, life experiences and creative inspiration. Through unconditional love, so be it.

Matthew 13:37-49

Published November 14, 2021 by tindertender

The sower of the fine seed is the Son of man; the field is the world; as for the fine seed, these are the sons of the kingdom; but the weeds are the sons of the wicked one, and the enemy that sowed them is the Devil. The harvest is a conclusion of a system of things, and the reapers are angels. Therefore, just as the weeds are collected and burned with fire, so it will be in the conclusion of the system of things. The Son of man will send forth his angels, and they will collect out from his kingdom all things that cause stumbling and persons who are doing lawlessness, and they will pitch them into the fiery furnace. There is where their weeping and the gnashing of their teeth will be. At that time the righteous ones will shine as brightly as the sun in the kingdom of their Father. Let him that has ears listen.

The kingdom of the heavens is like a treasure hidden in the field, which a man found and hid; and for the joy he has he goes and sells what things he has and buys that field.

Again the kingdom of the heavens is like a traveling merchant seeking fine pearls. Upon finding one pearl of high value, away he went and promptly sold all the things he had and bought it.

Again the kingdom of the heavens is like a dragnet let down into the sea and gathering up fish of every kind. When it got full they hauled it up onto the beach and, sitting down, they collected the fine ones into vessels, but the unsuitable they threw away. That is how it will be in the conclusion of the system of things: the angels will go out and separate the wicked from among the righteous and will cast them into the fiery furnace. There is where their weeping and the gnashing of their teeth will be.

Garden of Eden

Published November 14, 2021 by tindertender

The Garden of Eden was essentially a Food Forest, where all things needed for healthy sacred living were provided. The story has it that Eve ate the apple, and caused the expulsion of the people. This idea is rediculous, as that is what the food was there for …. to eat, for the body to be sustained.

The idea of expulsion in this way is not fact. It is a story to subject the feminine to guilt and shame.

Let us prove the thought.

We see in the world as it stands today, the self-sufficiency of the people, their autonomy, has been subjugated. Those of the dominating “New World” cannot dare to think of life with a free people, a people who have the food they need growing fresh and pure, waters that flow clean, who have the wherewithal to be self-sufficient, to care for their every need as it is provided to them by the earth mother.

We see in the current state of affairs dominators everywhere telling the people they must be injected with toxins against their will, or they will not be able to work, to provide for themselves or their families. There is talk of the head banker wanting to dismantle personal bank accounts and savings, there is talk of dismantling a persons right to property.

This is an attack on self-sufficiency, on autonomy.

How many times has the Garden of Eden been dismantled, and the people evicted from the land which provides for their needs? Look to the indigenous cultures, review what their life has been like … they once roamed the land, having their needs fulfilled by the earth mother.

It is time to move away from those who desire to dominate.

Build your Food Forest. Grow nut trees, fruit trees, and berry bushes to compliment the yearly garden worked with ones own two hands. Grow the sustenance required for the body, and share it with the world. Share the seed so others can participate in growing this Garden of Eden in many locations. Create ….. and use the violations against you to fuel your creation. Allow your beautiful creation to feast upon the violations, churning them, and turning them into fodder for the forest, so that it grows aplenty and strong.

The stories we’ve been told are just that, written by those whose lone desire is to dominate all life upon this planet, to harvest it, to use it, to have it work for them, building their fantasy land …..

The people will rise.

The people will rise and build their Gardens. They will do this in many areas of the world, and these Gardens will grow, will flourish, and they will eventually meet in the middle, one with the other, until all of the land is a food forest, nurturing the people as they roam to and fro, as well as the animal kingdom.

It is a choice.

We have been trained to rely on the dominator for our food and housing.

We will build a different New World. A Sacred World, where the feminine is honored, not used in sex slavery where her most intimate energies are harvested by those who must have them in order to create. Feeders … feeding on the Primordial Light within all beings, indeed within all that grows and flows upon the earth.

We see the world as it is drained of its life-force energy.

And we choose ….

Some choose to take the jab, to fall in line, to attack their human family for their audacity to stand for autonomy.

Some, choosing autonomy, begin planting their Food Forests, creating, rebuilding, the sweet sustenance the earth and all who dwell upon her need to thrive.

Be proud of the work you will be doing. It is you who will heal the land, the earth. It is you, creator, who will participate in bringing back the health of this world. It is you, as the Primordial Light of Creation itself moves through you, who will initiate and see abundance flourish in all lands.

Take a stand. Permit the violations to empower your Will to Create. Allow the violations to feed your efforts. Just as the trees cleanse and purify the air we breathe, just as the waters churn and oxygenate the waters that so many life forms inhabit, the toxic world of dominance shall feed your creation.

All foul things shall be made new again … cleansed, purified, fresh.

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.
