Nourish A New Perspective Through Butterfly Medicine
Self-care and Personal Growth through Gifts from the Rainforest:
34. Butterfly – Butterfly medicine is about nourishing ourselves appropriately so that we can flourish while we go through the many metamorphoses in our lives.
What kind of changes have taken place within you recently?
Are you nourishing yourself correctly?
If not, what needs to change?
Healing Action: Pay attention to how you’re nourishing yourself. Learn to say no to harmful input. Be open to receive amazing new forms of beneficial nourishment.
The Changing Butterfly
The butterfly has successfully transitioned
out of its cocoon.
It must learn to nourish itself
in an entirely new way if it is to survive.
So it is with the humans.
They encounter many metamorphoses
throughout their lives, yet they often forget
that the old ways no longer work.
Consider the changes in your life
and consciously discontinue the old ways
you had of nourishing and being nourished.
Ask for guidance from the butterfly
about this new life you have entered.
What are the necessary changes you must make?

Butterfly Medicine
You have recently gone through a significant transformation and your vision is hampered by the fact that you’ve never been in this position before. You’re filled with hesitation and doubt because you don’t know what to expect. Naturally, it may take some time to realize you’re no longer the way you were. Your perception of yourself needs to make some changes as well.
Take some time out to play and explore new ways to take care of yourself. Old patterns of self-defeat and self-destruction have been healed; now it’s time to get a new perspective based on your current needs. Many decisions you’ve made in the past are no longer relevant.
Look at Butterfly’s Circle and make some choices about would nourish you now. Ask your heart what changes you need to make in order for your choices to prosper. What kind of input will help you spread your new wings? You may be surprised by the answers that come back to you. If they’re full of contradictions, you will understand more clearly how your ego is still trying to sabotage your growth.
Refrain from blocking positive change through denial, doubt or self-criticism. Lift any restrictions your ego may have put on receiving Love. Accept that change has come and you can’t go back to the way that things were. Actively seek out creative, nurturing energy and allow it to support you in the most appropriate and generous form.

#26 Bat – bat medicine is the power of not knowing. When we allow the vibration of balanced intuition to guide us, we become open to miraculous resources.
Does your intuition need a boost or redirect in your current situation?
Are you picking up a “vibe” that doesn’t feel right?
If so, what would help?
Healing Action: Tune into your Soul’s unique vibration to increase your awareness of the vibes around you. Access intuition to find amazing solutions and opportunities.
Night Vision
The bat has extrasensory powers
that guide him in total blindness.
His intuition is heightened beyond our human experience.
We live in a world of absolutes – we think.
And the natural world around us is
something we think we can control.
Bat knows the falsehood in limited thinking.
Re-source your thinking from that of the
small mind to the larger mind
that knows all things are possible.
Solutions appear out of nowhere.
Ingenuity transcends the boundaries of time and space.
Bat medicine is the power of not knowing.

Being guided by Love is a process of letting go. The things you have done in the past will not work now. Surrendering to your intuition is the best plan. Be willing to change your attitude, because poor attitudes breed poor intuition.
Animals use their senses keenly to find things that will benefit them. Unfortunately, most humans rely far too heavily on only one sense. As a result, we often miss the little details that could make all the difference in how a situation turns out.
You are not as stuck as you think you are. Trust your intuition and use vibration to guide you. If the “vibe” around you isn’t right, you will feel it in your gut. Surrender to your Soul’s unique vibration to heal yourself and remove all kinds of “bad vibes” that trouble you. Once you are clear, new ideas and resources can fly into your being.
Sensing the best in any situation requires that you sense the best in yourself. Be open and receptive now for new experiences.

Any person who is going through serious loss could experience emotional shock.
The symptoms of emotional shock are disorientation, numbness, mental confusion or fragmentation. A person may even disconnect and leave their body. This includes people who are witness to traumatic experiences in some way.
These are all ways that the unconscious mind protects us during a traumatic event.
Sometimes people who’ve received bad news or experienced a traumatic event will tell you that they’re fine and not to worry about them. They may get confused or shut down and not be able to explain what’s happening to them. That’s because one of the main symptoms of being in shock is not being aware of being in shock. Why is that? During a shock, the mind goes blank as a form of protection.
Any person involved in a traumatic event could experience disorientation, numbness or mental confusion. They might even fragment out of their body and then not remember what they did. These are all ways that the unconscious mind protects us during a traumatic event and that includes people who are witness to traumatic experiences in some way.
Contrary to popular opinion, having a shock response is not a sign of weakness or something to be ashamed of. It is a physiological event. Nevertheless, if the person doesn’t get a chance to get grounded in their body again – or if they’re not able to – serious problems may develop. Blocked energy and a constant state of fight or flight takes its toll over time. Statements like: “I can’t relax,” “I don’t know what to do,” “I feel disconnected” or “I just check out,” describe the experience of emotional shock.
If any of the above seems like it may apply to you, go through this mind exercise step by step to help you access your own innate healing abilities and bring yourself back into balance.
Simply follow the directions and see if you can free up some of the confusion and conflict that comes from shock. Here’s an example of how it works. Simply relax and gaze softly at the Circle while you contemplate each of these positive affirmations:
“I reclaim and balance my five senses.”
“I focus them to be present and aware of my body.”
“I use them to become aware of my environment and what’s important to me right now.”
“I focus on life affirming actions that benefit my well-being and happiness.”
Mind Body Integration
For best results, look at each symbol both crossed over the midline of the body and uncrossed so that the correction is more complete.
Let yourself breathe and relax as much as possible. Don’t worry if the images move around or change in any way. That just means the Circles are working and that your mind and body are relaxing.
Be sure to go through the entire formula and at the end, give yourself time to rest and integrate.
Healing Emotional Shock and Confusion
Step One:
Take several deep breaths and relax while you look at this Circle that releases shock and inner conflict.
Imagine you can use it to focus in on a conflict, a thought or a painful experience that’s blocking your way. If your mind is blank, relax into how “blank” it is. You may get a conscious image or message, or you may not.
Once you have a sense that your mind has found the blockage, sit back and take a couple more deep breaths. Imagine that the lines going into the center are relaxing and going soft, like cooked spaghetti noodles.
Or, you can visualize that the darkness or heaviness is like an iceberg and the Sun is melting it away with a beautiful beam of light. Allow it to melt until it’s completely gone.
Repeat the process with other blockages or conflicts that come up.
Step Two:
The next step is to bring your senses into balance so that you can see, feel and hear things without the distortion that often accompanies shock.
As you breathe deeply, let this Circle help you to adjust the volume and pitch of your senses to just the right level for you.
Soon you will be able to hear that calm, gentle voice inside that reminds you about what matters the most to you:
“I see things as they really are. My senses are balanced. I can perceive clearly what matters the most.”
Step Three:
When a person is ready to pull themself out of a shocking event, their mind needs to have a safe idea of where to go.
This template for Common Ground will help you find a place to re-organize around that is aligned with your Soul, Nature and the Common Good.
If you gently meditate on this image you can begin to connect with a new environment that has room for equality, peaceful co-operation and balanced prosperity.
Step Four:
Relax with this symbol to connect with life affirming energy flow.
“I adapt to the positive flow of chi’ and protection availablethrough the Element of Air to the best of my ability.”
“I close down harmful energy channels from the past.”
“I connect to helpful, life affirming channels of communication.”
Step Five:
Make sure that you’re no longer planted in that old experience, whatever it was. It’s important that you pull your energy completely out of the past so you can get present and grounded again.Your well-being is important.
Let this Chart for the Earth Element help you unearth old agreements or conditioning that’s sucking you back into the past or holding you down.
“I uproot whatever is confusing me. I decide to pull my roots out of old, stagnant, trapped or stuck places.
Once you’ve freed yourself, place both feet on the ground and your hands on each knee while you use these affirmations:
“I decide to get present and ground in Common Ground.”
“I am safe and the Earth supports me.”
Step Six:
If your gut feels tight or uncomfortable, use this Reiki Chakra Key for your solar plexus to help you relax and get back into balance there. Your solar plexus is that soft place in your belly where your ribs go up. Just take some nice breaths and feel it relax as you say to yourself:
“It’s safe. I feel safe and more relaxed with every breath.”
“I can reconnect with my resources again.”
Take your time and move around if you need to. Stay with it until you feel centered again
Step Seven:
Take some more time and let your heart recover. This Key will help you to reconnect and balance your Heart Center so you can clear away any residual heaviness. Breathe deeply and be gentle.
“I take the time to reconnect with my heart.”
“I release any heaviness to the Light where it can be transformed.”
“I choose to reconnect with life and _________.”
Eventually, your Heart Center will be able to radiate out like a star.
“I integrate my true Self with a compassionate and radiant heart.”
Step Eight:
Sometimes a person who’s coming out of emotional shock will be disoriented and feel a bit “out of their body.” In case that’s happening with you, take a few minutes to consciously bring yourself back into your body.
“I am at home in my center. I am inside my body.”
You can open and close your hands. Move your fingers and wiggle your toes around. Move in whatever way helps you feel good and more present in your body. Notice the time and where you are. These actions all help you recover from emotional shock.
Step Nine:
Get back in touch with the familiar vibration of your Soul.To do that, relax with this Circle. Remember a time when you were very happy or had successfully accomplished an important physical goal.
What color or felt sense relaxes you and feels good?
If you can increase the color to be stronger and more vibrant, you’ve found your Soul’s unique vibration. Now you can sync up with the Universe correctly, which puts you back in the flow.
Being in a balanced flow makes everything easier! Take a few minutes to relax and enjoy that feeling.
Step Ten:
Oftentimes, healing emotional shock and confusion requires a change in priorities. There may be certain intention or expectations that have contributed to your confusion.
Use this Circle to identify and remove old intentions that are no longer appropriate for you to hold or send energy to.
Imagine you can clear away any outdated intentions or societal motives that are harmful to your health, prosperity and happiness.
Now that they’re gone, what new intentions do you want to set or strengthen?
Step Eleven:
There may also be negative or outdated plans, blueprints and habitual patterns that are suddenly reversed. They may no longer be relevant or constructive and are now obstructing your way forward.You can use this symbol for dissolving destructive blueprints to help you identify them and dissolve whatever is confusing you.
Actively imagine that the negative patterns in your mind are like heavy clouds or a jumbled maze of fears, dead ends and nightmares.
Once you have the image, bring the pure light of the Sun in and dissolve the maze completely.
You’ll know that you’re done when you can see yourself standing in a beautiful open field with clear blue skies all around.
Please note: 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 Twelve:
Be sure to include harmful karma that you may still be carrying.Release any seeds of karma that could prolong or cause a recurrence of your suffering and send them to the Light.
Also, surrender any seeds that are not yours so they can return to wherever they belong and be healed!
“I surrender other people’s karma and take responsibility for my own.”
These steps are often overlooked, causing a lot of repeat and unnecessary suffering.
Later, once the karma has been set right, consider planting new seeds for healthier and happier outcomes.
Step Thirteen:
When one door closes another can open, so be certain to seal and heal any holes, leaks or harmful pathways that may have come open in your energy field during this process.Open pathways can leave you vulnerable to danger by allowing harmful energies to pass back and forth between you and others.
As you gaze at the Circle, affirm that harmful leaks and open holes are closing up completely. See it happening in your mind’s eye.
“All holes are healed and sealed.”
“I follow the direction of my Soul’s protection.”
Step Fourteen:
Finally, you’re in a place where you can successfully surround your Self with a sphere of courage, strength and protection. Shamans call this a “ring of fire”.
With it, you feel safer and more confident with every breath.
“I am surrounded and filled with strength, courage and determination.”
Give yourself permission to rest and restore your wholeness before you move on from this exercise.
Then, in your own time and in your own way, you can gently return to conscious awareness.
Congratulations!
Now that you’re finished with the exercise, consider taking a nice walk outside. Nothing grounds you like being in nature after an emotional shock.

#22 Mosquito – mosquito medicine reminds us to stop listening to all the buzzing in our heads so we can hear our Soul’s guidance and stay focused on our best interests.
Are you distracted by harmful thoughts, groupthink or destructive attitudes?
If so, what would help?
Healing Action: Calm down to detach. Turn off electronics and media for a bit. Clear confusion and herd by meditating or taking a walk outdoors.
Mosquito Bites
What could be more irritating than mosquito bites?
They distract us, frustrate us,
and keep us from enjoying where we are.
Our mosquito minds act in much the same way.
Constantly finding a new problem,
a different worry, another misfortune –
and then it bemoans its life,
“Oh! When will this pain ever end?
Never. If the mosquito mind has its way.
Learn to turn off the buzzing
by becoming still and
listening to your
heart instead.

Criticism, judgment or prejudice within your own mind is keeping you isolated and unable to utilize the help that is being offered. It’s also preventing you from growing in a positive direction.
What you bring into reality has a lot to do with the choices you make and that’s often based on what you’re paying attention to. Have you been spending too much time with technology or listening to the media? Over-exposure could be a big source of trouble.
Whenever your mind is filled with negative thoughts, it isn’t a good time to push yourself further by trying to force your way through. The best thing to do is take it easy so you don’t burn yourself out. Rushing around trying to get things done will probably backfire at this time. Instead, do something special for yourself that will take your attention away from your negative thoughts. Keeping your thoughts neutral makes it easier to stay in contact with your Soul.
Or
You have been caught in a maze of conflict and contempt that seems to be unending. Chaos is rampant, no one seems to have a solution and common sense is completely absent from the situation. Creative energy is suppressed and opportunity has been shut down.
It may be necessary to transform attitudes and behaviors if you want to cooperate with the higher wisdom of your Soul. As you look at the Circle, notice the thoughts that keep going through your head. Luckily the Universe is more loving than the ego!
Instead of focusing on the conflict, look at the Circle again, only this time, focus on things that bring you joy. This could be one of those situations where “faking it till you make it” is one of the best or perhaps the only way out of your predicament.
This is not a denial of what’s happening. This is acceptance and then making a deliberate choice to focus on the very best, most productive thoughts that would be in your highest good. Doing so will help you recharge your creative batteries and get you through a difficult time.

One of the biggest challenges of facing our current situation is the problem of disaster thinking.
It’s so easy to get sucked into negative, disaster thinking. All you have to do is turn on any form of media and within minutes you’re hit with intense waves of fear, paranoia, even wrath. Before you know it, your energy is getting drained and you’re feeling on the edge of collapse.
If you feel that you’ve already dropped into a hole of hopelessness, I recommend going through our self care formula Clearing an Overwhelmed Mind immediately or select another formula from our Overwhelm Help menu to reboot your energy.
However, if you’re still able to see that you’re heading toward one of those holes, there’s still time to stop yourself and turn around.
Of course there are plenty of disastrous events that are actually happening. I’m not suggesting that you isolate, live in denial or surround yourself with ‘nothing to see here’ apathy. However, letting your attention get sucked into all the problems while ignoring the solutions is like watching a rotten foundation collapse under your feet and assuming the rest of the building is going to stay upright and stable. It ain’t gonna happen!
Our problems can’t be solved from the same mental position they were created from. A positive balance can be struck by consciously pulling your attention and energy away from the problems and redirecting them to genuinely helpful solutions.
It may sound hard to do, but learning to stop disaster thinking can happen with a holistic approach that works with Mother Nature.
With the Intuitive Learning Circle method, you can easily use the symbols and Animal Totems Circles as refocusing tools. All you have to do is be open and follow the simple directions.
Each Circle helps gather unconscious information, organize awareness and illuminate solutions that come directly from your Soul. You are in charge!
Mind Body Integration
For best results, look at each symbol both crossed over the midline of your body and uncrossed so that the correction is more complete.
Feel free to move at anytime in any way to help you embody your experience!
If someone is with you, talk to them about some of the feelings that you’re having. It could help you to gain perspective on your situation. Having perspective allows you to make the best decisions about what will help you now.
Start out by taking a moment to consider what kinds of situations really suck you in. At this moment, what seems to be draining you?
An energy drain could be anything – time, work, family, politics, technology, social media or even a personal relationship.
What kind of disaster thinking comes to mind first?
Next, scroll down and gaze softly at the short sequence of Intuitive Learning Circles below. Let each Circle help you access intuitive answers to the questions that go along with them.
Step 1:
Take a moment to relax and take a few deep breaths. Let your shoulders drop and gently look at the Circle in whatever way that appeals to you. Once you feel pretty relaxed, ask yourself some questions:
“What am I paying attention to and is that in my best interests?”
“What am I making up about this? Is my imagination running wild? Am I thinking it could only happen one way? Or, is there a strange combination of both?”
It’s important that you take whatever answers that come to you because they’re having a significant effect on your ability to focus on a positive mindset.
Step 2:
Are you fixating on the problem or does your mind go blank? If so, your mental / emotional energy is feeding directly into the problem instead of solving it!
See if you can soften your thoughts and attention by relaxing with this Circle. Breathe into it and visualize the lines getting all soft and wavy, like limp, loose spaghetti noodles.
Once you’re relaxed, you can move any blockages out of the way.
Step 3.
Gaze softly at this next Circle that helps you access your unconscious decisions:
“What decisions am I making about this situation? What have I decided about myself? Are those productive thoughts?”
If they are productive, great! Make them even stronger. If they’re not productive, you may need to remove those unproductive decisions that are spinning around in your mind, or you may need to release fixated thoughts again with Step 2.
Notice how you can spin those blockages out by meditating on Llama’s Circle while encouraging the wheels in your mind to flow together in a clockwise direction.
Once you’ve let those unconscious decisions go, you can reprogram your mind. What kind of thoughts and decisions would be better for you to follow? Don’t judge, just relax and let this Circle help you turn your thoughts around. Oftentimes, when we change the direction of the wheels that go round in our minds, we become open to solutions that can change how we’re responding to the situation. Visualize them syncing up together in a clockwise direction.
Step 4.
To gain control of your thoughts, it helps to utilize the generative life force from the Element of Air. Connect with this symbol to help you integrate the new energy. Use it to close confusing energy channels from the past.
You can even connect with new channels of helpful communication. Imagine the lines in the Circle connecting up in the center. Take all the time that you need. Both crossed and uncrossed.
Step 5.
Do you need to change any intentions that are interfering with your health or happiness? If you do, it’s time to surrender them like old ashes out of a shaman’s prayer pipe.
What is a simple intention that would be more beneficial now?
Possible suggestion would include taking good care of yourself and staying in the New Paradigm to the best of your ability.
Step 6.
As you gaze at the totem for Snake Medicine, ask yourself:
“Am I willing to re-align my chakra system around my new intention using this new communication channel and generative life flow?”
If the answer you get is “no,” what is the blockage that you’re experiencing? Is a particular chakra or mindset creating a problem? What would help?
If the answer is “yes,” use your imagination to visualize protective energies like Reiki filling up and flowing through your body. Doing this will help you to safely detach from disaster thinking and reinforce the integrity of your energy field. This may take a while. Take a break, move around or stretch for a few minutes.
Step 7.
If you’ve decided to take good care of yourself, continue to seal up those drains in your energy field – nice and secure.
“All leaks and drains affecting my energy are closing down and shutting off in accordance with my highest good.”
This puts your Essence in a better mindset to re-direct all that energy to the care and feeding of your body, mind and Soul!
Step 8.
Use this Circle to help connect you with your heart center which will empower your highest good.
“I am empowered to make beneficial decisions and maintain my highest good – for my own sake and the sake of others.”
Again, this may take a few minutes to integrate, so do what you are inspired to do. Move around and stretch if you like.
Step 9:
Check into your sense of direction…
“Am I clear and heading in the direction that’s genuinely helpful to me?”
If you’re confused, relax and let Dog Medicine help you get back on track.
Step 10.
Imagine that your spirit can turn you towards the direction of your highest good and close the door completely on all that disaster thinking.
“All harmful pathways are sealed and healed. I follow the direction of my Soul’s protection.”
Once you’re clear that you’re heading in the right direction, you have successfully pulled yourself out of disaster thinking.
Congratulations!
Now that you know how to use the Circles and how they can help, you might want to experiment some more.

Close the Drains to Negativity with Fly Medicine ~
Self-care and Personal Growth through Gifts from the Rainforest:
19.Fly – Fly medicine warns us to clean up self-destructive habits and attend to what’s in our best interest. Our best self-interest is health, life and the creative power of Love.
Are you getting sucked into a toxic pattern from the past?
If so, what will clean it up and set its right?
Healing Action: Don’t get sucked into bad habits. Deconstruct them. Close the drains and clean up leftover garbage. Then fill the leftover void with love, life and happiness!
Fly Right
The fly lives off the waste and garbage
left by others.
When unattended to, this pest brings bacteria and disease with it,
spreading misfortune and death among the living
He serves as a potent reminder that if you leave
unfinished business to fester, illness will return again.
Right action is about inner direction
and doing what’s in your best self-interest.
When you see the fly, consider how it’s in your best self interests to
clean up self-destructive habits and toxicity in your environment.
Then, once you’ve released the poison from your system,
leave it behind.
Do not return again to eat from your own garbage.
It’s no longer a part of you and you have no need of it,
no matter how familiar it is.
Mind Body Integration

Something about a project or plan you’re involved with is falling between the cracks and has become a drain to your life force. Stop now and seriously consider what it might be.
The Fly is showing up to make it clear this situation is wasting your time and energy. Perhaps there’s something you believe about yourself or the world that’s been causing you trouble.
Your ability to take good care of yourself has been blocked by some unfinished business. You may be feeling hopeless and drained. Perhaps your ego is saying that change for the better is too hard and that you aren’t worth taking care of, so why bother? Nothing could be further from the truth. Look into Fly’s Circle and ask, “What kind of garbage am I feeding myself?”
Look for hidden malignancies in your thinking and eject them. If others are projecting harmful intentions at you, clear your blind spots and see the situation for what it is.
If you’ve been putting up with abuse from others, take courage and set some healthy boundaries. Whoever first told you that you weren’t worth taking care of was really just expressing how they felt about themselves. Don’t believe this lie, or you will fall back into destructive habits that have caused you no end of sorrow in the past. Avoid the trap by releasing agreements about needing any of that garbage anymore.
Make yourself a priority and choose to take care of yourself.
If you find yourself picking at old wounds, now is the time to decide you are not a receptacle for abuse. Use the Circle to find and excavate those toxic thoughts or attitudes and send them to the Light before they cause any more trouble. Then, visualize closing down the drains to your energy. If you do this successfully, your energy will soon return to normal.
When you’ve finished, ask Fly’s Circle to help you find the void that’s been left behind and fill it in with an extra dose of Love and healing energy. Remember that when you turn your attention towards Love, you create more of it!

What, if anything, needs to change, reorder or recover?
Healing Action: When something’s not working or out of order, be willing to change. Follow your common sense to get the flow going again. Reclaim your gifts by connecting with your Higher Self and core energy.
Wings of Change
Raven represents the principle of change.
She lives in harmony with the times
and adapts to both city and country life.
That’s why there are so many of her
brothers and sisters everywhere you look!
Let her teach you how to prosper
in any circumstance.
Remember, it’s not the circumstances
of your life that are causing you stress –
it’s how you’re responding to your circumstances.
A critical mind will try to resist change
and in so doing, will bring pain and suffering to the body.
All things must change.
Let go.
Go with the flow.

Further Exploration into Raven Medicine:
Raven Medicine
Ravens are known as tricksters, though sometimes they’re just showing up to ask: “How are you tricking yourself?”
When you get too attached to an idea or goal, your ego can get enchanted by visions that somebody else holds for you. Perhaps others are thinking they can get you to do what they want by repeating the same message over and over again. Raven wants you to think for yourself. What’s really going on here?
It would be wise to learn how to use your intuition to access common sense. Wake up from your trance by sorting out the truth from the fiction. See what happens when you stop investing in what others want and invest in yourself first.
Ravens are also known to bestow gifts on those who make friends with them so paying attention to the concept of gifts, gifting and being gifted are part of her medicine. For example, if someone has given you a gift, how are you using it? Is it benefitting you or is it time to move it on?
Is it time to share a gift you have with others?
Have you given your gifts away too freely?
Raven says, “Clear sight and high self-esteem are the result of clear thinking.” Gaze into her Circle and ask to become aware of a special gift you have that you’ve been ignoring.
Are you being so envious of other people’s gifts that you’re not appreciating your own? There are some skills you’re really good at and others you are not. This is true for everyone. No one is better than you because of what they know or do. Learn to be patient with your shortcomings.
Most importantly, Raven could be warning you that you need to recover core energy (personal power) as soon as possible. Perhaps someone has been thinking up some mischief for you to fall into by confusing you and messing with how you’re using your energy. If that’s the case, your ability to change or use your gifts properly is severely impaired. Look at the Circle and ask your Soul to help you clear the mix up and regain your power.
