Protected: Find Emotional Balance
Healing Emotional Shock
Any person who is going through serious loss could experience emotional shock.
The symptoms of emotional shock are disorientation, numbness, mental confusion or fragmentation. A person may even disconnect and leave their body. This includes people who are witness to traumatic experiences in some way.
These are all ways that the unconscious mind protects us during a traumatic event.
Note: If you are going through a serious physical disruption or environmental crisis, please go to Resolving Shock from Traumatic Events.
This exercise can help if you’re experiencing any of these symptoms:
- Feeling stuck, immobilized, lost or helpless
- Unable to relax tension from a startle response
- Caught in a blank or confused state of mind
- Waking up at night worried, with obsessive thoughts
- Reliving painful experiences
- Alternately feeling trapped and shattered.
The following mind exercise uses the Intuitive Learning Circle method for healing emotional shock ~
Sometimes people who’ve received bad news or experienced a traumatic event will tell you that they’re fine and not to worry about them. They may get confused or shut down and not be able to explain what’s happening to them. That’s because one of the main symptoms of being in shock is not being aware of being in shock. Why is that? During a shock, the mind goes blank as a form of protection.
Any person involved in a traumatic event could experience disorientation, numbness or mental confusion. They might even fragment out of their body and then not remember what they did. These are all ways that the unconscious mind protects us during a traumatic event and that includes people who are witness to traumatic experiences in some way.
Contrary to popular opinion, having a shock response is not a sign of weakness or something to be ashamed of. It is a physiological event. Nevertheless, if the person doesn’t get a chance to get grounded in their body again – or if they’re not able to – serious problems may develop. Blocked energy and a constant state of fight or flight takes its toll over time. Statements like: “I can’t relax,” “I don’t know what to do,” “I feel disconnected” or “I just check out,” describe the experience of emotional shock.
If any of the above seems like it may apply to you, go through this mind exercise step by step to help you access your own innate healing abilities and bring yourself back into balance.
Simply follow the directions and see if you can free up some of the confusion and conflict that comes from shock. Here’s an example of how it works. Simply relax and gaze softly at the Circle while you contemplate each of these positive affirmations:
“I reclaim and balance my five senses.”
“I focus them to be present and aware of my body.”
“I use them to become aware of my environment and what’s important to me right now.”
“I focus on life affirming actions that benefit my well-being and happiness.”
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.
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 relaxing.
Be sure to go through the entire formula and at the end, give yourself time to rest and integrate.
Healing Emotional Shock and Confusion
Step One:
Take several deep breaths and relax while you look at this Circle that releases shock and inner conflict.
Imagine you can use it to focus in on a conflict, a thought or a painful experience that’s blocking your way. If your mind is blank, relax into how “blank” it is. You may get a conscious image or message, or you may not.
Once you have a sense that your mind has found the blockage, sit back and take a couple more deep breaths. Imagine that the lines going into the center are relaxing and going soft, like cooked spaghetti noodles.
Or, you can visualize that the darkness or heaviness is like an iceberg and the Sun is melting it away with a beautiful beam of light. Allow it to melt until it’s completely gone.
Repeat the process with other blockages or conflicts that come up.
Step Two:
The next step is to bring your senses into balance so that you can see, feel and hear things without the distortion that often accompanies shock.
As you breathe deeply, let this Circle help you to adjust the volume and pitch of your senses to just the right level for you.
Soon you will be able to hear that calm, gentle voice inside that reminds you about what matters the most to you:
“I see things as they really are. My senses are balanced. I can perceive clearly what matters the most.”
Step Three:
When a person is ready to pull themself out of a shocking event, their mind needs to have a safe idea of where to go.
This template for Common Ground will help you find a place to re-organize around that is aligned with your Soul, Nature and the Common Good.
If you gently meditate on this image you can begin to connect with a new environment that has room for equality, peaceful co-operation and balanced prosperity.
Step Four:
Relax with this symbol to connect with life affirming energy flow.
“I adapt to the positive flow of chi’ and protection available through the Element of Air to the best of my ability.”
“I close down harmful energy channels from the past.”
“I connect to helpful, life affirming channels of communication.”
Step Five:
Make sure that you’re no longer planted in that old experience, whatever it was. It’s important that you pull your energy completely out of the past so you can get present and grounded again. Your well-being is important.
Let this Chart for the Earth Element help you unearth old agreements or conditioning that’s sucking you back into the past or holding you down.
“I uproot whatever is confusing me. I decide to pull my roots out of old, stagnant, trapped or stuck places.
Once you’ve freed yourself, place both feet on the ground and your hands on each knee while you use these affirmations:
“I decide to get present and ground in Common Ground.”
“I am safe and the Earth supports me.”
Step Six:
If your gut feels tight or uncomfortable, use this Reiki Chakra Key for your solar plexus to help you relax and get back into balance there. Your solar plexus is that soft place in your belly where your ribs go up. Just take some nice breaths and feel it relax as you say to yourself:
“It’s safe. I feel safe and more relaxed with every breath.”
“I can reconnect with my resources again.”
Take your time and move around if you need to. Stay with it until you feel centered again
Step Seven:
Take some more time and let your heart recover. This Key will help you to reconnect and balance your Heart Center so you can clear away any residual heaviness. Breathe deeply and be gentle.
“I take the time to reconnect with my heart.”
“I release any heaviness to the Light where it can be transformed.”
“I choose to reconnect with life and _________.”
Eventually, your Heart Center will be able to radiate out like a star.
“I integrate my true Self with a compassionate and radiant heart.”
Step Eight:
Sometimes a person who’s coming out of emotional shock will be disoriented and feel a bit “out of their body.” In case that’s happening with you, take a few minutes to consciously bring yourself back into your body.
“I am at home in my center. I am inside my body.”
You can open and close your hands. Move your fingers and wiggle your toes around. Move in whatever way helps you feel good and more present in your body. Notice the time and where you are. These actions all help you recover from emotional shock.
Step Nine:
Get back in touch with the familiar vibration of your Soul. To do that, relax with this Circle. Remember 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 increase the color to be stronger and more vibrant, you’ve found your Soul’s unique vibration. Now you can sync up with the Universe correctly, which puts you back in the flow.
Being in a balanced flow makes everything easier! Take a few minutes to relax and enjoy that feeling.
Step Ten:
Oftentimes, healing emotional shock and confusion requires a change in priorities. There may be certain intention or expectations that have contributed to your confusion.
Use this Circle to identify and remove old intentions that are no longer appropriate for you to hold or send energy to.
Imagine you can clear away any outdated intentions or societal motives that are harmful to your health, prosperity and happiness.
Now that they’re gone, what new intentions do you want to set or strengthen?
Step Eleven:
There may also be negative or outdated plans, blueprints and habitual patterns that are suddenly reversed. They may no longer be relevant or constructive and are now obstructing your way forward. You can use this symbol for dissolving destructive blueprints to help you identify them and dissolve whatever is confusing you.
Actively imagine that the negative patterns in your mind are like heavy clouds or a jumbled maze of fears, dead ends and nightmares.
Once you have the image, bring the pure light of the Sun in and dissolve the maze completely.
You’ll know that you’re done when you can see yourself standing in a beautiful open field with clear blue skies all around.
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!
Step Twelve:
Be sure to include harmful karma that you may still be carrying. Release any seeds of karma that could prolong or cause a recurrence of your suffering and send them to the Light.
Also, surrender any seeds that are not yours so they can return to wherever they belong and be healed!
“I surrender other people’s karma and take responsibility for my own.”
These steps are often overlooked, causing a lot of repeat and unnecessary suffering.
Later, once the karma has been set right, consider planting new seeds for healthier and happier outcomes.
Step Thirteen:
When one door closes another can open, so be certain to seal and heal any holes, leaks or harmful pathways that may have come open in your energy field during this process. Open pathways can leave you vulnerable to danger by allowing harmful energies to pass back and forth between you and others.
As you gaze at the Circle, affirm that harmful leaks and open holes are closing up completely. See it happening in your mind’s eye.
“All holes are healed and sealed.”
“I follow the direction of my Soul’s protection.”
Step Fourteen:
Finally, you’re in a place where you can successfully surround your Self with a sphere of courage, strength and protection. Shamans call this a “ring of fire”.
With it, you feel safer and more confident with every breath.
“I am surrounded and filled with strength, courage and determination.”
Give yourself permission to rest and restore your wholeness before you move on from this exercise.
Then, in your own time and in your own way, you can gently return to conscious awareness.
Congratulations!
Now that you’re finished with the exercise, consider taking a nice walk outside. Nothing grounds you like being in nature after an emotional shock.

Stop Disaster Thinking
One of the biggest challenges of facing our current situation is the problem of disaster thinking.
It’s so easy to get sucked into negative, disaster thinking. All you have to do is turn on any form of media and within minutes you’re hit with intense waves of fear, paranoia, even wrath. Before you know it, your energy is getting drained and you’re feeling on the edge of collapse.
If you feel that you’ve already dropped into a hole of hopelessness, I recommend going through our self care formula Clearing an Overwhelmed Mind immediately or select another formula from our Overwhelm Help menu to reboot your energy.
However, if you’re still able to see that you’re heading toward one of those holes, there’s still time to stop yourself and turn around.
Of course there are plenty of disastrous events that are actually happening. I’m not suggesting that you isolate, live in denial or surround yourself with ‘nothing to see here’ apathy. However, letting your attention get sucked into all the problems while ignoring the solutions is like watching a rotten foundation collapse under your feet and assuming the rest of the building is going to stay upright and stable. It ain’t gonna happen!
Our problems can’t be solved from the same mental position they were created from. A positive balance can be struck by consciously pulling your attention and energy away from the problems and redirecting them to genuinely helpful solutions.
It may sound hard to do, but learning to stop disaster thinking can happen with a holistic approach that works with Mother Nature.
With the Intuitive Learning Circle method, you can easily use the symbols and Animal Totems Circles as refocusing tools. All you have to do is be open and follow the simple directions.
Each Circle helps gather unconscious information, organize awareness and illuminate solutions that come directly from your Soul. You are in charge!
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!
If someone is with you, talk to them about some of the feelings that you’re having. It could help you to gain perspective on your situation. Having perspective allows you to make the best decisions about what will help you now.
Start out by taking a moment to consider what kinds of situations really suck you in. At this moment, what seems to be draining you?
An energy drain could be anything – time, work, family, politics, technology, social media or even a personal relationship.
What kind of disaster thinking comes to mind first?
Next, scroll down and gaze softly at the short sequence of Intuitive Learning Circles below. Let each Circle help you access intuitive answers to the questions that go along with them.
Step 1:
Take a moment to relax and take a few deep breaths. Let your shoulders drop and gently look at the Circle in whatever way that appeals to you. Once you feel pretty relaxed, ask yourself some questions:
“What am I paying attention to and is that in my best interests?”
“What am I making up about this? Is my imagination running wild? Am I thinking it could only happen one way? Or, is there a strange combination of both?”
It’s important that you take whatever answers that come to you because they’re having a significant effect on your ability to focus on a positive mindset.
Step 2:
Are you fixating on the problem or does your mind go blank? If so, your mental / emotional energy is feeding directly into the problem instead of solving it!
See if you can soften your thoughts and attention by relaxing with this Circle. Breathe into it and visualize the lines getting all soft and wavy, like limp, loose spaghetti noodles.
Once you’re relaxed, you can move any blockages out of the way.
Step 3.
Gaze softly at this next Circle that helps you access your unconscious decisions:
“What decisions am I making about this situation? What have I decided about myself? Are those productive thoughts?”
If they are productive, great! Make them even stronger. If they’re not productive, you may need to remove those unproductive decisions that are spinning around in your mind, or you may need to release fixated thoughts again with Step 2.
Notice how you can spin those blockages out by meditating on Llama’s Circle while encouraging the wheels in your mind to flow together in a clockwise direction.
Once you’ve let those unconscious decisions go, you can reprogram your mind. What kind of thoughts and decisions would be better for you to follow? Don’t judge, just relax and let this Circle help you turn your thoughts around. Oftentimes, when we change the direction of the wheels that go round in our minds, we become open to solutions that can change how we’re responding to the situation. Visualize them syncing up together in a clockwise direction.
Step 4.
To gain control of your thoughts, it helps to utilize the generative life force from the Element of Air. Connect with this symbol to help you integrate the new energy. Use it to close confusing energy channels from the past.
You can even connect with new channels of helpful communication. Imagine the lines in the Circle connecting up in the center. Take all the time that you need. Both crossed and uncrossed.
Step 5.
Do you need to change any intentions that are interfering with your health or happiness? If you do, it’s time to surrender them like old ashes out of a shaman’s prayer pipe.
What is a simple intention that would be more beneficial now?
Possible suggestion would include taking good care of yourself and staying in the New Paradigm to the best of your ability.
Step 6.
As you gaze at the totem for Snake Medicine, ask yourself:
“Am I willing to re-align my chakra system around my new intention using this new communication channel and generative life flow?”
If the answer you get is “no,” what is the blockage that you’re experiencing? Is a particular chakra or mindset creating a problem? What would help?
If the answer is “yes,” use your imagination to visualize protective energies like Reiki filling up and flowing through your body. Doing this will help you to safely detach from disaster thinking and reinforce the integrity of your energy field. This may take a while. Take a break, move around or stretch for a few minutes.
Step 7.
If you’ve decided to take good care of yourself, continue to seal up those drains in your energy field – nice and secure.
“All leaks and drains affecting my energy are closing down and shutting off in accordance with my highest good.”
This puts your Essence in a better mindset to re-direct all that energy to the care and feeding of your body, mind and Soul!
Step 8.
Use this Circle to help connect you with your heart center which will empower your highest good.
“I am empowered to make beneficial decisions and maintain my highest good – for my own sake and the sake of others.”
Again, this may take a few minutes to integrate, so do what you are inspired to do. Move around and stretch if you like.
Step 9:
Check into your sense of direction…
“Am I clear and heading in the direction that’s genuinely helpful to me?”
If you’re confused, relax and let Dog Medicine help you get back on track.
Step 10.
Imagine that your spirit can turn you towards the direction of your highest good and close the door completely on all that disaster thinking.
“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 pulled yourself out of disaster thinking.
Congratulations!
Now that you know how to use the Circles and how they can help, you might want to experiment some more.

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

Balance Your Crown Chakra
Welcome to a Transformation Game to Help You Balance Your Crown Chakra and Shift Your Consciousness:
The crown chakra is located on the crown or top of the head. When clear, this energetic wheel of light vibrates with the colors white and/or gold and influences the entire endocrine system via the pineal gland. If you can open and balance your Crown Chakra, you’re keeping an important link with your spiritual essence clear.
Not only that, when your Crown Chakra is open and integrating well with the rest of your body, you can tap into how you manage your natural cycles, hormones and rhythms that govern self-care and improve sleep.
These are all ingredients for a life affirming, peaceful state of mind.
Unfortunately, the proliferation of harmful toxins and electro-magnetic frequencies in our environment can clog up important energy centers. If you’ve been having trouble with your sleep or connecting with your inner guidance, you can go through this chakra meditation to help you let go of those toxins.
Begin with this Reiki Chakra Key for the five senses, which will help bring your perception of things into greater balance. Use these positive affirmations:
“I connect with and balance my five senses.”
“I use them to be aware of changes in my natural rhythms and to help me get balanced.”
“I sense things accurately – as they are really happening for me in the present, so that I can align with my highest good.”
Your chakras could be having a difficult time adjusting to all the significant changes that are taking place. Sudden reversals, blockages and changes in momentum can cause disruptions in our subtle energy system.
This Soul Star Correction Key can help you correct any rough glitches or reversals that you may be experiencing.
Relax with it for a few minutes until your sense of things smooths out and you can begin to feel the energy of your Soul coming through.
Next, open and balance your Third Chakra located in your solar plexus, the area in front where your ribs go up.
Your Psyche or Essential Self resides most effectively in your Third Chakra. This is the place where it can most effectively connect with the rest of your body. The existence of the Essential Self is discussed in many cultures and disciplines. Other names would be your Inner Child, the Authentic Self, the Golden Child or the Basic Self. Regardless of what it’s called, you can think of it as your gut instincts or “I am” essence.
Keeping this “home space” clear and open is important, so take all the time you need!
Now that your Essence is present, let’s see if you can gently open and balance your Fourth or Heart Chakra. Gaze softly at the Reiki Chakra Key below for a minute or so.
When your heart center is open and balanced, you can naturally feel the energy radiating out into the world. You are a light in this world!
Next, open and align your Master Chakras with your Heart Chakra. This will help to clarify and empower your intentions.
Now it’s time to open and balance your Crown Chakra. Gaze softly at the Reiki Chakra Key below for a minute or two. When it feels like the energy is moving, actively imagine a channel opening up at the very top of your head – like a fountain, letting go of any blockage and interference that may be there.
“I decide to open my Crown Chakra and bring it into balance.”
Once the initial rush of energy is released at the Crown, the fountain will naturally subside.
Let’s not forget to open and balance the chakras for your pineal gland itself (every gland, organ and joint has at least one chakra). The pineal gland produces melatonin, which helps maintain the sleep-wake cycle known as the circadian rhythm and regulate reproductive hormones. Be patient with this one because pineal glands often get clogged up with toxic residue.
“I relax and let my pineal gland relax and clear itself out.”
Now let’s strengthen and reweave the subtle hara lines that connect all these chakras like a beautiful web of light!
To finish this section, clear harmful thoughts and clutter out of the landscape of your mind. Imagine they’re like leftover garbage and you can simply sweep them all away!
Decide that you will no longer allow others to dump their garbage into your mind. Close the door that lets all that garbage in!
Congratulations! You’ve cleared and balanced your Crown Chakra and associated energy fields. Now you’ve set yourself up to function more effectively in the New Paradigm and shift your consciousness to accommodate your new intentions.
The following extra-intuitive activities aren’t required, but they can really help you excel in creating the very best of your talents, interests and passions…
The energy is changing! We’re moving from the Piscean Age (water) into the Aquarian (air), which works quite differently from what we’re used to.
You may need to release some agreements that are preventing you from ADAPTING to the changes. Use this Soul Contract Circle to identify and release conditioning that contributes to struggling, being fearful or out of balance. Simply gaze softly at the Circle while you use the affirmations. Actively imagine those old contracts burning up as you go through this process.
“I clear any agreements I have to panic, over-think or _________.”
I let go of harmful intentions, rhythms, patterns or energies.”
“I let go of harmful ideas, misunderstandings and false guidance.”
You might also want to make new agreements using these suggestions:
“My new agreement is to take good care of myself. I am a priority.”
“I slow down and ask for help from my Spirit to ____________.”
“I am open to spontaneous suggestions from my Soul to __________. Examples: Rest and relax. Take frequent walks in nature. Wash my hands thoroughly with a calm state of mind. Drink clear, refreshing water. Take epson salt baths and use cleansing products with natural clay, etc.
Take several minutes to gaze softly at #32 Condor from Gifts from the Rainforest. This Circle can help you de-magnetize static that contributes to over-thinking, fixations, conflicts or irritation.
“I relax and allow the stress to melt away with every breath I take.”
“I release my grip on feelings of confusion, fear or panic.”
“I let go of mental patterns of compulsive thinking
and being hard on myself.”
“I am open to gentler ways of thinking and being.”
You’ll know you’ve let go when you can easily visualize and feel a more relaxed way of being. “All aspects of my Essence are willing to relax and take it easy
so I can enjoy life better.”
Continue to breathe deeply with this Circle. Imagine that any resistance you may be feeling is loosening up and blowing away, like leaves in the wind.
You might want to move around, shake or rock your body to help you actualize it physically. Take all the time you need!
Let this symbol help you seal off any harmful energy channels that you’ve been open to (do that both crossed and uncrossed over the midline of your body).
“I close down harmful energy channels.”
“My mind and body are open to receive generative life force.”
“I connect with life affirming channels of communication.”
Now let’s see if you’ve cleared your Self enough to connect with your true hearts desire.
“What would I genuinely like to experience?”
What do you need to help you be in the flow with Nature and get back into sync with it?
Allow the energy of your Soul to come in and fill your consciousness with its life giving vibration. This is your Soul Color. Let it fill your body, your mind and into your aura.
Empower this new chain of communication channels with your Soul. If you feel like you don’t exist, imagine that your Soul can gently connect with your Essence through your heart center. Ask to be empowered in accordance with your highest good!
Breathe deeply while the adjustments take hold.
Once you feel empowered, finish the shift by sending any destructive mental or emotional patterns to the Light with this symbol for dissolving destructive blueprints.
“I let go of outdated ways of thinking and emotional stress.
I send all blockages and interference to the Light to be transformed.”
Please note: Never send destructive energies into the Earth, she already has too much to handle now. Use the Earth for planting seeds of happiness and life – not death!
Once the patterns are cleared, give your heart and Soul some relief through closure.
“All leaks, tears or damages to my aura are repaired and refocused.
My energy is my own.”
Congratulations! Once you feel complete, go back now to the Crown Chakra at the beginning of this exercise and see if you notice a difference in how the energy is moving. When your Crown Chakra is open and balanced, your consciousness, your mood and your natural cycles are greatly improved.
