It is almost as if the Family Tree of Humanity is rooted in the fields of war, unrest and devastation and is unaware that there are also fields of prosperity, cooperation and peace that we could be nurtured in.

Perhaps it’s because many of us buy into the rancor and shortsightedness of this Sacred Cow:

“Disrespect the Earth and those that inhabit her.”

If the collective agreement with that statement could be released, perhaps Humanity could choose to be replanted in common ground where people work together to get climate change under control. A place that is free from disrespect and exploitation is a place where miracles can occur much more easily and sustainable prosperity can be achieved.

Bearing Fruit in a Richer Garden

You can loosen up the soil that imprisons your own family tree if you can take just a few minutes out of your time. Look at the Sacred Contract Circle to your left and release these agreements:

“War and competition is the source of my prosperity.”
“ I have to be rooted in disrespect and exploitation.”
“There is no common ground.”
“Miracles are not possible.”

Play our tipping game, and release your agreement to abide by these Sacred Cows from the Status Quo.

Here is a recent issue that came up regarding downloading our Intuitive Learning material for one subscriber:

“I have a blackberry and am having a problem. You are interested in many things I need. I’m in co spgs, co how can I work with you? One question a sick friend has placed dream catchers many of them in her bathroom I had a weird feeling about that like somehow not contributing to her wellness
Sent via BlackBerry by AT&T”

Dear Paula,

I take it from what you’ve said that your blackberry limits what you can see on our website newsletters and the ebooks, etc. Is that correct?

If so, here is what comes to mind immediately. Can you download the pdf’s and take them (or email them) to a Staples or other printer/copy center and have them print them out for you? As a subscriber, I give permission for you to do that with our free downloads (Taming the Bear, 5 Lectures on Reincarnation and the Spiritual Attachment Assessment) if they have any copyright issues. One copy per subscriber, please.

Another option is to get an internet account through your local library. That should work well for the newsletters and Games for Change if you have signed up for them.

Another option is for you to tell me what you want and have me print them up and send them to you. We can do that for a small fee that covers the cost of printing and postage. For example, we have the “Creating a Tipping Point for Economic Prosperity” complied in ebook form and can send that to you.

If you want to purchase a Book or Game, I can print and mail them as well for the price listed, plus postage.

For personal work (energy work and feng shui)  – A lot of folks purchase the Soul Prayer Charts and Gifts from the Rainforest and then I work with them over the phone. The Intuitive Learning Circles transmit beautifully for long distance work.

The best way to proceed is for you to tell me what you’re interested in and then I can make more specific suggestions based on that.

*    *    *    *

As far as your friend goes, here is what I suggest: See if she’s willing to trade out her dream catchers in the bathroom for a hanging feng shui glass ball (you know the multi-faceted ones that look like they might be part of a chandelier) for a couple of weeks. See if she feels better and her energy improves. You can tell her that the glass ball sends away negative energy and brings more positive energy and light into her house.

Since there are so many factors that need to be taken into consideration with feng shui, and I’m not there to see what’s going on, the best thing is to try things out and see what effect they have.

I hope this is helpful. Contact me at contact@intuitivelearningcircle.com  if you have any more questions.

Blessings,

Rheanni Lightwater

Everyone can make mistakes. However, if someone has abused your trust repeatedly, do you just keep trusting them? Do you follow their lead blindly without questioning their authority? Once you discover you’ve been misled, do you let them get away with it?

The Status Quo would like for you to do just that when it comes to the mismanagement and downright dishonesty that they have repeatedly perpetrated on our economy and our nation. After all, they are too big to fail, so that automatically excuses everything. Right?

Yes, the old guard is pretty fearful of the prospect of really going in a new direction. Yet, because of the progress that has been made by many dedicated hearts, the beast is losing it’s balance and getting pretty bossy in its attempts to regain control. One of the tactics it is likely to try is to push the use of this Sacred Cow:

“Excuse people in positions of authority, regardless of whether or not they have abused our trust.”

I suggest that we nip this one in the bud because without justice, we will never be able to reclaim trust. And trust is what fuels a healthy economy.

You can start by cutting off the underlying Sacred Cows using the Soul Contract Circle with these affirmations:

“I release my agreement to trust the untrustworthy,”

and

“I release my agreement to put up with mismanagement.”

And

“I release any agreement I have to let them get away with it.”

Then, when you play today’s tipping  point game, imagine you can go back through the history of your ancestors. Think about all the traumatic experiences they went through on account of decisions that some unqualified crony made; wars, occupations, genocide, crusades, slavery, broken promises, lost jobs, abuse, mismanagement and so on. As the living heir of your family, exercise your authority and release all those agreements. See every last unjust appointment, treaty and decree burn away into nothingness. Then consciously make a new agreement to incorporate competence and honesty into a new direction.

Play All Sixteen Sacred Cows!

What do wardrobe colors, obsessing about oversized backpacks and lunch menu items for two high profile gradeschoolers have in common? All three are symptomatic of this Sacred Cow -

“Come up with distractions and pretend that something is important, when clearly it isn’t.”

Notice that each story has been suspiciously contrived, meant to irritate some of us and placate others.

Ever since I was a child in front of the black and white TV, I’ve been easily seduced by these kinds of irrelevancies. Either I thought it was cool and got sucked into the fantasy and glamour of it all, or I rebelled and got snotty and judgemental about chasing after the supposed “American Dream.”

What I’ve discovered is that it doesn’t really matter which reaction I choose. My thoughts, moods and state of mind are being controlled either way.

Recently, both my husband and I decided that it was better to avoid television and the mass media whenever possible for the sake of our sanity. It’s gotten so bad that even the pundits are reporting on how innane their own coverage is.

Don’t be fooled. This kind of confusion has a purpose. As long as you or I keep watching the circus, we have less energy and interest in what’s really going on.

If you are as tired of being taken for a ride as I am, use this symbol to release the social contract that states:

“The media establishment is in charge of how I see things.”

And then play our Sacred Cow Tipping Game to handle distractions, confusing and irrelevant information.

Soul Oriented Solutions – A Handbook of Quick Formulas to Use in Times of Emotional Crisis has been named as a Winner in the 2008 New Mexico Book Awards.

The Awards were founded in 2006 by local Albuquerque publishing leaders, Paul Rhetts and Barbe Awalt of the New Mexico Book Coop and are open to New Mexico authors and publishers or books with a New Mexico/Southwestern theme. 2008 Winners were announced at the Book Awards banquet on November 21st at the MCM Elegante Hotel in Albuquerque. A complete list of winners and their catagories is available at NMBook Awards.

Soul Oriented Solutions offers support for survivors of trauma, loss and abuse and those who work with them through powerful tools and techniques that calm the mind, heal the body and uplift the shattered spirit.

The formulas can be used in certain situations to manage long-term feelings of hopelessness. The three situations that are covered are:

1. Coping with serious illness or loss.
2. Stabilizing after experiencing a traumatic event.
3. Clearing an overwhelmed mind.

As a bonus, two extra Circles are included that give short term relief for shock and panic attacks. When used in combination, the graphs can help to alleviate post-traumatic stress and its accompanying symptoms including:

• Feeling fear about the future
• Over-dependence on drugs or alcohol
• Insomnia or nightmares
• Feelings of guilt or helplessness
• Uncontrollable crying
• Flashbacks
• Shock and feeling overwhelmed.

Soul Oriented Solutions is available to buy at the Soul Resources Online Bookstore.

Contact Rheanni Lightwater to speak to your organization or group at (505) 271-4612 or contact@intuitivelearningcircle.com.

The best way to deal with long-term symptoms of post-traumatic stress is to prevent it from happening in the first place. Obviously, one never knows when something traumatic might occur or where, however, there are ways of handling the situation once it has happened that can significantly reduce a person’s susceptibility to long-term feelings of hopelessness and alienation.

If you or someone you know has just been through a traumatic event, the best time to take steps to prevent PTSD is as soon as possible.

1. Combine encouragement with time to process the event.

The importance of combining positive input while realistically processing what has happened is an interesting balance. The key here is to “talk about it, but don’t dwell on it.” That way the patterns of shock, fear and hopelessness are dispelled before they get a chance to become habitual.

Formula # 2 in Soul Oriented Solutions offers one way to help those who have been overwhelmed by recent events by going through a process that will help to calm them down and focus in on what would genuinely help them.

Day 21 of 30 Days to Creating a Change in Direction

There are many good reasons why people have difficulty changing direction and some of them have to do with our Sacred Cows. The majority of these unconscious agreements are held in place by trauma. By far, the biggest cause of trauma is war and the cows that perpetuate it.

That’s why today’s Sacred Cow is:

“Treat people like commodities; use them up and then throw them away.”

Personally, I have suffered from many of the symptoms of post traumatic stress for most of my life:

• Feeling fear about the future
• Difficulty concentrating
• Frequent boughts of insomnia or nightmares
• Feelings of guilt or helplessness
• Uncontrollable crying
• Flashbacks
• Shock and overwhelm.

As a child, I had a horrible time getting along with others and school was a major struggle. I grew up with constant panic attacks and seemed to get myself in trouble no matter what I did.

It wasn’t until my mid-thirties that I realized my behavior was not due to just being a bad person. I had reasons for my apparent lack of control, and they were good ones. My father was a navigator in the Army Air Corps during World War II and the Korean War and had participated in countless bombing missions. When he came home, the U. S. Military gave him a couple of weeks R&R in the Carribean – no counseling and no opportunity to decompress from the horrors of war.

Needless to say, he was not ready to return and take up the role of “Father Knows Best”, the popular TV show of the time. He was moody, given to rages, migraines and had no patience for small children. I lived my preschool years in absolute fear of him and as a young adult, I rebelled and went out of my way to hurt him. It wasn’t until he was dying of cancer that I understood where the violence had come from; what had happened to our family and who was really responsible for it.

Before he passed away, my father shared his deep regret and guilt about killing so many people. The pain and remorse that he had been holding in was eating up his body and palpable on his face as he recounted wartime experiences that both humbled and horrified me at the same time.

I literally watched him go yellow and break out into a cold sweat while he detoxed a drug the military had given him in place of quinine as a “treatment” for malaria. Evidently the drug did nothing whatsoever to protect him or the thousands of other soldiers who took it from malaria, it was only intended to keep them on their feet no matter what. No wonder he turned into a workaholic and could never relax. The mass use of that drug may explain a lot about the health problems of many men of his generation – heart attacks, stoicism, emotional inaccessability, workaholism, alcolholism, not to mention cancer.

In his death, my father taught me something very important about post traumatic stress. He had spent his whole life running away from it, yet when he realized his time was running out, he began to accept what had happened and how frightened he had been. By providing him with a safe and loving place to talk, he was able to let it go emotionally, spiritually and physically. I know that by the time he passed away, he had made his peace with me and more importantly, with himself.

With him as an inspiration, I sought after a form of treatment that might be instrumental in breaking the cycle of war, abuse, learning disabilities and chronic health problems, and that is how the circles we use in our Tipping game came to be.

This set of Sacred Cows will not tip on their own. Please join me in playing this game.

Also, if you or someone you know if suffering from loss or post traumatic stress, you can download a copy of Soul Oriented Solutions, available on the Soul Resources website.
