Handle Irritations Before They Handle You
Is the Way You Handle Irritations Working for You or Impairing Your Health?
Do you handle irritations by flying off the handle, cursing out loud, or is it more like a slow burn? Some people are able to ignore their feelings, put on a happy face and set their grievances aside only to wind up paying for it much later with serious health problems.
Certainly, it seems that everywhere and every day, there are plenty of things to be irritated about. However, are you letting them drain your energy or sour your mood? Do they keep you up at night? Are you dangerously close to lashing out at others, even those that you hold most dear?
Well, if that’s happening, you’re certainly not alone. These are all ways that we keep “scratching the itch” and make bad situations worse.
This is a great subject to journal about for your own personal growth. You can turn irritations into positive progress, and this Mind Exercise is here to help you do that.
Simply relax and gaze at the Intuitive Learning Circles while contemplating the accompanying positive affirmations and questions. Going through the process will help you discover how well you’re handling irritations and what you can do to improve.
So, get out a pen and paper and let’s get started…
An irritation is there to alert you of a problem. Use Chigger Medicine to slow down and tune into what’s bothering you.
What is a problem that’s been irritating you? Pick one and write it down.
Often, an irritation communicates on several levels. Ask yourself:
“How is this irritation affecting me physically?
Mentally?
Emotionally?
What about spiritually?”
Does it remind you of something that has happened before? If so, how far back does it go?
In what ways do you keep “scratching the itch?”
Is that working for you? If not, are you open to an alternative path?
Keep writing until you feel confident you’ve gotten all the information.
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.
Engage in a Change in Perception to Help You Handle Irritations.
Because of recent changes in your life, It’s possible that your sense of this irritation needs a shift in focus. Look at your situation from a different angle or through a different filter. You can get some help with that by relaxing with these affirmations:
“I reclaim and balance my five senses.”
“I use them to become aware of how my environment or situation has changed.”
“I focus them to be present and aware of my current needs.”
“I gain clear awareness of alternative paths that hold beneficial resources, solutions, opportunities and _________.”
At any point In this exercise, you may need to handle blockages or reversals in your chakras or energy field.
Use this symbol to help you smooth out any reversals, glitches or jagged edges.
“I bring my energy system back into balance and flow.”
This may take several minutes, however, it’s well worth whatever time it takes.
You will know you’re done when you can take regular, deep breaths.
Relax and let this Circle help you adjust the volume on your senses so you can handle irritations from a more balanced point of view.
Some may be turned up too high, causing anxiety, tension and/or misinformation about what’s really going on. That happens most often with the senses of feeling and hearing. You can use this Circle to help you adjust the volume up or down to just the right level.
Relax and allow your mind to adjust to the best level for clear perception:
Bring your senses into balance and perceive your situation with clarity.
Check in with Fly Medicine to see if your energy is getting drained by this situation.
If so, can you tell how often it happens? Does something seem to trigger it? What goes on mentally?
It probably wouldn’t surprise you if a lot of what’s irritating you is the fact that it’s so draining! Take a few moments to consciously take apart old habits and close down the drains to your energy – like old plumbing lines that need to be closed down completely.
Check Into Emotional Patterns with Alligator Medicine.
Are there other emotional constructs such as compulsions, obsessions, attitudes, addictions, phobias or allergic reactions involved?
In this new energy, you might just be able to collapse them.
Emotional constructs don’t have the same power over you that they used to. What you decide about them has more importance now.
Go ahead and see what happens when you decide to collapse the emotional structures that are jumping around in your mind and causing you harm.
It will help a lot if you make sure that you are re-establishing your energy and positioning yourself in the New Paradigm.
It’s amazing how much it helps to organize your mindset in a new foundation that can actually support your goals.
If you meditate on the “map” available in this image, your mind can get a better grasp of how it can reorganize your energy in the New Paradigm we’ve entered…
This template called “Common Ground for the Common Good” is based on the concepts of equality, peaceful co-operation and balanced prosperity. This imprint encourages us to establish a mindset where we can work with each other and the Planet going into the future.
It’s also very useful to utilize the new quality of life force or chi that’s available through the Element of Air in the new era of Aquarius.
Let this symbol for Divine Protection help you to close down harmful energy channels from the past.
Once they’re shut down, open up to a positive flow of chi’ and connect up with helpful communication channels.
Get centered with Starlight to make sure that you’re navigating your own situation correctly.
See yourself in the center, open space of the Circle and re-orient yourself.
Are you beginning to understand your irritation differently now?
Do you need to reorganize your thoughts? If so, how?
Are you going in the right direction to solve the problem?
What really matters here?
Let Praying Mantis help you focus on solutions.
This is a good time to write down specifics to help you clear away extraneous mental and emotional clutter. Get all that stress off of you by getting it down on paper.
What are some potential solutions in this situation that would really make a difference?
It might help to move, stretch, draw, doodle or journal via a stream of consciousness. Art often brings in creative inspiration and self-care from your Soul!
Let Rat Medicine help you get specific about what needs to happen to clear the irritation.
Is this situation genuinely detrimental to your physical, mental, emotional health? What about the spiritual level?
Is there something that needs to be cleared out? Re-arranged? Moved? Added? Does something need to be reorganized or removed entirely?
This could be internal or external in your physical environment.
* If you have a copy of The Essential Human, now would be a good time to use the process on page 10 to help you make corrections for a healthy and full expression of the power that comes from your Essential Self. Choose from The Essential Human charts #1 – 42.
Detach from harmful emotional patterns and connect with beneficial qualities that will help you in this new energy.
Check in with Armadillo to see if any parts of you are still pulling your experience from dangerous or nightmarish experiences you’ve had in the past.
Are you protecting yourself appropriately?
If you are, Congratulations! You can be done with this exercise.
If you’re not, is there a number from The Essential Human between #1 – 42 that would help you make the correction?
To continue: Clear attachments and residual toxic energies.
There may be something attached to you that you’re not aware of. It could be an irritation that comes from toxic exposure or an emotional attack that could cause allergies and even addictions.
Like a healing balm, imagine that a loving coat of peace and comfort is pouring down over you.
Attachments and conflicts are melting away. Relax. Breathe. Take your time and move around if you need to.
Make sure that your energy isn’t scattered or being drained anymore.
If it’s not complete, what else do you think is needed?
Make a note of what that is so that you remember to follow through.
Pull back any parts of you that are getting sucked into a negative situation.
Close the drain for good.
Realign with your Soul.
Are you open to the positive vibration of your Soul?
Are you willing to slow down and let your Soul help you in this situation?
Most importantly, are you willing to forgive yourself so that you can let go of your irritation?
If so, this is a good time to let a white light of forgiveness clear away any darkness from around you. Stay with it until it’s cleared completely. Be sure you feel at peace with yourself.
“I forgive myself for getting irritated.”
If you are Attuned to Reiki, this is a perfect time to use it!
Excellent!
Bring closure by closing any leaks, holes or pathways that might leave you open to that irritation and the problems it brings.
“All holes are sealed and healed.
I follow the direction of my Soul’s protection.”
It’s time to get yourself grounded.
Notice how much better you feel. You will feel even better if you are grounded. What do you need to do to get yourself fully grounded in the New Paradigm?
You may need to go for a walk, rub your feet or ground spiritually.
Congratulations! You now have a way to handle irritations more objectively, with a different perspective and without the intense energy drain! Now is a good time to make sure you follow through on grounding yourself.

Unearthing Emotional Conflict
A Transformation Game for Handling Emotional Conflict ~
Transformation Games help you to identify problems, navigate change and clarify what’s really important to you. Simply relax and gaze at the Intuitive Learning Circles while contemplating the accompanying positive affirmations that help you unearth emotional conflict using the I Ching and the Tarot.*
Relax and follow the directions… your intuition will come forward and give you the help that you seek!
Welcome to our Transformation Game about Hexagram #6 – Conflict
Sometimes the reason we’re experiencing emotional conflict is because we’re being dragged into unhealthy patterns from the past. These could be societal expectations, a family pattern or it could be an unhealthy, entangled relationship you have with your own self or another individual.
The I Ching says about CONFLICT:
“You may be facing a major disillusionment in your life as you begin to realize that what you believed to be a universal truth is only your subjective view of the situation. You will have to reconsider your premise more realistically. The need for an inner adjustment yielding a more harmonious outlook is indicated.” ~ Hexagram #6 CONFLICT, The I Ching Workbook, R. L Wing
Hexagram #52 MEDITATION has another caution about conflict, “If you attempt to force stillness upon restless desires you will only create inner conflict and resentment. This can be dangerous. Attempt internal composure through relaxation and MEDITATION.”
Quiz: Are You Experiencing Emotional Conflict?
To find out if either of these scenarios are happening for you, gaze softly at the Intuitive Learning Circle and ask yourself:
“Am I tangled up with someone else’s belief or desire?”
“Is an entanglement or misunderstanding pulling out of the present and into an old mindset filled with conflict?”
“Am I in danger of being dragged into an unhealthy trajectory that isn’t my Soul’s path?”
“Am I spending a lot of time wishing things were different and wanting to go back to ‘happier times’ when things seemed to make more sense?”
If the answer you get is”no,” that’s great! Your Soul is in charge and you’re staying grounded in the New Paradigm of equality, co-operation with Nature and balanced prosperity!
However, if the answer you get is “yes,” “maybe,” or “sometimes,” you may be losing your footing, getting confused or even worse, weakening your connection with your Soul. What can you do?
You may feel a lot of conflict over this issue or you might even have experienced a recent shock that blocks your ability to perceive things clearly. Take several deep breaths and relax while you gaze softly at this Circle to release shock and inner conflict.
“I relax and allow any tense thoughts to melt away like ice under the heat of the Sun.”
You can see an iceberg out there floating and the Sun is so bright that the iceberg starts to melt and you can see it breaking apart… until it’s completely melted away. There could easily be more than one. See them all moving around and melting into different configurations until eventually, they disappear.
“I allow my energy to loosen up and let go until the tension is completely gone.”
Mind Body Integration
The Intuitive Learning Circles work best when you look at each symbol both crossed over the midline of the body and uncrossed, so move around in what ever way you feel would be helpful.
Why? Because the brain and the body communicate with each other through one set of channels when you are uncrossed and another set when you are crossed. If you’re having trouble getting the information, you might be able to access it through movement.
Part I. Determine What’s Involved and How You Can Heal it.
1. Some Inner Conflicts Are Caused by Old Intentions that Need to be Released.
Living in the Aquarian Age is very different from the Piscean Age and you will have different priorities now. For example, sacrificing or taking on other people’s pain to heal it for them is no longer a viable pathway to healing. In the New Paradigm, you help to heal the world when you heal yourself.
If old intentions are not cleared out consciously, they can fester under the surface and interfere with what you really want to create. Help yourself now and prevent trouble later:
“I clear away unhealthy, outdated or compromising intentions.”
“I stop sending energy to other people’s intentions.”
Are there any CONFLICTING intentions that you’re inadvertently sending emotional energy to?
2. Identify Delusions and Projections that Can Cause Emotional Conflict.
Take a few moments with this Circle to relax and contemplate your situation. How are you seeing your Self in it?
Whatever comes up, does it seem like an accurate reflection of what’s really happening in the present? Ask yourself:
“Am I operating under a false idea that’s being projected onto me?”
“Am I being tempted by lies about who I am or what I really want?”
Or
“Have there been so many changes that I need to see this situation completely differently now?”
If so, use this Circle to help you burst the bubble around whatever misunderstanding or falsehood you’re dealing with. Note – There may be quite a few!
3. Identify Mistaken Ideas that Can Cause Emotional Conflict.
See if you can center yourself so you can find out exactly what’s causing problems for you right now. Gaze softly at the Circle below and imagine you’re looking at yourself objectively. Ask yourself these questions:
“What is the biggest challenge I’m facing right now?
What am I telling myself about it? Is that the truth?”
“Am I sending energy to a mistaken idea or false premise that’s interfering with my truth or ability to succeed?”
“Am I willing to ask for the very best possible outcome and receive the best possible help for achieving it?”
4. Get Specifics About this Particular Emotional Conflict.
Ask yourself if your energy is actually tangled up with someone or a group of people around this issue. If so, can you tell who it is?
Are harmful or controlling thoughts being directed towards you?
What are your impressions about how you’re entangled?
Your Soul has a unique signature that identifies you, much like when you sign your name. However, if you’ve been embroiled in a conflict for some time, the signatures of others may actually be blocking your Light and genuine intent.
As you gaze at this chart, can you see your own signature or is it unclear? Ask yourself:
“Are there any markings in my aura that are confusing me?”
If so, use this Soul Prayer Chart to help you clear away any confusing signatures – like erasing graffiti markings.
Are you giving yourself a hard time with your own thoughts or negative self-talk? If so, what is the nature of those thoughts?
If this was a book, what would it be called? Are you ready to be done with this story yet?
Is there an energy drain or harmful habit involved?
If so, close the drain down to the best of your ability.
Then, send loving, healing energy to where the drain was and fill it up completely.
Are you able to protect yourself and stay in control of your own space?
If not, release your agreement to hold space for others or old problems in your energy field.
“I clear out interference and old patterns of conflict.”
“My space is my own and my Soul is in charge of it.”
“I let go and allow others their own space.”
Is the conflict you’re concerned about affecting your health or safety? Is it affecting your ability to prosper? If so, can you tell in what way?
To resolve the conflict, is there something you need to add?
Something you need to take away?
Something that needs to be re-organized?
5. Make a Decision to Detach From Harmful Influences.
If the answers you get are distressing to you, it’s time for your Soul to either: reclaim your personal authority and detach from the conflict. Or, RESOLVE your inner conflict so that your energy can stabilize and ground in the New Paradigm.
If you need to detach, choose aspects of your Essential Self from The Essential Human using the Medicine of Early Morning Storm. Ask for numbers between 1 and 42 that need to detach.
Note – Once you’ve detached, the conflict may still be there, but you’ll be relating to it differently.
Examples: Relax and use this suggested sequence of symbols and positive affirmations from The Essential Human to help you detach…
“I decide to detach from past resentments and the conflicts they create – in the past, now and in the future.”
“I let go of the confusion around this conflict. I now choose thoughts that support my freedom and happiness.”
“I stop focusing my mind on this conflict. I now turn my attention toward helpful and productive solutions.”
“I am able to let go of harmful influences from the past. I fully accept my ability to succeed in my true intentions for myself.”
6. Decide to Reconnect with your Soul.
If you need to reclaim your authority, reconnect with your Soul and let it help you set things right.
“I decide that my Soul is now in charge. I let go of mistaken ideas, flattery, coercion, shame, blame, guilt and punishment.
I let go of the desire to take things personally or waste my energy on lies, no win situations or emotional conflicts.”
“I learn from past mistakes and they are forgiven.”
“I reclaim full connection with my Soul.”
“My Soul helps me detach from false, harmful influences and clears them away. I have full protection.”
“I follow the guidance and integrity of my Soul.”
7. Dissolve Destructive Mental and Emotional Patterns:
Imagine all those emotional conflicts and the ways you get caught up in them are like a dark storm cloud trying to surround and engulf you. This symbol for dissolving destructive blueprints will help your Soul clear the negative pattern. All you have to do is breathe and have the following intentions as you gaze softly at the image:
“I surrender all the patterns of this emotional conflict and any ways that I attach to them. I send them to the Light with Compassion.”
“I release shame, blame, falsehood, entrapment, gullibility, guilt and ____________.”
Simply see the cloud ascending up to the Light until it has disappeared into it. Then, visualize yourself standing in the middle of your own personal garden, filled with beauty and brightly colored flowers.
Please note: It’s time to stop sending destructive energies or emotions into the Earth, she already has too much to handle now. Use the Earth for planting seeds of happiness and life – not death or emotional conflict!
8. Say Good-bye to Old Pathways of Conflicts.
Before you go – close the doors to all that conflict so you don’t keep recycling finished business! Use these positive affirmations to help you:
“I seal and heal all pathways that lead back to conflicts, confusion, punishments and suffering.”
“I follow the direction of my Soul’s protection.”
Part II: Reclaim Your Integrity and Sense of Inner Peace.
Confirm that You’re Utilizing Your Soul’s Unique Vibration.
Return to the clarity of your Soul and allow it to connect with your true Essence, especially in your solar plexus area.
To do that, gently look at the Chart and breathe deeply. Remember a time when you were very happy and had successfully manifested an important physical goal. Notice if a particular color or felt sense comes to mind. What color or felt sense will show you the way?
Relax into it and let it integrate into your solar plexus. See if you can make it stronger and more vibrant. If so, that is your Soul Color.
“I recognize my unique color vibration.”
“I utilize it to help me maintain my integrity and healthy boundaries.”
Return to Your Best Position.
Emotional conflict could cause trouble in your Third Chakra, located at the solar plexus (in the front where your ribs go up) where your Essential Self resides.
Built up emotional toxins can leave your Essence vulnerable to energetic attack, especially if you’ve been in the habit of taking on other people’s pain.
The Essential Self may even disassociate and move to some other location because it doesn’t feel safe.
Take a minute or so to handle this with kindness. Remember that when you heal yourself, you heal the world.
Gaze softly at the Soul Star Chakra Key for chakra healing so that your Essential Self can re-open the chakra, clear out the junk and get balance again. That way, your Essence (or Psyche) will feel safe to return and access its power effectively.
Use this Soul Star Chakra Key to help you clear out the gunk!
Make a Heart Centered Course Correction:
Imagine that your Soul is opening your Heart center and connecting with it. Feel the light within you getting stronger and allow your Soul to make the necessary changes. This is your garden. Your way. The way that your heart is guided to create – free of this emotional conflict.
“I allow the Light in my Heart to radiate out into the World.”
Connect the Hara Lines.
Whenever working with chakras, you may need to repair and strengthen hara lines for improved communication and healing. The hara lines are like tiny webs of light that connect the chakras throughout your body. Sometimes they’re broken or damaged because of trauma, illness, toxicity or sudden changes in the sympathetic nervous system (fight or flight). These affirmations will help you:
“I repair and strengthen my hara lines.”
“My chakras are connecting with my Soul through a beautiful web of light.”
“I am inside of my body. Everything else is outside.”
“I reorganize my consciousness around inner peace and positive solutions.”
Repair and Refocus Your Auras.
At the end of any epigenetic clearing, your auras need to be refocused, repaired and strengthened. Ask your Soul and Guardian Angel to assist you in finding and healing the areas in need.
“I refocus and repair my auras.”
“My auric field is strong and organized to protect my health and spiritual autonomy.”
Let Yourself Get Grounded in the New Paradigm.
Finally, take a deep breath and place both feet on the ground. Feel the resonance in your body and energy field as you connect with the Earth.
“I relax and release discordant energies so that I can ground.”
Take note of where you feel this new awareness moving through your body. Allow yourself to enjoy it.
Congratulations!
Now is a good time to get out into nature. Go for a walk or do something you enjoy. The time you take for yourself now will help you move beyond emotional conflict and into fully embodied action.
