Kuan Yin, the Goddess of Compassion

is helping us through these difficult times with advice and energy readings based on the I Ching, an ancient Chinese text that follows and predicts movements and energy flow in the cosmos.

The I Ching energy for the United States through March 20th is Hexagram #27 NOURISHING. However, the advice that is given can be useful at any time, for anyone seeking to make positive improvements in their lives:
“Exercise unrelenting discipline over your thought patterns. Cultivate only productive productive opinions and attitudes in order to properly nourish your character. If you are engaged in activity at this time, keep your mind as calm and relaxed as possible.” ~ The I Ching Workbook by R. L. Wing (Doubleday)

Nourishing Your Journey Into the New Paradigm

“Unfortunately, it can be difficult to keep a calm and relaxed mind when ingrained behavior patterns from the past are still being held in the collective mindset of your culture. Most people will say that they want to move forward towards peaceful prosperity, yet there are so few models in your media and social systems, everyone wonders, “how is that going to happen”?

It was only a little over a year ago when the U.S. was unified by the desire for change. Now many are frustrated and disappointed. Others are turning back in droves, looking for the false security that was fostered by the Old Paradigm. This split is being NOURISHED by the status quo with a negative tendency that still pulls at you – impatience.

As consummate consumers, America has been taught to jump from one method to another. If results are not immediate, it’s time to drop it and go out shopping for another method. They are looking for a easy and fast fix for some very old problems and they want it now.

Let us help you clarify what is required to pull you out of the quagmire and get you back on the road to living in the New Paradigm.

Making Choices that Support Happiness

Choice # One: Be Willing to be Open to New Methods and Ways of Operating

This is the first step and an important one. What ever you are willing to NOURISH within yourself is going to determine where you are heading at this time. If you are searching for and finding new methods to develop your own good qualities and are sharing them with others, you are feeding a willingness to align with the New Paradigm. What you must remember about this is that it is far better to make small steps in the right direction than it is to make dramatic, ego gratifying steps in the wrong direction.

Use this symbol for integrating positive, healthy energy to help you determine where you are in regards to WILLINGNESS.

Ask yourself these questions while looking at the symbol:

“Am I willing to try something new in order to live a happier life? If not, why not?”

“Do I still believe that fighting and struggle is the only way to create what I want?”

“If so, am I WILLING to change my mind?”

Choice #2: Have the Courage to Stick with the New Methods You Choose Long Enough To See if They Are Working for You

Results don’t happen overnight and if you are constantly changing course – going from one method to the next – you are actually hampering your own progress.

Many people think that impatience is a good way to get things accomplished and unfortunately for them, the exact opposite is true. Patience is a great virtue to NOURISH in yourself. A change of this magnitude (our Paradigm Shift) has to be taken step by step to effectively monitor how things are coming together. Courage is the motivator for the greatest changes in your history, and now is no different.

Use this symbol for COURAGE to see what kind of energy you are using to motivate you.

“Am I utilizing courage or fear when I face my daily challenges?”

“Am I being patient or impatient?”

“Am I willing to NOURISH patience and courage?”

If you are utilizing fear and impatience, realize that you will most likely give up on the possibilities for the future and turn back to the past looking for a safe and seemingly easier way to cope. This is an illusion. You can use this affirmation to help you:

“I release my dependence on fear and recommit to following the guidance of my spirit.”

Imagine that your fear is like a heavy old piece of luggage that you are still carrying around. See yourself dropping it and let it dissolve into nothingness.

Choice #3: Keep Choosing the Light, Rather Than the Dark.

The New Paradigm is based on the pure light of love and connectedness. If you are NOURISHING feelings of isolation or thinking only about yourself, gently redirect your attention towards people, attitudes and behaviors that support your better qualities.

How can you do that?

Use this symbol to fill yourself with light. Imagine that with every breath you are filling up your body with pure, white light. Doing this exercise will do more than most anything to help you get back on track. Remember, like attracts like, so if you are being the light, you will attract more of it.

“I am filled with the pure light of creation.”

“I release and dissolve the karmic pattern of using anger to get what I want.”

“I release karmic patterns from my mental continuum that would create terror in my mind or in the mind of anyone else.”

“I recommit to nourishing compassion and kindness for all beings, including myself.”

If you like, you can contemplate more specific behavior patterns that are causing you problems and dissolve them from your mental continuum now.

Even though you may not consciously be aware of what karmic pattern you are operating out of, this process will help you to release its grip on how you are responding to things in your life.

The energy of the cosmos finally left Hexagram #51 SHOCKING and went through a short period of Hexagram #21 REFORM. During the early part of October the underlying energies available to us went through a quick, yet significant shift and many people we know experienced a sudden change in their momentum, mood and ability to stay on track.

The current energy is that of #10 CONDUCT, which to me has meant that how I conduct myself is especially important. There are time when taking chances or risks with your health and resources is okay. The time of CONDUCT, which should continue through 11/11/09 is not such a forgiving time. For example, if you are speeding while driving, you are much more likely to get pulled over and receive a ticket. If you feel inclined to buck the system, you will probably get bucked back pretty severely. Adhering to established customs and modes of behavior will bring the best results during this time.

Here is what Kuan Yin has to say about CONDUCT. Her advice, as always, is direct and to the point…

“There is too much time being spent on issues that have no bearing on your future prosperity. A misunderstanding regarding your purpose may be the culprit. Many people in American Society have the thought that one’s “purpose” has to do with achievements in the material world. They seek satisfaction in having things and achieving recognition. External manifestations of this kind have long been a source of confusion.

If you want to know your purpose, you must look beyond the promotion or the expectations of your family.

How you CONDUCT yourself between now and November 11th will have a profound effect on your health and well being for the next several years.

If you have been abusing your body or overextending your mind, the energy of CONDUCT will assist you in making new choices that support love and happiness.

Take the time now to weed out behaviors that are causing you harm and eliminate them. If you feel you have no willpower, now is the time to reclaim it. The next three years will be a time when “enlightenment” is within reach for many, yet how you CONDUCT yourself now will bring either blessings or misfortune, depending on the choices made during this foundational time.”

So the question becomes – “What Are You Choosing and will it hurt or hinder?

You can evaluate the choices you’ve been making during the I Ching energy of CONDUCT using this Intuitive Learning Meditation.

Virtuous Conduct Strengthens Your Character and Helps You to Transcend Dangerous Situations

Align yourself with people who conduct themselves with honesty and concern for the well being of others. If you feel that you don’t know people who conduct themselves in this way, the times call for you to be more discerning about the company you keep.

When you find yourself in the position of having to make a choice, let the Inner Guidance of your heart and spirit lead you into gentler circles.

If you would like to strengthen the connection you have with people who will help you through these difficult times, you can play Re-alignment for the New Paradigm.”

What Are You Choosing

and will it Help or Hinder your Spiritual Progress?

The period of time between now and 2012 will provide optimum conditions to support those who wish to achieve Liberation or Enlightenment. Knowing what to do and what not to do is of major importance if you are seriously pursuing those goals. Sometimes we can be tricked into making choices that seem good on the surface, when they actually could cause harm. Following your true Spiritual Guidance is the remedy.

You can evaluate the whether the choices you make over the next couple of years will help you on your spiritual path or take you off track using Kuan Yin’s Intuitive Learning Game for Change:

Look at this Circle with a soft gaze and think of a project that you are putting a lot of energy into or one that you are planning to put into action.

Is there something that irritates you about this project?

Does your motivation and intention come from a place of love and respect?

If not, is there something you can do to change it for the better?

Using the same project, determine how you are nourishing it.  se the Intuitive Learning Circle to get clear about what kind of energy you are using and how efficiently to are using it.

“Am I having fun with this project?” “Am I working too hard?”

“Am I applying too much or too little of my energy?”

“Is my energy getting pulled away or drained? If so, why?”

Will this project contribute to your further enlightenment?

If not, release the belief that you can afford to invest in activities that are not beneficial to your greater well being.

You should now have a very good idea whether the project you are NOURISHING is going to either help or hinder your progress over the next two years.

Go through this very quick process with any other activities you plan to put into action in the near future.

Finish off by checking to see if there are any activities that you haven’t planted yet that would benefit you if you did.

By being extra careful during this time of NOURISHING, you will be feeding positive Karmic seeds that will help you in the future.”

Entering the New Paradigm

We are receiving help from Kuan Yin, the Goddess of Compassion, who is guiding us through the I Ching, an ancient Chinese text that follows and predicts movements and energy flow in the cosmos. Her advice as always, is direct and to the point.

Her I Ching Reading comes from the Fifth Line from HEXAGRAM 23 – DETERIORATION (Splitting Apart):

“An inferior situation is beginning to change for the better. Through co-operation, opposing forces can come together for mutual benefit. There is now a possibility for success in your endeavors.” ~ THE I CHING WORKBOOK by R. L. Wing

“A new energy of cooperation must be fostered in order for this change to come about. Look into your heart and see if you are willing to re-arrange your thinking a bit. The Old Paradigm was built on devision and separation. What is called for now is a WILLINGNESS to re-evaluate priorities and be open to new ideas. This is a gradual process – one that is considerate of others while remaining pragmatic and down to earth.

You are each contributing to the creation of a whole New Paradigm and what you do or don’t do has a significant impact on what is created next. Remember that the energy of SHOCKING is in effect for several more weeks.

Think of the time as if you were in a thunder storm, filled with lightening and great torrents of rain. If you are standing out in the middle of it, you must keep your wits about you in order to respond appropriately. If you shut down, you are in danger. If you panic, your decisions may lead you into even greater troubles. Many people are not used to listening to their hearts in situations like these. And yet, this is the best avenue you can take when dealing with SHOCKING times.

Use the Re-Alignment for the New Paradigm intuition exercise and this symbol to help you. Look at the Circle to below and think of a situation where you are struggling to find an appropriate response. You may feel stuck or shut down, or you may be emotionally driven to repeat an old behavior that you know from experience has not worked well.

Once you have the situation, go through the “Re-Alignment for the New Paradigm” exercise with the objective:

“I am open to new solutions when it comes to  ______________.” (fill in the blank with your situation)

The answers may not come to you immediately, yet if you stay centered, they will come.”

Kuan Yin’s I Ching Reading for August, 2009

We are receiving help from Kuan Yin, the Goddess of Compassion, who is guiding us through the I Ching, an ancient Chinese text that follows and predicts movements and energy flow in the cosmos. Her advice as always, is direct and to the point.

Currently we are moving through Hexagram #51 SHOCKING.  This is what she recommends…

“It is important that you accept the changing times and change with them. This means that certain habits and negative behaviors are bound to come to the surface over the next month and if you choose to put your head in the sand, you will miss one of the largest opportunities to heal your heart in this time of SHOCKING change.

Now is an opportune time to clear out confusing ideas and societal prejudices by going within and examining what is most important to you and make a firm determination to stay centered, even as chaotic forces are at their strongest.

Know that those who choose to use force or aggression to further their agendas will experience serious backlashes and setbacks during SHOCKING times. This is not the time to push ahead rashly, rather it is a time to step back and clarify your principles. Be certain that you are coming from a place of love and that you are clear about where your actions will lead you.

Preparing For A New Way of Manifesting

The Heavens have created an awesome moment to facilitate transformation and if you are wise, you will utilize it to it’s fullest. Rarely has there been the opportunity to shift your perception so easily as in this time. Take stock of the persons, places and things that bring you joy and consciously connect them like a diligent spider weaving a web of love. This will assist you in staying centered in the storm.

If you willingly follow and adapt your life according to those things that are naturally good, you will find that you can rid yourself of ancient abuses that have long sucked the spirit of humanity dry. In the wake of SHOCKING times, there is much progress that can be made.”

Kuan Yin’s “Realignment for a New Paradigm” is this month’s  special meditation.

Episode One – The Case of the Recalcitrant Petunias ~

My feng shui deva, Kuan Yin, has often told me that petunias are a physical embodiment of prosperity – they are colorful, soft, and even shaped like a cup to represent their ability to receive abundance. They emanate cooperation since they rarely interfere with other plants and are often used to enhance the feeling of being welcomed in a garden, a front door or porch.

Because of this natural receptiveness, I recently decided to plant a few white and pinks in a pot and place it in the recommended position on my front porch. The idea, of course, was to enhance my own sense of prosperity. The result was an interesting relearning of something I already knew. As with all feng shui remedies, a person’s individual attitudes, karma, and conditioning affects how the remedy works. And so it was with me.

What Works for One Person, Does Not Necessarily Work for Everyone.

I remembered that petunias were a favorite of my mother’s, and I have to say, she has been very good at attracting money and material wealth, so it seemed like a good idea. What I hadn’t taken into consideration was the fact that as a child, I had never really liked them. I found them to be too conventional and common. Not only that, I had always rebelled against the color pink. It seemed far too prissy for my tom-boyish personna. Then there was the attitude I grew up with towards my Mom. Simply put, if my Mom liked something or did something in a certain way, I was sure to rebel against it.

Needless to say my little pot, so carefully positioned, immediately began to fail. The copious flowers disappeared almost overnight and while I bemoaned my failure as a gardener, my lack of confidence began to spill over into other areas of my life. This isn’t what I had in mind!

Just as my negative self-talk was beginning to cause some real problems, I discovered a teeny, but extremely ravenous caterpillar devouring a new bloom. How could such a small creature have destroyed the petunia’s medicine so easily? I picked it off and wearily moved the pot to a place in the back yard where I thought caterpillars were unlikely to be. The position wasn’t particularly auspicious, but I hoped the new location might save the plant.

Over the next few days I did some healing work around my rebellious attitude towards my mother, petunias, the color pink and how I choose to receive prosperity. I was amazed at how interconnected my disharmony was.

I looked into this symbol that represents chigger medicine and let it help me uncover some unpleasant and counter-productive assumptions that were “bugging me” if you’ll pardon the pun. If you like, you can try it too. The process is pretty simple and it employs your intuition. That means that you look at the circle, ask the question and then take the very first answer that come to you. Not the second or third – just the first. These are the questions I used:

1. “When it comes to prosperity, what kind of person do I want to be?”

2. “In this situation, am I pushing too hard?

3. “Are my expectations realistic?”

4. “What can I do to change my attitude?”

Then Kuan Yin gave me a new Intuitive Learning Game, which she calls “Realignment for the New Paradigm.”

As It Is Within, So It Is Without

Is it really possible that my petunias could react negatively to my negative reactions? It think it is and that they did.

There’s a happy ending though, all the time that I was worrying about the store-bought petunias, unbeknownst to me, a beautiful, abundant wild patch of petunia-like flowers were busily blooming on the side of the house I rarely notice.

Things Often Come Into Being As a Natural Expression of Goodness

My request to enhance my sense of prosperity had been granted, only it hadn’t manifested in exactly the way I had expected. By accepting what was working and what wasn’t, I had found a configuration that suits my wilder, more independent ways.

Kuan Yin’s “Realignment for a New Paradigm” is this month’s  special meditation.

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

As you recall, Kuan Yin, the Goddess of Compassion is helping us through these difficult times with advice, divinations and energy readings based on the I Ching, an ancient Chinese text that follows and predicts movements and energy flow in the cosmos. Her advice as always, is direct and to the point.

Currently we are in transition between Hexagram #23 DETERIORATION (Splitting Apart) and Hexagram #2 NATURAL RESPONSE (The Receptive).  This is what she has to say…

“The forces of DETERIORATION have exhausted themselves in their grab for power. Over the last few months, in America, the energies of deterioration have been working on overdrive. Communities are suffering the effects of a deteriorating electro-magnetic field that your old way of life depended upon.

If you have been putting your attention on those things that are not working, life is probably very frightening to you.

We would suggest that it is much wiser to focus your attention on those things that are working and make a concerted effort to link them together in order to create a new electro-magnetic field. In that way, you are saving valuable effort that might be wasted on projects or infrastructures that have no hope of surviving the major environmental changes that are happening now.

Look around you and notice the businesses that are doing well. Notice the businesses that have not considered the importance of community and sustainability are falling like dinosaurs, for in a sense, that is what they are and no amount of money will resurrect them.”

Feng Shui Advice

“Do whatever you can to consolidate and simplify your lifestyle. In terms of feng shui the times dictate the necessity of simplicity in design. Reduce your accumulations.

We have asked Rheanni to disassemble all of the placement of objects in her home and we recommend that you do the same.

If you have family heirlooms or sacred objects, it is time to bring them down and let them rest. At the same time you would be wise to sort through and see if they are still bringing joy to you. If not, release them. If you hold on to objects that hold negativity or old patterns from the past at this time, it will have a very negative affect on your ability to adapt and move forward in your endeavors.

Changes will be coming fast over the next few years and the less you burden yourselves with accumulations, the easier it will be for you.

Do not stand like a museum – filled with monuments to the past, focus your attention instead on what you can do to help each other and use your resources wisely for the common good.

Once you have gone through the sorting process, you may choose to put some sacred objects up again. However, don’t be surprised if they are much fewer in number and want to be placed differently.”

Let Your Rooms Breathe and Receive

“The ego gets very attached to certain objects and even though you know in your heart that it would be better for you to let go, this part of your mind continues to grip to your detriment.

Many people are suffering unnecessary physical and emotional ailments at this time because they have not thought to clear their environment. You can think of it this way – your emotional, physical life is like a room with closets filled to the brim with things that you don’t use anymore and have completely forgotten about. There may be plenty of grand things waiting to enter, yet it cannot be because there is no room available to take them in.

Clear out your closets and rearrange your space. Make room to receive the new energy that is available to you.”

Advice for the Feng Shui Practitioner

“There are many practitioners, like Rheanni, who are working with specific energy fields and grids that support the return of the Sacred Feminine. These will need to be reset and adjusted to accomodate the incoming energy fluctuations. If you cling to what has worked before, and refuse to change, the effectiveness of your good works will be hampered.”

Feng Shui Practitioner – Heal Thyself

I took Kuan Yin’s suggestion and took everything down in every room of my home. It was quite a challenge for me because nearly every picture or object I still own has a sacred significance for me.

Way back in some closets, I came upon some family hand me downs that I hadn’t thought about in quite a while. I knew that they were emitting negative energy because I could feel it, yet I could still hear the excuses my ego was making to keep them around.

Finally, Kuan Yin suggested that I play her Simplicity Game with those objects in mind. What I found was very amazing to me. I lost the desire to hold on to those things and could finally get myself motivated to remove them. Once I did that, a tremendous surge of progressive energy moved through the house, releasing a lot of negative thought forms that I was unaware of.

The house feels lighter, our minds are quieter and business has improved. Yes, less is indeed more.

It totally goes against the grain to slow down and be choosy when you’re out of a job in the middle of an economic crisis, and yet, that is exactly the time when you would be best served to take some time and review what is going on with your career. Grasping at just anything isn’t likely to help much in the long run.

Michaelene of Sun 2 Soul Transitions has generously provided a Job Website Link Listing Service for those who are out of work or looking for online support as they go through this time of massive transition.

The page is called Angels on my Side and on it she has researched and listed all kinds of articles, job search sites, inspirational and miscellaneous related sites that could be very helpful to anyone who wants to make conscious choices about the new direction their lives are taking.

She has included Kuan Yin’s Simplicity Game and our Tipping Point Game called “Creating a Tipping Point for Economic Prosperity.”

Thank you, Micheaelane, for taking the time to put this wonderful resource together!
