Single Minded Focus with Praying Mantis Medicine
Self-care and Personal Growth through Gifts from the Rainforest:
6. Praying Mantis Medicine – is a master teacher for easily distracted minds. When you can still your thoughts and concentrate on your true priorities, success is far more likely.
What are you paying attention to?
Is this a productive use of your time and attention?
What would your Soul ask you to focus on instead?
Healing Action: Focus. Clarify your attention and intention. Dispel confusion. Be patient and prepare yourself to act.
The Prayer of Praying Mantis
Combine the stillness of meditation
with clarity of purpose.
Praying Mantis instructs us in mastery
over our base instincts.
He lives in stillness – the keen observer
and waits with precision until the exact time
when action will produce the desired results.
Cease all action that is without purpose.
Still the mind and consciously
become an instrument for your Soul to move through
effortlessly.
Focus all energies on the truth of your being.
There is no fear,
except that which you allow to exist.
Discipline.
Direction.
Divinity.
Mind Body Integration
For best results, gaze softly at the Circle both crossed over the midline of the body and uncrossed so that the communication is more complete.
Intuitive Learning Circles help you access your inner guidance and self-confidence to make proactive changes. Simply relax and gaze at the Circles while contemplating its message and positive affirmations. Your intuition will come forward and give you the help that you seek.
Further Exploration into Praying Mantis Medicine:
The medicine of Praying Mantis suggests that your focus is off or distracted. You’re impulsively doing too many things at one time and would do well to center yourself before taking action. Gaze softly at the Circle and breathe. See if you can focus on what really matters now.
Are you having trouble focusing because you’re pushing yourself to get something done? If so, it’s probably not necessary and may actually be causing you trouble in the long run. Being everything to everyone is an impossible demand to make of yourself. Take a step back from unreasonable intentions and let them go.
Get quiet and ask your heart: “What is the real reason behind pushing myself so hard? What am I afraid of?”
What unreasonable expectations are you holding against yourself? Are you digging your heels in on some destructive behavior? Consider what it’s doing to you and If you’re finally ready to let it go. If you are, hand it over to your Higher Power. Then ask to be aligned with that Higher Power, which is your Source. Once you have done this, you can inspire others to do the same.
If you’re trying to do it all yourself, you’re causing yourself unnecessary stress, exhaustion and burnout. Hand over some parts of the process to others who can assist.
Finally, Praying Mantis would like to help you improve your intuition by developing what’s called “peripheral vision.” Start by gazing softly at the center of the Circle and bring yourself into a powerful trance-like focus. Keep your eyes there on the Circle while you gently expand your awareness into the space around you. Notice the noises and activity going on in your environment. If you practice this kind of empowered focus regularly, you’ll help yourself in more ways than you know.

The Path Forward
Finding the Path Forward Through the Tao
Kuan Yin has been helping us to transition through a variety of readings, games and Power Circles since 2009. Her advice about finding a path forward springs from the I Ching, an ancient shamanic book of divination that follows the flow of the cosmos.
The Great Conjunction on the Winter Solstice of 2020 marked the official start of what some call the Aquarian Age. Kuan Yin simply refers to it as a New Paradigm based on the Common Good. Ever since then, her main guidance to carry with us comes from the I Ching Hexagram #21 REFORM:
“Know what you want, know what makes you feel good about your Self, know what brings you into harmony with others. These are your guidelines and principles. Other factors that assume control of your behavior or your health or that create inner discord are the obstacles that must be overcome. Be firm, unemotional, gentle, and clear in annihilating them and thereby reforming your Self and your environment.” ~The I Ching Workbook, R.L Wing
In this particular Transformation Game, Kuan Yin wants to help us connect with the Tao so we can effectively activate of the Four Elements traditionally accessed for manifestation (Fire, Air, Earth, Water). Along the way, you’ll go through a intimate inquiry with your Soul about how you can properly and safely use them with your true nature to find a joyful path moving forward.
You will:
- Get in touch with changes in the cosmic flow
- Put your Soul in charge
- Let go of harmful, outdated agreements and agendas
- Activate the Violet Flame to help you clear toxic energy more easily
- Access the karma you need to create common ground for the common good
- Clear projections and epigenetic imbalances
- Establish a joyful path forward and
- Choose Spirit Animal Tracks and guidance for your journey.
Phase One: Connect with Your Soul to Find a Safe Path Forward ~
We are all being challenged to REFORM certain aspects of our lives and create a new path forward. What do we need to do to intentionally manifest in the New Paradigm that we’re now living in? How can we create common ground based on equality, co-operation with Nature and balanced prosperity?
We know that the status quo is seriously deteriorating and we cannot depend on social norms to keep us safe. The collective unconscious is in a state of confusion about what to do and how to do it.
Access Soul Guidance ~
Begin by gently meditating on Kuan Yin’s Mandala to gather up information from your Soul and the Divine about what is needed.
What corrections or changes need to take place?
What steps would I need to take?
When and in what order should those steps be taken?
Keep something to journal with for important insights you may get.
Be sure to meditate with each symbol both crossed and uncrossed over the midline of your body for improved mind body integration.
Establish a Sincere and Direct Intention ~
Next, give yourself permission to ask for and receive help from Divine Beings that are here to help us in the Aquarian Age. Many forms of Divinity and angelic guidance from the Piscean Age are no longer available to help us.
Make a sincere request and place it in the center open space of the Circle. Consciously breathe while you send your personal energy or mana to it.
“I request help from Divine Grace and Reiki about __________.”
“I request assistance in creating the _________, ________ & ________ needed to accomplish this intention.”
If you are a Reiki practitioner, this is a good time to beam Reiki directly towards your intention. Continue until you feel a gentle and reciprocal energy returning to you.
Invoke Divine Protection ~
The next step is to make sure that you’re using the generative life force of the New Paradigm to facilitate the process:
“I am flexible and open to receive generative life force.”
“I use Divine Protection to facilitate a clear path forward.”
Once you’ve got that, you’re ready to access new channels of communication. Visualize all the communications lines coming together into the center spoke of the circle.
Feel free to refer to this symbol whenever you get stuck or feel the need to breathe.
Release Agreements that Put You in Danger ~
Use Raccoon Medicine to inquire about unconscious agreements that could be keeping you stuck in the old paradigm or the status quo.
“What family or societal agreements might I unconsciously be a part of that are harmful to me?”
“What agreements need to change so I can really move forward freely?”
“I let go of agreements about _____________.”
“I release agreements to buy into or perpetuate a false sense of safety.”
Activate the Healing Energy of the Violet Flame in Your Third Eye ~
It will help a lot to use a beautiful violet flame to clear away toxic energies, contracts and obligations.
Open and Connect your 5th Chakra or Third Eye ~
The Violet Flame is activated through a Divine connection in your Third Eye Chaka:
Get help clearing the way from the Third Eye Soul Star Chakra Key ~
Go back and forth between here and Divine Protection to help you integrate the change. Take all the time that you need and repeat as often as you like.
Safely Release Hidden Agreements with Old Ways of Handling Life Force ~
Change your agreements to help facilitate the changes needed:
“I renegotiate how I utilize the behavior of the Elements of Water and Air in accordance with the highest good.”
“I am flexible and adapt to the predominating flow of energy.”
“I understand that the movement of Air is lighter and quicker.
I can move toxic energy up and release it to the Light much easier.”
Continue using the violet flame to safely facilitate change throughout the rest of this exercise.
Phase Two: Inquiry and Activation of the Four Elements.
1 – Earth. Gaze softly at the Soul Prayer Chart for Earth in the picture below for a few moments and relax while you contemplate the question posed. Let the energy of each Circle calm down before you move on to the next step.
“I call on the Element of Earth.”
“What would I like to bring into being?”
You can call more than one thing into being – just be sure that they’re related to one another and aligned (we don’t want to bring contradictory situations into being).
.
“What seeds would I need to plant for this to happen?”
“What conditions would be needed for them to thrive?”
“I would need ___________, __________ and ________________.”
Make notes to help you keep track of the things you’re going to need.
2 – Water. Do the same thing with this Soul Prayer Chart for Water while you gather up information about what kind of emotional support you need or need to work through.
“How do I feel about creating this new beginning?”
“Am I being led by emotions?”
“What decisions have I made about this situation?”
“What have I decided about myself?”
“Are there any new decisions I would prefer or add?”
“I call on the Element of Water.”
“I am in charge of how I feel in this situation.”
Visualize how you would like to handle any emotions you might encounter.
“How am I perceiving this? Am I accessing turmoil or balance?”
If you’re accessing turmoil, consciously adjust the volume and regain balance.
“I perceive my situation clearly.”
3 – Air. Repeat the process with the Element of Air – which is also the Element of Soul. Use this symbol to access your Soul’s energy signature and clear it of any interference.
“My Soul is in charge of this new beginning.”
“Is there any interference I need to be aware of?”
“Is there anyone else trying to be in charge?”
“I call on the Element of Air.”
“What sort of adjustments might I expect? What will be needed?“
Visualize how you would like to use your thoughts, words and decisions.
4 – Fire. Use this Element to help you form a clear intention. Bring yourself into alignment with your Soul’s destiny and direction. Then ask yourself:
“What do I want to experience?”
“How do I want to be guided?”
“Are those creative or destructive uses of Fire?”
“I call on the Element of Fire.”
“What is the truth about what my Soul wants to experience?”
5 – Natural Instincts. Use the Animal Spirit of Dragonfly to help you pull together your natural instincts and self-healing abilities. Gather them up, both crossed and uncrossed and give them time to percolate into a dream that has real meaning and purpose for you.
“I gather up my natural instincts and use them to help me create my true path forward.”
“I call upon my Essential Nature and Power Animal.”
If there’s something you’ve been wanting, now is a good time to ask if all parts of your Essential Self are on board with creating the path forward that you’re envisioning.
How about your Power Animal and other nature spirits?
If there’s a problem, can you tell what it might be?
If there’s a problem, can you tell what it might be?
6 – Clear Projections. Take a few minutes to check to see if a projection from the status quo or elsewhere is interfering with your clear vision or intention. Also, make sure that you’re not operating out of a projection of your own making!
Once you’ve cleared them all out, go back to 4 – and ask the questions there again.
7 – Beneficial Energies. It’s important to understand that there are many kinds of energies flowing through the Tao. Some are “auspicious” or beneficial and some are not. You would be wise to tap into the most beneficial energies that you can!
“I decide to tap into the beneficial energies of the Tao to manifest protection and my Soul’s intention.”
Scroll down to Divine Protection to help you close down harmful energy channels.
8 – Divine Protection. Reinforce your relationship with the new, life affirming energy that’s coming from the Cosmos to help us manifest effectively.
“I have Divine Protection.”
“I adapt to the positive flow of chi’ available in the New Paradigm to the best of my ability.”
“All harmful energy channels from the status quo are closed down.”
“I connect with the new, life affirming channels of communication.”
9 – Balanced Prosperity.
In this New Paradigm based on Common Ground, a major objective is to experience Prosperity in balance with Nature.
“I call on the Divine to help me direct my energy to nurture and sustain what’s genuinely important and matters in my life.”
10 – Epigenetic Clearing. Relax with this DNA symbol from Divine Nature Activated and make certain that you’ve cleared family stress and epigenetic tags that block your ability to flow with the Circle of Life.
Being relaxed is really important for DNA symbols to do their best work.
11 – Additional Epigenetic Clearing.
“The Path Forward into the New Paradigm is clear.”
If it doesn’t feel clear, what number(s) between 1 – 73 might help?
Choose corrections from Divine Nature Activated #1 – 73.
Congratulations! It’s time to get up and take a break before the final phase.
Phase Three: Call For Guidance.
Kuan Yin always says that “It’s much easier to do the right thing when you are in good company. Following good examples will lead you to success.”
In this final phase, we’re going to call upon Plant and Animal Spirits from Gifts from the Rainforest to be guides for us as we create a path forward into the New Paradigm.
Together, this is how we can make the best progress on our journey…
9 – Old Sol. Once you feel clear, ask Old Sol whose guidance you could use right now – Snake, Jaguar, Condor, Llama or Plant Spirits?
“Considering what I would like to bring into being and what I’m going through personally, is there a Plant or Spirit Animal that would be most helpful to me as a guide?”
Remember to breathe and relax while you contemplate the question.
Which one has the strongest attraction for you?
Snake, Jaguar, Condor, Llama or Plant Spirits?
Wait until you feel a clear choice coming from your heart / solar plexus area. Being centered and trusting your gut is a key element to getting good guidance from your Soul!
Once you have your answer, scroll down to that Plant or Animal’s link and check out the Games, Formulas and Exercises that they recommend and are willing to work with you on.
1. Transmuting with the Snake
“You have activated your spiritual will and are ready to be done with disloyalty toward’s your Soul’s purpose, like co-dependence and petty dramas. Come back into your power. … Like the snake, you have transcended the limitations of who you thought you were…
2. Develop Determination with Jaguar
“Your creativity and special talents will benefit from an influx of courage and trust in yourself. It’s time to stand tall and unflinching, regardless of what others are saying…

4. New Decisions with Llama
“Your heart is asking you to be open to the great unknown, yet you’re finding it hard to take a chance and give your all to your hearts desire. Perhaps the shock of past events has deterred you from making a commitment because your ego is afraid that what happened before will happen again…
5. Balancing with Plants Spirits
“You are being encouraged to use natural forms of healing to bring balance back into your situation. Let them teach you about the natural give and take in life and understand how all things are connected…
