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.
You have earned the title Sage or Creative Genius. You are a visionary who has lived life fully and well, the artist at life itself. Your works will last long beyond your own physical life and thus are immortal. You are passing on the pipe now, handing down the wand. This may be in only one area of your life or all of them. You know.
It is an end time. But it is also a time when you reign supreme. Be wise. You will be asked to pass on. It is a good time to reflect, to be thankful, to make completions. Do not get caught up in the feeling of “dying”. There is no death that lasts. Your life conditions, the context in which you find your Self, simply change. Let go of your identification with the earlier parts of your journey. You are not the journey. You are not the past. You are not a has-been or a once-was. You are vital in the here and now. You are an Exemplar of the Pipes. You are a living example of that on which you spent your life energy. You will be given a new life where the long-term benefits of your work support you. Future generations will live with creations developed through your energy. You will be a child among them. The fulfillment of Self well-expressed becomes the art that inspires and guides the world. You will be born again in the future of your own creation.
Prayer :: The time ends for my active work in this area. Yet I shall live a long time to tell of all I know. Those who come to me for advice, I will inspire with my visions fulfillment. I have lived a brave life and passed the tests of time. I have brought forth all of the beauty within me on the path of my purpose. My art now guides the world toward right relationship to all that is. I am free now to take up a new path. But while I am here, I will lead with love and kindness. I will pass on what I know. Ancient ancestors, guide me on to the golden road so that I do not get lost in past glory. Keep me aware of new days to come. Make me a child again.
I call upon the presence of unconditional love. Be here now, without restraint. Fill me and fill this space. Touch all beings with your grace. I feel the presence of unconditional love within me. I acknowledge the presence of unconditional love all around me. I am the presence of unconditional love and in this love, no fear can remain. May unconditional love guide any fear back to the light of love, or back into the earth, as serves the greatest good. My body, mind, heart and soul are now completely bathed in and protected by unconditional love. Through my own free will, this is so. ~ Sacred Rebels Oracle

I experience freedom.
I live deeply, from the heart.
I have been encoded with a great, one-of-a-kind potential.
Everything I do moves me toward the fulfillment of my greatest dreams.
I connect with the innocence of my childhood light.
My relationship with this world is symbiotic. I walk gently, limiting my impact.
I breathe. I remain soft. I am shielded from negative energies.
I rest in a place of calm and balance.
I clear and let go of any residual energy between responsive action.
I stand in my light. I thrive.
I retain my dignity. I am proud of who I am and all that I’ve accomplished.
My base is strong.
I unite with Divine Force in the eternal.
I am liberated from bondage.
I let go of the need to hide myself from the world. I trust myself and let the real, inner me out from behind the veil.
I trust my intuition and my own sense of things.
In the most authentic and self-loving way, I deal with others shady intentions. I know what I am doing.
The patterns of my life are shifting.
I get in touch with courage, boldness and the daredevil within me. I walk into my future, one step at a time.
I allow myself to feel the joy of having arrived at this moment in my life.
I clear my energy and the energy of my environment.
I am the mediator between my God-self and my world. I bring the within outward, recognizing that my presentation and the world’s response are just. I am at peace with all outcomes.
There is a guiding voice connected to you from within your own heart. You know when to speak and when to be silent. The Peacemaker knows the way of the world, and yet is not overwhelmed. Your higher self knows how to bring your highest vision into creation. You have seen what can be.
You are being moved through changes required for your spiritual growth. Your choice is the create your path, or one will be created for you.
Allow the light to shine through any cracks you might see. You may act intuitively in the world, seeing every side of a dispute, and bring the polarities into balance.
Suffering exists as a signal that one is ready for a new and higher level of being. Listen to the silent whisper. You are a star in the book of changes. Your movement in the dance of life reveals all things sacred, the unchanging within the changed.
As you enter each transformation you will know if you’ve taken the right action. You will know because you will feel the presence of the Peacemaker within you.
Speak clearly when speaking is needed. Stand up where before you have sat back in silence. Let love come through where anger once lived. Feel the physical changes.
It’s time for a change of diet. Eat that which you are not accustomed to. Break the old pattern. Learn to enjoy whatever is put before you.
It is easy to let a sprouting garden of ideas die. The seed energy must be nurtured, and watered by the consciousness of self-responsibility. You make true peace by offering your real Self in a way the world can accept. There is something in you that the world is waiting for.
Do not fear rejection. You must find your niche. For a successful outcome you must not only have a good idea but you must present it in a way that will be acceptable to a specific group of people. Many fail because they are not acting much different than a salesman trying to sell refrigerators to Eskimos.
Badgering never works. Attempting to force another to accept you or your ideas will fail, if not immediately, then eventually. Go with the flow. Let go of the need to conflict with others.
Peacemaking is a fine art. It is often the art of keeping silence, letting go of the egoic need to be right, or one-up on someone. No one was ever reformed permanently by bullying.
The Peacemaker is ever watchful for the right opening to speak just enough to gain interest and respect. This way there is no need to argue and no need to back down from your true stance. You proceed systematically and intuitively forward at a steady pace, counting every tiny advance as a success. Thus, there is no war; there is slowly expanding cooperation.

Don’t you hear it? she asked and I shook my head no and then she started to dance and suddenly there was music everywhere and it went on for a very long time and when I finally found words all I could say was thank you. ~ Brian Andreas
From time to time along your journey, you will serendipitously encounter fellow travelers with whom there are sparks of resonance. It is always a thrill to discover you are exploring similar areas of fascination, and thus uncovering similar revelations within the same parenthesis of time. In these moments allow yourself to be heartened, validated, reassured, and invigorated. You don’t need throngs of people standing shoulder to shoulder with you or cheering you on to be infused with strength and inspiration. There is never a crowd on the leading edge, so if you meet only one kindred soul on your path, consider yourself lucky. Nurture your supportive relationships and feel the blessing of these like-minded souls for their belief in you, and for the mutual blessing you bring to each other. Gratefully see your own courage, wisdom, and adventurous spirit reflected in them.
Mantra :: My fellow travelers infuse me with rocket fuel, so I can go further than I could on my own.

I am guided by the ancestors, ancient ones, and angels to direct my thoughts and energies toward what I want to grow, heal and expand. I watch it happen right before my eyes.
I look to what has been, only to evaluate how far I’ve come. I move forward.
The past can be transcended,
To be a person of power one must let go of the memory of one’s own failures. Reevaluate. Revalue. Live and go forward.
All that appears to have limited me must be made into my benefactors by my own mental process.
The only true revolution is the evolution of consciousness.
Material experience follows internal experience.
I release faulty observation and superficial reasoning that gives physicality more power than spirituality.
The body dies easily, the spirit is infinite.
I move beyond appearances. I experience beyond the senses.
I am a compassionate being.
I am able to help the world.
My heart reaches for spirit.
I imagine wonderful worlds of light. They need to live, to manifest. I set my sights and intentions on creating. It will happen!
There is no here. There is no there.
I draw on the energies of harmony and union when making a choice.
I ignore the persuasion of what others might think or say. I trust myself and don’t allow my opinion to be swayed.
Hope and faith make me strong.
Seeking peace, I find joy. There is so much to be happy about and grateful for. Life is good.
The tantric priestess of karmic release manifests with the capacity to integrate higher divine energy into even the most stubborn patterning that has so far resisted healing. When momentum is building, and you don’t know how to stop fueling the fire or reverse the damage, she appears. Her presence indicates that this is a powerful time for spiritual work and healing practices. She will support the work, and much growth can come form it, particularly at this time. No matter how wild they may seem, the storms of your life shall be gentled. You shall emerge unharmed.
Goddess Kali as Bhavatarini is the tantric priestess of karmic release and spiritual blessing. She liberates devotees from karmic struggles, especially those who keep repeating the same patterns with different players. Sometimes the jolt of divine disruption is such a shock that it is temporarily unpleasant, and we feel, therefore, that it is unwanted or harmful. However, once we allow the workings of such disruption to realign our affairs, we will come to recognize and be grateful for what is taking place. We will see it as a saving grace rather than something we had to endure. A ceasing of restrictive or negative influences is predicted.
Ma is adorned with flowers in recognition that she is celebrated during puja. Unlike the fierce Kali who is adored in fearsome places in the dead of night, the kind Bhavatarini is adored in celebrations of the light. The puja, or ‘sacred ritual’, can be very simple, In its most basic form, it is a call to the divine ones to manifest on Earth. It is a creation of light and has a cleansing effect on those doing the puja and, if the intentions and receptivity are strong enough, on the surrounding people and areas.
Bhavatarini teaches that our spiritual activities can have a positive influence, more so than we think possible. She foretells of a profoundly positive and expansive energy that will become available to us if we are willing to open our hearts to her. She also reminds us that we don’t have to wait until things become severe to call on the Divine Mother’s assistance. Why not call for her daily, not only to resolve issues but to prevent them from gaining traction in the first place? If we align ourselves with such simple and happiness-inducing wisdom, our lives can become peaceful and free from unnecessary drama.
Bhavatarini can take the form of Kali Phalaharini to destroy the results of our actions. Phala means ‘fruit’, and harini means ‘a female who takes something away’. So, Phalaharini means ‘the woman who takes away the fruit of our actions’. This means that she can conquer our karma. Kali Phalaharini can cleanse our samkaras, or ‘mental psychic imprints’. These are the familiar grooves that keep the soul repeating patterns, lifetime after lifetime. They are comprised of habitual ways of thinking and behaving that prevent us from evolving into something new and more suitable. They are the karma of ‘stuckness’, limiting our freedom, creativity and expression.
Samskaras can be negative in quality – such as an inhuman compulsion toward prefection – but they can be something we consider positive, such as a repeated attraction toward being a healer. Although being a healer can generate spiritual benefit if we identify with it, it can undermine our freedom to grow spiritually. It can become overly restrictive, and even lead to suppression of aspects of our authentic being that don’t readily ‘fit in’ with the healer archetype.
In the example of a healer, the Divine Mother recognizes the goodness in your heart and your genuine desire to assist. Yet, she will do what is necessary to protect your spiritual awakening and free you from your attachments (yes, even the attachment to helping others). This doesn’t mean that you no longer want to be a healer or that you are blocked from doing so. It means you will not be able to prop up self-value using external roles. Ultimately, this is a gift, but it is a lesson that many healers find painful in the beginning. They need to learn how to offer their heartfelt work and not be attached to how it is received. If they see immediate results and powerful effects of the work, the challenge is to not identify with what is happening and make the divine grace about their own ego. If the ego is failing these lessons and getting caught up in feeling superior or inferior, then the Divine Mother will intervene.
The lesson is that you can relish the roles you play in your life without allowing them to define you. You are asked to take care that you don’t restrict yourself to the roles you play. Embrace the spiritual freedom and unconditional love necessary to be your full authentic being. You are asked to bear the discomfort of no longer relying on certain familiar patterns to give you validation. This will open you up to greater self-realization, self-possession, and joyful freedom to be your whole self. You are on the cusp of a beautiful breakthrough into a more positive era. To amplify her blessings, open your heart to the unfamiliar.
INVOCATION RITUAL Say this prayer aloud:
Beloved Ma Kali, Bhavatarini, Kali Phalaharini, please help me release attachment to the outcomes of my actions so that your grace can manifest without inhibition or constraint. Please abort negative karmic momentum flowing from me or toward me. I place my trust in you. You are the strength that overcomes current, You are the peace that arises in letting go. You are the graceful and effective wisdom manifesting spontaneously for the spiritual benefit of all beings. May your beautiful kindness and liberating wisdom emanate within my heart, always. May I love you more than I love certainty and control! Jai Ma Kali! Jai Ma! Jai Ma!
See yourself seated upon a lion throne with thick garlands of red flowers about your neck hanging over your chest. Stick out your tongue and breathe out a fierce cleansing breath. Then become peaceful. Place your hands at your heart. Sense that there is a guiding presence that knows exactly what needs to happen and when for the spiritual benefit of all beings. You can trust in that. You now become willing to rest in spontaneous wisdom of the heart.
Place your hands in prayer and bow your head in gratitude and reverence. You have completed your healing process.
