Piranha Medicine
Follow your Soul’s Path with Piranha Medicine ~
Self-care and Personal Growth through Gifts from the Rainforest:
8. Piranha Medicine – the piranha sends a clear warning to change your path and go another way. Learn to follow the signs so you can determine what’s in your best interests and what’s not.
Is a change in direction or intention in order?
Are you done with an old way of being?
Have you left energy pathways open to old patterns of suffering?
Healing Action: Close the pathways and doors that lead you back to painful sources of suffering. Align with your Soul to follow the direction that leads towards your highest good.
The West’s Biting Advice
Let your Soul teach you
how to attract the people, places and things
that will assist you on your true path.
Recognize how Spirit guides you
through events.
Appreciate the natural corrections
that occur through unpleasant interactions.
Listen to Spirit’s gentle reprimand –
“Not this way,
go another way –
the Sun has set on this path.”
Piranha is not so gentle.
Her bite is merciless and uncompromising.
Pay attention to the clues before it’s too late.

Further Exploration into Piranha Medicine:
Do you know when to stop self-destructive behavior? Take a few moments to confer with Piranha’s Circle and ask, “What is a situation that I need to put an end to, for my own good?”
You may think that you’re being forced to continue by others, however, in the end, it’s always a personal choice to close the door on abuse.
It’s likely that you’ve been deluding yourself over someone or something and it’s important that you wake up to the truth. Something is not right with a plan, a relationship or a belief you are doggedly holding on to.
If it’s a belief, it’s doing serious damage to you and needs to be re-examined as soon as possible.
If it’s a relationship, you’re probably letting someone get away with treating you badly simply because you want to be liked and they’ve extended one or two acts of kindness in the past. You’re being fooled so that you’ll fall into a trap again. Don’t do it.
If it is a plan, you’ve convinced yourself that it can only be accomplished in one certain way. Your misconceptions are drawing you back into needless suffering again and again. To help yourself, make the corrections as soon as possible by closing the doors in your mind and following a healthier direction. If you take action to protect yourself now, you can walk into the sunset breathing a sigh of relief, “Finally! I’m done and complete with this.”
Or
Use this Circle to help you with protection and direction. As you look at it, imagine you can close the doors to all the myriad pathways in your mind that would lead you into danger, past suffering or confusion.
Consider asking your Soul for help about your change in direction. By aligning with your true purpose and destiny, you can better trust your gut instincts and untangle this mess.

Seed Medicine
Learn from Your Karma and Set It Right with Seed Medicine
Self-care and Personal Growth through Gifts from the Rainforest:
37. Seed Medicine – helps us access our Soul’s blueprint and is used to reveal the divine plan, the Soul’s purpose or the original source of difficulty in one’s life.
Are your seeds of karma ready to be activated, cleared or nourished?
Are you taking on someone else’s karma?
If so, what would help set it right?
Healing Action: Get to the root of the situation by examining the origins of your karma and clearing it out for your highest good.
The Seed
The seed knows the beginning.
In it lies all the information needed for life to grow –
a divine blueprint revealing the source of all things.
Look deeply into the core of your being
and access your Soul’s Divine Blueprint.
What is the source of your current situation
and how may you best regain your balance?
Some mysteries are not so elusive
when the original source has been uncovered.
Your purpose is one with
the seed’s divine plan.
Know it.
Live it.
Be it.
Mind Body Integration

Further Exploration into Seed Medicine:
Events that happened long ago in the course of human evolution are affecting you now whether you know it or not. You are probably reacting to a cultural obsession, an ancestral pattern or social upheaval that goes way beyond your personal biography. The best way for you to proceed is to remove yourself from the situation so that you can be more objective. That way you are in a better position to take care of yourself and be of genuine service to others.
Or
Things are not as they seem. Access information about your karma using these steps:
- Bring your attention to the seeds of karma you’re using in your specific situation.
- Sort through them and return any karma that you might be taking on for others.
- Reclaim your own karmic seeds.
- Sort out and purify any of your seeds that are causing harm.
- Nurture your life-affirming seeds with beneficial energy.
- Consciously plant new seeds that will help you create your true heart’s desire.
Or
The way you’re currently approaching the situation in question is not in your best interests and your Soul wants to suggest that there’s another way to think and/or behave that could be much more productive for you. If you pay attention now and make the appropriate adjustments, something wonderful could happen.
Use this Circle to trace the path back to when this situation or relationship first began. To do that, ask your heart: “What is the nature of the original event that has caused my situation?”
What you are going through has profound connections with events from the past. Be open and you will be told.

Vulture Medicine
Avoiding Danger with Vulture Medicine
2. Vulture Medicine – reminds us to cultivate discernment at all times as protection against those who would love to take advantage of our blind spots.
Are you in any danger? Is there a situation around you that would be best for you to avoid or take affirmative action on? If so, what is it and what might help?
Healing Action: Learn how to distinguish true assistance from exploitation. Your gut will help you identify dangerous situations and avoid them when you’re listening. Become aware of unconscious fears and transmute them.
Scavenging The Jungle
The circling vulture reminds us that
there will always be those
who feed off of the misfortunes of others.
They are attracted to helplessness and pain
and see it as opportunity for feeding,
not kindness.
It’s important that you be able to distinguish
true assistance from exploitation.
Focus on your gut feelings
when someone offers you help in times of trouble.
Recognize when others feed your insecurities, fear or hatred
rather than your strength and faith.
Do you feel competent and empowered around them?
If not, return to your center
and listen to that still, small voice.
Remember, the persistent squawking of the vulture
is intended to frighten and distract you from
listening to your own truth and higher good.
“Pay attention now or pay the consequences later.”
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 for Vulture Medicine:
New light is being shone on the subject of your inquiry. A truth that you have ignored or disregarded has come back to haunt you. However, haunting is not always a bad thing. It may mean that you are getting very close to a breakthrough. If you can discover how you are sabotaging yourself, you will have gone a long way towards finding the solution to your dilemma.
Learn how to attend to your safety by increasing your awareness of the situations around you. Tap into your gut instincts and balance your senses to improve your intuition. Ignoring the signs and playing the victim is an abdication of your personal responsibility.
Ask Vulture’s Circle where trouble is brewing now. Go through your plans and appointments. Notice the feeling in your gut. If there’s a concern, you will feel it there. When all is well, you’ll feel fine. If you get a twinge, ask yourself, “Is this what I really want?” Then ask your Soul for guidance and follow the advice you get to help you to avoid unnecessary pain and regrets.
Only you have the power to heal yourself. Have you given that power away? Some people would prefer that you think you cannot do without them. There are many around you that are available to assist you without any strings attached. Ask them for help. If you are surrounded by criticism, find some new companions. Remember that you are not alone.
If you feel obligated, free yourself. It may take courage to say no, however that is what is called for now.

Mapacho Tobacco Medicine
Know Your Intention with Mapacho Tobacco ~
Self-care and Personal Growth through Gifts from the Rainforest:
#40 Mapacho Tobacco – Indigenous Elders have used tobacco for centuries as medicine for healing. They know that when our prayers are unclear, negative or filled with conflict, the results will be also.
Are your intentions clear and getting effective results?
Do you need to let go of old ones?
What needs to happen?
Healing Action: Release unrealistic expectations or outdated intentions. Clarify what actually needs to happen. Send out positive, clear intentions or prayers.
Smoking Out the Truth
Mapacho tobacco is like a wise Grandmother.
She knows the nature of healing
and the secrets of how the Universe works.
It is her purpose to carry our prayers
on wisps of smoke to spirit for manifestation.
However, she will never spoil us or lie to us.
If we are lying to ourselves,
she will point it out to us in no uncertain terms.
Seek only the truth in your intentions for yourself and others.
Remember that what you put out comes back to you.
If you are perplexed by what the Universe is giving you,
examine your intentions for hidden malignancies or misunderstandings.
Release them from your consciousness through a prayer of Forgiveness.
You cannot receive what you are unwilling to give.
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 Mapacho Tobacco:
You are surprised by the direction things are taking because you’re still too attached to your old behaviors. Mapacho medicine urges you to go further than you think you can, because your own thinking has stifled your full potential. If you think, “I don’t have time,” you won’t. If you put out “I can’t do it,” then that’s what you’ll get back. This is what they call karma, so if what you’re doing hasn’t been working, change what you’re doing.
The best approach is to find a completely new way of handling yourself. You’re breaking a pattern, so whatever you do, make sure it’s something different. Then put your creative energy into the situation and see what happens.
It may be time to examine and release some particularly harmful prayers or intentions, conditioned from the past. Society has gone through significant change and because of that, out-dated intentions from earlier generations or even past lives may need to be purged from your consciousness.
Like a deep well in your mind, you’ve unconsciously been drawing your experience out of antiquated, self-destructive intentions. Pull them out into the light of day for examination. If they no longer serve you, send them to the Light for transformation. Then determine what new intentions will serve your needs now. As you go through this process, remember that clear communication paves the way for clear results.
You could be expecting too much of yourself. Movement into the Light does not need to be perfect. Give yourself a break. Intend to be kind and forgive yourself. Once you figure out where your misperceptions are, make the correction in your intention and a correction in the results will follow suit. Then get ready for things to change, both inwardly and outwardly.

Condor Medicine
Find Freedom Though Condor Medicine
Self-care and Personal Growth through Gifts from the Rainforest:
32. Condor Medicine – the Condor soars through the high mountain skies showing us how to spread our wings and transcend our limitations.
Ask: Is your mind and energy flowing freely in support of a joyous life?
Are you being run by the wounds of your past?
How can you find freedom?
Healing Action: Clear shock and fixated trauma. Release inner conflict and any mental or physical tension through relaxation, movement and pure life force.
El Condor Pasa
Strength and right use of will
are the domain of Condor medicine.
Call on her creative life force
to let go of old habits and limitations.
If you are in a rut, frozen with fear,
or stuck in the past,
it’s time for a breakthrough.
If you allow unresolved resentments to run your life
you will create a cage
of bitterness and unfulfilled dreams.
Liberate yourself.
Create new horizons of courage and acceptance.
Fly to the top of the mountain with condor.
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 Condor Medicine:
You have experienced a serious shock that prevents you from having balance around this situation. Your mind is fixated on an image, thought or event from the past and it’s preventing you from thinking clearly. Consequently, you are affected in ways that you do not even know and growth is stunted on account of it.
When you experience shock or trauma, you go into a state of survival instinct, making you anxious and hyper-vigilant. If this condition continues, the constant drain on your body sets the stage for illness to occur.
Gain a new perspective by releasing your fixated mind. Use an influx of pure life energy to help you let go and break the spell.
Take a few deep breaths while you relax and gaze at Condor’s Circle for several minutes. Drop your shoulders and imagine that the fixation is melting away like ice melting under the Sun.
Or you could let the lines go loose and limp, like cooked spaghetti.
By dissolving the conflict or fixation, you’re now able to receive pure life energy and open the doors to creativity!
Free your body with movement to actualize your new freedom. When you release fixated tension, you gain access to new horizons of awareness and experience.
Once you’ve made this correction, you are free to follow the direction of your Soul and reconnect with the experience of Love, gratitude and prosperity.

Oyster Medicine
Allow Yourself to Receive with Oyster Medicine
Self-care and Personal Growth through Gifts from the Rainforest:
21. Oyster Medicine – the oyster receives without judgment. When we openly receive life, we release effort and struggle.
What are you willing to receive?
Is that in your best interest?
Are you in the best position to receive blessings?
Is it time to discharge an irritant?
Healing Action: Get present and open your heart to receptivity. Accept the benefits of your kind actions and ability to benefit from difficult circumstances.
The Pearl of Great Price
To openly receive is something that the
small mind has great difficulty doing.
It tries to force things to happen –
to control outcomes and future events.
It tries and tries, but never succeeds.
The Oyster never tries to do anything, it just exists.
Because it exists, it has no need to resist.
Since it has no need to resist,
it openly receives without judgement
about whether something is good or bad,
right or wrong, wanted or unwanted.
If a grain of sand is washed into its home,
it uses the irritation to create a pearl.
We would be wise to follow the Oyster’s lead.
Accept the events in your life
and use them to nourish the heart and Soul.
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 Oyster Medicine:
Your ego is dominating the situation by limiting what you’re willing to receive. It’s trying to hide flawed reasoning and is busy thinking up excuses. Step away from that reaction so that you can allow something better to come in.
Gaze gently at Oyster’s Circle and ask your Soul: “What am I willing to receive in this situation? Can I open to more?” Clarify the situation by answering, “What is the resistance about?”
Conversely, it could be time to stop tolerating an irritant and expel it from your personal space. Not everything is worth keeping. Let go of the struggle. Accept what you’ve learned from the situation and let it go.
Are you denying or blocking positive change? If so, It’s time to accept yourself and the situation as it really is. The sooner you release your denial, the sooner your difficulties will end.
Examine your attitudes and beliefs, especially those you feel justified in having. As you look at the Circle, ask your heart, “What attitude or belief is causing me trouble? What am I not accepting?”
Then ask, “What would help me be more open and receptive in this situation?”
Follow your own advice and you will experience profound personal changes taking place.

Tree Sloth Medicine
Slow Down and Confirm Your Priorities with Tree Sloth Medicine
Self-care and Personal Growth through Gifts from the Rainforest:
23. Sloth Medicine – the tree sloth peers out into the jungle with clarity of vision and moves very slowly, if at all. His advice is to watch and wait for clarity before taking action.
Are you trying to do too much at one time?
Are you clear about what your true priorities are?
Is there so much going on that you can’t follow it all? If so, what will help?
Healing Action: Slow down. Narrow your focus. Be more selective. Make some priorities for yourself. Know what you want before making your move.
The Eye of Truth
The sloth lives quietly in his tree
watching the world around him.
He rarely moves unless he has something
very specific he wants to accomplish.
The birds and monkeys chatter endlessly
and rush about doing their daily business.
But this is not sloth’s way.
To him, all that screeching and squawking
and rushing around
is a distraction to clear thinking.
His motto is:
“Say what you mean and mean what you say.
Know your intention and brighten your day.
One thought at a time will make a Soul wise.
When looking for truth, I use my own eyes.”
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 Tree Sloth Medicine:
It’s time to slow down and focus your energies on what you want to accomplish. Turn your attention 100% towards a clear intention. This is not the time for multi-tasking. If you have too many things going on, you won’t be able to keep track of what’s really important, and something really important is happening in this situation. Save yourself future regrets and resentments by paying attention now.
You may be in too much of a hurry to properly appreciate some very insightful information that’s coming your way. Slow down.
Choose a situation that seems overly complicated and “all balled up.” Instead of hardening your mind to try and fix or figure things out, consciously soften your thoughts, unfurl your brow and drop your shoulders. Allow the ball you see in your mind to unwind like a ball of string.
If your mind is very stubborn, the image of your situation may stay in a ball for a while. Just keep breathing deeply into your belly while you wait for the string to appear. Eventually, the ball will begin to move around. Continue until you see a straight line in your mind. Then, patiently wait for solutions to appear. Remember that every situation is a product of cause and effect. By slowing down and letting your mind untangle, a way forward can be found.
Or
Your mind keeps jumping ahead and that’s preventing you from finishing your task. Slow down and focus on one thing at a time.
Or
Your communication with others will benefit now by being especially clear and direct. It may be that others are in too much of a hurry to hear you. Get it in writing and insist on their signature. This particular situation strongly affects your well-being. If they are unwilling, it may be time to re-evaluate the relationship.

Alligator Medicine
Reclaim Personal Power Through Alligator Medicine
Self-care and Personal Growth through Gifts from the Rainforest:
3. Alligator Medicine – peers out from the darkest swamp to scare you into submission. If you can stop buying into the fear tactics of the personal and collective ego, you can move forward freely with resolve and confidence.
Ask: Are your thoughts negative, blocked or stuck in critical judgement?
If so, how is your ego controlling you? What would help you to do the right thing?
Healing Action: : Stop fueling negativity and dissolve your fears. Let go of stories from the past. Decide that your Soul is in charge of what you do now.
Escape From Jaws
The alligator signals hidden danger.
Someone or something is getting
in the way of your progress.
Ask yourself: “Where is this cruelty coming from?”
Reclaim your self-worth.
Release the grip of fear over your mind.
Stop letting situations and people
control your actions.
Once you do, you will be free
to follow your heart enthusiastically.
Now is a time for growth,
new approaches,
and fresh ideas.
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 Alligator Medicine:
Someone’s critical mind wants to block true guidance from your Soul. Is it yours or someone else’s? It could be an external influence, but most likely it’s being fed by your own internal criticism that takes form through habitual patterns of self-hate, second guessing, self-doubt, or just plain contrariness. The inner critic doesn’t really care where an idea comes from or whether it’s helpful or not – it just wants to throw a wrench into your thinking.
When Alligator medicine shows up, you can bet that some kind of cruel mental / emotional agenda is trying to take you over and interfere with your plans. You are encouraged to let it go before you stop yourself from doing the right thing – again.
Perhaps in the past you haven’t believed that anyone was there for you. You might even have felt that others were out to get you. If that’s the case, it’s now time to respond differently. Your heart is beckoning you to overcome your fear of people, situations or circumstances and see the Love that is there. If you use this opportunity to develop genuine objectivity through hope and faith, rather than criticism, true Soul guidance can make its way to you.
Or
Perhaps you’ve unconsciously given others permission to harm you out of apathy for your own well-being. You might also examine if you have allowed someone to impatiently demand unrealistic perfection out of you. You can put an end to that behavior now. Move those critical voices to the side and stop fueling them. Ask for help from someone who is objective and trustworthy. Choose to be around kindness and be kind in return. You may need help in learning how to do this.
Look into Alligator’s Circle and ask your heart: “Who or what do I need to put behind me?”
When you give it a chance, cruelty fades away in the face of kindness.
If you’re reading this and none of it rings a bell, congratulations! You have overcome a major ego attachment. Go out and celebrate!

Intuitive Guidance for Decisive Action IX
Developing Intuitive Guidance with Gifts from the Rainforest
Animal Energy Medicine for Healing the Modern Mind – Tutorial IX
- Enhance your intuition and self-healing abilities
- Heal negative karmic and energetic patterns
- Change destructive attitudes, habits and behaviors
- Create new templates for self-love and joy
- Guided meditations to hear your inner guidance
Intuitive Guidance for Decisive Action
In Gifts from the Rainforest, there are 58 plant, animal and nature spirits that share their message with a focusing tool I call the Intuitive Learning Circles. These Circles have a hypno-therapeutic action that can help us sort out information and enhance our objectivity.
When your mind is all cluttered up with too many thoughts it can be hard to tell if something you want to do is actually a good idea. Also, some ideas that are really important can get overlooked.
You Can Use the Circles to Ask About Specific Actions to Take ~
You might want to journal to keep track of the thoughts and ideas that come up with this exercise. You can go deeper through journaling or conversation with a therapist or like-minded group.
This kind of processing is a powerful resource that helps you to sort out your thoughts. Emotions can be felt and more easily released once they’re out of your head and put down on paper, which prevents overwhelm, anxiety and burnout.
Ask Your Intuitive Guidance About Specific Actions to Take ~
Slow down with #23 Sloth and pick one action that you’re considering doing at this time – i.e. taking a trip, starting a business, a project, etc.
To help you get out of your head, use Dragonfly Medicine #31 to consciously bring your energy down into your solar plexus area and connect with your natural instincts and self-healing abilities.
Once you’ve done that, slow down even more!
Especially if you’ve been through a recent trauma, the stress of that experience might have shut down the energy in your Third Chakra, which happens to be located at your solar plexus. Take a few minutes now to help yourself by allowing it to open up and relax.
Stop focusing on all that you’re trying to accomplish and take a few minutes to clear out your mind with #12 Rat Medicine.
When your mind starts racing and you’re too busy to stop and take a deep breath, you’re identifying with herd mentality from the collective ego. Catch yourself before your ego runs away completely!
Imagine you can sweep away all that extraneous clutter. Send it to the Light and close the doors behind you that let all that clutter in.
Then relax! Take several long, deep breaths – inhale and exhale.
Move around and stretch if that helps.
Once your thinking has calmed down, gently bring your mind back to your original question using #36 Plant Spirits. What were you thinking of doing?
Notice how much better your body and mind feel when they’ve calmed down…
Now you’re ready to ask: How would taking that action nurture you?
~ Is the timing for it right?
~ Would doing it energize you, drain you or something else?
~ What is your impression of how it would actually feel to do that thing?
~ How would it affect others?
Dive deeper with #23 Divine Perspective from Soul Prayer Charts. A perspective from your Soul will help you expose potential sabotage and find your way forward in positive, productive ways.
Take the action that you’re considering and project it out into the future – what do you sense?
~ Does taking this action serve you on a Soul level?
~ Does it have purpose and meaning?
~ Would it be joyful?
~ What are the possibilities that could result from taking this action?
~ Are there certain steps or decisions that need to happen first?
Use #33 Llama and consider your proposed action again.
What effect would deciding to take this action have on your other priorities?
~ Are you willing to be flexible and follow inner guidance as you go?
~ Are there any new decisions you need to make about yourself?
Get all the gears in your mind moving together.
~ What decisions do you need to make about others?
If you need to, use the Circle to unstick those “stuck” gears and remove mental obstacles from your thinking process.
Intuitive Guidance Will Help You To Set Yourself Up for Success
#34 Butterfly will help you to consciously tap into the most beneficial energies and nourishment that would support your ability to make wise decisions and follow through with them successfully.
If you’ve decided that your proposed action isn’t a good idea for you, use #5 Wasp to pull your energy back from that possibility.
Perhaps your time would be better spent doing something else. If that’s the case, look to your intuition to follow a better plan.
Regardless of what you’ve decided, remember the Golden Mean that says what you put out comes back to you.
Confirm with #14 Otter that you are centered within yourself properly to put your highest good out there so that you can receive a reciprocal, beneficial response.
Place your best intention in the center of his Circle like a bull’s eye. Send your energy to that intention and then allow the energy to return to you.
Congratulations! You’ve made yourself an active part of the equation.
Now, be sure you’re using your karma correctly for the best possible outcome.
Start by confirming that you’re using your own karma and not confusing your actions with some one else’s.
Next, confirm that the decision you’ve made is actually in your best interests. If it is, great – good to know!
Is it positioned correctly – in your own personal garden?
Finally, make sure you’ve included the karma you need to stay grounded and keep your energy high enough so that you can easily rise above any misunderstandings, difficulties or miscommunications that may interfere with a successful follow through.
If you don’t have those intentions now, plant the seeds for them.

Is there anything else that you need to be aware of?
If there is, make a note of it.
Remember to stay open and ask for help in case you need to adapt to changing circumstances.
Now that you have answers from your intuitive guidance, take a moment to close off any harmful pathways or leaks in your energy field.
“All doors, holes or pathways that lead to suffering are sealed and healed.”
“I turn my attention in the direction of my Soul’s intention.”
Congratulations! Now is a good time to take a walk or go out into Nature to help this all integrate. Be prepared for new ideas and solutions to make their way towards you!
Please note: These Animal Totems can help you practice how you’re using your decisions to create better outcomes. However, your intention, whatever it may be, cannot be completed until you have followed through and taken action in the real, physical world.
Helpful Tips:
Did you remember to cross and uncross over the midline of your body?
With practice, you will begin to intuitively “know” whether you need to cross or uncross. Give yourself permission to make a habit of this valuable skill.
Were you willing to play and be flexible with the Circles?
In this exercise and all the other sequences on this website, I’ve taken the time to create a general template that I hope will be helpful. However, self-healing is an individual process and your experience will be unique – differing even from one day to the next. That’s why it’s important to remember that your Soul is in charge!
With that in mind, you may be ready to begin your Animal Totem Tracks series.
If you feel you’re ready, go through this exercise again with that question in mind. Checking in with your Soul to evaluate your options is one of the best decisions you can make!
