A New Perspective on Soul Healing from an Old Soul.
The Hermit #IX is an important Guide for Soul Healing in 2025 ~
The Hermit is the Major Arcana Card #IX. The number 9 is about completion – the completion of a cycle or many cycles. The neutral color of his robes suggests the ability to neutralize the opposites or extremes of black and white, right and wrong, male and female.
For this exercise, The Hermit is helping us to shine a light on our anxieties and how our connection with our Souls can bring PROGRESS and healing.
His guidance for Soul Healing when you’re feeling anxious is part of the SOS series of self-care formulas and mind exercises in RESOLVE -Staying True and Following Through in Difficult Times.
Soul Healing for Anxiety
Use Soul Healing when you’re feeling anxious and uncertain because you:
- Feel anxious about an important decision
- Want to expand your awareness
- Have doubts about how to proceed
- Are confused in a chaotic situation
- Are experiencing a creative block
- Feel you’re being pulled in conflicting directions
- Desire clearer guidance from your Soul.
When a person is feeling uncertain about the best thing to do, it can significantly raise the level of anxiety they’re experiencing. Getting relief can sometimes be as simple as being open to a different perception about what’s going on. When one consciously calls upon their inner wisdom and aligns their instincts with intuition, amazing insights can emerge.
If you’re getting nervous about a delicate situation or feel that you may not be seeing it correctly, explore how you can reorient yourself and open up to new ideas with Soul Healing.
Set aside about twenty to thirty minutes. Go through each step by reading its directions and then gazing at the Circle that goes with it for approximately two minutes. A longer or shorter time may be necessary. Let yourself breathe and relax as much as possible. Don’t worry if the images move around or change in any way. That just means the Circles are working.
Your emotional state might change as well. That also means the Circles are working. Just keep breathing and let the energy move. Once it calms down you’ll be ready to continue to the next Circle.
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.
Feel free to move at any time in any way to help you release tension and embody your experience!
After you’ve gone through the exercise, consider taking a brisk walk or exercising to help you discharge excess energy.
When you’re ready, see if you can take action on some of the ideas that come to mind.
Soul Healing for Clarity and Wholeness
1. Let’s start by setting an intention to protect yourself in this situation. Take a few moments with Jaguar Medicine to imagine yourself safely surrounded by a sphere of strength and courage.
You are protected and able to take care of yourself.
2. Old Sol will help you to connect with your inner wisdom and Soul guidance. Let it help you get to the source of what’s happening and how you might increase your awareness.
Relax and breathe deeply.
What is the core of your issue?
What other information do you get?
If your mind has gone blank and you don’t get any ideas, go directly to the next Circle.
3. You may feel a lot of conflict over this issue or you might even have experienced a shock that blocks your ability to perceive things clearly. Take several deep breaths and relax while you gaze softly at Condor Medicine to release shock and inner conflict.
“I relax and allow any tension or blockages to melt away.”
Once you have a sense that your mind has found a blockage, imagine that the lines going in towards the center are relaxing, like cooked spaghetti noodles.
Keep relaxing with other blockages or conflicts and do the same with them.
4. Bring your senses into balance by gazing softly at this Reiki Chakra Key that accesses your Rational Senses.
Imagine you can clear the pipes for seeing, hearing, feeling, tasting and smelling the things that are in your immediate surroundings.
“I connect with my senses and bring them into balance.”
“I clear them so I can feel calmer and aware of what’s important.”
“I use my senses to be more aware of where I am and what I’m doing.”
“I turn my attention to actions that are genuinely helpful and productive.”
5. There may be some especially sticky energies that don’t seem to want to let go. Let this Soul Star Detachment Key help you neutralize interfering energies and detach from them.
Like a healing balm, imagine that a loving coat of peace and comfort is pouring down over you.
“I easily and effectively detach from harmful, sticky energies.”
Feel free to return to this chart at any point during this exercise.
6. You might also be having a difficult time adjusting to all the significant environmental changes that are taking place. Sudden changes can cause the 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?
Relax with it for a few minutes until things smooth out and you can begin to sense the energy of your Soul coming through.
Repair any jagged or disjointed glitches in your sensory system.
7. Elevated emotions are often caused by distressing experiences that knock the senses out of balance.
When you’re relaxed, your senses can balance out and create a more harmonious state of mind. This softer, lighter way of being has a way of untangling problems and stress.
Use this simple affirmation with River Medicine to help you slow down in a way that helps you to reduce feelings of anxiety and overwhelm.
“My mind is calm and relaxed – like a boat floating on the water.”
8. The familiar vibration of your Soul is definitely a big help to evaluating things clearly. Stay relaxed and let your mind drift to 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 make the feeling or color stronger and it feels comfortable, you’ve found your Soul’s unique vibration.
Operating out of your own vibration has the power to transform chaos and confusion into opportunities to create health, harmony and happiness.
9. Take a few moments to clarify your intention through the Fifth Chakra, also known as your Third Eye. Focus inwardly on what’s most important for you. Remember to keep breathing!
If you direct the energy in towards the center open space of the Key, you can bring your true intentions more fully into the center of your conscious awareness.
You might be surprised at how distracted you’ve been.
10. Clear perception using Soul guidance is an internal communication. Focus in on your heart center and wait for the energy get connected and balanced.
Again, it initially helps to direct your attention in towards the center open space of the Chakra Key.
Once you’ve found the connection, breathe and relax. Allow the energy to shift and open. Eventually you’ll be able to sense your Soul energy expanding and radiating out.
It may take a minute or two to connect with your inner Light.
Take a few minutes to help the energy clear even more with this Soul Star for the Heart Chakra. Breathe and relax until you sense positive energy radiating out.
11. Make sure you’re centered and balanced in your solar plexus as well (your solar plexus is that soft area in the front where your ribs go up).
When the Third Chakra gets clogged up, your sense of Self can suffer. Clearing it out boosts self-confidence and cheerfulness.
“My Solar Plexus Chakra is open and balanced.”
The correction is made when you can palpably feel more present and calm in that area.
There could be a lot of old, even non-existent connections there that need to be expelled to facilitate soul healing.
If the energy around your solar plexus feels stuck or heavy, use this Soul Star Key to help you gently clear them out.
“I release and clear out toxins that are interfering with my clarity.”
12. Whenever working with chakras, you may need to repair and/or strengthen their hara lines for improved communication and healing. Let Starlight Medicine help you visualize your chakras connecting through a golden web of light, powered by the vibration of your Soul.
I gather my consciousness and refocus on the truth that lives in my center.
Your energy is now reconnected and aligned with the central, spiritual source of your being which, in this method, is called the Central Plexus.
13. Continue with this symbol for Divine Protection to close unhealthy or destructive energy channels between you and all the chaos that’s been making you anxious.
Stay with it until you feel even more centered and protected with beneficial energy flowing through you.
Once you’ve got that, you’re ready to access life affirming channels of communication. Visualize all the lines coming together into the center wheel of this symbol.
Do that both crossed and uncrossed until it feels complete.
14. Now you can reunite with your essential instincts, gifts, talents, connections and relationship with the natural world.
If you’re open to it, include your power animal, animal guides, plant helpers and nature spirits.
Ask Dragonfly Medicine to help you see your situation truthfully, from your Soul’s perspective.
Knowing how to access, trust and utilize your natural instincts and self healing abilities is a large part of what needs to happen when navigating confusing situations.
“I organize my Essential Nature in accordance with my highest good.”
“I feel calm, settled and grounded.”
15. Sometimes, things that could be joyful become twisted and out of whack because we’ve over-complicated them. If that’s been happening in this situation, see if you can use Hummingbird Medicine to visualize any twisted or perverse ideas gently unfolding and unwinding.
“I unwind the ideas I hold in my mind.”
Once the strings have relaxed and unwound, pull back and ask your Soul to help you find a simple and joyful response that would be of genuine service to you. Would it be helpful to others as well?
Make a note of what comes to you for future inspiration.
16. Finish with Snake Medicine by allowing it to help you shed old ideas, integrate your new perspective and transform how you’re utilizing your core energy.
You’re ready to ask yourself with greater awareness:
“What is the truth about me and my situation? What do I need to do?”
The answers you get now will help you free yourself of the indecision and confusion that’s been at the core of your anxiety. Your personal power is strengthened and reinforced so you can move forward with greater confidence.
Congratulations!
Go through this exercise as often as you need to – especially at the beginning. That way you’ll set a template for Soul Healing for Anxiety and make a habit of being centered and balanced in the New Paradigm.
