Challenged By Obstacles

Intuitive Reading from the I Ching or Book of Change: Challenged by Obstacles.

Rheanni Lightwater - Obstacles on the Road to Freedom — Rheanni Lightwater, Reiki Master Teacher & Feng Shui Consultant

In this intuitive reading, Soul Resources offers a variety of SOS formulas and Transformation Games using the Intuitive Learning Circles and the I Ching to offer constructive advice when we’re challenged by OBSTACLES.

The I Ching

The original intent of the I Ching was based on an Eastern philosophy of observation and marking changes in natural and human events. Through many centuries and contributions from shamans and master teachers, including Lau Tzu and Confucius, the Book of Change was developed into a full philosophy for applying beneficial human conduct to varying circumstances. The Art of Feng Shui is part of that philosophy. We use The I Ching Workbook, by R.L. Wing, Random House, NYC, NY, 1979 as our preferred translation.

The I Ching Energy ~

Throughout much of late spring and summer, the I Ching energy flow for the United States was in a general state of DANGER, Hexagram #29. Then, on July 21st, the full moon ushered in a surprisingly active flow pattern of CHANGING (Hexagram #49) that opened up a series of unexpected opportunities and positive energy to make significant advances towards freedom.

Now, the energy has gone through a series of CONTRADICTIONS and moved into the flow of #39 OBSTACLES. As a part of this path we have chosen, we are challenged by a massive wave of collective karma that needs to be met with courage and realistic thinking. Extravagant flights of fancy and wishful thinking are being crushed by the realities facing us. Although the OBSTACLES are daunting, the I Ching offers some useful guidance:

“In all worldly paths, OBSTACLES appear naturally throughout the course of time. In matters of power and politics, obstructions must be overcome as they arise if you are to continue on your way. The correct approach requires a certain amount of cunning, for you must either organize a following or align yourself with established leadership in order to prepare an assault. In business concerns, now is an excellent time to hire those who can help you. Or perhaps you should consider joining forces with another. Look for qualities of leadership in these people, qualities that can surmount OBSTACLES standing in the way of longterm objectives.

A more conscientious approach to social matters is required now. The ability to be in the right place at the right time has never been more useful. If you have the opportunity to join with others who inspire you or can help you with your endeavors, do so. Also, turn your attention inward in social situations and notes those OBSTACLES you create for yourself.

Many of your external OBSTACLES are, in fact, internally generated. Whether you create them in the process of acting out internal conflicts, or instinctively choose paths fraught with certain difficulties, they must nevertheless be overcome. These struggles will take place within the Self. Often referred to as inhibitions, such OBSTACLES will block your progress. Yet if you focus your awareness on them and persevere in constructive and positive thoughts, you will experience great good fortune as your developing character strengthens and prepares itself.” ~ Hexagram #39 OBSTACLES, The I Ching Workbook by R. L. Wing, Random House, NYC, NY, 1979

The whole purpose of studying the I Ching in the first place is to help us recognize different life flows, learn how to use them and plan appropriately, so that we may cooperate with the planet and each other more effectively. Hopefully, our study will help us unite and make effective plans when we are challenged by the OBSTACLES we face.

Understanding the Larger Picture ~

There are a lot of hidden aspects about how we interact with ourselves, each other and the planet that are being processed within a patriarchal lens or mindset. The status quo is understandably the framework that our habits, perceptions and beliefs are built around. However, the New Paradigm that we’ve entered requires us to wake up about how unconscious patterns and self destructive habits are poisoning our ability to create Common Ground for the Common Good.

Air - Todays Intuitive Reading — Archetypal Energy of Air

Since we’re no longer being governed by the Water based Element of the Piscean Age, a profusion of fast moving chi’ no longer has the buffer of Water to smooth, soothe, complicate or slow down events. We are now fully in the Age of Aquarius where the primary movement of life force comes through the Element of Air, which is much faster, lighter and quick to change.

In this paradigm shift, the Law of Karma or cause and effect is amplified and very quick to manifest. That means that the old “rules” about fighting – attack and defense – no longer work and are actually pulling us deeper into the chaos and confusion that we so wish to avoid.

By engaging in emotionally based behaviors such as casting spells, spewing curses, or organizing movements based on hatred for the other, we continue to manifest our own OBSTACLES that are increasingly more abrupt, irrational and “in our face”. This is called karmic backlash and will continue to be a profound source of the many OBSTACLES we’ll meet in the coming months.

Is it possible to find more productive ways to organize your own intentions and energy so that something more peaceful and prosperous can happen?

If you can manage to stay present and centered within yourself, you’ll have a much better chance of determining what’s actually best for you. By objectively observing what’s working and what’s not, you’ll build the courage to choose differently – to stand up for yourself so you can take genuinely productive actions without all the karmic backlash. The keys here are to develop self-care habits that strengthen good boundaries, balance and stability.

Meeting Obstacles with The Chinese Zodiac

2024 is the Year of the Yang Wood Dragon in the Chinese Zodiac.

Positive Qualities: Energetic. Confident. Ambitious. Intelligent. Generous.
Challenging Qualities: Unstable. Intolerant. Lack of persistence. Unrealistic.

The Dragon’s Feng Shui Mandala below can give you a sense of what the archetype of the Dragon is about and how it may influence you. If you’re interested, gently contemplate its center and relax. When you’re ready, ask yourself these questions and journal the answers that come:

“What is the most important thing I can focus my energy and effort on during this time in the Year of the Dragon?”

“What is the direction? Why is that important?
How can I utilize the energy of the Dragon to my best advantage?
Are there things I’m wasting time on? Something else I need to know?
Is there something important for me to do?
If so, can I tell what it is and how I would best go about doing it?”

Allow your intuition to come forward and bring guidance from your innermost Self.

**Invite the Dragon archetype and his dynamic energy to advise you as you navigate change and the OBSTACLES in your own life.**

A) Any new path can have distractions, dangers and opportunities that you cannot see clearly. However Dragon warns, “This is too important a time to get bogged down or fall into a hole. Gather your courage and ability to see straight. If you need extra help, call on my energy and confidence. I have plenty to spare.”

Clear Up Your Blind Spots.

B) Transforming change that’s motivated by Joy and Freedom, rather than fear and dread is a wonderful and worthwhile pursuit. Especially when you’ve met with OBSTACLES that make it easy for old habits and conditioning to sneak back in and sabotage any progress that’s been made. Dragon wants to share some important insights about how to keep Joy in the forefront of your mind. Keep Going For Joy – Rather than Perfection.

C) The current OBSTACLES might ensnare you into taking actions that aren’t in your best long term interests. Keep yourself out of trouble’s way by using your extra-intuitive senses. Develop Precognition and Stay Out of Trouble.

D) Finally, there may be others who are threatening you or trying to erode your confidence. If someone is getting to you, get them out of your space immediately: Ground in the Truth and Your Power.

What kind of advice is recommended when we are challenged by OBSTACLES?

Once we ask for something we’ve never had before and take action on it, the Universe presents us with all the reasons why we haven’t been able to manifest it before. Past karma, both collective and individual is likely behind many of the OBSTACLES we’re now facing.

SOS - Soul Oriented Solutions - Todays Intuitive Reading — SOS Symbol

As always, Kuan Yin has offered her assistance through a specially chosen collection of Transformation Games, Mind Exercises and Self-care Formulas. During this time she is advising us to pay particular attention to how we’re keeping our boundaries, balance and stability.

She has joined forces with the help of several Plant and Animal Totems from Gifts from the Rainforest and says, “It is much easier to do the right thing when you are in good company. Following good examples will lead you to success.”

SOS for Help When We’re Challenged by Obstacles ~

The Third Line states:
“If you abandon your present concerns in order to struggle with an external obstacles you are in danger of jeopardizing the security of those close to you and, perhaps, undermining the structure of your life. It would be a good idea to return to your center and reconsider your path.” ~ Hexagram #39 OBSTACLES, The I Ching Workbook by R. L. Wing

6. Get Help for Shock and Symptoms of PTSD. Any of us who are feeling shock could experience disorientation, numbness, mental confusion or fragmentation. This SOS formula offers an opportunity to gently process difficult experiences, heal emotional stress and get centered again.

Root Chakra

Root Chakra Balancing to Stabilize Your Foundation

This mind exercise has been put together to help us stabilize and get support for our lower bodies and more “feminine” energies through the First or Root Chakra.

Our root chakra governs the physical body, our instincts and the assumptions we have about life. Its color is red and is located at the bottom or root of your pelvis. Free flowing energy in your 1st Chakra is essential to generating healthy life energy and having a strong connection to Mother Earth.

Gaze softly at the Root Chakra Key, then ask yourself:

“Do I have a strong foundation for creating physical health?”

“Am I able to maintain a stable connection with the Earth?

If not, can you pick up any impressions as to why that might be? You may want to make a note of what comes up.

“Am I having trouble finding support for my projects?”

“Am I generating creative or destructive fire?”

Are violent or abusive experiences interfering with my health or vitality?”

The health of your Root chakra could be involved with any of these issues. It’s quite easy for toxins and poisonous energies to build up in this energy center and sabotage your ability to manifest.

Continue your inquiry with this Intuitive Learning Circle from Gifts from the Rainforest:

Do you feel that you’re entangled with others?

Does it feel like you’re out of balance because of changes in your environment?

Or, are you being affected by poisons or negative energies?

If so, you can go through this exercise for some re-organization and relief.

Mind Body Integration

For best results, go through this Mind Exercise gazing softly at each Circle both crossed over the midline of the body and uncrossed so that the correction is more complete.

Bring your Root Chakra online.

Begin with this Reiki Chakra Key for the 1st or Root Chakra. It’s also known as the “Base Chakra” and for good reason. It holds the foundational structure for your energetic and physical health.
When it’s out of balance, it can hold space for violence, abuse, illness and destructive energies. That’s why it’s so important to keep it cleansed and functioning in right relationship with the Earth.

As you softly gaze at this Key, get connected and balanced. Use this affirmation to help you:
“I connect with and bring my attention to my Base Chakra.”

Clear violent energies, illness and debris from the 1st Chakra.

Use the natural vibration and color of the Root Chakra to clear away toxic energies. If you are a Reiki practitioner, this is an ideal opportunity to beam Reiki into the symbol. These positive affirmations will help:

“My Root Chakra is open and clearing out toxic energies.”

“Destructive energies and karmic entanglements are leaving and going to the Light.”

Please note: In the Intuitive Learning Circle method, we always send what needs to be cleared to the Light, never into the Earth.
She already has too many destructive energies to handle now.
Let’s respectfully help the Earth bring herself back into balance by planting seeds of happiness, health and life instead!

Establish an intention to create healthy, proactive protection in your foundation and Root Chakra.

Use this Intuitive Learning Circle to help you gather up the needed unconscious information.

“I ask for assistance from my Soul to create a healthy structure for protection and connection with Mother Earth.”

Integrate protection and communication from the New Paradigm.

Adapt to the new energies by using this Soul Prayer Chart for Divine Protection to help you close down harmful energy channels from the past.

“I close down all harmful energy channels from the past or from _________.”

Once they’re closed, you’ll find that your chakra centers are more open and receptive to the generative life force (chi) that is available in the New Paradigm. You can “install” this symbol like an adaptive filter for the lighter, quicker energy of Air.

Then, visualize opening up to generative energy channels that connect with your Soul and help you to communicate clearly.

“I connect with the generative flow of chi’ to successfully manifest and communicate.”

Bring your Balance Chakra into the mix.

This Chakra is located right on the on the tip of the tailbone and regulates balance within the Tao (the Underlying Principles of Nature) and the dynamics of Yin and Yang energies.
It has a lot to do with keeping us stable, especially when dealing with difficult or threatening situations.
Let the Balance Key help you stabilize and make a strong connection with your First Chakra.

“I am balanced and can stabilize even in the midst of conflict.”

Install the adaptive filter for Divine Protection.

Release attachments and the damage they cause.

Because of the sheer amount of tragic and heart breaking events we’re encountering everyday, we need to address the possibility that our energy is probably damaged and/or struggling with attachments.
Use this Soul Star Detachment Key to relax and meditate on for as long as you like. Like a healing balm, imagine that a loving coat of peace and comfort is pouring down over you.

“My energy system is easily and effectively neutralizing interfering energies and detaching from them.”

Correct reversals and blockages.

When our system are under extreme stress, the chakras and/or meridians can start running in reverse or shut down entirely.
Relax and let this symbol help you make corrections to problems including allergic reactions, reversals and misdirections.

“I repair any glitches, holes or blockages in my energy system.”

Take all the time you need to let the energy smooth out to where you can begin to feel the energy of your Soul coming through.

Make sure your Soul is in charge of this balance and your healing.

Confirm that you’re using your own Soul vibration to construct your new foundation based on energetic autonomy and integrity.
Allow the energy of your Soul to come in and fill your consciousness with its life giving vibration. While gazing at this Soul Prayer Chart, think about physical activities that you genuinely enjoy doing. Then ask yourself:

“What color, feeling or vibration comes to mind?”

This is your Soul Color. Let it fill your body, your mind and into your aura.

Clarify your Soul signature.

Just like when we sign our names, each of us has an energy signature that identifies us and whatever we have created. If that signature is marred, obscured or out of balance, we become susceptible to increased projections, confusion, fraud and mistaken identities.

Don’t let that happen to you. Clear and balance your energy signature to deflect these issues with this chart. Visualize erasing any false markings or “graffiti” out of your energy field.

“I clear away any energy signatures that are not mine.”

“I know who I am. My signature is distinct from the signature of others.”

Connect with the Earth Chakra.

The third energy center to include in this balance is the Earth Chakra, located directly below your feet. This is your natural energetic connection point to Mother Earth.
The old foundation has used the Earth primarily as a commodity to be exploited or as a dumping ground. Repair your personal power by establishing a healthy connection with this Earth Chakra Key:

“I activate and empower a respectful Earth connection.”

Again, strengthen your connection and communication channels through the Divine Protection chart.

Having a Clear Root Chakra Works with Your Agreements to Help You Create Vitality and Healthy Support.

That includes the contracts or agreements around support, stability, strength and vitality. Look deeply into the Circle and consider the people, the places and the organizations that could be affecting you in a negative way. Those relationships may not be over, but surely they are going to change! Free up your energy with this Circle by letting go of those agreements.

“I let go of all Soul Agreements that are complete – over and done with. I allow the necessary changes to take place.”

Release sub-conscious agreements to hold space for dangerous or violent energies. Clear out destructive entanglements that contribute to illness and low energy. See completed debts, vows and resentments burn up like old contracts in a beautiful, violet flame.

You may want to surrender your involvement with a project, a person, an organization or a special place that’s no longer serving your needs. Surrender it by releasing that Soul contract into the fire.

“I have completed my experience with you. It was an important experience and it’s time now to be done with it.”

Release Agreements with the old paradigm or status quo.

When these chakras are unified and communicating with each other, it’s possible to access deep seated cultural and religious agreements that keep our bodies enslaved to the status quo.
Look deeply into the the Circle and release agreements that are harmful to your wellbeing and vitality:

“I detach from destructive foundations and energy patterns.”

If you’re a Reiki Practitioner, beam the Distant Healing Symbol into the Circle to help you unlock the chains clear them out. Visualize them collapsing like old structures crumbling into nothingness.
Continue until the space is cleared.

Connect with a map of creating common ground for the common good.

Now, you’re free to organize your new foundation into this template for the new paradigm based on common ground for the common good.
Meditate on this template for a few moments and when you’re ready, gently lower your new “roots” to connect with the elements of this map.

Connect with the communication channels of Divine Protection to help you stabilize this new foundation.

Integrate your new foundation with your Essence at the Third Chakra.

It’s important that your foundation get integrated with your “home base” template located in your Solar Plexus Chakra.

Relax with your 3rd Chakra at your solar plexus (the area where your ribs go up in the front).
Your Essential Self is most efficiently located there to help you manifest, create happiness and maintain health.
When your Essential Self is clear about where it’s new foundation is and how to communicate with it, you’ll have a much easier time getting grounded and staying that way.

Installing the Divine Protection filter in the solar plexus will help the information and energy channels get integrated for the benefit of your “gut instincts.”

Clear debris out of your Solar Plexus Chakra.

Use the Soul Star for the 3rd Chakra to clear out any old energies or interference from that area.
It may take some time, so go ahead and relax into it using Reiki to assist. Be sure to send them to the Light as well.

“I expel toxic energies and old junk from my Third Chakra and send them to the Light.”

Repair and/or strengthen hara lines for improved communication and healing

The hara lines are like tiny webs of light that connect the chakras throughout your body. Sometimes they’re broken or damaged because of trauma, illness, toxicity or sudden changes in the sympathetic nervous system (fight or flight). This Circle gives extra energy to the hara lines that are involved with this balance.

“I repair and strengthen my hara lines.”
“My chakras are connected with my Soul properly through a golden web of light.”

This Circle also helps us navigate where we are and to organize our consciousness around being present. “I am inside of my body. Everything else is outside.”

Clear away the shadows with Divine Light.

Beam Reiki into this Soul Prayer Chart to radiate Universal Light and Love throughout your energy field.
Stay with it until all heaviness and darkness has completely disappeared into the Light.

Be sure to close out this healing with the Reiki Power Symbol.
“All pathways that lead back to harm or toxic energies are
sealed and healed.”

Detach from any allegiances with violence and confusion.

A necessary part of protection is about making sure that we’re no longer taking in harmful substances or energies that connect us with people or places we don’t want to go anymore.
Allow this Circle to help you drop any harmful ties, cords or entanglements.

“I release all harmful connections, cords and obligations with dangerous or abusive people, organizations or situations.”

Embrace closure and completion.

Be sure to close out this healing with the Reiki Power Symbol.

“All pathways that lead back to harm or toxic energies are sealed and healed.”

“I follow the direction of my Soul’s protection and intended path.”

Close the pathways both crossed and uncrossed over the midline of your body.

Congratulations!

You are learning to manage your energy in a conscious, balanced and nourishing way!

Now would be an excellent time to go for a walk out in Nature or exercise.

Be sure to breathe deeply!

Navigate Contradiction

Intuitive Reading from the I Ching or Book of Change: Navigate Contradiction through MODERATION.

Rheanni Lightwater - Navigate Confusion — Rheanni Lightwater, Reiki Master Teacher & Feng Shui Consultant

In this intuitive reading, Soul Resources offers a variety of SOS formulas and Transformation Games using the Intuitive Learning Circles and the I Ching to help us navigate contradiction and build a better foundation for the world based on Common Ground for the Common Good.

The I Ching

Understanding the Larger Picture ~

Then, the flow of CHANGING switched to the flow of #39 OBSTACLES. As a part of this path that was chosen, we have been challenged by a massive wave of collective karma that needed to be met with optimism and determination. Thank goodness outlandish onslaughts of lies and destructive thinking have been crushed by the realities facing us.

Now, the flow that transitioned into Hexagram #38 CONTRADICTIONS. The I Ching offers some useful guidance:

The CONTRADICTIONS in your environment are an extreme example of how clinging to the way things used to be creates stalemates, no win situations and extreme instability. Social structures are simultaneously falling apart and being built, yet the foundations for new growth and healthier relationships are still cluttered with the wreckage left behind by an old paradigm based on greed and revenge.

The I Ching: Navigate CONTRADICTION.

To navigate the CONTRADICTIONS that are swirling all around us will demand extraordinary will power, determination and a strong vision for what you hope to accomplish. By staying focused on the larger, positive intentions for freedom and moving towards the common good, you can do your part to bypass the proliferation of conflicting attitudes and ideas.

“There is a strong sense of CONTRADICTION at work in the current situation. It may be a matter of opposing viewpoints — persons who are working at cross purposes to one another or an inner duality that brings indecision. You must now gain an understanding of these divergent forces and better accord yourself with the times. Great achievements are out of the question, since they cannot come about without complete co-operation and alignment. Only small endeavors and gradual influences will meet with good fortune.

There now exists an atmosphere for misunderstandings or estrangement between men and women. Their inherent polarity is at its peak as they retreat into their own individual natures. Bridging the gap that is now present is a profound moment for significant union… Use small, gentle influences now to bring about this mutual accord.

This is a time when you may meet with the dualism in your own nature. You may appear indecisive or equivocal to others as you weigh contradicting viewpoints. Never before have you been able to see both sides so clearly. Arbitrary predispositions such as patriotism, clannishness, fixed ideas of principle or class prejudice may become less important in your life as you begin to see things in the larger overview. The struggle between good and evil, life and death, and all such opposites may appear to be simply the natural interaction of the great forces in the universe, as you develop the perspective of the sage. This sense of oneness or wholeness in a world of CONTRADICTION can bring you great depth of character and peace of mind.”

~ Hexagram #38 CONTRADICTION, The I Ching Workbook, R.L. Wing

Chinese Horoscope ~

Meeting Obstacles with The Chinese Zodiac

2024 is the Year of the Yang Wood Dragon in the Chinese Zodiac.

Positive Qualities: Energetic. Confident. Ambitious. Intelligent. Generous.
Challenging Qualities: Unstable. Intolerant. Lack of persistence. Unrealistic.

“What is the most important thing I can focus my energy and effort on during this time in the Year of the Dragon?”

Allow your intuition to come forward and bring guidance from your innermost Self.

Did you know that Vice President Kamala Harris and her running mate, Governor Tim Walz are both DRAGONS – born in 1964. They are both in their Sexegenary Cycle (60 years), which in Chinese Astrology is an important age of completion and coming together of life experiences. What are their combined energies likely to inspire?

**Invite the Dragon and his dynamic energy to advise you as you navigate the CONTRADICTIONS that show up on your new path.**

A) Any new path can have distractions and dangers that you just cannot see clearly. However Dragon warns, “This is too important a time to get stuck or fall into a hole. Get back in the saddle and stay on your Soul’s journey. If you need extra help, call on my energy and confidence. I have plenty to spare.”

Clear Up Your Blind Spots.

B) Transforming change has given us the opportunity to be motivated by Joy and Freedom, rather than fear and dread. That’s a wonderful thing. However, it’s far too easy for old habits and conditioning to sneak back in and mess things up. Dragon wants to share some important insights about how to prevent Joy from getting hijacked by your own mind! Keep Going For Joy – Rather than Perfection.

C) The current high energy might encourage you to rush or take chances that aren’t in your best interests. Prevent distracting CONTRADICTIONS by staying safe and out of troubles way by using your extra-intuitive senses. Develop Precognition and Stay Out of Trouble.

D) Finally, there may be others who are threatened by your new sense of confidence. If someone is undermining you or trying to throw you off your game, get them out of your space immediately: Ground in the Truth and Your Power.

What Is the I Ching Remedy for Navigating CONTRADICTION?

The Flow of Hexagram #15 MODERATION is the most advantageous flow to follow when navigating CONTRADICTION.

The ancient Chinese text recommends following MODERATION to help you disengage from confusing extremes or opinionated attitudes and instead, follow the guidance that comes from within. That flow might be difficult to find and take some practice to maintain, however, it’s always available.

Kuan Yin has been helping us to follow the middle road and find MODERATION over the last few years with this Transformation Game.

She says, “In almost any situation, if you are able to communicate without resorting to extremes, you will find improvement in whatever you undertake.”

Soul Resources To Navigate Contradiction:

Gaze softly at the SOS symbol and ask for a number between 1 – 9.

Scroll down to that number in the list of games and exercises below and check out what that process has to offer you.

Transformation Games and Mind Exercises ~

1. Make Sure You’re Changing with the Changes.

It’s not easy to make as many changes as we have over the past few years. However, truly big changes are upon us now! Knowing when and how to shed your skin and change with the changes rather than fighting against them, will make a huge difference in how the next stage of your life will go.

Shed that old skin using the Snake Guide.

2. Stop Taking Irritating Situations Personally.

How well are you keeping up with change and are you letting it work for you, rather than against you? There very well could be something you need to change about how you’re dealing with your situation. Play this Transformation Game to help you look at the overall situation and gain a deeper understanding of what’s really needed.

Acquire the courage to change with the Jaguar Guide.

3. Learn to Gracefully Let Go So You Can Move On.

You could be experiencing a situation where there is a great deal of arguments, incompetence or downright refusals to participate in cooperative ventures.

Soul Healing for Anxiety

A New Perspective on Soul Healing from an Old Friend.

Rheanni Lightwater Reiki Master Teacher Medical Intuitive

Kuan Yin is a Time Honored and respected spiritual guide in the Healing Arts. She has been helping us to transition from the old paradigm based on greed and fear to a new paradigm of equitable co-operation and balanced prosperity for the Common Good. Her guidance about Soul Healing comes from the SOS series of self-care formulas and mind exercises in RESOLVE For Staying True and Following Through in Difficult Times.

Soul Healing for Anxiety

Use Soul Healing when you’re feeling anxious and uncertain because you:

Soul Healing for Clarity and Wholeness — SOS – RESOLVE

Feel blocked about an important decision
Want to expand your awareness
Have doubts about how to proceed
Are confused in a chaotic situation
Are experiencing a creative block
Feel you’re being pulled in contradictory directions
Desire clearer guidance from your Soul.

When a person is feeling uncertain about the best thing to do, it can significantly raise the level of anxiety they’re experiencing. Getting relief can sometimes be as simple as being open to a different perception about what’s going on. When one consciously calls upon their inner wisdom and aligns their instincts with intuition, amazing insights can emerge.

If you’re getting nervous about a delicate situation or feel that you may not be seeing it correctly, explore how you can reorient yourself and open up to new ideas with Soul Healing.

Set aside about fifteen to twenty minutes. Go through each step by reading its directions and then gazing at the Circle 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.

Your emotional state might change as well. That also means the Circles are working. Just keep breathing and let the energy move. Once it calms down you’ll be ready to continue to the next Circle.

Mind Body Integration

For best results, look at each symbol both crossed over the midline of the body and uncrossed so that the correction is more complete.

Feel free to move at any time in any way to help you embody your experience!

After you’ve gone through the exercise, consider taking a brisk walk or exercising to help you discharge excess energy.

When you’re ready, see if you can take action on some of the ideas that come to mind.

Soul Healing for Clarity and Wholeness

1. Let’s start by setting an intention to protect yourself in this situation. Take a few moments with Jaguar Medicine to imagine yourself safely surrounded by a sphere of strength and courage.

You are protected and able to take care of yourself.

2. Old Sol will help you to connect with your inner wisdom and Soul guidance. Let it help you get to the Source of what’s happening and how you might increase your awareness.
Relax and breathe deeply.

What is the core of your issue?

What other information do you get?
If your mind has gone blank and you don’t get any ideas, go directly to the next Circle.

3. You may feel a lot of conflict over this issue or you might even have experienced a shock that blocks your ability to perceive things clearly. Take several deep breaths and relax while you gaze softly at Condor Medicine to release shock and inner conflict.

“I relax and allow any tense thoughts to melt away.”

Once you have a sense that your mind has found the blockage, imagine the lines are relaxing, like cooked spaghetti noodles.

Keep relaxing with other blockages or conflicts and do the same with them.

4. Bring your senses into balance by gazing softly at this Reiki Chakra Key that accesses your Rational Senses.

Imagine you can adjust the volume for seeing, hearing, feeling, tasting and smelling the things that are in your immediate surroundings.

“I bring my senses into balance.”

“I focus them so I can feel calmer and aware of what’s important.”
“I use my senses to help me be more aware of where I am and what I’m doing.”
“I focus on actions that are genuinely helpful and productive.”

5. There may be some especially sticky energies that don’t seem to want to let go. Let this Soul Star Detachment Key help you neutralize interfering energies and detach from them.

Like a healing balm, imagine that a loving coat of peace and comfort is pouring down over you.

“I easily and effectively detach from harmful, sticky energies.”

6. You might also be having a difficult time adjusting to all the significant environmental changes that are taking place. Sudden changes can cause the subtle energy fields to react in unusual ways.

As you look at this Soul Star Correction Key, do you notice any rough glitches or reversed energies going on?

Relax with it for a few minutes until things smooth out and you can begin to sense the energy of your Soul coming through.

Repair any jagged or disjointed glitches in your sensory system.

7. Elevated emotions are often caused by distressing experiences that knock the senses out of balance.

When you’re relaxed, your senses can balance out and create a more harmonious state of mind. This softer, lighter way of being has a way of untangling problems and blockages.

Use this simple affirmation with River Medicine to help you slow down in a way that helps you to reduce feelings of anxiety and overwhelm.

“My mind is calm and relaxed – like a boat floating on the water.”

9. Take a few moments to clarify your intention through the Fifth Chakra, also known as your Third Eye. Focus inwardly on what’s most important for you. Remember to keep breathing!

If you direct the energy in towards the center open space of the Key, you can bring your true intentions more fully into the center of your conscious awareness.

10. Clear perception using Soul guidance is an internal communication. Focus in on your heart center and wait for the energy get connected and balanced.

Again, it initially helps to direct your attention in towards the center open space of the Chakra Key.

Once you’ve found the connection, breathe and relax. Allow the energy to shift and open. Eventually you’ll be able to sense positive energy radiating out.
It may take a minute or two to connect with your inner Light.

Take a few minutes to help the energy clear even more with this Soul Star for the Heart Chakra. Breathe and relax until you sense positive energy radiating out.

11. Make sure you’re centered and balanced in your solar plexus as well (your solar plexus is that soft area in the front where your ribs go up).

When the Third Chakra gets clogged up, your sense of Self can suffer. Clearing it out boosts self-confidence and cheerfulness.

“My Solar Plexus Chakra is open and balanced.”

The correction is made when you can palpably feel more present and calm in that area.

There could be a lot of old, even non-existent connections there that need to be expelled to facilitate soul healing.

If the energy around your solar plexus feels stuck or heavy, use this chart to help you gently clear them out.

“I release and clear out toxins and entanglements that are interfering with my clarity.”

12. Whenever working with chakras, you may need to repair and/or strengthen their hara lines for improved communication and healing. Let Starlight Medicine help you visualize all these chakras connecting through a golden web of light, together with the vibration of your Soul.

Iather my consciousness and refocus on the truth that lives in my center.

Your energy is now reconnected and aligned with the Source of your being which, in this method, is called the Central Plexus.

13. Continue with this symbol to close unhealthy energy channels between you and all the chaos that’s been confusing you.

Stay with it until you feel even more centered and protected with beneficial energy flowing through you.

Once you’ve got that, you’re ready to access life affirming channels of communication.
Visualize all the communications lines coming together into the center of this symbol.

14. Now you can reunite with your natural instincts, gifts, talents and connection with the natural world.
If you’re open to it, include your power animal, animal totems, plant helpers and nature spirits. Ask Dragonfly Medicine to help you see your situation from your Soul’s perspective.

Knowing how to access, trust and utilize your natural instincts, gifts and self healing abilities is a large part of what needs to happen when navigating confusing situations.

15. Sometimes, things that could be joyful become twisted and out of whack because we over-complicate them. If that’s been happening in this situation, see if you can use Hummingbird Medicine to visualize any twisted or perverse ideas gently unfolding and unwinding.

Once the strings have relaxed and unwound, ask your Soul to help you find genuinely joyful ideas about yourself and others.

What actions would be truly joyful and of service?

Make a note of what comes to you for future inspiration.

16. Finish with Snake Medicine by allowing it to help you shed old ideas, integrate your new perspective and transform how you’re utilizing your core energy.

You’re ready to ask yourself with greater awareness:

“What is the truth about me and my situation? What do I need to do?”

The answers you get now will help you free yourself of the indecision and confusion that’s been at the core of your anxiety. Your personal power is strengthened and reinforced so you can move forward with greater confidence.

Congratulations!

Allow yourself to rest and relax or continue with Moderation and your Health.

Go through this exercise as often as you need to – especially at the beginning. That way you’ll set a template for Soul Healing for Clarity and Wholeness make a habit of being centered and balanced in the New Paradigm.
