Retrain Your Mind To Go For Joy
Why does joy elude us? Because the mind is busy going for other things. Like “winning,” being “right,” “desirable” or “perfect.”
Yet, when you retrain your mind to go for “joy” rather than “perfection,” amazing things start to happen…
For a lot of us, a tremendous amount of our energy has been focused on externally sourced goals. We try so hard to win, to look good, to escape punishment or to be “right.” Sadly, many of us are taught that we’re supposed to be perfect, so that’s what we’ve trained the mind to go for.
But what does “perfection” mean? Whose definition of being perfect are we using? Our parents? Mom? Dad? Our boss? Our family? Religion? The media? All of these definitions are externally sourced and full of contradictions.
More often than not, “perfection” simply means doing what somebody else wants us to do. No wonder so many of us are spinning around, chasing after a hundred different things! Going for perfection usually creates pressure, confusion and an overwhelmed mind!
0n the other hand, going for joy usually creates more joy – which connects us with our true creative spark, which seems as though it would be much better. You can use this Circle to help your mind focus around the energetics of Joy:
In some situations, it might also be helpful to go for:

Welcome to Learning in the New Paradigm – Mind Exercises to Retrain Your Mind to Go for Joy Rather than “Perfection.”
~ with Rheanni Lightwater, CHT, CKP
The Intuitive Learning Circles are a great tool to help you retrain your mind to successfully move away from the internal conflict that comes from having to be perfect. This short exercise will get you started. I’ve put it together to help you discover a way to refocus on internally sourced goals that are joyful and genuinely meaningful for you! All you have to do is relax and gaze softly at the Circles while you gently contemplate the affirmations or questions that go with them. Here’s an example:
“I reclaim and balance my five senses.”
“I fine tune them to be present and aware of my Soul and its purpose.”
“I use them to become aware of interference, obstacles and false ideas about perfection.”
“I am motivated to focus on beneficial solutions, opportunities and joy.”
An important note about Mind Body Integration ~
The brain and body communicate through different channels when a part of you is crossed over the center of your body. As you go through the steps, cross and uncross a hand or foot over the midline of your body when you gaze at each Circle. Use a soft focus and breathe patiently. This will help you integrate your thinking more fully so that you can be more creative. If you have any negative self-talk, let it go by breathing through it.
Feel free to move at anytime in any way to help you embody your experience!
Changes in the flow of your environment may cause the energy in your subtle energy field to start running in reverse or shut down entirely.
Take a few breaths and let this symbol help you make corrections. Relax and sense your overall energy. If it feels jagged or disjointed, stay with the Key until the energy smooths out and you can begin to feel the energy of your Soul coming through. Affirm this intention both crossed and uncrossed over the midline of your body:
“I repair the glitches, holes and blockages in my energy system.”
Please note: You may need to do this several times during the course of this exercise…
Okay, so let’s begin to retrain your mind…
Step One: In your current situation, who or what is defining “perfection” for you?
Perhaps it’s the media or something you learned at home or in school.
Wherever it came from, does that definition create joy for you? Is it creating more balanced prosperity? What about freedom or equality?
So, what are you actually asking your mind to accomplish?
Step Two: How much of your energy have you been sending to this definition?
If it were a percentage, what might it be?
10%? 20%? 50% or more?
Would you like to send that energy to create more joy in this situation instead?
Step Three: Imagine you can retrain your mind to reorganize itself around “joy,” rather than “perfection.”
Place the word “Joy,” or “Balanced Prosperity” in the center, open space of the Circle and soften your gaze. Relax. While you’re doing this, the Circle may seem to rotate, spin or even change colors. If that happens – go with it. Release control of the experience and let your thoughts re-arrange themselves. Your new goal may turn into images, experiences, colors, sounds or movements. Let it happen! You will know that the process is complete when the energy subsides.
Try the same with “Freedom” and “Equality”.
You can get up and move around if you like. Take all the time that you need so you can align with the inner guidance system of your Soul!
Step Four: Think about your situation again and bring your senses into balance by focusing on the center open space of this Circle.
Ask your heart: “What do I really want to accomplish?”
Step Five: Take a moment to clarify your intention through your Third Eye Chakra. Focus inwardly on what’s most important for you.
Remember to keep breathing!
Step Six: Clear the energy in your Heart Chakra so you can connect your ideas about Joy with the true creative spark of your life force.
From there, connect with your other intentions for balanced prosperity, etc.
Keep directing the energy to the center open space of the Circle. Doing so will help you bring your true intentions more fully into the center of your life!
Step Seven: How might you approach your life situation differently now? What action can you take that will help you know you’re going for joy?
How is it different when you go for balanced prosperity, freedom and equality?
Congratulations! Going for joy rather than perfection is a central concept of the Intuitive Learning Circles that will help you to live and prosper in the New Paradigm of co-operation, equality and balanced prosperity.
The following extra-intuitive activities aren’t required, but they can really help you excel in creating the very best of your talents, interests and passions…

Help For Learning Difficulties
Do You Struggle with Learning Difficulties?
I’ve learned from experience that what others may call a disease or disability can become the foundation for brilliance, innovation and thinking outside the box.
I was raised in a time before ADD, ADHD or Dyslexia had names. In the fifties and early sixties, kids like me didn’t have learning difficulties, we were simply labelled slow, troublemakers or stupid. Judging from the amount of time I spent in the principle’s office, I was probably put into the troublemaker category pretty early on!
Learning Difficulties: The Genius of Thinking Differently
I remember when I was just beginning to learn how to write my name in cursive. I was trying to figure out which hand worked better making all those loops and curly-ques. While experimenting with my left hand, my second grade teacher came over to me and plucked the pencil right out of my hand. “You don’t want to use that hand,” she barked, “only bad people are left handed.”
I didn’t like that teacher much so, at that moment I made a decision. I was going to be left-handed just to spite her! To this day, I am quasi-ambidextrous – I write with my left hand and do just about everything else with my right.
Similarly, I had learning difficulties getting my b’s and d’s right. They always seemed to get mixed up in my mind. I was restless in class because I had trouble concentrating and following what the teacher said was unbearable to me. In my early 20’s I even experienced stuttering because I literally couldn’t think of anything to say when in conversation. My mind would go completely blank, which was humiliating to me.
I know that most of the time, advice from teachers, family and friends was meant to help. They just couldn’t understand why I had learning difficulties or what to do about them. Unfortunately, having a mind that’s wired differently meant that techniques that worked well for others, didn’t work well for me.
Much later in life, I started to accept that doing things the way that other people did them just wasn’t going to work for me. I was eventually forced to accept that my learning difficulties had to do with early childhood trauma when a family crisis put me into a full-fledged case of PTSD.
It took me quite a while to get my bearings again, but once I decided that it was okay to be different – outside of the approval of my family – my life took a sharp turn for the better. I stopped beating myself up and started to embrace the things that came naturally to me. I went into bodywork and somatic education together with hypnotherapy, Reiki and mind/body energy work. I began to experience a satisfaction and success that I had never known before. Finally, I was allowing the way I was wired to lead me into exciting new fields of discovery and innovation!
I set to work learning about and putting together techniques from many different disciplines to help me and my clients, many of whom were highly sensitive people with similar learning difficulties. I developed a whole system of tools for better focus and concentration using muscle testing. I’ve also found that they can help with emotional healing, reducing stress and providing a way to activate advanced states of intuition and creativity.
Today, I use those tools to find solutions together with my clients and students – whether the issue is in their body, their thinking process or their environment. I call them the Intuitive Learning Circles and now I’m making them available to other people, like you – so that you can also experience the beauty and genius of thinking differently.

Developing Precognition
Could You Be Stepping Into Danger or Taking the Hit for Someone Else? Developing Precognition Will Help You to Stay Out of Trouble.
The Intuitive Learning Circles are great at developing precognition, bringing intuitive hits, hunches and other unconscious information up to the surface to be examined more closely. Especially if you have learning difficulties or your inner guidance is blocked for some reason. That’s why I’m sharing this Mind Exercise from Intuitive Learning in the New Paradigm. By playing, you’ll have the opportunity to engage your imagination and shed some light on potential situations where you might be better off staying out of the way!
If you’ve ever stepped into a compromising situation or gotten caught in the middle of a fight between people, you know what it feels like to suddenly find yourself caught in the middle of a “no-win” situation. It feels horrible! Especially for highly sensitive people, who often find themselves in the middle of highly charged, emotional conflicts.
“If only I knew beforehand or had some kind of “spidey sense” that there was going to be a problem, I wouldn’t have even shown up!”
But wait. That’s not really so far out of the realm of possibilities. It’s called developing precognition or as I like to say, listening to your intuitive hit.
Clearing the Way for Making Smart Decisions
Use Your Inner Guidance and Gut Instincts to Get Out of the Way and Learn How to Be in the Right Place at the Right Time.
You’ve probably had an experience of knowing that it just felt wrong to go to a certain place at a certain time. Then later, you find out that you were right. Something unfortunate happened in that very same place around that time! That’s your precognition at work and it’s a darn useful skill to have, especially now, when times are so unstable and chaotic.
In the old paradigm based on greed and elitism, it’s been commonplace for people to try to control things by invading other people’s space or interfering with important personal projects or relationships. This can happen on a physical level, but it can also happen on an emotional/mental level, which often causes emotional shock that sits frozen under the surface of our awareness. We have expressions for when these kinds of manipulations happen. “Get out of my space,” or “stop playing mind games with me,” are just a few. Unfortunately, when this happens, emotions can easily escalate out of control and our normal awareness of danger can get blocked!
Developing precognition through accurate intuition is one way to help you keep your mind on your own business and protect yourself from dangerous situations.
Preparations for Developing Precognition
Begin by activating your five senses so that your intuition can come forward and give you the help that you seek. You can use these affirmations:
“I reclaim and reconnect with my senses.”
“I clear them up so that I can accurately sense my environment.”
“I use them to sense what will keep me safe, productive and well.”
“I become aware if I’m intruding on other people’s business.”
“I can clearly sense what will help me to _______________.”
Next, gaze softly at this Circle to help you gently release any shock that might be under the surface for you. Imagine the lines are getting all wavy and loose.
Give yourself more help by making repairs to any chakras that might have been affected by all the chaotic energies in the environment.
“I smooth out any jagged energies, addictions, viruses, reversals or blockages in my field.”
Use this next Circle to help you develop precognition in your current situation by tapping into your unconscious mind. Gaze softly at this Circle and ask yourself:
“Is there a situation coming up where I need to get out of the way?”
“Is there a situation where someone is getting in my way or blocking what I need to do?”
Be patient and relax into your body. The Circle is helping you focus in on pertinent unconscious information. Your answer could come in the form of a feeling, an image, words or a combination of them all.
Let’s get some more information…
Sometimes we’re empathically picking up on someone else’s situation.
Could that be happening in this case?
If so, is there any shared karma? Have you let your protection down?
Do you need to pull your energy back and re-establish protection?
Is there an action you’re thinking about taking that isn’t in your best interests? Do you need increased awareness to take that action?
If the answer you get is “no”, count yourself lucky and keep up the good work staying out of trouble!
If the answer is “yes” or “maybe,” keep going with this exercise to find out more about what’s going on and what you can do about it.
Continue the Mind Exercise for Developing Precognition
1. Slow down and ask for more information about what’s really going on. Use your imagination and see the landscape of your mind slowing down too. Things may simply be moving too fast for you to get out of the way when trouble is about to happen.
2. When things are chaotic or moving too fast, it’s easy to get distracted and fall into scams, traps and deceptive mind games. Plus, people are more likely to be mixed up in situations where they really don’t belong. Use this Reiki Chakra Key to open your Third Eye to intuition and common sense. You can use these positive affirmations to help:
“I open my Third Eye and let it balance.
I use it to separate what’s true from what’s a distraction or all-out lie.”
Being in the Wrong Place at the Wrong Time
3. Remember the relationship or situation where you think there might be a problem. While you think about it, gaze at this Circle and ask your gut a couple of simple “yes” or “no” questions:
“What is the situation? Is there any danger in it?”
Once you find the situation, ask yourself:
“What is the danger here? Can I tell how I’m participating in the situation?
Is there an important reason why I’m participating or considering doing this? Is it worth it to put myself in this situation?”
“Am I placing my hopes into something that isn’t in my best interests?”
What does my inner guidance say about this?
4. Continue your self-inquiry:
“Would I be pulled off track or doing harm to myself? Would my projects be harmed? My loved ones? If so, what is the problem?”
It could be timing, placement, priorities, a belief, an agreement, a habit or something else…
Take your time to get as much information as you can.
5. Would being in this situation have a negative effect on your boundaries? Your prosperity? Your health or well-being? In what way?
6. Sometimes, how people see you can be a source of the problem. People often project what’s going on within themselves onto other people. Check in with this Circle to see if anything like that could be involved. Note – what’s being projected onto you could be either unflattering, flattering or both!
“In this situation, am I being projected on?”
So, now you have a lot more information to work with as you decide what to do!
7. What is the best thing to do in this case? If you need to move out of the way, see yourself doing that in your minds eye. If you need to let go or say “no”, see yourself doing that. Whatever message you get, see yourself taking your own advice.
“What do I need to do?”
Finish this part of Developing Precognition with these affirmations:
“I resolve to be in the right place at the right time for my highest good.”
“I stay out of trouble and follow through on my true priorities.”
“I close the doors on old habits, distractions or misconceptions.”
“I follow the direction of my Soul’s protection.”
Congratulations!
Take a moment to thank yourself for Developing Precognition, a gift that will save you a lot of time and grief in the long run! Now is a good time to take a walk or go out into Nature to help this all integrate. Be prepared for new ideas and solutions to make their way towards you.
Once you’re clearer about your situation, you may want to go through one of these two strengthening exercises, depending on what your concern is:
-
- Standing Strong and Grounding in the Truth.
- Separate from Negativity and Develop Healthy Boundaries.

Chakra Balancing with Reiki
Kuan Yin’s Transformation Game for Chakra Balancing ~
Some people may be having difficulty physically and emotionally because they need chakra balancing to help them with one or more levels of their Hierarchy of Needs.
Here is an interesting and informative comparison between Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs and the Seven Primary Chakras. As you go through this simple exercise using the Intuitive Learning Circles from Reiki Chakra Keys, you will not only assess each of your Primary Chakras and gain some very interesting psychological insights, you’ll also have the opportunity to connect more deeply so you can clear and balance them to function more effectively in the New Paradigm.
Here’s how it works:
Put both feet flat on the floor and keep your arms and legs uncrossed. Read the information and then gaze softly at the corresponding Reiki Chakra Key for insight and energy healing. You will probably feel a lot of energy moving – that’s all right, that means the symbols are working with Reiki energy to cleanse and balance each of your Primary Chakras. Gaze gently at each Key until the energy you sense calms down and you have a clear answer to the questions.
Suggestions from Kuan Yin are included to lead you into a deeper chakra healing that’s designed to help you understand what makes the New Paradigm “new” and how to function much better within it.
Or you can continue moving through the sequence of the Chakras with each of their descriptions to complete the assessment. Remember it’s always best to relax and go slowly. Allow your energy to settle comfortably between each Key.
Step One: Each of us has a unique vibration and “soul color” that allows us to sync up with the Universe appropriately.
It’s common for empath’s or other highly sensitive people to take on other people’s vibration in an effort to survive or get along. Use this first Circle to reinforce healthy boundaries and be sure that you’re reading your energy and not someone else’s!
To fully integrate your personal vibration simply gaze softly at the Circle both crossed and uncrossed over the midline of your body while you affirm to yourself:
“I know who I am. I distinguish my needs from the needs of others.”
Step Two: Your chakras respond to old conditioning and mindsets. To change your mindset, establish an overall intention stated in the positive.
You might want to write it down. Examples:
“I understand what’s required for me to be centered and grounded
in the New Paradigm.”
Step Three: Utilize the beneficial Chi’ available through the Element of Air For Divine Protection and healthy communication.
“I close down harmful energy channels and allow my energy to adapt and flow with the lighter, more protective energy of the New Paradigm.”
I hope to _____________________________.”
Now that you know what your intention is, let’s find out what might be needed to balance each of your seven primary chakras to align with your goal!
First Chakra Key:
“Our root chakra is red and governs the physical body, our instincts and the assumptions we have about life.
If we have been brought up under the assumption that our bodies and physical processes are bad or dirty, we will manifest that on the physical plane. We will be prone to violence, disrespect and exhaustion.
Clearing the energy with this Reiki Chakra Key will help us to find a new foundation and give us strength to make the necessary changes for a vibrant and powerful life.” ~ Reiki Chakra Keys, Rheanni Lightwater
In Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs the Root needs are physiological – air, food, water, shelter, warmth, sex, sleep and having adequate methods of communication.
Gaze softly at the Root Chakra Key below for a minute or so. Then ask yourself:
“Are my physiological needs being met? Am I giving them the proper priority, position and attention for my life to be in balance? Do I need a stronger, more beneficial connection with Mother Earth?”
Do I need chakra balancing here? if so, what would help me to bring my Root Chakra in balance?
What Would Bring Balance to My Physical and Psychological Well-being?
Kuan Yin’s current recommendation: Stabilize and protect your foundation>
Second Chakra Key
“The second energy center is referred to here as the spleen chakra because it is deeply connected to our emotions, digestion and immunity. Its color is orange.
When this chakra is dis-eased, toxic emotions and entanglements build up and poison the entire system. Our ability to create is repressed and depression sets in.
Free flowing energy here is essential to physical, emotional and mental health.
We can forgive ourselves and others, which helps us to maintain a healthy sense of well-being.” ~ Reiki Chakra Keys, Rheanni Lightwater
In Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs the second level needs are safety oriented – protection from the elements, security, order, law, stability and freedom from fear.
Gaze softly at the Second Chakra Key below for a minute or so. Then ask yourself:
“Are my safety and security needs being met? Am I giving them the proper priority, position and attention for my life to be in balance?”
Do I need chakra balancing here? if so, what would help me to bring my 2nd Chakra in balance?
What Would Bring Balance to My Physical and Psychological Well-being?
Kuan Yin’s current recommendation: Let go of negative entanglements that affect your immunity>
Third Chakra Key:
“The solar plexus chakra is the center of who we are and who we think we are, so it is fitting that its color is a bright yellow.
When our sense of ourselves is poor, the chakra becomes sluggish and clogged up.
If our sense of ourselves is positive, we have self-confidence and the chakra pulsates with vibrancy and harmony. We exude an attitude of faith and cheerfulness. Our energy-level is high, we a have a high mental capacity for success and others are naturally attracted to our charisma.” ~ Reiki Chakra Keys, Rheanni Lightwater
In Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs the third level needs include love and belongingness needs – friendship, intimacy, affection and love from work group, family, friends, and romantic relationships.
Gaze softly at the Third Chakra Key below for a minute or so. Then ask yourself:
“Are my love and belongingness needs being met? Am I giving them the proper priority, position and attention for my life to be in balance?”
Do I need chakra balancing here? if so, what would help me to bring my Third Chakra in balance?
What Would Bring Balance to My Physical and Psychological Well-being?
Kuan Yin’s current recommendation: Connect with your courage and natural instincts>
Fourth Chakra Key (Heart):
“Our heart chakra is the bridge between our bodies and the spiritual world. It is where our thoughts and beliefs about love meet the physical expression of it.
Indigenous people believe that all of nature can communicate with each other through the heart. That is why its color is green, the most basic color for healing, nurturing and abundance. It is the home of the mind of compassion, which extends to every living being, including ourselves.” ~ Reiki Chakra Keys, Rheanni Lightwater
In Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs the fourth level needs include esteem needs – achievement, self-love, independence, status, dominance, prestige, self-approval, self-respect and respect from others.
Gaze softly at the Fourth Chakra Key below for a minute or so. Then ask yourself:
“Are my compassion and esteem needs being met? Am I giving them the proper priority, position and attention for my life to be in balance?”
Do I need chakra balancing here? if so, what would help me to bring my Fourth Chakra in balance?
What Would Bring Balance to My Physical and Psychological Well-being?
Kuan Yin’s current recommendation: Open your heart to Joy so you can let go perfectionism>
Fifth Chakra Key (Throat):
“The energy of the throat chakra is about what you put out into the world – having a voice. It’s about speaking your truth and is blue in color, as in ‘true blue’.
Many people in our society have difficulty with this energy center. This may manifest in suppressed emotions, not saying what we really mean or an inability to ask for what we need. It often impairs us from being able to achieve all that we are capable of.
A healthy throat chakra allows us to be clear and honest in our intentions, words and deeds. Through it we can avoid the bitterness and restlessness that comes from an unfulfilled life.” ~ Reiki Chakra Keys, Rheanni Lightwater
In Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs the fifth level needs include cognitive needs such as knowledge, meaning, expression, self-mastery and self-awareness.
Gaze softly at the Fifth Chakra Key below for a minute or so. Then ask yourself:
“Are my cognitive needs being met? Am I able to ask for what I need and straightforward in my requests? Am I giving them the proper priority, position and attention for my life to be in balance?”
Do I need chakra balancing here? if so, what would help me to bring my Fifth Chakra in balance?
What Would Bring Balance to My Physical and Psychological Well-being?
Kuan Yin’s current recommendation: Clear up any communication issues that are holding you back>
Sixth Chakra Key (Third Eye):
“The third eye chakra contains the energy of insight and wisdom. Located in the center of the forehead just above the eyebrow, this chakra is associated with the color purple.
A healthy third eye is important in the development of intuition and common sense. When it’s blocked, we tend to doubt ourselves, become cynical and rely on the opinions of others. We lose our imagination, our dreams and our personal power.
Conversely, when it’s clear, we are capable of regaining our inner vision and receiving clairvoyant information. We can develop relationships with our Higher Self, Angels, Teachers and Guides. These beings are here to assist us in achieving the Reiki ideals of Universal Love.” ~ Reiki Chakra Keys, Rheanni Lightwater
In Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs the sixth level needs include aesthetic needs – the appreciation of and search for beauty, balance and form, etc. Kuan Yin would add the need for spiritual insight and understanding.
Gaze softly at the Sixth Chakra Key below for a minute or so. Then ask yourself:
“Are my needs for creativity and spiritual understanding being met? Am I giving them the proper priority, position and attention for my life to be in balance?”
Do I need chakra balancing here? if so, what would help me to bring my Sixth Chakra in balance?
What Would Bring Balance to My Physical and Psychological Well-being?
Kuan Yin’s current recommendation: Detach from group think that feeds escalating conflicts>
Seventh Chakra Key (Crown):
“The crown chakra is our connection to spirit. This is the energy center that connects us with divine inspiration. Its color is white as it contains all things and it can cast a golden ring when in states of ecstasy.
In this experience of “enlightenment,” we can perceive the potential both within and without and are completely at peace with ourselves.
When this energy center is open and balanced, we more easily receive information and life force from our Higher Self and the Universe. Take all the time you need with this Key until you feel stable and calm.” ~ Reiki Chakra Keys, Rheanni Lightwater
In Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs the seventh level needs include self actualization needs – realizing personal potential, self-fulfillment, seeking personal growth and peak experiences.
Gaze softly at the Seventh Chakra Key below for a minute or so. Then ask yourself:
“Are my self-actualization needs being met? Are my fulfillment needs blocked in any way? Am I giving them the proper priority, position and attention for my life to be in balance?”
Do I need chakra balancing here? if so, what would help me to bring my Seventh Chakra in balance?
What Would Bring Balance to My Physical and Psychological Well-being?
Kuan Yin’s current recommendation: Tune into clear guidance especially when lies are everywhere>
Congratulations!
Now that you’ve gone through chakra balancing with Reiki for the seven main chakras, your energy is more your own and you’ll have a much easier time adapting to the New Paradigm. Remember, a person whose energy is balanced and calm has a uniquely beneficial effect on those around them.
Be sure to take some time to relax and rest.

How To Trust Your Gut Instinct
This Mind Exercise is about how to trust your gut instinct. Let’s start with the definition of instinct* that I like to use:
“Instinct is primal and body centered. Its purpose is self-preservation. Instinct tells us that we’re tired, hungry, sad or afraid through a full body response – a feeling, not just a thought.
For many of us, the natural instinct for joy may been suppressed, mistuned or perverted by unnatural expectations and cultural conditioning.
Whenever instinct is out of balance, it’s easy to get lost. There is a lack of courage and everything is about avoidance – avoiding getting caught, procrastination and avoiding responsibility. In extremes, this gives rise to panic, scapegoating and disassociation.
When instinct goes out of balance it’s usually about something you fear. Or you could be disoriented by confusing changes in your external world.” ~ Intuitive Learning in the New Paradigm by Rheanni Lightwater
The purpose of these Mind Exercises is to help us all learn to think and experience ourselves differently. The hope is to facilitate an upgrade in how we can organize our minds, energies and bodies in a way that can meet the very real challenges that are facing us.
The foundation of the New Paradigm is about creating common ground for the common good, based on equality, co-operation, and balanced prosperity. Knowing how to access, utilize and trust your instinct is a very big part of what needs to happen.
To have your own experience with how to trust your gut instinct, choose a situation that you know would be joyful for you, yet have some resistance towards.
What would I really like to experience?
Once you have that situation, follow the directions for this simple sequence of Intuitive Learning Circles. They’ve been put together to help you relax, contemplate your natural instincts and integrate that information to the best of your ability at this time.
How to Trust Your Instincts
It’s easy to get confused by what other people want or social conditioning about what’s acceptable. Follow the steps to make sure that you’re reading your energy and not someone else’s!
Step One: Return to the clarity of your true Essence by getting in touch with your unique Soul vibration or color. The way you find your own color is to remember a time when you successfully manifested something that you really wanted. Notice if a particular color or felt sense comes to mind. Relax into this Soul Prayer Chart with these affirmations and see if you can make that same color and vibration stronger and more vibrant. If so, that is your Soul Color!
“I relax into myself and recognize my unique color vibration.”
I know who I am. I distinguish my energy from the energy of others.”
“I use my Soul Color to nourish and strengthen my natural healing abilities.”
It will help to imagine you can bring all the energy into focus on the center, open space of each Intuitive Learning Circle.
Step Two: You feel instinct in your solar plexus area, where your 3rd chakra is located. Use this Reiki Chakra Key to let go of any tension in that area. Breathe into it and move around in any way that feels good. Let the energy open and get balanced there.
“I let go of the tension in my solar plexus.”
Step Three: Without being firmly positioned in the “home base” of your solar plexus, it’s difficult to fully access the qualities you need to trust yourself and be courageous about what you want.
Use these positive affirmations to help you:
“I am grounded and connected in my solar plexus.”
“I am upright and facing forward.”
“I hold space in my gut for my own Essence and allow others to hold space for theirs. My boundaries are intact.”
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 anytime in any way to help you embody your experience!
Step Four: Now it’s time to “reorient” your conscious awareness inside that area, which will center you so that you don’t get confused or dyslexic. This affirmation works well:
“I am inside of me. Everything else is outside of me.”
This is especially helpful for those who 1) are “up in their head,” 2) often feel dissociated, or 3) have the twisties, a phenomenon where a person loses their sense of where their body is in space.
Step Five: The Essential Self is in charge of how you’re using your personal energy or “mana.” Confirm that you’re creating reciprocity by including yourself in the equation. A) Use the Circle to gather up your energy in your solar plexus area.
B) Place your objective in the center of the Circle like a bull’s eye.
“I focus my attention and intention on actualizing my objective.”
C) Send your energy directly to it.
D) Allow the energy of your intention to come back to you and keep that going for several cycles.
“I am invested in my own wellbeing.”
If you are unable to do that, can you tell why?
Is the timing incorrect?
Is there another important reason?
Step Six: Imagine your Soul can surround you with a ring of fiery courage and determination.
“I am able to reconnect with my courage and determination.”
“I actively call on them to strengthen and support me.”
“I choose to use energies that will strengthen and support me.”
Step Seven: Now take a few moments to connect and “fine-tune” your senses so that you can listen to your own Soul more clearly, rather than interference from the outside world. You can adjust them now, like the volume on a radio dial:
“I connect and rebalance my senses.
Not too high and not too low –
just right!”
Once you feel that, what does your Soul tell you to do about your situation? Does your body agree? What do you need to do to follow through? The answer will be visceral.
Step Eight: Guidance that comes from balanced instinct is direct and action oriented. Its purpose is for you to be okay, so if you’re getting too elevated or emotional, use this next Circle to help you pull yourself back in. Be patient and listen to what your body is communicating to you.
What do you need to do?
Once you get an action statement that feels right, Congratulations! You might want to make a note of it. The critical mind often likes to override the gut instinct with a lot of second-guessing, procrastination and feelings of overwhelm.
Step Nine: Make sure you don’t wander back into any old harmful patterns or mindsets that you just cleared.
“All holes are sealed and healed.”
“I follow the direction of my Soul’s protection.”
The following extra-intuitive activities aren’t required, but they can really help you excel in creating the very best of your talents, interests and passions…
Future Pacing
Future pacing is a way to deepen the effects of any mind body healing by projecting a preferred outcome into the future. You can use that idea to solidify what you’ve just learned about how to trust your gut instincts.
Remember that when instinct is out of balance, it’s easy to get lost. There is a lack of courage and everything is about avoidance – avoiding getting caught, procrastination and avoiding responsibility. In extremes, this gives rise to panic, scapegoating and disassociation.
I think most people agree that it would be better to get back into balance and go for joy instead!
