Four Seasons
Staying in Sync with the Four Seasons ~
Self-care and Personal Growth through Gifts from the Rainforest:
46. The Four Seasons – Each season reminds us to follow the natural cycles of life. Staying in sync with them brings harmony to body, mind and spirit.
Are you out of sync?
Are you worrying about the future or stuck in the past?
What would help you remedy that so you can enjoy being in the present?
Healing Action: Bring yourself into the present by becoming aware of your body and your environment. Come back into alignment with the natural cycles of Life.
The Circle of Life
All of life follows a natural cycle of
birth, growth, decay and regeneration.
However, the ego becomes impatient and
wants to see immediate results.
It longs for the green of summer all year long.
The creatures of the rainforest
laugh because they know this is folly.
The plants cry because they know
the danger in this kind of thinking.
Allow the seasons to teach you
how to reconnect to the joy and fulfillment
that is available in each moment.
There is no time but now.
Bring yourself into harmony with what is.

Further Exploration into the Healing Circle of the Four Seasons:
This Circle of Life beckons you to step into the simplicity of being here now. The small mind thinks that doing so would be too difficult. Why is that?
Perhaps it fears the loss of control that comes with being open and receptive. After all, birth, death and rebirth seem like scary things, yet if we cling to these fears, we will never taste the sweetness of life.
A fearful mind organizes itself around dissatisfaction and all the reasons why things couldn’t possibly work out. It loves to fixate on all the reasons not to do something rather than the benefits that could be reaped from moving forward. The fear of approaching winter causes it to hoard. It idealizes the birth of spring and yet resists the change that’s required. It makes up stories about how things would be so much better if others just conformed to its way of doing things. It likes to take snapshots. It doesn’t like the chaos of change.
We could be much happier if we would relax and organize around the natural circle of life that accepts change and goes with it. Watch how the plants and animals handle this and you will come to understand that you can never go back to the way you were yesterday. By the same token, you can never know exactly what the future holds.
The Circle itself can help you know whether or not your environment needs to adapt though a good feng shui treatment or space clearing. Just contemplate the environment you’re concerned about and gaze softly into the Circle. When you’re ready, ask: ”Is the layout and flow in my environment in sync with Nature or out of sync? If it’s not, what might help?”
Life is best experienced in the present. Accept that you and your environment are constantly changing.

Monkey Medicine
Casting Stones of Forgiveness with Monkey Medicine
Self-care and Personal Growth through Gifts from the Rainforest
#28 Monkey – Monkey offers an opportunity to respond differently in the face of cruelty, shame or blame. Learn how to use your energy more wisely. Life has so much more to offer!
Are you spending too much time fighting and finding fault with others?
Is your life too hard? If so, what would you rather be doing?
Healing Action: Identify if you’re involved in harmful group think, curses, grudges or bad attitudes. Repairing the damage done begins by forgiving yourself first.
Angry Monkey
The angry mind is like an angry monkey.
It swings wildly from one tree to another,
casting coconuts and squealing curses at the top of its lungs.
The monkey-mind eagerly casts insults and stones
on friends and enemies alike whenever it feels threatened.
It has no thought about what consequences have been put into motion.
Vigilantly monitor your monkey mind.
How is it feeding you with poison?
Learn to deflect ill will from others by refusing to take their threats personally.
Their curses are merely a reflection of how they feel about themselves.
Cultivate humility when you think ill of others.
Your curses are merely a reflection of how you feel about yourself.
Approach it with compassion, and nourish it
with the milk of human kindness.
Forgiveness begins within.
Mind Body Integration
For best results, gaze softly at the Circle both crossed over the midline of the body and uncrossed so that the communication is more complete.
Intuitive Learning Circles help you access your inner guidance and self-confidence to make proactive changes. Simply relax and gaze at the Circles while contemplating its message and positive affirmations. Your intuition will come forward and give you the help that you seek.
Further Exploration into Monkey Medicine:
Monkey medicine speaks of the need to clear your mind of preconceived ideas and concepts that have been cursing your attempts to be peaceful and happy. Somehow, an angry mind is dominating the situation.
As you gaze at the Circle, relax and ask your Soul: “Am I mad at myself? Is someone else mad at me? What am I afraid of?”
Monkey is showing us that within every stone that’s cast against another is an opportunity to learn and respond differently. Redeem yourself first and a path will open that leads to forgiving others. Take that opportunity and your life will change forever.
It could be that you’re being a projection to someone because they’re seeing something in you that they don’t like about themselves. On the other hand, you may feel like others are throwing accusations or ridicule at you simply because that’s what you expect them to do.
Don’t fall for such wasteful mental activity! Look deeper into your own insecurities. This may seem unpleasant at first, but there’s a gift waiting for you if you’re willing to get to the bottom of this predicament. Usually it involves letting go of an old way of thinking about yourself and the world.
The monkey may also be exposing a collective illusion that’s been bedeviling you in this situation. See it for what it is. Break the spell that keeps you from being who you truly are in the face of destructive group think. Once you can transcend the lie that’s being told, a new connection will be opened to you.
Gently coax your monkey mind out of the dark undergrowth of fear and resentment. Bring it into the light of day. Using Love and Forgiveness, encourage it to swing freely through the trees until it can travel to the very highest regions of the forest canopy with ease!

Shamans Leaves
Let Go of Mental Resistance with Shaman’s Leaves
Self-care and Personal Growth through Gifts from the Rainforest:
32. Shaman’s Leaves – When the mind goes into survival mode, it can bring progress to a complete stop. Shaman’s leaves shake out resistance and fear so that the journey can continue.
What are you afraid of?
What would you like to shake off?
What mental confusion needs to be cleared away?
What would help you do that?
Healing Action: Ego is trying to control you through fear or panic. Do not abandon your efforts. Persist. Sit up. Breathe. Shake it out! Now is not the time to give in.
The Shaman’s Leaves
On shamanic journeys, resistance is expected.
When this happens, the small mind
will think up every possible reason to give up
and retreat from your Soul’s journey.
The shaman then brings out his dried leaves
and shakes them in your face
for however long it takes
for the small mind to surrender.
These dried leaves contain yellow magic –
the courage to endure against all
manipulations of the mind.
See your fear for what it is.
Stay with it.
Endure.

Further Exploration into the Medicine of the Shaman’s Leaves:
You’ve decided that things are supposed to happen in a certain way and because of your limited thinking, you’re about to give up. Don’t. Shaman’s Leaves can help clear the blockage.
- If you can stop thinking so much and open to the possibility of different scenarios, the block can remove itself.
- If you can open yourself up to new ideas the world will respond to you differently.
- If you refuse, you remain chained to outmoded thoughts, habits and behaviors that will naturally lead to self-defeat and self-pity.
- If you’re waiting for a guarantee, you’ll just keep delaying the completion of your goal.
- If your mind is telling you that something should be happening in a certain way ask your heart: “According to who and how would they know?”
- If you don’t have much self-discipline, now is a good time to develop some.
Do you need to stop trying to force something to work out a certain way and just trust the process? Nature has a way of righting things on its own; allow this to work for you.
It could be that a recurring pattern of post-traumatic stress is blocking your mind and making it hard to think clearly. Pent up energy needs to be released. Let the Circle help your body do what it needs to do. Use your breath, rhythmic motion, sound and visuals to bring the blockage up and shake it out. Once the stagnant energy is released, allow your body and nervous system to calm down with slower, deeper breaths and soft, rocking movements.
It could also be that early childhood and/or cultural conditioning is blocking your spiritual connection. Take the pressure off of having to be a certain way. Doing the opposite of what you think you should do is often the cure. Visualize a warm breeze blowing anxious thoughts up and out of your mind, like a little whirlwind of leaves.
To expand your awareness of what’s possible, combine Shaman’s Leaves with the Vine of the Soul.

Garden Medicine
Cultivate Your Dreams with Garden Medicine
Self-care and Personal Growth through Gifts from the Rainforest
#44 Garden Medicine – The beauty of Mother Earth inspires and nourishes your heart. Cultivate your personal garden and grow dreams that will, in turn, support the Common Good.
Are you in your garden or someone else’s?
Is it positioned properly to be prosperous?
Is there something about it that isn’t right or needs to be tended?
Healing Action: Tend to the personal dream that lives in your heart by nourishing it with Love and gratitude. Live your own dream and protect it well.
The Sacred Garden
The gifts of Mother Earth are all around us
if only we have eyes to see.
This garden of life has nourished us throughout the ages
with oxygen, nutrients, sacred medicine,
and the sweet dream of how this planet could be.
The Earth’s beauty and life-giving richness
has been stamped upon and pompously disregarded by the ego,
because it is afraid.
Afraid to find out that perhaps, it isn’t
really all that important.
That perhaps, we might be just fine
if we all gave up trying to control each other and share instead.
Have you forgotten your own garden –
the one that lives in your heart?
It has always been there, waiting for your return
if only you have eyes to see.
Mind Body Integration
For best results, gaze softly at the Circle both crossed over the midline of the body and uncrossed so that the communication is more complete.
Intuitive Learning Circles help you access your inner guidance and self-confidence to make proactive changes. Simply relax and gaze at the Circles while contemplating its message and positive affirmations. Your intuition will come forward and give you the help that you seek.
Further Exploration into Garden Medicine:
It’s decision time – time to get off the fence. Your ego is filling you with fear, distractions, confusion and double talk. Even worse, it has you focusing on all your problems instead of your blessings. Release your fear by coming back to the simple wisdom of nature – cause and effect, giving and receiving, activity and rest. Each one naturally includes the other.
You may have turned away from your divinity and allowed your ego to call the shots. It’s time to take back your true nature by reclaiming your true heart’s desire.
Did you lose heart when you bought into the ego’s idea that “the other man’s grass is always greener”?
To find out, gaze at the Circle and ask: “Am I satisfied with what I’ve got?”
If not, why not? Then ask: “Who told me I couldn’t have my true heart’s desire? Who said I wasn’t good enough?”
It’s time to take back your true nature by reclaiming your true heart’s desire. Release your agreement with whoever it was that put restrictions on what you can receive. Even better, release your agreement with dissatisfaction itself!
Accept that when things happen within you, they can also happen in the world around you. That means if you come from a place of lack internally, you will tend to create more lack externally. Stop putting restrictions on what you can receive and allow natural abundance.
Your personal dream needs care and nourishment. When you appreciate what you have, you cultivate a mindset of true prosperity that can grow naturally without greed or avarice.
You are invited to use this Circle to help you visualize your personal garden where you can rest and nurture your dreams. While you’re there, remember the old adage, “…and as you sow, so shall you reap.”
Look at the Circle and ask your heart, “Am I in my own garden?” If you aren’t, pull yourself back. If you are, look carefully and see if the landscape could use some tending.
