Self-care and Personal Growth through Gifts from the Rainforest:
21.Oyster Medicine – the oyster receives without judgment. When we openly receive life, we release effort and struggle.
What are you willing to receive?
Is that in your best interest?
Are you in the best position to receive blessings?
Is it time to discharge an irritant?
Healing Action: Get present and open your heart to receptivity. Accept the benefits of your kind actions and ability to benefit from difficult circumstances.
The Pearl of Great Price
To openly receive is something that the
small mind has great difficulty doing.
It tries to force things to happen –
to control outcomes and future events.
It tries and tries, but never succeeds.
The Oyster never tries to do anything, it just exists.
Because it exists, it has no need to resist.
Since it has no need to resist,
it openly receives without judgement
about whether something is good or bad,
right or wrong, wanted or unwanted.
If a grain of sand is washed into its home,
it uses the irritation to create a pearl.
We would be wise to follow the Oyster’s lead.
Accept the events in your life
and use them to nourish the heart and Soul.
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.

Further Exploration into Oyster Medicine:
Oyster Medicine
Your ego is dominating the situation by limiting what you’re willing to receive. It’s trying to hide flawed reasoning and is busy thinking up excuses. Step away from that reaction so that you can allow something better to come in.
Gaze gently at Oyster’s Circle and ask your Soul: “What am I willing to receive in this situation? Can I open to more?” Clarify the situation by answering, “What is the resistance about?”
Conversely, it could be time to stop tolerating an irritant and expel it from your personal space. Not everything is worth keeping. Let go of the struggle. Accept what you’ve learned from the situation and let it go.
Are you denying or blocking positive change? If so, It’s time to accept yourself and the situation as it really is. The sooner you release your denial, the sooner your difficulties will end.
Examine your attitudes and beliefs, especially those you feel justified in having. As you look at the Circle, ask your heart, “What attitude or belief is causing me trouble? What am I not accepting?”
Then ask, “What would help me be more open and receptive in this situation?”
Follow your own advice and you will experience profound personal changes taking place.

Animal medicine indicates that better communication will improve the situation you are dealing with now. Scattered or disjointed communication, whether written or verbal, comes out of scattered and disjointed thinking. It’s time to simplify and get to the bare truth of the matter. Or You may be ignoring subtle forms of communication, such as body language or events that keep repeating themselves. Missed communication is probably holding up the works somewhere. Consider the possibility that your priorities might be out of order. Examine the following steps to effective communication. If any step is missing in regard to your current circumstance, look at the Circle to help you gain more clarity and get back on track.
1. Form a clear idea. 2. Focus your ability to focus on that idea without distractions. 3. Find the purpose – what you want to accomplish with this idea. 4. Be flexible to expand or refine the idea. 5. Be able to visualize the finished product or result. 6. Prioritize what is important about the idea and its purpose. 7. Make a decision to do it or not. 8. Follow through on the decision. 9. Achieve a satisfactory finished product. 10. Accept the responsibility for the communication.
Successful communication is the essence of being able to manifest your dreams in physical reality. Be aware that people will now listen to you with greater respect and cooperation. Or If you are hurting, especially from matters of the heart or even PTSD, working with animals or studying them would hold unusually potent healing.

Stop Internalizing Negativity with Chigger Medicine
Self-care and Personal Growth through Gifts from the Rainforest:
29.Chigger – chigger medicine reminds us to detach from whatever’s irritating us. When we can stop fighting with the negativity or attitudes of others, there’s nothing left to feed on.
Are you taking things personally?
Is something getting under your skin?
If so, what might help?
Healing Action: Decide that your reactions matter. Reject irritations without feeding the anger. Stop internalizing negativity, especially when it isn’t really about you.
Growing A Thick Skin
Chiggers are mites that dig under the skin and lay eggs.
They irritate and cause you to itch voraciously.
Unfortunately, the more you scratch –
the more they spread and the worse it gets.
Parasites of this sort come in many forms:
the gossiping neighbor next door,
the rebellious child,
the critical boss,
and the nagging mate.
It’s as if all they want is to get under your skin.
Anger and apathy only keeps the fire burning.
The way to handle parasitic people is to
cut them off from their fuel supply –
detach from your emotions.
Be firm, be courteous, agree with them
and hand them back their problems.
Without resistance, there’s nothing left for them to feed on.

Further Exploration into Chigger Medicine:
You are very easily irritated by your current circumstance. Irritation is like a fire that causes your energy to react destructively, giving you an excuse to lash out by blaming, arguing, gossiping or feeling sorry for yourself. It would be advisable for you to transform your irritation into an energy that will fuel your dreams instead of destroying them.
Chigger Medicine
Learn to be more quiet and peaceful when you fall out of balance. Stop whatever you are doing and take a deep breath. Take several, in fact. Look at Chigger’s Circle and ask your heart: “What is really irritating me about this?”
Then, stop focusing on the feeling of irritation and neutralize your energy as much as possible. Don’t let yourself get caught up in trying make things work the way you think they should. The time isn’t right to engage in a fight. It’s time to disengage from the need to be right. Or Irritations that return over and over again are there to remind you that something is a problem. Release any conditioning or agreements you may have to ignore the message or unknowingly internalize negativity. In this case, it’s worth it to just start writing or expressing whatever comes into your head. Don’t stop the flow of thoughts until they’re complete. More questions or irritations may come to the surface. Keep expressing yourself until you get to the bottom of what’s really burning you up.
If you can get to the place where you can finally accept and forgive, you’ll be able to let it go. Imagine that you can open yourself up and expel whatever is bugging you by sending that irritation up to the Light for transformation.

Intuitive Guidance for Decisive Action
w/ Rheanni Lightwater
In Gifts from the Rainforest, there are 58 plant, animal and nature spirits that share their message with a focusing tool I call the Intuitive Learning Circles. These Circles have a hypno-therapeutic action that can help us sort out information and enhance our objectivity.
When your mind is all cluttered up with too many thoughts it can be hard to tell if something you want to do is actually a good idea. Also,some ideas that are really important can get overlooked.
You Can Use the Circles to Ask About Specific Actions to Take ~
You might want to journal to keep track of the thoughts and ideas that come up with this exercise. You can go deeper through journaling or conversation with a therapist or like-minded group.
This kind of processing is a powerful resource that helps you to sort out your thoughts. Emotions can be felt and more easily released once they’re out of your head and put down on paper, which prevents overwhelm, anxiety and burnout.
Ask Your Intuitive Guidance About Specific Actions to Take ~
Slow down with #23 Sloth and pick one action that you’re considering doing at this time – i.e. taking a trip, starting a business, a project, etc.
To help you get out of your head, use Dragonfly Medicine #31 to consciously bring your energy down into your solar plexus area and connect with your natural instincts and self-healing abilities.
Once you’ve done that, slow down even more!
Especially if you’ve been through a recent trauma, the stress of that experience might have shut down the energy in your Third Chakra, which happens to be located at your solar plexus. Take a few minutes now to help yourself by allowing it to open up and relax.
Stop focusing on all that you’re trying to accomplish and take a few minutes to clear out your mind with #12 Rat Medicine.
When your mind starts racing and you’re too busy to stop and take a deep breath, you’re identifying with herd mentality from the collective ego. Catch yourself before your ego runs away completely!
Imagine you can sweep away all that extraneous clutter. Send it to the Light and close the doors behind you that let all that clutter in.
Then relax! Take several long, deep breaths – inhale and exhale.
Move around and stretch if that helps.
Once your thinking has calmed down, gently bring your mind back to your original question using #36 Plant Spirits. What were you thinking of doing?
Notice how much better your body and mind feel when they’ve calmed down…
Now you’re ready to ask: How would taking that action nurture you?
~ Is the timing for it right?
~ Would doing it energize you, drain you or something else?
~ What is your impression of how it would actually feel to do that thing?
~ How would it affect others?
Dive deeper with #23 Divine Perspective from Soul Prayer Charts. A perspective from your Soul will help you expose potential sabotage and find your way forward in positive, productive ways.
Take the action that you’re considering and project it out into the future – what do you sense?
~ Does taking this action serve you on a Soul level?
~ Does it have purpose and meaning?
~ Would it be joyful?
~ What are the possibilities that could result from taking this action?
~ Are there certain steps or decisions that need to happen first?
Use #33 Llama and consider your proposed action again.
What effect would deciding to take this action have on your other priorities?
~ Are you willing to be flexible and follow inner guidance as you go?
~ Are there any new decisions you need to make about yourself? Get all the gears in your mind moving together.
~ What decisions do you need to make about others?
If you need to, use the Circle to unstick those “stuck” gears and remove mental obstacles from your thinking process.
Intuitive Guidance Will Help You To Set Yourself Up for Success
#34 Butterfly will help you to consciously tap into the most beneficial energies and nourishment that would support your ability to make wise decisions and follow through with them successfully.
If you’ve decided that your proposed action isn’t a good idea for you, use #5 Wasp to pull your energy back from that possibility.
Perhaps your time would be better spent doing something else. If that’s the case, look to your intuition to follow a better plan.
Regardless of what you’ve decided, remember the Golden Mean that says what you put out comes back to you.
Confirm with #14 Otter that you are centered within yourself properly to put your highest good out there so that you can receive a reciprocal, beneficial response.
Place your best intention in the center of his Circle like a bull’s eye. Send your energy to that intention and then allow the energy to return to you.
Congratulations! You’ve made yourself an active part of the equation.
Now, be sure you’re using your karma correctly for the best possible outcome.
Start by confirming that you’re using your own karma and not confusing your actions with some one else’s.
Next, confirm that the decision you’ve made is actually in your best interests. If it is, great – good to know!
Is it positioned correctly – in your own personal garden?
Finally, make sure you’ve included the karma you need to stay grounded and keep your energy high enough so that you can easily rise above any misunderstandings, difficulties or miscommunications that may interfere with a successful follow through.
If you don’t have those intentions now, plant the seeds for them.
Tap into your Guardian Angel and Intuitive Guidance with Divine Grace from Soul Prayer Charts.
Is there anything else that you need to be aware of?
If there is, make a note of it.
Remember to stay open and ask for help in case you need to adapt to changing circumstances.
Now that you have answers from your intuitive guidance, take a moment to close off any harmful pathways or leaks in your energy field.
“All doors, holes or pathways that lead to suffering are sealed and healed.”
“I turn my attention in the directionof my Soul’s intention.”
Congratulations! Now is a good time to take a walk or go out into Nature to help this all integrate. Be prepared for new ideas and solutions to make their way towards you!
Please note: These Animal Totems can help you practice how you’re using your decisions to create better outcomes. However, your intention, whatever it may be, cannot be completed until you have followed through and taken action in the real, physical world.
Helpful Tips:
Did you remember to cross and uncross over the midline of your body?
With practice, you will begin to intuitively “know” whether you need to cross or uncross. Give yourself permission to make a habit of this valuable skill.
Were you willing to play and be flexible with the Circles?
In this exercise and all the other sequences on this website, I’ve taken the time to create a general template that I hope will be helpful. However, self-healing is an individual process and your experience will be unique – differing even from one day to the next. That’s why it’s important to remember that your Soul is in charge!
With that in mind, you may be ready to begin your Animal Totem Tracks series.
If you feel you’re ready, go through this exercise again with that question in mind. Checking in with your Soul to evaluate your options is one of the best decisions you can make!

33. Llama Medicine – llama is a sure-footed guide with an uncanny sense of timing and direction. His advice is to lighten up and leave behind whatever doesn’t work for the journey.
Are your decisions unclear? Is your timing off? What direction are you going? Are you stuck?
What do you think would help?
Healing Action: Center yourself so spirit can guide you rather than your ego. Free your mind of rigid, old decisions. Trust your inner compass to follow your new path.
The Llama’s Journey North
There is a proper position for new beginnings
that requires humility and trust in the Soul.
Just as the adventurer must trust her Llama
on the journey to the mountain tops.
Make clear and conscious decisions
about this new beginning.
There are many things that are unknown
because this is an entirely new path.
Accept what you don’t know
and discipline your mind firmly and consistently.
This will help you on your journey.
The time is ripe for action.
A new cycle is beginning –
Infuse it with trust, enthusiasm
and a dedicated devotion to life.

Further Exploration into Llama Medicine:
Llama Medicine
Your heart is asking you to be open to the great unknown, yet you are finding it difficult to take a chance and give your all to your hearts desire. Perhaps the shock of past events has deterred you from making a commitment because your ego is afraid that what happened before will happen again. However, you can make a more conscious choice through the help of your Soul, rather than your critical mind.
Ask Llama’s Circle, “What needs to happen?”
Free yourself of domineering, limited beliefs. Be determined and decide to change by nurturing your connection with Soul. Use your common sense, stay alert and follow your truth.Possibilities are always available to those who follow their heart and Soul.
If you’re having trouble making a decision, confer with Llama’s Circle and contemplate your situation for some navigational advice:
1) Knowing where you genuinely want to wind up is a key factor in any journey. It’s not just what you want to get away from. Ask your Soul, “Where do I really want to go? What kind of person do I want to be on the way and once I get there?”
2) Once you have answers, follow up with, “Am I heading in the right direction for this to happen or am I confused in some way?” If you need help, use the Circle to imagine you can gently turn the gears in your mind around so they’re moving all together in a forward moving, coordinated direction. If you feel stuck, some gears may not belong in there at all! Unscrew them and pull them out completely.
3) Now you can explore the possibilities with greater confidence. Go through the different options asking: “To get there, what do I need to do?” What decision(s) do I need to make?” “Is this or that option beneficial?” or “What’s next?” Get help from other Helpers if needed (1 – 58)
4) When an affirmative answer comes back, investigate further by asking “When is the best timing for this to happen?”
Use whatever information you get to help you navigate your journey.

Experience Wholeness Through Electric Eel Medicine
Self-care and Personal Growth through Gifts from the Rainforest:
24. Electric Eel – conducts an electro-magnetic life force that unifies body, mind and spirit. Grounding in the truth of who we really are reconnects us to the web of Life.
Are you experiencing a blockage?
Do you feel disconnected?
Are you holding space for negativity? If so, what would help?
Healing Action: Recollect and reconnect yourself. Check for reversals, blockages or polarity problems in your aura and meridian systems. Get grounded in Mother Earth.
Current Events
When human beings decided to leave the Garden
they lost connection with the truth about who they were.
Once that happened, they threw respect to the north wind
and forgot that what they said and did mattered.
They tossed compassion to the east wind
and forgot that they were all brothers and sisters.
They flung tolerance to the south wind,
forgetting that life was precious.
And when they abandoned wisdom to the west wind,
they forgot all caution and equality.
The winds wanted to keep the truth safe, so they asked
Electric Eel to hold it with him at the bottom of the sea.
This he has done, faithfully and lovingly.
To this day, the winds blow fiercely in times of war,
hoping to remind us of what we have lost.
Are you ready to remember the current of life
that runs through all of creation?
Reconnect and feel the full energy of who you are.

Further Exploration into Electric Eel Medicine:
This Circle brings you back to the unmet thirst of your heart that desires unified Love and is unable to access it in your current consciousness. In this particular case, you are the obstacle in your own path. Only you have the power to put things in their rightful place. It’s time to put out a more congruent, positive charge!
You may be operating under the misconception that you need to hold space for things or people other than yourself. By holding onto their energy, you create an incongruent charge that causes instability in your life and makes it difficult for you to remain present and grounded.
Look within and notice where you feel vacant. This vacancy is actually confusion about what is really true. It’s in your best interest to stop whatever you’re doing and attend to the vacancy. If you do, you will uncover a lie that is waiting to be exposed. If this is the case for you now, ask the Circle, “What is the lie about?”
Don’t underestimate the detrimental affect this lie has had on your life and happiness. It’s time to stop this destructive pattern, otherwise you will remain stuck in the mud or worse. Know that by attending to the lie, greatness will be returned to you.
Now would be an excellent time to tune into nature and align with the Circle of Life. Live in the moment and patiently release your preconceptions while getting grounded in the truth. All is well.

Nourish A New Perspective Through Butterfly Medicine
Self-care and Personal Growth through Gifts from the Rainforest:
34. Butterfly – Butterfly medicine is about nourishing ourselves appropriately so that we can flourish while we go through the many metamorphoses in our lives.
What kind of changes have taken place within you recently?
Are you nourishing yourself correctly?
If not, what needs to change?
Healing Action: Pay attention to how you’re nourishing yourself. Learn to say no to harmful input. Be open to receive amazing new forms of beneficial nourishment.
The Changing Butterfly
The butterfly has successfully transitioned
out of its cocoon.
It must learn to nourish itself
in an entirely new way if it is to survive.
So it is with the humans.
They encounter many metamorphoses
throughout their lives, yet they often forget
that the old ways no longer work.
Consider the changes in your life
and consciously discontinue the old ways
you had of nourishing and being nourished.
Ask for guidance from the butterfly
about this new life you have entered.
What are the necessary changes you must make?

Butterfly Medicine
You have recently gone through a significant transformation and your vision is hampered by the fact that you’ve never been in this position before. You’re filled with hesitation and doubt because you don’t know what to expect. Naturally, it may take some time to realize you’re no longer the way you were. Your perception of yourself needs to make some changes as well.
Take some time out to play and explore new ways to take care of yourself. Old patterns of self-defeat and self-destruction have been healed; now it’s time to get a new perspective based on your current needs. Many decisions you’ve made in the past are no longer relevant.
Look at Butterfly’s Circle and make some choices about would nourish you now. Ask your heart what changes you need to make in order for your choices to prosper. What kind of input will help you spread your new wings? You may be surprised by the answers that come back to you. If they’re full of contradictions, you will understand more clearly how your ego is still trying to sabotage your growth.
Refrain from blocking positive change through denial, doubt or self-criticism. Lift any restrictions your ego may have put on receiving Love. Accept that change has come and you can’t go back to the way that things were. Actively seek out creative, nurturing energy and allow it to support you in the most appropriate and generous form.

#43 Early Morning Storm –New beginnings are best ushered in with objectivity and a fundamental belief in the beauty of life. An early morning storm inspires us to start fresh from wherever we are.
Is something obstructing your clear connection with life, health, hope or happiness?
What new possibilities do you need to make way for?
Healing Action: Dissolve dysfunctional mindsets, family patterns and attraction fields that no longer serve you.
A New Dawn
View your life from a distance.
Get clear about how your decisions create the experiences that follow.
If you decide to believe your negative thoughts,
you will create negative experiences.
The collective unconscious has been dreaming a negative dream.
The jungle cries out to our hearts,
“It’s always early morning somewhere.
Start fresh from wherever you are right now.”
You can change your reality
and the reality of the planet
by changing your beliefs.
Begin again.
Create a new dream by allowing an early morning storm to clear the air.
Refresh, relax and believe in the beauty that is all around you.

Further Exploration into Early Morning Storm Medicine:
Early Morning Storm
A new dawn is about new beginnings. You are ready to embark on a journey that requires an entirely different way of thinking. Discipline and compassion for yourself will teach you how to clear the slate effectively. You may think that the shadows from the past are fading into the background, yet all you would need to do to bring them back full force upon you would be to either go into denial and plunge into the future without any caution or to focus obsessively on what happened in the past.
It’s time to transmute the shadows of denial and assumption through your greatest strengths – the truth and acceptance that comes from your Soul. A simple way to remember this lesson is, “The ego repeats – the Soul creates.”
This medicine is especially good when you want to gather unconscious information about a larger pattern so that you can clear and release it more completely. Use the Circle to help you get a larger perspective on a situation with this affirmation: “I gather all the pertinent information about this situation so that I can clear it in alignment with my Soul.”
Or
A fear from the past has become a habit for you and as a result, you continue to attract negativity. You can transform your habit into courage with the assistance of Nature and this Circle. Look into it and ask your heart, “Am I in real danger right now, in this moment?”
Or
A new dawn could also be alerting you to a beautiful new opportunity that has just been opened to you. Clear your mind and ask for the possibilities to reveal themselves.
There is magic in rain that falls through the atmosphere when dawn is breaking. Use this power to open your heart and make room for Love. Appreciating beauty at this time keeps you focused on what’s important and gratitude renews the childlike heart in all of us.

Night Vision
The bat has extrasensory powers
that guide him in total blindness.
His intuition is heightened beyond our human experience.
We live in a world of absolutes – we think.
And the natural world around us is
something we think we can control.
Bat knows the falsehood in limited thinking.
Re-source your thinking from that of the
small mind to the larger mind
that knows all things are possible.
Solutions appear out of nowhere.
Ingenuity transcends the boundaries of time and space.
Bat medicine is the power of not knowing.

Being guided by Love is a process of letting go. The things you have done in the past will not work now. Surrendering to your intuition is the best plan. Be willing to change your attitude, because poor attitudes breed poor intuition.
Animals use their senses keenly to find things that will benefit them. Unfortunately, most humans rely far too heavily on only one sense. As a result, we often miss the little details that could make all the difference in how a situation turns out.
You are not as stuck as you think you are. Trust your intuition and use vibration to guide you. If the “vibe” around you isn’t right, you will feel it in your gut. Surrender to your Soul’s unique vibration to heal yourself and remove all kinds of “bad vibes” that trouble you. Once you are clear, new ideas and resources can fly into your being.
Sensing the best in any situation requires that you sense the best in yourself. Be open and receptive now for new experiences.

#22 Mosquito – mosquito medicine reminds us to stop listening to all the buzzing in our heads so we can hear our Soul’s guidance and stay focused on our best interests.
Are you distracted by harmful thoughts, groupthink or destructive attitudes?
If so, what would help?
Healing Action: Calm down to detach. Turn off electronics and media for a bit. Clear confusion and herd by meditating or taking a walk outdoors.
Mosquito Bites
What could be more irritating than mosquito bites?
They distract us, frustrate us,
and keep us from enjoying where we are.
Our mosquito minds act in much the same way.
Constantly finding a new problem,
a different worry, another misfortune –
and then it bemoans its life,
“Oh! When will this pain ever end?
Never. If the mosquito mind has its way.
Learn to turn off the buzzing
by becoming still and
listening to your
heart instead.

Criticism, judgment or prejudice within your own mind is keeping you isolated and unable to utilize the help that is being offered. It’s also preventing you from growing in a positive direction.
What you bring into reality has a lot to do with the choices you make and that’s often based on what you’re paying attention to. Have you been spending too much time with technology or listening to the media? Over-exposure could be a big source of trouble.
Whenever your mind is filled with negative thoughts, it isn’t a good time to push yourself further by trying to force your way through. The best thing to do is take it easy so you don’t burn yourself out. Rushing around trying to get things done will probably backfire at this time. Instead, do something special for yourself that will take your attention away from your negative thoughts. Keeping your thoughts neutral makes it easier to stay in contact with your Soul.
Or
You have been caught in a maze of conflict and contempt that seems to be unending. Chaos is rampant, no one seems to have a solution and common sense is completely absent from the situation. Creative energy is suppressed and opportunity has been shut down.
It may be necessary to transform attitudes and behaviors if you want to cooperate with the higher wisdom of your Soul. As you look at the Circle, notice the thoughts that keep going through your head. Luckily the Universe is more loving than the ego!
Instead of focusing on the conflict, look at the Circle again, only this time, focus on things that bring you joy. This could be one of those situations where “faking it till you make it” is one of the best or perhaps the only way out of your predicament.
This is not a denial of what’s happening. This is acceptance and then making a deliberate choice to focus on the very best, most productive thoughts that would be in your highest good. Doing so will help you recharge your creative batteries and get you through a difficult time.
