Adjust the Volume On Your Senses with River Medicine
Self-care and Personal Growth through Gifts from the Rainforest:
48. River – River Medicine beckons us to calm down and flow with the river of life. When we allow this experience, we can hear the truth of the heart and Soul more clearly.
Are your senses out of balance?
Are you feeling reactive or hypersensitive?
Have you been knocked out of balance by a sudden change or shock?
Healing Action: Relax and adjust the volume on your senses. Get calm. Clear up distortions or wishful thinking to help you reconnect with the flow of life around you.
River Sings a Lullaby
Intuition and common sense are determined
by a balance between all of the senses,
both known and unknown.
Let the calm of the river
quiet your body, mind, and Soul.
Breathe deeply and allow homeostasis to occur.
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 River Medicine:
River medicine is showing up to let you know that something’s not right with how you’re seeing things and experiencing the flow of life. Are you being driven by unconscious fears or attitudes in the current situation? Are you spending too much time with technology?
The noise that comes from a dissatisfied ego could be preventing you from seeing a solution to your dilemma. The best way to change your circumstances is through learning how to respond to them differently. Don’t react; respond by cultivating inner peace and patience with yourself.
River Medicine
One way to do that is to gaze softly at the Circle and imagine that you’re floating on a calm, benevolent body of water. Take the time to breathe deeply. Once you feel calmer, you’re ready to open your senses to new solutions and gifts.
If you lose your bearings, come back to this place of calm and balance yourself again. Learning to do so regularly will help you to accept the paradoxes in your life so that you can be more open to common sense and new inspiration.
Or
Elevated emotions are often caused by shocking experiences that knock the senses out of balance. Have you experienced such a jarring event? When that happens, you could get sucked into a panic or overtaken by fantasies and wishful thinking. It’s important for you to calm down and change the flow you’re traveling on before you do some damage. Pull your senses back into “Now” by tuning into your breath and heart beat.
If you’re having difficulty making a decision, don’t rush yourself. Breathe. Ask from a quieter place and the answer will more easily be found.
Or
You may be in a situation where it would be beneficial for you to take a chance. Nevertheless, it’s wise to calm yourself first and make sure that you’re perceiving things clearly. Look at the Circle and ask your heart: “Am I seeing things the way they really are?” You may not have a clear perception of where you are or what is truly going on.
Slow down and get back into the flow by asking the calm of the River, “What am I proposing to do?” Then, follow up with, “If I follow the course of that action, what’s most likely to happen?”
Continue your inquiry. “Is that in my best interests? Is there something that would work better?”
Follow the flow of cause and effect. You will find that clear and calm perception significantly enhances your happiness and chances for success.

“You have experienced a serious shock that prevents you from having balance around this situation. Consequently, you are affected in ways that you don’t even know and growth is stunted on account of it…
If you are in a rut, frozen with fear, or stuck in the past, it’s time for a breakthrough. Liberate yourself. Create new horizons of courage and acceptance.” ~ Gifts from the Rainforest by Rheanni Lightwater

What Process Is Best for Me – Right Now?
Many of you have asked, “There’s so many Games and Exercises here in the Intuitive Learning Circle – how do I know which one is right for me?
Since we’re here to help you develop your intuition, it’s only natural that we would come up with a simple & fun way to decide – using your intuition!
First of all, it’s true that we have quite a few self-healing offerings, so below you’ll find a list of games that pertain to the Soaring Spirit of the Condor.
Condor Medicine
There are 5 categories to choose from ~
I: Cosmos II: Family III: Environment IV: Livelihood and V: Self
Each category has a selection of games listed underneath which are numbered 1, 2 and 3.
The first step is to take a moment and think about what’s going on for you and then look at Condor Medicine and ask your heart:
“What category would be most useful for me to look at now?”
Once you have the category number, ask yourself: “Which number in that category represents the best self healing process for me right now – or is the best place to start?”
Remember to take the very first number that comes to you, because that is your Inner Wisdom speaking or your intuition. If more than one number comes up, write them all down in the order they came to you.
Once you have your number, scroll down the list and check out that process. You might be surprised at what you chose, because intuition doesn’t always makes sense at first. However, I suggest that you trust your first response and explore the exercise anyway. See if it pertains to your situation and feels right.
This is the intuitive way to determine which exercise is best for you right now!
Suggestion: Early on in your journey with Condor, go through Open Your Heart and Make Friends to develop a truly co-operative relationship!

Activate Courage and Determination with Jaguar Medicine ~
Self-care and Personal Growth through Gifts from the Rainforest:

for the higher good.

Further Exploration into Jaguar Medicine:
Jaguar Medicine
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 about you. This is courage that is required on every level of your being, and it comes from the heart.
When the small mind gets fierce and determined, it fosters stinginess, disdain and a rebellious attitude. It uses courage to defend small minded agendas like prejudice, self-righteousness and “being right.” Jaguar wants to know, is this kind of behavior really in your best interest? What would happen if you had the courage to be more open-hearted?
Having courage to face the truth is one of the most important things we can develop in ourselves. A mind without courage cannot expand and learn new ways of being.
Choose now to be free of the past. Devote yourself to the care of your dreams. Be one with the intention of your Soul and strengthen the connection between your heart’s desire and your higher good. This is not a braggadocio show of power. In fact, you may need to go under cover to achieve your aim. Reclaim your personal power by following the truth of your being.
Or
It could be that your ego or someone else is telling you what you ought to be doing and there’s a hidden agenda that’s causing conflict. As you look at the Circle, ask your heart: “Is there a conflict here, and if so, what is it really about?” Let your inner strength answer.
Follow up by asking, “How can I regain my integrity without causing further harm?”
Then ask: “Where has my loyalty been in this situation?” If you are not being loyal to yourself, your power has been co-opted and you cannot be working for your higher good.
Finally, ask: “How can I regain my power?”
Follow your own advice and take care of yourself. If damage has been done, clean up your part and get back in the flow.
Courage is about knowing and standing behind your truth. You don’t need permission to be true to yourself. Use Jaguar’s Circle to help you remember a time when you had the courage to face the truth and do what needed to be done. Once you find that experience, relax and let your body remember what it feels like.

In this intuitive reading, Soul Resources offers a variety of SOS formulas and Transformation Games using the Intuitive Learning Circles and the I Ching to help us navigate contradiction and build a better foundation for the world based on Common Ground for the Common Good.
The I Ching
The original intent of the I Ching was based on an Eastern philosophy of observation and marking changes in natural and human events. Through many centuries and contributions from shamans and master teachers, including Lau Tzu and Confucius, the Book of Change was developed into a full philosophy for applying beneficial human conduct to varying circumstances. The Art of Feng Shui is part of that philosophy. We use The I Ching Workbook, by R.L. Wing, Random House, NYC, NY, 1979 as our preferred translation.
Understanding the Larger Picture ~
Throughout much of late spring and summer, the I Ching energy flow for the United States was in a general state of DANGER, Hexagram #29. Then, on July 21st, the full moon ushered in a surprisingly active flow pattern of CHANGING (Hexagram #49) that opened up a series of unexpected opportunities and positive energy to make significant advances towards freedom.
Then, the flow of CHANGING switched to the flow of #39 OBSTACLES. As a part of this path that was chosen, we have been challenged by a massive wave of collective karma that needed to be met with optimism and determination. Thank goodness outlandish onslaughts of lies and destructive thinking have been crushed by the realities facing us.
Now, the flow that transitioned into Hexagram #38 CONTRADICTIONS. The I Ching offers some useful guidance:
The CONTRADICTIONS in your environment are an extreme example of how clinging to the way things used to be creates stalemates, no win situations and extreme instability. Social structures are simultaneously falling apart and being built, yet the foundations for new growth and healthier relationships are still cluttered with the wreckage left behind by an old paradigm based on greed and revenge.
The I Ching: Navigate CONTRADICTION.
To navigate the CONTRADICTIONS that are swirling all around us will demand extraordinary will power, determination and a strong vision for what you hope to accomplish. By staying focused on the larger, positive intentions for freedom and moving towards the common good, you can do your part to bypass the proliferation of conflicting attitudes and ideas.
“There is a strong sense of CONTRADICTION at work in the current situation. It may be a matter of opposing viewpoints — persons who are working at cross purposes to one another or an inner duality that brings indecision. You must now gain an understanding of these divergent forces and better accord yourself with the times. Great achievements are out of the question, since they cannot come about without complete co-operation and alignment. Only small endeavors and gradual influences will meet with good fortune.
There now exists an atmosphere for misunderstandings or estrangement between men and women. Their inherent polarity is at its peak as they retreat into their own individual natures. Bridging the gap that is now present is a profound moment for significant union… Use small, gentle influences now to bring about this mutual accord.
This is a time when you may meet with the dualism in your own nature. You may appear indecisive or equivocal to others as you weigh contradicting viewpoints. Never before have you been able to see both sides so clearly. Arbitrary predispositions such as patriotism, clannishness, fixed ideas of principle or class prejudice may become less important in your life as you begin to see things in the larger overview. The struggle between good and evil, life and death, and all such opposites may appear to be simply the natural interaction of the great forces in the universe, as you develop the perspective of the sage. This sense of oneness or wholeness in a world of CONTRADICTION can bring you great depth of character and peace of mind.”
~ Hexagram #38 CONTRADICTION, The I Ching Workbook, R.L. Wing
Chinese Horoscope ~
Meeting Obstacles with The Chinese Zodiac
2024 is the Year of the Yang Wood Dragon in the Chinese Zodiac.
The Dragon’s Feng Shui Mandala below can give you a sense of what the archetype of the Dragon is about and how it may influence you. If you’re interested, gently contemplate its center and relax. When you’re ready, ask yourself these questions and journal the answers that come:
“What is the most important thing I can focus my energy and effort on during this time in the Year of the Dragon?”
“What is the direction? Why is that important? How can I utilize the energy of the Dragon to my best advantage? Are there things I’m wasting time on? Something else I need to know? Is there something important for me to do? If so, can I tell what it is and how I would best go about doing it?”
Allow your intuition to come forward and bring guidance from your innermost Self.
Did you know that Vice President Kamala Harris and her running mate, Governor Tim Walz are both DRAGONS – born in 1964. They are both in their Sexegenary Cycle (60 years), which in Chinese Astrology is an important age of completion and coming together of life experiences. What are their combined energies likely to inspire?
Invite the Dragon and his dynamic energy to advise you as you navigate the CONTRADICTIONS that show up on your new path.
A) Any new path can have distractions and dangers that you just cannot see clearly. However Dragon warns, “This is too important a time to get stuck or fall into a hole. Get back in the saddle and stay on your Soul’s journey. If you need extra help, call on my energy and confidence. I have plenty to spare.”
B) Transforming change has given us the opportunity to be motivated by Joy and Freedom, rather than fear and dread. That’s a wonderful thing. However, it’s far too easy for old habits and conditioning to sneak back in and mess things up. Dragon wants to share some important insights about how to prevent Joy from getting hijacked by your own mind! Keep Going For Joy – Rather than Perfection.
C) The current high energy might encourage you to rush or take chances that aren’t in your best interests. Prevent distracting CONTRADICTIONS by staying safe and out of troubles way by using your extra-intuitive senses. Develop Precognition and Stay Out of Trouble.
D) Finally, there may be others who are threatened by your new sense of confidence. If someone is undermining you or trying to throw you off your game, get them out of your space immediately: Ground in the Truth and Your Power.
What Is the I Ching Remedy for Navigating CONTRADICTION?
The Flow of Hexagram #15 MODERATION is the most advantageous flow to follow when navigating CONTRADICTION.
The ancient Chinese text recommends following MODERATION to help you disengage from confusing extremes or opinionated attitudes and instead, follow the guidance that comes from within. That flow might be difficult to find and take some practice to maintain, however, it’s always available.
Kuan Yin has been helping us to follow the middle road and find MODERATION over the last few years with this Transformation Game.
She says, “In almost any situation, if you are able to communicate without resorting to extremes, you will find improvement in whatever you undertake.”
Soul Resources To Navigate Contradiction:
SOS Symbol
As always, Kuan Yin has offered her assistance through a specially chosen collection of Transformation Games, Mind Exercises and Self-care Formulas. During this time she is advising us to pay particular attention to how we’re keeping our boundaries, balance and stability.
She has joined forces with the help of several Plant and Animal Totems from Gifts from the Rainforest and says, “It is much easier to do the right thing when you are in good company. Following good examples will lead you to success.”
Gaze softly at the SOS symbol and ask for a number between 1 – 9.
Scroll down to that number in the list of games and exercises below and check out what that process has to offer you.
It’s not easy to make as many changes as we have over the past few years. However, truly big changes are upon us now! Knowing when and how to shed your skin and change with the changes rather than fighting against them, will make a huge difference in how the next stage of your life will go.
How well are you keeping up with change and are you letting it work for you, rather than against you? There very well could be something you need to change about how you’re dealing with your situation. Play this Transformation Game to help you look at the overall situation and gain a deeper understanding of what’s really needed.
Acquire the courage to change with the Jaguar Guide.
3. Learn to Gracefully Let Go So You Can Move On.
You could be experiencing a situation where there is a great deal of arguments, incompetence or downright refusals to participate in cooperative ventures. Sometimes an environment gets so toxic that it starts to affect your mental or physical health. This game offers some good advice from the I Ching that will help you move on safely.
These are times when there’s just too much group think and outside interference to make a clear decision. Very often, there’s some form of media communication that’s contributing to the noise. Use this Mind Exercise to disentangle from false agendas and destructive attitudes so you can follow your heart back to the truth.
In times of extreme or prolonged stress, remember your mental health! Your memory might start to falter because so many things are changing. Or, you may have gotten disoriented by a sudden loss or relocation. Stabilize with this exercise to get a better idea about what’s happening in your case and what you really need to remember.
2. Resolve Emotional Shock for Better Judgement. Our country is going through a painful disruption and the people around you are likely to be in a panic or full blown crisis. This SOS exercise will help you regain balance so that you can keep your own mind and emotions from getting pulled in the chaos.
With so much going on, staying on top of what you need to do is much easier when you follow direction from your gut instincts. This exercise works incredibly well to help you tune into your inner guidance system – warning you to slow down and get your feet back under you.
Make the decision to consciously pull your attention and energy away from all those problems and redirect them to genuinely helpful solutions that connect you with your Soul.
Being Clear and Direct Will Help Us Navigate CONTRADICTION ~
“Because of a general atmosphere of CONTRADICTION and opposition you may fail to recognize someone who can sincerely help you. This person may reveal himself in spite of the mistrust that clouds your perspective. Working together on current plans will now bring good fortune.” ~ Fifth Changing Line, CONTRADICTION, The I Ching Workbook by R. L. Wing
SOS Self-care Formulas and Mind Exercises can help you stay in balance and hone your true guidance in chaotic times:
6. Develop Clear Perception in a New Reality.After such a stressful election season, it’s easy to feel like you’re heading in the wrong direction or having trouble navigating the new terrain. Go through an exercise that will help you tune into your inner guidance system so you can sort things out.
7. Reinforce Healthy Boundaries. This exercise will help you learn to consciously close off the pathways to negative thoughts or emotions and shift into a more positive mindset.
8. Ground in the Truth and Your Power. If, for any reason, you’re feeling like you’re unsafe or being pressured, this exercise from RESOLVE will help you effectively reject and repel interference.
Chakra Healing and Clearing ~
Recommended Transformation Games and Mind Exercises to Keep You Moving with the Flow, Rather than Against it.
The sheer amount of blocked or stuck energies indicates that we need to find innovative methods for handling radical energy reversals and be conscious about it.
Kuan Yin has helped put together a whole medicine cabinet of Transformation Games and Self-care Formulas that specifically address our chakras and their accompanying psychological challenges. See the full selection and explanation here>

Self-care and Personal Growth through Gifts from the Rainforest:
25. Mermaid – The spirit of mermaid is about compassionate action. Opening the heart to receive divine support and guidance will steer us correctly on the sea of life.
Do you know how to give or receive help in your current situation?
If there’s a problem, what needs to happen?
Healing Action: Stop struggling. Face the truth. If you’re over-extending a helping hand, pull it back. Accept help and support.
The Gift of the Mermaid
For as long as humankind remembers, the ocean
has eluded our control.
Its great mystery has, on one hand
supported, fed, and transported
us to new worlds beyond our imagination.
On the other, it has always held the potential to be
mercilessly devastating in the flash of an instant.
To many who have been “hopelessly lost at sea”
the Mermaid has been reported as a miraculous,
angelic protectress in the form of half woman – half fish.
This personification of compassion carries
in her heart a deep and abiding love
for the humblest of travelers on the sea of life.
Open your heart and let her gift guide you to a safe harbor.
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 the Mermaid Spirit:
Mermaid
Mermaid teaches us how to compassionately ask for, receive and give true help and assistance. In general, cause and effect is the best compass to follow. Gaze into her Circle and ask yourself: “If I choose to _______, what would I be setting into motion? Is that a good idea? What might I do to create something better?”
If you haven’t been getting the help you need, you may have lost your connection with your true Source and are creating a great deal of emotional drama. Perhaps you think that whining about it or acting helpless will relieve you of your responsibility. However, you know in your heart of hearts that behaving in this way will do you no good.
It’s also possible that you only want help from certain people in just the way that you want it, which will also get you into trouble. Ask if you’re blocking attempts from others to assist you. If you are, get out of the way and accept what’s being offered, even if it’s coming from someone you never expected to give you the time of day. Remember that Love finds healing in creative situations and is waiting patiently for you to remember what works in times like this.
On the other hand, you may be indulging in fantasies or wishful thinking. Have you put your faith in a person or situation that would cast you adrift without thinking twice? If so, make a course correction as quickly as you can without making a lot of waves. Re-align yourself with True North to set your ship right again.
If you find yourself in the role of Mermaid yourself, ask, “What can I do in this situation that would actually be helpful?” Pay attention to the effects your actions would have on others. Remember that help without limits becomes enabling. Many a sunken ship started their journey with good intentions that weren’t thought through carefully enough. Often times, the most compassionate thing to do is to simply get out of the way.
Mermaid says what works in times of danger is to calm down, get present, face the truth about what’s actually happening and then go for what’s genuinely needed. Love yourself unconditionally and trust what your gut is telling you.

Activate the Healing Power of Forgiveness with Rainbow Energy
Self-care and Personal Growth through Gifts from the Rainforest:
45. Rainbow Energy – Use the healing power of rainbow energy to cleanse and forgive. Activating our power to forgive will transform our world through the Law of Cause and Effect.
Ask: What are you putting out in your current situation?
Is that what you’d like to receive?
What do you need to understand?
Healing Action: Surrender toxic debts, thoughts and intentions to the Light. Transmit the frequency and vibration of Forgiveness. Allow yourself to receive them in return.
Invoking the Rainbow
Rainbow energy has always cleansed the spirit
and renewed the heart.
In it, all the potential of white energy
is manifested in the natural world.
Use its uplifting power to forgive yourself
and remove impurities from your atmosphere.
If you can forgive yourself, you can forgive others
which breaks the chain of escalating abuse, conflict and violence.
Forgiveness is key to releasing the burden you carry.
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 Rainbow Energy:
The situation is stagnant, heavy and toxic to you in some way. Perhaps you are clinging stubbornly to an idea that poisons your life or relationships. Turn away from isolation and open your heart.
Rainbow Energy
Forgiveness is not about putting up with poor behavior or letting others get away with abuse.
Don’t cling to “being right” or how you’ve been wronged. Keep moving without dwelling on the past and find a different response. Turn away from grievance and open your heart to the possibility of healing.
Making excuses for yourself or your behavior does nothing to rectify the situation either. Just because things didn’t happen the way you wanted them to does not mean that other people are to blame. Yet, blaming yourself is even worse. Whatever happened, the reason for it is much larger than your ego will ever grasp.
Trust that you will be all right. If you are having difficulty forgiving, try giving to others who are in need. Holding onto resentment makes you small. Giving uplifts the Spirit and transforms the heart.
Recognize the beauty and growth that is available, even in difficult situations. There is more to the power of forgiveness than you know.

6. Praying Mantis Medicine – is a master teacher for easily distracted minds. When you can still your thoughts and place your focus 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 spirit 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 that spirit moves 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.

Further Exploration into Praying Mantis Medicine:
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.

or plain in her appearance.
Let her inspire you to stretch
beyond your limits and reach for the stars
while remaining grounded in Mother Earth.
Cut loose from the mundane world.
Your imagination lives outside
the boundaries of space and time.
Use it to look beyond the limits of modern day thinking.
Since time began, humankind has turned eastward toward
the rising sun to remember Soul’s hope every day.
It’s time to expand your vision.
In what ways are you thinking too small?

Flamingo Medicine
You have been suppressing your creativity and your dreams. If you genuinely want to grow your vision, it’s time to be brutally honest with yourself. What do you need to get honest about?
Your imagination could be making things up that are harmful to your stability and well-being. Gaze softly at Flamingo’s Circle and ask your Soul to tell you the truth: “Am I indulging in an illusion? What kind of thinking is keeping me off balance? How can I see things more from the perspective of my Soul?”
Seek out clear, objective assistance from others to help you sort it out. Cultivate your friendships and plant the seeds for new ones. Expand your network of acquaintances. Nurture that creative fire.
You may have been blocking yourself by continuing to associate with others who would prefer you to stay small. Expand and reach out. There is so much more available to you right now. Let go of anyone or anything that is sabotaging you. Don’t try to patch things up and keep things as they are, because they are not meeting your emotional needs. It’s time to stretch out and spread your wings.

Stress That Affects Memory ~
How Are You Experiencing Disorientation?
1. We’re going to look at several possible reasons why emotional stress might be affecting your memory. One reason could be that you are disoriented due to a sudden recent change. You might also be picking up on other people’s stress. Another possibility could be that your mind has been exposed to an overwhelming amount of information or static energy. It helps to be aware of what is involved.
Let this Circle help you gather up any important information involved. Your unconscious mind knows what’s pertinent and what’s not.
You might want to jot down any impressions you notice.However, don’t be surprised if nothing definite comes to you. There may not be any words because the unconscious mind is not linear.
Just make note of what your experience is for now.
What is a Clear Intention That will Help?
2. To help bring your mind into focus, establish a simple and clear intention for this exercise.
“I improve mental acuity and brain function.”
Go ahead and meditate on the center open space of this chart with that intention in mind.Breathe deeply and relax. Don’t try to make anything happen.A relaxed mind will lead you to a more relaxed body!
When the energy of the chart slows down, you’re ready to move onto the next step.
What Would You Like to Shine Light On?
3. The pineal gland is an important part of your brain because of its main function of regulating light and darkness through the production and secretion of melatonin. In addition, the pineal contains light-sensitive cells that control your equilibrium through the circadian cycle of sleep and wakefulness.
Melatonin also supports healthy memory function and reproductive cycles.
Relax and breathe for a minute or two and let this Chakra Key help you clear toxins from your pineal gland so that your natural rhythms and cycles can come into better balance.
Does It Feel Like Your Energy is Struggling?
4. Emotional stress can cause significant internal and external changes. Sudden reversals, blockages and changes in momentum can cause your energy to react in unusual ways.
You might also have an awareness of rough or reversed energies around you.
Keep this Correction Key handy to help you correct any rough glitches or reversals that you may be experiencing with any of the chakras you’ll be working with in this exercise.
Relax with it for a few minutes until things smooth out and you can begin to feel the calming energy of your Soul coming through. Be sure to do that both crossed and uncrossed over the midline of your body.
How Would You Like to Feel?
5. The hypothalamus is a part of your brain that regulates homeostasis. Through it, you have the ability to maintain inner balance and a calm state of mind. It also regulates a variety of functions including your physical development, digestive health and metabolism.
What kind of support would you like with those things?
Allow this Chakra Key to help you clear and balance your hypothalamus.
What Would You Like to Remember?
6. The hippocampus is actually two structures located on either side of the temporal lobe that are involved with memory development, verbal, spacial and directional skills.
Repeat what you just did in the previous steps. Relax and breathe while you gaze at this Chakra Key to clear out toxins and bring both areas of your hippocampus into balance.
Once you’ve really relaxed with it, check in with a question:
“Is there something I’ve forgotten that’s important? More than one?”
Make a note of it and continue with your mind exercise.
What Would Bring You More Ease?
7. There’s another part of your brain function that taps into the wisdom of your Soul. Some call it the Third Eye Chakra. Through it, the pineal, hippocampus and hypothalamus can connect and work together to enhance learning and create coherent thoughts. Intuition and common sense can then blossom and communicate meaningful insights to your Heart Center.
Keep relaxed and gaze softly at the Circle with each affirmation:
“My common sense and intuition are working together.”
“I receive meaningful insights about my situation.”
“My mind helps me to reduce stress and integrate joy into my life.”
What Needs to Get Connected?
8. This Circle helps you repair the subtle hara lines that connect your chakras, like a beautiful web of Light. Keep relaxed and gaze softly at the Circle with each affirmation:
“My mind and body are connected and balanced to create improved mental acuity and brain function.”
“I improve my comprehension and understanding.”
“I connect with solutions.”
What Would Support You?
9. It’s possible that you’re dehydrated or not getting the right nutrition. While you gently focus on this Circle, ask yourself:
“Is there something I could eat or drink that would help me?”
“Is there something I’m eating or drinking too much of?”
Is There Something That You Need To Let Go Of?
10. If there is, let this Circle help you open up and let it go.

What Would Genuinely Help Your Emotional Stress?
11. Is there something that you could do to help your mental / emotional stress?
Is there something it would be best to stop doing?
Use this Circle to consider actions you could take that would help in this situation. Make sure they would be genuinely helpful to you now.
Is there anything you could do or stop doing that would be genuinely helpful to others?
What Is Your heart Saying?
12. It could be that things are just moving too fast and your mind is trying to keep up. Take a moment to slow down and tune into your Heart Center. Bring it into balance first. Then, ask yourself:
“What is my heart telling me?”
“Am I worried about something (physical, financial, family issue, etc)?”
“What have I been doing? Has that helped?”
“What do I feel?”
How Will Life Be Better Without This Emotional Stress?
13. Your physical body is the foundation for your vitality and your instinct to take care of yourself. Clearing energy, especially in your lower body, will give you strength and support to make necessary changes.
Once you feel stronger, ask yourself:
“What, if anything, am I forgetting about my physical health?
“Is there something I need to remember?”
There’s always more than one way to do things, what new way comes to mind in this case?
What Would Keep You Grounded?
14. A strong connection to the Earth gives you support to make the necessary changes and stay balanced at the same time. Put both feet on the floor to help you ground.
If needed, go back to Step 8 and connect with your other chakras.
Take whatever time you need.
Once you’re centered and grounded, ask yourself:
“What do I need remember?
“Do I need to change anything?”
“Do I have the connections and resources I need to resolve this stress?”
“What would be involved? Is anything missing?”
Ask For Blessings On Your Life Path.
15. Finish by balancing out your Life Path Chakras. They help you stay on your own path and tune into the promptings of your Soul – a very important thing to remember!
“I open up to my potential and stay positive.”
“I stay true to my Soul’s path.”
You may want to sit with this for awhile.
Plan to take a walk or relax for a bit out in Nature once you feel ready.
Releasing emotional stress takes time and space!
