Transformation Game: Freedom from Herd Mentality
Emotional Entanglements are the Basis of Collective Attitudes or Herd Mentality
Group think or herd mentality is basically a situation where a lot of people are attached to each other through conflict-based emotions, beliefs, agendas and attitudes that cause suffering. There’s a lot of that going around – everywhere! But what if you don’t want to share in that way anymore? What if you prefer to connect with others through Love, Acceptance or Compassion?
Let’s work with this through your own example. Your awareness can be used to enhance your mind/body healing.
Notice the negative herd mentality that has your attention now.
Tap into your heart and bring to mind a negative personal situation that’s been causing irritation, anxiety or conflict within you. It could be about you or someone else. Notice how that situation tugs at your heart.
Herd Mentality is a group frequency.
In this moment, there’s probably some form of group communication that’s contributing to the irritation, conflict or even sadness within you. It could be an attitude, an agenda or a distressing belief.
Think of this herd mentality like a radio channel that you’re subconsciously tuning into. There could be one or there could be many.
For the moment, don’t try to fight it or get away from it.
Don’t beat yourself up about it. Just gently observe the quality of it.
The first step towards Peace is acceptance of what is.
The Third Eye can easily tap into herd mentalities.
Is your Third Eye tapping into the disturbing frequencies you’re feeling or something else?
Can you tell what’s stressing you out about this situation?
It can help to “name” the entanglement or herd mentality.
Slow down and see the situation more clearly. Use this Circle to help you slow everything down, just like the slo-mo camera effect in a televised sports event.
What name would you give this mentality?
What do you make up that it wants? What emotion is fueling this mentality?
What does it bring up in you? What do you make of the situation?
Are there any agreements or obligations that chain you to this mentality?
If so, imagine that you can gently unlock them, starting at the bottom of your spine and moving all the way up to the back of your head.
In most situations, the best thing you can do is to gently detach your energy from the herd mentality.
In the old paradigm, many healing modalities “cut the cords.” However, in the New Paradigm, this is another expression of forcing or “making it happen.” A sharp, cutting action like that doesn’t resolve the underlying suffering. It merely offers relief by cutting off the pain or conflict temporarily, only for it to return again another day.
I like to use a softer approach, taught to me by through Reiki guidance. Use this Soul Star Detachment Chart to relax and mend any wounds within yourself and your own energy field that are associated with this entanglement. Like a healing balm, imagine that a loving coat of peace and comfort is pouring down over you – especially your heart center.
“I neutralize and detach from any entanglements that are harmful to me.”
Attachments and conflicts are melting away. The poison is being drawn out and released to the Light. Relax. Breathe. Take your time and move around if you need to.
Next, clear up the intention behind the mental and/or spiritual entanglement.
You will want to address any confusion the herd mentality is causing you. Imagine you can softly gaze into the center of this Circle, Mapacho Medicine, and see ancient intentions like eggs or seeds.
Not only do you see your own intentions and prayers, but also the intentions held by the group entanglement. You can even sense the cultural, ancestral goals that are perpetuating the confusion and devision in your heart.
Visualize them like ingredients in a soup that’s interfering with your life. Scoop out any life destructive intentions and send them to the Light. You don’t have to let them run you anymore!
“I remove or reform any out of date intentions that are harmful to me.”
“I release harmful intentions from others.”
“I intend that all destructive energies and intentions be sent to the Light and purified.”
Become aware of harmful projections and deal with them.
There may be multiple projections or delusions coming from multiple groups. One way to deal with them is by using this Circle to visualize them all “popping” like bubbles until you’ve cleared your mind scape of them.
Now you can close down the energy channels that the herd mentality has been using to get to you.
Use these positive affirmations to help you:
“Harmful energy channels from the past are closing down. I have protection.”
Once they feel closed, imagine you can connect into the center of this symbol to improve your communication with life, Love and happiness!
“I access life affirming energy and connect with truthful channels of communication.”
Put your new awareness together to make the proper connections with this Circle.
Starlight intuitively fills our hearts with hope and inspiration. We are not alone and miracles are possible.
“I create a new, life affirming intention from my Soul and follow that instead. My new intention is to _______________”
Now, dissolve the underlying destructive blueprints of conflict and herd mentality.
These conflicts could be ancestral, societal, racial or sexual biases. They could involve grudges, curses, vows for revenge, etc. After all, resentment and confusion can be internalized and externalized in a thousand ways!
You can dissolve them all now and send any heaviness to the Light.*
*Never send negative energy and emotions to other people or down into the ground. Mother Earth doesn’t want to hold those seeds anymore! She’s busy making the changes she needs for the next stages of life on this planet.
When we send destructive energy up to the Light, it can be transformed and set right.
In addition, your mind can be more at peace, knowing that you’re no longer projecting harmful energy onto others – which matters! Like a dark cloud, your ability to forgive is lifting the heaviness up and off of you.
To completely release entanglements, collapse the underground tunnels they move through.
We can communicate in other, more helpful ways. Use the symbol below to collapse any energy drains or sewage lines that lead to or from the groupthink conflicts, grudges and curses. You don’t need or want them anymore.
Close the door on suffering and harmful entanglements.
Imagine that your spirit can turn you towards the direction of your highest good and close the door completely on all that group think and herd mentality.
“All harmful pathways are sealed and healed.”
I follow the direction of my Soul’s protection.”
Once you’re clear that you’re heading in the right direction, you have successfully disengaged from the herd mentality.
Deconstruct harmful habits and close those energy drains.
Make sure you don’t get sucked back into a toxic habit or pattern from the past! Close down any energy drains that may have come open during this process.
“I deconstruct old habits and shut down any drains to my energy.”
“I fill in the leftover void with healthy, life affirming energy.”
Once you have finished that, tune back into your Heart Center.
This Reiki Chakra Key helps you to reconnect so you can access Compassion for yourself and others. Relax and breathe deeply again. With this new awareness, you can connect with your Soul and communicate with the best of who you are.
Imagine new connections gently taking form. Remember not to force it! A true heart connection happens from the inside. No one else can do this for you.
Radiate your heart energy.
Eventually, if you’re patient and open, you can feel a light begin to radiate out, extending a sense of gratitude coming through from your deepest, wisest Self.
“My Heart is at peace and the interference is released.”
Congratulations! Now that you’ve taken the time to stop, listen and connect with your heart, you can feel the truth:
Forcing things doesn’t work in the long run. “Making it happen” through herd mentality or trying to avoid the truth causes more pain and pulls the joy and respect out of our relationships, especially the ones we have with ourselves. The need to make things be the way we want them to be is actually the source of our suffering and attachments. These attachments hold us back, boomerang around and give us a big kick in the behind!
Our problems cannot be solved from the same mental position they were created from. A transformation of consciousness is required to get from where we are to where we want to be. Obviously, no one can do that for us. We can get good help, but ultimately, we have to make the shift ourselves.
This is an excellent time to get up and go for a walk, preferably out in nature if you can.
