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!

Right Livelihood

On July 18th and July 25th, I will be facilitating free introductory classes called “Embracing Your Right Livelihood” at The Source, 1111 Carlisle Blvd SE in Albuquerque. If you’re looking for a different way to approach your professional life, you might want to check Right Livelihood out. We’re starting at 11:00 am and going till 1:00.

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. Let’s see what she has to say this month…

“American society has interesting and conflicting views about the Truth. You say, “the Truth shall set you free” and yet your actions often belie the statement.

The fear of the Truth is the subject of our reading and the Hexagram from the I Ching that conveys the energy of the cosmos at this time is #35 Progress. We are moving out of Hexagram #23 Deterioration where major aspects of your society have come face to face with defeat, yet that is not necessarily a bad thing.

If you have been paying attention to the media and believing that you have no options, you will disregard the underlying changes that have appeared for the better. If you, instead, will listen to the messages from your heart you will understand that indeed, Progress is being made.

Remember that the forward movement of humanity is not dependent upon false ideas about money and returning to the “good old days.” You know intuitively that the time for new answers is upon you.

Communication is the key and here I will quote from the I Ching Workbook by R. L. Wing:

“Communication is now of vast importance during a time of rapid PROGRESS. It is wise for you to stay in close touch with all levels of your social world. Monitor the needs of others and be supportive of progressive improvements. Take an active part in the affairs of society now in order to refine and enhance your inner worth.”

What Will Help During this Time?

Learn to stop identifying with the small mind for it would like you to believe that the Truth is something to be afraid of.

What if you stopped trying to control the Truth and made it a friend? Could you allow it to be more of a guide and objective force of Nature than something to be avoided or denied?

If you are unhappy, what is the harm in accepting the Truth and then taking steps to rectify it? Perhaps some may feel that there would be some form of punishment involved in finding a solution.

I would suggest that there is more suffering involved in denying or avoiding the Truth than there is in coming clean. The opportunities for reform are great and far reaching at this time, yet the opportunity is lost when the Truth cannot or will not be discerned.

Make a Pact With Your Spirit

Choose to follow Truth and forgive yourself unconditionally for any error or misunderstanding you may be holding in your small mind. Allow your heart and spirit to soften the harsh words you have for yourself and others. All are caught in the illusion of the small mind and you can help by removing your voice from the cacophony of accusations.

Your smile and gentle words will accomplish more in this time than forceful or punitive measures. Give yourself permission to reform your strength of character. Allow the the energy of the cosmos to influence your understanding of the human condition. Then, when you can see the seeds of discontent within yourself as well as others, you will know the true meaning of compassion.

Holding grudges against yourself and others is not productive and distracts from the true possibilities.

If you fear certain decisions that will set you free, allow your hope for the future to relax you and show you the way forward.

Release any agreement to be hard on yourself or others.”

Tips For Making Friends With The Truth

“Truth Knows No Master”

If your life has become too complex, play the Simplicity Game I have provided for you. The Truth is much easier to perceive when extraneous elements are removed.

Perhaps you have allowed some simple benefit to be ignored. Now is the time to become aware of it and embrace it for your higher good. Meditate on this symbol and place it in your home, someplace where you can see it often. As you look at it, ask yourself, “What benefits am I turning away from?” For most of you, there are many. Resolve to change your attitude towards them and accept them as gifts.

The small mind would prefer that you forget the gentler movements of the cosmos because it is addicted to dramatic and apocalyptic visions. Release your agreement with those visions and allow your heart and soul to guide you. Let yourself be supported by the emerging energy of Progress.”

Grounding in the New Paradigm

Kuan Yin has been helping us to transition from the old paradigm to a new paradigm of sustainable prosperity.

Her advice springs from the I Ching, an ancient book of divination that follows the flow of the cosmos. Because of that, her advice and instruction comes from a different perspective than ours.

Kuan Yins I Ching Readings

To help you better connect with her  assistance, she uses Intuitive Learning Circles to communicate with you through meditation, affirmations and visualization.

These Circles and Charts will help you to identify problems, change your focus to positive solutions, ground yourself and get in the present. Simply relax and gaze at them while contemplating Kuan Yins  words. Your intuition will come forward and give you the help that you seek.

The I Ching Reading for March 

Hexagram #23 DETERIORATION (Splitting Apart)

Identify the problem

“If you are feeling hopeless, it is because you are focusing on what is falling apart rather than that which is being built.

There is a great and accelerated deterioration in matters that pertain to the old Status Quo. Do not focus your eyes and senses towards them because there is little that you can do in the arena of the old economy.

Focus Your Attention on Positive Solutions

Focus instead upon the new grids of prosperity that are already growing like flowers throughout your country. Like a plant, they need your attention and loving intentions to help them grow and be strong.

If you are a person who is building one of these new flowers, take the time now to fully disengage from that which is disintegrating around you.

Ground Yourself

Step into the new garden of sustainable prosperity and make sure the flower that is your business and service to the community is fully planted in the new garden.

Don’t assume that you have completed the replanting of your energy and livelihoods because aspects have been entrenched in the old until just recently.

Visualize

See your business endeavor as a flower. What kind of flower does it seem to be like?

With this symbol, imagine that you can send it love and light and all the elements required for life to flourish.

When you are grounded in hope rather than fear, the trajectory of your efforts to prosper has no other choice than to head in the direction of your highest good.

Taking the time now to replant yourself fully in the garden of hope will prevent future mishaps and conflicts.”

The Goal of your economic system has been, up until this point, purely the acquisition of money. Today marks the beginning of a new era where money will eventually find its proper place.

In the new system, the Goal of Balance becomes primary as that is the only frame of existance that can support life on a long-term basis.

Much needs to be done, yet your recent freedom from the bondage of your old ways can help you make the change.

It has been mentioned before that there are new chalices to contain the flow of prosperity. Some are still very much attached to the old chalice, which I will call “Greed”. When making your way to the new chalices, you will have better luck if you can understand how you have been out of balance and what to do to regain it.

As you make the transition from Greed to Balance it is of great importance that you don’t confront or struggle with opposing forces and as a result become emotionally involved with what is, actually, a futile situation. If you remain entangled with these forces you will not be able to make progress.

Listen to your heart and let it give you a song that will help you to remain on track and in balance.

Think of your new life as a garden that you will be tending differently. To train your mind to make appropriate adjustments, consider using the Games for Hope Series.

Each game will help you to set up and nurture your new garden using the new chalices of prosperity.

“Bring Balance Into Your Life and Prosperity Shall Be Yours”
