Raccoon Medicine
Letting Go of Soul Contracts with Raccoon Medicine
Self-care and Personal Growth through Gifts from the Rainforest:
11. Raccoon Medicine – raccoon is known as a trouble-making pest. However, he made an agreement to show us how to learn from our mistakes and misfortunes. When we acknowledge the garbage we’ve been feeding ourselves, we are free to choose differently.
Are agreements creating conflicts in your life? If so, can you tell what they are?
Healing Action: Access agreements, attitudes and Soul contracts held in the central nervous system. Release or renegotiate those that no longer serve you so you can realign your agreements to support your highest good.
Bandito of the Jungle
Many ages ago, the rainforest raccoon made
a contract with the humans.
He agreed to disguise himself as a
thief and trouble-maker so that
the humans would have someone to blame
for their misfortunes.
He agreed to do this until
the time when humans remember
that their misfortunes
are actually their greatest gifts.
It’s time to release your contract with raccoon
and all those who have
hurt you or caused you sorrow.
Release yourself and make a grand feast
out of the refuse that has, until now,
been disdainfully tossed to the side.
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 Raccoon Medicine:

You are blocking your own progress because you keep going back to past grievances and reliving them. Its time to release your attachment to misfortunes by letting go of the agreement to buy into them anymore. Once they’ve been released, look for new freedom and unexpected opportunities, then go for them.
Raccoon wants to remind you that the purpose of agreements is to help you navigate reality, which sometimes seems like nothing but a huge pile of garbage. He says, “Agreements are how we co-create our reality. Why not create common ground for mutual benefit?” He knows that working together effectively requires the agreement to do so. Yet, if common ground cannot be reached, it may be time to let go of the arrangement entirely.
Perhaps pain and suffering is being prolonged because on some level, you are unwilling to learn from your misfortunes and apply the lessons to your everyday behavior. Would the ego prefer to blame others and is more comfortable by keeping you powerless? Let go of your agreement to organize around your wounded identity. There is no freedom in keeping a grievance and playing the victim. When you take ownership of your behavior, your personal power is returned and progressive action is possible once more.
Or
You are being warned to be cautious when making new agreements with other people. Make sure that you’ve done your due diligence and fully understand all implications of the agreement. Make sure the terms are beneficial to you. If they are not, can they be re-negotiated or amended?
Agreements that are made from the ego’s point of view are filled with contradictions, obligation and trickery. Be sure that any agreement you make is something you would joyfully participate in.

River Medicine
Get Calm 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 to happen, we can hear the truth of the heart and Soul more clearly. This provides balance for reactivity and hypersensitivity.
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 more present. See things as they really are. Clear up wishful thinking. Calm down to reconnect with your Soul and 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? 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.

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. Doing so will help you to accept the paradoxes in your life so that you can be open to 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 heart and Soul.
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.

Jaguar Medicine
Accessing Protection and Power with Jaguar Medicine ~
Self-care and Personal Growth through Gifts from the Rainforest:
17. Jaguar – jaguar medicine exemplifies fierce determination. When using feline power to manifest our greater good, we can accomplish amazing things.
Are you accessing open-hearted courage?
If not, what will help?
Healing Action: Reclaim your courage, strength and determination. Motivate through Love, not fear. Visualize a ring of fire surrounding you and your environment.
A Stealth King
Fierce and determined.
This is all that needs be said about the energy of the jaguar.
Make the jaguar your friend and harness its power
for the higher good.
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 Jaguar Medicine:

Your creativity and special talents will benefit from an influx of courage and trust in yourself. Perhaps 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.

The I Ching

Understanding the Larger Picture ~
When a roller coaster is being flung this way and that, it’s natural to grab onto something that you think will help to stabilize you. However, if you’re clinging to something that is itself unstable, you are actually making your situation worse, whether you’re aware of the mistake or not. It may seem, in the moment, that the larger the structure, the safer you’ll be and that encourages you to grip even harder. This is a classic survival response and completely understandable.
You may feel safer for a moment, yet once you’ve given over the weight of your body to a larger structure that is in DECLINE and falling down, the gravity and force of the fall is exponentially greater.
This is the reason that Kuan Yin encourages us to stay in the I Ching Flow of MODERATION whenever possible.
“The ancient Chinese text describes finding MODERATION as the best way to make progress amidst chaos. The suggestion is to disengage from confusing extremes or opinionated attitudes and instead, follow the guidance that comes from within. In almost any situation, if you are able to walk the middle road between extremes, there will be improvement in whatever you undertake.”
If you can pull back and come from a place of MODERATION, you might look at your situation from a more objective perspective and see the truly precarious situation that you’re in as a society.
Your levels of communication are an extreme example of how desperately people are clinging to the way things used to be. Structures of communication are falling down, tangled and filled with outages, glitches, hijacking of information – these are all signs of the general DECLINE that the old structures are going through.
This DECLINE is completely natural and cannot be stopped.
“Although DECLINE points to the beginning of a later flowering, the way you handle this current decrease in resources is of great importance. This decrease is in accordance with the forces in the cosmos and therefore perfectly natural and completely unavoidable… Accept the DECLINE and respond appropriately by simplifying your life.” – Hexagram #41 DECLINE, The I Ching Workbook, R.L. Wing
The text goes on to warn against extreme communications in particular:
“There may be less meaningful communication… and a frustrating lack of information. Don’t become angry or provocative… Instead, gear the relationship down to a simpler form more appropriate to the time of DECLINE.” ~ Hexagram #41 DECLINE, The I Ching Workbook, R.L. Wing
The Chinese Zodiac –
The Year of the Yin Water Rabbit is approaching and officially starts on January 22nd, 2023.
The beneficial qualities of the Rabbit are said to be: Docile. Fertile. Tender. Quiet. Gentle. Cautious. Considerate. Her fertility and connection with women’s health is legendary, although whether you consider that beneficial or not is entirely up to you!
Her more challenging qualities are liable to be: Irresolute. Skittish. Stubborn. Timid. Escapist. Plus, the rabbit is considered by many to be a trickster, although her tricks are more likely to be along the lines of prank and small irritations, rather than serious deceptions.
With these generalities in mind, what do you gather you need to do differently to prepare for and work with this energy? What is the message from this Archetypal Animal? Are there any warnings? Opportunities?
Is there something specific I could ask about that would be beneficial?
What would you need to do to make friends with her?
So, that’s a lot of changes to adjust to.
The I Ching: Navigate CONTRADICTION.
To navigate the CONTRADICTIONS ahead effectively will demand discipline, determination and courage.
“Business or social strategies may appear ineffective, as they are neutralized by equal but opposing forces. Ambitious goals must wait for a more supportive atmosphere. Your best course of action now is to affirm friendly relations. Avoid being drawn into any questionable schemes. Do not make a grab for position.”
Keep a steady eye on the activities you’re about to engage in. You don’t want to make a bad situation worse by being careless or indulgent. Making a careful and comprehensive examination regarding your decisions will yield the best results. Then, because you’ve consciously weeded out wishful thinking and ungrounded idealism, your actions will take on greater meaning.
“There is an estrangement present between elements that naturally belong together. Do not try to reunify the situation with force… If something inferior is being forced upon you, a cold shoulder will work wonders.” – Hexagram #38 CONTRADICTION, The I Ching Workbook, R.L. Wing
Soul Resources To Navigate Contradiction:

As as always, Kuan Yin has offered her help and assistance through a specially chosen collection of Transformation Games, Mind Exercises and Self-care Formulas. This year, she is advising us move through the CONTRADICTIONS with special cooperative arrangements with Plant and Animal Totems from Gifts from the Rainforest. She says, ” “It is much easier to do the right thing when you are in good company. Following good examples with lead you to success.”

Are You Communicating Moderation?
Communicating With Moderation In the New Paradigm.
Kuan Yin has been helping us to transition out of the old status quo into a new paradigm based on equity, co-operation and sustainable prosperity. Her advice about communicating through moderation springs from the I Ching, an ancient book of divination that follows the flow of the cosmos. Because of that, her insight comes from a different perspective than ours.
Kuan Yin’s Transformation Games 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 her words. Your intuition will come forward and give you the help that you seek.
First – Evaluate Your Situation for the Danger Signs of Shock ~

Let’s face it. The past few years have been filled with one extreme and jarring piece of news after another. Shock is something that we deal with every day. It’s important to give yourself and others a break by realizing that you might be stuck in a survival pattern because you’ve been listening to so many shocking communications.
If you are overwhelmed by how someone is communicating, it’s very likely that you’re experiencing SHOCK from some past or present form of DANGER.
If you’ve been triggered by a traumatic event from the past, go to Healing Emotional Shock before going through this game.
If you’ve living through a shocking and traumatic event that’s happening right now, go to Resolving Shock from Traumatic Events first.
Once you’ve cleared up your experience of shock, this game will be much more effective for you.
Welcome to the I Ching Reading and Transformation Game for: Hexagram #29 Danger and #15 – Moderation
“In times of difficulty and danger, it’s usually best to move with the flow of MODERATION, Hexagram #15, where ‘The predominant forces … are in the process of balancing extremes and harmonizing interests.’
The second changing line from Hexagram #29 DANGER indicates that ‘The DANGER is great and cannot be surmounted with one single action…’ ~ The I Ching Workbook, R.L. Wing
Following the flow of MODERATION as the best way to make progress amidst great difficulty. The suggestion is to disengage from confusing extremes or opinionated attitudes and instead, follow the guidance that comes from within so that balance can be re-established. In almost any situation, if you are able to travel on the middle road between extremes, there will be improvement in whatever you undertake.”
Communicating Through Moderation Puts You In a Different Flow of Energy ~
As a general rule, MODERATION is the most sensible flow to follow, especially since so much karma is playing out in the wake of environmental, political and social change. Contradictory mindsets have been fully activated and must be dealt with in one way or the other.
Just to clarify what we mean by karma here –
Karma = Cause & Effect
I have a thought. I make a decision. I act on the decision.
Whatever I have followed through on has natural consequences.
Cause & Effect. Karma.
Most people are navigating through one or another of these general karmic patterns:
- Getting sucked into a negative malaise of mental, emotional, physical or spiritual decline.
- Stuck in a gridlock of hatred or rebellious refusal to change.
- Getting scattered or revisiting survival patterns from the past, or
- Pulling themselves together into a centered position of empowered authority.
Initial Evaluation: As you softly gaze at this Circle, see which of these patterns you are currently experiencing. Ask yourself:
“Am I generally experiencing pattern #1, 2, 3 or 4?”
It could easily be a mix, depending on your mindset and what stage of the karma you’re living through.
Continue to relax into yourself for a moment or two while you contemplate the answer you get.
Regardless of what’s happening, you can make your life easier by letting go of old patterns, agreements or communication karma that’s ready to be transmuted. This game will help you do that.
Mind Body Integration
For best results, look at each symbol both crossed over the midline of the body and uncrossed so that the correction is more complete.
Feel free to move at any time in any way to help you embody your experience!
Let’s Begin By Calming the Stress in Your Nervous System.
Your nervous system and your ability to communicate are intricately interrelated. Use this Circle for homeostasis to gently collect information about your nervous system and what will help to calm you down.
“I calm down and relax into the rhythm of my Soul.”
Take another few minutes to breathe deeply with the intention of coming back into rhythm with your Soul. Listen to your heartbeat and slow down. Let all that external noise from the outside move out.
If you’ve been in traffic, shopping at the super market or watching television, know that your nervous system takes all that in – and often doesn’t know what to do with it.
It would probably help for you to move around, stretch – or make circular movements until you feel your tension releasing. Take all the time you need with this.
Restore your sense of Self with this Circle. Gaze at it softly and remember an activity that you’ve always liked – probably something creative that brings you joy. Relax into it or keep moving if you like.
Does a particular color come to mind?
If you can make it stronger, that’s the color that resonates with your Soul!
Soulful, creative activities help you to get back into your Center and being in your Center is a big help to communicating with moderation.
“I know who I am and I know what’s important to me.
I am learning to communicate through the energy of my Soul.”
If you like to sing, tone or hum, this would be a good time to enjoy them.
We have been going through an intense period of unstable and conflicting energies and you may be having quite a reaction to all the CHANGING that continues to play out. Bring your body back into balance by consciously breathing in on the count of three and slowly exhaling on the count of five. It’s helpful if you can breathe in through your nose.
Do that three or four times while you gaze softly at this Reiki Chakra Key that stabilizes the sacrum.
Continue breathing and bring your awareness to your tailbone.
What communication do you need to get in balance about?
Let Go of Harmful Karmic Agreements.
Now that you know what you really need to communicate about, Use this Soul Contract Circle to help you release social, familial or religious contracts that are harmful or would pull you out of integrity with your Soul.
Gaze softly at the Circle and imagine you can send a cleansing violet flame up and down your spine while you use the affirmations:
“I release any agreement that says I’m powerless about what I communicate or how my Soul wants me to do it.”
“I free myself of other people’s expectations. What my Soul wants to communicate is important.”
“I communicate my needs and priorities clearly and calmly.”
“I am communicating with care, compassion and _____________.”
Don’t Forget to Let Go of Your Old Agreements with the Status Quo.
The old paradigm was a system built on extreme greed and exploitation enforced through oppressive social, religious and moral contracts. Most of us are still operating out of them to one degree the other because they’ve been wired into how we go about doing our business.
It would be wise to release our agreements with that system and set up new agreements in the New Paradigm that are generative and life affirming. Especially agreements about how we communicate. This won’t just happen on its own. We need to be proactive and intentional if we want to move out of extreme communications and behavior.
“I uproot my agreements to stay stuck in or comply with harmful communication patterns from the status quo.”
“I release agreements to communicate through manipulations of the old status quo.”
(shame, blame, inequity, deceit, greed, prejudice, intimidation, hatred, contradictions, dishonesty, co-dependence, etc.)
“I decide to reorganize my communications around simple principles of co-operation, equity and sustainable prosperity.”
Let Go of Agreements to Communicate Through Stagnant Yin Energy.
The flow of Water goes down and follows the path of least resistance. When it accumulates, it can easily get stuck and stagnate.

Whenever this happens, communication becomes far more easily misconstrued, diverted, ambiguous, distorted and wishy-washy. This “stuck” condition relates to current social tendencies such as apathy, resistance, self-pity and laziness. Think about the difference between how sound travels under Water and how it travels through the Air. Underwater, sounds are slow moving and muffled. You would be wise to release your agreements to utilize this very stagnant energy flow.
“I release all agreements to be attracted to or utilize Stagnant Yin Energy to heal or process emotions.”
Utilize pure Water to process the emotional aspects of communication.
Instead, make a conscious choice to activate a new relationship with the Element of Water – fresh and purified to gently clear emotions, imbalances and muddy, murky communications.
This affirmation will help you make an actual adjustment in how you relate to and utilize this precious resource:
“I now make a conscious decision to use pure, life affirming Water to process my emotions for communicating MODERATION.”
Release Your Agreements to Get Pulled Back into the Past.
We need to be able to find new ways to communicate that aren’t just reruns of what has happened before.
“I release my agreements with contradictory, pushy behaviors
that pull me into chaos, violence or no-win situations.”
“I choose to communicate in a positive way with the calm, generative flow of MODERATION and Divine Protection.”
Invoke Protection and Clarity of Mind:
“I close down all harmful energy channels from the old paradigm.”
“I connect with the center of this symbol to calibrate how I communicate through the new generative life force of the Aquarian Age (Air).”
Let Go of Intentions That You Don’t Need Anymore.
Check your old intentions with family, friends or business relationships that interfere with your ability to communicate more effectively. Release dishonest or extreme forms of communication like coercion, intimidation or hypocrisy. Think about old jobs or organizations you’ve been involved with – religious institutions, political agendas, educational systems, ways of doing business, etc. You don’t have to hold them up or support them anymore!
“I let go of out-dated or harmful intentions about ___________.”
“I let go of harmful intentions that other people may want me to fulfill.”
To replace them, consider carefully what new intentions would actually serve you now. Do they need to be clarified, simplified or re-organized? What do you need to have happen for yourself? “I need to ____________.”
Decide to Stop People Pleasing.
The desire to fit in at any cost is one of the most fundamental ways we do harm to ourselves. This desire can often be so extreme, we put ourselves at risk by leaving ourselves wide open to unscrupulous people who are willing to exploit us.
“I decide to respect and have faith in myself. My worth does not come from my family or other people’s opinions of me.”
“I decide to follow the middle road, based on inner guidance and self-worth.”
“I decide to __________ while I’m communicating with moderation.”
Stop Taking On Other People’s Karma.
In times of increased confusion and chaos, it’s common for people who want to avoid responsibility to systemically dump their problems and karma onto whoever will accept the blame.
If you’ve been trained to feel anxious when other people are unhappy, you might trap yourself by taking on more than your own karma. You can clarify this with the next Circle by asking these questions:
“What is my karma in this situation? What am I actually responsible for? How can I set things right in a way that’s actually helpful?”
“I let go of my karma to mistake other people’s karma for mine.
I am clear about what karma is mine and what karma belongs to others.
I let go of the temptation to repeat unpreferred karmic patterns.”
“I utilize my own karma to manifest _______________.”
When we try to handle other peoples karma for them, we are inadvertently complicating things by preventing things from working themselves out naturally.
To help you avoid this trap and set things right, use this symbol with the affirmations to release attachments to survival patterns from the past:
“I let go of attachments and obligations.”
“I detach from fearful, sticky or toxic energies.”
Like a healing balm, imagine that a loving coat of peace and comfort is pouring down over you!
You can also get some help smoothing out CONTRADICTIONS and other jarring energies with this Key:
“I remove reversals and jagged energies.”
“I have a clear and direct connection with my Soul,
my resources and my own karma.”
Get centered and reorient yourself appropriately. These positive affirmations will help:
“I am inside of me. Everything else is outside of me.”
“I am centered and aware of where I am.”
Dissolve the Blueprints of Harmful and Extreme Communications.
Use this symbol to identify any mental, emotional or spiritual patterns that are keeping you attached, pulling you back or holding you down. See them dissolve completely as you surrender them to the Light:
“I dissolve any miscommunications, misunderstandings, dogmatic assumptions or mistaken ideas that obscure clear communication.”
“I let go of my angst and co-dependence and surrender them to the Light.
I dissolve my survival patterns and any connection I have ever had to them.”
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!
Relax and Take Your Time with These DNA Symbols.
“I gently take my self destructive tendencies apart and make a connection with my deepest, wisest Self.”
“I let go of harsh, judgmental communications …
… and now focus on solutions that are respectful to all.”
“I now communicate directly and honestly in accordance with the highest good.”
Allow the Auras Around Your Body to Repair and Refocus ~
“I refocus and repair my auras.”
“My auric field is strong and organized to protect my health and integrity.”
To finish, it’s important to completely close the door on all that suffering and miscommunications…
Close the door on holes or pathways that lead back to poor or extreme communications. Take all the time you need. There are probably a lot of them.
“All holes are sealed and healed.”
“I follow the direction of my Soul’s protection.”
“I let go. I stop communicating through abuse, manipulation, cruelty or violence.”
Close the doors both crossed and uncrossed over the midline of your body.
Congratulations for Communicating with MODERATION on the Middle Road! You probably feel much more balance. Go back to the Initial Evaluation for the game and see what’s changed.
Now that you’ve made choices about the flow of moderation you can bring order and new happiness into your environment!
For many people, following MODERATION and the middle road signifies an opportunity to go within and expel deep patterns of fanaticism within their psyche so that they can evolve and arise from that pattern, much as a beautiful lotus arises from the muck and mire at the bottom of a pond.”
