Do the Right Thing – Conflict Resolution
How To Do the Right Thing and Turn Things Around
Do you ever have the feeling that you’re about to do something you’ll regret? Do you get concerned that you’re not doing something you really ought to do? If you could straighten out your thinking and do the right thing, what would that do for you?
You can help yourself find emotional healing by taking this quick quiz…
You may be having difficulty interacting with situations and relationships around you because of false information, mixed messages or unresolved issues from your past. By taking the time to go within and find out what your thinking really is, you can understand what’s motivating you and take action to resolve the situation.
Part One: Help Me Do The Right Thing!
Note: This exercise is associated with the I Ching Hexagrams #6 CONFLICT, #38 CONTRADICTION and #43 RESOLUTION:
- The way to play this game is to relax and breathe deeply while you meditate on the questions and suggestions that accompany the Circles. This first one will help you to slow down and let yourself focus on one thing at a time.
“I slow down and relax.”
“I am able to focus on my priorities.”
After you’ve gotten calmer and more relaxed, ask yourself an honest question:
“What do I really want here?”
You may want to journal or take note of the initial answers that come to you.
If you get a clear answer, skip down to STEP FOUR. If not, continue with the next step.
2. If you’re not able to focus, take a few minutes with this next Circle that helps you clear conflicting thoughts and fixations. When your mind gets fixated on a particular grievance or offense, it can be really hard to let it go.
It’s understandable, however the problem with that reaction is when the fixation hardens into a blockage that prevents you from resolving the trauma. A survival mind cannot see the opportunities that are available to help you heal and move on. It goes into a kind of tunnel vision where your nervous system freezes up around the grievance and carries it around with you, wherever you go. This is not a recipe for being joyful or happy.
Luckily, there are ways to relax and melt away the fixation.
Use the Circle to help you find that hardened thought or feeling. It will have a strong, electrical charge. Once you’ve found it, visualize a block of ice melting away under the heat of the Sun until it’s completely gone. Breathe and relax your body as much as you’re willing to.
Alternately, you can imagine the lines going in towards the center, softening and beginning to move, like cooked spaghetti noodles. Moving around often helps.
Repeat the process with other blockages that come up to the surface.
Your sub-conscious mind may have been holding onto them for a very long time. Even life times!
3. This is one of the reasons why unpreferred karma keeps coming around and never resolves. It’s an endless cycle of no win situations until you find a way to set it right and let go of the original hardened thought or seed. Imagine that you can use this Circle to go back to the very beginning of where this conflict began.
Once you find those original seeds, imagine you can lift them up out of your mind and send them to the Light. This affirmation will help:
“I let go of carrying this suffering anymore.”
Continue with any other seeds of Karma that could prolong or cause a recurrence of your suffering and send them to the Light as well.
“I release the seeds of cruelty, betrayal, deceit, resentment and revenge.”
“I am no longer a dumping ground for other people’s karma or ill will.”
“I intend to plant seeds that will RESOLVE this conflict peacefully and completely – for my own sake.”
Once you feel with complete with setting your Karma right, go back up to step 1 and see if you can focus better.
Step 4
4. Once you have an answer that feels right, continue asking yourself the questions while you gaze softly at the accompanying Circle.
Take your time, the answers might not come right away. The Circles are helping your mind to clear away mental and emotional clutter that cause you to make rash decision or resist your own best interests.
Use this Circle to observe your mind as you consider a basic question:
“What is my mind telling me to do?”
Notice how your survival mind likes to focus in on a trauma reaction or complicate things by spinning around in a dozen different directions. These kinds of decisions are unlikely to benefit you in the long run and will most likely cause more trouble.
Go back to the Circle and ask yourself:
“Am I holding onto other people’s opinions or a past decision that’s in CONFLICT with what would really be in my best interests now? If so, can I tell what it is?”
Are you holding onto an unreasonable CONFLICT yourself?
If so, are you willing to decide to let it go?
“I decide to take care of and love myself to the very best of my ability.”
5. Continue your investigation. Now is a good time to avoid emotional outbursts and extraneous tension that’s caused through cultural misunderstandings or agendas.
These behaviors are a waste of your precious resources. Through acceptance, you can learn to curb your more indulgent tendencies and redirect your energy to attend to the business at hand.
To help you do this, it would be good to uncover certain cultural agreements that may be affecting you from the shadows. Ask this Circle:
“What is my motivation here?”
“Is there an agreement I have with myself or anyone else involved that’s triggering a hate, fear or revenge based reaction?
Is it tearing me apart, shutting me down or making me feel like, ‘why bother?’
Can I tell where and from whom I learned to do this?”
“What do I need to do to heal myself?”
In most cases, part of healing requires letting go of something from the past.
Is there any part of you that doesn’t want to do that?
6. Use this Circle to shed some light on what kind of intentions you’ve been holding.
“What kind of intention am I holding about this situation?”
“If I continue to hold that intention, what am I really asking for?
“Do I need to amend my intention or let go of it completely?
Are there any parts of you that don’t want to let it go completely?
“What intention might help me respond better in this situation?”
“What would it mean if I could be kinder to myself?”
Are there other intentions that might be causing CONFLICT for you?
7. See if there are any old agreements, assumptions or grudges that could be keeping this CONFLICT going and release them. Visualize them like contracts, burning up into nothingness in a violet flame.
“I let go of outdated agreements, assumptions, contradictions, compulsions, obsessions, obligations or dogma.”
“I let go of the need to hold onto the conflict in this situation.”
“I let go of any conditioning or training that perpetuates unnecessary conflict.”
“I release any agreements to take things personally or internalize them.”
Make some new agreements that support a healthy resolution, like:
“My new agreement is to see the CONFLICT for what it really is.”
“My Soul is in charge. I accept and forgive myself for what I’ve done in the past. “
“I choose my words and actions wisely now.”
“I decide to accept the other party as they are and respond with integrity.”
“I decide to use the cooperative, life affirming energies of the New Paradigm to RESOLVE this situation effectively.” Etc.
8. Ask what sort of messages are being projected in your situation.
“Is it possible that someone is just trying to get a reaction out of me? Am I getting trapped in a nightmare of projections?”
Projections are usually particular emotions or conflicts that your mind is already wrestling with.
Pull back and imagine that the situation is like being trapped in a maze or house of mirrors.
Release your agreement to perpetuate it, then, consciously shatter the mirrors and deconstruct the trap. Clear it all away until there’s nothing left to hold onto.
9. Refocus your senses onto what’s really happening – without distractions.
What is the truth in this situation?
How would you describe it?
Ask yourself:
“Where can I find the real solutions to this CONFLICT?”
Make note of the answers that come to you, even if they don’t make sense at first.
10. Use this Reiki Chakra Key to connect into your Heart Center and the Light that Shines from within.
“What would help me to turn around and move towards understanding so that I can do the right thing?”
It may help to intend that all fourteen of your meridians are feeding it directly and that the energy of your heart is radiating out – rather than pulling in.
ADVANCED CORRECTIONS for Interfering Energy
Sometimes CONFLICTS involve entanglements with cursing energy, mental illness, herd mentality or violent thought forms. These can be tricky and often need to be deconstructed safely from a variety of angles. The following CORRECTIONS are included to help you RESOLVE the issue on a deeper level so you can be free to do the right thing!
This particular Soul Prayer Chart can help you get to the bottom of what may be going on and identify what actions you can take to help yourself without wasting too much time.
“Is a trickster or other false design obscuring my true blueprint?”
“Am I unwittingly operating under a curse?”
“Do I need to let go of a false imprint?”
If so, on what level or levels?
Physical, etheric, mental, emotional, astral or spiritual?
If it’s spiritual, is it on the level of how you see yourself spiritually or how you see others?
Correction – Damage to the Auras
There may be energies from others that have attached to your aura. The damage creates pockets in your energy field where you unwittingly store “baggage” that prevents you from being able to let go. Use this Soul Prayer Chart to help you neutralize interfering energies and detach from them.
Imagine that the energy around you is expanding and filing up with Light so that those energies just lift right up and off of you.
If you are a Reiki practitioner, this is an excellent time to beam Reiki into the Chart with these positive affirmations:
“I easily and effectively remove toxic and heavily charged energies.”
“They are lifting and being neutralized safely by the Light of the Sun.”
CORRECTION – Neutralize Toxic Entanglements
Get help clearing your energy field of toxins. Use this key to relax and mend any energetic wounds that are associated with negative attachments, psychic attack, heavy metals, electro-magnetic poisoning or viral energies.
Like a healing balm, imagine that a loving coat of peace and comfort is pouring down over you.
“My chakra system can easily and effectively neutralize interfering energies and detach from them.”
Continue to beam Reiki into the Chart until the energy subsides.
CORRECTION
When a person is experiencing CONFLICT, anxiety or has been exposed to viruses and other destructive energies, it’s not uncommon for their chakras and/or meridians to start running in reverse or shut down entirely.
Relax and let this Correction Key help you make corrections to problems including addictions, allergic reactions, deformations, reversals and misdirections.
“I repair the glitches, holes and blockages in my energy system.”
Sometimes the CONFLICTING energy is in our environment contributes to glitches or reversals in our energy fields.
Use it to smooth out any rough energy until you can begin to feel the calming energy of your Soul coming through.
CORRECTION – Detach from Destructive Mindsets & Groupthink
Early Morning Storm can help you detach from harmful emotional constructs, irritations and motivations that are shared collectively.
Make sure that you’re not inadvertently attached to an external CONFLICT or adversarial state of mind.
“My mind and Essence stops feeding CONFLICT, interference or __________.”
For electro-magnetic attachments, use The Essential Human. Ask for numbers between 1 and 42 to help you detach from destructive mindsets and agendas.
You can also use Divine Nature Activated for ancestral/epigenetic clearing.
Ask for numbers between 1 – 73.
Keep asking for numbers until the Circle reflects a clear slate.
11. Now you’re ready to bring RESOLUTION to the various mental and emotional behaviors that have fed your CONFLICT. Use this symbol to dissolve destructive blueprints that have been causing you harm.
“I release the mental/emotional patterns of reacting out of fear, obligation, dread, revenge or disdain.”
“I let go of the underlying triggers of worry, guilt or ___________ and send them to the Light.”
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!
12. Once the patterns are dissolved in your mind, seal and heal any leaks or attachments that may lead you back into CONFLICT.
“All holes are sealed and healed. All pathways that lead to CONTRADICTIONS and CONFLICT are closing.”
“I follow the direction of my Soul’s protection and intended path.”
Congratulations! Letting go is one of the hardest things for us to do. Yet, they say that when one door closes, another can open. When you’re willing to make a change for the better – anything is possible!
It’s best now to take some time away and rest so that you can ingrate and really let go. Taking a walk or being out in Nature is always and excellent way to process…
Once You’re Ready, You Can Continue with Part Two: How to Turn Things Around!
This is where you get to empower the RESOLUTION.

How Well Are You Nourishing Yourself?
Evaluate How You’re Nourishing Yourself in the New Paradigm ~
Kuan Yin has been helping us through these I Ching Readings to transition from the old economic paradigm based on greed and fear to a new paradigm of co-operation and balanced prosperity. Today, her advice about NOURISHING comes from the I Ching, an ancient book of divination that follows the flow of the cosmos. Because of that, her advice and instruction comes from a different perspective than ours.
To help you better connect with her assistance, she uses the Intuitive Learning Circles to communicate with you through meditation, positive affirmations and visualization. Here’s an example that could help you tune into how your nourishing yourself:
“I reclaim and balance my five senses.”
“I focus them to be aware of my own body and how I’m taking care of myself.”
“I gain clear awareness of what beneficial energies and actions could nourish me in present time.”
“I become aware of blockages and new ways to remedy them.”
MIND BODY INTEGRATION
For best results playing a Transformation Game, look at each Circle both crossed over the midline of the body and uncrossed so that the correction is more complete.
Kuan Yin’s I Ching Readings and Transformation Games can help you to identify problems, change your focus to positive solutions, ground yourself and get in the present. Simply relax and gaze at the Circles while contemplating Kuan Yins words. Your intuition will come forward and give you the help that you seek.
Welcome to the I Ching Reading and Transformation Game for: Hexagram # 27 – Nourishing
Did you know that your body knows a lot about what it needs and how well you’re nourishing yourself?
Part One: Physical and Emotional Nourishment
For example, your Second Chakra is deeply connected to your emotions, your digestion and immunity. It has a lot of information about how you’re NOURISHING yourself on these levels and what you might do to improve. However, during times of high stress or illness, communication can get blocked from your conscious awareness, making it hard to hear what your body is trying to tell you. Take a moment and relax with this Reiki Chakra Key for your Second Chakra to help you tune in and listen. Use the affirmations if they help or come up with one of your own.
“I allow free flowing, life affirming energy to nourish my Second Chakra.”
“I intend to get clear information about my health and how well I’m nourishing myself.”
There are several ways that the Second Chakra can get blocked. One is inappropriate nourishment. Perhaps you’re eating the wrong foods for you at this time or you could be taking in toxic elements from your environment, including pollution, chemicals, electro-magnetics, illness or other harmful energies.
See if this Circle can help you bring your awareness in to check for those energies. Yes or no, are you picking up:
Any foods that are causing problems?
A problem in the water you’re drinking?
Something in the air that you’re breathing?
Disturbing frequencies, electro-magnetics, chemicals, illness or
other harmful energies?
Make notes for yourself so that you don’t forget and can do some research.
You may need to clear your primary chakras of harmful electro-magnetic frequencies. If so, go here>
You may be having a problem because you’re not yet fully grounded in the New Paradigm based on Common Ground for the Common Good. Meditate gently on the template below to help yourself get acclimated and aligned with this new mindset. 
There might be some kind of karmic entanglement, an emotional conflict or outright danger in your environment. Could any of those issues be present for you right now?
Could you be trying to process somebody else’s emotions?
If so, ask yourself a few pertinent questions:
What would be the purpose in processing someone else’s emotions?
Is continuing to nourish yourself in this way a good idea?
How long has it been going on?
How much damage has been done?
Are you ready and willing to put a stop to it now?
Your Second Chakra could also get blocked if you’re over-indulging in something that’s generally good for you when taken in moderate amounts.
To better determine if something like that is happening with you, experiment with Sloth, one of our favorite Intuitive Learning Circles for slowing down and focusing on what’s really important. Use this medicine to focus in on how you are nourishing yourself.
“I slow down and turn my attention towards my basic needs.”
So, How Are You Currently Seeing Your Needs?
You can use Maslov’s Hierarchy of Needs as a model to help you assess your priorities. Are they in balance?
The triangle may be upside down, distorted or out of focus. The levels could be out of order or a level could be missing entirely. It might not even seem that it fits at all! Use the symbol to the upper right corner of the pyramid to help you set things right.
“I set things right so that how I nourish myself physically and emotionally actually fits my current needs.”
You may need to change some agreements about how you prioritize your needs. For example, you might have an unconscious agreement to sacrifice your health or wellbeing for others. Or, you may have a tendency to cut yourself off from genuinely helpful people and resources. Of course, you may choose to do that. However, it’s a different matter if you’re inadvertently harming yourself against your will! Visualize any agreements that contradict your highest good burning up in a beautiful violet flame.
“I release all agreements to revert back to the past or harmful ways of being.”
“I let go of martyrdom or sacrificing any part of my health or wellbeing.”
“I decide to connect with genuine help and find better ways to take care of myself.”
Make other new agreements that would be helpful to you now…
“It would benefit me to ______________.”
Please note: There have been a lot of changes in the general energy and in how we need to adapt to it. Old ways of functioning are passing out of existence and other, more beneficial ways need to be strengthened. This is a good time to release your agreements with those old ways as well…
“I release all agreements to nourish or support the patriarchal imprint of control, hatred, exploitation and inequality.”
“I decide to strengthen and nourish the Common Good based on Common Ground.”
“I close down harmful energy channels that drain my vitality, like no win situations, assumptions and diminishing returns.”
“My mind and body are open and clear to receive generative life force.”
“I release all agreements to source from or attach to the channel of fear, greed and revenge.”
“I now source from and integrate with Joy and Gratitude.”
Now that you’ve made those updates, you’re ready to continue…
Evaluate How You Are Nourishing Yourself.
Now that your priorities are clearer, you can get more accurate information about how to nourish yourself. If you follow the directions, you can get all kinds of answers that could really help out. All you have to do is relax and gaze softly at the center open space of this Circle while you ask yourself a few questions.
Use a scale of one to ten to evaluate what’s going on (one being lousy and ten being great!). Be sure to listen to your body and be receptive to the answers that come.
Use a scale of “One to Ten”:
“How am I nourishing myself nutritionally? Am I taking in too much of something? Is there something I’m not getting enough of? Is there something I need to put some LIMITATIONS on?
What about how I’m emotionally nourishing myself?
What about nourishing my spiritual connection?
Am I giving myself positive, helpful mental input?
How well am I taking care of my body’s needs for exercise, rest, fresh air?”
Use this Symbol to Consciously Bring in Your Soul’s Unique Energy Signature.
“I relax and align myself with the true signature and imprint of my Soul.”
“I clear away imprints that obscure who I really am, like old graffiti markings.”
“I recognize my true signature, just as I recognize my signature on a document.”
Continue Your Evaluation and Consciously Put Together a New Awareness.
Bring together the puzzle pieces that come directly from your Soul. For help, ask yourself:
“Am I missing anything? What could I really use?”
“What do I need to do to put this all together?”
“What is the best way to proceed?”
Keep crossing and uncrossing your arms or legs until some clear guidance comes. Also, make a note of it so that you don’t forget.
Complete Part One:
Energetically Clear Out Your 2nd Chakra.
Take all the time you need.
“I clear out any unwanted or harmful energies.”
“I give myself an energy boost!”
Connect with New, Life Affirming Channels of Communication.
Install this symbol like a sort of filter for the Second Chakra.
“I adapt to the generative flow of chi’ available
in the New Paradigm to the best of my ability.”
“I close down harmful energy channels from the past.”
“I connect to new, life affirming channels of communication.”
Congratulations! You’ve just set the stage to let go of harmful energies and emotions and begin moving in the direction of NOURISHING yourself appropriately. Be sure to take time to rest and integrate this process. Take a walk or get out into nature if you can!
In this first part, we’ve aimed to clear things up enough for you to get a general picture of how you’re nourishing yourself and what you need to do to improve your experience.
In the Part 2 we’re going to take a look at how some of your projects are nourishing you!

Open Your Heart and Reunite with Nature
How to Open Your Heart with Gifts From the Rainforest ~
There are fifty-eight Intuitive Learning Circles in Gifts from the Rainforest. Each Circle imparts the teaching and healing medicine of its plant, animal or nature spirit.
You can think of them as communication tools to help you access intuition that comes from your Soul.
Gifts from the Rainforest is the foundational guide for the Intuitive Learning Circle method.
Available Soon – Revised Practitioner’s Edition
Making Friends with the Helpers of Physical Manifestation
This Game has three goals:
To open your heart to a method for communicating with nature and your Soul through the Intuitive Learning Circles.- To develop your intuition and ability to look within for answers.
- To improve your level of personal power and discernment for living appropriately in the New Paradigm.
Open Your Heart to Reorganize Around the Common Good
In order to adapt to the many changes that are happening in our environment, our minds will have an easier time navigating the journey if we have signs and maps to help us find our way. Navigating life under the guidance of our Soul is the primary purpose of the Intuitive Learning Circles.
A Layout and Foundation for the Common Good
For example, if you meditate on the “map” provided in this image, your mind can get a better grasp of what it can organize around in the New Paradigm we’ve entered and how we might be able to co-create common ground for the common good.
Relax for a minute or two with this template for common ground based on cooperation, joy, equality and balanced prosperity.
If you are able to, go ahead and relax into it to create an imprint. Put your feet on the floor and ground yourself.
Open Your Heart and Reunite with Nature
Within this new terrain, it will be tremendously helpful to develop respectful, reciprocal relationships with the Helpers of Physical Manifestation in Gifts from the Rainforest. This process takes time, trust and a sincere intention to ask for and receive their guidance or medicine.
Each Helper has its own unique medicine, which is explained in the aphorism and “Further Explanation” sections of the post. One Helper might have medicine for dealing with difficult people (for example, Parrot #18), while another might help you to focus better, such as Praying Mantis, #6.
The Helpers are like new friends that can really assist you if you’re willing to slow down, open your heart and get to know them. This Transformation Game will help you to create a healing relationship based on common ground for the common good with whatever Helper you want to get to know next.
Open Your Heart
Begin by going to Old Sol #49 and reading its message.
Through this Circle, symbolized by the Sun, you can connect with your Higher Self. All the other Intuitive Learning Circles only work through your Higher Self or Soul in order to avoid false guidance.
You will be using “Old Sol” to tell you which Helper would be good to get to know next. You can also use it to confirm guidance that you get or formulate questions and intentions that are important to you.
The next step is to gaze softly at the Circle itself and take several relaxing breaths. It doesn’t really matter what part of the image you’re looking at and it isn’t necessary to figure out what the lines or circles do. Just let your intuition guide you.
If you find yourself criticizing or doubting yourself, that’s your critical mind trying to take over and control your thinking. Just set it aside and bring your attention back towards opening your heart.
Now that you’ve read the directions, it’s time to ask your first question. Look at the Circle and ask your heart:
“Is there an issue or situation that I could use some guidance with right now?”
Answers may come in the form of words, a symbol, an impression or a feeling. What ever comes to you, write it down, even if it doesn’t seem to make sense at first.
Also, it’s important to take the the time to include your heart center and listen to it. If you’re all up in your head, chasing after thoughts, that’s not really intuition. Gently bring your attention down into your heart area, slow down and listen for quiet, heart centered messages.
Once you have an issue, ask Old Sol for a number between one and fifty-eight and take the very first number that comes to you. The number you come up with is the number of the Helper and Circle that you most need to make friends with right now.
What number between 1 – 58 does your Soul want you open your heart to?
Write the number down, go to that Helper in your copy or the online book and read about its medicine. Notice if there are any messages that stick out to you.
Next, gaze softly at the Circle (both crossed and uncrossed) and relax. Breathe deeply a few times. Imagine your mind can gather up all the unconscious information it has about this medicine. Now you’re ready to go through the series of Circles in the first section of the game.
Mind Body Integration
For best results playing a Transformation Game, look at each Circle both crossed over the midline of the body and uncrossed so that the correction is more complete.
If your mind goes blank, go here to clear the blockage.
Section One: Open Your Heart and Clear Obstacles to Communication
1. Earth ~ Our early life conditioning is often the biggest obstacle to spiritual connection and guidance. Gaze at the Earth Circle with soft eyes and breathe deeply with each affirmation:
“In accordance with my highest good…
… I unearth all harmful societal / tribal conditioning that prevents me from connecting with my Higher Self through my heart.”
“I uproot all harmful conditioning that would prevent me from making friends with the _________ Helper I have chosen.”
“I disentangle from all tribal conditioning based on ignorance or harm that would block clear and cooperative communication.”
2. Seed #37~ Pretend this Circle is like a communication device. You ask it a question and an answer comes back to you in the form of words, an image, a feeling or a symbol.
This is how you can use the Circles and their Helpers to communicate intuitively with your Soul or Higher Self. Try it out by asking the Seed Helper:
“What is preventing me from following the true guidance of the __________ Helper?”
Make a note of your answers. At this point the answer(s) may or may not make sense to you yet, so just write them down and continue.
3. Alligator #3 ~ Now it’s time to discover thought processes, emotions or behaviors that are preventing a helpful connection with your chosen Helper. Look into the Intuitive Learning Circle for Alligator and ask the following questions one at a time:
“Can I tell what the problem is?”
“Is it about a behavior? A habit? An attitude?”
“Is it emotional? Conceptual?”
“Is it a blockage in how I’m interacting with my environment?”
“Is it a misunderstanding about how I’m using my energy?”
“Is it an attachment or entanglement?”
“Is there more than one thing preventing clear communication? If so, what are they?”
“Am I perceiving this situation correctly and truthfully?”
4. Divine Protection ~ Recalibrate your energy to adjust to the new generative flow of life force based on the Air element. As you gaze at the symbol, allow your breathing to become lighter and easier. This chi’ moves quicker and you don’t need to work as hard as you used to in order to accomplish something. Imagine you can use this symbol as a filter for interacting with your chosen Helper more effectively.
“I am open and clear to utilize generative life force.”
Bring your awareness to the center black circle. What do you think is blocking open communication? Whatever comes to you, write it down because that phrase or idea has important information that could help you understand more about what you need to do to help yourself.
Once you’ve done that, look at the Circle and ask your heart:
“How would my life be better if I were friends with the ________ Helper I have chosen?”
Again, write your answer down.
The Importance of Soul Contracts
5. Raccoon #11 ~ Raccoon is the primary animal totem that handles Soul Contracts which are agreements you’ve made on a Soul level to help you experience who you are more deeply. When you have completed the karma of a particular experience, you can move on to other experiences. However, your nervous system will keep repeating the feedback loop for that karma until you have consciously released the contract and integrated the lesson into your consciousness.
Raccoon Medicine bypasses your critical mind and goes directly into the nervous system to release completed contracts. As you look at Raccoon’s Circle, relax into your spine. Go through this list of potential agreements that might get in the way of truthful communication and genuine help:
A. “I release all agreements, contracts, allegiances, obligations or vows that prevent me from communicating clearly with my Higher Self and receiving help.”
B. “I release all agreements, contracts, allegiances, obligations or vows that prevent me from communicating clearly and receiving help from the true spirit of the __________ Helper.”
C. “I release all agreements to put up with disorder, lies, deception, hostility or _____________.”
D. “I release all agreements, contracts, allegiances, obligations or vows that prevent me from benefiting from and utilizing the medicine of the _________ Helper.”
Releasing contracts and agreements of this kind significantly loosens the grip that the ego has on your mind, body and spirit. Energy can begin to move differently for you now and negative patterns are more easily changed to benefit you.
Clear your energy of entanglements and destructive toxins:
Continue breathing while you use this Soul Star Detachment Key to relax and mend any energetic wounds that are associated with negative attachments or toxins.
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 and detach from interfering energies.”
Relax and sense your overall energy. If it feels stuck or sluggish, stay with the Key until the energy lets go and smooths out.
Congratulations! Going through the first section of this game has helped you to release attitudes, behaviors and beliefs that are getting in the way of good guidance that comes through your Soul. When you are ready, go through Section Two below, where you will reconnect with essential components of your personal power and effectively redirect your energy and attention towards positive and life affirming ways of being.
Section Two – Open Your Heart to Receive True Help and Guidance
This part of the game uses charts from Soul Prayer Charts, the companion piece to Gifts from the Rainforest.
Use Soul Prayer Chart #13 for Divine Connection to help you.
“My Heart is open. My Soul is in charge and I am empowered to connect through joy and gratitude to this Helper.”
“I ask for and receive help from the
___________ Helper and its medicine.”
“I am empowered to co-create a New Paradigm –
based on common ground for the common good.”
Smooth Out Your Energy: You might be experiencing difficulty adjusting to all the significant environmental changes that are ongoing. Sudden reversals, blockages and changes in momentum can cause your subtle energy fields to react in unusual ways.
As you look at this Soul Star Correction Key, do you notice any rough glitches or reversed energies going on? If so, relax with it for a few minutes until things smooth out.
“Jagged, disjointed glitches in my sensory system are being repaired.”
“All shut downs and reversals are gently corrected.”
Continue crossing and uncrossing over the midline of your body until you can feel the unique energy of your Soul coming through.
Set Things Right: If needed, use the To Each Their Own symbol which will help you sort out emotions, karma and other issues that don’t belong with you and reclaim the things that do.
As you look at the chart, first visualize sending back other people’s issues and energies that may have attached to you for any reason. Return them to where ever they belong – through the Light – thus “setting things right.” Be sure to do that freely, with a sense of forgiveness.
“I send issues, emotions, karma and energies
to wherever they need to go to heal.”
Once you’ve returned what needs to be returned, relax and let the symbol help you reclaim whatever belongs with you, for example, your own gifts, talents or karma and intentions. Ask your Soul to position them correctly so they can either be cleared or utilized to benefit you.
“I reclaim my own issues, energies and karma
so that I may handle them in accordance with my highest good.”
Dissolve Destructive Blueprints: Now it’s time to dissolve mental and emotional patterns that keep you at odds with yourself and your new friend. Use this symbol for dissolving destructive blueprints to identify and disperse any harmful personal, societal or familial patterns that have come up in this process. See them disappear like old cloud banks dissolving into pure sunlight:
“I release into the Light all destructive patterns that keep me from reuniting with Nature.”
“I dissolve all pathways that keep me connected to harmful patterns.
I surrender them to the Light completely – and with Forgiveness.”
Please note: Never send destructive energies into the Earth, she already has too much to handle now. Use the Earth for planting seeds of health, happiness and life – not illness, unhappiness and death!
Closure and Completion: Once the patterns are cleared, give your heart and Soul some relief through closure.
“All doors that lead back to guilt, blame, abuse and suffering are sealed and healed. I follow the direction of my Soul’s intention.”
Finish by closing down any harmful energy drains from the past. An energy drain could be anything – a false belief, an outdated plan or some kind of individual or collective behavior that drains your life force. Use Fly Medicine to visualize the drain(s) deconstructing and closing down.
“I deconstruct old behaviors and shut down any drains to my energy.”
Once they are closed down, use the Circle to find where the voids are and fill them with loving, life affirming energy!
“I fill in the leftover void with healthy, life affirming energy.”
Excellent! When you open your heart and reunite with Nature, you are accessing communication with your Soul that offers profound truth and transformation.
Access Generative Flow: Now is a good time to confirm that you’ve closed down old energy and communication channels from the malaise left over from the Piscean Age. Gaze softly at Divine Protection and allow it to help you get centered. Then, when you’re ready, bring your attention back into your Heart Center and let it integrate.
“I surrender to the help and protection of my Inner Guidance.”
“My Heart and mind is open to receive generative life force.”
“I connect to the new communication channels available in the Aquarian Age.”
Keep breathing with the awareness that this new chi’ is much lighter and quicker than what we were used to in the Piscean Age. It will take some time to adjust!
Ground in the New Paradigm: Once you feel your energy has stabilized, ask about your relationship to the map for common good and common ground in the New Paradigm.
Are you gaining familiarity with this new template?
- Does your Soul approve of what this map can open up for you?
- Is there a place for you there and a path for you to move forward in a positive way?
- Do you have a working agreement with this Helper for creating common ground for the Common good?
- How do the Helpers feel about their relationship with you now?
Do you have other, related questions you would like to ask? Go ahead and ask them. Place your feet on the floor again and get grounded.
Finish the Game with Your New Friend ~
Now you can test how well this game has opened up your relationship with your Helper. Go to the Helper that you chose and think about the issue or problem that you wrote down at the beginning of the game. Come up with a simple question, like:
“How has my perception changed?”
or
“How can we work together to create the common good?”
Look at the Circle for your Helper and ask it. What answer(s) do you get? Write them down and follow through if needed.
Tips for asking the totems questions and receiving guidance:
• Keep your questions simple and about one thing at a time.
• If you don’t get an answer, it may mean that your mind is fixated on a person, an event or something from the past. Mental fixations usually happen because of some kind of emotional or spiritual trauma. If that happens, go to Condor #32, and let its medicine help you to release the fixation. You will know the fixation is cleared when you can come up with an answer to your question.
• Once you have an answer to your first question, do you have other, related questions you can ask? Go ahead and ask them.
• Once you’ve finished, put the book aside. Now is a good time to rest, get out into nature, take a walk or otherwise refresh yourself. Allow the answer to percolate while you’re doing something else.
• For optimum results, go through both sections of this game with Old Sol #49 first, because your relationship with your Higher Self is of primary importance. After that, play the game for Animal Spirits #1 and Plant Spirits #36.
• After playing the game, spend the next week or so asking for guidance and help from the totem on a regular basis.
• If you are a practitioner and are planning to use Gifts from the Rainforest with others, ask questions about how you can use the totem’s medicine to help your clients and what will help you to be more receptive to its guidance.
• If you are a teacher, counselor or in a position to guide others, ask your Higher Self, through Old Sol #49 for protection, help and guidance. Ask for a symbol or sign that affirms you are on the right track.
Congratulations! If you are sincere in your requests and willing to follow through on the guidance you’re given, be prepared for increased dream activity, creative inspiration and opportunities for manifesting the common good!

Adapting to Success – Move Beyond Limitations
Are You Having Trouble Adapting to Success Because of Old Conditioning from Your Past?
You might be able to clear limitations faster and simpler than you think!
Kuan Yin has been helping us through these Transformation Games to transition from the old paradigm based on greed and fear to a New Paradigm of equality, peaceful co-operation and balanced prosperity. This game, “Adapting to Success” springs from the I Ching, an ancient book of divination that follows the flow of the cosmos. Because of that, her advice and instruction comes from a different perspective than ours.
Kuan Yin’s Transformation Games can help you to identify problems, change your focus to positive solutions, ground yourself and get in the present. Simply relax and gaze at the Circles while contemplating Kuan Yins words. Your intuition will come forward and give you the help that you seek.
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.
Feel free to move at any time in any way to help you embody your experience!
Welcome to the I Ching Reading and Transformation Game for Hexagram # 17: Adapting to Success
“If you sincerely insist upon the very best, the chances are that you will get it. Set your sights high. Good fortune.” ~ The I Ching Workbook, R.L. Wing
Experiences from your past or family of origin have shaped your imagination and fostered limiting beliefs about what is possible.
If you look around you right now, you may realize that most everything you see has been influenced by the tastes and tendencies that began in your childhood.
In your adult life, you will need to expand your imagination to find a new way to create the happiness you desire.
Check In: Are You Tuning Into the Kind of Emotional Energy That Will Take You Where You Really Want to Go?
Sometimes people have been conditioned so deeply to be afraid or negative, they aren’t really sure what to do when things are going well. The way you view yourself and what you think you’re capable of is colored by habitual behaviors learned in early love relationships as well as childhood experiences. You may simply be dealing with an old program or you could be struggling with more serious entanglements with hatred and other destructive tendencies.
Regardless of how it came to be, there is a simple way to change the emotional energy you’re tapping into using these Intuitive Learning Circles with your imagination!
Step One: Adapting to Success Begins with Awareness
Think about how things were communicated to you when you were little. Use this symbol to help you tap into the problem so that you can clear it out. Ask yourself:
“Is there a pattern of unhappiness or dysfunction that’s coming to the surface for me now? If so, is it related to family, society, career, religious upbringing or an old relationship?
The fact that it’s coming up could mean that you’re ready to ADAPT to a healthier mindset and REFORM how you’re doing things. Is that the case here? If you’re not ready, are you willing to respect your healing process and step back?
Step Two: Examine Fixated Thoughts and Beliefs
Memories from the past can often bring up a lot of confusing and conflicting information. That’s important because what you believe about life, you awaken around you. Let this symbol for clearing out shock and fixations help you sort things out a little. Relax and gaze softly at the symbol while you breath deeply both crossed and uncrossed over the midline of your body. Once the energy around the symbol calms down, you will find that you’ve calmed down as well!
Step Three: Slow Down and Clarify What Success Means For You Now
Even if you aren’t ready to clear the energy, you may be able to use your awareness in some other way to benefit you. For example, do you need to protect yourself in some way? Do you need a boost of self-confidence? Would it be good to take a few breaths and slow down? Would some movement be helpful? Gaze at the Circle from Tree Sloth with soft eyes and ask yourself:
“What does adapting to success mean to me in this situation?”
Notice how you’re reacting to that question, then continue your inquiry.
“What’s really important here? What will help me?
Am I just getting sucked into an old habit?”
Make notes. Your responses are important.
Step Four: Access Your Inner Wisdom
Empower yourself to follow your own advice. Let this Circle for Old Sol help you come up with the very best scenario that you can imagine.
“What is the very best thing I could ask for?”
Step Five: Recalibrate Your Energy for Empowerment
Let this symbol help you connect deeply with your heart center. While you contemplate it, affirm that you exist and that your spirit can empower your highest good.
Step Six: Clarify What Would Genuinely Be Helpful
In the New Paradigm, we are coming to the realization that many things we used to think of as “helpful” actually were not or would not be now. Use Mermaid Medicine to help you sort through any watery emotional confusion about what is actually needed. Ask this question for more clarification:
“How can I genuinely be of service to myself and others in this situation?”
Step Seven: Activate Your Heart Center
Tune into the wisdom of your heart. It will let you know whether you’re on track or not. When you’re ready, write down your intention or request, stated in the affirmative, in present tense and in your own words. Keep it simple and easy to remember…
Take all the time you need to really let those words resonate with your heart center.
Keep playing with it until it feels right and aligned.
Step Eight: Detach and Heal Old Patterns from the Past
Give yourself a moment to imagine a loving coat of peace and comfort is pouring down over you. This medicine is like a healing balm that melts away attachments to the past and mends all wounds.
Be sure to imagine that both crossed and uncrossed.
Step Nine: Raise Your Energy
Use the lighter, quicker generative life force of the New Paradigm to help you process your emotions and bring your request into being.
“I close down heavy, harmful energy channels from the Status Quo.”
“I am open and clear to utilize generative life force.”
“I adapt to the positive flow of chi’ available in the New Paradigm
to the best of my ability.”
“I connect to the new, life affirming channels of communication.”
Step Ten: Seal Energy Drains
Make sure your physical energy isn’t getting drained or that you aren’t getting sucked into a toxic habit or pattern from the past. Close down harmful habits and energy drains:
“I deconstruct old habits and close down toxic energy drains.”
“I shut them down completely.”
Once they’re closed down, use Fly to find where the voids are and fill them with loving, life affirming energy!
“I fill in the leftover void with healthy, life affirming energy.”
Note: If you’re a Reiki practitioner, this is a great time to beam Distant Healing into the Circle!
Step Eleven: Balance Your Perception
Relax some more and consciously bring your senses into balance. You don’t have to keep going back to any old, uncomfortable places any more. You are in the here and now.
Affirm to yourself:
“My senses are balanced.”
“My emotions are calm.”
“I’m perceiving my intention clearly, accurately and honestly.”
Then, imagine your intention as you requested it. See it, hear it, taste it, smell it and feel it as specifically as you can.
Step Twelve:
If you’re having trouble imagining anything or your mind is going blank, you have probably accessed an inner conflict. Gaze softly at this Circle, relax and let the lines get all wavey.
“I release all the conflicts I have around this.”
Continue to breathe while you gently release the conflict(s). Once the energy calms down, you will either know what you want or know what to do to help you get there.
What is the best thing to do next?
For example, you could go back to Step Four* and ask the question again until your request becomes clear or you could Retrain Your Mind To Go for Joy.
Congratulations! You now know what the pattern is and how you would like it to change. This is an important first step in the process of ADAPTING to success.”
If you are a Level Three student, there are several other steps you could take that would really improve how you handle success and empower your transition to the New Paradigm.
