Transmuting with the Snake
Transmuting Limitations with the Snake Totem
If you have chosen Snake to be your Guide…
“You’re ready to go beyond the extreme ‘either/or’ mentality and graduate to the ‘and’ consciousness of balance and unity… Like the snake, you have transcended the limitations of who you thought you were…
Ask: Is there a fundamental change in yourself or a relationship that needs to be consciously attended to? What extreme behavior are you ready to shed?” ~ Gifts from the Rainforest by Rheanni Lightwater
Note: Some Games require a password. Full access to Animal Totem Tracks is through Paid Membership in our Learning Community! Coming soon – 2024.
What Process Is Best for Me – Right Now?
Many of you have asked, “There’s so many Games and Exercises here in the Intuitive Learning Circle – how do I know which one is right for me?
Since we’re here to help you develop your intuition, it’s only natural that we would come up with a simple & fun way to decide – using your intuition!
First of all, it’s true that we have quite a few self-healing offerings, so below you’ll find a list of games that will help the Snake in you shed her old skins.
There are 5 categories to choose from ~
I: Cosmos
II: Family
III: Environment
IV: Livelihood and
V: Self
Each category has a selection of games listed underneath which are numbered 1, 2 and 3.
The first step is to take a moment and think about what’s going on for you and then look at the Snake Totem and ask your heart:
“What category would be most useful for me to look at now?”
Once you have the category number, ask yourself:
“Which number in that category represents the best self healing process for me right now – or is the best place to start?”
Remember to take the very first number that comes to you, because that is your Inner Wisdom speaking or your intuition. If more than one number comes up, write them all down in the order they came to you.
Once you have your number, scroll down the list and check out that process. You might be surprised at what you chose, because intuition doesn’t always makes sense at first. However, I suggest that you trust your first response and explore the exercise anyway. See if it pertains to your situation and feels right.
This is the intuitive way to determine which exercise is best for you right now!
Suggestion: Early on in your journey with Snake, go through Open Your Heart and Make Friends to develop a truly co-operative relationship!

Handle Irritations Before They Handle You
Is the Way You Handle Irritations Working for You or Impairing Your Health?
Do you handle irritations by flying off the handle, cursing out loud, or is it more like a slow burn? Some people are able to ignore their feelings, put on a happy face and set their grievances aside only to wind up paying for it much later with serious health problems.
Certainly, it seems that everywhere and every day, there are plenty of things to be irritated about. However, are you letting them drain your energy or sour your mood? Do they keep you up at night? Are you dangerously close to lashing out at others, even those that you hold most dear?
Well, if that’s happening, you’re certainly not alone. These are all ways that we keep “scratching the itch” and make bad situations worse.
This is a great subject to journal about for your own personal growth. You can turn irritations into positive progress, and this Mind Exercise is here to help you do that.
Simply relax and gaze at the Intuitive Learning Circles while contemplating the accompanying positive affirmations and questions. Going through the process will help you discover how well you’re handling irritations and what you can do to improve.
So, get out a pen and paper and let’s get started…
An irritation is there to alert you of a problem. Use Chigger Medicine to slow down and tune into what’s bothering you.
What is a problem that’s been irritating you? Pick one and write it down.
Often, an irritation communicates on several levels. Ask yourself:
“How is this irritation affecting me physically?
Mentally?
Emotionally?
What about spiritually?”
Does it remind you of something that has happened before? If so, how far back does it go?
In what ways do you keep “scratching the itch?”
Is that working for you? If not, are you open to an alternative path?
Keep writing until you feel confident you’ve gotten all the information.
MIND BODY INTEGRATION
For best results, look at each Circle both crossed over the midline of the body and uncrossed so that the correction is more complete.
Engage in a Change in Perception to Help You Handle Irritations.
Because of recent changes in your life, It’s possible that your sense of this irritation needs a shift in focus. Look at your situation from a different angle or through a different filter. You can get some help with that by relaxing with these affirmations:
“I reclaim and balance my five senses.”
“I use them to become aware of how my environment or situation has changed.”
“I focus them to be present and aware of my current needs.”
“I gain clear awareness of alternative paths that hold beneficial resources, solutions, opportunities and _________.”
At any point In this exercise, you may need to handle blockages or reversals in your chakras or energy field.
Use this symbol to help you smooth out any reversals, glitches or jagged edges.
“I bring my energy system back into balance and flow.”
This may take several minutes, however, it’s well worth whatever time it takes.
You will know you’re done when you can take regular, deep breaths.
Relax and let this Circle help you adjust the volume on your senses so you can handle irritations from a more balanced point of view.
Some may be turned up too high, causing anxiety, tension and/or misinformation about what’s really going on. That happens most often with the senses of feeling and hearing. You can use this Circle to help you adjust the volume up or down to just the right level.
Relax and allow your mind to adjust to the best level for clear perception:
Bring your senses into balance and perceive your situation with clarity.
Check in with Fly Medicine to see if your energy is getting drained by this situation.
If so, can you tell how often it happens? Does something seem to trigger it? What goes on mentally?
It probably wouldn’t surprise you if a lot of what’s irritating you is the fact that it’s so draining! Take a few moments to consciously take apart old habits and close down the drains to your energy – like old plumbing lines that need to be closed down completely.
Check Into Emotional Patterns with Alligator Medicine.
Are there other emotional constructs such as compulsions, obsessions, attitudes, addictions, phobias or allergic reactions involved?
In this new energy, you might just be able to collapse them.
Emotional constructs don’t have the same power over you that they used to. What you decide about them has more importance now.
Go ahead and see what happens when you decide to collapse the emotional structures that are jumping around in your mind and causing you harm.
Get centered with Starlight to make sure that you’re navigating this situation correctly.
See yourself in the center, open space of the Circle and re-orient yourself.
Are you beginning to understand your irritation differently now?
Do you need to reorganize your thoughts? If so, how?
Are you going in the right direction to solve the problem?
What really matters here?
Let Praying Mantis help you focus on solutions.
This is a good time to write down specifics to help you clear away extraneous mental and emotional clutter. Get all that stress off of you by getting it down on paper.
What are some potential solutions in this situation that would really make a difference?
It might help to move, stretch, draw, doodle or journal via a stream of consciousness. Art often brings in creative inspiration and self-care from your Soul!
Let Rat Medicine help you get specific about what needs to happen to clear the irritation.
Is this situation genuinely detrimental to your physical, mental, emotional health? What about the spiritual level?
Is there something that needs to be cleared out? Re-arranged? Moved? Added? Does something need to be reorganized or removed entirely?
This could be internal or external in your physical environment.
* If you have a copy of The Essential Human, now would be a good time to use the process on page 10 to help you make corrections for a healthy and full expression of the power that comes from your Essential Self. Choose from The Essential Human charts #1 – 42.
Detach from harmful emotional patterns and connect with beneficial qualities that will help you in this new energy.
Check in with Armadillo to see if any parts of you are still pulling your experience from dangerous or nightmarish experiences you’ve had in the past.
Are you protecting yourself appropriately?
If you are, Congratulations! You can be done with this exercise.
If you’re not, is there a number from The Essential Human between #1 – 42 that would help you make the correction?
To Continue: Clear attachments and residual toxic energies.
There may be something attached to you that you’re not aware of. It could be an irritation that comes from toxic exposure or an emotional attack that could cause allergies and even addictions.
Like a healing balm, imagine that a loving coat of peace and comfort is pouring down over you.
Attachments and conflicts are melting away. Relax. Breathe. Take your time and move around if you need to.
Make sure that your energy isn’t scattered or being drained anymore.
If it’s not complete, what else do you think is needed?
Make a note of what that is so that you remember to follow through.
Pull back any parts of you that are getting sucked into a negative situation.
Close the drain for good.
Realign with your Soul.
Are you open to the positive vibration of your Soul?
Are you willing to slow down and let your Soul help you in this situation?
Most importantly, are you willing to forgive yourself so that you can let go of your irritation?
If so, this is a good time to let a white light of forgiveness clear away any darkness from around you. Stay with it until it’s cleared completely. Be sure you feel at peace with yourself.
“I forgive myself for getting irritated.”
If you are Attuned to Reiki, this is a perfect time to use it!
Excellent!
Bring closure by closing any leaks, holes or pathways that might leave you open to that irritation and the problems it brings.
“All holes are sealed and healed.
I follow the direction of my Soul’s protection.”
It’s time to get yourself grounded.
Notice how much better you feel. You will feel even better if you are grounded. What do you need to do to get yourself fully grounded in the present?
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.

Help For Learning Difficulties
Do You Struggle with Learning Difficulties?
I’ve learned from experience that what others may call a disease or disability can become the foundation for brilliance, innovation and thinking outside the box.
I was raised in a time before ADD, ADHD or Dyslexia had names. In the fifties and early sixties, kids like me didn’t have learning difficulties, we were simply labelled slow, troublemakers or stupid. Judging from the amount of time I spent in the principle’s office, I was probably put into the troublemaker category pretty early on!
Learning Difficulties: The Genius of Thinking Differently
I remember when I was just beginning to learn how to write my name in cursive. I was trying to figure out which hand worked better making all those loops and curly-ques. While experimenting with my left hand, my second grade teacher came over to me and plucked the pencil right out of my hand. “You don’t want to use that hand,” she barked, “only bad people are left handed.”
I didn’t like that teacher much so, at that moment I made a decision. I was going to be left-handed just to spite her! To this day, I am quasi-ambidextrous – I write with my left hand and do just about everything else with my right.
Similarly, I had learning difficulties getting my b’s and d’s right. They always seemed to get mixed up in my mind. I was restless in class because I had trouble concentrating and following what the teacher said was unbearable to me. In my early 20’s I even experienced stuttering because I literally couldn’t think of anything to say when in conversation. My mind would go completely blank, which was humiliating to me.
I know that most of the time, advice from teachers, family and friends was meant to help. They just couldn’t understand why I had learning difficulties or what to do about them. Unfortunately, having a mind that’s wired differently meant that techniques that worked well for others, didn’t work well for me.
Much later in life, I started to accept that doing things the way that other people did them just wasn’t going to work for me. I was eventually forced to accept that my learning difficulties had to do with early childhood trauma when a family crisis put me into a full-fledged case of PTSD.
It took me quite a while to get my bearings again, but once I decided that it was okay to be different – outside of the approval of my family – my life took a sharp turn for the better. I stopped beating myself up and started to embrace the things that came naturally to me. I went into bodywork and somatic education together with hypnotherapy, Reiki and mind/body energy work. I began to experience a satisfaction and success that I had never known before. Finally, I was allowing the way I was wired to lead me into exciting new fields of discovery and innovation!
I set to work learning about and putting together techniques from many different disciplines to help me and my clients, many of whom were highly sensitive people with similar learning difficulties. I developed a whole system of tools for better focus and concentration using muscle testing. I’ve also found that they can help with emotional healing, reducing stress and providing a way to activate advanced states of intuition and creativity.
Today, I use those tools to find solutions together with my clients and students – whether the issue is in their body, their thinking process or their environment. I call them the Intuitive Learning Circles and now I’m making them available to other people, like you – so that you can also experience the beauty and genius of thinking differently.
