“You’re ready to go beyond the extreme ‘either/or’ mentality and graduate to the ‘and’ consciousness of balance and unity… Like the snake, you have transcended the limitations of who you thought you were…
Ask: Is there a fundamental change in yourself or a relationship that needs to be consciously attended to? What extreme behavior are you ready to shed?”~ Gifts from the Rainforest by Rheanni Lightwater

What Process Is Best for Me – Right Now?
Many of you have asked, “There’s so many Games and Exercises here in the Intuitive Learning Circle – how do I know which one is right for me?
Since we’re here to help you develop your intuition, it’s only natural that we would come up with a simple & fun way to decide – using your intuition!
First of all, it’s true that we have quite a few self-healing offerings, so below you’ll find a list of games that will help the Snake in you shed her old skins.
Snake Totem
There are 5 categories to choose from ~
I: Cosmos II: Family III: Environment IV: Livelihood and V: Self
Each category has a selection of games listed underneath which are numbered 1, 2 and 3.
The first step is to take a moment and think about what’s going on for you and then look at the Snake Totem and ask your heart:
“What category would be most useful for me to look at now?”
Once you have the category number, ask yourself: “Which number in that category represents the best self healing process for me right now – or is the best place to start?”
Remember to take the very first number that comes to you, because that is your Inner Wisdom speaking or your intuition. If more than one number comes up, write them all down in the order they came to you.
Once you have your number, scroll down the list and check out that process. You might be surprised at what you chose, because intuition doesn’t always makes sense at first. However, I suggest that you trust your first response and explore the exercise anyway. See if it pertains to your situation and feels right.
This is the intuitive way to determine which exercise is best for you right now!
Suggestion: Early on in your journey with Snake, go through Open Your Heart and Make Friends to develop a truly co-operative relationship!
Of course, if you want, you can always get help with Rheanni if you want more private coaching. Her contact info can be found at the bottom of this page…

Activate Courage and Determination with Jaguar Medicine ~
Self-care and Personal Growth through Gifts from the Rainforest:
17. Jaguar – jaguar medicine exemplifies fierce determination. When using feline power to manifest our greater good, we can accomplish amazing things.
Are you accessing open-hearted courage?
If not, what will help?
Healing Action:Reclaim your courage, strength and determination and apply it to your true heart’s desire. Visualize a ring of fire surrounding you and your environment.
A Stealth King
Fierce and determined.
This is all that needs be said about the energy of the jaguar.
Make the jaguar your friend and harness its power
for the higher good.
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 Jaguar Medicine:
Jaguar Medicine
Your creativity and special talents will benefit from an influx of courage and trust in yourself. It’s time to stand tall and unflinching, regardless of what others are saying about you. This is courage that is required on every level of your being, and it comes from the heart.
When the small mind gets fierce and determined, it fosters stinginess, disdain and a rebellious attitude. It uses courage to defend small minded agendas like prejudice, self-righteousness and “being right.” Jaguar wants to know, is this kind of behavior really in your best interest? What would happen if you had the courage to be more open-hearted?
Having courage to face the truth is one of the most important things we can develop in ourselves. A mind without courage cannot expand and learn new ways of being.
Choose now to be free of the past. Devote yourself to the care of your dreams. Be one with the intention of your Soul and strengthen the connection between your heart’s desire and your higher good. This is not a braggadocio show of power. In fact, you may need to go under cover to achieve your aim. Reclaim your personal power by following the truth of your being.
Or
It could be that your ego or someone else is telling you what you ought to be doing and there’s a hidden agenda that’s causing conflict. As you look at the Circle, ask your heart: “Is there a conflict here, and if so, what is it really about?” Let your inner strength answer.
Follow up by asking, “How can I regain my integrity without causing further harm?”
Then ask: “Where has my loyalty been in this situation?” If you are not being loyal to yourself, your power has been co-opted and you cannot be working for your higher good.
Finally, ask: “How can I regain my power?”
Follow your own advice and take care of yourself. If damage has been done, clean up your part and get back in the flow.
Courage is about knowing and standing behind your truth. You don’t need permission to be true to yourself. Use Jaguar’s Circle to help you remember a time when you had the courage to face the truth and do what needed to be done. Once you find that experience, relax and let your body remember what it feels like.
Jaguar Medicine is an excerpt from Gifts from the Rainforest
Inspired by Design Therapy from the native tribes of the Amazon, the fifty-eight Intuitive Learning Circles and animal totems from Gifts from the Rainforest are self-healing tools for nature lovers who want to accelerate their spiritual growth and intuition.
♦ Find emotional healing ♦ Deal with repetitive habits & attitudes that keep you stuck ♦ Develop common sense ♦ Learn to trust your gut instincts. ♦ Receive messages from plant, animal & nature spirits.

In this intuitive reading, Soul Resources offers a variety of SOS formulas and Transformation Games using the Intuitive Learning Circles and the I Ching to help us navigate contradiction and build a better foundation for the world based on Common Ground for the Common Good.
The I Ching
The original intent of the I Ching was based on an Eastern philosophy of observation and marking changes in natural and human events. Through many centuries and contributions from shamans and master teachers, including Lau Tzu and Confucius, the Book of Change was developed into a full philosophy for applying beneficial human conduct to varying circumstances. The Art of Feng Shui is part of that philosophy. We use The I Ching Workbook, by R.L. Wing, Random House, NYC, NY, 1979 as our preferred translation.
Understanding the Larger Picture ~
Throughout much of late spring and summer, the I Ching energy flow for the United States was in a general state of DANGER, Hexagram #29. Then, on July 21st, the full moon ushered in a surprisingly active flow pattern of CHANGING (Hexagram #49) that opened up a series of unexpected opportunities and positive energy to make significant advances towards freedom.
Then, the flow of CHANGING switched to the flow of #39 OBSTACLES. As a part of this path that was chosen, we have been challenged by a massive wave of collective karma that needed to be met with optimism and determination. Thank goodness outlandish onslaughts of lies and destructive thinking have been crushed by the realities facing us.
Now, the flow that transitioned into Hexagram #38 CONTRADICTIONS. The I Ching offers some useful guidance:
The CONTRADICTIONS in your environment are an extreme example of how clinging to the way things used to be creates stalemates, no win situations and extreme instability. Social structures are simultaneously falling apart and being built, yet the foundations for new growth and healthier relationships are still cluttered with the wreckage left behind by an old paradigm based on greed and revenge.
The I Ching: Navigate CONTRADICTION.
To navigate the CONTRADICTIONS that are swirling all around us will demand extraordinary will power, determination and a strong vision for what you hope to accomplish. By staying focused on the larger, positive intentions for freedom and moving towards the common good, you can do your part to bypass the proliferation of conflicting attitudes and ideas.
“There is a strong sense of CONTRADICTION at work in the current situation. It may be a matter of opposing viewpoints — persons who are working at cross purposes to one another or an inner duality that brings indecision. You must now gain an understanding of these divergent forces and better accord yourself with the times. Great achievements are out of the question, since they cannot come about without complete co-operation and alignment. Only small endeavors and gradual influences will meet with good fortune.
There now exists an atmosphere for misunderstandings or estrangement between men and women. Their inherent polarity is at its peak as they retreat into their own individual natures. Bridging the gap that is now present is a profound moment for significant union… Use small, gentle influences now to bring about this mutual accord.
This is a time when you may meet with the dualism in your own nature. You may appear indecisive or equivocal to others as you weigh contradicting viewpoints. Never before have you been able to see both sides so clearly. Arbitrary predispositions such as patriotism, clannishness, fixed ideas of principle or class prejudice may become less important in your life as you begin to see things in the larger overview. The struggle between good and evil, life and death, and all such opposites may appear to be simply the natural interaction of the great forces in the universe, as you develop the perspective of the sage. This sense of oneness or wholeness in a world of CONTRADICTION can bring you great depth of character and peace of mind.”
~ Hexagram #38 CONTRADICTION, The I Ching Workbook, R.L. Wing
Chinese Horoscope ~
Meeting Obstacles with The Chinese Zodiac
2024 is the Year of the Yang Wood Dragon in the Chinese Zodiac.
The Dragon’s Feng Shui Mandala below can give you a sense of what the archetype of the Dragon is about and how it may influence you. If you’re interested, gently contemplate its center and relax. When you’re ready, ask yourself these questions and journal the answers that come:
“What is the most important thing I can focus my energy and effort on during this time in the Year of the Dragon?”
“What is the direction? Why is that important? How can I utilize the energy of the Dragon to my best advantage? Are there things I’m wasting time on? Something else I need to know? Is there something important for me to do? If so, can I tell what it is and how I would best go about doing it?”
Allow your intuition to come forward and bring guidance from your innermost Self.
Did you know that Vice President Kamala Harris and her running mate, Governor Tim Walz are both DRAGONS – born in 1964. They are both in their Sexegenary Cycle (60 years), which in Chinese Astrology is an important age of completion and coming together of life experiences. What are their combined energies likely to inspire?
Invite the Dragon and his dynamic energy to advise you as you navigate the CONTRADICTIONS that show up on your new path.
A) Any new path can have distractions and dangers that you just cannot see clearly. However Dragon warns, “This is too important a time to get stuck or fall into a hole. Get back in the saddle and stay on your Soul’s journey. If you need extra help, call on my energy and confidence. I have plenty to spare.”
B) Transforming change has given us the opportunity to be motivated by Joy and Freedom, rather than fear and dread. That’s a wonderful thing. However, it’s far too easy for old habits and conditioning to sneak back in and mess things up. Dragon wants to share some important insights about how to prevent Joy from getting hijacked by your own mind! Keep Going For Joy – Rather than Perfection.
C) The current high energy might encourage you to rush or take chances that aren’t in your best interests. Prevent distracting CONTRADICTIONS by staying safe and out of troubles way by using your extra-intuitive senses. Develop Precognition and Stay Out of Trouble.
D) Finally, there may be others who are threatened by your new sense of confidence. If someone is undermining you or trying to throw you off your game, get them out of your space immediately: Ground in the Truth and Your Power.
What Is the I Ching Remedy for Navigating CONTRADICTION?
The Flow of Hexagram #15 MODERATION is the most advantageous flow to follow when navigating CONTRADICTION.
The ancient Chinese text recommends following MODERATION to help you disengage from confusing extremes or opinionated attitudes and instead, follow the guidance that comes from within. That flow might be difficult to find and take some practice to maintain, however, it’s always available.
Kuan Yin has been helping us to follow the middle road and find MODERATION over the last few years with this Transformation Game.
She says, “In almost any situation, if you are able to communicate without resorting to extremes, you will find improvement in whatever you undertake.”
Soul Resources To Navigate Contradiction:
SOS Symbol
As always, Kuan Yin has offered her assistance through a specially chosen collection of Transformation Games, Mind Exercises and Self-care Formulas. During this time she is advising us to pay particular attention to how we’re keeping our boundaries, balance and stability.
She has joined forces with the help of several Plant and Animal Totems from Gifts from the Rainforest and says, “It is much easier to do the right thing when you are in good company. Following good examples will lead you to success.”
Gaze softly at the SOS symbol and ask for a number between 1 – 9.
Scroll down to that number in the list of games and exercises below and check out what that process has to offer you.
It’s not easy to make as many changes as we have over the past few years. However, truly big changes are upon us now! Knowing when and how to shed your skin and change with the changes rather than fighting against them, will make a huge difference in how the next stage of your life will go.
How well are you keeping up with change and are you letting it work for you, rather than against you? There very well could be something you need to change about how you’re dealing with your situation. Play this Transformation Game to help you look at the overall situation and gain a deeper understanding of what’s really needed.
Acquire the courage to change with the Jaguar Guide.
3. Learn to Gracefully Let Go So You Can Move On.
You could be experiencing a situation where there is a great deal of arguments, incompetence or downright refusals to participate in cooperative ventures. Sometimes an environment gets so toxic that it starts to affect your mental or physical health. This game offers some good advice from the I Ching that will help you move on safely.
These are times when there’s just too much group think and outside interference to make a clear decision. Very often, there’s some form of media communication that’s contributing to the noise. Use this Mind Exercise to disentangle from false agendas and destructive attitudes so you can follow your heart back to the truth.
In times of extreme or prolonged stress, remember your mental health! Your memory might start to falter because so many things are changing. Or, you may have gotten disoriented by a sudden loss or relocation. Stabilize with this exercise to get a better idea about what’s happening in your case and what you really need to remember.
2. Resolve Emotional Shock for Better Judgement. Our country is going through a painful disruption and the people around you are likely to be in a panic or full blown crisis. This SOS exercise will help you regain balance so that you can keep your own mind and emotions from getting pulled in the chaos.
With so much going on, staying on top of what you need to do is much easier when you follow direction from your gut instincts. This exercise works incredibly well to help you tune into your inner guidance system – warning you to slow down and get your feet back under you.
Make the decision to consciously pull your attention and energy away from all those problems and redirect them to genuinely helpful solutions that connect you with your Soul.
Being Clear and Direct Will Help Us Navigate CONTRADICTION ~
“Because of a general atmosphere of CONTRADICTION and opposition you may fail to recognize someone who can sincerely help you. This person may reveal himself in spite of the mistrust that clouds your perspective. Working together on current plans will now bring good fortune.” ~ Fifth Changing Line, CONTRADICTION, The I Ching Workbook by R. L. Wing
SOS Self-care Formulas and Mind Exercises can help you stay in balance and hone your true guidance in chaotic times:
6. Develop Clear Perception in a New Reality.After such a stressful election season, it’s easy to feel like you’re heading in the wrong direction or having trouble navigating the new terrain. Go through an exercise that will help you tune into your inner guidance system so you can sort things out.
7. Reinforce Healthy Boundaries. This exercise will help you learn to consciously close off the pathways to negative thoughts or emotions and shift into a more positive mindset.
8. Ground in the Truth and Your Power. If, for any reason, you’re feeling like you’re unsafe or being pressured, this exercise from RESOLVE will help you effectively reject and repel interference.
Chakra Healing and Clearing ~
Recommended Transformation Games and Mind Exercises to Keep You Moving with the Flow, Rather than Against it.
The sheer amount of blocked or stuck energies indicates that we need to find innovative methods for handling radical energy reversals and be conscious about it.

Self-care and Personal Growth through Gifts from the Rainforest:
25. Mermaid – The spirit of mermaid is about compassionate action. Opening the heart to receive divine support and guidance will steer us correctly on the sea of life.
Do you know how to give or receive help in your current situation?
If there’s a problem, what needs to happen?
Healing Action: Stop struggling. Face the truth. If you’re over-extending a helping hand, pull it back. Accept help and support.
The Gift of the Mermaid
For as long as humankind remembers, the ocean
has eluded our control.
Its great mystery has, on one hand
supported, fed, and transported
us to new worlds beyond our imagination.
On the other, it has always held the potential to be
mercilessly devastating in the flash of an instant.
To many who have been “hopelessly lost at sea”
the Mermaid has been reported as a miraculous,
angelic protectress in the form of half woman – half fish.
This personification of compassion carries
in her heart a deep and abiding love
for the humblest of travelers on the sea of life.
Open your heart and let her gift guide you to a safe harbor.
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 the Mermaid Spirit:
Mermaid
Mermaid teaches us how to compassionately ask for, receive and give true help and assistance. In general, cause and effect is the best compass to follow. Gaze into her Circle and ask yourself: “If I choose to _______, what would I be setting into motion? Is that a good idea? What might I do to create something better?”
If you haven’t been getting the help you need, you may have lost your connection with your true Source and are creating a great deal of emotional drama. Perhaps you think that whining about it or acting helpless will relieve you of your responsibility. However, you know in your heart of hearts that behaving in this way will do you no good.
It’s also possible that you only want help from certain people in just the way that you want it, which will also get you into trouble. Ask if you’re blocking attempts from others to assist you. If you are, get out of the way and accept what’s being offered, even if it’s coming from someone you never expected to give you the time of day. Remember that Love finds healing in creative situations and is waiting patiently for you to remember what works in times like this.
On the other hand, you may be indulging in fantasies or wishful thinking. Have you put your faith in a person or situation that would cast you adrift without thinking twice? If so, make a course correction as quickly as you can without making a lot of waves. Re-align yourself with True North to set your ship right again.
If you find yourself in the role of Mermaid yourself, ask, “What can I do in this situation that would actually be helpful?” Pay attention to the effects your actions would have on others. Remember that help without limits becomes enabling. Many a sunken ship started their journey with good intentions that weren’t thought through carefully enough. Often times, the most compassionate thing to do is to simply get out of the way.
Mermaid says what works in times of danger is to calm down, get present, face the truth about what’s actually happening and then go for what’s genuinely needed. Love yourself unconditionally and trust what your gut is telling you.

Activate the Healing Power of Forgiveness with Rainbow Energy
Self-care and Personal Growth through Gifts from the Rainforest:
45. Rainbow Energy – Use the healing power of rainbow energy to cleanse and forgive. Activating our power to forgive will transform our world through the Law of Cause and Effect.
Ask: What are you putting out in your current situation?
Is that what you’d like to receive?
What do you need to understand?
Healing Action: Surrender toxic debts, thoughts and intentions to the Light. Transmit the frequency and vibration of Forgiveness. Allow yourself to receive them in return.
Invoking the Rainbow
Rainbow energy has always cleansed the spirit
and renewed the heart.
In it, all the potential of white energy
is manifested in the natural world.
Use its uplifting power to forgive yourself
and remove impurities from your atmosphere.
If you can forgive yourself, you can forgive others
which breaks the chain of escalating abuse, conflict and violence.
Forgiveness is key to releasing the burden you carry.
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 Rainbow Energy:
The situation is stagnant, heavy and toxic to you in some way. Perhaps you are clinging stubbornly to an idea that poisons your life or relationships. Turn away from isolation and open your heart.
Rainbow Energy
Forgiveness is not about putting up with poor behavior or letting others get away with abuse.
Don’t cling to “being right” or how you’ve been wronged. Keep moving without dwelling on the past and find a different response. Turn away from grievance and open your heart to the possibility of healing.
Making excuses for yourself or your behavior does nothing to rectify the situation either. Just because things didn’t happen the way you wanted them to does not mean that other people are to blame. Yet, blaming yourself is even worse. Whatever happened, the reason for it is much larger than your ego will ever grasp.
Trust that you will be all right. If you are having difficulty forgiving, try giving to others who are in need. Holding onto resentment makes you small. Giving uplifts the Spirit and transforms the heart.
Recognize the beauty and growth that is available, even in difficult situations. There is more to the power of forgiveness than you know.

A New Perspective on Soul Healing from an Old Friend.
Rheanni Lightwater Reiki Master Teacher Medical Intuitive
Kuan Yin is a Time Honored and respected spiritual guide in the Healing Arts. She has been helping us to transition from the old paradigm based on greed and fear to a new paradigm of equitable co-operation and balanced prosperity for the Common Good. Her guidance about Soul Healing comes from the SOS series of self-care formulas and mind exercises in RESOLVE For Staying True and Following Through in Difficult Times.
Soul Healing for Anxiety
Use Soul Healing when you’re feeling anxious and uncertain because you:
SOS – RESOLVE
Feel blocked about an important decision
Want to expand your awareness
Have doubts about how to proceed
Are confused in a chaotic situation
Are experiencing a creative block
Feel you’re being pulled in contradictory directions
Desire clearer guidance from your Soul.
When a person is feeling uncertain about the best thing to do, it can significantly raise the level of anxiety they’re experiencing. Getting relief can sometimes be as simple as being open to a different perception about what’s going on. When one consciously calls upon their inner wisdom and aligns their instincts with intuition, amazing insights can emerge.
If you’re getting nervous about a delicate situation or feel that you may not be seeing it correctly, explore how you can reorient yourself and open up to new ideas with Soul Healing.
Set aside about fifteen to twenty minutes. Go through each step by reading its directions and then gazing at the Circle that goes with it for approximately two minutes. 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.
Your emotional state might change as well. That also means the Circles are working. Just keep breathing and let the energy move. Once it calms down you’ll be ready to continue to the next Circle.
Mind Body Integration
For best results, look at each symbol both crossed over the midline of the body and uncrossed so that the correction is more complete.
Feel free to move at any time in any way to help you embody your experience!
After you’ve gone through the exercise, consider taking a brisk walk or exercising to help you discharge excess energy.
When you’re ready, see if you can take action on some of the ideas that come to mind.
Soul Healing for Clarity and Wholeness
1. Let’s start by setting an intention to protect yourself in this situation. Take a few moments with Jaguar Medicine to imagine yourself safely surrounded by a sphere of strength and courage.
You are protected and able to take care of yourself.
2. Old Sol will help you to connect with your inner wisdom and Soul guidance. Let it help you get to the Source of what’s happening and how you might increase your awareness.
Relax and breathe deeply.
What is the core of your issue?
What other information do you get?
If your mind has gone blank and you don’t get any ideas, go directly to the next Circle.
3. You may feel a lot of conflict over this issue or you might even have experienced a shock that blocks your ability to perceive things clearly. Take several deep breaths and relax while you gaze softly at Condor Medicine to release shock and inner conflict.
“I relax and allow any tense thoughts to melt away.”
Once you have a sense that your mind has found the blockage, imagine the lines are relaxing, like cooked spaghetti noodles.
Keep relaxing with other blockages or conflicts and do the same with them.
4. Bring your senses into balance by gazing softly at this Reiki Chakra Key that accesses your Rational Senses.
Imagine you can adjust the volume for seeing, hearing, feeling, tasting and smelling the things that are in your immediate surroundings.
“I bring my senses into balance.”
“I focus them so I can feel calmer and aware of what’s important.” “I use my senses to help me be more aware of where I am and what I’m doing.” “I focus on actions that are genuinely helpful and productive.”
5. There may be some especially sticky energies that don’t seem to want to let go. Let this Soul Star Detachment Key help you neutralize interfering energies and detach from them.
Like a healing balm, imagine that a loving coat of peace and comfort is pouring down over you.
“I easily and effectively detach from harmful, sticky energies.”
6. You might also be having a difficult time adjusting to all the significant environmental changes that are taking place. Sudden changes can cause the subtle energy fields to react in unusual ways.
As you look at this Soul Star Correction Key, do you notice any rough glitches or reversed energies going on?
Relax with it for a few minutes until things smooth out and you can begin to sense the energy of your Soul coming through.
Repair any jagged or disjointed glitches in your sensory system.
7. Elevated emotions are often caused by distressing experiences that knock the senses out of balance.
When you’re relaxed, your senses can balance out and create a more harmonious state of mind. This softer, lighter way of being has a way of untangling problems and blockages.
Use this simple affirmation with River Medicine to help you slow down in a way that helps you to reduce feelings of anxiety and overwhelm.
“My mind is calm and relaxed – like a boat floating on the water.”
9. Take a few moments to clarify your intention through the FifthChakra, also known as your Third Eye. Focus inwardly on what’s most important for you. Remember to keep breathing!
If you direct the energy in towards the center open space of the Key, you can bring your true intentions more fully into the center of your conscious awareness.
10. Clear perception using Soul guidance is an internal communication. Focus in on your heart center and wait for the energy get connected and balanced.
Again, it initially helps to direct your attention in towards the center open space of the Chakra Key.
Once you’ve found the connection, breathe and relax. Allow the energy to shift and open. Eventually you’ll be able to sense positive energy radiating out.
It may take a minute or two to connect with your inner Light.
Take a few minutes to help the energy clear even more with this Soul Star for the Heart Chakra. Breathe and relax until you sense positive energy radiating out.
11. Make sure you’re centered and balanced in your solar plexus as well (your solar plexus is that soft area in the front where your ribs go up).
When the Third Chakra gets clogged up, your sense of Self can suffer. Clearing it out boosts self-confidence and cheerfulness.
“My Solar Plexus Chakra is open and balanced.”
The correction is made when you can palpably feel more present and calm in that area.
There could be a lot of old, even non-existent connections there that need to be expelled to facilitate soul healing.
If the energy around your solar plexus feels stuck or heavy, use this chart to help you gently clear them out.
“I release and clear out toxins and entanglements that are interfering with my clarity.”
12. Whenever working with chakras, you may need to repair and/or strengthen their hara lines for improved communication and healing. Let Starlight Medicine help you visualize all these chakras connecting through a golden web of light, together with the vibration of your Soul.
Iather my consciousness and refocus on the truth that lives in my center.
Your energy is now reconnected and aligned with the Source of your being which, in this method, is called the Central Plexus.
13. Continue with this symbol to close unhealthy energy channels between you and all the chaos that’s been confusing you.

6. Praying Mantis Medicine – is a master teacher for easily distracted minds. When you can still your thoughts and place your focus on your true priorities, success is far more likely.
What are you paying attention to?
Is this a productive use of your time and attention?
What would your spirit ask you to focus on instead?
Healing Action: Focus. Clarify your attention and intention. Dispel confusion. Be patient and prepare yourself to act.
The Prayer of Praying Mantis
Combine the stillness of meditation
with clarity of purpose.
Praying Mantis instructs us in mastery
over our base instincts.
He lives in stillness – the keen observer
and waits with precision until the exact time
when action will produce the desired results.
Cease all action that is without purpose.
Still the mind and consciously
become an instrument that spirit moves through
effortlessly.
Focus all energies on the truth of your being.
There is no fear,
except that which you allow to exist.
Discipline.
Direction.
Divinity.

Further Exploration into Praying Mantis Medicine:
Praying Mantis Medicine
The medicine of Praying Mantis suggests that your focus is off or distracted. You’re impulsively doing too many things at one time and would do well to center yourself before taking action. Gaze softly at the Circle and breathe. See if you can focus on what really matters now.
Are you having trouble focusing because you’re pushing yourself to get something done? If so, it’s probably not necessary and may actually be causing you trouble in the long run. Being everything to everyone is an impossible demand to make of yourself. Take a step back from unreasonable intentions and let them go.
Get quiet and ask your heart: “What is the real reason behind pushing myself so hard? What am I afraid of?”
What unreasonable expectations are you holding against yourself? Are you digging your heels in on some destructive behavior? Consider what it’s doing to you and If you’re finally ready to let it go. If you are, hand it over to your Higher Power. Then ask to be aligned with that Higher Power, which is your Source. Once you have done this, you can inspire others to do the same.
If you’re trying to do it all yourself, you’re causing yourself unnecessary stress, exhaustion and burnout. Hand over some parts of the process to others who can assist.
Finally, Praying Mantis would like to help you improve your intuition by developing what’s called “peripheral vision.” Start by gazing softly at the center of the Circle and bring yourself into a powerful trance-like focus. Keep your eyes there on the Circle while you gently expand your awareness into the space around you. Notice the noises and activity going on in your environment. If you practice this kind of empowered focus regularly, you’ll help yourself in more ways than you know.

35. Flamingo – inspires us to cut loose from the mundane world. Expanding our vision through creative imagination is essential to having our dreams come true.
Are you using your imagination in a way that will genuinely benefit you and create a happy, healthy life?
If not, what can you do to change that?
Healing Action: A change of perspective is needed. Stimulate your imagination by looking at your challenges from a more Yin, or creative angle.
Vision from the East
The flamingo is a bold and outrageous thinker.
Nothing is ordinary about her vision
or plain in her appearance.
Let her inspire you to stretch
beyond your limits and reach for the stars
while remaining grounded in Mother Earth.
Cut loose from the mundane world.
Your imagination lives outside
the boundaries of space and time.
Use it to look beyond the limits of modern day thinking.
Since time began, humankind has turned eastward toward
the rising sun to remember Soul’s hope every day.
It’s time to expand your vision.
In what ways are you thinking too small?

Further Exploration into Flamingo Medicine:
Flamingo Medicine
You have been suppressing your creativity and your dreams. If you genuinely want to grow your vision, it’s time to be brutally honest with yourself. What do you need to get honest about?
Your imagination could be making things up that are harmful to your stability and well-being. Gaze softly at Flamingo’s Circle and ask your Soul to tell you the truth: “Am I indulging in an illusion? What kind of thinking is keeping me off balance? How can I see things more from the perspective of my Soul?”
Seek out clear, objective assistance from others to help you sort it out. Cultivate your friendships and plant the seeds for new ones. Expand your network of acquaintances. Nurture that creative fire.
You may have been blocking yourself by continuing to associate with others who would prefer you to stay small. Expand and reach out. There is so much more available to you right now. Let go of anyone or anything that is sabotaging you. Don’t try to patch things up and keep things as they are, because they are not meeting your emotional needs. It’s time to stretch out and spread your wings.
