REFORMING Your Life: What Did You Learn?
We are all being challenged to contemplate and REFORM certain aspects of our lives and create a new path forward.
Can we effectively let go of the old paradigm based on greed, fear and extremism while we intentionally move into a New Paradigm based on co-operation, equality and balanced prosperity?
Kuan Yin has been helping us to transition through a variety of readings, games and Power Circles since 2009. Her advice springs from the I Ching, an ancient book of divination that follows the flow of the cosmos.
The Great Conjunction on Winter Solstice 2020 marked the official start of what some call the Aquarian Age. Kuan Yin simply refers to it as a New Paradigm based on the Common Good. Her guidance for this game comes from Hexagram #21 REFORM:
“Know what you want, know what makes you feel good about your Self, know what brings you into harmony with others. These are your guidelines and principles. Other factors that assume control of your behavior or your health or that create inner discord are the obstacles that must be overcome. Be firm, unemotional, gentle, and clear in annihilating them and thereby reforming your Self and your environment.” ~The I Ching Workbook, R.L Wing
To help you better connect with her assistance, Kuan Yin uses the Intuitive Learning Circles to communicate through meditation, positive affirmations and visualization.

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.
What Did You Learn?
Often our need to be right keeps us from learning what we need to know about difficult situations. The intent of this game has two aspects:
- How can we learn from our mistakes, missteps and miscommunications?
- How can we be kind to ourselves and come up with real solutions to follow through on that will help things go better as we move forward?
First, get out some paper and something to write or draw with. Give yourself permission to draw or color during this exercise. Notes to yourself don’t have to be linear!
Next, choose an experience that you know you need help with and are willing to look at honestly. Examples might be: What did I learn in the decade between from 2012 and 2022? During the pandemic? In my previous relationship? In how I handle conflict at work? You can make your inquiry as specific or general as you like. Make a note or image of what this inquiry is about.
Then, let’s agree that your responses are for you and that you don’t have to share them with anyone else, unless you want to.
What Did You Learn is a self discovery game just for you!
Soul Guidance
Relax into this symbol and ask for general intuitive information about your situation from Old Sol with these questions.
“What do I need to know about this? What would be helpful?”
“Is something missing? Is something lost?
Do I need to let go of something?
Does something need to come into balance?
Quickly make a note of any answers that come up. You don’t need to understand at this point. Just write down any answers that come to you.
You may want to get additional help from Gifts from the Rainforest. If so, ask for a number between 1 and 58 and follow the instructions for accessing intuition.
Sometimes our experiences can be pretty rough, yet somehow we make it through. How do we know what worked and what didn’t?
This energy clearing is designed to help you relax and look back at what you’ve learned about a significant life event, now that you can be more objective…
1. Begin by taking a few deep breaths. It’s possible that your experience and the transition coming out of it has been stressful and you still may be feeling it. Use this Circle to help you relax and release some of that tension. Releasing tension can do a lot to prevent or relieve many symptoms of ptsd.
Did this experience contain a lot of conflict, anxiety or frustration for you? Did you feel a lot of judgement or fear? Are you concerned that you might return to certain energies and attitudes that were prevalent then?
If so, relax and imagine that the lines in this first Circle are softening and melting the tension away. Let your shoulders drop and your jaw unclench. Every time you take a deep breath, that feeling loosens up. Take all the time you need with this.
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.
2. Imagine you can open the doors and windows and get a breath of fresh air. It’s been pretty musty in there!
Continue breathing and if you can, imagine you can actually relax the tension in the space around you. Go ahead and move around or stretch if you need to.
3. Let your senses come back into balance. Some of them may have gotten turned up too high. Some may have shut down completely. You can adjust the volume now.
You might imagine that you’re lying next to a beautiful lake or river, enjoying a gentle breeze, with the sunlight dancing on the water. How refreshing!
Once you’ve taken this time to refresh yourself, notice how different the energy feels now rather than how it did just a few minutes ago. You can let go of all that chaos now.
4. Okay. Now we’re ready to dive in with the main question:
What did you learn from _____________________?
Use this Circle to gather pertinent information from your unconscious mind about that experience.
5. What did you learn about yourself and how you react?
Bring your attention to your solar plexus area, the place where your instinctual awareness is centered and transmits important information about your needs and how you do your best to meet them.
Utilize this Soul Star Chakra Key to clear out and release toxic energies that may have accumulated in this energy center.
6. Kuan Yin wants to know: What do you still need to learn?
Is there anything unresolved? What would you like to have happen going forward?
Let this Reiki Chakra Key strengthen your Heart and bring truly beneficial lessons into greater awareness and balance.
Continue to breathe until you feel the energy there can radiate out, like a beautiful star!
7. Is there still a CONFLICT left over from that experience? If so, is it your conflict or someone else’s?
How might you handle conflict differently now?
Is there any DANGER left over from that experience? Is there something that needs to be handled around that?
What have you learned about safety, responsibility, boundaries, freedom, etc? Take each specific concern one at a time.
What do they mean to you now that’s different from what it was during that experience? Gather up all that unconscious information so that you can make appropriate changes!
8. What did you learned about fear or anxiety and how you handle it?
What did you learn about protecting yourself?
9. Did you internalize a lot of things? If so, how did you handle that? What did you learn about that?
If you didn’t take things too personally, what do you think was the secret to your success?
10. What did you learn about taking good care of yourself?
What became apparent?
What was the area of most personal growth for you?
Would you like to integrate any benefits you learned about those things?
What are your priorities after all of this? What matters the most?
11. Do you feel that any changes happened that affected your sense of identity and purpose?
What wisdom does your Soul want you to take with you about that?
12. What did you learn about nourishing yourself? What did you change in regard to that? Is it still serving you now? Do you need time to digest and integrate what you learned?
Are you tapping into beneficial nourishment now?
13. Are there parts of you that are still caught up in what happened?
If so, see if you can gently and patiently pull your energy back from that experience.
14. Do you have any objects in your environment that are keeping you unconsciously connected to that period of time?
Is there any room or part of the building(s) that feels blocked, dead or unable to ground in the New Paradigm?
15. Are there any new decisions you would like to make as a result of what you learned?
What would you like to decide differently about dealing with change? How about taking care of others? What have you decided about standing up for yourself and maintaining healthy boundaries? How will you now deal with deception, neglect or misuse of authority?
16. What new agreements or intentions do you need to make after that experience?
What new intentions do you want to make about dealing with change? How about taking care of others? What new intentions do you need to make about balanced prosperity? What about standing up for yourself and maintaining healthy boundaries? What are your intentions about dealing with deception, neglect or misuse of authority?
17. Let yourself relax for a few minutes while you get centered and find a strong connection in your heart center to empower the positive changes you would like to make.
Ask your Soul to help you integrate all that you’ve learned and use it to empower your highest good as you move into this next phase of your life.
“I empower the wisdom I’ve gained from this experience.”
18. What is the very best thing you can do to help yourself in the here and now?
19. Take a moment to close down any drains from that period of time that are affecting your energy, your business, your health and your happiness.
20. To finish this game, gaze at this last symbol and consciously close any harmful or chaotic energy channels that may still be open from your experience of that time.
“I close down all harmful energy channels.”
Be sure to do that both crossed and uncrossed over the midline of your body.
You’ll know that the harmful channels are closed when the emotional chaos and mental chatter stops. Once that happens, gently and patiently acknowledge your new relationship with generative life flow that exists now to support you.
“I allow myself to receive generative life force.”
Yes. Sometimes our experiences can be pretty rough. Congratulations on all that you’ve learned from it!

Clearing an Overwhelmed Mind
If you need help clearing an overwhelmed mind, the Intuitive Learning Circle method offers quick and easy support.
This self-care formula is for clearing an overwhelmed mind and is especially useful for handling day to day stresses, like when you’re feeling:
- Exhausted
- Pressured
- Confused
- Out of balance
- Taking on too much
- Doing too much
- Going too fast and need to slow down.
You are not alone and you can easily get some relief by going through the Overwhelm Help Exercise #4 out of Navigating Loss and Compassion Fatigue from our Soul Oriented Solutions series.
Directions: Confirm this is the best formula for you with the SOS Symbol.
Find a quiet place if possible, where you won’t be disturbed for about twenty – thirty minutes. Begin by reading the first message and then gaze gently at the Circle or chart that goes with it for approximately two minutes. A longer or shorter time may be necessary. Let yourself breathe and relax as much as possible. Don’t worry if the images move around or change in any way. That just means the Circles are working with the positive affirmations to bring your mind and body back into balance.
Some emotions might come up as well. That also means the Circles are working. If you’re being hard on yourself or afraid you aren’t “doing it right,” give yourself permission to continue relaxing and let go of anything that’s causing you pain or suffering. You could be releasing a mindset that’s caused you quite a bit of suffering for some time now. Resolve to patiently keep breathing and let it go.
Mind Body Integration
For best results, look at each symbol both crossed over the midline of your body and uncrossed so that the correction is more complete.
Feel free to move at anytime in any way to help you embody your experience!
If someone is with you, talk to them about some of the feelings that you’re having. It could help you to gain perspective on your situation. Having perspective allows you to make the best decisions about what will help you now.
After you’ve finished going through the entire formula, let yourself rest for a little while. You’re doing very well with such a difficult circumstance. Be sure to take things one at a time.

Pay special attention to those places in your body where you’re feeling pain or discomfort.

See if you can move your energy out of your head and pull it down into your center heart and solar plexus area.

Are You Catastrophizing?
One of the biggest challenges we face is how to get past all the catastrophizing that’s going on and get to some real solutions.
When a person is CATASTROPHIZING, they are imagining the worst possible outcome of an action or event. It’s so easy to blow everything out of proportion, especially after all we’ve been through! Turn on any form of media and within minutes you’re hit with intense waves of anger, fear, outrage, even paranoia. Before you know it, your energy is scattered all over the place and you’re feeling hopeless.
Certainly, there are plenty of disastrous events that are actually happening. I’m not suggesting that we isolate, live in denial or surround ourselves with ‘nothing to see here’ apathy.
However, putting all that emotional energy into the drama while ignoring the solutions is like feeding a shark and then expecting it to just peacefully swim away. It ain’t gonna happen!
Our problems can’t be solved from the same mental position they were created from. The same is true for you. A positive balance can be struck by consciously pulling your attention and energy away from all those problems and redirecting them to genuinely helpful solutions.
It may sound hard to do, but learning to stop catastrophizing is possible.
With this sequence of Intuitive Learning Circles, you can easily refocus and let go of some of that fear you’ve been feeling. All you have to do is be open and follow the simple directions. Each Circle helps gather unconscious information, organize awareness and illuminate solutions that come directly from your Soul. You are in charge!
Start out by taking a moment to consider what situations are bothering you the most. What seems to be the most upsetting to you?
You could be catastrophizing about anything – environment, work, family, politics, AI technology, social media or even a personal relationship.
What upsetting event comes to mind first?
Where do you feel it in your body?
With that situation in mind, scroll down and gaze softly at the short sequence of Intuitive Learning Circles below. Let each Circle help you access intuitive answers to the questions that go along with them.
Step 1:
Take a moment to relax and take a few deep breaths. Let your shoulders drop and gently look at the Circle in whatever way that appeals to you. Once you feel pretty relaxed, ask yourself this question:
“What am I paying too much attention to that isn’t in my best interests?”
It’s important to accept whatever comes to you because that answer is your Inner Guidance sending a warning to you.
Step 2:
Gaze softly at this next Circle that helps you access your unconscious decisions:
“What decisions am I making about this situation? What have I decided about other people? What have I decided about myself? Are those productive thoughts?”
If they are productive, great! Bring them together and make them even stronger.
If they’re not productive, what kind of thoughts and decisions would be better for you to make? Would you be willing to give yourself and other people a break? Don’t judge, just keep a mental note. Oftentimes when we change our decisions, the situation begins to change too.
Step 3:
Use this Circle to help you connect with a more positive energy that lives within.
“I connect to the Source of Joy and Gratitude that lives in my heart center.”
“I decide to empower a healthy and hopeful frame of mind in regard to this situation.”
“I am empowered to ___________.”
This may take a few minutes, so take all the time you need. Move around and stretch if you like.
Step 4.
As you gaze at this Correction Key for repairing your energy field, ask yourself:
“Am I willing to heal the pathways in my energy that are jagged, torn, blocked or turned inside out?”
If you are, use your imagination with this Key to smooth the energy out.
If you’re not, can you tell what’s holding you up?
Step 5:
Bring yourself fully into the present. Open and close your hands. Take a look at the time… remember how old you are… find something in your space that you can really connect to.
These are all things that can help you get more centered.
What do you need to do to get grounded?
Step 6.
Put your hand on your heart and meditate on this symbol for a few minutes with this positive affirmation:
“I connect my consciousness with Hope.”
Make sure you’re relaxing as much as possible. Roll your shoulders if you need to. Adjust how you’re seated. Hope is a virtue that connects you with your Soul.
Step. 7
When you’re ready, check your progress…
“Does it feel like I’m moving in a better direction?”
Step 8.
If the answer you get is “no” or “I’m not sure,” use this Circle to imagine that your Soul can turn you towards the direction of your highest good and close the door completely on all that catastrophizing.
“The path in my mind that leads to disaster is sealing and healing.
I follow the direction of my Soul’s protection.”
Once you’re clear that you’re heading in a positive direction, you can thank your lucky stars that you have successfully pulled yourself out of emotional chaos.
Congratulations!
Now that you know what kind of issues are especially upsetting, you can make a plan to find some good solutions. For now, though, you probably need to rest or go do something entirely different. After all, catastrophizing is hard work!
Take a few minutes for yourself to walk, get out in nature or do something that will help you relax.
