Close the Drains to Negativity with Fly Medicine ~
Self-care and Personal Growth through Gifts from the Rainforest:
19.Fly – Fly medicine warns us to clean up self-destructive habits and attend to what’s in our best interest. Our best self-interest is health, life and the creative power of Love.
Are you getting sucked into a toxic pattern from the past?
If so, what will clean it up and set its right?
Healing Action: Don’t get sucked into bad habits. Deconstruct them. Close the drains and clean up leftover garbage. Then fill the leftover void with love, life and happiness!
Fly Right
The fly lives off the waste and garbage
left by others.
When unattended to, this pest brings bacteria and disease with it,
spreading misfortune and death among the living
He serves as a potent reminder that if you leave
unfinished business to fester, illness will return again.
Right action is about inner direction
and doing what’s in your best self-interest.
When you see the fly, consider how it’s in your best self interests to
clean up self-destructive habits and toxicity in your environment.
Then, once you’ve released the poison from your system,
leave it behind.
Do not return again to eat from your own garbage.
It’s no longer a part of you and you have no need of it,
no matter how familiar it is.

Further Exploration into Fly Medicine:
Something about a project or plan you’re involved with is falling between the cracks and has become a drain to your life force. Stop now and seriously consider what it might be.
The Fly is showing up to make it clear this situation is wasting your time and energy. Perhaps there’s something you believe about yourself or the world that’s been causing you trouble.
Your ability to take good care of yourself has been blocked by some unfinished business. You may be feeling hopeless and drained. Perhaps your ego is saying that change for the better is too hard and that you aren’t worth taking care of, so why bother? Nothing could be further from the truth. Look into Fly’s Circle and ask, “What kind of garbage am I feeding myself?”
Look for hidden malignancies in your thinking and eject them. If others are projecting harmful intentions at you, clear your blind spots and see the situation for what it is.
If you’ve been putting up with abuse from others, take courage and set some healthy boundaries. Whoever first told you that you weren’t worth taking care of was really just expressing how they felt about themselves. Don’t believe this lie, or you will fall back into destructive habits that have caused you no end of sorrow in the past. Avoid the trap by releasing agreements about needing any of that garbage anymore.
Make yourself a priority and choose to take care of yourself.
If you find yourself picking at old wounds, now is the time to decide you are not a receptacle for abuse. Use the Circle to find and excavate those toxic thoughts or attitudes and send them to the Light before they cause any more trouble. Then, visualize closing down the drains to your energy. If you do this successfully, your energy will soon return to normal.
When you’ve finished, ask Fly’s Circle to help you find the void that’s been left behind and fill it in with an extra dose of Love and healing energy. Remember that when you turn your attention towards Love, you create more of it!

5. The Wasp knows not to take rejection personally.Her advice is to use the sting of unpleasant events as a motivator to keep moving and on track.
Are you tapping into a “hive mind” that’s poisoning you?
Do you need to change your destination or the route you’re taking?
What will help you take better care of yourself?
Healing Action: Stop tapping into negative energies and experiences. Pull back from destructive influences. Learn from difficult circumstances and move on.
Surviving the Sting
Disappointment comes in many forms.
The things that others do or say often sting,
but the wasp knows that it’s nothing personal.
Do not allow yourself to become overwhelmed
or sensitive when you are repelled.
It’s not important that everybody likes you.
It’s not even possible.
Your time is better spent looking for
another route to your destination.
The wasp does not intend any harm;
she simply follows her instincts.
If she has stung you today, count yourself blessed,
because she has saved you much time
and trouble in the long run.
You could be about to step
into the middle of a hornet’s nest.
Nurse your wounds and move on.

Further Exploration into Wasp Medicine:
You haven’t been paying attention to subtle messages telling you that you’re off track. Perhaps you’re so busy being right and trying to make things work that you’re missing out on important information and opportunities. Your pride may say, “But – this is the way things are supposed to work!” In this case, that is not so.
Gaze softly into the Circle and ask: “Have I learned what I needed to learn from this situation yet? Why am I still here? Am I overwhelmed or stepping into a mess of trouble without taking adequate precautions?” If there’s a problem, let Wasp direct you to a safer, wiser approach:
You are being warned to pull your energy back from what you’re planning. Something’s not right and needs to be re-evaluated. Are you trying to force something?
Look at your situation from a distance. Objectivity is what’s being called for now. Allow your Soul to change the angle of how you’re looking at this so you can see what’s missing.
Notice the ways that you aren’t protecting yourself. Are you too open to destructive energies? Do you need a break from technology?
Follow the buzz and be led to where the problem lies. Knowing where to look makes it easier.
Be more flexible and creative in accomplishing your goals. If you look to your left – the road less traveled – you could open up to inspiration and wonderful new paths. By making this small adjustment, the bounty of the Universe can make its way to you.
Pay attention to your dreams and insights because they’re particularly rich at this time. If you’re willing to be innovative, a brilliant idea is waiting for you to grasp it and use to start something entirely new!
Finally, thank those who kept irritating you. Even though it wasn’t much fun, they were helping you on your way.

#7 Snake Medicine announces transcendence and initiation into a new stage of life. By peeling away any “old skin”, we are able to move on freely.
Have you noticed a fundamental change in yourself or in a relationship that needs to be consciously attended to?
Is there some extreme behavior you have outgrown and need to let go of?
Healing Action: See yourself and your situation as they really are. Let go of old, negative habits. Shed old personalities and extreme behavior.
Snake Sheds its Skin
The snake renews itself periodically by shedding its skin,
revealing a new and more vibrant version of itself.
Like the snake, you have transcended
the limitations of who you thought you were.
Your appearance no longer suits you.
Peel away the mask that hides your beauty.
Honor the old.
Celebrate the new.

Further Exploration into Snake Medicine:
You have activated your spiritual will and are now moving toward a higher purpose for you and your world. You’re ready to go beyond the extreme “either/or” mentality and graduate to the “and” consciousness of balance and unity.
You’re beginning to understand that things are not either black or white, good or bad – swinging from one extreme to the other. They exist together in the vast continuum of all that exists between Heaven and Earth.
Let the dual aspects of Snake teach you how to strike a meaningful balance. She may advise you to expel extreme ideas that have been poisoning your hopes and dreams. She knows that ideas are like air – they are everywhere, traveling freely, belonging to no one. If you like an idea, apply it to your life and pass it on. If you don’t like it, just let it go.
With this new perspective, you may want to revisit lost hopes and see if you desire to incorporate them back into your life. The way to do this is to bring different levels of yourself into balance by addressing the following forms of extravagance and ignorance:
Complete unfinished business.
Clear up debts that you owe or are owed.
Speak up regarding issues that have been bothering you.
Be done with disloyalty towards your Soul’s purpose, such as petty dramas and ego games.
Come back into your power.
Doing these things will help you set yourself right with the natural flow of the Universe and give you new energy to accomplish your dreams. The critical mind may object, often very loudly, however you now recognize that the ego is not to be trusted when it comes to matters of integrity and/or personal power. These are significant blocks that have hindered inner transformation up until this point. If you ignore them, your energy will be drawn back into feeding negativity and fear.
If you are dealing with your shadow side and healing disloyalty, shed any lies that you may have been telling yourself. These lies come in the form of extremes, denial, jealousy, judgment or vengeance, which have created imbalance and illness within you.
Shamans often refer to this kind of healing as “uncrossing your path”, and the truth is, we always do it to ourselves, usually by following someone else’s path, rather than our own. Successfully making this transition into Unity and Love will expand the possibilities regarding where you can go.
See yourself and your situation as they really are. In that way you will rid yourself of indecision and move forward into your higher good.

Kuan Yin has been helping us through these Transformation Games to transition from the old economic paradigm based on greed and fear to a new paradigm of co-operation, equality and balanced prosperity.
Today, her advice about learning from danger springs from the I Ching, an ancient book of divination that follows the flow of the cosmos. Because of that, her advice and instruction comes from a different perspective than ours.
To help you better connect with her assistance, she uses the Intuitive Learning Circles to communicate with you through meditation, affirmations and visualization.

Kuan Yin’s I Ching Readings and Transformation Games can help you to identify problems, change your focus to positive solutions, ground yourself and get in the present. Simply relax and gaze at the Circles while contemplating Kuan Yins words. Your intuition will come forward and give you the help that you seek.
Welcome to the I Ching Reading and Transformation Game for: Hexagram # 29 – Learning from Danger
“There are times when none of our efforts to solve a problem have been effective and the way out of DANGER is blocked. Often, all that you may do is wait. Yet, even when that is the case, there are still things that you can do to become more aware of yourself by learning from DANGER…
‘Frequent encounters with DANGER are a part of life. Beyond making you inwardly strong, familiarity with DANGER, like the near brush of death, can instill in you a profound awareness of the life force and the mysterious nature of the cosmos. Such heightened awareness can bring new meaning, determination and richness into your life.’ ~The I Ching Workbook, R.L Wing
Generally, the text from Hexagram #29 talks about DANGER that exists in your immediate environment. Responding correctly is really about Right Action – knowing when and how to take action with clarity of mind. Sometimes it’s best to take minimal action or do nothing at all. Awareness and keeping your wits about you are really the keys.”
Learning from Danger – A Transformation Game
This Game uses the Intuitive Learning Circles to help you gain a deeper understanding of the dangers facing you. You may know that something’s wrong and not be able to specify the details of what you need to be aware of. This game can help you identify it. Or, you may have awareness of the danger, but not know what to do about it. In addition, your desires could be leading you into danger time and time again and you’re not learning from it. You can use this game to explore what that’s about and see if there’s something you can do to transcend the habit.
Step One: Access Your Gut Instincts.
Simply relax and gaze softly at this Reiki Chakra Key to open and balance your Third Chakra located at your Solar Plexus (the soft area in the front where your ribs go up).
In times of danger, it’s not unusual for the chakra system to get pulled out of balance. Let this Soul Star Detachment Key help you clear your energy field of toxins. Relax and mend any energetic wounds that are associated with toxic materials such as smoke, chemicals, heavy energies or viruses.
Like a healing balm, imagine that a loving coat of peace and comfort is pouring down over you.
Step Two: Balance Your Senses.
When DANGER is present, It’s essential to see things as they really are. See if you can remedy any “blind spots” or confusion by gazing softly at this Reiki Chakra Key for the five senses, together with these positive affirmations:
“I reclaim and balance my five senses.”
“I use them to be present and make sense of my current conditions and environment.”
“They help me to clear blind spots and confusion.”
“I use them to be aware of DANGER and find helpful solutions.”
“I sense things as they are really happening.”
Note: You may want to go back up to the Chakra Key for Detachment to strengthen the clearing action.
Step Three: Connect with Your Instinctual Nature.
Tune into your psyche, your instincts and your connection to the natural world. Make a commitment to pay attention to signals from Nature and learn to respect the power of Mother Earth’s energies.
“I connect with my natural instincts, my timing and Soul resources.”
“I pay attention to my environment and allow it to inform me about elements of concern.”
Step Four: Slow down.
Danger often comes from being in too much of a hurry and trying to push our way through. Sometimes, it’s the opposite – we’re not taking action when we know in our hearts that it’s in our best interest to do so!
Gaze softly at the Circle to help you slow down and unwind any confusion around what’s really important. Take several deep breaths. Keep inhaling and exhaling until you’ve relaxed and your mind has slowed down.
“I slow down and allow my true priorities to reveal themselves.”
Step Five: Uncover Your Awareness of the Danger.
Gently contemplate this Circle that accesses your intuition and unconscious awareness of a danger you are facing now. Imagine that you can gather up that inner library of experience and see what kind of knowledge comes forward.
Take your time and let the information emerge. Ask yourself:
“What is the real danger about? Is something about to happen? Is there anything or anyone in my environment that is dangerous to me or others? If so, where are they and what affect are they having?”
“How much harm is this situation causing for me and for others?”
“Are there any extreme or narcissistic behaviors that I need to be aware of?
“Am I returning to harmful energy patterns from the old paradigm that are interfering with my ability to handle this situation to my best ability?”
“Is anyone trying to exert control over me or my environment?”
“Is there some kind of negative influence hovering over one of my projects?”
“Am I allowing my emotional reactions to pull me out of balance?” “If so, how is that affecting me?” “Does that tendency put me in any DANGER?”
It can help to remember that emotions are merely energy in motion and they don’t belong to anyone. They just exist.
Whatever you decide about an emotion or group of emotions is what gives you agency over them. If you decide that you have authority over how you respond to emotions you also have power over your actions and the consequences of those actions.
If you decide that you are powerless over emotions, you are like a rudderless boat in a sea of chaos.
Six Six: Ask for Empowerment from Your Source.
Empower your ability to respond to emotional energy and the DANGER that may be present in an effective way.
Use Divine Connection from Soul Prayer Charts to tap into the personal power that comes from your Source.
“I exist and am empowered to control my actions for my protection and benefit.” “I come from a place of Gratitude and Joy, rather than fear or vengeance.”
Step Seven: See it Calmly and With Discernment.
First, let’s make a couple of corrections that will improve your awareness of your situation…
Is any part of you getting caught up in harmful power games? If so, breathe deeply and gaze at this DNA symbol from Kuan Yin. The more relaxed you are, the better these work. Use the positive affirmations to help:
“I let go of harmful manipulations and power ploys.”
“I decide to accept responsibility for my own decisions.”
If you’re having trouble seeing your way or understanding the DANGER, relax with this symbol.
“I cut through the smoke screen that blocks clear perception.”
Do you have a tendency to make things harder than they need to be? If so, imagine a wall of thorny tangles surrounding you and blocking you in.
Then, just imagine them dissolving or melting away..
Remember to relax and gaze at the symbol softly, both crossed and uncrossed over the midline of your body for best results. “I release thorny complications and conflicts.” “I stop trying to make things more complicated than they are.”
“I decide to allow simple solutions for my problems.” “I am open to and embrace simplicity.”
Imagine that you are surrounded with a soft blanket of protection.
“I receive a divine sense of safety from the Divine Masculine and Feminine In all aspects of my life.”
Imagine that a beautiful, golden DNA strand is connecting in with your heart, giving you strength and resilience. Keep relaxing with these affirmations:
“I ask the Divine Feminine and Masculine to assist me in times of fear and violence.”
“I hold the victory of Love in mind.”
Step Eight: Dissolve Destructive Blueprints.
Imagine that the symbol below can help you clear destructive patterns that may be blocking or threatening you. Lift them completely off of you and send them to the Light.
“I dissolve the dangerous imprints of ________ and any connection I have ever had to them. I clear my field of destructive habits and the mental / emotional patterns that cause them. I send them all to the Light.”
Please note: Never send destructive energies into the Earth, she already has too much to handle now. Use the Earth for planting seeds of happiness and life – not death!
Step Nine: Apply Clear Perception to What’s Happening Now.
The DANGER may be upsetting. Don’t get carried away (remember that viruses and other destructive energies feed off of strong emotions).
So, breathe with this Circle and let it help you adjust the volume and bring your senses back to a comfortable level. They could have bumped up too high, too loud or intense. If it helps, you can use these affirmations:
“I calm down and get back into balance. I connect with my common sense. I perceive things as they are.”
Step Ten: Adapt to the Changes In Your Environment.
This symbol provides an interface and filter to assist us in making the functional transition from the old paradigm of Water (Piscean Age) to the New Paradigm Air (Aquarian Age).
“I close down any harmful energies that I might still be open to. I have Divine Protection.”
“I am open to receiving generative life force. I connect with new, improved
lines of communication. I am learning to apply this beneficial energy to my life.”
This would be a good time to take a break. Get some water. Walk around. Stretch. Let this integrate before you continue…
Step Eleven: Clarify the Right Action(s) to Take.
Use this Circle to help you identify possible solutions that you can honestly take upon yourself without placing yourself in further, unnecessary danger. Explore different scenarios until you find a response that makes sense.
“What is an action I could take that would be genuinely helpful to me?”
“Is there something in particular that I need to refrain from?”
“Is there something else I need to learn from danger in this situation?”
“What else do I need to nourish myself appropriately?”
Make a note of the suggestions that come. Times of danger can be filled with distractions that make it easy to forget.
‘Am I centered and putting out the kind of intention that will bring the results I really want?”
If not, use this affirmation with the Circle and see if you can change it:
“I put out __________ in alignment with my highest good and __________ is returned to me.”
Step Twelve: Repair and Refocus Your Auras.
At the end of a game like this, it’s important to make sure that any holes or tears in your auras are repaired and refocused, especially when there are so many chaotic toxins floating around!
“My auras are sealed, repaired and refocused.” “The healing protection for my body is strengthened.”
Gaze at this chart both crossed and uncrossed over the midline of your body to make sure they are completely repaired.
Step Thirteen: To manage yourself well in dangerous times, be sure that you are grounded and centered in the New Paradigm.
Get your feet on the ground and connect with the positive energy of Mother Earth.
Step Fourteen: Close the Doors to Actions that Would Invite Further Danger.
Your unconscious mind knows what’s helpful and what’s harmful to your body, mind and spirit. It’s time to close the door on any harmful pathways that are still open in your mind. See them disappear, as if they were never there.
“All harmful pathways are sealed and healed.”
“I follow the direction of my Soul’s protection.”
Congratulations on your newfound awareness about learning from danger!
“The time ofDANGER can be especially good for inner development. By holding to fixed and virtuous ethics, by maintaining your inner vision and ideals, all things fall into a steady, tangible perspective. You will know your relationships to your environment, and in this way you can accomplish your aims. Although subjective, this perspective is now in accord with the problems facing you.” ~The I Ching Workbook, R.L Wing

Intuitive Guidance Using the Loyalty and Clear Perception of Dog Medicine:
Your gut instinct is an awesome inner guidance system and has access to all kinds of information that you’re not consciously aware of. The only trick is that you need to be paying attention! Luckily, you can learn to use Dog Medicine with this Mind Exercise to hone your intuitive abilities and develop clear perception about where you’re heading.
This symbol accesses inner guidance about protection. Gaze at it softly and ask:
“Am I heading in the right direction?”
If the answer you get is “yes,” you don’t need this particular exercise right now.
If you don’t get a clear answer because your mind has gone blank, you would be wise to go through Formula #1 Healing Emotional Shock first, and then come back to this one.
However, if your answer is a clear “no,” take some time out of your schedule and go through this Mind Exercise. A few minutes now could save you a lot of time and trouble later!
First, a word about environmental changes and getting a grasp on the larger picture…
Most people know on a conscious level that a major shift has occurred. However, the unconscious mind may still be operating as if everything’s still the same.
In order to ADAPT effectively, it helps to have signs and maps to assist us as we update our minds to navigate through the new terrain. That is the reason and purpose for all the symbols and Intuitive Learning Circles on this site.
For example, 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 is an imprint for “Common Ground for the Common Good” based on peaceful cooperation, equality and balanced prosperity. This template encourages us to work with the Planet, rather than against her.
If You Want To Navigate Your Journey with Clear Perception, You Need to Know When You’re Heading in the Wrong Direction and What To Do About It ~
There are several reasons why you might be unconsciously heading in the wrong direction.
For example, your senses may have gotten all knocked out of balance.
With so much going on, it’s easy to be distracted and confused by all the intense change and contradictions that are going on around you.
Fortunately, dog energy works incredibly well to help you with your inner guidance system – warning you to slow down and get your feet back under you.
Gaze softly at this Reiki Chakra Key to get your bearings again. Take a minute or two to consciously gather up all your senses and really connect with them for greater awareness.
Anotherpossibility could be that your energy is having a difficult time adjusting to all the significant environmental changes that are taking place. Sudden reversals, blockages and changes in momentum can cause our subtle energy fields to react in unusual ways.
This Correction Key can help you correct any rough glitches or reversals that you may be experiencing in your energy field.
Relax with it for a few minutes until things smooth out and you feel more like yourself again. Be sure to do that both crossed and uncrossed over the midline of your body.
Your senses could be turned up too high or too low.
That often happens during conflicts or other times when our emotions get out of balance. When we spend too much time in the watery depths, we can start to fantasize about how we would like things to be, rather than acknowledging how they actually are.
It’s natural to do that, however, we need to be able to pull back into the here and now so we can get back on track.
Imagine you can use this Circle to adjust the volume for all your senses, especially your intuition! Breathe in and relax. Take all the time you need.
You don’t want to miss some important information or an opportunity that you need to take advantage of. Dog medicine is here to tell you that something really important is happening right now and you need to be paying attention!
Connect to the new flow of Chi’ based on the Element of Air. Before you continue, let this symbol help you make changes and connect with the generative energy flow of Air in the New Paradigm.
“I close down harmful energy channels from the past.”
“I adapt to the positive flow of chi’ available in the New Paradigm to the best of my ability.” “I connect with new, life affirming channels of communication.”
Your energy may be scattered because you’ve been so stressed. So much is going to change. Because of that, your timing could be off, causing you to jump ahead before it’s a good idea to do so.
Take a moment and bring yourself back into the present. Open and close your hands, take a look at the date and time. Remember your name, the city you’re in or how old you are. Doing these things can really help you get present and aware of what’s actually going on around you.
Once you feel present, ask yourself:
“Am I jumping to any conclusions about my situation?”
If your answer is “yes,” stop and reconsider before you make any moves. Retrace your steps and see where the error is.
Taking steps one at a time is essential whenever you’re in unfamiliar territory! What else might you need to be aware of?
You may have gotten disconnected from your true Self and instinctual nature.
Use the Circle to help you reconnect so that you can get back in touch with your gut instincts, your environment and the things that really matter.
Once you feel connected again, ask yourself: “Am I getting instinctual messages about things I’m doing or not doing?” “Is there any part of me that’s holding onto old energy, operating out of falsehoods or keeping me unhappy?”
If your answer is “yes” to that last question, it would be wise to stop and follow the guidance you get if you can.
Finally, your energy could be misdirected. We can use intuition to guide us properly, or we can misuse it by giving into wishful thinking, illusion, paranoia or buying into the agendas of those who would love to sell us up the river with false claims.
Do you sense any holes that you’re about to fall into? Is there an old habit that needs to be deconstructed or something that’s draining your energy?
When your intuition and instinct are in balance, you have a much better chance of catching things that you really need to watch out for.
Having clear perception alerts you when something really important is happening that you need to be paying attention to!
So, before you step into the great unknown, it would greatly behoove you to take a few more minutes to go through this centering exercise, Develop Clear Perception. This is where you canmake friends with dog energy to get all kinds of insight and guidance as you take your next steps.
Slow Down and Get Your Feet Firmly Planted On the Ground ~
Gaze softly at the center open space of this Circle while you go through a few positive affirmations. If there’s a question, just be open to your gut response.
“I slow down because things may be moving too fast for me to sense the truth.”
“I’m willing to admit I don’t know what’s going on. Asking for help is a blessing.”
“Is my inner guidance sending me a warning?”
“Do I need to let go of something? Change something?”
“Do my instincts want to redirect my attention to a solution or something else?”
“In either case, am I willing to listen and learn?”
You may be surprised at the answers that are coming to you. If it didn’t work, relax! You can go back and do it again. Journaling is often a help.
Be sure to check the directions again and follow them if you’re not sure.
Use this next Circle in the same way with this affirmation:
“I allow clear perception to heighten my instincts and intuition.”
Then ask:
“Am I willing to trust in the power of balanced intuition and instinct?”
“Is the ‘vibe’ around me helpful or harmful?”
Very interesting, isn’t it? We instinctively know when the “vibe” is right or wrong, but we often don’t trust the messages we get. We doubt and second-guess ourselves or we might willfully ignore our inner guidance system and try to force our way through.
Look at the Circle again and ask, “Am I heading in the direction of my best interest?” “Am I making decisions that are in my best interests?” “Am I taking actions that are helpful, harmful, misguided or simply ineffective?”
If you’re not clear yet, keep going with the exercise. You may need a few more easy corrections before the truth emerges.
Clear Perception and Being Present
Often, how well we listen to our inner guidance is affected by how present we are in our bodies. It’s called gut instinct because when we’re really present, we can feel it in our solar plexus (the soft area in the front where our ribs go up).
In times of confusion and stress, the solar plexus chakra can close down or get blocked off. Use this Chakra Key to make sure it’s open and functioning properly.
You can use the
Grounding Your Essence Chart to help you become more centered and aware in that solar plexus area. Just relax and breathe while you gently look at it for a few minutes with the positive affirmations below. Feel free to move at anytime in any way to help you embody your experience…
“I detach from confusion and chaotic energy.” “I am present, upright and facing forward. I am willing to hear the truth.” “I maintain a position that keeps me balanced, centered and grounded in the truth.”
Once you’ve finished centering yourself, hopefully, you’re feeling much better!
Use Dog Medicine to Handle Your Agreements Appropriately:
Another big reason why we might get off track is when there’s a problem with an agreement or commitment we’ve entered into on some level. In this busy, modern life, people tend to take their agreements too lightly and don’t realize how important their word is.
Perhaps paying attention to what we say seems like too much effort or too complicated. Yet, if you really want to be be loyal to yourself, being clear about your word and your agreements is super important. Especially agreements that you’ve made with yourself!
An agreement is an investment of your energy.
Are you investing your energy in something that is no longer viable? Are you investing your emotional energy into something (or someone) that would be harmful to you?
Here’s some tips about how to handle agreements successfully:
You can keep your agreements and stick with what you previously decided.
You can release agreements when they’re complete or no longer serve you.
Or, you can consciously re-negotiate them when they need to be updated.
By the way, it’s also a good idea to pay attention if someone hasn’t been keeping their agreements with you. If that’s happening, it’s best to deal with the indiscretion asap. When we allow someone to break their word with us and then say or do nothing about it, we lose our own integrity by being disloyal to ourselves.

Stay Calm and Take a Few Deep Breaths ~
It’s okay. Our situations are changing at a rapid pace and so are our priorities. To help you identify problem agreements, use this Circle to help you slow down again. Focus on yourself and your current goals. Ask yourself:
“Have I been trying to keep agreements that are harmful to me? Is it time to renegotiate a pertinent agreement?” or “Am I overlooking an important agreement that I need to follow through on?”
If so, can you tell what those agreements are about? Take all the time you need with this… what insights do you get? If you ignore them, they may turn around and bite you!
Use this Soul Contract Circle to imagine that any harmful agreements you may have are like contracts that can be melted down to adjust for what’s needed or burned up entirely. Use the Circle to visualize all harmful contracts interacting with a sacred, violet flame. Here’s some affirmations to assist you if you like:
“I release all agreements that no longer serve me.”
“I let go of ___________. I reframe ____________. I stop ____________.”
Possible new agreements could be:
“I am loyal and true to my Self. My needs are a priority.”
“I have faith. I listen to my instincts and take good care of my Self.”
“I ________________________________.”
Use Dog Medicine to Help You Find A Way Through ~
Now it’s time to redirect your attention to helpful people, opportunities and places. For additional help, ask these questions:
“What is my priority at this time?” “What is my natural place in this situation – where do I belong?” “Am I operating in the New Paradigm based on equality, co-operation and balanced prosperity or the old paradigm of fear, dissatisfaction and greed?”
“Does something need to change?” “Is something out of place, missing or out of order?” “Am I listening to bad advice?” “Am I heading in the right direction?”
Dissolve Destructive Blueprints
Use this symbol to help you gather up any misunderstandings, mistaken ideas or miscommunications and release them to the Light.
“I release all obstructions to clear perception.”
Let any confusion or heaviness you may feel lift up and out of you like dark clouds dissolving into beautiful sunlight.
Please note: Never send destructive energies into the Earth, she already has too much to handle now. Use the Earth for planting seeds of happiness and life – not death!
Close the Door on Confusion and Turn Your Energy Around.
Finally! It’s time to close the door on all those misuses of your time, attention and energies!
“I close the door on any drain or strain on my time, space, attention or energy.” “I follow the direction of my Soul’s protection.”
“I trust the wisdom of balanced intuition and instinct.”
“I have clarity about which direction I need to go.”
Congratulations!
You now have clear perception about what’s really important to you and some guidance about what to do about it. Not only that, you’ve just gotten a key insight that’s going to save you a lot of trouble in the long run!
