Pull Back and Redirect Your Life Force with Lizard Medicine ~
Self-care and Personal Growth through Gifts from the Rainforest:
9. The Lizard is very pragmatic about self-preservation and deftly instructs us on how to quickly let go of whatever is threatening our safety or personal integrity.
Do you need to let go of a dream that’s turned into a nightmare?
Are you overly invested in an abusive person, institution or ideology?
If so, what can you do?
Healing Action: Separate from obligations and allegiances that connect you with falsehood. Drop life destructive plans or relationships in favor of life affirming ones.
A Lizard’s Tale
The lizard is a master of adaptation.
She can change her color to blend
into her environment.
She can stand remarkably still
and run remarkably fast.
If her enemies grab her by the tail,
she simply lets it go
and grows a new one.
She knows that life is a dream
and she is the dreamer.
She cannot control her circumstances,
but she can control how she reacts to them.
Listen to her sage advice:
“It is better to lose your tail than to lose your life.
You can always grow a new one.”
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 Lizard Medicine:
Any experience in life or the dreamtime requires an investment of energy, time, space and/or attention. If you’re having trouble with an experience, the best, most peaceful way to handle it is to cut off the investment from your end.
You may think you’re fine, yet the Lizard is here to warn you that you’re deceiving yourself in a fundamental way. Others are trying to hold you to standards or expectations that are harmful to your health and wellbeing. It’s time, maybe even past time, to chase down the possibilities and make corrections. Befriend the Lizard and ask her Circle:
Are you being overly naive about certain people, establishments or belief systems and not seeing them as they truly are behaving?
Are you being taken advantage of by others by doing their work for them or trying to make up for their indiscretions? Do you have your Free Will?
Are you tying yourself down to duty and obligation? What is the purpose in doing that?
Are you confused about what the true meaning of love and friendship is?
What does your intuition tell you about what’s really going on in this situation?
Be honest with yourself, what is the real reason you’re feeling obligated?
Look at the Circle again to help you know what to do about your situation:
Accept the damage and the truth of your situation.
Make a plan for letting go.
Know what you must do to follow through.
Once you deal with the changes you must make, you will realize that letting go is often a blessing in disguise.

Is the Way You Handle Irritations Working for You or Impairing Your Health?
Do you handle irritations by flying off the handle, cursing out loud, or is it more like a slow burn? Some people are able to ignore their feelings, put on a happy face and set their grievances aside only to wind up paying for it much later with serious health problems.
Certainly, it seems that everywhere and every day, there are plenty of things to be irritated about. However, are you letting them drain your energy or sour your mood? Do they keep you up at night? Are you dangerously close to lashing out at others, even those that you hold most dear?
Well, if that’s happening, you’re certainly not alone. These are all ways that we keep “scratching the itch” and make bad situations worse.
This is a great subject to journal about for your own personal growth. You can turn irritations into positive progress, and this Mind Exercise is here to help you do that.
Simply relax and gaze at the Intuitive Learning Circles while contemplating the accompanying positive affirmations and questions. Going through the process will help you discover how well you’re handling irritations and what you can do to improve.
So, get out a pen and paper and let’s get started…
An irritation is there to alert you of a problem. Use Chigger Medicine to slow down and tune into what’s bothering you.
What is a problem that’s been irritating you? Pick one and write it down.
Often, an irritation communicates on several levels. Ask yourself:
“How is this irritation affecting me physically?
Mentally?
Emotionally?
What about spiritually?”
Does it remind you of something that has happened before? If so, how far back does it go?
In what ways do you keep “scratching the itch?”
Is that working for you? If not, are you open to an alternative path?
Keep writing until you feel confident you’ve gotten all the information.
MIND BODY INTEGRATION
For best results, look at each Circle both crossed over the midline of the body and uncrossed so that the correction is more complete.
Engage in a Change in Perception to Help You Handle Irritations.
Because of recent changes in your life, It’s possible that your sense of this irritation needs a shift in focus. Look at your situation from a different angle or through a different filter. You can get some help with that by relaxing with these affirmations:
Rational Thought Chakras
“I reclaim and balance my five senses.”
“I use them to become aware of how my environment or situation has changed.”
“I focus them to be present and aware of my current needs.”
“I gain clear awareness of alternative paths that hold beneficial resources, solutions, opportunities and _________.”
At any point In this exercise, you may need to handle blockages or reversals in your chakras or energy field.
Heal Blockages & Reversals
Use this symbol to help you smooth out any reversals, glitches or jagged edges.
“I bring my energy system back into balance and flow.”
This may take several minutes, however, it’s well worth whatever time it takes.
You will know you’re done when you can take regular, deep breaths.
Relax and let this Circle help you adjust the volume on your senses so you can handle irritations from a more balanced point of view.
River
Some may be turned up too high, causing anxiety, tension and/or misinformation about what’s really going on. That happens most often with the senses of feeling and hearing. You can use this Circle to help you adjust the volume up or down to just the right level.
Relax and allow your mind to adjust to the best level for clear perception:
Bring your senses into balance and perceive your situation with clarity.
Check in with Fly Medicine to see if your energy is getting drained by this situation.
If so, can you tell how often it happens? Does something seem to trigger it? What goes on mentally?
It probably wouldn’t surprise you if a lot of what’s irritating you is the fact that it’s so draining! Take a few moments to consciously take apart old habits and close down the drains to your energy – like old plumbing lines that need to be closed down completely.
Check Into Emotional Patterns with Alligator Medicine.
Are there other emotional constructs such as compulsions, obsessions, attitudes, addictions, phobias or allergic reactions involved?
In this new energy, you might just be able to collapse them.
Emotional constructs don’t have the same power over you that they used to. What you decide about them has more importance now.
Go ahead and see what happens when you decide to collapse the emotional structures that are jumping around in your mind and causing you harm.
It will help a lot if you make sure that you are re-establishing your energy and positioning yourself in the New Paradigm.
It’s amazing how much it helps to organize your mindset in a new foundation that can actually support your goals.
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 template called “Common Ground for the Common Good” is based on the concepts of equality, peaceful co-operation and balanced prosperity. This imprint encourages us to establish a mindset where we can work with each other and the Planet going into the future.
It’s also very useful to utilize the new quality of life force or chi that’s available through the Element of Air in the new era of Aquarius.
Let this symbol for Divine Protection help you to close down harmful energy channels from the past.
Once they’re shut down, open up to a positive flow of chi’ and connect up with helpful communication channels.
Get centered with Starlight to make sure that you’re navigating your own situation correctly.
See yourself in the center, open space of the Circle and re-orient yourself.
Are you beginning to understand your irritation differently now?
Do you need to reorganize your thoughts? If so, how?
Are you going in the right direction to solve the problem?
What really matters here?
Let Praying Mantis help you focus on solutions.
This is a good time to write down specifics to help you clear away extraneous mental and emotional clutter. Get all that stress off of you by getting it down on paper.
What are some potential solutions in this situation that would really make a difference?
It might help to move, stretch, draw, doodle or journal via a stream of consciousness. Art often brings in creative inspiration and self-care from your Soul!
Let Rat Medicine help you get specific about what needs to happen to clear the irritation.
Is this situation genuinely detrimental to your physical, mental, emotional health? What about the spiritual level?
Is there something that needs to be cleared out? Re-arranged? Moved? Added? Does something need to be reorganized or removed entirely?
This could be internal or external in your physical environment.
* If you have a copy of The Essential Human, now would be a good time to use the process on page 10 to help you make corrections for a healthy and full expression of the power that comes from your Essential Self. Choose from The Essential Human charts #1 – 42.
Detach from harmful emotional patterns and connect with beneficial qualities that will help you in this new energy.
Check in with Armadillo to see if any parts of you are still pulling your experience from dangerous or nightmarish experiences you’ve had in the past.
Are you protecting yourself appropriately?
If you are, Congratulations! You can be done with this exercise.
If you’re not, is there a number from The Essential Human between #1 – 42 that would help you make the correction?
To continue: Clear attachments and residual toxic energies.
There may be something attached to you that you’re not aware of. It could be an irritation that comes from toxic exposure or an emotional attack that could cause allergies and even addictions.
Like a healing balm, imagine that a loving coat of peace and comfort is pouring down over you.
Attachments and conflicts are melting away. Relax. Breathe. Take your time and move around if you need to.
Make sure that your energy isn’t scattered or being drained anymore.
If it’s not complete, what else do you think is needed?
Make a note of what that is so that you remember to follow through.
Pull back any parts of youthat are getting sucked intoa negative situation.
Close the drain for good.
Realign with your Soul.
Are you open to the positive vibration of your Soul?
Are you willing to slow down and let your Soul help you in this situation?
Most importantly, are you willing to forgive yourself so that you can let go of your irritation?
If so, this is a good time to let a white light of forgiveness clear away any darkness from around you. Stay with it until it’s cleared completely. Be sure you feel at peace with yourself.
“I forgive myself for getting irritated.”
If you are Attuned to Reiki, this is a perfect time to use it!
Excellent!
Bring closure by closing any leaks, holes or pathways that might leave you open to that irritation and the problems it brings.
“All holes are sealed and healed.
I follow the direction of my Soul’s protection.”
It’s time to get yourself grounded.
Notice how much better you feel. You will feel even better if you are grounded. What do you need to do to get yourself fully grounded in the New Paradigm?
You may need to go for a walk, rub your feet or ground spiritually.
Congratulations! You now have a way to handle irritations more objectively, with a different perspective and without the intense energy drain! Now is a good time to make sure you follow through on grounding yourself.

Establish Personal Energy and Boundaries with Stingray Medicine
Self-care and Personal Growth through Gifts from the Rainforest
#13 Stingray Medicine – can detect and repel foreign energies that cause harm, conflict or confusion. Align your intentions with your energy to keep healthy boundaries.
Are you feeling victimized or under attack? If so, what would help?
Is there something you need to do to protect the integrity of your personal energy?
Healing Action: Access information about your personal space. Position yourself in relation to others correctly. Activate protection with a shamanic “Ring of Fire.”
Respecting the Stingray
The Stingray swiftly and surely repels its predators.
It is not malicious, yet it leaves no room for
error or indifference.
Those who are ignorant of its powerful presence
will promptly learn to be cautious and distance
themselves from his territory.
There are times on our spiritual journey when
nothing less than Stingray medicine is called for.
Separate yourself from error, ignorance,
doubt, and indifference in whatever form it takes.
There is no error in this.
Listen to Stingray when he says:
“Keep your eyes looking forward on all that is
good and true and repel the rest.”
Mind Body Integration

Further Exploration into Stingray Medicine:
Stingray Medicine
Stingray medicine is about protection and the importance of maintaining healthy boundaries if you want to live in wholeness and integrity. For example, if you’re a people pleaser, it may be that you’re so used to multiple energies hanging around that you don’t realize they’re not you! Regardless of why they’re there, it’s best to move them out of your field as soon as possible.
To solve your dilemma, return to the source of your true nature and connect with gratitude.
Ask yourself a few honest questions: Do you tend to take on other people’s energy in order to get along with them better? Do other people often take advantage of you? What would happen if you could say “no” without guilt or excuses? Do you feel pulled this way and that?
Examine your intentions and see if they line up with what’s actually happening. If you’re confused by what you see, that immediately explains why things have not been going the way you’ve wanted them to. Clear intentions get clear results.
Look into the middle of Stingray’s Circle and ask: “What is my intention?” Wait for a clear answer to come back. Then ask, “Is my energy matching up with that intention?”
If your intention is unclear, ask your heart, “How can I properly communicate what I want? Do I have my free will?”
To make a correction in your energy, keep affirming your intention in the present tense while gazing at the Circle. You may be guided to other Helpers or processes to shift your energy and ground firmly in your intention.
When you send a clear and unified message, there can be no confusion about what you intend to do. If someone is interfering with your intentions, visualize a Ring of Fire around you for protection and then suggest an alternate path for them to take.

Self-care and Personal Growth through Gifts from the Rainforest
#49 Old Sol – like the Sun, the Soul is ever present. When we allow Soul guidance and access the wisdom of our Higher Selves, we hold that same power of Light within.
What does your Soul want to communicate?
What guidance do you need?
Are you feeling disconnected? If so, what would help?
Healing Action: Breathe and open your heart. Calm, clear connection to our Higher Wisdom helps us access intuition and unconditional Love.
Old Sol
When we were children, there was a presence
that was with us always.
It knew who we were and what we came here to experience.
Some would call it the Soul.
As we grew up, we were taught about
losing and winning, bad and good, male and female.
Soon we forgot who we were and became “socialized” instead.
The mind became more and more important
and Soul faded further into the background.
Nevertheless, it is still there – just like the Sun,
emitting life, love, and joy
whether we can see it or not.
It is time to reclaim our connection with this inner knowing
and let it show us the way back to the garden.
Breathe deeply and listen to your heart.

Further Exploration into Soul Guidance from Old Sol:
Old Sol – The Sun
It’s time to get back in contact with your Soul. The ego has been telling you wild and complicated stories, complete with the good guys and the bad guys. This condition has prevented your freedom and kept you trapped in loneliness and isolation. Allow others to be close to you by dropping your defenses. You are not alone and you never have been. Unfortunately, the ego doesn’t understand the larger story about love and the decision about whether or not you want more of it in your life.
Learn to recognize the differences between the Soul and the small mind:
~ The critical ego doesn’t like to take chances; the heart and Soul thrive on them.
~ The critical ego idealizes the past; the heart and Soul live in the present.
~ The critical ego fears the future; the heart and Soul embrace it.
Gently meditate on Old Sol, open your heart and let love heal it. If you are confused, imagine you can bring your awareness and attention into the center, open space of the Circle. Once you have that focus, ask any question you like and allow the answer to come back through a clear channel between you and your Soul. When you really pay attention and make room for your Soul’s presence, you’ll quickly learn that you’re loved and accepted unconditionally.
This medicine can also alert you as to whether you’re being pushy, over active or running too hot. Ask: “What is really needed here?” Slow down and listen to what your Soul has to say.
Look past the superficial differences and conflicts in your life and get to the heart of who you really are, what you really want and how you want to be along your journey.
You are free to be yourself. This could be an excellent time to draw, paint or dance. The heart and Soul loves to express beauty through the creative arts. Open up and allow yourself this sweet experience!

#7 Snake Medicine announces transcendence and initiation into a new stage of life. By peeling away any “old skin”, we are able to move on freely.
Have you noticed a fundamental change in yourself or in a relationship that needs to be consciously attended to?
Is there some extreme behavior you have outgrown and need to let go of?
Healing Action: See yourself and your situation as they really are. Let go of old, negative habits. Shed old personalities and extreme behavior.
Snake Sheds its Skin
The snake renews itself periodically by shedding its skin,
revealing a new and more vibrant version of itself.
Like the snake, you have transcended
the limitations of who you thought you were.
Your appearance no longer suits you.
Peel away the mask that hides your beauty.
Honor the old.
Celebrate the new.

Further Exploration into Snake Medicine:
Snake Medicine
You have activated your spiritual will and are now moving toward a higher purpose for you and your world. You’re ready to go beyond the extreme “either/or” mentality and graduate to the “and” consciousness of balance and unity.
You’re beginning to understand that things are not either black or white, good or bad – swinging from one extreme to the other. They exist together in the vast continuum of all that exists between Heaven and Earth.
Let the dual aspects of Snake teach you how to strike a meaningful balance. She may advise you to expel extreme ideas that have been poisoning your hopes and dreams. She knows that ideas are like air – they are everywhere, traveling freely, belonging to no one. If you like an idea, apply it to your life and pass it on. If you don’t like it, just let it go.
With this new perspective, you may want to revisit lost hopes and see if you desire to incorporate them back into your life. The way to do this is to bring different levels of yourself into balance by addressing the following forms of extravagance and ignorance:
Complete unfinished business.
Clear up debts that you owe or are owed.
Speak up regarding issues that have been bothering you.
Be done with disloyalty towards your Soul’s purpose, such as petty dramas and ego games.
Come back into your power.
Doing these things will help you set yourself right with the natural flow of the Universe and give you new energy to accomplish your dreams. The critical mind may object, often very loudly, however you now recognize that the ego is not to be trusted when it comes to matters of integrity and/or personal power. These are significant blocks that have hindered inner transformation up until this point. If you ignore them, your energy will be drawn back into feeding negativity and fear.
If you are dealing with your shadow side and healing disloyalty, shed any lies that you may have been telling yourself. These lies come in the form of extremes, denial, jealousy, judgment or vengeance, which have created imbalance and illness within you.
Shamans often refer to this kind of healing as “uncrossing your path”, and the truth is, we always do it to ourselves, usually by following someone else’s path, rather than our own. Successfully making this transition into Unity and Love will expand the possibilities regarding where you can go.
See yourself and your situation as they really are. In that way you will rid yourself of indecision and move forward into your higher good.

Feng Shui Tips for Handling Recent Changes in Your Environment:
Rheanni Lightwater
When going through a radical change, it’s a great help to clean out certain areas of our homes and keep an eye on how well the energy is moving. While we’re rearranging things, we can reorganize our intentions to adapt to the changes in our environment and circumstances. When we take the time to do that, we’re allowing a physical and psychological space to open up for new things to come in and help us adjust both inwardly and outwardly.
For example, I have a lot of crystals and a prayer pipe that I consider sacred. Early on in my Feng Shui practice, I got a strong message that I need to regularly clear out my pipe, cleanse those crystals and rearrange other significant objects to accommodate the changes in the I Ching flow. Why is that so important?
— Because crystals, prayer containers and other significant personal objects can hold onto a great deal of energy and old intentions.
In order to keep my mind and energy flexible, I don’t want to be held back by the gravity of those old energies, including those that marked the end of the Piscean Age. Since the Winter Equinox of 2022, the nature of chi’ or life force flowing through the Tao has changed to an Air based flow (Aquarius) rather than the previous Water based flow.
Let this symbol help you make the adjustment needed.
“I close down all harmful energy channels from the old paradigm.”
Divine Protection in the New Paradigm
“I allow my mind and body to acclimate to this lighter, quicker life force.” “I learn to receive generative life force and use it to communicate with my environment.”
Also, I don’t want to be blocked by old intentions and outdated agreements that aren’t relevant anymore. They only perpetuate inner conflict or confusion, especially now that we’re obviously in a very different space!
For example, when the pandemic started, I got the strong guidance to “change with the changes and still stay grounded.” In the early summer of 2020, my inner guidance was to “bring light and balanced prosperity into my mindset and environment.” at the Winter Solstice I was guided to pray for “safe transition into the New Paradigm”. Now my intention is “I am firmly grounded in the New Paradigm and have Divine Protection.” These are pretty big changes, and I’m sure there will be many more to come!
Big changes in your environment can be supported with the help of Reiki, strong intention and clear crystals.
To cleanse crystals, I gather them up from around my house and property and then place them in a bowl of water mixed with sea salt. Around the full moon, I’m guided to set them outside for a day or two to cleanse. That way, they will get really clear through an infusion of both Sun and Moon light. Then, I set a new strong and focused intention with those crystals, based on what is needed now.
Notice that I didn’t say, “please keep the coronavirus away,” or “please be sure that civil war doesn’t break out.” If I were to set intentions based on things I don’t want to happen, my whole mindset would start to unconsciously fixate on all the uncertainty and fear that these things attract. To make things even worse, the energy in my environment should start to organize around the fixation. That’s exactly opposite of what I want!
I also don’t want to make intentions frivolously or ask for so many new things that I unwittingly create chaos, conflict and confusion.
So, when I set intentions in turbulent times, I calm myself down first. Once the shock is abated and my mind is clear of anxiety, I ask for a life affirming experience that’s general enough to allow positive change to occur and that makes sense under my current circumstances. That part is especially important since we know the changes we’re going through are liable to continue for some time. Then, I set up the energy in my living space to organize around the new intention by mindfully placing the crystals and/or sacred objects as I’m guided.
Once I’ve set my intention in the space, I pay attention to what I start to attract. If I start attracting chaos, conflict or confusion, I know that I need to reassess my intention and reorganize it.
I don’t waste my time beating myself up for having made a mistake or not doing it “perfectly”. After all, this is a whole new energy we’re in. We’re at the very beginning of one Age, while the other has departed entirely! It’s going to take a while for our minds to adjust. Mistakes are going to happen. Just get back up, clear your mind and be willing to let go of your assumptions about how you thought things were going to be.
If you’re interested in this process of reassessing and reorganizing your intention, You might be interested in an extra intuitive exercise I’ve put together.

Self-care and Personal Growth through Gifts from the Rainforest
#12 Rat energy warns us about the dangers of an untended, cluttered mind. When we cleanse our minds regularly, spiritual growth and happiness is affirmed.
Have you been physically, mentally, emotionally or spiritually polluted with some kind of garbage?
If so, what is your best response?
Healing Action: Clear the landscape of your mind regularly. Release mental and emotional garbage to the Light. Make it a space for blessings, rather than curses
The Hungry Rat
The rat feeds off of those things that have been discarded
and left to rot without thought.
When this condition is ignored,
dis-ease and pestilence is allowed to spread
throughout the entire community,
infecting even those on the periphery
who are innocent.
Do not leave your business unfinished
if you wish to be free of vermin.
Clean your house and learn from what has been wasted.
In that way, you may use your experiences to fuel
your spiritual growth and continued happiness.
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 Circle while contemplating its message and positive affirmations. Your intuition will come forward and give you the help that you seek.
Further Exploration into Rat Energy:
Rat medicine is about a necessary aspect of realizing inner peace. Disengage from negative mass consciousness with its messages of separation, inadequacy, paranoia, and fear. Imagine that the Circle can help you sweep them all up to the Light. Then, once your mind is clear, it’s much easier to align yourself with the mass consciousness of Love.
The personal ego supports the collective ego through denial and blocking energy, which allows toxic thoughts, emotions, attitudes and beliefs to flourish.
Rat Energy
When your mind starts racing and you’re too busy to stop and take a deep breath, you’re identifying with the herd mentality of the collective ego. Catch yourself before your ego runs away completely.
Stop to clear your mind by breathing deeply. You would do well to cleanse your inner landscape regularly, because there’s quite a bit of litter.
Ask Rat Energy about the current state of your mental and spiritual hygiene: “Are there any liars pulling at me? Am I leaving myself open to any untruths?”
If so, get quiet and close the doors on all that noise so you can get a better understanding of what’s happening.
If you have trouble meditating or being still, look at the Circle and tell yourself to stop focusing on what you’re trying to accomplish and relax. Let your mind calm down and notice how the body calms down as well.
Get peaceful and then send some of that peace out into the world. If you do this for yourself, activities and relationships will flow much easier.

Welcome to a Transformation Game to Help You Balance Your Crown Chakra and Shift Your Consciousness:
The crown chakra is located on the crown or top of the head. When clear, this energetic wheel of light vibrates with the colors white and/or gold and influences the entire endocrine system via the pineal gland. If you can open and balance your Crown Chakra, you’re keeping an important link with your spiritual essence clear.
Not only that, when your Crown Chakra is open and integrating well with the rest of your body, you can tap into how you manage your natural cycles, hormones and rhythms that govern self-care and improve sleep.
These are all ingredients for a life affirming, peaceful state of mind.
Unfortunately, the proliferation of harmful toxins and electro-magnetic frequencies in our environment can clog up important energy centers. If you’ve been having trouble with your sleep or connecting with your inner guidance, you can go through this chakra meditation to help you let go of those toxins.
Begin with this Reiki Chakra Key for the five senses, which will help bring your perception of things into greater balance. Use these positive affirmations:
“I connect with and balance my five senses.”
“I use them to be aware of changes in my natural rhythms and to help me get balanced.”
“I sense things accurately – as they are really happening for me in the present, so that I can align with my highest good.”
Your chakras could be having a difficult time adjusting to all the significant changes that are taking place. Sudden reversals, blockages and changes in momentum can cause disruptions in our subtle energy system.
This Soul Star Correction Key can help you correct any rough glitches or reversals that you may be experiencing.
Relax with it for a few minutes until your sense of things smooths out and you can begin to feel the energy of your Soul coming through.
Next, open and balance your Third Chakra located in your solar plexus, the area in front where your ribs go up.
Your Psyche or Essential Self resides most effectively in your Third Chakra. This is the place where it can most effectively connect with the rest of your body. The existence of the Essential Self is discussed in many cultures and disciplines. Other names would be your Inner Child, the Authentic Self, the Golden Child or the Basic Self. Regardless of what it’s called, you can think of it as your gut instincts or “I am” essence.
Keeping this “home space” clear and open is important, so take all the time you need!
Now that your Essence is present, let’s see if you can gently open and balance your Fourth or Heart Chakra. Gaze softly at the Reiki Chakra Key below for a minute or so.
When your heart center is open and balanced, you can naturally feel the energy radiating out into the world. You are a light in this world!
Next, open and align your Master Chakras with your Heart Chakra. This will help to clarify and empower your intentions.
Now it’s time to open and balance your Crown Chakra. Gaze softly at the Reiki Chakra Key below for a minute or two. When it feels like the energy is moving, actively imagine a channel opening up at the very top of your head – like a fountain, letting go of any blockage and interference that may be there.
“I decide to open my Crown Chakra and bring it into balance.”
Once the initial rush of energy is released at the Crown, the fountain will naturally subside.
Let’s not forget to open and balance the chakras for your pineal gland itself (every gland, organ and joint has at least one chakra). The pineal gland produces melatonin, which helps maintain the sleep-wake cycle known as the circadian rhythm and regulate reproductive hormones. Be patient with this one because pineal glands often get clogged up with toxic residue.
“I relax and let my pineal gland relax and clear itself out.”
Now let’s strengthen and reweave the subtle hara lines that connect all these chakras like a beautiful web of light!
To finish this section, clear harmful thoughts and clutter out of the landscape of your mind. Imagine they’re like leftover garbage and you can simply sweep them all away!
Decide that you will no longer allow others to dump their garbage into your mind. Close the door that lets all that garbage in!
Congratulations! You’ve cleared and balanced your Crown Chakra and associated energy fields. Now you’ve set yourself up to function more effectively in the New Paradigm and shift your consciousness to accommodate your new intentions.
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…
The energy is changing! We’re moving from the Piscean Age (water) into the Aquarian (air), which works quite differently from what we’re used to.
You may need to release some agreements that are preventing you from ADAPTING to the changes. Use this Soul Contract Circle to identify and release conditioning that contributes to struggling, being fearful or out of balance. Simply gaze softly at the Circle while you use the affirmations. Actively imagine those old contracts burning up as you go through this process.
“I clear any agreements I have to panic, over-think or _________.”
I let go of harmful intentions, rhythms, patterns or energies.”
“I let go of harmful ideas, misunderstandings and false guidance.”
You might also want to make new agreements using these suggestions:
“My new agreement is to take good care of myself. I am a priority.”
“I slow down and ask for help from my Spirit to ____________.”
“I am open to spontaneous suggestions from my Soul to __________. Examples: Rest and relax. Take frequent walks in nature. Wash my hands thoroughly with a calm state of mind. Drink clear, refreshing water. Take epson salt baths and use cleansing products with natural clay, etc.
Take several minutes to gaze softly at #32 Condor from Gifts from the Rainforest. This Circle can help you de-magnetize static that contributes to over-thinking, fixations, conflicts or irritation.
“I relax and allow the stress to melt away with every breath I take.”
“I release my grip on feelings of confusion, fear or panic.”
“I let go of mental patterns of compulsive thinking and being hard on myself.”
“I am open to gentler ways of thinking and being.”
You’ll know you’ve let go when you can easily visualize and feel a more relaxed way of being. “All aspects of my Essence are willing to relax and take it easy so I can enjoy life better.”
Continue to breathe deeply with this Circle. Imagine that any resistance you may be feeling is loosening up and blowing away, like leaves in the wind.
You might want to move around, shake or rock your body to help you actualize it physically. Take all the time you need!
Let this symbol help you seal off any harmful energy channels that you’ve been open to (do that both crossed and uncrossed over the midline of your body).
“I close down harmful energy channels.” “My mind and body are open to receive generative life force.”
“I connect with life affirming channels of communication.”
Now let’s see if you’ve cleared your Self enough to connect with your true hearts desire.
“What would I genuinely like to experience?”
What do you need to help you be in the flow with Nature and get back into sync with it?
Allow the energy of your Soul to come in and fill your consciousness with its life giving vibration. This is your Soul Color. Let it fill your body, your mind and into your aura.
Empower this new chain of communication channels with your Soul. If you feel like you don’t exist, imagine that your Soul can gently connect with your Essence through your heart center. Ask to be empowered in accordance with your highest good!
Breathe deeply while the adjustments take hold.
Once you feel empowered, finish the shift by sending any destructive mental or emotional patterns to the Light with this symbol for dissolving destructive blueprints.
“I let go of outdated ways of thinking and emotional stress.
I send all blockages and interference to the Light to be transformed.”
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!
Once the patterns are cleared, give your heart and Soul some relief through closure.
“All leaks, tears or damages to my aura are repaired and refocused. My energy is my own.”
Congratulations! Once you feel complete, go back now to the Crown Chakra at the beginning of this exercise and see if you notice a difference in how the energy is moving. When your Crown Chakra is open and balanced, your consciousness, your mood and your natural cycles are greatly improved.
