Resolving Shock During Traumatic Events
This self-care formula uses the Intuitive Learning Circle method for resolving shock when your life has been upended and you are:
Feeling scattered, surprised, scared or vulnerable- Reliving painful experiences
- Having trouble thinking or planning clearly.
Our SOS self-care formulas are a form of self-hypnosis combined with energy healing that has been used for resolving shock, enhancing intuition and facilitating positive change since 2001. This particular formula offers a gentle opportunity to process difficult experiences, heal emotional stress and explore positive ways to respond.
Resolving Shock is associated with the I Ching Hexagram #51 SHOCKING:
“In human affairs it can manifest as a shocking turn of events, an unpredictable, cataclysmic occurrence inspired by invisible but irresistible forces… A heightened experience of the forces that affect your life will bring you into close contact with the inner workings of your nature.” ~ The I Ching Workbook, R.L Wing
Any person involved in a traumatic event could experience disorientation, numbness, mental confusion or fragmentation. They might even get stuck in the energy of the trauma. This includes people who are witness to traumatic experiences in some way.
Sometimes people who’ve experienced a shocking event will tell you that they’re fine and not to worry about them. That’s because one of the main symptoms of being in shock is not being aware of being in shock. Why is that? During a shock, the mind goes blank as a form of protection.
Contrary to popular opinion, having a shock response is not a sign of weakness. It is an important way that we protect ourselves. Nevertheless, if someone who has experienced shock doesn’t get a chance to relax and separate from the experience – or if they’re not able to – serious problems can develop, including ptsd. Scattered energy and a constant state of fight or flight takes its toll over time. Statements like: “I can’t think of anything positive,” “my life is falling apart” or “I feel so drained” describe the experience of ongoing, unresolved shock.
If any of the above seems familiar, you can go through this mind exercise to help you access your own innate healing abilities. Simply follow the directions step by step and gently pull your energy back into the present.
Mind Body Integration
The brain and body communicate through different channels when a part of you is crossed over the center of your body. As you go through the steps, cross and uncross a hand or foot over the midline of your body when you gaze at each Circle. Use a soft focus and breathe patiently. This will help you integrate your thinking more fully so that you can be more creative. If you have any negative self-talk, let it go by breathing through it.
Feel free to move at anytime in any way to help you embody your experience!
Resolving Shock and Confusion
Step One:
You may have just gone through a painful experience, a disruption in your life or been triggered by a traumatic memory from the past. If so, you probably need to resolve a shock or a fixated idea that’s keeping you stuck in the pain. Take several deep breaths and relax while you look at this Circle that releases shock and inner conflict.
Imagine that the lines are relaxing and turning into spaghetti. Your mind might seem chaotic, confusing or blank, if so relax into whatever it is. You may get a conscious image or message or you may not.
Once you have a sense that your mind has found the blockage, imagine that it’s like an iceberg and the Sun is melting it away with a beautiful beam of light.
Allow it to melt until it’s completely gone.
Check for other blockages or conflicts that you can do the same with.
Step Two:
In situations like this, there’s too much going on and you don’t want to scatter. Your mind may have too many windows open – like on a computer screen.
Let this Circle help you close the tabs in your mind to help you feel better and more contained.
Step Three:
The environment is changing and you need to protect yourself. Relax with this symbol and close down all harmful energy channels that your mind or body may be open and vulnerable to.
If you like, ask your Soul for divine protection.
Step Four:
Don’t forget to stay hydrated. Make sure you’re drinking plenty of fresh water. If you swish it around in your mouth before you swallow, the water will go where it needs to go faster and more efficiently.
Water is your good friend. Especially now!
Step Five:
A lot is changing. Gather up your mental, emotional, spiritual and physical resources. What’s most important for you to include?
Step Six:
Your senses may have been knocked out of balance. Reconnect with them and focus on being present. Use them to become aware of your body and what you need right now.
Re-orient yourself in your environment, especially if it’s changed.
Take whatever time you need to focus on actions that will bring you back into balance and benefit your well-being. You may want to write ideas down because it’s easy to forget.
Step Seven:
Your energy probably needs some balancing. Go through this short sequence to make repairs and get back in order:
A) Get help clearing your energy field of toxins. Use this Key to relax and mend any energetic wounds that are associated with smoke, chemicals or other negative energies.
Like a healing balm, imagine that a loving coat of peace and comfort is pouring down over you.
B) When a person is under extreme stress, their energy can become blocked, scattered, reversed or even shut down completely.
Let this Key help you make corrections and repair any glitches, holes or jagged energies in your system.
Keep relaxing with it until the energy smooths out and you begin to sense the calming energy of your Soul coming through.
C) Keep your wits about you. Clear away dark and heavy thoughts.
Use this Circle to imagine you can infuse your body with light and Love. Doing so will help to remove fear, negativity and darkness from your energy field.
Dispense with the darkness by sending it to the Light for purification.
D) Bring your attention to your own heart center. Imagine you can connect with your Source and activate the Light that lives within you.
You are never alone.
Step Eight:
Now it’s time to turn down the volume on all the noise from outside. As you breathe deeply, let this Circle help you to adjust the volume and pitch of your senses to just the right level.
Not too high and not too low – just right.
Soon you will be able to hear that calm, gentle voice inside that reminds you about what matters the most to you.
Let yourself be sad if you need to be. Tears are a sign of letting go of shock.
Step Nine:
It also helps to open and close your hands to get more present. Move your fingers and wiggle your toes around. Notice the time and where you are. These actions all help whenever you’re resolving shock.
Step Ten:
Now you can let your nervous system calm down too. Slow down and listen to the rhythm of your heart.
You’re feeling better with every breath you take.
Move around in any way that you instinctively feel you need.
Step Eleven:
Oftentimes, resolving shock and confusion requires a change in priorities. There may be certain plans, ideas or thoughts that make you feel distressed. You can use this symbol for dissolving destructive blueprints to help you identify them and dissolve whatever is distressing you.
Simply imagine that the negative patterns in your mind are like dark clouds or a tangled maze of confusion.
Surrender the darkness into the pure light of the Sun and let the maze dissolve completely.
You’ll know that you’re done when your mind feels clear enough to visualize you standing in a beautiful field with the Sun shining down upon you.
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 Twelve:
Before you finish with this formula, take a minute to seal and heal any holes, leaks or openings in your energy field.
Do that both crossed and uncrossed over the midline of your body.
Your mind and nervous system need closure.
Step Thirteen:
Finally, let your heart recover. This Key helps you balance your heart energy and clear away any residual heaviness. Breathe deeply and take your time.
Feel any remaining heaviness lifting up and out of your heart. Let it radiate out to the Light where it can be transformed.
Take care of yourself and remember that you are loved.

Retrain Your Mind To Go For Joy
Why does joy elude us? Because the mind is busy going for other things. Like “winning,” being “right,” “desirable” or “perfect.”
Yet, when you retrain your mind to go for “joy” rather than “perfection,” amazing things start to happen…
For a lot of us, a tremendous amount of our energy has been focused on externally sourced goals. We try so hard to win, to look good, to escape punishment or to be “right.” Sadly, many of us are taught that we’re supposed to be perfect, so that’s what we’ve trained the mind to go for.
But what does “perfection” mean? Whose definition of being perfect are we using? Our parents? Mom? Dad? Our boss? Our family? Religion? The media? All of these definitions are externally sourced and full of contradictions.
More often than not, “perfection” simply means doing what somebody else wants us to do. No wonder so many of us are spinning around, chasing after a hundred different things! Going for perfection usually creates pressure, confusion and an overwhelmed mind!
0n the other hand, going for joy usually creates more joy – which connects us with our true creative spark, which seems as though it would be much better. You can use this Circle to help your mind focus around the energetics of Joy:
In some situations, it might also be helpful to go for:
If you would like to experiment with this idea, you can go through Retrain Your Mind to Go for Joy and see what happens to your mood and point of view!
Welcome to Learning in the New Paradigm – Mind Exercises to Retrain Your Mind to Go for Joy Rather than “Perfection.”
~ with Rheanni Lightwater, CHT, CKP
The Intuitive Learning Circles are a great tool to help you retrain your mind to successfully move away from the internal conflict that comes from having to be perfect. This short exercise will get you started. I’ve put it together to help you discover a way to refocus on internally sourced goals that are joyful and genuinely meaningful for you! All you have to do is relax and gaze softly at the Circles while you gently contemplate the affirmations or questions that go with them. Here’s an example:
“I reclaim and balance my five senses.”
“I fine tune them to be present and aware of my Soul and its purpose.”
“I use them to become aware of interference, obstacles and false ideas about perfection.”
“I am motivated to focus on beneficial solutions, opportunities and joy.”
An important note about Mind Body Integration ~
The brain and body communicate through different channels when a part of you is crossed over the center of your body. As you go through the steps, cross and uncross a hand or foot over the midline of your body when you gaze at each Circle. Use a soft focus and breathe patiently. This will help you integrate your thinking more fully so that you can be more creative. If you have any negative self-talk, let it go by breathing through it.
Feel free to move at anytime in any way to help you embody your experience!
Changes in the flow of your environment may cause the energy in your subtle energy field to start running in reverse or shut down entirely.
Take a few breaths and let this symbol help you make corrections. Relax and sense your overall energy. If it feels jagged or disjointed, stay with the Key until the energy smooths out and you can begin to feel the energy of your Soul coming through. Affirm this intention both crossed and uncrossed over the midline of your body:
“I repair the glitches, holes and blockages in my energy system.”
Please note: You may need to do this several times during the course of this exercise…
Okay, so let’s begin to retrain your mind…
Step One: In your current situation, who or what is defining “perfection” for you?
Perhaps it’s the media or something you learned at home or in school.
Wherever it came from, does that definition create joy for you? Is it creating more balanced prosperity? What about freedom or equality?
So, what are you actually asking your mind to accomplish?
Step Two: How much of your energy have you been sending to this definition?
If it were a percentage, what might it be?
10%? 20%? 50% or more?
Would you like to send that energy to create more joy in this situation instead?
Step Three: Imagine you can retrain your mind to reorganize itself around “joy,” rather than “perfection.”
Place the word “Joy,” or “Balanced Prosperity” in the center, open space of the Circle and soften your gaze. Relax. While you’re doing this, the Circle may seem to rotate, spin or even change colors. If that happens – go with it. Release control of the experience and let your thoughts re-arrange themselves. Your new goal may turn into images, experiences, colors, sounds or movements. Let it happen! You will know that the process is complete when the energy subsides.
Try the same with “Freedom” and “Equality”.
You can get up and move around if you like. Take all the time that you need so you can align with the inner guidance system of your Soul!
Step Four: Think about your situation again and bring your senses into balance by focusing on the center open space of this Circle.
Ask your heart: “What do I really want to accomplish?”
Step Five: Take a moment to clarify your intention through your Third Eye Chakra. Focus inwardly on what’s most important for you.
Remember to keep breathing!
Step Six: Clear the energy in your Heart Chakra so you can connect your ideas about Joy with the true creative spark of your life force.
From there, connect with your other intentions for balanced prosperity, etc.
Keep directing the energy to the center open space of the Circle. Doing so will help you bring your true intentions more fully into the center of your life!
Step Seven: How might you approach your life situation differently now? What action can you take that will help you know you’re going for joy?
How is it different when you go for balanced prosperity, freedom and equality?
Congratulations! Going for joy rather than perfection is a central concept of the Intuitive Learning Circles that will help you to live and prosper in the New Paradigm of co-operation, equality and balanced prosperity.
The following extra-intuitive activities aren’t required, but they can really help you excel in creating the very best of your talents, interests and passions…
Future Pacing
Future pacing is a way to deepen the effects of any mind body healing by projecting a preferred outcome into the future. You can use that idea to solidify what you’ve just learned about going for joy.

Mind Body Integration
Challenges to Mind Body Integration
To facilitate mind body integration using the Intuitive Learning Circles, look at each symbol both crossed over the midline of the body and uncrossed so that the correction to full embodiment is more complete.
Mind Body Integration
- The brain and body communicate through different channels when a part of you is crossed over the center of your body. If you feel resistant or stuck, cross or uncross a hand or foot over the midline of your body and go back to the Circle, breathing patiently. See if your thinking starts to move again. Let negative self-talk go by breathing through it.
Fixated Thoughts, Conflicts or Shock
- If you go completely blank or are unable to access anything, the question or subject may have brought up an inner conflict. If that happens, look at this Circle (#32 Condor from Gifts from the Rainforest). Follow these directions:
Take several deep breaths and relax while you gaze into the Circle. Imagine that you can use it to focus in on a thought, experience or conflict that’s causing a problem for you, like a bull’s eye.
Imagine the problem is melting or send a beam of light directly to the blockage. Allow your laser beam to break up the fixation or melt it until it’s gone. Take all the time you need and don’t forget to add any stretching, movements, rolling, shaking, etc., you may need to completely clear the energy.
Once you’re finished, go back to where you left off and complete whatever you were working on.
Somatic Movement Re-Patterning
The Corpus Callosum is a part of the brain that facilitates communication between your left and right cerebral hemispheres. When dealing with learning difficulties, it may help to perform simple cross crawl movements while you gaze at this Chakra Key to balance the chakras at the corpus callosum.- Feel free to move at any time in any way to help you embody your experience!
Homeopathic Readiness
- The Intuitive Learning Circles are like homeopathic remedies that work on a vibrational level. If you don’t need the remedy, it will do nothing.
So, if you’re already clear and in balance, looking at a Circle will do nothing. If you don’t really need a process you’ve chosen, the Circles will do nothing.
Individual Circles can, however, help you access answers. Just ask, “what do I need here?” Then trust the answer that comes. Maybe there’s another kind of process that would help you better at this time.
Willingness
- Finally, relax! The Intuitive Learning Circles aren’t about “doing it right,” they’re about opening up to the possibilities!

Chakra Balancing with Reiki
Kuan Yin’s Transformation Game for Chakra Balancing ~
Some people may be having difficulty physically and emotionally because they need chakra balancing to help them with one or more levels of their Hierarchy of Needs.
Here is an interesting and informative comparison between Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs and the Seven Primary Chakras. As you go through this simple exercise using the Intuitive Learning Circles from Reiki Chakra Keys, you will not only assess each of your Primary Chakras and gain some very interesting psychological insights, you’ll also have the opportunity to connect more deeply so you can clear and balance them to function more effectively in the New Paradigm.
Here’s how it works:
Put both feet flat on the floor and keep your arms and legs uncrossed. Read the information and then gaze softly at the corresponding Reiki Chakra Key for insight and energy healing. You will probably feel a lot of energy moving – that’s all right, that means the symbols are working with Reiki energy to cleanse and balance each of your Primary Chakras. Gaze gently at each Key until the energy you sense calms down and you have a clear answer to the questions.
Suggestions from Kuan Yin are included to lead you into a deeper chakra healing that’s designed to help you understand what makes the New Paradigm “new” and how to function much better within it.
Or you can continue moving through the sequence of the Chakras with each of their descriptions to complete the assessment. Remember it’s always best to relax and go slowly. Allow your energy to settle comfortably between each Key.
Step One: Each of us has a unique vibration and “soul color” that allows us to sync up with the Universe appropriately.
It’s common for empath’s or other highly sensitive people to take on other people’s vibration in an effort to survive or get along. Use this first Circle to reinforce healthy boundaries and be sure that you’re reading your energy and not someone else’s!
To fully integrate your personal vibration simply gaze softly at the Circle both crossed and uncrossed over the midline of your body while you affirm to yourself:
“I know who I am. I distinguish my needs from the needs of others.”
Step Two: Your chakras respond to old conditioning and mindsets. To change your mindset, establish an overall intention stated in the positive.
You might want to write it down. Examples:
“I understand what’s required for me to be centered and grounded
in the New Paradigm.”
Step Three: Utilize the beneficial Chi’ available through the Element of Air For Divine Protection and healthy communication.
“I close down harmful energy channels and allow my energy to adapt and flow with the lighter, more protective energy of the New Paradigm.”
I hope to _____________________________.”
Now that you know what your intention is, let’s find out what might be needed to balance each of your seven primary chakras to align with your goal!
First Chakra Key:
“Our root chakra is red and governs the physical body, our instincts and the assumptions we have about life.
If we have been brought up under the assumption that our bodies and physical processes are bad or dirty, we will manifest that on the physical plane. We will be prone to violence, disrespect and exhaustion.
Clearing the energy with this Reiki Chakra Key will help us to find a new foundation and give us strength to make the necessary changes for a vibrant and powerful life.” ~ Reiki Chakra Keys, Rheanni Lightwater
In Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs the Root needs are physiological – air, food, water, shelter, warmth, sex, sleep and having adequate methods of communication.
Gaze softly at the Root Chakra Key below for a minute or so. Then ask yourself:
“Are my physiological needs being met? Am I giving them the proper priority, position and attention for my life to be in balance? Do I need a stronger, more beneficial connection with Mother Earth?”
Do I need chakra balancing here? if so, what would help me to bring my Root Chakra in balance?
What Would Bring Balance to My Physical and Psychological Well-being?
Kuan Yin’s current recommendation: Stabilize and protect your foundation>
Second Chakra Key
“The second energy center is referred to here as the spleen chakra because it is deeply connected to our emotions, digestion and immunity. Its color is orange.
When this chakra is dis-eased, toxic emotions and entanglements build up and poison the entire system. Our ability to create is repressed and depression sets in.
Free flowing energy here is essential to physical, emotional and mental health.
We can forgive ourselves and others, which helps us to maintain a healthy sense of well-being.” ~ Reiki Chakra Keys, Rheanni Lightwater
In Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs the second level needs are safety oriented – protection from the elements, security, order, law, stability and freedom from fear.
Gaze softly at the Second Chakra Key below for a minute or so. Then ask yourself:
“Are my safety and security needs being met? Am I giving them the proper priority, position and attention for my life to be in balance?”
Do I need chakra balancing here? if so, what would help me to bring my 2nd Chakra in balance?
What Would Bring Balance to My Physical and Psychological Well-being?
Kuan Yin’s current recommendation: Let go of negative entanglements that affect your immunity>
Third Chakra Key:
“The solar plexus chakra is the center of who we are and who we think we are, so it is fitting that its color is a bright yellow.
When our sense of ourselves is poor, the chakra becomes sluggish and clogged up.
If our sense of ourselves is positive, we have self-confidence and the chakra pulsates with vibrancy and harmony. We exude an attitude of faith and cheerfulness. Our energy-level is high, we a have a high mental capacity for success and others are naturally attracted to our charisma.” ~ Reiki Chakra Keys, Rheanni Lightwater
In Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs the third level needs include love and belongingness needs – friendship, intimacy, affection and love from work group, family, friends, and romantic relationships.
Gaze softly at the Third Chakra Key below for a minute or so. Then ask yourself:
“Are my love and belongingness needs being met? Am I giving them the proper priority, position and attention for my life to be in balance?”
Do I need chakra balancing here? if so, what would help me to bring my Third Chakra in balance?
What Would Bring Balance to My Physical and Psychological Well-being?
Kuan Yin’s current recommendation: Connect with your courage and natural instincts>
Fourth Chakra Key (Heart):
“Our heart chakra is the bridge between our bodies and the spiritual world. It is where our thoughts and beliefs about love meet the physical expression of it.
Indigenous people believe that all of nature can communicate with each other through the heart. That is why its color is green, the most basic color for healing, nurturing and abundance. It is the home of the mind of compassion, which extends to every living being, including ourselves.” ~ Reiki Chakra Keys, Rheanni Lightwater
In Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs the fourth level needs include esteem needs – achievement, self-love, independence, status, dominance, prestige, self-approval, self-respect and respect from others.
Gaze softly at the Fourth Chakra Key below for a minute or so. Then ask yourself:
“Are my compassion and esteem needs being met? Am I giving them the proper priority, position and attention for my life to be in balance?”
Do I need chakra balancing here? if so, what would help me to bring my Fourth Chakra in balance?
What Would Bring Balance to My Physical and Psychological Well-being?
Kuan Yin’s current recommendation: Open your heart to Joy so you can let go perfectionism>
Fifth Chakra Key (Throat):
“The energy of the throat chakra is about what you put out into the world – having a voice. It’s about speaking your truth and is blue in color, as in ‘true blue’.
Many people in our society have difficulty with this energy center. This may manifest in suppressed emotions, not saying what we really mean or an inability to ask for what we need. It often impairs us from being able to achieve all that we are capable of.
A healthy throat chakra allows us to be clear and honest in our intentions, words and deeds. Through it we can avoid the bitterness and restlessness that comes from an unfulfilled life.” ~ Reiki Chakra Keys, Rheanni Lightwater
In Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs the fifth level needs include cognitive needs such as knowledge, meaning, expression, self-mastery and self-awareness.
Gaze softly at the Fifth Chakra Key below for a minute or so. Then ask yourself:
“Are my cognitive needs being met? Am I able to ask for what I need and straightforward in my requests? Am I giving them the proper priority, position and attention for my life to be in balance?”
Do I need chakra balancing here? if so, what would help me to bring my Fifth Chakra in balance?
What Would Bring Balance to My Physical and Psychological Well-being?
Kuan Yin’s current recommendation: Clear up any communication issues that are holding you back>
Sixth Chakra Key (Third Eye):
“The third eye chakra contains the energy of insight and wisdom. Located in the center of the forehead just above the eyebrow, this chakra is associated with the color purple.
A healthy third eye is important in the development of intuition and common sense. When it’s blocked, we tend to doubt ourselves, become cynical and rely on the opinions of others. We lose our imagination, our dreams and our personal power.
Conversely, when it’s clear, we are capable of regaining our inner vision and receiving clairvoyant information. We can develop relationships with our Higher Self, Angels, Teachers and Guides. These beings are here to assist us in achieving the Reiki ideals of Universal Love.” ~ Reiki Chakra Keys, Rheanni Lightwater
In Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs the sixth level needs include aesthetic needs – the appreciation of and search for beauty, balance and form, etc. Kuan Yin would add the need for spiritual insight and understanding.
Gaze softly at the Sixth Chakra Key below for a minute or so. Then ask yourself:
“Are my needs for creativity and spiritual understanding being met? Am I giving them the proper priority, position and attention for my life to be in balance?”
Do I need chakra balancing here? if so, what would help me to bring my Sixth Chakra in balance?
What Would Bring Balance to My Physical and Psychological Well-being?
Kuan Yin’s current recommendation: Detach from group think that feeds escalating conflicts>
Seventh Chakra Key (Crown):
“The crown chakra is our connection to spirit. This is the energy center that connects us with divine inspiration. Its color is white as it contains all things and it can cast a golden ring when in states of ecstasy.
In this experience of “enlightenment,” we can perceive the potential both within and without and are completely at peace with ourselves.
When this energy center is open and balanced, we more easily receive information and life force from our Higher Self and the Universe. Take all the time you need with this Key until you feel stable and calm.” ~ Reiki Chakra Keys, Rheanni Lightwater
In Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs the seventh level needs include self actualization needs – realizing personal potential, self-fulfillment, seeking personal growth and peak experiences.
Gaze softly at the Seventh Chakra Key below for a minute or so. Then ask yourself:
“Are my self-actualization needs being met? Are my fulfillment needs blocked in any way? Am I giving them the proper priority, position and attention for my life to be in balance?”
Do I need chakra balancing here? if so, what would help me to bring my Seventh Chakra in balance?
What Would Bring Balance to My Physical and Psychological Well-being?
Kuan Yin’s current recommendation: Tune into clear guidance especially when lies are everywhere>
Congratulations!
Now that you’ve gone through chakra balancing with Reiki for the seven main chakras, your energy is more your own and you’ll have a much easier time adapting to the New Paradigm. Remember, a person whose energy is balanced and calm has a uniquely beneficial effect on those around them.
Be sure to take some time to relax and rest.

Healing Emotional Abuse
Transformation Game: Healing Emotional Abuse from Our Collective Karma
The key to healing emotional abuse and remaining positive in difficult times is to remember the bottom line – you are a being of love!
Sometimes we forget or never believed it in the first place. We allow past patterns of fear, hatred or abuse to influence us. One of the main ways that this happens is through confusion. Another is apathy.
As we adjust to the New Paradigm, we need ways to address the collective karma that is at the source of the abuse. To help with that, I’d like to share a powerful process that has helped many people shift negative collective patterns into positive well being. It’s called Healing Emotional Abuse. – R Lightwater
Transformation Games are inspired by Kuan Yin, a beloved and respected healing guide among natural health and energy medicine practitioners.
*Caution! Her advice is, as always, direct and to the point!
“Did you know that confusion, disorientation and feelings of impotence are symptoms of karmic patterns of abuse?
Some patterns are about individual karma and some are collective patterns. In a collective pattern, we are all affected in one way or another. A poignant example would be the tragedy of 9/11 or Nazi Germany in World War II. In current times, the attack on children’s safety, mass shootings, autonomy over our bodies, the exploitation of our environment and the loss of privacy rights are all definitely group patterns.
Every person shares the collective karma of these events, although the level of our involvement varies with each person or group, of course.
The game below is made up of Intuitive Learning Circles that can help you disentangle from collective karma that’s causing you harm in the present. Simply go through the game by answering pertinent questions that will activate your heart wisdom and give you a new perspective.
Step One: Gaze at the Circle for a moment and then consider this question:
“In what aspect of my life am I experiencing apathy, confusion or fear?”
Use the answer that comes to you as the basis for the game so that you can disengage from the confusion and release your fears very quickly. If there’s more than one situation causing you to be concerned, angry or fearful, play the game again later for each specific situation. The best way to take the energy out of anything is to stop feeding it and turn your attention to positive activities that will feed what you love. That is exactly what Healing Emotional Abuse will help you to do with these unconscious patterns.”
How to Play Healing Emotional Abuse:
Simply gaze softly at the images below while you ponder the statements or questions that go with them. Use the symbols to help you go within and access new energy and clarity. What you do with the information you come up with is up to you!
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.
Step Two: Relax with this symbol and repeat to yourself several times:
“I am ready, willing and able to shift my perception from negative to positive, from confused to clear and/or from powerless to empowered.”
Imagine that your life is like a movie and that your inner camera is filming it from a certain angle. Allow your Inner Guidance to pull the camera back and move it to an entirely different angle – a perception that includes a viable solution. Focus in on this new perspective like a close up in a movie.
Step Three: While looking at this Circle, remember that aspect of your life that’s troubling you. Ask yourself:
“What name would I give this issue? How would I describe it?”
How is it affecting me? How is it affecting others?”
Step Four: Continue your inquiry by asking your heart:
“What am I feeling about this?”
“Is there a particular time when I feel especially anxious or confused?
“Is there a time when I feel particularly despondent or upset?”
“Where do I feel those things in my body?”
Remember, there is no right or wrong answer. Any information you get can be used to help you!
Step Five: Notice how this situation may shut you down or agitate you because it opens up a lot of turmoil. Breathe a few times and allow this Circle to help you calm yourself and start to get back into balance.
Step Six: See if you can free up your breath and body even more. Gaze softly at this symbol and open your breathing for a few minutes.
- If you’re uncomfortable or tight – move around.
- Imagine the space around you is relaxing and opening up.
- If your breathing feels stilted or anxious, vary the tempo, the length and breadth of it.
- Stretch. Fire breathe. Whatever it takes!
“With every breath, I relax the tension and reconnect with life.”
Once you’re ready, let your energy be opened, lifted and lightened by the new, generative Universal flow that rides on the element of Air. Allow any remaining tension to unwind. You are relaxing with every breath and becoming very, very calm. All doors to anxiety, fear or abuse are closing now…
“I close down all harmful energy channels. I am divinely protected.”
“I connect with generative life energy available in the New Paradigm to help me let go of negativity and reconnect with Life.”
Continue moving around, breathing and stretching for as long as you like.
Take a break. If you feel a lot of tension or anxiety releasing, this is probably a good time to get up and take a walk or exercise.
Welcome back!
Step Seven: Whenever you’re dealing with emotional abuse or confusion, it’s very helpful to make sure you’re oriented properly to receive natural healing and nurture your true hearts desire.
“I am present and inside my body. I consciously re-orient myself.”
“I am aware of my boundaries and expel energies that are abusive to me.”
Step Eight: Use this Soul Prayer Chart to tune directly into your heart. You can do this by focusing your inner camera again. This time, use it to zoom in on your heart center. Once you feel a connection, ask for help from your Soul resources and allow yourself to receive all the help that you need. Take your time and embrace the strength that comes from your Soul.
“I exist. I am important and filled with the support and strength of my spirit.”
Step Nine. Use this Circle to help you visualize your personal Sacred Garden that lives in your heart. This is the place where you can rest and nurture your dreams. Gaze softly at the Circle and ask your heart:
“Am I in my own Sacred Garden?”
If you aren’t, pull yourself back. If you are, look to see if the landscape could use some tending.
Step Ten: While you’re there, clear out any old or harmful intentions that may keep you invested in emotional abuse, chaos, bondage or any other abuse of power.
Be sure to consider familial and ancestral intentions that are no longer relevant and may even be harmful.
“All harmful intentions are cleared out of my body, mind and spirit.”
Once all harmful intentions are cleared away, what is a life affirming intention you can redirect your energy to that comes directly from your Soul?
Step Eleven: In the Intuitive Learning Circle method, karma refers to thoughts, decisions and actions that you’ve followed through on. In other words, Cause and Effect. This could mean either personal actions made or group karma.
Imagine that you can clear away any seeds of harmful karma that are contributing to this situation. Include any group karma that may have come through ancestral or societal connections. If you can, go all the way back to the original event and clear out the seeds that set this karmic cycle into motion.
Once the old seeds are cleared, imagine you are planting new seeds that will help you create something truly beneficial as an expression of your love. For example, you could use the Circle to help you plant the karmic seeds for a new collective pattern of Divine Love. Be sure to include seeds for everything your garden would need to prosper and grow in the New Paradigm.
Step Twelve: It’s time to dispel destructive energies from your field. You can use this symbol, which helps you dissolve any mental/emotional patterns that you might be feeling right now. You can even include chaotic feelings, harmful habits or illness if you’re experiencing those.
You can imagine any turmoil, hopelessness or confusion is like a flurry of dramatic clouds. Visualize a Light opening up from the Divine that envelopes and transforms the clouds. Continue until the disturbance is completely gone.
Be sure to do that both crossed and uncrossed.
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 Thirteen: Make a firm decision that you are done with this abuse and you’re not going back. With this Circle, find the holes, openings or pathways that pull you back into the past and close them – in accordance with your highest good.
“All holes are sealed and healed. I’m not going back.”
“I follow the direction of my Soul’s protection.”
Step Thirteen: Now that you’ve cleared old patterns and destructive energy away, take a moment and focus on something or someone that you truly love. It could be you – a place in nature, a favorite animal, an activity, a person that you care deeply for or all of the above! You can use this affirmation if you like:
“I turn my attention towards love. Experiencing Love is my priority.”
It also helps to place an image of what you love in the center, blank area of the Circle. Be sure to take all the time you need with this.
Congratulations for closing the door on all that. Now would be a great time to rest and nurture yourself. Take a walk or spend time in nature – doing something you love. Allow yourself to receive the blessings that come from leaving the past behind and healing emotional abuse.

Finding Moderation In the New Paradigm
Do You Feel Overwhelmed About What’s Next? Finding Moderation is the Key to Navigating Extremes.
Kuan Yin has been helping us to transition from the old paradigm based on greed and extremism to a new paradigm of equality, co-operation and balanced prosperity. Her advice about finding 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 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 # 15 – Finding 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 I Ching Workbook, R.L. Wing
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.”
Finding Moderation and Following that Path ~
As a general rule, MODERATION is the most sensible flow to follow, especially since so much chaos is playing out in the wake of environmental, political and social deterioration. The karma for disturbing internal conflicts and social upheaval is being activated and must be dealt with one way or the other.
Most people are navigating through one or another of these general karmic patterns:
- Getting sucked into a negative mental, emotional, physical or spiritual decline.
- Stuck in indifference or denial – avoiding personal responsibility.
- Activated by past grievance, 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, 4 or 5?”
It could easily be a mix, depending on your mindset and what stage of the karma you’re living through.
Regardless of what’s happening, you can make your life easier by letting go of old agreements or karma that’s over and done with. This game will help you do that.
First, Let’s Address Conflict that’s Caused by Collective Shock.
Let’s face it. The past few years have been filled with one jarring event after another. Shocking events are happening daily. Give yourself and others a break by realizing that you might be caught in a reactive pattern because you’ve received so many repeated shocks to your system. See what happens if you look at this Circle and relax for a minute or so. Breathe deeply and imagine that the conflict in your mind is melting away like ice melting under the light of the Sun.
You may find that your attachment to those reactive patterns could melt away as well!
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!
The Underlying Structures of Our Lives Are Deteriorating Rapidly.
From wildfires to earthquakes to power outages to social institutions in disarray, it’s important to acknowledge the continuous and ongoing affect that the stress is having on us. Use this Circle to help you deconstruct the recurring karma and close up any drains that are exhausting you.
“I shut down all drains that are causing me to lose energy.”
Finding Moderation in Your Emotional Responses.
Release Your Attachments to the Old Paradigm.
The old paradigm was built on extreme and oppressive social, religious and moral dogmas that use force and fear to control others. Most of us are still tapping into them to one degree the other because they’ve been wired into how we react to events.
It would be wise to detach from that way of thinking and functioning because it has lost its ground. To find out if you’re still giving them power, ask yourself:
“Am I unconsciously tapping into toxic emotions?”
Remember, emotions are just energy in motion. They are not solid things and they aren’t who you are! Let this Soul Prayer Chart help you find the flow of harmful emotions that are running through your mind so that you can effectively detach from them.
The recent change from the Piscean Age (Water) to the Aquarian Age (Air) has caused some instability in how we process our thoughts and emotions. You can decide that your response to events can be more Air based than Water based. Here are some suggested affirmations to use with this diagram:
“I decide to bring my intuition into balance.”
“I lead with sensible thought rather than emotional reactions.”
“I do my best to keep my mind positive and my intention clear.”
My wellbeing is important and I decide to stay balanced and moderate.”
Release Codependent Behaviors.
Protect Yourself from Being Dumped On or Scapegoated.
In times of increased conflict and instability, it’s common for people who want to avoid responsibility to systemically dump their issues, problems and karma onto others who they hope will accept the blame.
You don’t have to accept the blame anymore. Send those issues back – to each their own!
People who have a tendency to take on other people’s problems are often:
- Mistakenly organizing their life around the problem and being “the fixer.”
Instead, choose to organize around self-love, which includes your well-being and being kind to yourself. - Unconsciously fueling the problem by trying harder and doubling down with their energy and attention.
Instead, disconnect from how your energy is being drained and redirect your energy to your own priorities. - Internalizing the other person’s responsibility and judging themselves -“I’m not a nice person if I don’t do what they want me to do.”
Instead, realize you are taking on more than your part of the situation, which causes you harm and diminishes your ability to respond in the most effective way.
If you’ve been trained that you need to be liked or to fix things when other people are unhappy, you can trap yourself by taking on more than your part of a difficult situation. You can clarify this by asking yourself these questions:
“What is my part in this situation? What am I actually responsible for?”
“Is my desire to help joyful, or has it become twisted in some way?”
“What action could I take in this situation that would actually be helpful?”
When we buy into codependent behaviors, we are inadvertently complicating matters and preventing things from working themselves out in a simpler, more direct way.
To help you avoid this trap and set things right, use this symbol with the affirmations to release attachments to the malaise of destructive behavior:
“I let go of attachments and blame. I detach from sticky, toxic energies.”
I create autonomy and resilient optimism.”
Like a healing balm, imagine that a loving coat of peace and comfort is pouring down over you!
These affirmations will also help with this Circle:
“I correct or move past reversals, blockages and jagged energies.”
“I have a clear and direct connection with my Soul.”
Let Go of Harmful Karmic Agreements and Energies.
Use this Soul Contract Circle to help you identify and release any social, familial or religious agreements that prevent you from being present for yourself or that pull you out of balance. Simply gaze softly at the Circle while you use the affirmations.
“I release any agreement that says I’m powerless or have no choice.”
“I release all agreements to allow myself to be shamed, blamed or manipulated in any way.”
“I let go of my agreements to stay stuck in or comply with harmful behaviors associated with the old paradigm.” (extremism, slavery, deceit, greed, prejudice, intimidation, control, manipulation, dishonesty, people pleasing, etc.)
“I clarify my priorities and communicate them directly and with kindness.”
“I have autonomy over my body, my mind, my energy and how I use them.”
Let Go of Intentions That You Don’t Need Anymore.
Release yourself from intentions with family, friends or business relationships that cause conflict and block your ability to move forward freely. Consider old jobs, organizations you’ve been involved with – religious institutions, political agendas, completed projects, places you’ve lived, modes of transportation, ways of communicating or doing business, etc.
“I let go of out-dated, extreme or conflicting intentions that are harmful to me.”
What intentions will actually serve you now? Do they need to be clarified, simplified or re-organized? What do you need to have happen for yourself?
“My intentions are moderate and genuinely helpful.”
Unearth Old Emotional Garbage and Karmic Patterns.
Use this symbol for Dissolving Destructive Blueprints to identify and release any mental or emotional patterns that are causing you harm. See the Light opening up so that you can surrender them:
“I gather destructive patterns or energies and release them to the Light.
I dissolve my connection to them, so that they may be set free and transformed.”
Please note: Never send pain or harmful energies into the Earth to be neutralized, she already has too much to handle now. Use the Earth for planting seeds of life, health and happiness – not death, illness and unhappiness!
Close the Door on Harmful Paths or Unnecessary Suffering.
Finish this part of the game by closing the door on harmful activities, agendas and pathways that lead back to unhealthy patterns. Take all the time you need. There are probably a lot of them.
“All doors and pathways that lead to suffering are sealed and healed.”
“I follow the direction of my Soul’s protection.”
Congratulations! You will probably want to take a short break to move around and let all this integrate. Come back in a few minutes, so you can apply all this newfound freedom to your future!
Refocus Your Energy to Clarify Your Priorities.
Visualize what’s truly important to you in the center open space of this Circle. Do you feel uncentered? Is your energy scattered? If so, take a moment to center yourself in your solar plexus area and aim your energy in the center open space like a bull’s eye.
“I center myself and consciously direct my energy towards truly beneficial activities and priorities.”
Don’t forget to include appropriate rest, fun and relaxation!
Recalibrate Your Energy to Truly Support What You Need Now.
Devote your energy to finding MODERATION in how you use your energy.
“I connect with my Heart Center and am guided by my true Spiritual Source.”
“I exist and am empowered to create a hopeful future and ________.”
Finish by Invoking Protection and Clarity of Mind:
Gaze softly at this symbol for Divine Protection and generative life force in the New Paradigm.
“I close down all harmful energy channels from the past.”
“My mind is open and clear to receive generative life force.”
“I learn to utilize the generative flow of chi’ to successfully manifest and communicate.”
Welcome to the Middle Road! You probably feel much more balance. Go back to the Initial Evaluation for the game and see what has changed.
If you feel complete, congratulations! Go out for a walk to integrate and get grounded.
If you feel incomplete, you can continue to the Extra-intuitive Activities part of this process and let go of a few extreme collective mindsets that can get in the way of finding MODERATION:
There are several other decisions to explore that might really improve how you’re dealing with your situation.
Extreme #1: The need to be liked and approved of by others.
Here is the prime example, ‘Being liked = being important and having purpose.’ You might want to let go of that, because this is a terrible time to base your self-worth on how other people react to you.
“I decide that my worth comes from within. I let go of the need for approval.”
“I build my relationships out of sincere goodwill from my heart, not from projected expectations of self-importance.”
Extreme #2: The ‘more is better’ or ‘bigger is better’ syndrome.
For example: The Sun is good, however too much Sun causes cancer. Butter is good, yet too much butter causes weight gain, etc. Another social meme that explains the mindset is: ‘The sky is the limit. I want it all now, so I should be able to have it all now!’
“I am clear about who I am and what’s in my best interest.“
“I decide that clear, MODERATE limits enhance my wellbeing.”
Use this Circle like a mirror and clear away any markings or old graffiti that obscure the pure energy signature of your Soul.
Extreme #3: The ‘I’m not doing enough/doing too much” dichotomy.
Finding MODERATION means putting in just the right amount of effort to get the desired result. Think Goldilocks – not too much and not too little… just right.
If you’re uncomfortable because you’re feeling blocked or scattered, there may be a good reason. Do you know what it is? Suddenly heading off into fifteen different directions will probably backfire on you badly.
If you’re sending your energy in too many directions, stop and regain your center. Thoughtful consideration about what you really need is what’s most important now.
“What do I really need to focus on right now? What will help me do that?”
Congratulations!
Now that you’ve made choices about finding moderation you can bring order and new happiness into your environment!”
For many people, finding MODERATION 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.”
