Letting Go and Moving On
Help for Moving On from Deteriorating Situations
Many people are having a difficult time being stable because they are getting pulled out of the present by deteriorating circumstances and emotional attachments that threaten to overthrow their wellbeing. One remedy would be to make sure you’re grounded in the New Paradigm of common ground for the common good by going through Kuan Yin’s I Ching Reading for moving on.
“If you are experiencing a situation where there is:
- a great deal of incompetence
- argumentative persons
- societal discord
- a break up in friendship or family relations
- refusal to participate in cooperative ventures or
- depressed health due to a toxic environment…
The situation is definitely in the flow of the I Ching Hexagram #23 – DETERIORATION.
In times such as this, hostile displays of self-righteousness will absolutely backfire. This is not the time to push your expectations or agendas. Withdraw and consolidate your energy as best as you can. Take care and stay strong within yourself. Do not push your personal agenda regarding this particular situation and withdraw as much investment of your time or money as you reasonably can. Unwillingness to let go will most probably result in loss.
The best things to do when dealing with DETERIORATING situations are:
- Take care of yourself very sensibly and find acceptance of the times within yourself.
- Be generous and kind to those you care about – especially yourself!
- Maintain your inner connection to Hope.
- Keep your focus on those things that are working. They are the important opportunities that are available to you now.
- Keep emotional reactions to a minimum and refrain from jumping to conclusions.
- Meditate, surrender to the fact that all things must end. Know that eventually there will come a change for the better.
If you deal with a situation of DETERIORATION with an attitude of ‘I’m going to fix this’ or ‘I need to stop what’s happening,’ you will actually give the situation more fuel, prolong it and maybe even escalate it. When you let go, Nature can take its course. In most cases, the negativity will feed on itself and die out naturally. This reality may be unpleasant however, acceptance is what is called for.”
Here’s some help through a Transformation Game called “Letting Go and Moving On.”
Gently gaze at these Intuitive Learning Circles one at a time and consider the question or affirmation that goes with each Step. This process helps you to become aware of what’s bothering you, so that you can make a different choice to use your energy more productively and in tune with your Inner Guidance.
Step 1:
What is a situation you’re experiencing now that is DETERIORATING? Trust the message that comes through from your deepest, wisest guidance.
If your mind is blocked or blank go here and read about Fixated Thoughts or Shock>
Step 2:
Enhance your inner guidance by calming your senses and bringing them into balance. Some may be turned up too high and some may be too low. Relax and allow your eyes to rest gently on the Circle below.
Take some deep breaths and let your shoulders drop. Adjust the volume to your senses. Do that both crossed and uncrossed over the midline of your body to achieve greater mind body integration.
Step 3:
Release your conditioning to personally attach to that situation.
“I uproot the conditioning, beliefs and behaviors that are pulling me into this DETERIORATING situation.”
“I release them to the Light where they can safely be transformed.”
Step 4.
Can you identify the emotion that pulls you towards the DETERIORATING situation?
Once you have identified what you’re feeling, take a moment and just relax into it. Are you picking up on somebody else’s emotions or your own? If it’s some one’s else’s, resolve to let it go as part of this process.
If it’s yours, it could be a phobia, an obsession or a compulsion. Relax and use these positive affirmations to help you:
“I accept that this emotional state is present and that it must change. All things eventually change. I am bigger than the emotions I’m feeling.”
If you can, rub your shoulders and neck for a minute or two. The more you relax and accept what you’re feeling, the easier it will release and dissipate.
Step 5:
When stepping out of a DETERIORATING situation, it helps to be grounded in a new mindset that can actually support your goals.
If you meditate on the “map” available in this image, your mind can get a better grasp of how it can reorganize your energy in the New Paradigm we’ve entered…
This template called “Common Ground for the Common Good” is based on the concepts of equality, peaceful co-operation and balanced prosperity. This imprint encourages us to establish a mindset where we can work with each other and the Planet going into the future.
Step 6:
To help you get centered in that new environment, bring your awareness to your body. Go to your solar plexus area and open your Third Chakra, the home to your Essence and “gut instincts.”
Use this Reiki Chakra Key to release any toxic energy in that energy center. Take whatever time is needed to let the chakra repair itself and get back into balance.
Step 7:
Bring your awareness to your Heart Center. Allow this Reiki Chakra Key to help you open and balance it as well.
Keep relaxing and breathing into it. Eventually, you will be able to feel positive life energy radiating out. The light of your Heart Chakra is shining!
Step 8.
Visualize a golden web of life connecting these two main energy centers.
“I strengthen and increase my level of inner connection and confidence.”
Step 9.
Let this symbol for Divine Protection help you to close down harmful energy channels from the past.
Once they’re shut down, open up to a positive flow of chi’ and connect up with helpful communication channels.
Step 10.
Now you can gaze softly at this Soul Prayer Chart that deepens your connection with the power of your Soul. Affirm that your energy system can adapt to the changes that are needed. Continue to relax and breathe as you use this affirmation:
“When it comes to the situation of _________, I exist and am empowered to let go safely and manifest my highest good.”
Step 11:
Connect with your Soul’s unique vibration and energy. Continue to relax and breathe as you use this affirmation:
“I am resonating with the vibration of my Soul. I strengthen my unique gifts and talents.”
Step 12:
Use this Chart to help you detach from negative energies around your situation. These may include energies from other people, even close friends or family members.
Like a healing balm, imagine that a loving coat of peace and comfort is pouring down over you.
“I release all attachments and energy signatures that are not from my Soul.”
“I detach from destructive energies, lies, curses, sabotage and illnesses.”
Step 13:
Consciously close down any destructive energy channels that are coming from the DETERIORATING situation.
“I am no longer entangled with that DETERIORATING situation.”
Step 14.
Now, get fully present. Use this affirmation to help you:
“I live in the present and deal with what is.”
If you’re having trouble getting present, it can help to close your fingers into fists and open them again, several times. If you get overwhelmed or feel a strong emotion come up, go back to Step #2 and repeat the process to relax and dissipate the emotion.
Step 15:
Now that you are present, ask your deepest wisest guidance:
“What action can I take to help me to move on?”
Take as much time as you need to reorganize your thoughts and energy around positive action.
Step 16:
Consciously re-direct your energy and attention toward a situation you want to encourage instead. Move your attention and energy away from the DETERIORATING situation.
“I turn my energy toward productive activities and plans.”
Step 17:
Use this symbol to consciously release any remaining mental, emotional or spiritual baggage that’s interfering with your freedom.
You can visualize them as dark clouds or entanglements that you surrender to the Light to be transformed. Stay with it until you feel they’re completely gone.
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 18:
Finish the game by closing off the pathways in your mind that lead back to the DETERIORATING situation.
“I let go and seal off the ways I prolong or maintain suffering for myself or anyone else.”
Congratulations!
Having the faith that you don’t need to be in control of a DETERIORATING situation is a big help in coming to terms with change and moving on in a positive way.

Healing Emotional Shock
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.
These are all ways that the unconscious mind protects us during a traumatic event.
Note: If you are going through a serious physical disruption or environmental crisis, please go to Stabilize During a Shocking Event.
This self-care formula can help when you are:
- Feeling stuck, immobilized, detached or trapped
- Unable to rest, relax and let go
- Caught in a blank or fixated state of mind
- Waking up at night worried, with obsessive thoughts
- Reliving painful experiences
- Alternately feeling trapped and shattered.
Using the Intuitive Learning Circle method for healing emotional shock ~
Sometimes people who’ve received bad news or experienced a traumatic event will tell you that they’re fine and not to worry about them. They may get confused or shut down and not be able to explain what’s happening to 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.
Any person who’s going through serious loss could experience emotional shock. The symptoms 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. These are all ways that the unconscious mind protects us during a traumatic event.
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 formula step by step to help you access your own innate healing abilities and bring yourself back into balance.
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
Step One:
Take several deep breaths and relax while you look at Condor’s Medicine Circle that releases shock and inner conflict.
Imagine you can use it to focus in on a conflict or painful experience that’s been difficult to move on from. Somehow, it’s always blocking your way. If your mind has gone blank, relax into how “blank” it is. You may get a sense of what it’s about, or you may not.
Once you find the fixation, sit back and relax. Take several deep breaths.
If emotions come up, relax into them. Imagine that whatever’s happening – the darkness, the chaos or heaviness is also relaxing.
Let it soften and melt away, like ice under a beautiful beam of Sunlight.
Keep your attention on it until it’s completely gone.
Repeat the process with other blockages or conflicts that come up.
Step Two:
While you’re relaxing, use this Soul Prayer Chart to remember another time when you were very happy or feeling good about an important physical goal.
What color or felt sense relaxes you and feels good?
If you can increase the color or sensation to be stronger and more vibrant, you’ve found your personal Soul Color or vibration.
Now you can tap into your personal power and naturally bring it into balance, which gives you protection and relieves stress.
Being in balance makes everything easier! Take a few minutes to relax and enjoy that feeling.
Step Three:
The next step is to bring your senses into balance with River Medicine so that you can see, feel and hear things without the distortion that often accompanies shock.
As you breathe deeply, let the Circle help you to adjust the volume and pitch of your senses to just the right level for you.
Not too high – and not too low.
Soon you will be able to hear that “calm, gentle voice” inside that reminds you to pay attention to what matters the most for you.
You have greater awareness of things as they actually are.
You are present and sensing your surroundings much more clearly.
Step Four:
When a person is recovering from emotional shock, their energy may express some instability like being scattered, reversed or even shut down completely.
If that’s happening for you, let this Correction Key help you 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 coming through even stronger.
Step Five:
If your gut feels tight or uncomfortable, use this Reiki Chakra Key for your Solar Plexus Chakra 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 the tension melt away again.
It’s safe. You feel safe and more relaxed with every breath.
It’s okay to be in your body.
Allow time to let your energy settle.
Step Six:
Now you can let your heart center recover. This Reiki Chakra Key helps you to reconnect with your Heart Chakra energy and unwind any residual tightness.
Breathe deeply and take your time.
Your balance is returning. You can feel the tightness unwinding.
Allow any heaviness to lift up out of your heart and send it to the Sun where it can be transformed.
You are gaining the strength and resilience you need to let your Light shine.
Step Seven:
Sometimes a person who’s healing from 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 with Starlight Medicine to consciously bring yourself back into your body.
You are back at home in your heart and solar plexus.
If you’re having trouble, notice the time and where you are. You can open and close your hands into fists. Move your fingers and wiggle your toes around.
Or, you can turn your eyes to the right of you and then to the left. Notice what is above and below – in front and behind you. Then, close your eyes and rest for a moment.
These actions all help you reorient after an emotional shock.
Step Eight:
Now, it’s important to make sure that your energy can synchronize and ground in the new paradigm of Common Ground for the Common Good. Without proper grounding, you could get distracted and confused enough to go back to the deterioration and chaos of the old paradigm.
That’s not what you want. Deciding to move with Mother Nature rather than against her matters now more than ever!
Let Electric Eel’s Medicine help you. Place both feet on the ground and your hands on each knee while you meditate on getting grounded.
Your energy is getting more and more coherent and the Earth supports you.
Again, take all the time you need with this.
Step Nine:
At this point, you’ll want to make sure you don’t fall back into any old holes or get sucked into destructive habits.
Fly Medicine will help you deconstruct those habits and rabbit holes that have been causing you harm for good! Imagine them collapsing like old sewer lines.
Then, close up any energy drains so that you can recover your strength.
Once the holes are collapsed, ask for the leftover empty space to be filled in with healthy, life affirming energy.
Step Ten:
As you gaze at this symbol for Divine Protection, let it help you adapt to the new energy channels that affirms life through the Element of Air.
Begin by closing down old, harmful energy channels from the past.
Then, allow the beneficial chi’ to flow through you and support you going forward.
Notice that this energy is much lighter and quicker than the chi of the old paradigm, which has turned stagnant and toxic to life.
Finally, you’re ready to connect with new channels of communication.
Visualize all the lines coming together and connecting into the center circle.
Step Eleven:
Oftentimes, letting go of emotional shock requires a significant change in priorities. There may be certain systems, plans, ideas or habitual patterns that have become negative and are no longer relevant or constructive. Your understanding of things 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 destructive or negative patterns in your mind are like heavy clouds or a jumbled maze of confusion, 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: It’s time to stop sending negative emotions to the Earth, she already has too much to handle now. Use the Earth for planting seeds of happiness and life – not death!
Step Twelve:
Seal and heal any leaks or openings in your energy field. Leaky energy can leave you open to danger or allow harmful energies to attach to you. Open pathways that lead back to past suffering can also leave you feeling drained and exhausted.
As you gaze at Piranha’s Medicine Circle, imagine dangerous leaks, doors and pathways are closing as if they were never there.
All holes are healed and sealed. You are following the direction of your Soul’s protection.
Step Thirteen:
To complete your healing for emotional shock, take your time with this Soul Prayer Chart that helps you repair and refocus the auric field around you.
Bring your attention back to your body and the space that surrounds it.
Make an intention to repair all rips or tears in your aura and then strengthen it with your Soul Color for greater confidence and autonomy.
Continue until you feel protected in your body and safe in your own space.
Congratulations!
Now that you’re finished with the formula, consider taking a nice walk outside. Nothing grounds you like being in nature after an emotional shock.

SOS – Overwhelm Help
If you’re feeling lost, out of balance or wanting overwhelm help – welcome! You are in the right place!
SOS offers 24/7 support for your journey through challenging times…
What are the main reasons a person may need overwhelm help?
The first reason would be that there’s simply too much happening. Overwhelming events or information is 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 particular goal or solution that is unrealistic or cannot be accomplished under the current circumstances.
The third reason why a person could need overwhelm help would be that the way forward has become obscured. The circumstances are dark, dim, uncertain and 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 extreme stress on your mental / emotional health as well.
Unfortunately, people are becoming more and more overwhelmed by sudden emotional or environmental changes, toxic environments and extreme weather events. These challenges can easily trigger 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 frustration causing increased susceptibility to emotional outburst, illnesses, viruses or colds.
It’s not a good idea to remain in a fight or flight state for long. When a person is caught in a state of overwhelm, the stage is set for chronic depression, illness or paranoia to set in. If these symptoms are already present, the person may experience an overload or energy collapse.
The self-care formulas from SOS Soul Oriented Solutions have been put together to gently interrupt experiences of shock and overwhelm so that they can be replaced with a calmer sense of presence. What follows is more constructive thoughts and balanced energy flow.
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.

Self-care for Loss In Uncertain Times
Soul Oriented Solutions: A Gentle Meditation about Emotional Stress and Self-care for Loss ~
Many people are experiencing deep levels of anxiousness, distress and fear around our current situation due to a variety of events. These feelings can come on suddenly and be very overwhelming. You might have lost a relative, a job or an important friendship. You could be facing a health challenge or even a loss in your purpose and sense of self.
Or, you may be standing on the sidelines, watching the world you love suffer while you feel at a loss for something helpful to do.
In situations like these, it can take a while to regain your balance. What are some ways to provide self-care for loss and bring some level of emotional relief?
If you can find a way to tune into your deepest resources, you’ll discover that you’re never completely alone, even in your darkest hours.
To help out, I’d like to share this self-care formula that uses positive affirmations and the Intuitive Learning Circles. You can use it day or night, whenever you are:
- Asking for help in a difficult situation
- Stressed over a lost job or income
- Grieving a loss of any kind
- Feeling pulled into a negative state of mind
- Recovering from an abusive experience – past or present
- Dealing with a serious or long-term illness
- Preparing for an arduous challenge or surgery
- Coming to terms with tragedy, loss or death.
Here’s an example of how the Circles can prepare you restore balance.
Simply gaze softly at the image while you contemplate the positive affirmations that go with it for for a minute or so. Relax and breathe:
“I bring my senses into balance.”
“I focus them so to help me be calmer, more present and aware of what’s important.”
“I use my senses to be more aware of where I am and what I’m doing.”
“I focus on thoughts and actions that are genuinely helpful and productive.”
Next, you can continue to prepare for Self-care for Loss by allowing this Reiki Chakra Key to open your heart center. It helps to place your right hand over the center of your chest while you gaze at the symbol. Here’s a a couple of suggested affirmations:
“I understand and have compassion for the suffering of myself and others.”
“I have peace and balanced prosperity in my heart. I choose life.”
Strong emotions or insights may come up. The image may move, rotate, vibrate or change color. Don’t worry. That happens sometimes. It just means it’s working to help you feel better. Once the energy calms down a bit, you can move on to the remaining Circles with each of their affirmations to continue the process.
Your heartfelt intention is important and needs to be communicated. Use this Reiki Chakra Key to help you connect your prayers with your heart. Become aware of the Master Chakras located on each hand between the thumb and the index finger. Let them get open and balanced. Then, imagine you can connect them with your heart. These affirmations can help:
“My prayers are connecting with my heart center.”
“I ask to receive guidance, clarity and healing from my Inner Wisdom.”
You might want to journal some of your thoughts so that you can talk about what comes up later with a trusted counselor or friend. If so, get out some paper and something to write with as you go through the steps.
To finish this first part, it takes energy to get better. You may have the feeling that your life force is being drained right out of you. You could be sending energy to the past or old habits that have been harmful to you. Relax and gaze softly at the Fly’s Circle from Grifts from the Rainforest. Let it help you deconstruct those old mindsets and close the drains that are exhausting you.
“I shut down all drains or holes that are causing me to lose energy.”
Now you’re ready to begin the main part of Self-care for Loss.
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 move at anytime in any way to help you embody your experience!
Self-care for Loss
Step One: Ask for Help
Breathe in deeply, all the way to your belly while you reflect on this Soul Prayer Chart for Divine Assistance.
If you could ask for something that would genuinely be helpful, what would it be? Place your request in the center, open space of the chart and imagine you can send your breath to it.
Continue with your breathing until you feel a friendly and pleasant exchange of energy.
Step Two – Support
Imagine that you can bring relief and relaxation into all parts of your body, mind and spirit while you continue to breathe.
Step Three ~ Peace
What do you think is the main question, difficulty or burden you’re dealing with right now? Take a few moments and put it into your own words.
If there’s a blockage or resistance, are you ready to let go of whatever it is and find a solution? If not, why not?
Step Four – Release
If you can, imagine that difficulty or burden is beginning to melt and soften up. You can release the tension around anything that’s bothering you right now. Your shoulders are dropped. Your jaw is relaxed.
Hardened thoughts are melting like ice under the light of the Sun.
Keep softening the tension until it’s all gone.
Remember to do that both crossed and uncrossed.
Step Five – From Self-care for Loss to Divine Blessings
Continue to relax and let your mind turn to helpful channels of generative life force that are available through the Element of Air.
Use this symbol to help you close old, stagnant, erratic and unstable channels of energy.
Next, you can open to a lighter flow of chi that gives protection and increases positive life force.
Finally, connect with new communication channels by imagining the lines all coming together and connecting into the central spoke.
Step Six – Soul Vision
Now it’s much easier to connect with the wisdom of your Soul. Under this new light you have access to expanded awareness and perception of what’s possible.
Consider what your life could be without this difficulty you’re concerned about. What would it be like if the burdens were lifted? Can you imagine it?
Sense the experience as much as you can in detail.
See it, hear it, taste it, smell it and feel it.
Step Seven – Remove Your Burdens
Visualize sending all those burdens to where ever they need to go to resolve themselves. Surrender them completely and feel the heaviness lifting up and off of you.
You have done the best that you can under the circumstances.
If you can, reclaim your faith and other important Soul Resources.
Step Eight – Inner Direction
Gently contemplate this symbol to help you gain insight and spiritual direction about appropriate things to do in this situation.
Imagine you can call upon Love and your Ancestors for support.
Is there something that Love would tell you to do?
