Deflect Projections and Reflect the Positive with Parrot Medicine
Self-care and Personal Growth through Gifts from the Rainforest:
18. Parrot Medicine – knows how to handle inflammatory remarks and condemnation. By remaining calm in the face of emotional outbursts, we develop mastery over our minds and our reactions.
Is someone trying to get a reaction out of you?
Are you caught in a maze of projections?
Are you stuck on judgement and criticism? If so, what would help?
Healing Action: Stop taking things personally. Take control of your reactions. Get out of the way. Deflect interference from others by proactively rejecting their projections.
Parrot Wisdom
The wise parrot teaches us the best way to handle
inflammatory remarks and condemnation.
She simply looks us in the eye
and repeats back what we say word for word,
without emotion, judgement or attack.
When you find yourself in a situation
filled with vengeance, fear or victimization,
do not engage it, otherwise you will fuel it.
Remain objective and mirror back what is said
with compassion, truth and justice.
As humans, we are manipulated
and give away our power through our emotions.
Remain calm and learn from Parrot
by reflecting only the goodness and beauty
of your surroundings.

Further Exploration into Parrot Medicine:
Parrot Medicine
You are taking what someone has said or done personally. Have you considered the possibility that your reaction was all they really wanted in the first place? What would happen if you didn’t respond the way they are expecting you to? What if you smiled or laughed or did nothing at all? You might be surprised at how fast they disappear or change their tune.
Or
Are you caught in an endless nightmare or repeating arguments? Instead of being paranoid or reactive, try being more proactive. Use Parrot’s Circle to imagine that the situation is like being in a maze or house of mirrors. Ask if there are particular emotions or conflicts that your mind is wrestling with. Once you have the mental construct or trap, release your agreement to perpetuate it. Then, consciously shatter the mirrors and deconstruct the trap. Clear it all away till there’s nothing left of it.
Or
You are allowing yourself to be victimized by someone else’s critical mind. Try going through these steps:
Ask your heart, “What is this person showing me about myself that I don’t like?”
If you feel you’re being criticized, ask, “What is really going on?”
Notice that what you’re making up about about this interaction is probably worse than what is actually happening.
Ask the Circle for advice about how to best de-escalate the situation.
Close the door on interference, judgement and criticism. Shatter the projections and use your new perspective to make necessary changes in your plans so that you’re effectively protected.

in an entirely new way if it is to survive.
So it is with the humans.
They encounter many metamorphoses
throughout their lives, yet they often forget
that the old ways no longer work.
Consider the changes in your life
and consciously discontinue the old ways
you had of nourishing and being nourished.
Ask for guidance from the butterfly
about this new life you have entered.
What are the necessary changes you must make?

Further Exploration into Butterfly Medicine:
Butterfly Medicine
You have recently gone through a significant transformation and your vision is hampered by the fact that you’ve never been in this position before. You’re filled with hesitation and doubt because you don’t know what to expect. Naturally, it may take some time to realize you’re no longer the way you were. Your perception of yourself needs to make some changes as well.
Take some time out to play and explore new ways to take care of yourself. Old patterns of self-defeat and self-destruction have been healed; now it’s time to get a new perspective based on your current needs. Many decisions you’ve made in the past are no longer relevant.
Look at Butterfly’s Circle and make some choices about would nourish you now. Ask your heart what changes you need to make in order for your choices to prosper. What kind of input will help you spread your new wings? You may be surprised by the answers that come back to you. If they’re full of contradictions, you will understand more clearly how your ego is still trying to sabotage your growth.
Refrain from blocking positive change through denial, doubt or self-criticism. Lift any restrictions your ego may have put on receiving Love. Accept that change has come and you can’t go back to the way that things were. Actively seek out creative, nurturing energy and allow it to support you in the most appropriate and generous form.

#43 Early Morning Storm –New beginnings are best ushered in with objectivity and a fundamental belief in the beauty of life. An early morning storm inspires us to start fresh from wherever we are.
Is something obstructing your clear connection with life, health, hope or happiness?
What new possibilities do you need to make way for?
Healing Action: Dissolve dysfunctional mindsets, family patterns and attraction fields that no longer serve you.
A New Dawn
View your life from a distance.
Get clear about how your decisions create the experiences that follow.
If you decide to believe your negative thoughts,
you will create negative experiences.
The collective unconscious has been dreaming a negative dream.
The jungle cries out to our hearts,
“It’s always early morning somewhere.
Start fresh from wherever you are right now.”
You can change your reality
and the reality of the planet
by changing your beliefs.
Begin again.
Create a new dream by allowing an early morning storm to clear the air.

Further Exploration into Early Morning Storm Medicine:
Early Morning Storm
A new dawn is about new beginnings. You are ready to embark on a journey that requires an entirely different way of thinking. Discipline and compassion for yourself will teach you how to clear the slate effectively. You may think that the shadows from the past are fading into the background, yet all you would need to do to bring them back full force upon you would be to either go into denial and plunge into the future without any caution or to focus obsessively on what happened in the past.
It’s time to transmute the shadows of denial and assumption through your greatest strengths – the truth and acceptance that comes from your Soul. A simple way to remember this lesson is, “The ego repeats – the Soul creates.”
This medicine is especially good when you want to gather unconscious information about a larger pattern so that you can clear and release it more completely. Use the Circle to help you get a larger perspective on a situation with this affirmation: “I gather all the pertinent information about this situation so that I can clear it in alignment with my Soul.”
Or
A fear from the past has become a habit for you and as a result, you continue to attract negativity. You can transform your habit into courage with the assistance of Nature and this Circle. Look into it and ask your heart, “Am I in real danger right now, in this moment?”
Or
A new dawn could also be alerting you to a beautiful new opportunity that has just been opened to you. Clear your mind and ask for the possibilities to reveal themselves.
There is magic in rain that falls through the atmosphere when dawn is breaking. Use this power to open your heart and make room for Love. Appreciating beauty at this time keeps you focused on what’s important and gratitude renews the childlike heart in all of us.

How to ADAPT and Come From a Grounded Place in the New Paradigm ~
Many of us are aware that how we experience our environment has a lot to do with how well we’re feeling and how easy or difficult it is to come from a grounded place. That’s especially so when we need to communicate or move forward in a genuinely productive way! The energy of the Cosmos has changed radically and we are being called to ADAPT to a New Paradigm based on common ground.
The purpose of this Mind Exercise is to activate the beneficial energies of the New Paradigm in your environment. Connecting with these energies will help you organize effectively and from a grounded place.
If you’ve noticed any of the following situations in your environment, try this exercise fromNavigating Compassion Fatigue, an online resource from our Soul Oriented Solutions series –
SOS – Soul Oriented Solutions
If you feel like you or your environment are:
Ungrounded or scattered
Overwhelmed by too much stuff
Disorganized and confused
Unstable, unsafe or explosive
Juggling too many things
Unproductive – going around in circles
A magnet attracting negative energies.
Directions: Confirm this is the best formula for you with the SOS Symbol.
Find a quiet place to sit in the center of your space, where you won’t be disturbed for about twenty minutes. Make sure both of your feet are firmly planted on the floor and that the soles of your shoes wouldn’t prevent you from grounding well.
Begin by meditating on this symbol that will help you organize your mind around the structure for Creating Common Ground.
Then, go through the exercise by reading each message and then gazing gently at the Circle or chart that goes with it for a minute or so. A longer or shorter time may be necessary. Let yourself breathe and relax as much as possible. Don’t worry if the images move around or change in any way. That just means the Circles are working to help you and your environment to come into balance with each other and ground.
Some emotions may come up and when that happens always visualize the heaviness moving up, out and towards the Light.
You may intuitively feel that an object in the space should be moved or removed completely. Trust your instincts. Give yourself permission to let go of anything that could keep you stuck in the old paradigm.
Mind Body Integration
For best results, look at each symbol both crossed over the midline of your body and uncrossed so that the correction is more complete.
Feel free to cross or uncross your arms whenever you intuitively feel you need to!
It helps to know that there are new channels of life force available in the New Paradigm that will help us ADAPT.
Divine Protection
Keep this symbol handy to help you open up to generative life force and close down life-destructive energy channels from the past. That integration also includes new communication channels that will help us connect with each other in far more life affirming ways.
By contemplating the symbol, you’ll find that you’ll be able to intentionally close down harmful channels and open up to the generative life force (chi) that we look for in Feng Shui.
In Chinese, Feng Shui means “wind water”. These are the two elements that move energy for creating life when they’re in balance. When they’re out of balance, they can create all kinds of destructive energy patterns – sudden reversals, poltergeists, collapses in protection and stagnation – just to name a few.
Needless to say, transitioning out of the energy channels of the Piscean Age (water) into the new energy channels of the Aquarian Age (air) has been causing quite a bit of instability for everyone.
The bottom line is – the sooner we can come from a grounded place in the New Paradigm based on common ground, the better!
If you need help getting your space grounded, you’re welcome to connect with Rheanni Lightwater for Feng Shui consulting. You can share some of the experiences you’re having and what you’re noticing about your space. Getting a Feng Shui perspective on your situation could be very useful and help you to make the best decisions about your space and organize your life in a way that will move you forward.
Once you’ve finished going through the entire exercise, take yourself for a gentle walk in nature or have a soak in a hot bath with Epsom salts or Sea Salt. It’s important to make sure that you’ve cleansed yourself.
Connection
Begin by relaxing while you softly gaze at this Reiki Chakra Key for your Life Path Chakras, located on either side of your Crown Chakra at the top of your head. Use the following affirmation:
“I choose to relax and open up to my true potential.”
Presence
2. Take some more time to breathe deeply. Pay special attention to those places in your body where you’re feeling pain or discomfort. Consciously send your breath to those places and let them relax.
Stretch if you need to. Open and close your hands. Notice the time and the space around you.
“I bring myself into the present in the New Paradigm.”
Scroll back up to Divine Protection and take a few moments to consciously close down any harmful energy channels in your body or your space.
Do it both crossed and uncrossed over the center line of your body.
Receptivity
3. Ask for peace and harmony to come into your heart and awareness.
Consciously move your energy out of your head and pull it down into your heart and solar plexus area.
Once you feel the shift, close down harmful energy channels again. The more relaxed you are, the better this works.
Intuition
4. Connect with your instinctual nature.
Use the Dragonfly Circle to help you tune into your gut instincts so that you can reconnect and improve your relationship with your environment.
“I reconnect with my natural instincts and relationship to my environment.”
Divine Protection
Do you get instinctual messages or intuitive hits about certain areas in the space around you?
Could there be an object that’s holding old energy or keeping you grounded in past unhappiness?
If there is, take a moment to move it now and clear the area with Divine Protection.
Clear Intention
5. Let go of the need to be perfect, having to sacrifice or be everything for everyone. Include intentions that were helpful at one time and are no longer useful.
Could you be holding onto something that doesn’t belong to you or leaving yourself open to a problem that’s not yours to fix?
You are responsible for yourself and only your part of the situation. What is your part?
What makes sense to do? What would be genuinely helpful in this situation?
Resolve to let any misguided intentions go, like old smoke disappearing into the Light.
Nourishment
6. Make sure that you’re accessing the most beneficial energies to support you and your environment.
You may notice that some directions hold more auspicious energies for you than others.
Shut down any energy channels that are irrelevant or distracting you with Divine Protection.
Empowerment
7. To ground in the New Paradigm effectively, you need a strong connection to your spiritual Source. You need to be able to take good care of yourself and willing to ask for help. Bring your attention back to your heart and listen to it beating – nice and steady. Affirm to yourself:
“I exist and am empowered through the connection in my Heart.”
“I take good care of myself and am willing to ask for help.”
“I connect with my environment through Joy and Gratitude.”
Take all the time you need with this.
Disappointment
8. Pull your energy back and out of disappointing experiences.
Use this Circle to help you stop tapping into harmful or destructive energies that don’t support you and that bring chaos into your environment.
Shut down any remaining energy channels that are irrelevant or distracting you with Divine Protection.
Coherence
9. It’s time to focus your energy on getting grounded. When are grounded, you are not only taking good care of yourself, you also have a positive effect on those around you.
“I pull myself together and get grounded in the New Paradigm.”
Self-care
10. Is there anything else you need to do to help yourself?
Does anything else need to happen in your environment so you can come from a grounded place?
Make a list so you can remember.
Change
11. Do you have old agreements or assumptions you need to change? You can find them by examining your life and asking yourself:
“What’s been working and what hasn’t been working?”
Are you willing to let go of things that are not working? Release any agreements to hold on. “I’m willing and able to let go and make the changes necessary for me now.”
Realization
12. Keep looking at the Circle while you relax and think of something that you love very much.
Have you been unknowingly jeopardizing things that matter to you?
If you have, what can you do to set it right?
Make note of the ideas that come to you.
Clean Up
13. Use Rat’s Circle to sweep any confusion or clutter out of your mind and send the debris up to the Light. In your mind’s eye, sweep it all away!
Then close the doors behind you that let in all that garbage.
Notice how much better your body feels when your mind gets clear.
Make note of ideas that come to you about how you might remove the clutter out of your environment.
REDIRECT
14. Imagine that your Spirit can gently take you by your heart and head. Let it turn you around – toward the direction of your highest good.
Allow an uplifting and generative flow of life affirming energy to circulate through your body.
DECISION
15. Use this Circle to help you close the pathways in your mind that would lead you into ungrounded and confusing places.
“All holes are sealed and healed.”
“I follow the guidance of my Soul.”
You probably feel much clearer now.
Inner Guidance
16. Take some deep breaths and move your body around again. Let your shoulders drop. Listen to that calm, gentle voice that comes from your heart. What is it telling you?
New BeginningS
17. Allow a generative energy to begin in your solar plexus. Feel it moving up into your heart and let it fill up your entire body – all the way to your fingertips. You are creating a new template for a new beginning.
Divine Protection
18. Finish by gazing at this symbol to confirm your connection with the new and beneficial energies of the New Paradigm.
“My mind and body are open and clear to receive generative life force.”
“All harmful energy channels have been closed down.”
“Divine Protection fills my environment completely in all directions – including above and below.”
Remember that the need to unify in common ground is real! The changes are taking place over time and you will likely need to do this exercise repeatedly. Take yourself for a gentle walk in nature or have a soak in a hot bath with Epsom/Sea Salts to cleanse yourself.

#26 Bat – bat medicine is the power of not knowing. When we allow the vibration of balanced intuition to guide us, we become open to miraculous resources.

small mind to the larger mind

Bat Medicine
Being guided by Love is a process of letting go. The things you have done in the past will not work now. Surrendering to your intuition is the best plan. Be willing to change your attitude, because poor attitudes breed poor intuition.
Animals use their senses keenly to find things that will benefit them. Unfortunately, most humans rely far too heavily on only one sense. As a result, we often miss the little details that could make all the difference in how a situation turns out.
You are not as stuck as you think you are. Trust your intuition and use vibration to guide you. If the “vibe” around you isn’t right, you will feel it in your gut. Surrender to your Soul’s unique vibration to heal yourself and remove all kinds of “bad vibes” that trouble you. Once you are clear, new ideas and resources can fly into your being.
Sensing the best in any situation requires that you sense the best in yourself. Be open and receptive now for new experiences.

Any person who is going through serious loss could experience emotional shock.
The symptoms of emotional shock are disorientation, numbness, mental confusion or fragmentation. A person may even disconnect and leave their body. This includes people who are witness to traumatic experiences in some way.
Sometimes people who’ve just received bad news or experienced a traumatic 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.
The shock response is natural and not a sign of spiritual, mental or emotional weakness. It is a physiological event. Nevertheless, if the person doesn’t get a chance to get grounded in their body again – or if they’re not able to – serious problems may develop. Blocked energy and a constant state of fight or flight takes its toll over time. Statements like: “I can’t think straight,” “My life was shattered” or “I feel disconnected” describe the experience of emotional shock.
If any of the above seems familiar, you can go through this mind exercise step by step to help you access your own innate healing abilities and bring yourself back into balance.
Simply follow the directions and see if you can free up some of the confusion and conflict that comes from shock. Here’s an example of how it works. Simply gaze softly at the Circle while you contemplate each of these positive affirmations:
“I reclaim and balance my five senses.”
“I focus them to be present and aware of my body.”
“I use them to become aware of my environment and what’s important to me right now.”
“I focus on life affirming actions that benefit my well-being and happiness.”
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.
Let yourself breathe and relax as much as possible. Don’t worry if the images move around or change in any way. That just means the Circles are working and that your mind and body are relaxing.
Be sure to go through the entire formula and at the end, give yourself time to rest and integrate.
Healing Emotional Shock and Confusion
Step One:
Take several deep breaths and relax while you look at this Circle that releases shock and inner conflict.
Imagine you can use it to focus in on a conflict or painful experience that’s blocking your way. If your mind is blank, relax into how “blank” 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, sit back and take a couple more deep breaths. Imagine that the darkness or heaviness is 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:
The next step is to bring your senses into balance so that you can see and hear things without the distortion that often accompanies shock.
As you breathe deeply, let this Circle help you to adjust the volume and pitch of your senses to just the right level for you.
Soon you will be able to hear that “calm, gentle voice” inside that reminds you about what matters the most to you:
“I see things as they really are. My senses are balanced. I reconnect with what matters the most.”
Step Three:
When a person is recovering from emotional shock, their energy may express some instability like being scattered, reversed or even shut down completely. Let this Key help you make corrections and repair any glitches, holes or blockages in your system.
Keep relaxing with it until you feel the jagged energy smoothing out and the calm energy of your Soul beginning to come through.
Step Four:
If your gut feels tight or uncomfortable, use this Reiki Chakra Key for your solar plexus to help you relax and get back into balance there. Your solar plexus is that soft place in your belly where your ribs go up. Just take some nice breaths and feel it relax as you say to yourself:
“It’s safe. I feel safe and more relaxed with every breath.”
Step Five:
Sometimes a person who’s had an emotional shock will be disoriented and feel a bit “out of their body.” In case that’s happening with you, take a few minutes to consciously bring yourself back into your body.
“I am at home in my center. I am inside myself.”
You can open and close your hands. Move your fingers and wiggle your toes around. Notice the time and where you are. These actions all help you recover from emotional shock.
Step Six:
Make sure that you’re no longer planted in that old experience, whatever it was. Let this Circle unearth old agreements, assumptions or conditioning that’s sucking you back into the past or holding you down.
“I uproot whatever is confusing me. I decide to get grounded in what’s true. The Earth supports me.”
There may be a lot, so take all the time you need to free yourself.
Step Seven:
Oftentimes, healing emotional shock and confusion requires a change in priorities. There may be certain plans, ideas or habitual patterns that are no longer relevant or constructive. Certain roles may get suddenly reversed. You can use this symbol for dissolving destructive blueprints to help you identify them and dissolve whatever is confusing you.
Actively imagine that the negative patterns in your mind are like heavy clouds or a jumbled maze of fears and nightmares.
Once you have the image, bring the pure light of the Sun in and dissolve the maze completely.
You’ll know that you’re done when you can see yourself standing in a beautiful open field with clear blue skies all around.
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 Eight:
Seal and heal any holes, leaks or openings in your energy field. Leaky energy may open you up to danger or allow harmful energies to attach to you. It can also leave you feeling drained and exhausted.
As you gaze at the Circle, imagine harmful leaks and openings are closing as if they were never there.
“All holes are healed and sealed.”
“I follow the direction of my Soul’s protection.”
Step Nine:
Make sure you aren’t getting sucked up into any old habits or energy drains.
“I deconstruct old habits that cause me harm.”
“I close up any energy drains so that I may recover my strength.”
“I ask for the void to be filled in with healthy, life affirming energy.”
Step Ten:
Now, it’s important to make sure you’re grounded. Without proper grounding, you could get frantic, distracted and confused. That’s not what you want. What you decide to do matters now more than ever!
Let this Circle for grounding firmly on Mother Earth help you. Place both feet on the ground and your hands on each knee while you use these affirmations:
“I decide to get grounded.” “My energy is getting coherent and the Earth supports me.”
Again, take all the time you need with this.
Step Eleven:
Bring your attention to the space that surrounds your body.
“I strengthen and repair my auras for greater protection.”
“I feel protected in my body and safe in my own space.”
Step Twelve.
To finish this exercise, let your heart recover. This Circle will help you to balance your heart energy and clear away any residual heaviness. Breathe deeply and take your time.
“I feel the heaviness lifting up out of my heart.”
“I let it go and send it to the Sun where it can be transformed.”
“I have the strength and resilience to shine my light.”
Now that you’re finished with the exercise, consider taking a nice walk outside. Nothing grounds you like being in nature after an emotional shock.

If you are confused, feeling out of balance or in need of overwhelm help – Welcome! You are in the right place!
SOS offers support for your inner journey…
What are the main reasons a person may need overwhelm help?
The first reason would be that there’s simply too much information coming at the person and their mind is not able to filter priorities properly.
The second reason would be that the person has placed too much of their attention and energy on a certain problem or goal that is unrealistic or cannot be accomplished under the current circumstances.
The third reason why a person would need overwhelm help would be that the way forward has become obscured. The circumstances are dark, dim, unclear or hard to understand.
The fourth reason could be that the environment has become too toxic or chaotic for a person to be able to cope in the way that they normally would.
All of these reasons have a negative effect on your physical health and can put stress on your mental / emotional health as well.
Unfortunately, people are becoming more and more overwhelmed by sudden emotional or environmental changes, toxic entanglements or triggered PTSD episodes.
A person needing overwhelm help could experience:
Sudden and extreme exhaustion.
Fight or flight panic attacks.
Unexplained feelings of emergency; anxiety, depression and fear.
Increased irritation and susceptibility to illnesses, viruses or colds.
It’s not a good idea to remain in a fight or flight state for long. When a person is in a chronic state of overwhelm, the stage is set for depression, illness or paranoia to set in. If these symptoms are already present, the person may experience an overload or energy collapse.
The self-careformulas from SOS Soul Oriented Solutions gently interrupt
unhealthy brain activity and then replace it with constructive thoughts and energy flow.
Connecting with Hope
They are simple and easy to follow by design. When going through a formula, think of it as being gently led from a dark place into the light where you can connect with Hope.
The Intuitive Learning Circles stimulate the central nervous system in order to assist it in its natural healing process of expelling trauma and the stuck energy that surrounds it. Using SOS as a daily practice is a powerful form of self-healing with affirmations where you can easily slow down, communicate with your unconscious and reorganize how you’re taking care of yourself.
