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.

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!

4. Raven – When Raven shows up, you know that something internally has either changed, is changing or needs to change. Engaging with change consciously supports the core of your integrity and wellbeing.
What, if anything, needs to change, reorder or recover?
Healing Action: When something’s not working or out of order, be willing to change. Follow your common sense to get the flow going again. Reclaim your gifts by connecting with your Higher Self and core energy.
Wings of Change
Raven represents the principle of change.
She lives in harmony with the times
and adapts to both city and country life.
That’s why there are so many of her
brothers and sisters everywhere you look!
Let her teach you how to prosper
in any circumstance.
Remember, it’s not the circumstances
of your life that are causing you stress –
it’s how you’re responding to your circumstances.
A critical mind will try to resist change
and in so doing, will bring pain and suffering to the body.
All things must change.
Let go.
Go with the flow.

Further Exploration into Raven Medicine:
Raven Medicine
Ravens are known as tricksters, though sometimes they’re just showing up to ask: “How are you tricking yourself?”
When you get too attached to an idea or goal, your ego can get enchanted by visions that somebody else holds for you. Perhaps others are thinking they can get you to do what they want by repeating the same message over and over again. Raven wants you to think for yourself. What’s really going on here?
It would be wise to learn how to use your intuition to access common sense. Wake up from your trance by sorting out the truth from the fiction. See what happens when you stop investing in what others want and invest in yourself first.
Ravens are also known to bestow gifts on those who make friends with them so paying attention to the concept of gifts, gifting and being gifted are part of her medicine. For example, if someone has given you a gift, how are you using it? Is it benefitting you or is it time to move it on?
Is it time to share a gift you have with others?
Have you given your gifts away too freely?
Raven says, “Clear sight and high self-esteem are the result of clear thinking.” Gaze into her Circle and ask to become aware of a special gift you have that you’ve been ignoring.
Are you being so envious of other people’s gifts that you’re not appreciating your own? There are some skills you’re really good at and others you are not. This is true for everyone. No one is better than you because of what they know or do. Learn to be patient with your shortcomings.
Most importantly, Raven could be warning you that you need to recover core energy (personal power) as soon as possible. Perhaps someone has been thinking up some mischief for you to fall into by confusing you and messing with how you’re using your energy. If that’s the case, your ability to change or use your gifts properly is severely impaired. Look at the Circle and ask your Soul to help you clear the mix up and regain your power.

Pull Back and Redirect Your Life Force with Lizard Medicine ~
Self-care and Personal Growth through Gifts from the Rainforest:
9. The Lizard is very pragmatic about self-preservation and deftly instructs us on how to quickly let go of whatever is threatening our safety or personal integrity.
Do you need to let go of a dream that’s turned into a nightmare?
Are you overly invested in an abusive person, institution or ideology?
If so, what can you do?
Healing Action: Separate from obligations and allegiances that connect you with falsehood. Drop life destructive plans or relationships in favor of life affirming ones.
A Lizard’s Tale
The lizard is a master of adaptation.
She can change her color to blend
into her environment.
She can stand remarkably still
and run remarkably fast.
If her enemies grab her by the tail,
she simply lets it go
and grows a new one.
She knows that life is a dream
and she is the dreamer.
She cannot control her circumstances,
but she can control how she reacts to them.
Listen to her sage advice:
“It is better to lose your tail than to lose your life.
You can always grow a new one.”
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 Lizard Medicine:
Any experience in life or the dreamtime requires an investment of energy, time, space and/or attention. If you’re having trouble with an experience, the best, most peaceful way to handle it is to cut off the investment from your end.
You may think you’re fine, yet the Lizard is here to warn you that you’re deceiving yourself in a fundamental way. Others are trying to hold you to standards or expectations that are harmful to your health and wellbeing. It’s time, maybe even past time, to chase down the possibilities and make corrections. Befriend the Lizard and ask her Circle:
Are you being overly naive about certain people, establishments or belief systems and not seeing them as they truly are behaving?
Are you being taken advantage of by others by doing their work for them or trying to make up for their indiscretions? Do you have your Free Will?
Are you tying yourself down to duty and obligation? What is the purpose in doing that?
Are you confused about what the true meaning of love and friendship is?
What does your intuition tell you about what’s really going on in this situation?
Be honest with yourself, what is the real reason you’re feeling obligated?
Look at the Circle again to help you know what to do about your situation:
Accept the damage and the truth of your situation.
Make a plan for letting go.
Know what you must do to follow through.
Once you deal with the changes you must make, you will realize that letting go is often a blessing in disguise.

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

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.

Establish Personal Energy and Boundaries with Stingray Medicine
Self-care and Personal Growth through Gifts from the Rainforest
#13 Stingray Medicine – can detect and repel foreign energies that cause harm, conflict or confusion. Align your intentions with your energy to keep healthy boundaries.
Are you feeling victimized or under attack? If so, what would help?
Is there something you need to do to protect the integrity of your personal energy?
Healing Action: Access information about your personal space. Position yourself in relation to others correctly. Activate protection with a shamanic “Ring of Fire.”
Respecting the Stingray
The Stingray swiftly and surely repels its predators.
It is not malicious, yet it leaves no room for
error or indifference.
Those who are ignorant of its powerful presence
will promptly learn to be cautious and distance
themselves from his territory.
There are times on our spiritual journey when
nothing less than Stingray medicine is called for.
Separate yourself from error, ignorance,
doubt, and indifference in whatever form it takes.
There is no error in this.
Listen to Stingray when he says:
“Keep your eyes looking forward on all that is
good and true and repel the rest.”

Further Exploration into Stingray Medicine:
Stingray Medicine
Stingray medicine is about protection and the importance of maintaining healthy boundaries if you want to live in wholeness and integrity. For example, if you’re a people pleaser, it may be that you’re so used to multiple energies hanging around that you don’t realize they’re not you! Regardless of why they’re there, it’s best to move them out of your field as soon as possible.
To solve your dilemma, return to the source of your true nature and connect with gratitude.
Ask yourself a few honest questions: Do you tend to take on other people’s energy in order to get along with them better? Do other people often take advantage of you? What would happen if you could say “no” without guilt or excuses? Do you feel pulled this way and that?
Examine your intentions and see if they line up with what’s actually happening. If you’re confused by what you see, that immediately explains why things have not been going the way you’ve wanted them to. Clear intentions get clear results.
Look into the middle of Stingray’s Circle and ask: “What is my intention?” Wait for a clear answer to come back. Then ask, “Is my energy matching up with that intention?”
If your intention is unclear, ask your heart, “How can I properly communicate what I want? Do I have my free will?”
To make a correction in your energy, keep affirming your intention in the present tense while gazing at the Circle. You may be guided to other Helpers or processes to shift your energy and ground firmly in your intention.
When you send a clear and unified message, there can be no confusion about what you intend to do. If someone is interfering with your intentions, visualize a Ring of Fire around you for protection and then suggest an alternate path for them to take.

#49 Old Sol – like the Sun, the Soul is ever present. When we allow Soul guidance and access the wisdom of our Higher Selves, we hold that same power of Light within.
What does your Soul want to communicate?
What guidance do you need?
Are you feeling disconnected? If so, what would help?
Healing Action: Breathe and open your heart. Calm, clear connection to our Higher Wisdom helps us access intuition and unconditional Love.
Old Sol
When we were children, there was a presence
that was with us always.
It knew who we were and what we came here to experience.
Some would call it the Soul.
As we grew up, we were taught about
losing and winning, bad and good, male and female.
Soon we forgot who we were and became “socialized” instead.
The mind became more and more important
and Soul faded further into the background.
Nevertheless, it is still there – just like the Sun,
emitting life, love, and joy
whether we can see it or not.
It is time to reclaim our connection with this inner knowing
and let it show us the way back to the garden.
Breathe deeply and listen to your heart.

Further Exploration into Soul Guidance from Old Sol:
Old Sol – The Sun
It’s time to get back in contact with your Soul. The ego has been telling you wild and complicated stories, complete with the good guys and the bad guys. This condition has prevented your freedom and kept you trapped in loneliness and isolation. Allow others to be close to you by dropping your defenses. You are not alone and you never have been. Unfortunately, the ego doesn’t understand the larger story about love and the decision about whether or not you want more of it in your life.
Learn to recognize the differences between the Soul and the small mind:
~ The critical ego doesn’t like to take chances; the heart and Soul thrive on them.
~ The critical ego idealizes the past; the heart and Soul live in the present.
~ The critical ego fears the future; the heart and Soul embrace it.
Gently meditate on Old Sol, open your heart and let love heal it. If you are confused, imagine you can bring your awareness and attention into the center, open space of the Circle. Once you have that focus, ask any question you like and allow the answer to come back through a clear channel between you and your Soul. When you really pay attention and make room for your Soul’s presence, you’ll quickly learn that you’re loved and accepted unconditionally.
This medicine can also alert you as to whether you’re being pushy, over active or running too hot. Ask: “What is really needed here?” Slow down and listen to what your Soul has to say.

Self-care and Personal Growth through Gifts from the Rainforest
#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:
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.
