Finding Moderation In the New Paradigm
Do You Feel Overwhelmed About What’s Next? Finding Moderation is the Key to Navigating Extremes.
Kuan Yin has been helping us to transition from the old paradigm based on greed and extremism to a new paradigm of equality, peaceful co-operation and balanced prosperity. Her advice about finding moderation springs from the I Ching, an ancient book of divination that follows the flow of the cosmos. Because of that, her insight comes from a different perspective than ours.
Kuan Yin’s Readings and Transformation Games can help you to identify problems, change your focus to positive solutions, ground yourself and get in the present. Simply relax and gaze at the Circles while contemplating Kuan Yins words. Your intuition will come forward and give you the help that you seek.
Welcome to the I Ching Reading and Transformation Game for: Hexagram # 15 – Finding Moderation
“In times of difficulty and danger, it’s usually best to move with the flow of MODERATION, Hexagram #15, where ‘The predominant forces … are in the process of balancing extremes and harmonizing interests.’ ~ The I Ching Workbook, R.L. Wing, Random House, NYC, NY, 1979
The ancient Chinese text describes finding MODERATION as the best way to make progress amidst chaos. The suggestion is to disengage from confusing extremes or opinionated attitudes and instead, follow the guidance that comes from within. In almost any situation, if you are able to walk the middle road between extremes, there will be improvement in whatever you undertake.”
Finding Moderation and Following that Path ~
As a general rule, MODERATION is the most sensible flow to follow, especially since so much chaos is playing out in the wake of environmental, political and social change. The karma for deeply held misunderstandings and conflicts has been activated and people are dealing it in a variety of ways.
Most people are navigating through one or another of these general karmic patterns:
- Getting pulled into a negative mental, emotional, physical or spiritual decline.
- Stubbornly stuck in willful indifference or self-righteous denial.
- Elevated by greed, hatred, resentment or revenge.
- Getting scattered or lost survival patterns from the past, or
- Pulling themselves together into a centered position of balance and stability.
Initial Evaluation: As you softly gaze at this Circle, see which of these patterns you are currently experiencing. Ask yourself:
“Am I generally experiencing pattern #1, 2, 3, 4 or 5?”
It could easily be a mix, depending on your mindset and what stage of the karma you’re living through.
Regardless of what’s happening, you can make your life easier by letting go of old agreements or karma that’s over and done with. This game will help you do that.
First, Let’s Address Conflict that’s Caused by Collective Shock.
Let’s face it. The past decade has been filled with one jarring event after another. Consequential changes are happening daily. Give yourself and others a break by realizing that you might be caught in a reactive pattern because you’ve received so many repeated shocks to your system. See what happens if you look at this Circle and relax for a minute or so. Breathe deeply and imagine that the conflicts in your mind are melting away like ice melting under the light of the Sun.
You may find that your attachment to those reactive patterns could melt away as well!
Mind Body Integration
For best results, look at each symbol both crossed over the midline of the body and uncrossed so that the correction is more complete.
Feel free to move at any time in any way to help you embody your experience!
The Underlying Structures of Our Lives Are Changing Rapidly.
From wildfires to hurricanes and power outages to socio/political chaos, it’s important to acknowledge the continuous and ongoing effect that the stress is having on us. Use this Circle to help you deconstruct the recurring karma and close up any drains that are exhausting you.
“I shut down all drains that are causing me to lose energy.”
“I deconstruct harmful habits and holes in my energy field.”
Finding Moderation in Your Emotional Responses.
Release Your Attachments to the Old Paradigm.
The old status quo was built on extreme and oppressive social, religious and moral dogmas that used force and fear to control others. Most of us are still tapping into that divisiveness in one way or another because we’ve been wired to react to events out of defensiveness (fear), attack (outrage) or submission (giving up).
It would be wise to detach from those ways of handling ourselves because they have lost their ground. To find out if you’re still giving them power, ask yourself:
“Am I unconsciously tapping into extreme emotions?”
Remember, emotions are just energy in motion. They are not solid things and they aren’t who you are! Let this Soul Prayer Chart help you find the flow of harmful emotions that are running through your mind so that you can effectively detach from them.
The recent change from the Piscean Age (Water) to the Aquarian Age (Air) has caused some instability in how we process our thoughts and emotions. You can decide that your response to events can be more Air based than Water based. Here are some suggested affirmations to use with this diagram:
“I decide to bring my intuition and common sense into balance.”
“I lead with sensible thought rather than emotional reactions.”
“I do my best to keep my mind positive and my intention clear.”
My wellbeing is important and I decide to stay balanced and moderate my responses.”
Release Codependent Behaviors.
Protect Yourself from Being Dumped On or Scapegoated.
In times of increased conflict and instability, it’s common for people who want to avoid responsibility to systemically dump their issues, problems and karma onto others who they hope will accept the blame.
You don’t have to accept the blame anymore. Send those issues back – to each their own!
People who have a tendency to take on other people’s problems are often mistakenly organizing their life around the problem and being “the fixer.”
If you’ve been trained that you need to be liked or to fix things when other people are unhappy, you can trap yourself by taking on more than your part of a difficult situation. You can clarify this by asking yourself these questions:
“What is my part in this situation? What am I actually responsible for?”
“Is my desire to help joyful, or has it become twisted in some way?”
If it’s twisted, relax with the Circle and let it unwind. Now you can find moderation in what’s motivating you.
“What action could I take in this situation that would actually be helpful?”
When we buy into codependent behaviors, we are inadvertently complicating matters and preventing things from working themselves out in a simpler, more direct way.
To help you set things right, use this symbol with the affirmations to release attachments to the malaise of codependent and destructive behavior:
“I let go of attachments and blame. I detach from sticky, toxic energies.”
I create autonomy and resilient optimism.”
Like a healing balm, imagine that a loving coat of peace and comfort is pouring down over you!
This Correction Key will also help. Use these positive affirmations:
“I correct or move past reversals, blockages and jagged energies.”
“I have a clear and direct connection with my Soul.”
Let Go of Harmful Karmic Agreements and Energies.
Use this Soul Contract Circle to help you identify and release any social, familial or religious agreements that prevent you from being present for yourself or that pull you out of balance. Simply gaze softly at the Circle while you use the affirmations.
“I release any agreement that says I’m powerless or have no choice.”
“I release all agreements to allow myself to be shamed, blamed or manipulated in any way.”
“I let go of my agreements to stay stuck in or comply with harmful behaviors associated with the old paradigm.” (extremism, slavery, deceit, greed, prejudice, intimidation, control, manipulation, dishonesty, people pleasing, etc.)
“I stay away from _____________.” “I can say ‘no’ to ___________.”
“I clarify my priorities and communicate them directly, with kindness.”
“I have autonomy over my body, my mind, my energy and how I use them.”
Let Go of Intentions That You Don’t Need Anymore.
Release yourself from intentions with family, friends or business relationships that cause conflict and block your ability to move forward freely. Consider old jobs, organizations you’ve been involved with – religious institutions, political agendas, completed projects, hobbies, places you’ve lived, modes of transportation, ways of communicating or doing business, etc.
“I let go of out-dated, extreme or conflicting intentions that are harmful to me.”
What intentions will actually serve you now? Do they need to be clarified, simplified or re-organized? What do you need to have happen for yourself?
“My intentions are moderate, helpful and life affirming.”
Unearth Old Emotional Garbage and Karmic Patterns.
Use this symbol for Dissolving Destructive Blueprints to identify and release any mental or emotional patterns that are causing you harm. See the Light opening up so that you can surrender them:
“I gather destructive patterns or energies and release them to the Light.
I dissolve my connection to them, so that they may be set free and transformed.”
Please note: Never send pain or harmful energies into the Earth to be neutralized, she already has too much to handle now. Use the Earth for planting seeds of life, health and happiness – not death, illness and unhappiness!
Close the Door on Harmful Paths or Unnecessary Suffering.
Finish this part of the game by closing the door on harmful activities, agendas and pathways that lead back to unhealthy patterns. Take all the time you need. There are probably a lot of them.
“All doors and pathways that lead to suffering are sealed and healed.”
“I follow the direction of my Soul’s protection.”
Congratulations! You will probably want to take a short break to move around and let all this integrate. Come back in a few minutes, so you can apply all this newfound freedom to your future!
Refocus Your Energy to Clarify Your Priorities.
Visualize what’s truly important to you in the center open space of this Circle. Do you feel uncentered? Is your energy scattered? If so, take a moment to center yourself in your solar plexus area and aim your energy in the center open space like a bull’s eye.
“I center myself and consciously direct my energy towards truly beneficial activities and priorities.”
Don’t forget to include appropriate rest, fun and relaxation!
Recalibrate Your Energy to Truly Support What You Need Now.
Devote your energy to finding MODERATION in how you use your energy.
“I connect with my Heart Center and am guided by my true Spiritual Source.”
“I exist and am empowered to create a hopeful future and ________.”
Finish by Invoking Protection and Clarity of Mind:
Gaze softly at this symbol for Divine Protection and generative life force in the New Paradigm.
“I close down all harmful energy channels from the past.”
“My mind is open and clear to receive generative life force.”
“I learn to utilize the generative flow of chi’ to successfully manifest and communicate.”
Welcome to the Middle Road! You probably feel much more balance. Go back to the Initial Evaluation for the game and see what has changed.
If you feel complete, congratulations! Go out for a walk to integrate and get grounded.
If you feel incomplete, you can continue to the Extra-intuitive Activities part of this process and let go of a few extreme collective mindsets that can get in the way of finding MODERATION:
There are several other decisions to explore that might really improve how you’re dealing with your situation.
Extreme #1: The need to be liked and approved of by others.
Here is the prime example, ‘Being liked = being important and having purpose.’ You might want to let go of that, because this is a terrible time to base your self-worth on how other people react to you.
“I decide that my worth comes from within. I let go of the need for approval.”
“I build my relationships out of sincere goodwill from my heart, not from projected expectations of self-importance.”
Extreme #2: The ‘more is better’ ‘faster is better’ or ‘bigger is better’ syndrome.
For example: The Sun is good, however too much Sun causes cancer. Butter is good, yet too much butter causes weight gain, etc. Another social meme that explains the mindset is: ‘The sky is the limit. I want it all now, so I should be able to have it all now!’
“I am clear about who I am and what’s in my best interest.“
“I decide that clear, MODERATE limits enhance my wellbeing.”
Use this Circle like a mirror and clear away any markings or old graffiti that obscure the pure energy signature of your Soul.
Extreme #3: The ‘I’m not doing enough/doing too much” dichotomy.
Finding MODERATION means putting in just the right amount of effort to get the desired result. Think Goldilocks – not too much and not too little… just right.
If you’re uncomfortable because you’re feeling blocked or scattered, there may be a good reason. Do you know what it is? Suddenly heading off into fifteen different directions will probably backfire on you badly.
If you’re sending your energy in too many directions, stop and regain your center. Thoughtful consideration about what you really need is what’s most important now.
“What do I really need to focus on right now? What will help me do that?”
Congratulations!
Now that you’ve made choices about finding moderation you can bring order and new happiness into your environment!”
For many people, finding MODERATION signifies an opportunity to go within and expel deep patterns of fanaticism within their psyche so that they can evolve and arise from that pattern, much as a beautiful lotus arises from the muck and mire at the bottom of a pond.”

Learning from Danger
Increase Your Awareness by Learning from Danger
Kuan Yin has been helping us through these Transformation Games to transition from the old economic paradigm based on greed and fear to a new paradigm of co-operation, equality and balanced prosperity.
Today, her advice about learning from danger 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.
To help you better connect with her assistance, she uses the Intuitive Learning Circles to communicate with you through meditation, affirmations and visualization.
Mind Body Integration
For best results playing a Transformation Game, look at each Circle both crossed over the midline of the body and uncrossed so that the correction is more complete.
Kuan Yin’s I Ching Readings and Transformation Games can help you to identify problems, change your focus to positive solutions, ground yourself and get in the present. Simply relax and gaze at the Circles while contemplating Kuan Yins words. Your intuition will come forward and give you the help that you seek.
Welcome to the I Ching Reading and Transformation Game for: Hexagram # 29 – Learning from Danger
“There are times when none of our efforts to solve a problem have been effective and the way out of DANGER is blocked. Often, all that you may do is wait. Yet, even when that is the case, there are still things that you can do to become more aware of yourself by learning from DANGER…
‘Frequent encounters with DANGER are a part of life. Beyond making you inwardly strong, familiarity with DANGER, like the near brush of death, can instill in you a profound awareness of the life force and the mysterious nature of the cosmos. Such heightened awareness can bring new meaning, determination and richness into your life.’ ~The I Ching Workbook, R.L Wing
Generally, the text from Hexagram #29 talks about DANGER that exists in your immediate environment. Responding correctly is really about Right Action – knowing when and how to take action with clarity of mind. Sometimes it’s best to take minimal action or do nothing at all. Awareness and keeping your wits about you are really the keys.”
Learning from Danger – A Transformation Game
This Game uses the Intuitive Learning Circles to help you gain a deeper understanding of the dangers facing you. You may know that something’s wrong and not be able to specify the details of what you need to be aware of. This game can help you identify it. Or, you may have awareness of the danger, but not know what to do about it. In addition, your desires could be leading you into danger time and time again and you’re not learning from it. You can use this game to explore what that’s about and see if there’s something you can do to transcend the habit.
Step One: Access Your Gut Instincts.
Simply relax and gaze softly at this Reiki Chakra Key to open and balance your Third Chakra located at your Solar Plexus (the soft area in the front where your ribs go up).
In times of danger, it’s not unusual for the chakra system to get pulled out of balance. Let this Soul Star Detachment Key help you clear your energy field of toxins. Relax and mend any energetic wounds that are associated with toxic materials such as smoke, chemicals, heavy energies or viruses.
Like a healing balm, imagine that a loving coat of peace and comfort is pouring down over you.
Step Two: Balance Your Senses.
When DANGER is present, It’s essential to see things as they really are. See if you can remedy any “blind spots” or confusion by gazing softly at this Reiki Chakra Key for the five senses, together with these positive affirmations:
“I reclaim and balance my five senses.”
“I use them to be present and make sense of my current conditions and environment.”
“They help me to clear blind spots and confusion.”
“I use them to be aware of DANGER and find helpful solutions.”
“I sense things as they are really happening.”
Note: You may want to go back up to the Chakra Key for Detachment to strengthen the clearing action.
Step Three: Connect with Your Instinctual Nature.
Tune into your psyche, your instincts and your connection to the natural world. Make a commitment to pay attention to signals from Nature and learn to respect the power of Mother Earth’s energies.
“I connect with my natural instincts, my timing and Soul resources.”
“I pay attention to my environment and allow it to inform me about elements of concern.”
Step Four: Slow down.
Danger often comes from being in too much of a hurry and trying to push our way through. Sometimes, it’s the opposite – we’re not taking action when we know in our hearts that it’s in our best interest to do so!
Gaze softly at the Circle to help you slow down and unwind any confusion around what’s really important. Take several deep breaths. Keep inhaling and exhaling until you’ve relaxed and your mind has slowed down.
“I slow down and allow my true priorities to reveal themselves.”
Step Five: Uncover Your Awareness of the Danger.
Gently contemplate this Circle that accesses your intuition and unconscious awareness of a danger you are facing now. Imagine that you can gather up that inner library of experience and see what kind of knowledge comes forward.
Take your time and let the information emerge. Ask yourself:
“What is the real danger about? Is something about to happen? Is there anything or anyone in my environment that is dangerous to me or others? If so, where are they and what affect are they having?”
“How much harm is this situation causing for me and for others?”
“Are there any extreme or narcissistic behaviors that I need to be aware of?
“Am I returning to harmful energy patterns from the old paradigm that are interfering with my ability to handle this situation to my best ability?”
“Is anyone trying to exert control over me or my environment?”
“Is there some kind of negative influence hovering over one of my projects?”
“Am I allowing my emotional reactions to pull me out of balance?”
“If so, how is that affecting me?”
“Does that tendency put me in any DANGER?”
It can help to remember that emotions are merely energy in motion and they don’t belong to anyone. They just exist.
Whatever you decide about an emotion or group of emotions is what gives you agency over them. If you decide that you have authority over how you respond to emotions you also have power over your actions and the consequences of those actions.
If you decide that you are powerless over emotions, you are like a rudderless boat in a sea of chaos.
Six Six: Ask for Empowerment from Your Source.
Empower your ability to respond to emotional energy and the DANGER that may be present in an effective way.
Use Divine Connection from Soul Prayer Charts to tap into the personal power that comes from your Source.
“I exist and am empowered to control my actions for my protection and benefit.”
“I come from a place of Gratitude and Joy, rather than fear or vengeance.”
Step Seven: See it Calmly and With Discernment.
First, let’s make a couple of corrections that will improve your awareness of your situation…
Is any part of you getting caught up in harmful power games? If so, breathe deeply and gaze at this DNA symbol from Kuan Yin. The more relaxed you are, the better these work. Use the positive affirmations to help:
“I let go of harmful manipulations and power ploys.”
“I decide to accept responsibility for my own decisions.”
If you’re having trouble seeing your way or understanding the DANGER, relax with this symbol.
“I cut through the smoke screen that blocks clear perception.”
Do you have a tendency to make things harder than they need to be? If so, imagine a wall of thorny tangles surrounding you and blocking you in.
Then, just imagine them dissolving or melting away..
Remember to relax and gaze at the symbol softly, both crossed and uncrossed over the midline of your body for best results.
“I release thorny complications and conflicts.”
“I stop trying to make things more complicated than they are.”
“I decide to allow simple solutions for my problems.”
“I am open to and embrace simplicity.”
Imagine that you are surrounded with a soft blanket of protection.
“I receive a divine sense of safety from the Divine Masculine and Feminine In all aspects of my life.”
Imagine that a beautiful, golden DNA strand is connecting in with your heart, giving you strength and resilience. Keep relaxing with these affirmations:
“I ask the Divine Feminine and Masculine to assist me in times of
fear and violence.”
“I hold the victory of Love in mind.”
Step Eight: Dissolve Destructive Blueprints.
Imagine that the symbol below can help you clear destructive patterns that may be blocking or threatening you. Lift them completely off of you and send them to the Light.
“I dissolve the dangerous imprints of ________ and any connection I have ever had to them. I clear my field of destructive habits and the mental / emotional patterns that cause them. I send them all to the Light.”
Please note: Never send destructive energies into the Earth, she already has too much to handle now. Use the Earth for planting seeds of happiness and life – not death!
Step Nine: Apply Clear Perception to What’s Happening Now.
The DANGER may be upsetting. Don’t get carried away (remember that viruses and other destructive energies feed off of strong emotions).
So, breathe with this Circle and let it help you adjust the volume and bring your senses back to a comfortable level. They could have bumped up too high, too loud or intense. If it helps, you can use these affirmations:
“I calm down and get back into balance. I connect with my common sense. I perceive things as they are.”
Step Ten: Adapt to the Changes In Your Environment.
This symbol provides an interface and filter to assist us in making the functional transition from the old paradigm of Water (Piscean Age) to the New Paradigm Air (Aquarian Age).
“I close down any harmful energies that I might still be open to. I have Divine Protection.”
“I am open to receiving generative life force. I connect with new, improved
lines of communication. I am learning to apply this beneficial energy to my life.”
This would be a good time to take a break. Get some water. Walk around. Stretch. Let this integrate before you continue…
Step Eleven: Clarify the Right Action(s) to Take.
Use this Circle to help you identify possible solutions that you can honestly take upon yourself without placing yourself in further, unnecessary danger. Explore different scenarios until you find a response that makes sense.
“What is an action I could take that would be genuinely helpful to me?”
“Is there something in particular that I need to refrain from?”
“Is there something else I need to learn from danger in this situation?”
“What else do I need to nourish myself appropriately?”
Make a note of the suggestions that come. Times of danger can be filled with distractions that make it easy to forget.
‘Am I centered and putting out the kind of intention that will bring the results I really want?”
If not, use this affirmation with the Circle and see if you can change it:
“I put out __________ in alignment with my highest good and __________ is returned to me.”
Step Twelve: Repair and Refocus Your Auras.
At the end of a game like this, it’s important to make sure that any holes or tears in your auras are repaired and refocused, especially when there are so many chaotic toxins floating around!
“My auras are sealed, repaired and refocused.”
“The healing protection for my body is strengthened.”
Gaze at this chart both crossed and uncrossed over the midline of your body to make sure they are completely repaired.
Step Thirteen: To manage yourself well in dangerous times, be sure that you are grounded and centered in the New Paradigm.
Get your feet on the ground and connect with the positive energy of Mother Earth.
Step Fourteen: Close the Doors to Actions that Would Invite Further Danger.
Your unconscious mind knows what’s helpful and what’s harmful to your body, mind and spirit. It’s time to close the door on any harmful pathways that are still open in your mind. See them disappear, as if they were never there.
“All harmful pathways are sealed and healed.”
“I follow the direction of my Soul’s protection.”
Congratulations on your newfound awareness about learning from danger!
“The time of DANGER can be especially good for inner development. By holding to fixed and virtuous ethics, by maintaining your inner vision and ideals, all things fall into a steady, tangible perspective. You will know your relationships to your environment, and in this way you can accomplish your aims. Although subjective, this perspective is now in accord with the problems facing you.” ~The I Ching Workbook, R.L Wing

Clear Perception – a Mind Exercise
Intuitive Guidance Using the Loyalty and Clear Perception of Dog Medicine:
Your gut instinct is an awesome inner guidance system and has access to all kinds of information that you’re not consciously aware of. The only trick is that you need to be paying attention! Luckily, you can learn to use Dog Medicine with this Mind Exercise to hone your intuitive abilities and develop clear perception about where you’re heading.
This symbol accesses inner guidance about protection. Gaze at it softly and ask:
“Am I heading in the right direction?”
If the answer you get is “yes,” you don’t need this particular exercise right now.
If you don’t get a clear answer because your mind has gone blank, you would be wise to go through Formula #1 Healing Emotional Shock first, and then come back to this one.
However, if your answer is a clear “no,” take some time out of your schedule and go through this Mind Exercise. A few minutes now could save you a lot of time and trouble later!
First, a word about environmental changes and getting a grasp on the larger picture…
Most people know on a conscious level that a major shift has occurred. However, the unconscious mind may still be operating as if everything’s still the same.
In order to ADAPT effectively, it helps to have signs and maps to assist us as we update our minds to navigate through the new terrain. That is the reason and purpose for all the symbols and Intuitive Learning Circles on this site.
For example, if you meditate on the “map” available in this image, your mind can get a better grasp of how it can reorganize your energy in the New Paradigm we’ve entered…
This is an imprint for “Common Ground for the Common Good” based on peaceful cooperation, equality and balanced prosperity. This template encourages us to work with the Planet, rather than against her.
If You Want To Navigate Your Journey with Clear Perception, You Need to Know When You’re Heading in the Wrong Direction and What To Do About It ~
There are several reasons why you might be unconsciously heading in the wrong direction.
For example, your senses may have gotten all knocked out of balance.
With so much going on, it’s easy to be distracted and confused by all the intense change and contradictions that are going on around you.
Fortunately, dog energy works incredibly well to help you with your inner guidance system – warning you to slow down and get your feet back under you.
Gaze softly at this Reiki Chakra Key to get your bearings again. Take a minute or two to consciously gather up all your senses and really connect with them for greater awareness.
Another possibility could be that your energy is having a difficult time adjusting to all the significant environmental changes that are taking place. Sudden reversals, blockages and changes in momentum can cause our subtle energy fields to react in unusual ways.
This Correction Key can help you correct any rough glitches or reversals that you may be experiencing in your energy field.
Relax with it for a few minutes until things smooth out and you feel more like yourself again.
Be sure to do that both crossed and uncrossed over the midline of your body.
Your senses could be turned up too high or too low.
That often happens during conflicts or other times when our emotions get out of balance. When we spend too much time in the watery depths, we can start to fantasize about how we would like things to be, rather than acknowledging how they actually are.
It’s natural to do that, however, we need to be able to pull back into the here and now so we can get back on track.
Imagine you can use this Circle to adjust the volume for all your senses, especially your intuition! Breathe in and relax. Take all the time you need.
You don’t want to miss some important information or an opportunity that you need to take advantage of. Dog medicine is here to tell you that something really important is happening right now and you need to be paying attention!
Connect to the new flow of Chi’ based on the Element of Air. Before you continue, let this symbol help you make changes and connect with the generative energy flow of Air in the New Paradigm.
“I close down harmful energy channels from the past.”
“I adapt to the positive flow of chi’ available in the New Paradigm
to the best of my ability.”
“I connect with new, life affirming channels of communication.”
Your energy may be scattered because you’ve been so stressed. So much is going to change. Because of that, your timing could be off, causing you to jump ahead before it’s a good idea to do so.
Take a moment and bring yourself back into the present. Open and close your hands, take a look at the date and time. Remember your name, the city you’re in or how old you are. Doing these things can really help you get present and aware of what’s actually going on around you.
Once you feel present, ask yourself:
“Am I jumping to any conclusions about my situation?”
If your answer is “yes,” stop and reconsider before you make any moves. Retrace your steps and see where the error is.
Taking steps one at a time is essential whenever you’re in unfamiliar territory! What else might you need to be aware of?
You may have gotten disconnected from your true Self and instinctual nature.
Use the Circle to help you reconnect so that you can get back in touch with your gut instincts, your environment and the things that really matter.
Once you feel connected again, ask yourself:
“Am I getting instinctual messages about things I’m doing or not doing?”
“Is there any part of me that’s holding onto old energy, operating out of falsehoods or keeping me unhappy?”
If your answer is “yes” to that last question, it would be wise to stop and follow the guidance you get if you can.
Finally, your energy could be misdirected. We can use intuition to guide us properly, or we can misuse it by giving into wishful thinking, illusion, paranoia or buying into the agendas of those who would love to sell us up the river with false claims.
Do you sense any holes that you’re about to fall into? Is there an old habit that needs to be deconstructed or something that’s draining your energy?
When your intuition and instinct are in balance, you have a much better chance of catching things that you really need to watch out for.
Having clear perception alerts you when something really important is happening that you need to be paying attention to!
So, before you step into the great unknown, it would greatly behoove you to take a few more minutes to go through this centering exercise, Develop Clear Perception. This is where you can make friends with dog energy to get all kinds of insight and guidance as you take your next steps.
Slow Down and Get Your Feet Firmly Planted On the Ground ~
Gaze softly at the center open space of this Circle while you go through a few positive affirmations. If there’s a question, just be open to your gut response.
“I slow down because things may be moving too fast for me to sense the truth.”
“I’m willing to admit I don’t know what’s going on. Asking for help is a blessing.”
“Is my inner guidance sending me a warning?”
“Do I need to let go of something? Change something?”
“Do my instincts want to redirect my attention to a solution or something else?”
“In either case, am I willing to listen and learn?”
You may be surprised at the answers that are coming to you. If it didn’t work, relax! You can go back and do it again. Journaling is often a help.
Be sure to check the directions again and follow them if you’re not sure.
Use this next Circle in the same way with this affirmation:
“I allow clear perception to heighten my instincts and intuition.”
Then ask:
“Am I willing to trust in the power of balanced intuition and instinct?”
“Is the ‘vibe’ around me helpful or harmful?”
Very interesting, isn’t it? We instinctively know when the “vibe” is right or wrong, but we often don’t trust the messages we get. We doubt and second-guess ourselves or we might willfully ignore our inner guidance system and try to force our way through.
Look at the Circle again and ask,
“Am I heading in the direction of my best interest?”
“Am I making decisions that are in my best interests?”
“Am I taking actions that are helpful, harmful, misguided or simply ineffective?”
If you’re not clear yet, keep going with the exercise. You may need a few more easy corrections before the truth emerges.
Clear Perception and Being Present
Often, how well we listen to our inner guidance is affected by how present we are in our bodies. It’s called gut instinct because when we’re really present, we can feel it in our solar plexus (the soft area in the front where our ribs go up).
In times of confusion and stress, the solar plexus chakra can close down or get blocked off. Use this Chakra Key to make sure it’s open and functioning properly.
You can use the
Grounding Your Essence Chart to help you become more centered and aware in that solar plexus area. Just relax and breathe while you gently look at it for a few minutes with the positive affirmations below. Feel free to move at anytime in any way to help you embody your experience…
“I detach from confusion and chaotic energy.”
“I am present, upright and facing forward. I am willing to hear the truth.”
“I maintain a position that keeps me balanced, centered and grounded in the truth.”
Once you’ve finished centering yourself, hopefully, you’re feeling much better!
Use Dog Medicine to Handle Your Agreements Appropriately:
Another big reason why we might get off track is when there’s a problem with an agreement or commitment we’ve entered into on some level. In this busy, modern life, people tend to take their agreements too lightly and don’t realize how important their word is.
Perhaps paying attention to what we say seems like too much effort or too complicated. Yet, if you really want to be be loyal to yourself, being clear about your word and your agreements is super important. Especially agreements that you’ve made with yourself!
An agreement is an investment of your energy.
Are you investing your energy in something that is no longer viable? Are you investing your emotional energy into something (or someone) that would be harmful to you?
Here’s some tips about how to handle agreements successfully:
- You can keep your agreements and stick with what you previously decided.
- You can release agreements when they’re complete or no longer serve you.
- Or, you can consciously re-negotiate them when they need to be updated.
By the way, it’s also a good idea to pay attention if someone hasn’t been keeping their agreements with you. If that’s happening, it’s best to deal with the indiscretion asap. When we allow someone to break their word with us and then say or do nothing about it, we lose our own integrity by being disloyal to ourselves.
An agreement is an investment of your energy.

Stay Calm and Take a Few Deep Breaths ~
It’s okay. Our situations are changing at a rapid pace and so are our priorities. To help you identify problem agreements, use this Circle to help you slow down again. Focus on yourself and your current goals. Ask yourself:
“Have I been trying to keep agreements that are harmful to me? Is it time to renegotiate a pertinent agreement?” or “Am I overlooking an important agreement that I need to follow through on?”
If so, can you tell what those agreements are about? Take all the time you need with this… what insights do you get? If you ignore them, they may turn around and bite you!
Use this Soul Contract Circle to imagine that any harmful agreements you may have are like contracts that can be melted down to adjust for what’s needed or burned up entirely. Use the Circle to visualize all harmful contracts interacting with a sacred, violet flame. Here’s some affirmations to assist you if you like:
“I release all agreements that no longer serve me.”
“I let go of ___________. I reframe ____________. I stop ____________.”
Possible new agreements could be:
“I am loyal and true to my Self. My needs are a priority.”
“I have faith. I listen to my instincts and take good care of my Self.”
“I ________________________________.”
Use Dog Medicine to Help You Find A Way Through ~
Now it’s time to redirect your attention to helpful people, opportunities and places. For additional help, ask these questions:
“What is my priority at this time?”
“What is my natural place in this situation – where do I belong?”
“Am I operating in the New Paradigm based on equality, co-operation and balanced prosperity or the old paradigm of fear, dissatisfaction and greed?”
“Does something need to change?”
“Is something out of place, missing or out of order?”
“Am I listening to bad advice?”
“Am I heading in the right direction?”
Dissolve Destructive Blueprints
Use this symbol to help you gather up any misunderstandings, mistaken ideas or miscommunications and release them to the Light.
“I release all obstructions to clear perception.”
Let any confusion or heaviness you may feel lift up and out of you like dark clouds dissolving into beautiful sunlight.
Please note: Never send destructive energies into the Earth, she already has too much to handle now. Use the Earth for planting seeds of happiness and life – not death!
Close the Door on Confusion and Turn Your Energy Around.
Finally! It’s time to close the door on all those misuses of your time, attention and energies!
“I close the door on any drain or strain on my time, space, attention or energy.”
“I follow the direction of my Soul’s protection.”
“I trust the wisdom of balanced intuition and instinct.”
“I have clarity about which direction I need to go.”
Congratulations!
You now have clear perception about what’s really important to you and some guidance about what to do about it. Not only that, you’ve just gotten a key insight that’s going to save you a lot of trouble in the long run!
