Soul Healing for Anxiety
A New Perspective on Soul Healing from an Old Soul.
The Hermit #IX is an important Guide for Soul Healing in 2025 ~
The Hermit is the Major Arcana Card #IX. The number 9 is about completion – the completion of a cycle or many cycles. The neutral color of his robes suggests the ability to neutralize the opposites or extremes of black and white, right and wrong, male and female.
For this exercise, The Hermit is helping us to shine a light on our anxieties and how our connection with our Souls can bring PROGRESS and healing.
His guidance for Soul Healing when you’re feeling anxious is part of the SOS series of self-care formulas and mind exercises in RESOLVE -Staying True and Following Through in Difficult Times.
Soul Healing for Anxiety
Use Soul Healing when you’re feeling anxious and uncertain because you:
- Feel anxious 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 conflicting 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 twenty to thirty 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 release tension and 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 tension or blockages to melt away.”
Once you have a sense that your mind has found a blockage, imagine that the lines going in towards the center 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 clear the pipes for seeing, hearing, feeling, tasting and smelling the things that are in your immediate surroundings.
“I connect with my senses and bring them into balance.”
“I clear them so I can feel calmer and aware of what’s important.”
“I use my senses to be more aware of where I am and what I’m doing.”
“I turn my attention to 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.”
Feel free to return to this chart at any point during this exercise.
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 stress.
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.”
8. The familiar vibration of your Soul is definitely a big help to evaluating things clearly. Stay relaxed and let your mind drift to a time when you were very happy or had successfully accomplished an important physical goal.
What color or felt sense relaxes you and feels good?
If you can make the feeling or color stronger and it feels comfortable, you’ve found your Soul’s unique vibration.
Operating out of your own vibration has the power to transform chaos and confusion into opportunities to create health, harmony and happiness.
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.
You might be surprised at how distracted you’ve been.
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 your Soul energy expanding and 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 Soul Star Key to help you gently clear them out.
“I release and clear out toxins 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 your chakras connecting through a golden web of light, powered by the vibration of your Soul.
I gather my consciousness and refocus on the truth that lives in my center.
Your energy is now reconnected and aligned with the central, spiritual source of your being which, in this method, is called the Central Plexus.
13. Continue with this symbol for Divine Protection to close unhealthy or destructive energy channels between you and all the chaos that’s been making you anxious.
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 lines coming together into the center wheel of this symbol.
Do that both crossed and uncrossed until it feels complete.
14. Now you can reunite with your essential instincts, gifts, talents, connections and relationship with the natural world.
If you’re open to it, include your power animal, animal guides, plant helpers and nature spirits.
Ask Dragonfly Medicine to help you see your situation truthfully, from your Soul’s perspective.
Knowing how to access, trust and utilize your natural instincts and self healing abilities is a large part of what needs to happen when navigating confusing situations.
“I organize my Essential Nature in accordance with my highest good.”
“I feel calm, settled and grounded.”
15. Sometimes, things that could be joyful become twisted and out of whack because we’ve over-complicated 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.
“I unwind the ideas I hold in my mind.”
Once the strings have relaxed and unwound, pull back and ask your Soul to help you find a simple and joyful response that would be of genuine service to you. Would it be helpful to others as well?
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!
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 Anxiety and make a habit of being centered and balanced in the New Paradigm.

Herd Mentality and Chakra Healing
Transformation Game: Freedom from Herd Mentality
Emotional Entanglements are the Basis of Collective Attitudes or Herd Mentality
Group think or herd mentality is basically a situation where a lot of people are attached to each other through conflict-based emotions, beliefs, agendas and attitudes that cause suffering. There’s a lot of that going around – everywhere! But what if you don’t want to share in that way anymore? What if you prefer to connect with others through Love, Acceptance or Compassion?
Let’s work with this through your own example. Your awareness can be used to enhance your mind/body healing.
Notice the negative herd mentality that has your attention now.
Tap into your heart and bring to mind a significant issue that’s emotionally painful. It could be about you or someone else. Notice how that situation tugs at your heart.
Herd Mentality is a group frequency.
In this moment, there’s probably some form of group communication that’s contributing to the irritation, conflict or even sadness within you. It could be an attitude, an agenda or a distressing belief.
Think of this herd mentality like a radio channel that you’re subconsciously tuning into. There could be one or there could be many.
For the moment, don’t try to fight it or get away from it.
Don’t beat yourself up about it. Just gently observe the quality of it.
The first step towards Peace is acceptance of what is.
The Third Eye can easily tap into herd mentalities.
Is your Third Eye tapping into the disturbing frequencies you’re feeling or something else?
Can you tell what’s stressing you out about this situation?
It can help to “name” the entanglement or herd mentality.
Slow down and see the situation more clearly. Use this Circle to help you slow everything down, just like the slo-mo camera effect in a televised sports event.
What name would you give this mentality?
What do you make up that it wants? What emotion is fueling this mentality?
What does it bring up in you? What do you make of the situation?
Are there any agreements or obligations that chain you to this mentality?
If so, imagine that you can gently unlock them, starting at the bottom of your spine and moving all the way up to the back of your head.
In most situations, the best thing you can do is to gently detach your energy from the herd mentality.
In the old paradigm, many healing modalities “cut the cords.” However, in the New Paradigm, this is another expression of forcing or “making it happen.” A sharp, cutting action like that doesn’t resolve the underlying suffering. It merely offers relief by cutting off the pain or conflict temporarily, only for it to return again another day.
I like to use a softer approach, taught to me by through Reiki guidance. Use this Soul Star Detachment Chart to relax and mend any wounds within yourself and your own energy field that are associated with this entanglement. Like a healing balm, imagine that a loving coat of peace and comfort is pouring down over you – especially your heart center.
“I neutralize and detach from any entanglements that are harmful to me.”
Attachments and conflicts are melting away. The poison is being drawn out and released to the Light.
Relax. Breathe. Take your time and move around if you need to.
Next, clear up the intention behind the mental and/or spiritual entanglement.
You will want to address any confusion the herd mentality is causing you. Imagine you can softly gaze into the center of this Circle, Mapacho Medicine, and see ancient intentions like eggs or seeds.
Not only do you see your own intentions and prayers, but also the intentions held by the group entanglement. You can even sense the cultural, ancestral goals that are perpetuating the confusion and devision in your heart.
Visualize them like ingredients in a soup that’s interfering with your life. Scoop out any life destructive intentions and send them to the Light. You don’t have to let them run you anymore!
“I remove or reform any out of date intentions that are harmful to me.”
“I release harmful intentions from others.”
“I intend that all destructive energies and intentions be sent to the Light and purified.”
Become aware of harmful projections and deal with them.
There may be multiple projections or delusions coming from multiple groups. One way to deal with them is by using this Circle to visualize them all “popping” like bubbles until you’ve cleared your mind scape of them.
Now you can close down the energy channels that the herd mentality has been using to get to you.
Use these positive affirmations to help you:
“Harmful energy channels from the past are closing down. I have protection.”
Once they feel closed, imagine you can connect into the center of this symbol to improve your communication with life, Love and happiness!
“I access life affirming energy and connect with truthful channels of communication.”
Put your new awareness together to make the proper connections with this Circle.
Starlight intuitively fills our hearts with hope and inspiration. We are not alone and miracles are possible.
“I create a new, life affirming intention from my Soul and follow that instead. My new intention is to _______________”
Now, dissolve the underlying destructive blueprints of conflict and herd mentality.
These conflicts could be ancestral, societal, racial or sexual biases. They could involve grudges, curses, vows for revenge, etc. After all, resentment and confusion can be internalized and externalized in a thousand ways!
You can dissolve them all now and send any heaviness to the Light.*
*It’s time to stop sending negative energy and emotions to other people or down into the ground. Mother Earth doesn’t want to hold those seeds anymore either! She’s busy making the changes she needs for the next stages of life on this planet.
When we send destructive energy up to the Light, it can be transformed and set right.
In addition, your mind can be more at peace, knowing that you’re no longer projecting harmful energy onto others – which matters! Like a dark cloud, your ability to forgive is lifting the heaviness up and off of you.
To completely release entanglements, collapse the underground tunnels they move through.
We can communicate in other, more helpful ways. Use the symbol below to collapse any energy drains or sewage lines that lead to or from the groupthink conflicts, grudges and curses. You don’t need or want them anymore.
Close the door on suffering and harmful entanglements.
Imagine that your spirit can turn you towards the direction of your highest good and close the door completely on all that group think and herd mentality.
“All harmful pathways are sealed and healed.”
I follow the direction of my Soul’s protection.”
Once you’re clear that you’re heading in the right direction, you have successfully disengaged from the herd mentality.
To follow up, deconstruct harmful habits and close those energy drains.
Make sure you don’t get sucked back into a toxic habit or pattern from the past! Close down any energy drains that may have come open during this process.
“I deconstruct old habits and shut down any drains to my energy.”
“I fill in the leftover void with healthy, life affirming energy.”
Once you have finished that, tune back into your Heart Center.
This Reiki Chakra Key helps you to reconnect so you can access Compassion for yourself and others. Relax and breathe deeply again. With this new awareness, you can connect with your Soul and communicate with the best of who you are.
Imagine new connections gently taking form. Remember not to force it! A true heart connection happens from the inside. No one else can do this for you.
Radiate your heart energy.
Eventually, if you’re patient and open, you can feel a light begin to radiate out, extending a sense of gratitude coming through from your deepest, wisest Self.
“My Heart is at peace and the interference is released.”
Congratulations! Now that you’ve taken the time to stop, listen and connect with your heart, you can feel the truth:
Forcing things doesn’t work in the long run. “Making it happen” through herd mentality or trying to avoid the truth causes more pain and pulls the joy and respect out of our relationships, especially the ones we have with ourselves. The need to make things be the way we want them to be is actually the source of our suffering and attachments. These attachments hold us back, boomerang around and give us a big kick in the behind!
Our problems cannot be solved from the same mental position they were created from. A transformation of consciousness is required to get from where we are to where we want to be. Obviously, no one can do that for us. We can get good help, but ultimately, we have to make the shift ourselves.
This is an excellent time to get up and go for a walk, preferably out in nature if you can.

Recalibrate Your Respiration
Respiration – Breathing and Heart Health
is a Mind/Body Healing Protocol developed by Rheanni Lightwater to help you recalibrate your energy field to improve your breathing, your heart health and to build increased resilience into your immune system against harmful pathogens.
The Respiration Advanced Energy Medicine Protocol addresses the various inter-related aspects of our energy systems that work together to create a “resonate field” between the heart and lungs. It includes essential information I’ve been able to gather as a Medical Intuitive over the last two decades about how our subtle energy fields influence a healthy, vibrant immune response.
The human energy field has been going through significant transformatio
n for some time. In my work, I’ve followed this evolution and assisted many people in restructuring their subtle energy fields for greater health and efficiency. The Intuitive Learning Circles and symbols have been carefully developed to facilitate these changes in alignment with Psyche, Soul and the Soul’s individual purpose.
Mind Body Integration trains your unconscious mind to recognize imbalances and harmful energies so it can activate and develop new patterns for protection, self-correction and re-generation.
Because the primary function of the unconscious mind is to preserve and protect the body, it runs all of our body functions. It’s also in charge of how information is communicated throughout the entire system.
In my work, I have found that when the unconscious mind recognizes the need to adapt and can effectively communicate that need, the subtle energy systems can shift and are “upgraded” to include the new information, which naturally upgrades the efficiency of all physical systems.
In this particular protocol, we seek to activate the unconscious mind and alert it to the presence of possible viruses, harmful toxins, polarities and imbalances in Respiration and the Circulatory Systems.
This evolutionary process is an important aspect of SOS – Shelter from the Storm, which has been conceived and intended to help us meet the challenges of our global climate crisis and enhance our response to the increase of super viruses, environmental hazards and other unknown health challenges.
Respiration – Breathing and Heart Health is laid out to help you recalibrate your energy field to improve your breathing, your heart health and to build increased resilience into your immune system.
“Is your heart and circulatory system in need of a recalibration?”

Homeostasis – A Healthy Response to Stress
Calming the Nervous System Through Homeostasis
is a Mind/Body Healing Protocol developed by Rheanni Lightwater that helps you recalibrate your energy field so you can regain balance and equilibrium more easily after a stressful experience.
In addition, you will be able to nourish and strengthen your nervous system and build increased resilience into your immune system against harmful pathogens.
This Advanced Energy Medicine Protocol addresses the various inter-related aspects of our energy systems that work together to create a “resonate field” that will effectively activate the parasympathetic nervous system response. This recalibration includes essential information I’ve been able to gather as a Medical Intuitive over the last two decades about how our subtle energy fields influence a healthy, vibrant immune response.
The human energy field has been going through significant transformation for some time. In my work, I’ve followed this evolution and assisted many people in restructuring their subtle energy fields for greater health and efficiency.

In this particular protocol, we seek to activate the unconscious mind and alert it to the presence of possible viruses, harmful toxins, polarities and imbalances that might be preventing homeostasis. Chakra and Meridian integrations are then facilitated to gently:
- Improve Communication – the proper transfer of messages between the brain and nervous system.
- Process and Regulate Emotional Information
- Expel Stress from the Nervous System – gentle release of fear and trauma
- Reduce Fight or Flight Stress Response
- Improve Overall Endocrine and Immune Health
- Release toxins and manage stress and trauma more effectively
This evolutionary process is an important aspect of SOS – Shelter from the Storm, which has been conceived and intended to help us meet the challenges of our global climate crisis and enhance our response to the increase of super viruses, environmental hazards and other unknown health challenges.
Homeostasis is laid out to help you recalibrate your energy field to nourish and strengthen your nervous system and to build increased resilience into your immune system.
In your body, are all elements needed for homeostasis in place, connected and communicating?

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, kinesiology, 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 both 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.
