Adapting to Success – Move Beyond Limitations
Are You Having Trouble Adapting to Success Because of Old Conditioning from Your Past?
You might be able to clear limitations faster and simpler than you think!
Kuan Yin has been helping us through these Transformation Games to transition from the old paradigm based on greed and fear to a New Paradigm of equality, peaceful co-operation and balanced prosperity. This game, “Adapting to Success” springs from the I Ching, an ancient book of divination that follows the flow of the cosmos. Because of that, her advice and instruction comes from a different perspective than ours.
Kuan Yin’s Transformation Games can help you to identify problems, change your focus to positive solutions, ground yourself and get in the present. Simply relax and gaze at the Circles while contemplating Kuan Yins words. Your intuition will come forward and give you the help that you seek.

Welcome to the I Ching Reading and Transformation Game for Hexagram # 17: Adapting to Success
“If you sincerely insist upon the very best, the chances are that you will get it. Set your sights high. Good fortune.” ~ The I Ching Workbook, R.L. Wing
Experiences from your past or family of origin have shaped your imagination and fostered limiting beliefs about what is possible.
If you look around you right now, you may realize that most everything you see has been influenced by the tastes and tendencies that began in your childhood.
In your adult life, you will need to expand your imagination to find a new way to create the happiness you desire.
Check In: Are You Tuning Into the Kind of Emotional Energy That Will Take You Where You Really Want to Go?
Sometimes people have been conditioned so deeply to be afraid or negative, they aren’t really sure what to do when things are going well. The way you view yourself and what you think you’re capable of is colored by habitual behaviors learned in early love relationships as well as childhood experiences. You may simply be dealing with an old program or you could be struggling with more serious entanglements with hatred and other destructive tendencies.
Regardless of how it came to be, there is a simple way to change the emotional energy you’re tapping into using these Intuitive Learning Circles with your imagination!
Step One: Adapting to Success Begins with Awareness
Think about how things were communicated to you when you were little. Use this symbol to help you tap into the problem so that you can clear it out. Ask yourself:
“Is there a pattern of unhappiness or dysfunction that’s coming to the surface for me now? If so, is it related to family, society, career, religious upbringing or an old relationship?
The fact that it’s coming up could mean that you’re ready to ADAPT to a healthier mindset and REFORM how you’re doing things. Is that the case here? If you’re not ready, are you willing to respect your healing process and step back?
Step Two: Examine Fixated Thoughts and Beliefs
Memories from the past can often bring up a lot of confusing and conflicting information. That’s important because what you believe about life, you awaken around you. Let this symbol for clearing out shock and fixations help you sort things out a little. Relax and gaze softly at the symbol while you breath deeply both crossed and uncrossed over the midline of your body. Once the energy around the symbol calms down, you will find that you’ve calmed down as well!
Step Three: Slow Down and Clarify What Success Means For You Now
Even if you aren’t ready to clear the energy, you may be able to use your awareness in some other way to benefit you. For example, do you need to protect yourself in some way? Do you need a boost of self-confidence? Would it be good to take a few breaths and slow down? Would some movement be helpful? Gaze at the Circle from Tree Sloth with soft eyes and ask yourself:
“What does adapting to success mean to me in this situation?”
Notice how you’re reacting to that question, then continue your inquiry.
“What’s really important here? What will help me?
Am I just getting sucked into an old habit?”
Make notes. Your responses are important.
Step Four: Access Your Inner Wisdom
Empower yourself to follow your own advice. Let this Circle for Old Sol help you come up with the very best scenario that you can imagine.
“What is the very best thing I could ask for?”
Step Five: Recalibrate Your Energy for Empowerment
Let this symbol help you connect deeply with your heart center. While you contemplate it, affirm that you exist and that your spirit can empower your highest good.
Step Six: Clarify What Would Genuinely Be Helpful
In the New Paradigm, we are coming to the realization that many things we used to think of as “helpful” actually were not or would not be now. Use Mermaid Medicine to help you sort through any watery emotional confusion about what is actually needed. Ask this question for more clarification:
“How can I genuinely be of service to myself and others in this situation?”
Step Seven: Activate Your Heart Center
Tune into the wisdom of your heart. It will let you know whether you’re on track or not. When you’re ready, write down your intention or request, stated in the affirmative, in present tense and in your own words. Keep it simple and easy to remember…
Take all the time you need to really let those words resonate with your heart center.
Keep playing with it until it feels right and aligned.
Step Eight: Detach and Heal Old Patterns from the Past
Give yourself a moment to imagine a loving coat of peace and comfort is pouring down over you. This medicine is like a healing balm that melts away attachments to the past and mends all wounds.
Be sure to imagine that both crossed and uncrossed.
Step Nine: Raise Your Energy
Use the lighter, quicker generative life force of the New Paradigm to help you process your emotions and bring your request into being.
“I close down heavy, harmful energy channels from the Status Quo.”
“I am open and clear to utilize generative life force.”
“I adapt to the positive flow of chi’ available in the New Paradigm
to the best of my ability.”
“I connect to the new, life affirming channels of communication.”
Step Ten: Seal Energy Drains
Make sure your physical energy isn’t getting drained or that you aren’t getting sucked into a toxic habit or pattern from the past. Close down harmful habits and energy drains:
“I deconstruct old habits and close down toxic energy drains.”
“I shut them down completely.”
Once they’re closed down, use Fly to find where the voids are and fill them with loving, life affirming energy!
“I fill in the leftover void with healthy, life affirming energy.”
Note: If you’re a Reiki practitioner, this is a great time to beam Distant Healing into the Circle!
Step Eleven: Balance Your Perception
Relax some more and consciously bring your senses into balance. You don’t have to keep going back to any old, uncomfortable places any more. You are in the here and now.
Affirm to yourself:
“My senses are balanced.”
“My emotions are calm.”
“I’m perceiving my intention clearly, accurately and honestly.”
Then, imagine your intention as you requested it. See it, hear it, taste it, smell it and feel it as specifically as you can.
Step Twelve:
If you’re having trouble imagining anything or your mind is going blank, you have probably accessed an inner conflict. Gaze softly at this Circle, relax and let the lines get all wavey.
“I release all the conflicts I have around this.”
Continue to breathe while you gently release the conflict(s). Once the energy calms down, you will either know what you want or know what to do to help you get there.
What is the best thing to do next?
For example, you could go back to Step Four* and ask the question again until your request becomes clear or you could Retrain Your Mind To Go for Joy.
Congratulations! You now know what the pattern is and how you would like it to change. This is an important first step in the process of ADAPTING to success.”
If you are a Level Three student, there are several other steps you could take that would really improve how you handle success and empower your transition to the New Paradigm.

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