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

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.

Understanding the Larger Picture ~

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.

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.

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.

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:

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.”

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. Sometimes an environment gets so toxic that it starts to affect your mental or physical health. This game offers some good advice from the I Ching that will help you move on safely.

Exercise your freedom with the Condor Guide.

4. UseYour Intuitive Guidance to Make Decisions that Actually Benefit You.

These are times when there’s just too much group think and outside interference to make a clear decision. Very often, there’s some form of media communication that’s contributing to the noise. Use this Mind Exercise to disentangle from false agendas and destructive attitudes so you can follow your heart back to the truth.

Reclaim personal authority with the Llama Guide.

5. Keep Your Mind and Memory Sharp.

In times of extreme or prolonged stress, remember your mental health! Your memory might start to falter because so many things are changing.

This SOS exercise will help you regain balance so that you can keep your own mind and emotions from getting pulled in the chaos.

With so much going on, staying on top of what you need to do is much easier when you follow direction from your gut instincts. This exercise works incredibly well to help you tune into your inner guidance system – warning you to slow down and get your feet back under you.

4. Stop Disaster Thinking.

Make the decision to consciously pull your attention and energy away from all those problems and redirect them to genuinely helpful solutions that connect you with your Soul.

Being Clear and Direct Will Help Us Navigate CONTRADICTION ~

“Because of a general atmosphere of CONTRADICTION and opposition you may fail to recognize someone who can sincerely help you. This person may reveal himself in spite of the mistrust that clouds your perspective. Working together on current plans will now bring good fortune.” ~ Fifth Changing Line, CONTRADICTION, The I Ching Workbook by R. L. Wing

SOS Self-care Formulas and Mind Exercises can help you stay in balance and hone your true guidance in chaotic times:

9. Advanced Chakra Healing.

The sheer amount of blocked or stuck energies indicates that we need to find innovative methods for handling radical energy reversals and be conscious about it.

Clear Your Crown Chakra

When In Search of the Truth: Clear Your Crown Chakra ~

It can be hard to keep your mind clear when lies are everywhere. The sheer amount of them can make your head spin and have you doubt your sanity! Luckily, there are ways to detach from the crazy-making and get centered again. This Mind Exercise has been put together to be one of those ways. Simply go through this step by step process and you will be guided to clear your Crown Chakra and strengthen your Soul connection.

Directions: Find a quiet place if possible, where you won’t be disturbed for 20 – 30 minutes. Begin by reading the information and then gazing gently at each 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 and that your mind and body are coming into balance.

Some emotions might come up as well. That also means the Circles are working. If you’re being hard on yourself or afraid you aren’t “doing it right,” give yourself permission to continue relaxing. You could very well be releasing confusion that’s caused you quite a bit of suffering for some time now. Resolve to patiently keep breathing and let it go.

A Series of Divine Connections

The Seventh or Crown Chakra is an energy center that, among many other things, helps us to process self actualization needs like realizing personal potential, self-fulfillment and seeking personal growth or peak experiences. When the Crown Chakra is blocked, it’s easy to get confused and misled by false information.

Use this Reiki Chakra Key to tap into your Crown Chakra at the top of your head. Relax for a minute or two. Does it feel balanced and open? If not, how would you describe it? Clogged? Blocked? Shut down? Disconnected?

Clear Your Crown Chakra — Crown Chakra Key

If you are a Reiki Practitioner, this is a good time to beam Reiki into the Circle.

If you’re not a Reiki Practitioner, simply make the commitment to use natural healing energies that work with Mother Nature, rather than against her or trying to dominate her!

Clearing your Crown Chakra naturally when it’s blocked is one of the most important energetic interventions you can employ to maintain a free and open mind.

Why do I say that?

Because, when the Seventh Chakra is blocked by false imprints and entanglements, a domino effect is created that impairs the Sixth Chakra, also known as “The Third Eye.”

The Third Eye is located in the center of the forehead between the eyebrows and governs our need for spiritual insight and understanding, among many other things. When it’s open and clear, a person can properly “see” and utilize their own intuition and common sense.

If those important mental functions get thrown off, the person becomes more susceptible to delusions and fantasy thinking that emanate from groupthink and herd mentality.

They begin to doubt themselves, become cynical and rely on the opinions of others. This loss of personal power creates a stage that’s set perfectly for conspiracies and cults to come in and take over.

Take a moment and use this Reiki Chakra Key to tap into your Third Eye. How does it feel? Clogged? Cluttered? Chaotic? Confusing?

If you’re experiencing any blockages, it may help to meditate on this sequence that helps connect a person’s Crown Chakra to their Soul Chakra:

The goal is to connect your Crown Chakra to your Soul Chakra located directly above it.

Soul Chakra – Located Just Above Your Head

It may help to scroll back and forth through the sequence several times to establish a strong connection…

**Being able clear your Crown Chakra and maintain it requires clear agreements from you to connect directly with your own Soul and Divine Connection – rather than going through someone else’s.**

An example of this would be in religious organizations. Many spiritual institutions or philosophies from the old paradigm have taught that we have to go through the priest, guru or spiritual leader to find a connection to the Divine. This is no longer true in the New Paradigm. We each have our own connection. We just need to know how to make that connection and keep it.

You may say, “I don’t need to connect with my Divinity through another person or group!” And yet, human beings have been trained for millennia to do exactly that. The conditioning to hand over our personal authority is deeply ingrained and maintained on an unconscious level. Even when we rebel against it, we’re still reacting out of that conditioning. We can’t just snap our fingers and dismiss all that cultural training.

Ask yourself, are you experiencing a direct and clear connection to your spiritual guidance?

A New Way to Relate To Ourselves and Others ~

Think about the contracts or agreements you hold around authority and self-determination: the people, the places and the organizations that have been important to you throughout your life. They could be affecting you in a negative way now.

Is there anyone trying to control me? Am I unknowingly interfering with someone else?

Those agreements may not be over, but they have certainly changed! For example, you could still want to care about a significant person or group, but that doesn’t mean that you want to let them control you or interfere with your thoughts.

Then there are those people who you don’t want to care about, and yet they are always trying to get into your head…

Mind control… brainwashing… herd mentality… it’s enough to drive you crazy! But it doesn’t have to…

Give yourself permission to have healthy boundaries.

Free up your energy with the Circle below by letting go of old, out-dated agreements about control, authority and self-determination.

Release sub-conscious agreements to put up with control and manipulation. See completed debts, vows and resentments burn up like old contracts in a beautiful, violet flame.

“I let go of all Soul Agreements that are harmful or interfere with healthy boundaries or clear spiritual guidance.
I don’t need to go through others to connect with my Divinity.
I let go of interference with others.
I allow the necessary changes to take place.”

You may want to release harmful connections with a project, a belief system, a person or an organization that’s no longer serving your needs. They may have even become abusive. Rather than wasting your energy on trying to get revenge, release them by surrendering those Soul Contracts into the fire. Affirm your own authority and ability to say “no.”

Take all the time you need to relax deeply with this one:

“I let go of harmful thoughts and belief systems that interfere with direct communication and connection to my heart, mind and Soul.”

In your imagination, you can see those jumbled up connections moving up and out of you, disappearing into the Light.

Free your mind and spirit from the agreement of having to organize around the patriarchal imprint of control, greed, hatred, prejudice and fear.

“I choose to create Common Ground through cooperation, equality and balanced prosperity instead.”

Decide to connect through the energies of Joy and Gratitude, rather than Greed and Revenge.

When your chakras can source from a positive life force, Divine Connection is possible and preferable.

“I decide to connect through Joy and Gratitude, rather than fear and hatred.”

Reclaim Your Personal Power ~

“I am free to choose a direct and divine connection to my Soul.”

Release Attachments ~

Because of the sheer amount of information and interference we encounter everyday, we need to address the possibility that various aspects of our subtle energy field may be damaged or struggling with attachments.

Use this 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 can easily and effectively neutralize interfering energies and detach from them.”

Correct Reversals and Blockages ~

When we’re under extreme stress, it’s not uncommon for the chakras and/or meridians to start running in reverse or shut down entirely. Relax and let this symbol help you make corrections to problems including deformations, reversals and misdirections.

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

Take all the time you need with this.

Connect the Hara Lines ~

Whenever working with chakras, you may need to 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 surround and connect with your Crown Chakra.

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

It also helps us navigate where we are and to organize our consciousness around being present.

“I am present inside of my body. Everyone else is outside.”

Adapt to the Generative Life Energies Available in the New Paradigm ~

It helps to know that you can close down many harmful energies left over from the old paradigm that may be running rampant through your body, mind and space.

“I have protection.”
“I close down all harmful energy channels.”

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 you to function better with the lighter, quicker energy of Air.

“My mind is open and clear to receive generative life force.”

Let Go of Any Remaining Ties That Connect You To Abuse ~

“I let go of those bridges that lead me back to trauma, control or abuse.”

Dissolve Destructive Blueprints That May Have Come Up ~

Take your time and visualize them dissolving like dark clouds into the pure, light of the Sun.

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!

Close the Door on All that Confusion and Embrace Closure ~

Remember to close the door on holes or pathways in your mind or energy field that lead back to suffering or harmful communications.

If those pathways remain open, all kinds of trouble (violent thought forms, karma, issues or emotions) can continue to pass back and forth through the opening without your awareness. This can manifest in sudden and mysterious illnesses, mental confusion, issues with prosperity or chronic states of overwhelm. Take all the time you need. There are probably a lot of them.

“All holes, doors or passageways are sealed and healed.”
“I follow the direction of my Soul’s protection and intended path.”

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

Check Back Into Your Connection to Spiritual Guidance Again ~

How are you experiencing your spiritual guidance now? Is it more direct? Is there anything you would change or improve on it?

Repair and Refocus Your Auras ~

At the end of this kind of process, it’s important to make sure that any holes or tears in your auras are repaired and refocused, especially when there are so many chaotic toxins floating around!

“My auras are sealed, repaired and refocused.”
“The healing protection for my body strengthened.”

Finish By Grounding the Benefits ~

Take a moment and get grounded so that you can actualize this new connection with your Crown Chakra.

Congratulations!

You are learning to manage your self-determination in a conscious, balanced and beneficial way. Now would be an excellent time to go for a walk out in Nature or exercise.

Be sure to move your body and breathe deeply!

Emotional Stress and Memory

Can Emotional Stress Affect Your Memory?

Especially when the stakes are high, you need to remember the important things. However, it’s not unusual for people to have temporary memory problems or tracking glitches when they’re under a lot of emotional stress, especially if they’re highly sensitive. Why is that and what can be done to help?

If this sounds like you, it could be that you’ve become overwhelmed by the uncertainty of life and the future. Or, you might have gotten ungrounded by the sheer amount of information that you feel you have to process.

You might also be going through experiences like the ones below:

Going through a major emotional transition
Having difficulty processing new information
Feeling weak or mentally exhausted
Disoriented due to grief or sudden loss
Picking up on other peoples pain
Noticing an increase in forgetfulness
Getting confused more easily than usual.

If you are, you’re not alone and it’s possible to get some relief by going through Emotional Stress that Affects Memory from our Soul Oriented Solutions series.

Directions: Start by confirming that this is the best formula for you with the SOS Symbol.

SOS - Soul Oriented Solutions for Emotional Stress — SOS Symbol

Next, go through this integrating mind exercise to understand how emotional stress might be causing what’s happening in your case and what you can do to re-orient yourself. Read each step and then gaze softly at its Circle, one at a time.

Give yourself permission to look at the Circles in any way or from any angle that you like. All you have to do is stay relaxed. If you’re drawn to focus on the center of a Circle, great!

If you come up with a message, an image or instinctively want to trace over the lines, let your imagination guide you. A playful approach reduces stress and opens up possibilities so you can look at your situation from different perspectives.

Developing intuition in this way enhances your personal growth and can keep those creative juices flowing for better mind function.

Caution: the use of this exercise is not intended take the place of appropriate medical and/or psychiatric care. If you are having prolonged or increasing bouts of memory loss, seek the appropriate medical help.

Mind Body Integration

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

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

Stress That Affects Memory ~

How Are You Experiencing Disorientation?

1. We’re going to look at several possible reasons why emotional stress might be affecting your memory. One reason could be that you are disoriented due to a sudden recent change. You might also be picking up on other people’s stress. Another possibility could be that your mind has been exposed to an overwhelming amount of information or static energy. It helps to be aware of what is involved.

Let this Circle help you gather up any important information involved. Your unconscious mind knows what’s pertinent and what’s not.

You might want to jot down any impressions you notice. However, don’t be surprised if nothing definite comes to you. There may not be any words because the unconscious mind is not linear.

Just make note of what your experience is for now.

What is a Clear Intention That will Help?

2. To help bring your mind into focus, establish a simple and clear intention for this exercise.

“I improve mental acuity and brain function.”

Go ahead and meditate on the center open space of this chart with that intention in mind. Breathe deeply and relax. Don’t try to make anything happen. A relaxed mind will lead you to a more relaxed body!

When the energy of the chart slows down, you’re ready to move onto the next step.

What Would You Like to Shine Light On?

3. The pineal gland is an important part of your brain because of its main function of regulating light and darkness through the production and secretion of melatonin. In addition, the pineal contains light-sensitive cells that control your equilibrium through the circadian cycle of sleep and wakefulness.
Melatonin also supports healthy memory function and reproductive cycles.

Relax and breathe for a minute or two and let this Chakra Key help you clear toxins from your pineal gland so that your natural rhythms and cycles can come into better balance.

Does It Feel Like Your Energy is Struggling?

4. Emotional stress can cause significant internal and external changes. Sudden reversals, blockages and changes in momentum can cause your energy to react in unusual ways.

You might also have an awareness of rough or reversed energies around you.

Keep this Correction Key handy to help you correct any rough glitches or reversals that you may be experiencing with any of the chakras you’ll be working with in this exercise.
Relax with it for a few minutes until things smooth out and you can begin to feel the calming energy of your Soul coming through.
Be sure to do that both crossed and uncrossed over the midline of your body.

How Would You Like to Feel?

5. The hypothalamus is a part of your brain that regulates homeostasis. Through it, you have the ability to maintain inner balance and a calm state of mind. It also regulates a variety of functions including your physical development, digestive health and metabolism.

What kind of support would you like with those things?

Allow this Chakra Key to help you clear and balance your hypothalamus.

What Would You Like to Remember?

6. The hippocampus is actually two structures located on either side of the temporal lobe that are involved with memory development, verbal, spacial and directional skills.

Repeat what you just did in the previous steps. Relax and breathe while you gaze at this Chakra Key to clear out toxins and bring both areas of your hippocampus into balance.

Once you’ve really relaxed with it, check in with a question:

“Is there something I’ve forgotten that’s important? More than one?”

Make a note of it and continue with your mind exercise.

What Would Bring You More Ease?

7. There’s another part of your brain function that taps into the wisdom of your Soul. Some call it the Third Eye Chakra. Through it, the pineal, hippocampus and hypothalamus can connect and work together to enhance learning and create coherent thoughts. Intuition and common sense can then blossom and communicate meaningful insights to your Heart Center.

Keep relaxed and gaze softly at the Circle with each affirmation:

“My common sense and intuition are working together.”

“I receive meaningful insights about my situation.”
“My mind helps me to reduce stress and integrate joy into my life.”

What Needs to Get Connected?

8. This Circle helps you repair the subtle hara lines that connect your chakras, like a beautiful web of Light. Keep relaxed and gaze softly at the Circle with each affirmation:

“My mind and body are connected and balanced to create improved mental acuity and brain function.”

“I improve my comprehension and understanding.”
“I connect with solutions.”

What Would Support You?

9. It’s possible that you’re dehydrated or not getting the right nutrition. While you gently focus on this Circle, ask yourself:

“Is there something I could eat or drink that would help me?”
“Is there something I’m eating or drinking too much of?”

Is There Something That You Need To Let Go Of?

10. If there is, let this Circle help you open up and let it go.

Just keep letting go and release all that emotional stress. See yourself relaxing under an afternoon Sun. Take all the time you like. It’s okay to let go and rest.

What Would Genuinely Help Your Emotional Stress?

11. Is there something that you could do to help your mental / emotional stress?
Is there something it would be best to stop doing?
Use this Circle to consider actions you could take that would help in this situation. Make sure they would be genuinely helpful to you now.

Is there anything you could do or stop doing that would be genuinely helpful to others?

What Is Your heart Saying?

12. It could be that things are just moving too fast and your mind is trying to keep up. Take a moment to slow down and tune into your Heart Center. Bring it into balance first. Then, ask yourself:

“What is my heart telling me?”
“Am I worried about something (physical, financial, family issue, etc)?”

“What have I been doing? Has that helped?”
“What do I feel?”

How Will Life Be Better Without This Emotional Stress?

13. Your physical body is the foundation for your vitality and your instinct to take care of yourself. Clearing energy, especially in your lower body, will give you strength and support to make necessary changes.

Once you feel stronger, ask yourself:

“What, if anything, am I forgetting about my physical health?
“Is there something I need to remember?”

There’s always more than one way to do things, what new way comes to mind in this case?

What Would Keep You Grounded?

14. A strong connection to the Earth gives you support to make the necessary changes and stay balanced at the same time. Put both feet on the floor to help you ground.
If needed, go back to Step 8 and connect with your other chakras.
Take whatever time you need.

Once you’re centered and grounded, ask yourself:
“What do I need remember?
“Do I need to change anything?”
“Do I have the connections and resources I need to resolve this stress?”
“What would be involved? Is anything missing?”

Ask For Blessings On Your Life Path.

15. Finish by balancing out your Life Path Chakras. They help you stay on your own path and tune into the promptings of your Soul – a very important thing to remember!

“I open up to my potential and stay positive.”

“I stay true to my Soul’s path.”

You may want to sit with this for awhile.
Plan to take a walk or relax for a bit out in Nature once you feel ready.
Releasing emotional stress takes time and space!

Stuck in the Past

How to Change Negative Thoughts In the New Paradigm ~

Are you stuck in the past? At any point during a typical day, you may need to release a negative thought, compulsion or worry that you’ve held onto that no longer serves you.

You can gently let go and adapt to some better behavior by starting with a short quiz using the Intuitive Learning Circles.

Part I: Quiz – What is Going On?

Are You Being Bothered By Worry or Negative Thoughts?

As you gaze at the Circle below, go ahead and deliberately find a problem that you’re stuck on and don’t know how to change.

“I find the negative thoughts about ____________ and free myself of them.”

“My new intention is to aim for balance, health, happiness and ____________.”

Notice how sticky this is and how much energy is involved in the struggle!

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.

What Else Is Going on?

Other things might be happening. Sometimes there’s a karmic entanglement with other people, groups or power structures. Are you involved in a situation where you need to separate yourself out from controlling or harmful manipulations? If so, use this affirmation:

“I make a decision to release and let go of harmful entanglements.”

Is Your Health or Prosperity Being Affected Negatively?

Are you being distracted? Have you placed your hopes in a losing proposition? Are you stubbornly holding onto ideas, structures or systems that are actually blocking you? Are you trying to do too many things? Are you caught up in a web of deceit?

If your answer is “yes” to any of these questions, ask your heart:

“What can be done about it?”

Are There Any Other Dangers That You Ought to be Aware Of?

There are always those who would love to take advantage of our blind spots. You could be stuck because you’re being exploited in some way. Your energy might be getting drained. A person or group could be trying to cling to you, dump their problems or just interfere with your plans. The easiest ways for them to succeed is either by seducing you with flattery or trying to get you angry through insults and intimidation. Don’t buy into these ploys!

“I identify danger and determine how to deal with it effectively.”

Part II: How Can You Help Yourself?

Now that you have a better idea about what’s going on, you can gently let go and adapt to some more effective ways to handle your situation. If you’d like to do that, continue with this simple Mind Exercise using the Intuitive Learning Circles.

When You’re Stuck in the Past, Change Your Agreements.

Imagine you can gently untie those agreements or burn them in a cleansing fire.

“I decide to let go of worry or negative thoughts about _________ (patiently take it one subject at a time).”

“I stop buying into controlling or fearful manipulations.”

“I let go of ___________ and behaviors that threaten to entangle me with ________. I stop buying into flattery, distractions, lies and ___________.”

“My new agreement is to stay centered and true to myself. I am free to say ‘no’ and _____________.”

Getting Unstuck From the Past ~

The old paradigm or Piscean Age that closed out between 2021 and 2022 was governed by the element of Water. The flow of Water goes down and follows the path of least resistance. When it accumulates, it can easily get stuck and stagnate.
The new flow of energy governed by Aquarius is Air. That means the life force available to us is much lighter, quicker and can be easily moved in all directions. It doesn’t require nearly as much effort. In fact, too much force can cause overreactions and serious imbalances.

The way we processed things before the transition does not work well in the new energy that exists now. To help you adjust, release your agreements to process emotions or manifest in the old way:

“I slow down and adapt to the changing energy flows.”
“I adjust to the lighter, quicker, generative flow of Air.”
“I pull back the amount of force and effort I’m using to accomplish my goals.”

“I stop processing emotions through the downward channels of the Piscean Age.”
“I let go of the heaviness and stagnation.”

Connect with a Template of Common Ground for the Common Good, Rather than Maintaining the Status Quo:

Mother Earth is changing and it will help to connect with her natural imprint so that we may more easily change how we’re relating to her and to each other.

“I decide to let go of old imprints of exploitation and integrate with the imprint of creating Common Good on Common Ground.”

“I stop dumping my emotional poison into the Earth.”
“I choose to be responsible and connect with the Earth in positive, productive ways.”
“I work with the Earth to support life and create balanced prosperity.”

Release Your Agreements to Use STAGNANT YIN ENERGY:

Unfortunately, many people are using toxic and stagnant water energy to process how they are feeling. This “stuck” energy relates to current social tendencies such as apathy, resistance, self-pity, co-dependence and laziness.

Are you inadvertently using stagnant water energy? If so, you would be wise to release your agreements to utilize such a stagnant energy flow:

“I let go of old, heavy, stagnant or destructive flows of Water.”

Utilize Pure Water to Process and Clear Emotions.

Instead, make a conscious choice to activate a new relationship with the Element of Water – fresh and purified to gently clear emotions, imbalances and the residual effects of past indifference and abuse.

This affirmation will help you make an actual adjustment in how you relate to and utilize this precious resource:

“I now make a conscious decision to use pure, life affirming Water to process my emotions, support vibrant health and create balanced prosperity.”

Come From A Place of Joy and Gratitude Rather than Fear and Revenge:

Worry generally comes from a negative place. You can source from a different place that connects you in with your Soul.

“I decide to source my responses from a place of Joy and Gratitude rather than fear, greed or vengeance.”

This affirmation will help you make a breakthrough in how you feel and connect with the Divine:

“I exist – the Divine exists. We are not separate.”
“I connect with the Power that is found in my heart and Soul.”

Ask for Help from Your Soul.

Manifesting effectively under this new influence of Air will require many new skills that only a true connection with our Divine Nature will be able to help us with.

“I ask my Soul for help, especially in regards to ___________.”

“I connect with the clear electro-magnetic signature of my Soul.”
“I erase signatures & interferences that block integrity, like old graffiti markings. I release them to the Light.”

Gather Up Your Senses to Function in Alignment with Your Soul.

Be sure you’re using your senses to correctly assess what’s really going on and the changes you’re going to need to adjust to. Begin by relaxing with this Reiki Chakra Key for a minute or so to connect with your senses and Rational Thought Chakras. They are essential to help you accurately determine what spiritual or physical shifts are necessary and what would be effective.

“I gather up all of my senses and use them to get present and perceive my concerns clearly.”

“I use them to shed light on my blind spots.”
“I use them to discern the difference between helpful and harmful energies.”
“I use my senses to find genuinely helpful solutions.”

Part III: Recalibrate Your Energy

Toxic Attachments May Keep You Stuck in the Past ~

Various parts of your energy field may be damaged or struggling with negative energies like smoke, chemicals, illness or other attachments that inhibit your health. Use this 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 can easily and effectively neutralize interfering energies and detach from them.”

Correct Reversals and Blockages ~

When we’re under extreme stress, it’s not uncommon for the chakras and/or meridians to start running in reverse or shut down entirely. Relax and let this symbol help you make corrections.

“I repair any reversals, holes or blockages affecting my energy or mindset.”

Take all the time you need to let your energy smooth out. Be sure to do that both crossed and uncrossed until you can begin to feel the energy of your Soul coming through.

Calm Your Nervous System ~

The same could be happening in your nervous system. Use this Soul Prayer Chart to help you smooth out discordant energies that exacerbate your anxiety and stress. Gently detach from the struggles of survival, pushing, fear and competition. Tune into the rhythm and calm of your parasympathetic nervous system.

“I come into harmony with the rhythm of my Soul.”

To access that place of peace it can be helpful for you to breathe, hum or gently rock yourself back and forth.

Clear Shadow Energies with an Infusion of Divine Light ~

Radiate light throughout your auric bodies with the full power of the Divine and Angelic Realms. Keep your attention on the strength and beauty of the light rather than the darkness.

Paying too much attention to problems only creates more of them.

Allow the Light from the Divine and your Soul to cleanse and heal you completely from within.

“I ask the Divine to remove attachments, negativity and dark energies from my subtle energy field.”

Do this both crossed and uncrossed over the midline of your body.

Finish Your Business ~

You’re almost finished now, yet there’s still some business that keeps you stuck in the past. These thoughts keep bothering you for a reason!
Use Snake Medicine to help you pull back and look at your situation from a distance.
What do you need to realize here?
Is there some kind of extreme idea or belief that you need to shed?
Do you need to pull yourself out of a negative energy or situation?
Do you need to transform a negative tendency of your own?

Do you need to behave differently?
Most importantly, are you leaving yourself open to negative energies?
If so, use this Circle to gently shed them so you can bring your energy back into balance.

Connect the Hara Lines ~

You may need to repair and/or strengthen hara lines for centering and improved healing. The hara lines are like tiny webs of light that connect the chakras to your center and extend 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).
Starlight Medicine gives extra energy to the hara lines that connect your chakras.

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

This Circle also helps us navigate where we are and to organize our consciousness around being present. “I am present and inside of my body. External pressures and harmful energies are outside.”

Turn It Around ~

Now it’s time to make sure you’re tapping into positive energy and the new generative energies that are available in the New Paradigm.

“I decide to tap into positive energies and nurture myself.”

“I am open to being nurtured in new and beneficial ways.”

Utilize Generative Energy Flow ~

“I close old energy channels from the past that are causing harm.”

I now embrace the new generative flow of the Aquarian Age and use it to support my health, my prosperity and my happiness.”

Release Harmful Intentions that Keep You Stuck in the Past ~

Imagine all the things you used to wish for that have either been accomplished or that are no longer something you want. It’s time to let them go.

“I release any wishes or prayers that are irrelevant or harmful to me now.”

“My new intention is to _________ and to nurture my highest good.”

Dissolve Destructive Blueprints ~

Use this symbol to help you surrender any mental/emotional patterns that may be blocking positive thoughts, input and outcomes.

Patiently, bring in the Light and let it clear your energy field. Release your thoughts and worry until the darkness is all gone. The Light is transmuting, transforming and completing this stage of your Souls journey.

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!

In the same way, clear away any violent thought forms that may be affecting you. Surrender them to the Light if possible.

Bring Closure to Old Pathways and Embrace Protection ~

Remember to close the pathways in your mind that lead back to suffering.

“I choose healthy boundaries and to be done with this sticky situation.”

“All holes, doors or passageways are sealed and healed.”

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

Be sure to see them closed completely both crossed and uncrossed over the midline of your body.

Check Back Into Your Mosquito Mind Again ~

Remember the problem you started out this exercise with…

How are you seeing it? Is there another issue involved that keeps you stuck in the past?

If so, you can go through the exercise again later, with that issue in mind.

Finish With Closing Insights from Your Inner Guidance ~

Is there anything else that you need to know? Is there anything to change or prepare for?

Congratulations!

You are learning how to manage your energy effectively in the New Paradigm.

Now would be an excellent time to take a break and do something completely different. Go out for a walk in Nature, stretch or play a word game. After all, variety is the spice of life… plus, a break will help you to integrate what you’ve learned.

Whatever you do though, be sure to breathe deeply!

Emotional Drama

Detaching From Emotional Drama

There are times when you know that you’ve gotten caught up in emotional drama and the best thing for you is to simply let go and “let it be.”

However, “letting it be” in the midst of the kind of emotional drama that’s going around now is not always all that simple!

We’re often advised by well meaning folks to “just take some deep breaths,” “meditate,” “get present by looking at your hands,” “look around at your surroundings” or “go for a walk.” These are all very helpful and certainly not bad advice.

And yet…

What if you’ve tried all that and the tightness, the doubt, the negative thoughts, the nightmares – the intense emotional drama keeps coming back like a magnet and sticking to you like glue?

As you gaze softly at this Reiki Chakra Key for your Third Eye, ask yourself:

“What is actually stressing me out?”

You may feel like you’re powerless, but it doesn’t have to be that way. Take a few deep breaths with your attention on this Circle and its positive affirmation.

Choose to Detach

Sometimes it pays to get really creative with sticky, complicated emotions. This mind exercise is a creative way to use your natural Soul Resources proactively.

Start by gazing softly at the symbol below and just let your mind wander. You can conduct an unconscious search throughout the underlying cogs and mechanisms of your mind. You might even be able to find where the glitch is.

At some point, your attention will settle on an unresolved emotional drama.

Give a name to the emotional drama that’s visiting you right now. Have fun with it. Take whatever name comes to you without judgement.

The name of my emotional drama is “_________________”.

Continue your inquiry:

“What is the false narrative that I’m believing
about myself in this situation?”

Use this Circle of #1 Animal Spirits to help you communicate with your emotional drama:

Hello, “_____________”.

“What are you doing here?” and “How can I help?”

Don’t jump to any conclusions or make concessions. You are merely gathering information.

Ask another question using #14 Otter: “What emotional pattern are you diverting my energy to?”

The pattern is called “________________________________”.

On a scale of 1 -100, what percentage of your energy are you currently sending to the pattern?

If you don’t want your energy to be sidetracked into that emotional pattern anymore, use this Circle, #32 Condor, and call on her creative life force to let go of old habits and behaviors.

Relax and let the lines going in towards the center of this Circle go limp and loose. Or, you could melt the pattern like an iceberg melting under the heat of the Sun.

Do that both crossed and uncrossed over the midline of your body until your connection to the pattern is completely dissolved.

Deal with Projections

Are unrealistic demands, shame or blame part of that emotional pattern? If so, use #18 Parrot Medicine to find those projections and break them apart. After all, they’re only reflected thoughts.

Shatter those thoughts like mirrors in a House Of Mirrors – or echos in a huge Echo Chamber.

You’d be surprised at how many projections there are out there!

Take a deeper look at how often people, organizations, social systems and the media project their expectations on you. No wonder you’re feeling anxious or doubting yourself!

Go ahead and break those projections apart as well. Keep breathing!

Ask the medicine from #9 Lizard to get more information:

“Am I holding onto abusive persons, activities or obligations? Am I ready, willing and able to let them go?

This is where it can help to open and close your hands. Move your body around and shake it off. In your mind, see yourself letting go and sending the abuse to the Light. You’re ready to leave the situation and settle down in a safe place – where you are free from the emotional drama!

Get some extra help from this symbol to neutralize any sticky attachments you’ve been feeling…

“I detach from destructive energies; including those that come from family members, co-workers, organizations, illnesses, and ________________.”

Keep relaxing until you feel clear.

Once you’ve released the stickiness, you want to make sure that this particular pattern doesn’t come back again. Use this image to help you dissolve any destructive mental or emotional patterns from your mindset.

“I relax and let my part in this emotional drama go.”

This is a positive way to use projections. Visualize any dark, threatening or heavy energies lifting up and away from you, disappearing into the Light. Keep doing that until you see yourself standing in a beautiful, open field under a clear blue sky!

Relax and let the systems that support the emotional drama collapse… it’s time to let them go completely.

Resolve to stop the energy drain from your body, mind and spirit. Leave behind harmful habits, distractions and drains:

“I close the door on any drain or strain on my time, space, attention or energy.”

Close the doors in your mind that lead to any harmful pathways that are better for you to stay away from.

“All holes are sealed and healed.”

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

It may be like there are too many tabs open on your internet browser. Close them all down in your mind so that you may have some peace.

Finish by redirecting your energy to your own life; your health, your happiness and peace of mind… 100%!

Congratulations!

You now have a powerful and creative way to deal with projections and emotional drama.

This is a great time to take a deep breath and go for a walk out in nature (always a good idea)!
