Self-care and Personal Growth through Gifts from the Rainforest
#7 Snake Medicine announces transcendence and initiation into a new stage of life. By peeling away any “old skin”, we are able to move on freely.
Have you noticed a fundamental change in yourself or in a relationship that needs to be consciously attended to?
Is there some extreme behavior you have outgrown and need to let go of?
Healing Action: See yourself and your situation as they really are. Let go of old, negative habits. Shed old personalities and extreme behavior.
Snake Sheds its Skin
The snake renews itself periodically by shedding its skin,
revealing a new and more vibrant version of itself.
Like the snake, you have transcended
the limitations of who you thought you were.
Your appearance no longer suits you.
Peel away the mask that hides your beauty.
Honor the old.
Celebrate the new.
Mind Body Integration
For best results, gaze softly at the Circle both crossed over the midline of the body and uncrossed so that the communication is more complete.
Intuitive Learning Circles help you access your inner guidance and self-confidence to make proactive changes. Simply relax and gaze at the Circles while contemplating its message and positive affirmations. Your intuition will come forward and give you the help that you seek.
Further Exploration into Snake Medicine:
Snake Medicine
You have activated your spiritual will and are now moving toward a higher purpose for you and your world. You’re ready to go beyond the extreme “either/or” mentality and graduate to the “and” consciousness of balance and unity.
You’re beginning to understand that things are not either black or white, good or bad – swinging from one extreme to the other. They exist together in the vast continuum of all that exists between Heaven and Earth.
Let the dual aspects of Snake teach you how to strike a meaningful balance. She may advise you to expel extreme ideas that have been poisoning your hopes and dreams. She knows that ideas are like air – they are everywhere, traveling freely, belonging to no one. If you like an idea, apply it to your life and pass it on. If you don’t like it, just let it go.
With this new perspective, you may want to revisit lost hopes and see if you desire to incorporate them back into your life. The way to do this is to bring different levels of yourself into balance by addressing the following forms of extravagance and ignorance:
Complete unfinished business.
Clear up debts that you owe or are owed.
Speak up regarding issues that have been bothering you.
Be done with disloyalty towards your Soul’s purpose, such as petty dramas and ego games.
Come back into your power.
Doing these things will help you set yourself right with the natural flow of the Universe and give you new energy to accomplish your dreams. The critical mind may object, often very loudly, however you now recognize that the ego is not to be trusted when it comes to matters of integrity and/or personal power. These are significant blocks that have hindered inner transformation up until this point. If you ignore them, your energy will be drawn back into feeding negativity and fear.
If you are dealing with your shadow side and healing disloyalty, shed any lies that you may have been telling yourself. These lies come in the form of extremes, denial, jealousy, judgment or vengeance, which have created imbalance and illness within you.
Shamans often refer to this kind of healing as “uncrossing your path”, and the truth is, we always do it to ourselves, usually by following someone else’s path, rather than our own. Successfully making this transition into Unity and Love will expand the possibilities regarding where you can go.
See yourself and your situation as they really are. In that way you will rid yourself of indecision and move forward into your higher good.
Snake Medicine is an excerpt from Gifts from the Rainforest

If you’re like most of us, you’re overwhelmed by the speed and amount of alarming changes that are taking place. So much of what used to be “normal” is gone. One moment, life seems to be moving along okay and then, in a flash, conditions have completely changed! What do we need to learn to know how to change with all these changes?
Whether you’re feeling anxious about the increase in violent behavior, health challenges, finances, the environment, relationships or your work situation – the underlying matrix of cultural relations is falling away and new lines of communication need to be constructed. We are all being called upon to find new ways to organize our thoughts and behaviors.
It’s no wonder that so many of us are feeling emotionally drained and anxious. Under these conditions, it’s easy to bounce between impatience, denial and helplessness about what’s actually happening around us. Our attention is getting pulled this way and that. Our bodies are worn out and our hearts and minds are split in a hundred directions!
The 64 Hexagrams in the I Ching or Book of Change have much to teach us about the importance of being flexible and knowing how to change.
For example, Hexagram #49 CHANGING says:
“The forces at work in the situation are in conflict, leaving the path open to change. Yet the work of bringing about such a change is as difficult as it is important… Clarity, forethought, and great devotion are now required to achieve your purpose.”
In Hexagram #29 DANGER, Line 5 says: “Take the simple and direct approach to solving your problems and over coming difficulties. Strive for clarity of mind. Do not clutter your actions with useless pretense, since it will only confuse the situation.”
In Hexagram #6 CONFLICT, the ancient text states: “At a time when social unity is most important, it is significantly lacking. There are misunderstandings brought about by basic philosophical differences and they cannot be overcome by forceful measures… This CONFLICT will cause you to stop and reconsider your original premise.”
Hexagram #38 CONTRADICTION leaves us with this advice: “Your best course of action now is to affirm friendly relations. Avoid being drawn into any questionable schemes. Do not make a grab for position. Use the existing polarity to emphasize the need for more co-operative conditions or for far-sighted differentiations.” ~ The I Ching Workbook, by R.L. Wing
Transformation Game: Learning How To Change in a Changing World.
You can discover how to change more gracefully while keeping your integrity by going through this Transformation Game. When you slow down and take the time to go within, you gain a deeper understanding of what you’re really struggling with. Not only that, you can find the motivation to change how you’re responding in a more effective way!
Directions: Simply gaze at the Circle while contemplating the positive affirmations. Breathe deeply and allow yourself to relax as much as possible.
“I reclaim and balance my rational senses.”
“I focus them to be present and keep tuning into my body to determine what I need.”
“I utilize them to notice my environment so I can respond appropriately.”
“I use them to find solutions, opportunities and innovations that will help me adapt to the changes.”
“I focus on actions that benefit my health, happiness and _________.”
You might also be having a difficult time adjusting to all the significant environmental changes that are taking place. Sudden reversals, blockages and changes in momentum can cause our subtle energy fields to react in unusual ways.
This Correction Key can help you correct any rough glitches or reversals that you may be experiencing.
Relax with it for a few minutes until things smooth out and you can begin to feel your Soul coming through.
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 work with the Circles, cross and uncross a hand or foot over the midline of your body. Use a soft focus and breathe patiently. This will help you access more information from your unconscious mind. Let any negative self-talk go by breathing through it.
Feel free to move at anytime in any way to help you let go!
Once you feel ready, see if you can slow down and let yourself focus on your priorities. Ask for true spiritual guidance that comes from within.
“I slow down and breathe while I turn my attention to what matters most.”
Gently, notice the specific aspects of your life that are changing rapidly and need some extra help.
Next, notice if you have aspects that feel stuck, closed off or even going in reverse.
How would you describe these things?
You might want to get out a pen and paper to make note of some of the impressions you get.
Contemplate the medicine from Butterfly for a moment or two:
“I ask my Inner Wisdom for assistance about what needs to change and how to do it in the most positive way.”
What needs to happen?
Bring your attention to the center of your chest. Let your heart be involved in this conversation. Are you willing to listen?
Empower your ability to choose in this situation.
“I exist and what I do matters.” “I can respond to this situation in a productive and helpful way.”
“I bring myself into alignment with my highest good.”
Now you’re ready to go through the rest of the game in the same way by asking yourself questions while you gaze softly at each accompanying Circle. Doing so will help you assess where you’re at.
Take your time, the answers might not come right away. The Circles are helping your mind to clear away mental and emotional resistance to change.
“In this particular situation, how am I dealing with change?
Is that working for me? Is there something I need to change about how I’m dealing with the situation? Am I doing the best I can?”
“Am I stuck on something? Shut down? Unwilling? Is it possible that I’m being too hard on myself? What is the concern?”
If you’re stuck, you might be able to deal with it fairly easily by using Condor Medicine to clear conflict, resistance and fixated thinking.
Imagine that you can use the Circle like a bull’s eye to send healing energy to any conflicts or fixations you may be experiencing. Let go by imagining that the lines are going all limp and loose like spaghetti noodles. Or, you can imagine an iceberg melting away under the Sun.
Either way, be gentle with yourself. If you’re judging yourself too harshly, use the Circle to help you loosen up those rigid thoughts. If you’re shut down, use the Circle to bring your energy back to life! If you need to open up to creativity or dissolve toxic emotions, see yourself doing that. Move around and stretch in any way that you like.
Continue with your investigation about how to change…
“Am I holding onto past experiences that are no longer relevant?”
You can usually tell if you’re internalizing something because you’ll start to feel physical, mental, emotional or even spiritual irritation. If that’s happening, see if you can stop taking it personally and let it go. “I surrender these old experiences to the Light and turn to more proactive ways of dealing with change.”
There is no doubt that what we’re going through is hard. The best thing we can do in difficult situations is to think about what we can learn from them. “The most important take away for me in this situation is ________.” “I am learning ____________.” Be sure to write this down.
For a much deeper integration, trace around the Circle clockwise with your eyes, while you consider your take away thought.
Then, do the same as you trace your eyes around the square in the same direction, both crossed and uncrossed.
How To Change our Experiences – Choose New Ingredients
If we keep choosing ingredients from the past, the soup we call our lives will keep repeating itself over and over. For example, if we were born into a family that keeps choosing shame or blame, we will be liable to keep choosing those ingredients ourselves until we can become conscious of what we’re doing. If we want to change the flavor of our soup, it will help to change the ingredients we’re using!
By choosing ingredients such as self-worth, self-love or self-confidence we can learn how to change and create a better future.
*Note: if you have an updated copy of The Essential Human, you might want to go through Future Pacing (on page 140). Choose from the archetypes #1 – 42 to help you choose beneficial “ingredients” for creating your life. Ask yourself: “What ingredients am I choosing? Are there some ingredients that I would like to change?”
“I release harmful ingredients and access beneficial ingredients instead.”
One important new ingredient is the generative flow of chi’ that’s available to help us move with the quicker, lighter Element of Air. Use this symbol to help you access it.
“I close down all harmful energy channels.” “My mind and body are open to receive generative life force.”
“I connect with generative channels of communication in this new environment.”
New Agreements
Next, imagine that you can release any old agreements, assumptions or obligations that are keeping you stuck. Visualize them like contracts, burning up into nothingness with a violet flame. Here are some suggestions:
“I let go of outdated agreements that keep me stuck in old patterns or to take on someone else’s issues or emotions as my own.”
“I let go of being controlled by emotions or external manipulations.”
“I am willing to change when needed and let go of anyone or anything that is causing me harm.”
“I let go of my resistance to ________. I detach from ________. I remove myself from ________.” Etc.
“I maintain my inner balance and stability.”
New Decisions
Make some new decisions that support how to change more appropriately. Here are some suggestions:
“I decide to see this situation in a positive light.” or… I am capable and my Spirit helps me to handle change… I am free to change in accordance with my highest good… I allow other people the space to handle their own issues…”, etc.
“I decide to __________ and _______________,”
Renewed Presence
Connect with the Third Chakra at your Solar Plexus and let it open up. Relax and let the tightness go. Deep breathing and presence are your best friends in times of accelerated change! Move around or stretch again if you like.
Courage and Confidence
Keep breathing and give yourself a good dose of courage with the help of Jaguar Medicine:
“I surround myself with courage, confidence and strength.”
Seed Medicine can help you find any karmic seeds you may be holding that are causing you harm. They might not even be yours! It’s time to set things right. Send them to the Light so they can return to wherever they belong.
Reclaim whatever is yours – your ideas, your power, your own beneficial seeds of karma. Bring them home and nurture them gently.
Now it’s time to dissolve your connection to any underlying abuse, confusion or conflict. Use this symbol for Dissolving Destructive Blueprints and allow the Light to dissolve and lift them off of you.
“I let go of the mental, emotional and spiritual connections I still have to harmful patterns.”
Take your time and visualize them disappearing like dark clouds into the Light!
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 unhappiness and death!
Considering what you’ve learned from this situation, you may have made some decisions about certain situations that you want to close the door on. Use this Circle to seal and heal all leaks, holes or pathways that lead to back to any resistance or unnecessary suffering:
“All holes are sealed and healed.” “I follow the direction of my Soul’s protection.”
Imagine that your mind is like a computer where you can close all the tabs and windows that have been open for far too long!
Are you grounded in the New Paradigm of cooperation and balanced prosperity? If not, put your feet flat on the ground and let your energy organize around it now.
Congratulations!
It’s rarely easy to make changes of this magnitude, but once you know how to change with the changes rather than fighting against them, your situation is bound to improve! The I Ching leaves you with this thought:
“Remove discordant elements as they appear, throw out outmoded or stifling policies when they once again create problems, and establish far-reaching clarity about the future whenever the opportunity presents itself.” ~ The I Ching Workbook, R.L. Wing

Self-care and Personal Growth through Gifts from the Rainforest
#12 Rat energy warns us about the dangers of an untended, cluttered mind. When we cleanse our minds regularly, spiritual growth and happiness is affirmed.
Have you been physically, mentally, emotionally or spiritually polluted with some kind of garbage?
If so, what is your best response?
Healing Action: Clear the landscape of your mind regularly. Release mental and emotional garbage to the Light. Make it a space for blessings, rather than curses
The Hungry Rat
The rat feeds off of those things that have been discarded
and left to rot without thought.
When this condition is ignored,
dis-ease and pestilence is allowed to spread
throughout the entire community,
infecting even those on the periphery
who are innocent.
Do not leave your business unfinished
if you wish to be free of vermin.
Clean your house and learn from what has been wasted.
In that way, you may use your experiences to fuel
your spiritual growth and continued happiness.
Mind Body Integration
For best results, gaze softly at the Circle both crossed over the midline of the body and uncrossed so that the communication is more complete.
Intuitive Learning Circles help you access your inner guidance and self-confidence to make proactive changes. Simply relax and gaze at the Circle while contemplating its message and positive affirmations. Your intuition will come forward and give you the help that you seek.
Further Exploration into Rat Energy:
Rat medicine is about a necessary aspect of realizing inner peace. Disengage from negative mass consciousness with its messages of separation, inadequacy, paranoia, and fear. Imagine that the Circle can help you sweep them all up to the Light. Then, once your mind is clear, it’s much easier to align yourself with the mass consciousness of Love.
The personal ego supports the collective ego through denial and blocking energy, which allows toxic thoughts, emotions, attitudes and beliefs to flourish.
Rat Energy
When your mind starts racing and you’re too busy to stop and take a deep breath, you’re identifying with the herd mentality of the collective ego. Catch yourself before your ego runs away completely.
Stop to clear your mind by breathing deeply. You would do well to cleanse your inner landscape regularly, because there’s quite a bit of litter.
Ask Rat Energy about the current state of your mental and spiritual hygiene: “Are there any liars pulling at me? Am I leaving myself open to any untruths?”
If so, get quiet and close the doors on all that noise so you can get a better understanding of what’s happening.
If you have trouble meditating or being still, look at the Circle and tell yourself to stop focusing on what you’re trying to accomplish and relax. Let your mind calm down and notice how the body calms down as well.
Get peaceful and then send some of that peace out into the world. If you do this for yourself, activities and relationships will flow much easier.

A Transformation Game for Handling Karmic Entanglements ~
Rheanni Lightwater CHT, CKP, Reiki Master Teacher
Transformation Games can help you to identify problems, navigate change and clarify what’s really important to you. Simply relax and gaze at the Intuitive Learning Circles while contemplating the accompanying questions and positive affirmations. Let them help you clear karmic entanglements that pull you into harmful situations.
Relax and follow the directions… your intuition will come forward and give you the help that you seek!
Welcome to our Transformation Game for clearing karmic entanglements that tap into the Tarot card, Nine of Swords and the I Ching Hexagram #47 ADVERSITY.
* Illustration by Norbert Losche’ – Cosmic Tarot
This process is much like a past life regression. You will have the opportunity to clear karmic entanglements that have outlived their purpose and become a burden to your evolution.
It’s important to clear all Soul Contracts and agreements. If they aren’t resolved completely, the karma is still entangled and your mental continuum continues to behave as if the agreement were still in force. This causes a lot of unnecessary suffering for you and those around you.
What Are Karmic Entanglements?
Let me give you an example: A woman who was having trouble feeling settled in her life decided to try playing the game. While going through it, she glimpsed impressions from another life, seeing bare feet and a beat up old suitcase. Later on while she was dreaming, she saw herself clearly living a past life as a Hungarian orphan in Nazi Germany.
In her dream of that life, she was continually used as a slave and moved from place to place without being able to feel safe. She was eventually turned in to a work camp and lost her life without having any control at all.
As the woman brought herself back into her present life, she realized she was still operating under the cultural agreements that were in force back at that time.
Through the safety of this simple Transformation Game, she could release the shame, guilt and collective karma that was forced upon her. Gently, it brought her patterns of lack and uncertainty into consciousness so that she could relax and choose to move into a happier, more productive life.
Easy Steps to Play the Game:
Select an issue that’s causing a blockage in your mental continuum. Use it as a springboard to accelerate your spiritual growth and prepare you for your next step on your healing journey.
Follow directions to release your connection to negative influences from the past.
Read each step with its question or affirmation, one at a time.
Think about it while looking with a soft gaze at the Intuitive Learning Circle that goes with it. Make notes about the answers you get. That information will help you unravel your entanglement effectively.
Remember to RELAX! The Circles and symbols help you to access a light hypnotic trance where you can access your akashic records and gently clear harmful karmic entanglements so you can make room for positive, proactive change.
“My Higher Self is in charge of this healing.”
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.
When you gaze softly at the Intuitive Learning Circles, you are using self-hypnosis to clear out interference and reorganize how you use your energy. You may experience subtle energies running through you, or the Circles may move, rotate or even change color. That means that they’re working! Just keep breathing and relax. When you release your agreement with negative karma, fear or falsehood, you could be detaching from old family patterns, outdated religious vows, or even a larger, collective entanglement like racial slavery. Not only will you feel better in the days and weeks that follow, you’ll be clearing away obstacles to happiness!
So, let’s get started!
Step One:
What is a situation in your life that is causing you adversity? Gaze softly at the Circle below and relax as you contemplate the thoughts that come…
“What is harming me? What do I find particularly upsetting?”
Are you taking this too personally? If so, would you like to let it go? Remember to make notes, even if they don’t make sense at first.
Step Two:
As you gaze at this symbol, imagine that you’re scanning for information in your unconscious mind.
“Is this situation interfering with me on a karmic level?”
“Am I interfering with others on a karmic level?”
“Am I taking on karma from others?”
“Is this actually my issue? Someone else’s? Is this a collective pattern? Am I willing to let it go?”
Step Three:
It can help to identify the possible players in your entanglement more clearly. Use Snake medicine to help you call the information out from your unconscious mind…
“Can I tell who might be involved with this situation?”
Step Four:
Use this Intuitive Learning Circle that accesses agreements being held deep within your nervous system. With it, you can release karmic agreements you may have with others that keep you entangled with them. Imagine that the agreements are like contracts being thrown into a violet flame where they can burn up and diffuse the situation safely.
“I release all cultural agreements that connect me with harmful patterns such as racism, sexism, hatred and prejudice.”
“I release any vow, debt, curse or obligation that is secretly affecting me.”
“I let go of any judgement, shame, blame or harm I’m unwittingly participating in.”
“I release my agreements with ________________,” etc.
“I decide to source my responses from a place of Joy and Gratitude rather than greed, fear or vengeance.”
Step Five:
Now it’s time to become aware of the thoughts and energies behind what you’re experiencing.
Use Mosquito Medicine to gather past thoughts and beliefs about this situation.
Are the thoughts your own?
Are you tapping into someone else’s thoughts or emotions in any way? Some of both?
Can you tell what the nature of those thoughts are?
Do you need to go back and release any agreements about what you just discovered?
Are you resonating with an energy that’s causing you harm?
If you are, use Stingray Medicine to bring your attention to the low vibration of that energy in your field.
The next few steps will help you to detach from it…
Step Six:
Are you tapping into beneficial energy that will support you and your experiences? Gaze softly at Butterfly Medicine to help you tap into a more nourishing connection with your environment.
“I utilize beneficial energy from my environment to nourish myself and create my experience.”
“I intend to create joyful and life affirming experiences and learn from them.”
Step Seven:
If there are any parts of you that are still hanging out in that harmful experience, use Wasp Medicine to pull yourself out of that space completely.
“I pull myself back and out of this experience of adversity. I am present and in my own space.”
“I take ownership for my true experiences and learn from them.”
Step Eight:
Are any parts of you still stuck? Could you be tapping into other people’s pain?If so, Condor Medicine can help set you free. Relax with this Circle and bring your attention to the sensation of “stuckness.” Once you find it, imagine it’s like an iceberg in the ocean and that the heat of the Sun is melting it away until it has completely disappeared.
Once it’s gone, there may be others. Keep crossing and uncrossing over the midline of your body until all the icebergs have melted away and the ocean is clear sailing.
Step Nine:
Empower your ability to respond and detach from the ADVERSITY and karmic entanglements in an effective, peaceful way. Use Divine Connection from Soul Prayer Charts to connect in with the personal power that comes from your Source.
“I exist and am empowered to control my actions for my protection and benefit.”
“I come from a place ofGratitude and Joy,rather than fear, greed or vengeance.”
“I am empowered to detach from the ADVERSITY and the ways that I am entangled with it.”
“I decide to set my karma right and use it to help, rather than hurt me.”
“I learn from my mistakes and turn it around.”
Step Ten:
Use Early Morning Storm Medicine to visualize a clear slate.
“I detach from the ADVERSITY and the ways that I perpetuate it.”
“I move forward with joy and gratitude, rather than wallowing in fear or adversity.”
You may need some help from The Essential Human (1 – 42) or Divine Nature Activated (1 – 73) to clear away the shadows completely.
Going through this process will help you draw on the kinds of spiritual / emotional ingredients that will redirect your energy towards creating true joy, freedom and prosperity that’s manifested through gratitude rather than greed.
Step Eleven:
Now that your energy is clear, take a few minutes with Starlight Medicine to center yourself. This affirmation works well:
“I am inside of my body. Everything else is out side of me.”
Once you feel centered, ask yourself:
“Rather than ADVERSITY, what would I rather organize my karma to create?”
Place the answer that comes from your Soul in the center, open space of the Circle and allow your mind to reorganize itself for a few minutes, both crossed and uncrossed.
Step Twelve:
Are you currently using your karma to create what you just came to? If not, take a few minutes to sort things out.
“I detach my energy and karma from this karmic entanglement. I release any commitment I had to feed it, store it or utilize it.”
“I take ownership of my own karma and make a commitment to utilize it for the benefit of my Soul’s purpose instead.”
Step Thirteen:
Continue sorting things out by tending your own karma and allowing others to handle theirs. Imagine that you can untangle from other people’s emotions and return their issues and karma by surrendering them to the Light. That way they can find healing.
“I release other people’s karma to the Light. To each their own.”
“I tend to my own karma instead and clear my burdens by sending karmic seeds of ADVERSITY to the Light for purification.”
Step Fourteen:
It’s time to make certain your karma is properly placed in your own personal garden that lives in your heart using Sacred Garden Medicine.
“I utilize beneficial energy from my environment to nourish myself and create my experience.”
“I intend to create joyful, life affirming experiences and learn from them.”
Step Fifteen:
Before you move on, relax with this symbol for a few minutes to help you integrate the generative and protective flow of energy of the New Paradigm into your personal garden.
“I close down any harmful energy flows from the past.”
“I am open and clear to receive generative life force.”
“I connect to the new, life affirming channels of communication to help me manifest my personal dream.”
Step Sixteen:
Use this symbol for dissolving destructive blueprints to send the mental and emotional patterns of ADVERSITY to the Light to be purified. Include societal blueprints related to sexism, racism, violence and hopelessness.
Then, surrender the cultural patterns you’ve been using to take on other people’s issues or intrude on other people’s business.
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 Seventeen:
Bring closure to the karma by closing any pathways that lead back to the past or the collective pattern of ADVERSITY.
“All holes are sealed and healed.
I follow the direction of my Soul’s protection.”
Congratulations! You’re ready to approach your situation more objectively, with a different perspective – without all those karmic entanglements!
If you like, you can optimize this process by consciously shifting your focus to what you want to do now. Use the following sequence of Circles to help you. Simply gather your energy into the center of each Circle to facilitate the change:
“I focus my thoughts on productive activities that are in my positive self interest.”
“I connect to balanced prosperity, which is flexible and adapts to what is.”
“I forgive myself completely and reclaim my innocence.”
“I forgive others so I can move beyond the illusion of separation.”
Seal and heal all remaining pathways that are open between you and the entanglements associated with ADVERSITY and ignorance.
Congratulations! Your new awareness makes it more possible for miracles to occur! Be sure to take some time to integrate. Go for a walk. Enjoy the healing that comes from Nature.
*Please note that we are all infinite beings in an infinite universe – as new circumstances or events change, we may encounter new karmic entanglements and Soul Contracts, even with the same people we just cleared. However, you can use this process as many times as you need to.

If this fits what you’re going through, be extra cautious about how you spend your energy, time or money. Reckless expenditures, whether they be financial, emotional or spiritual, are much more likely to result in loss at this time.
The best thing to do when dealing with deteriorating situations is to step back and get perspective from your Soul.
Clear your mind and your energy.
Adapt by taking care of yourself and examining how well you are handling all the changes.
Be generous and kind to yourself and those you care about.
Remember that deterioration and conflict is an ideal atmosphere for tricksters, abusers and despots. The ego runs rampant and doesn’t want to let go. Do your best to meditate, gather and remind yourself that all things must end. There will eventually come a change for the better.
Don’t Let Yourself Get Drained.
If you handle DETERIORATION with an attitude of revenge or resentment, you will deplete yourself by giving the situation more fuel, which is probably exactly the reaction the ego wants. Your good intentions are better served by keeping yourself centered and grounded.”
Here is some help through a Transformation Game called Staying Empowered.”
Gently gaze at the Intuitive Learning Circles one at a time and consider the question or affirmation that goes with each Step. This self-care process helps you to become aware of what’s bothering you, so that you can make a different choice about how to use your energy more productively and in tune with your Inner Guidance.

For best results playing a Transformation Game, look at each Circle both crossed over the midline of the body and uncrossed so that the corrections are more complete.
Step 1:
What is a situation around you now that is DETERIORATING?
Trust the message that comes through from your deepest, wisest guidance.
Step 2:
Are you having trouble understanding the situation because it’s so confusing or it makes you so upset you can’t see straight?
Are you too close to someone or something involved to be objective?
Take a few minutes with this Circle to help you relax any fixations or rebellious judgements that could be blocking an empowered response.
Breathe deeply and imagine all the lines in this Circle are going loose and limp – like overcooked spaghetti. Keep gazing until you can sense a glimmer of Light coming through.
Be sure to do that both crossed and uncrossed over the midline of your body.
Step 3:
Do you sense that something is trying to stick to you?
Relax with this correction key and imagine that a loving coat of peace and comfort is pouring down over you, helping you to detach from any interfering energies.
“I easily and effectively neutralize all interfering energies and detach from them. It’s impossible for them to stick to me.”
Step 4.
Give your mind an opportunity to close the doors on all that confusion and chaos. Imagine it’s like you have too many tabs open on your internet browser. It’s time to close them out – for your own sanity and safety!
“All holes, doors or passageways aresealed and healed.”
“I follow the direction of my Soul’s protection.
Completing this mental action may take a while, yet it will be so worth it once they’re all closed!
Step 5.
Spiritual empowerment comes from an open and positive heart center. Check in with this Reiki Chakra Key to strengthen your connection.
“The Light in my heart center is strong and radiating out into the world.”
Don’t allow a deteriorating situation to put out your Light! If you’re having trouble, take several deep breaths. Inhale on the count of 4. Exhale on the count of six. Open and close your fingers.
Step 6.
Staying empowered is much easier when you let go of controlling, stagnant or toxic energy from the old Piscean Age. Meditate for a few minutes on this symbol that accesses the new flow of chi’ that’s available through the Element of Air.
“I close down harmful energy or communication channels from the status quo. I utilize the generative flow of chi’ and protection available through the Element of Air.”
Don’t assume that this will happen on its own. Conscious participation is required for staying empowered – especially when things are falling apart.
Step 7.
You may be feeling tension in your solar plexus or it could feel numb or empty.This Reiki Chakra Key helps you balance your Third Chakra at your solar plexus so that you can let the tension go and integrate your Essence. Breathe deeply into your belly where your ribs go up in the front. and let it relax. It’s okay for you to relax there and breathe as deeply as you want. Use this affirmation if you like:
“I exist and am present in my body.”
Step 8:
Organize your consciousness around what’s most important at this time:
“I am fully present inside my body. I organize my awareness around ________.”
Step 9:
Connect and empower your ability to remain stable, even in the midst of DETERIORATION.
“I exist and am empowered to __________.”
Step 10:
Now that you’re fully connected, ask your deepest wisest guidance:
“What is an action I can take that will help me with staying empowered?”
Take as much time as you need to reorganize your thoughts and energy around positive action.
Step 11. DNA Epigenetic Healing:
The next few symbols are from Divine Nature Activated and will help you release negative conditioning and stimulate some epigenetic healing. The key is to relax as much as possible while looking at each symbol. It can help to imagine that an old, broken DNA strand is falling apart and replaced by a light-filled and cohesive DNA strand that connects into your heart.
When using these symbols, it’s important to relax and breathe as you use each affirmation:
“I let go of whatever is hiding my Light. I ask for assistance from my Soul to cut through the smokescreen.”
“I am communicating Truth with the intention of Love and freedom.”
“I let go of rigid ideas that have changed or proven to be false. I let go of stubborn self-righteousness.”
“I move my attention to solutions that are truthful and serve the highest good.”
“I let go of harmful family stories and ancestral patterns that block acceptance of the Truth.”
“I ask my Soul to assist me in connecting with the consciousness of Hope.”
Step 12.
Now you can dissolve destructive mental, emotional and spiritual blueprints using these affirmations:
“I allow my mind to let go of any attachments to the past or the future that I’m still holding onto. I see patterns of fear, hatred and intolerance dissolving like dark clouds into a clear, blue sky.”
“I dissolve negative templates, attitudes and behaviors that cause me harm.”
Please note: Never send destructive energies into the Earth to be neutralized, she already has too much to handle now. Use the Earth for planting seeds of health, happiness and life – not illness, unhappiness and death!
When we send destructive energy up to the Light, it can be transformed and set right.
To completely release possible entanglements, use the symbol below to collapse any energy drains or sewage lines that lead to or from the deteriorating situation. You don’t need or want to be attached to them anymore.
And now, the final step to any kind of Epigenetic Healing and it’s very important!
Take time to strengthen and repair your auras.
You will want to keep your auras close to your body whenever you want to stay empowered. That’s because your auras provide protection. When they’re strong and focused, they can repel toxicity and keep your energy from mixing up with other people.
So, to finish this game, gaze softly at this Soul Prayer Chart for as long as you need to repair and refocus them. Use this affirmation if you like:
“My auras are very strong and focused. I naturally keep them close to my body.”
Congratulations!
Staying empowered is essential in times of DETERIORATION. Remember the transformation isn’t complete until you’ve taken the action you were guided to take in Step #10. If you like, you may go through this healing meditation again around other issues that are falling apart. Be sure to rest though and take good care of yourself!
