Do the Right Thing – Conflict Resolution

How To Do the Right Thing and Turn Things Around

Do you ever have the feeling that you’re about to do something you’ll regret? Do you get concerned that you’re not doing something you really ought to do? If you could straighten out your thinking and do the right thing, what would that do for you?

You can help yourself find emotional healing by taking this quick quiz…

You may be having difficulty interacting with situations and relationships around you because of false information, mixed messages or unresolved issues from your past. By taking the time to go within and find out what your thinking really is, you can understand what’s motivating you and take action to resolve the situation.

Part One: Help Me Do The Right Thing!

Note: This exercise is associated with the I Ching Hexagrams #6 CONFLICT, #38 CONTRADICTION and #43 RESOLUTION:

The way to play this game is to relax and breathe deeply while you meditate on the questions and suggestions that accompany the Circles. This first one will help you to slow down and let yourself focus on one thing at a time.

“I slow down and relax.”

“I am able to focus on my priorities.”

After you’ve gotten calmer and more relaxed, ask yourself an honest question:
“What do I really want here?”
You may want to journal or take note of the initial answers that come to you.

If you get a clear answer, skip down to STEP FOUR. If not, continue with the next step.

2. If you’re not able to focus, take a few minutes with this next Circle that helps you clear conflicting thoughts and fixations. When your mind gets fixated on a particular grievance or offense, it can be really hard to let it go.

It’s understandable, however the problem with that reaction is when the fixation hardens into a blockage that prevents you from resolving the trauma. A survival mind cannot see the opportunities that are available to help you heal and move on. It goes into a kind of tunnel vision where your nervous system freezes up around the grievance and carries it around with you, wherever you go. This is not a recipe for being joyful or happy.

Luckily, there are ways to relax and melt away the fixation.

Use the Circle to help you find that hardened thought or feeling. It will have a strong, electrical charge. Once you’ve found it, visualize a block of ice melting away under the heat of the Sun until it’s completely gone. Breathe and relax your body as much as you’re willing to.
Alternately, you can imagine the lines going in towards the center, softening and beginning to move, like cooked spaghetti noodles. Moving around often helps.
Repeat the process with other blockages that come up to the surface.
Your sub-conscious mind may have been holding onto them for a very long time. Even life times!

3. This is one of the reasons why unpreferred karma keeps coming around and never resolves. It’s an endless cycle of no win situations until you find a way to set it right and let go of the original hardened thought or seed. Imagine that you can use this Circle to go back to the very beginning of where this conflict began.

Once you find those original seeds, imagine you can lift them up out of your mind and send them to the Light. This affirmation will help:

“I let go of carrying this suffering anymore.”

Continue with any other seeds of Karma that could prolong or cause a recurrence of your suffering and send them to the Light as well.

“I release the seeds of cruelty, betrayal, deceit, resentment and revenge.”
“I am no longer a dumping ground for other people’s karma or ill will.”

“I intend to plant seeds that will RESOLVE this conflict peacefully and completely – for my own sake.”

Once you feel with complete with setting your Karma right, go back up to step 1 and see if you can focus better.

Step 4

4. Once you have an answer that feels right, continue asking yourself the questions while you gaze softly at the accompanying Circle.
Take your time, the answers might not come right away. The Circles are helping your mind to clear away mental and emotional clutter that cause you to make rash decision or resist your own best interests.

Use this Circle to observe your mind as you consider a basic question:

“What is my mind telling me to do?”

Notice how your survival mind likes to focus in on a trauma reaction or complicate things by spinning around in a dozen different directions. These kinds of decisions are unlikely to benefit you in the long run and will most likely cause more trouble.

Go back to the Circle and ask yourself:
“Am I holding onto other people’s opinions or a past decision that’s in CONFLICT with what would really be in my best interests now? If so, can I tell what it is?”
Are you holding onto an unreasonable CONFLICT yourself?
If so, are you willing to decide to let it go?

“I decide to take care of and love myself to the very best of my ability.”

5. Continue your investigation. Now is a good time to avoid emotional outbursts and extraneous tension that’s caused through cultural misunderstandings or agendas.
These behaviors are a waste of your precious resources. Through acceptance, you can learn to curb your more indulgent tendencies and redirect your energy to attend to the business at hand.
To help you do this, it would be good to uncover certain cultural agreements that may be affecting you from the shadows. Ask this Circle:

“What is my motivation here?”

“Is there an agreement I have with myself or anyone else involved that’s triggering a hate, fear or revenge based reaction?
Is it tearing me apart, shutting me down or making me feel like, ‘why bother?’
Can I tell where and from whom I learned to do this?”

“What do I need to do to heal myself?”
In most cases, part of healing requires letting go of something from the past.
Is there any part of you that doesn’t want to do that?

6. Use this Circle to shed some light on what kind of intentions you’ve been holding.

“What kind of intention am I holding about this situation?”

“If I continue to hold that intention, what am I really asking for?
“Do I need to amend my intention or let go of it completely?
Are there any parts of you that don’t want to let it go completely?

“What intention might help me respond better in this situation?”
“What would it mean if I could be kinder to myself?”
Are there other intentions that might be causing CONFLICT for you?

7. See if there are any old agreements, assumptions or grudges that could be keeping this CONFLICT going and release them. Visualize them like contracts, burning up into nothingness in a violet flame.

“I let go of outdated agreements, assumptions, contradictions, compulsions, obsessions, obligations or dogma.”
“I let go of the need to hold onto the conflict in this situation.”
“I let go of any conditioning or training that perpetuates unnecessary conflict.”
“I release any agreements to take things personally or internalize them.”

Make some new agreements that support a healthy resolution, like:
“My new agreement is to see the CONFLICT for what it really is.”
“My Soul is in charge. I accept and forgive myself for what I’ve done in the past. “
“I choose my words and actions wisely now.”
“I decide to accept the other party as they are and respond with integrity.”
“I decide to use the cooperative, life affirming energies of the New Paradigm to RESOLVE this situation effectively.” Etc.

8. Ask what sort of messages are being projected in your situation.

“Is it possible that someone is just trying to get a reaction out of me? Am I getting trapped in a nightmare of projections?”

Projections are usually particular emotions or conflicts that your mind is already wrestling with.
Pull back and imagine that the situation is like being trapped in a maze or house of mirrors.
Release your agreement to perpetuate it, then, consciously shatter the mirrors and deconstruct the trap. Clear it all away until there’s nothing left to hold onto.

9. Refocus your senses onto what’s really happening – without distractions.
What is the truth in this situation?
How would you describe it?

Ask yourself:
“Where can I find the real solutions to this CONFLICT?”
Make note of the answers that come to you, even if they don’t make sense at first.

10. Use this Reiki Chakra Key to connect into your Heart Center and the Light that Shines from within.

“What would help me to turn around and move towards understanding so that I can do the right thing?”

It may help to intend that all fourteen of your meridians are feeding it directly and that the energy of your heart is radiating out – rather than pulling in.

ADVANCED CORRECTIONS for Interfering Energy

Sometimes CONFLICTS involve entanglements with cursing energy, mental illness, herd mentality or violent thought forms. These can be tricky and often need to be deconstructed safely from a variety of angles. The following CORRECTIONS are included to help you RESOLVE the issue on a deeper level so you can be free to do the right thing!

This particular Soul Prayer Chart can help you get to the bottom of what may be going on and identify what actions you can take to help yourself without wasting too much time.

“Is a trickster or other false design obscuring my true blueprint?”
“Am I unwittingly operating under a curse?”
“Do I need to let go of a false imprint?”

If so, on what level or levels?
Physical, etheric, mental, emotional, astral or spiritual?
If it’s spiritual, is it on the level of how you see yourself spiritually or how you see others?

Correction – Damage to the Auras

There may be energies from others that have attached to your aura. The damage creates pockets in your energy field where you unwittingly store “baggage” that prevents you from being able to let go. Use this Soul Prayer Chart to help you neutralize interfering energies and detach from them.

Imagine that the energy around you is expanding and filing up with Light so that those energies just lift right up and off of you.

If you are a Reiki practitioner, this is an excellent time to beam Reiki into the Chart with these positive affirmations:

“I easily and effectively remove toxic and heavily charged energies.”
“They are lifting and being neutralized safely by the Light of the Sun.”

CORRECTION – Neutralize Toxic Entanglements

Get help clearing your energy field of toxins. Use this key to relax and mend any energetic wounds that are associated with negative attachments, psychic attack, heavy metals, electro-magnetic poisoning or viral energies.
Like a healing balm, imagine that a loving coat of peace and comfort is pouring down over you.

“My chakra system can easily and effectively neutralize interfering energies and detach from them.”

Continue to beam Reiki into the Chart until the energy subsides.

CORRECTION

When a person is experiencing CONFLICT, anxiety or has been exposed to viruses and other destructive energies, it’s not uncommon for their chakras and/or meridians to start running in reverse or shut down entirely.
Relax and let this Correction Key help you make corrections to problems including addictions, allergic reactions, deformations, reversals and misdirections.

“I repair the glitches, holes and blockages in my energy system.”

Sometimes the CONFLICTING energy is in our environment contributes to glitches or reversals in our energy fields.
Use it to smooth out any rough energy until you can begin to feel the calming energy of your Soul coming through.

CORRECTION – Detach from Destructive Mindsets & Groupthink

Early Morning Storm can help you detach from harmful emotional constructs, irritations and motivations that are shared collectively.
Make sure that you’re not inadvertently attached to an external CONFLICT or adversarial state of mind.

“My mind and Essence stops feeding CONFLICT, interference or __________.”

For electro-magnetic attachments, use The Essential Human. Ask for numbers between 1 and 42 to help you detach from destructive mindsets and agendas.

You can also use Divine Nature Activated for ancestral/epigenetic clearing.
Ask for numbers between 1 – 73.
Keep asking for numbers until the Circle reflects a clear slate.

11. Now you’re ready to bring RESOLUTION to the various mental and emotional behaviors that have fed your CONFLICT. Use this symbol to dissolve destructive blueprints that have been causing you harm.

“I release the mental/emotional patterns of reacting out of fear, obligation, dread, revenge or disdain.”

“I let go of the underlying triggers of worry, guilt or ___________ and send them to the Light.”

Take your time and visualize them dissolving like dark clouds into the pure, light of the Sun.

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!

12. Once the patterns are dissolved in your mind, seal and heal any leaks or attachments that may lead you back into CONFLICT.

“All holes are sealed and healed. All pathways that lead to CONTRADICTIONS and CONFLICT are closing.”

“I follow the direction of my Soul’s protection and intended path.”

Congratulations! Letting go is one of the hardest things for us to do. Yet, they say that when one door closes, another can open. When you’re willing to make a change for the better – anything is possible!

It’s best now to take some time away and rest so that you can ingrate and really let go. Taking a walk or being out in Nature is always and excellent way to process…

Once You’re Ready, You Can Continue with Part Two: How to Turn Things Around!

This is where you get to empower the RESOLUTION.

How Well Are You Nourishing Yourself?

Evaluate How You’re Nourishing Yourself in the New Paradigm ~

Kuan Yin has been helping us through these I Ching Readings to transition from the old economic paradigm based on greed and fear to a new paradigm of co-operation and balanced prosperity. Today, her advice about NOURISHING comes from the I Ching, an ancient book of divination that follows the flow of the cosmos. Because of that, her advice and instruction comes from a different perspective than ours.

To help you better connect with her assistance, she uses the Intuitive Learning Circles to communicate with you through meditation, positive affirmations and visualization. Here’s an example that could help you tune into how your nourishing yourself:

“I reclaim and balance my five senses.”

“I focus them to be aware of my own body and how I’m taking care of myself.”

“I gain clear awareness of what beneficial energies and actions could nourish me in present time.”

“I become aware of blockages and new ways to remedy them.”

MIND BODY INTEGRATION

For best results playing a Transformation Game, look at each Circle both crossed over the midline of the body and uncrossed so that the correction is more complete.

Kuan Yin’s I Ching Readings and Transformation Games can help you to identify problems, change your focus to positive solutions, ground yourself and get in the present. Simply relax and gaze at the Circles while contemplating Kuan Yins words. Your intuition will come forward and give you the help that you seek.

Welcome to the I Ching Reading and Transformation Game for: Hexagram # 27 – Nourishing

Did you know that your body knows a lot about what it needs and how well you’re nourishing yourself?

Part One: Physical and Emotional Nourishment

For example, your Second Chakra is deeply connected to your emotions, your digestion and immunity. It has a lot of information about how you’re NOURISHING yourself on these levels and what you might do to improve. However, during times of high stress or illness, communication can get blocked from your conscious awareness, making it hard to hear what your body is trying to tell you. Take a moment and relax with this Reiki Chakra Key for your Second Chakra to help you tune in and listen. Use the affirmations if they help or come up with one of your own.

“I allow free flowing, life affirming energy to nourish my Second Chakra.”

“I intend to get clear information about my health and how well I’m nourishing myself.”

There are several ways that the Second Chakra can get blocked. One is inappropriate nourishment. Perhaps you’re eating the wrong foods for you at this time or you could be taking in toxic elements from your environment, including pollution, chemicals, electro-magnetics, illness or other harmful energies.

See if this Circle can help you bring your awareness in to check for those energies. Yes or no, are you picking up:
Any foods that are causing problems?
A problem in the water you’re drinking?
Something in the air that you’re breathing?

Disturbing frequencies, electro-magnetics, chemicals, illness or
other harmful energies?
Make notes for yourself so that you don’t forget and can do some research.

You may need to clear your primary chakras of harmful electro-magnetic frequencies. If so, go here>

You may be having a problem because you’re not yet fully grounded in the New Paradigm based on Common Ground for the Common Good. Meditate gently on the template below to help yourself get acclimated and aligned with this new mindset.

There might be some kind of karmic entanglement, an emotional conflict or outright danger in your environment. Could any of those issues be present for you right now?

Could you be trying to process somebody else’s emotions?

If so, ask yourself a few pertinent questions:

What would be the purpose in processing someone else’s emotions?

Is continuing to nourish yourself in this way a good idea?

How long has it been going on?

How much damage has been done?

Are you ready and willing to put a stop to it now?

Your Second Chakra could also get blocked if you’re over-indulging in something that’s generally good for you when taken in moderate amounts.

To better determine if something like that is happening with you, experiment with Sloth, one of our favorite Intuitive Learning Circles for slowing down and focusing on what’s really important. Use this medicine to focus in on how you are nourishing yourself.

“I slow down and turn my attention towards my basic needs.”

So, How Are You Currently Seeing Your Needs?

You can use Maslov’s Hierarchy of Needs as a model to help you assess your priorities. Are they in balance?

The triangle may be upside down, distorted or out of focus. The levels could be out of order or a level could be missing entirely. It might not even seem that it fits at all! Use the symbol to the upper right corner of the pyramid to help you set things right.

“I set things right so that how I nourish myself physically and emotionally actually fits my current needs.”

You may need to change some agreements about how you prioritize your needs. For example, you might have an unconscious agreement to sacrifice your health or wellbeing for others. Or, you may have a tendency to cut yourself off from genuinely helpful people and resources. Of course, you may choose to do that. However, it’s a different matter if you’re inadvertently harming yourself against your will! Visualize any agreements that contradict your highest good burning up in a beautiful violet flame.

“I release all agreements to revert back to the past or harmful ways of being.”
“I let go of martyrdom or sacrificing any part of my health or wellbeing.”

“I decide to connect with genuine help and find better ways to take care of myself.”

Make other new agreements that would be helpful to you now…

“It would benefit me to ______________.”

Please note: There have been a lot of changes in the general energy and in how we need to adapt to it. Old ways of functioning are passing out of existence and other, more beneficial ways need to be strengthened. This is a good time to release your agreements with those old ways as well…

“I release all agreements to nourish or support the patriarchal imprint of control, hatred, exploitation and inequality.”

“I decide to strengthen and nourish the Common Good based on Common Ground.”

“I close down harmful energy channels that drain my vitality, like no win situations, assumptions and diminishing returns.”

“My mind and body are open and clear to receive generative life force.”

“I release all agreements to source from or attach to the channel of fear, greed and revenge.”

“I now source from and integrate with Joy and Gratitude.”

Now that you’ve made those updates, you’re ready to continue…

Evaluate How You Are Nourishing Yourself.

Now that your priorities are clearer, you can get more accurate information about how to nourish yourself. If you follow the directions, you can get all kinds of answers that could really help out. All you have to do is relax and gaze softly at the center open space of this Circle while you ask yourself a few questions.

Use a scale of one to ten to evaluate what’s going on (one being lousy and ten being great!). Be sure to listen to your body and be receptive to the answers that come.

Use a scale of “One to Ten”:

“How am I nourishing myself nutritionally? Am I taking in too much of something? Is there something I’m not getting enough of? Is there something I need to put some LIMITATIONS on?

What about how I’m emotionally nourishing myself?

What about nourishing my spiritual connection?

Am I giving myself positive, helpful mental input?

How well am I taking care of my body’s needs for exercise, rest, fresh air?”

Use this Symbol to Consciously Bring in Your Soul’s Unique Energy Signature.

“I relax and align myself with the true signature and imprint of my Soul.”

“I clear away imprints that obscure who I really am, like old graffiti markings.”

“I recognize my true signature, just as I recognize my signature on a document.”

Continue Your Evaluation and Consciously Put Together a New Awareness.

Bring together the puzzle pieces that come directly from your Soul. For help, ask yourself:

“Am I missing anything? What could I really use?”

“What do I need to do to put this all together?”

“What is the best way to proceed?”

Keep crossing and uncrossing your arms or legs until some clear guidance comes. Also, make a note of it so that you don’t forget.

Complete Part One:

Energetically Clear Out Your 2nd Chakra.

Take all the time you need.

“I clear out any unwanted or harmful energies.”

“I give myself an energy boost!”

Connect with New, Life Affirming Channels of Communication.

Install this symbol like a sort of filter for the Second Chakra.

“I adapt to the generative flow of chi’ available
in the New Paradigm to the best of my ability.”

“I close down harmful energy channels from the past.”

“I connect to new, life affirming channels of communication.”

Congratulations! You’ve just set the stage to let go of harmful energies and emotions and begin moving in the direction of NOURISHING yourself appropriately. Be sure to take time to rest and integrate this process. Take a walk or get out into nature if you can!

In this first part, we’ve aimed to clear things up enough for you to get a general picture of how you’re nourishing yourself and what you need to do to improve your experience.

In the Part 2 we’re going to take a look at how some of your projects are nourishing you!

Open Your Heart and Reunite with Nature

How to Open Your Heart with Gifts From the Rainforest ~

There are fifty-eight Intuitive Learning Circles in Gifts from the Rainforest. Each Circle imparts the teaching and healing medicine of its plant, animal or nature spirit.

You can think of them as communication tools to help you access intuition that comes from your Soul.

Gifts from the Rainforest is the foundational guide for the Intuitive Learning Circle method.

Available Soon – Revised Practitioner’s Edition

Making Friends with the Helpers of Physical Manifestation

This Game has three goals:

To open your heart to a method for communicating with nature and your Soul through the Intuitive Learning Circles.
To develop your intuition and ability to look within for answers.
To improve your level of personal power and discernment for living appropriately in the New Paradigm.

Open Your Heart to Reorganize Around the Common Good

In order to adapt to the many changes that are happening in our environment, our minds will have an easier time navigating the journey if we have signs and maps to help us find our way. Navigating life under the guidance of our Soul is the primary purpose of the Intuitive Learning Circles.

A Layout and Foundation for the Common Good

For example, if you meditate on the “map” provided in this image, your mind can get a better grasp of what it can organize around in the New Paradigm we’ve entered and how we might be able to co-create common ground for the common good.

Relax for a minute or two with this template for common ground based on cooperation, joy, equality and balanced prosperity.

If you are able to, go ahead and relax into it to create an imprint. Put your feet on the floor and ground yourself.

Open Your Heart and Reunite with Nature

Within this new terrain, it will be tremendously helpful to develop respectful, reciprocal relationships with the Helpers of Physical Manifestation in Gifts from the Rainforest. This process takes time, trust and a sincere intention to ask for and receive their guidance or medicine.

Each Helper has its own unique medicine, which is explained in the aphorism and “Further Explanation” sections of the post. One Helper might have medicine for dealing with difficult people (for example, Parrot #18), while another might help you to focus better, such as Praying Mantis, #6.

The Helpers are like new friends that can really assist you if you’re willing to slow down, open your heart and get to know them. This Transformation Game will help you to create a healing relationship based on common ground for the common good with whatever Helper you want to get to know next.

Open Your Heart

Begin by going to Old Sol #49 and reading its message.

Through this Circle, symbolized by the Sun, you can connect with your Higher Self. All the other Intuitive Learning Circles only work through your Higher Self or Soul in order to avoid false guidance.

You will be using “Old Sol” to tell you which Helper would be good to get to know next. You can also use it to confirm guidance that you get or formulate questions and intentions that are important to you.

The next step is to gaze softly at the Circle itself and take several relaxing breaths. It doesn’t really matter what part of the image you’re looking at and it isn’t necessary to figure out what the lines or circles do. Just let your intuition guide you.

If you find yourself criticizing or doubting yourself, that’s your critical mind trying to take over and control your thinking. Just set it aside and bring your attention back towards opening your heart.

Now that you’ve read the directions, it’s time to ask your first question. Look at the Circle and ask your heart:

“Is there an issue or situation that I could use some guidance with right now?”

Answers may come in the form of words, a symbol, an impression or a feeling. What ever comes to you, write it down, even if it doesn’t seem to make sense at first.

Also, it’s important to take the the time to include your heart center and listen to it. If you’re all up in your head, chasing after thoughts, that’s not really intuition. Gently bring your attention down into your heart area, slow down and listen for quiet, heart centered messages.

Once you have an issue, ask Old Sol for a number between one and fifty-eight and take the very first number that comes to you. The number you come up with is the number of the Helper and Circle that you most need to make friends with right now.

What number between 1 – 58 does your Soul want you open your heart to?

Write the number down, go to that Helper in your copy or the online book and read about its medicine. Notice if there are any messages that stick out to you.

Next, gaze softly at the Circle (both crossed and uncrossed) and relax. Breathe deeply a few times. Imagine your mind can gather up all the unconscious information it has about this medicine. Now you’re ready to go through the series of Circles in the first section of the game.

Mind Body Integration

For best results playing a Transformation Game, look at each Circle both crossed over the midline of the body and uncrossed so that the correction is more complete.

If your mind goes blank, go here to clear the blockage.

Section One: Open Your Heart and Clear Obstacles to Communication

1. Earth ~ Our early life conditioning is often the biggest obstacle to spiritual connection and guidance. Gaze at the Earth Circle with soft eyes and breathe deeply with each affirmation:

“In accordance with my highest good…

… I unearth all harmful societal / tribal conditioning that prevents me from connecting with my Higher Self through my heart.”

“I uproot all harmful conditioning that would prevent me from making friends with the _________ Helper I have chosen.”

“I disentangle from all tribal conditioning based on ignorance or harm that would block clear and cooperative communication.”

2. Seed #37~ Pretend this Circle is like a communication device. You ask it a question and an answer comes back to you in the form of words, an image, a feeling or a symbol.

This is how you can use the Circles and their Helpers to communicate intuitively with your Soul or Higher Self. Try it out by asking the Seed Helper:

“What is preventing me from following the true guidance of the __________ Helper?”

Make a note of your answers. At this point the answer(s) may or may not make sense to you yet, so just write them down and continue.

3. Alligator #3 ~ Now it’s time to discover thought processes, emotions or behaviors that are preventing a helpful connection with your chosen Helper. Look into the Intuitive Learning Circle for Alligator and ask the following questions one at a time:

“Can I tell what the problem is?”

“Is it about a behavior? A habit? An attitude?”

“Is it emotional? Conceptual?”

“Is it a blockage in how I’m interacting with my environment?”

“Is it a misunderstanding about how I’m using my energy?”

“Is it an attachment or entanglement?”

“Is there more than one thing preventing clear communication? If so, what are they?”

“Am I perceiving this situation correctly and truthfully?”

4. Divine Protection ~ Recalibrate your energy to adjust to the new generative flow of life force based on the Air element. As you gaze at the symbol, allow your breathing to become lighter and easier. This chi’ moves quicker and you don’t need to work as hard as you used to in order to accomplish something. Imagine you can use this symbol as a filter for interacting with your chosen Helper more effectively.

“I am open and clear to utilize generative life force.”

Bring your awareness to the center black circle. What do you think is blocking open communication? Whatever comes to you, write it down because that phrase or idea has important information that could help you understand more about what you need to do to help yourself.

Once you’ve done that, look at the Circle and ask your heart:

“How would my life be better if I were friends with the ________ Helper I have chosen?”

Again, write your answer down.

The Importance of Soul Contracts

5. Raccoon #11 ~ Raccoon is the primary animal totem that handles Soul Contracts which are agreements you’ve made on a Soul level to help you experience who you are more deeply. When you have completed the karma of a particular experience, you can move on to other experiences. However, your nervous system will keep repeating the feedback loop for that karma until you have consciously released the contract and integrated the lesson into your consciousness.

Raccoon Medicine bypasses your critical mind and goes directly into the nervous system to release completed contracts. As you look at Raccoon’s Circle, relax into your spine. Go through this list of potential agreements that might get in the way of truthful communication and genuine help:

A. “I release all agreements, contracts, allegiances, obligations or vows that prevent me from communicating clearly with my Higher Self and receiving help.”

B. “I release all agreements, contracts, allegiances, obligations or vows that prevent me from communicating clearly and receiving help from the true spirit of the __________ Helper.”

C. “I release all agreements to put up with disorder, lies, deception, hostility or _____________.”

D. “I release all agreements, contracts, allegiances, obligations or vows that prevent me from benefiting from and utilizing the medicine of the _________ Helper.”

Releasing contracts and agreements of this kind significantly loosens the grip that the ego has on your mind, body and spirit. Energy can begin to move differently for you now and negative patterns are more easily changed to benefit you.

Clear your energy of entanglements and destructive toxins:

Continue breathing while you use this Soul Star Detachment Key to relax and mend any energetic wounds that are associated with negative attachments or toxins.

Like a healing balm, imagine that a loving coat of peace and comfort is pouring down over you.

“My energy system can easily and effectively, neutralize and detach from interfering energies.”

Relax and sense your overall energy. If it feels stuck or sluggish, stay with the Key until the energy lets go and smooths out.

Congratulations! Going through the first section of this game has helped you to release attitudes, behaviors and beliefs that are getting in the way of good guidance that comes through your Soul. When you are ready, go through Section Two below, where you will reconnect with essential components of your personal power and effectively redirect your energy and attention towards positive and life affirming ways of being.

Section Two – Open Your Heart to Receive True Help and Guidance

This part of the game uses charts from Soul Prayer Charts, the companion piece to Gifts from the Rainforest.

Use Soul Prayer Chart #13 for Divine Connection to help you.

“My Heart is open. My Soul is in charge and I am empowered to connect through joy and gratitude to this Helper.”

“I ask for and receive help from the
___________ Helper and its medicine.”

“I am empowered to co-create a New Paradigm –
based on common ground for the common good.”

Smooth Out Your Energy: You might be experiencing difficulty adjusting to all the significant environmental changes that are ongoing. Sudden reversals, blockages and changes in momentum can cause your 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? If so, relax with it for a few minutes until things smooth out.

“Jagged, disjointed glitches in my sensory system are being repaired.”

“All shut downs and reversals are gently corrected.”

Continue crossing and uncrossing over the midline of your body until you can feel the unique energy of your Soul coming through.

Set Things Right: If needed, use the To Each Their Own symbol which will help you sort out emotions, karma and other issues that don’t belong with you and reclaim the things that do.

As you look at the chart, first visualize sending back other people’s issues and energies that may have attached to you for any reason. Return them to where ever they belong – through the Light – thus “setting things right.” Be sure to do that freely, with a sense of forgiveness.

“I send issues, emotions, karma and energies
to wherever they need to go to heal.”

Once you’ve returned what needs to be returned, relax and let the symbol help you reclaim whatever belongs with you, for example, your own gifts, talents or karma and intentions. Ask your Soul to position them correctly so they can either be cleared or utilized to benefit you.

“I reclaim my own issues, energies and karma
so that I may handle them in accordance with my highest good.”

Dissolve Destructive Blueprints: Now it’s time to dissolve mental and emotional patterns that keep you at odds with yourself and your new friend. Use this symbol for dissolving destructive blueprints to identify and disperse any harmful personal, societal or familial patterns that have come up in this process. See them disappear like old cloud banks dissolving into pure sunlight:

“I release into the Light all destructive patterns that keep me from reuniting with Nature.”

“I dissolve all pathways that keep me connected to harmful patterns.
I surrender them to the Light completely – and with Forgiveness.”

Please note: Never send destructive energies into the Earth, she already has too much to handle now. Use the Earth for planting seeds of health, happiness and life – not illness, unhappiness and death!

Closure and Completion: Once the patterns are cleared, give your heart and Soul some relief through closure.

“All doors that lead back to guilt, blame, abuse and suffering are sealed and healed. I follow the direction of my Soul’s intention.”

Finish by closing down any harmful energy drains from the past. An energy drain could be anything – a false belief, an outdated plan or some kind of individual or collective behavior that drains your life force. Use Fly Medicine to visualize the drain(s) deconstructing and closing down.

“I deconstruct old behaviors and shut down any drains to my energy.”

Once they are closed down, use the Circle to find where the voids are and fill them with loving, life affirming energy!

“I fill in the leftover void with healthy, life affirming energy.”

Excellent! When you open your heart and reunite with Nature, you are accessing communication with your Soul that offers profound truth and transformation.

Access Generative Flow: Now is a good time to confirm that you’ve closed down old energy and communication channels from the malaise left over from the Piscean Age. Gaze softly at Divine Protection and allow it to help you get centered. Then, when you’re ready, bring your attention back into your Heart Center and let it integrate.

“I surrender to the help and protection of my Inner Guidance.”

“My Heart and mind is open to receive generative life force.”

“I connect to the new communication channels available in the Aquarian Age.”

Keep breathing with the awareness that this new chi’ is much lighter and quicker than what we were used to in the Piscean Age. It will take some time to adjust!

Ground in the New Paradigm: Once you feel your energy has stabilized, ask about your relationship to the map for common good and common ground in the New Paradigm.

Are you gaining familiarity with this new template?

Does your Soul approve of what this map can open up for you?
Is there a place for you there and a path for you to move forward in a positive way?
Do you have a working agreement with this Helper for creating common ground for the Common good?
How do the Helpers feel about their relationship with you now?

Do you have other, related questions you would like to ask? Go ahead and ask them. Place your feet on the floor again and get grounded.

Finish the Game with Your New Friend ~

Now you can test how well this game has opened up your relationship with your Helper. Go to the Helper that you chose and think about the issue or problem that you wrote down at the beginning of the game. Come up with a simple question, like:

“How has my perception changed?”
or
“How can we work together to create the common good?”

Look at the Circle for your Helper and ask it. What answer(s) do you get? Write them down and follow through if needed.

Tips for asking the totems questions and receiving guidance:

• Keep your questions simple and about one thing at a time.

• If you don’t get an answer, it may mean that your mind is fixated on a person, an event or something from the past. Mental fixations usually happen because of some kind of emotional or spiritual trauma. If that happens, go to Condor #32, and let its medicine help you to release the fixation. You will know the fixation is cleared when you can come up with an answer to your question.

• Once you have an answer to your first question, do you have other, related questions you can ask? Go ahead and ask them.

• Once you’ve finished, put the book aside. Now is a good time to rest, get out into nature, take a walk or otherwise refresh yourself. Allow the answer to percolate while you’re doing something else.

• For optimum results, go through both sections of this game with Old Sol #49 first, because your relationship with your Higher Self is of primary importance. After that, play the game for Animal Spirits #1 and Plant Spirits #36.

• After playing the game, spend the next week or so asking for guidance and help from the totem on a regular basis.

• If you are a practitioner and are planning to use Gifts from the Rainforest with others, ask questions about how you can use the totem’s medicine to help your clients and what will help you to be more receptive to its guidance.

• If you are a teacher, counselor or in a position to guide others, ask your Higher Self, through Old Sol #49 for protection, help and guidance. Ask for a symbol or sign that affirms you are on the right track.

Congratulations! If you are sincere in your requests and willing to follow through on the guidance you’re given, be prepared for increased dream activity, creative inspiration and opportunities for manifesting the common good!

Self Love: A Quiz on Self-care

Are You Showing Up For Yourself? A Self Love Quiz & Self-care Alignment

The world is filled with advice about how to do this and that. How to find love… how to be happy… what you need to wear… how you need to look. The advertising in the media has an agenda and unconsciously you know what it is: “You’re not good enough as you are – buy our product and you will instantly be fixed!”

Your own mind may be constantly fussing about the past – what you did or didn’t do – or you may be worrying about the future. Especially lately, it’s all too easy to get caught up in external dramas and ignore how important it is to stay grounded and keep our minds calm.

In times like this it’s obvious that what most people really need and want is love. But how can we get there? The way that seems to work best is to remind ourselves through self love. Unfortunately, we often forget to show up for ourselves and in the process, we miss out on what we want the most!

You can take this short self love quiz that uses Angelic guidance and your Essential Self to help remind you that you are a being of Love.

All you need to do is gaze softly at each symbol while you read the affirmation or question that goes with it.

Begin by Asking for Help from Angelic Beings of Light.

Imagine that you can ask them: “Please, help me slow down and understand how to love myself better…

Am I showing up for myself?”

The answer you get may be “yes,” “no,” “sometimes” or “not lately.”

Continue your inquiry using this Mandala from Kuan Yin to help you access truthful information:

“Do I often show up more for others than I do for myself?”

“Do I easily get caught up in deceit, dramas and confusion?”

“Do I include myself in the equation of creating Love?”

“If I show up more for others than myself a lot, what is my purpose in doing so?

If I get caught up in deceit, dramas and confusion a lot, what is my purpose in doing that?”

“Am I doubling down on harmful habits or mistaken ideas? Is that helping me? How much energy do I use doing these things?

Is that really the best thing for everyone in the long run?”

Are you ready to realign your energy to include what’s best for you? If so, that is self love! Ask your angels to help you fill your Self with strength and courage to love yourself better. Imagine that with every breath, you are filling up with love and light. Here’s a couple of positive affirmations that could help:

“I am important. When I am grounded and love myself, I am grounding Love on the planet.”

With this Reiki Chakra Key, become aware of your solar plexus – the soft area in front just below where your ribs go up.

This is the area where your Essential Self is properly positioned.

In stressful times, it’s pretty common for the Essential Self to get closed off, misplaced or dissociated.

Gazing gently at the Key will help your Essence get re-connected, centered and balanced.

See if you can relax that area and allow positive energy to flow into it with this affirmation:

“I am present and included in the equation of creating Love.”

If you do Reiki, you can send it right to your solar plexus.

If there are aspects of your Essential Self that aren’t present, ask for numbers between 1 – 42 from The Essential Self to call them back and center them in your Solar Plexus Chakra.

Now gently look at this symbol and ask your Essential Self:

“Is there something I need to think, do, change or have that would help me to attract more love into my life?”

Whatever your answer to that question is, imagine that you can connect with that truth – like the lines that are connecting in with the center of this symbol for Divine Connection:

“I connect my Essence with truthful channels of communication.”

“I have protection. Harmful energy channels from the past are closing down.”

Are there any remaining blockages? If so, ask if any numbers between 1 – 73 from Divine Nature Activated would help to clear them.

“I clear away epigenetic patterns that block my experience of Self Love.”

Now you can redirect how you’re using your energy. These positive affirmations will help you:

“I am ready and able to receive the Love that emanates from my Soul.

I am a being of Love. I am part of the equation. I am part of the solution.

I allow myself to receive the benefits of sending Love out into the world.”

If you are a member of our learning community, you might want to get extra assistance from Gifts from the Rainforest. If that’s the case, choose a number between 1 – 58 and click through to get guidance from that plant, animal or nature medicine.

Sit back and relax a moment – allow yourself to receive what you need most. Imagine what it would feel like if you allowed Love to move freely through your being – through your life – like a gentle wind. Let your Essential Self daydream as long as you want.

Now imagine that your Angels are surrounding you with courage, strength and determination to be the very best that you can be!

Finish your self love quiz by imagining you’re facing the Sun and radiating the benefit of its life-giving, positive rays.

“I decide to follow my Inner Light and Divine Guidance.”

Finish by making sure that your auras are strong and focused.

“My auric field is strong and organized to radiate self-love and ________.”

Now you’re ready to ask questions again:

“Am I showing up for myself?

Do I Love who I am? Am I receiving Love?

Am I able to radiate Love out into the world?”

If the answer is “yes,” congratulations…

If the answer is “sometimes,” you’re making progress…

If the answer is “no,” decide to begin today. It’s never too late!

Developing Precognition

Could You Be Stepping Into Danger or Taking the Hit for Someone Else? Developing Precognition Will Help You to Stay Out of Trouble.

The Intuitive Learning Circles are great at developing precognition, bringing intuitive hits, hunches and other unconscious information up to the surface to be examined more closely. Especially if you have learning difficulties or your inner guidance is blocked for some reason. That’s why I’m sharing this Mind Exercise from Intuitive Learning in the New Paradigm. By playing, you’ll have the opportunity to engage your imagination and shed some light on potential situations where you might be better off staying out of the way!

If you’ve ever stepped into a compromising situation or gotten caught in the middle of a fight between people, you know what it feels like to suddenly find yourself caught in the middle of a “no-win” situation. It feels horrible! Especially for highly sensitive people, who often find themselves in the middle of highly charged, emotional conflicts.

“If only I knew beforehand or had some kind of “spidey sense” that there was going to be a problem, I wouldn’t have even shown up!”

But wait. That’s not really so far out of the realm of possibilities. It’s called developing precognition or as I like to say, listening to your intuitive hit.

Clearing the Way for Making Smart Decisions

Use Your Inner Guidance and Gut Instincts to Get Out of the Way and Learn How to Be in the Right Place at the Right Time.

You’ve probably had an experience of knowing that it just felt wrong to go to a certain place at a certain time. Then later, you find out that you were right. Something unfortunate happened in that very same place around that time! That’s your precognition at work and it’s a darn useful skill to have, especially now, when times are so unstable and chaotic.

In the old paradigm based on greed and elitism, it’s been commonplace for people to try to control things by invading other people’s space or interfering with important personal projects or relationships. This can happen on a physical level, but it can also happen on an emotional/mental level, which often causes emotional shock that sits frozen under the surface of our awareness. We have expressions for when these kinds of manipulations happen. “Get out of my space,” or “stop playing mind games with me,” are just a few. Unfortunately, when this happens, emotions can easily escalate out of control and our normal awareness of danger can get blocked!

Developing precognition through accurate intuition is one way to help you keep your mind on your own business and protect yourself from dangerous situations.

Preparations for Developing Precognition

Begin by activating your five senses so that your intuition can come forward and give you the help that you seek. You can use these affirmations:

“I reclaim and reconnect with my senses.”

“I clear them up so that I can accurately sense my environment.”

“I use them to sense what will keep me safe, productive and well.”

“I become aware if I’m intruding on other people’s business.”

“I can clearly sense what will help me to _______________.”

Next, gaze softly at this Circle to help you gently release any shock that might be under the surface for you. Imagine the lines are getting all wavy and loose.

Give yourself more help by making repairs to any chakras that might have been affected by all the chaotic energies in the environment.

“I smooth out any jagged energies, addictions, viruses, reversals or blockages in my field.”

Use this next Circle to help you develop precognition in your current situation by tapping into your unconscious mind. Gaze softly at this Circle and ask yourself:

“Is there a situation coming up where I need to get out of the way?”

“Is there a situation where someone is getting in my way or blocking what I need to do?”

Be patient and relax into your body. The Circle is helping you focus in on pertinent unconscious information. Your answer could come in the form of a feeling, an image, words or a combination of them all.

Let’s get some more information…

Sometimes we’re empathically picking up on someone else’s situation.
Could that be happening in this case?

If so, is there any shared karma? Have you let your protection down?
Do you need to pull your energy back and re-establish protection?

Is there an action you’re thinking about taking that isn’t in your best interests? Do you need increased awareness to take that action?

If the answer you get is “no”, count yourself lucky and keep up the good work staying out of trouble!

If the answer is “yes” or “maybe,” keep going with this exercise to find out more about what’s going on and what you can do about it.

Continue the Mind Exercise for Developing Precognition

1. Slow down and ask for more information about what’s really going on. Use your imagination and see the landscape of your mind slowing down too. Things may simply be moving too fast for you to get out of the way when trouble is about to happen.

2. When things are chaotic or moving too fast, it’s easy to get distracted and fall into scams, traps and deceptive mind games. Plus, people are more likely to be mixed up in situations where they really don’t belong. Use this Reiki Chakra Key to open your Third Eye to intuition and common sense. You can use these positive affirmations to help:

“I open my Third Eye and let it balance.
I use it to separate what’s true from what’s a distraction or all-out lie.”

Being in the Wrong Place at the Wrong Time

3. Remember the relationship or situation where you think there might be a problem. While you think about it, gaze at this Circle and ask your gut a couple of simple “yes” or “no” questions:

“What is the situation? Is there any danger in it?”

Once you find the situation, ask yourself:
“What is the danger here? Can I tell how I’m participating in the situation?
Is there an important reason why I’m participating or considering doing this? Is it worth it to put myself in this situation?”

“Am I placing my hopes into something that isn’t in my best interests?”
What does my inner guidance say about this?

4. Continue your self-inquiry:

“Would I be pulled off track or doing harm to myself? Would my projects be harmed? My loved ones? If so, what is the problem?”

It could be timing, placement, priorities, a belief, an agreement, a habit or something else…

Take your time to get as much information as you can.

5. Would being in this situation have a negative effect on your boundaries? Your prosperity? Your health or well-being? In what way?

6. Sometimes, how people see you can be a source of the problem. People often project what’s going on within themselves onto other people. Check in with this Circle to see if anything like that could be involved. Note – what’s being projected onto you could be either unflattering, flattering or both!

“In this situation, am I being projected on?”

So, now you have a lot more information to work with as you decide what to do!

7. What is the best thing to do in this case? If you need to move out of the way, see yourself doing that in your minds eye. If you need to let go or say “no”, see yourself doing that. Whatever message you get, see yourself taking your own advice.

“What do I need to do?”

Finish this part of Developing Precognition with these affirmations:

“I resolve to be in the right place at the right time for my highest good.”

“I stay out of trouble and follow through on my true priorities.”

“I close the doors on old habits, distractions or misconceptions.”

“I follow the direction of my Soul’s protection.”

Congratulations!

Take a moment to thank yourself for Developing Precognition, a gift that will save you a lot of time and grief in the long run! 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.

Once you’re clearer about your situation, you may want to go through one of these two strengthening exercises, depending on what your concern is:

1. Standing Strong and Grounding in the Truth.
2. Separate from Negativity and Develop Healthy Boundaries.

Navigate Your Karma

Navigate Your Karma: Understanding How the Root Cause is the Answer to Resolution ~ with Rheanni Lightwater

Your Root Chakra Is Deeply Connected to Personal and Collective Karma that Influences your Physical Conditions.

Your chakras are part of how you use your energy to manifest your goals and your root energy provides a foundation for your basic physiological and biological needs. This includes your needs for air, food (nourishment), water, shelter, warmth, sex, sleep and method(s) of communication. This exercise is designed to help you navigate your karma, especially around these basic needs by gently reprogramming your Root Chakra.

In these exercises, what is meant by “karma”?

Being human at this time and on this planet is your karma (as well as mine) and we share that karma collectively. In my experience, the most useful explanation of karma is simply the physical and spiritual law of cause and effect. “For every action, there is a reaction.” “What I put out comes back to me.”

Karma = thoughts, decisions and actions that you’ve followed through on.

Whenever you have a thought, decide to follow through on it and then take action, you have created karma. As far as the Cosmos is concerned, there is no judgement about it or suffering assigned to it, only consequences. In other words, for anything that’s put into motion, there will be some kind of effect.

Let’s use the example of your birth. Certain thoughts, decisions and actions your grandparents took caused them to create the circumstances for your parents to conceive you. Congratulations, you incarnated! Your karmic seeds for being a human have ripened, for better or for worse! That goes for me too, both good and bad, or as I like to put it – preferred and unpreferred.

There is always a mixture of preferred and unpreferred karma. It’s never all bad or all good. Even the terms “good” and “bad” are only relevant to your goals and point of view. You may say that your job situation is bad karma, yet to another person, having any job at all could be seen as good karma to them. The individual’s perspective makes all the difference.

Timing and circumstances are also important considerations. For example, you may see that new car as good karma today and tomorrow you get into a bad accident by driving too fast in it. Is it “good,” “bad,” a punishment? No, simply the natural consequences of actions you’ve taken. However, if you decide that it’s a punishment and then you act on that decision, you are technically creating the karma for “punishment.” The Cosmos is neutral, but you have condemned yourself.

Now, let’s say you decide to deny your responsibility for your part in that accident and continue to lie to yourself about it, a karmic pattern begins to form (or continues). Denial only plants the karmic seeds for more denial and lies which then leads to punishment, then more denial, which then creates more lies… and so it goes – on and on and on. In Buddhism, it’s called samsara – the cycle of suffering.

The Way Out – You Can Navigate Your Karma by Setting It Right.

Situations are neutral and more often than not, our unpreferred situations actually can help us to learn and propel us further on our spiritual journey.

Another more poignant example is our karma as it pertains to something collective, like the coronavirus. The overall atmosphere of the pandemic and its accompanying financial upheaval has undeniably been a group experience and therefore a clearcut example of collective cause and effect.

Yet the disruption provides valuable experience as it assists us in understanding why we need to deal with social injustice or climate change. We might also discover ways to create more preferred financial structures or ways to live and communicate more peacefully.

How can we navigate our karma as individuals in the midst of this collective karma?

There are many choices people made during the pandemic and subsequent consequences. Some people made a decision to ignore safety recommendations and follow through by going out without protection. “I went out. I got sick. I should have listened!” Some went out and had little or no immediately perceivable consequences. “I went out. I didn’t catch the virus. I’m all that.” Others might have done everything right and still have a terrible time. “I did everything right. I still got the virus. Why am being punished?”

The structures of the status quo tell us that we are “sinners” and that we need to be obedient to an angry, male god. However, the Cosmos is neutral. We are really our own judge and jury. Our perception and what ideas we buy into are the key factors for how we either resolve the karma or intensify it.

So here we all are, sitting in the middle of our collective karma. What’s the best thing to do? For me, the initial answer is to come clean with it. Accept my part in what’s happening and learn from it. Be open to more life-affirming thoughts and decisions and then take action on them.

Sounds simple, yet so very difficult. After all, there are those pesky consequences to consider!

Here’s what I do, and it seems to work pretty well. I offer it up for your consideration:

I accept what’s happening and how I feel about it (personal responsibility).
I become open to new thoughts about hope and forgiving myself.
I gather my courage and awareness to make a new decision based on what I would now prefer to experience.
I take action on steps 1, 2 and 3 with care and patient consideration.

If you find all this interesting and would like to explore it further, you’re invited to go this Mind Exercise using the Intuitive Learning Circles…

Navigate Your Karma by Taking Care of the Root Cause

Let’s begin by changing our agreements around punishment and being so very black and white, good and bad about everything. Your nervous system holds the energy of those agreements. To let go, start at the bottom of the line and the bottom of your spine. Imagine you can get to the root cause of the very first agreements you made about punishment. As you move up, you can imagine locks unlocking – each vertebrae is being freed from the chains of outdated, oppressive agreements. Go up all the way up to the top of your spine.

“I release my agreement with being a”bad” person. I forgive myself completely.”

“I let go of any agreements I have that karma is ‘bad’ or ‘good’.”

“I surrender other people’s decisions about what’s right or wrong.”

“I give up shame, blame and punishment.”

“I release the stress of all that judgement and let myself off the hook.”

“I decide that karma is neutral. It’s what I decide about it and do with it that matters.”

“I decide to accept what’s happening and learn more life-affirming ways of being, based on what’s needed now.”

“I decide that I’m safe and _____________.”

What other agreements would you like to change?

Consider a current experience you’re having that you would like to navigate differently. One experience might be your fears around astrological events such as Mercury in Retrograde. This regular occurrence is often collectively thought of as “bad” where negative experiences and breakdowns in communication happen more often.

Take a few minutes with this next Circle to turn down the volume and pay attention to how you’re perceiving your current situation.

Once you’ve calmed down, ask yourself:

What karmic experience is a concern to me right now? How am I perceiving the situation?

Is there any opportunity to perceive it differently?

What are my fears?

Am I present in my body?”

Note: You may want to go back and renegotiate some more agreements…

It’s important that you be fully present to make effective corrections.

Continue to relax and let your 3rd Chakra get connected, open and balanced at your solar plexus (the area where your ribs go up in the front).

Your Essential Self is the embodiment of your instinctual nature and the keeper of your personal energy. It’s most efficiently located in the 3rd Chakra to help you manifest, create happiness and maintain health.

In times when you’re experiencing unpreferred Karma, it’s pretty common for the Essential Self to go into a fight or flight response. It may get angry and resist or it could run away, go into hiding or even dissociate. Are you experiencing one of those responses now?

Remind your Essence that you have given up punishment, that it is safe and that you have completely forgiven yourself.

“I decide to stay present, in my body, even when I am afraid.”

Imagine that you can pull yourself back into your center. You can return from places where you are still stuck in fight or flight or “punishment.”

Next, decide to utilize life affirming ingredients to create more preferred life affirming experiences.

“I decide to utilize life affirming thoughts, words, decisions and actions to create my experience.”

“I decide that I will clear life destructive patterns of karma and set them right.”
“My actions are life affirming.”

Integrate Divine Protection into your Root Energy.

“I close down harmful energy channels.”
“My mind and body are open to receive generative life force.”

“I connect with life affirming communications.”

Now, turn your attention to your Root Chakra at the base of your pelvis to check out the energy there. It may feel stuck, detached, wobbly, reversed or clogged. If that’s the case, don’t worry! You can clear it through your intention and attention with the help of the next few Circles…

It helps to imagine the Root Chakra as a brilliant, red vibration swirling in a clockwise direction. Breathe deeply and let this Reiki Star raise your vibration there.

Feel free to move at any time in any way to embody your experience. Take all the time you need to do that.

Repair any damage or reversals in your Root Chakra.
Parts of your subtle energy system might be shut down entirely.
Allow this symbol help you make corrections. If your energy feels jagged or disjointed, stay with the Key until the energy smooths out.

“I repair the glitches, holes and blockages in my energy system.”
“All shut downs and reversals are gently corrected.”

If you need to, go back to the Red Reiki Star and raise your vibration some more. Continue until you can begin to feel the energy of your Soul coming through.

Make room for Joy
Visualize the energy of Joy being placed in the center of your Root Chakra.
Let a joyful, life affirming foundation replace the old, collective foundation of sin, punishment and burden!

This foundation is becoming a base for new preferred decisions and life affirming karmic flow.

Now meditate on the Earth Chakra located just below your feet.

Establish your personal healing connection with Mother Earth.
When you’re ready, visualize the energy of the Earth Chakra connecting with your Root Chakra. Let this connection bring strength, hope and positive grounding.

Note: You may need to return to the Root Chakra to strengthen your connection.

Clear a space for preferred karma to be planted within the Self.

Like clearing a field before planting, use this symbol to dissolve destructive mental and emotional patterns. Visualize letting go of all the punishment, guilt, shame and fight or flight responses you may be holding. See those karmic patterns like dark clouds that you can dissipate into sunlight and clear blue skies.
“I dissolve destructive patterns that interfere with my health and happiness
and send them to the Light to be purified.”

Notice how much more aware you are about how your health and happiness is deeply interconnected with the health and happiness of others.

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!

Take some time to close any pathways that lead back to punishment, suffering or other people’s karma.

All holes are sealed and healed.
I follow the direction of my Soul’s protection.”

“I’m learning to recognize how spirit guides me through events.

Finish by Checking Back Into How You’re Perceiving Your Situation.

Breathe and balance out your senses again. Once you’re ready, ask:

“What is the karmic experience I’m concerned about again?

How am I perceiving the situation now?

What are my fears?

Am I present in my body?”

Note: You may want to go back and renegotiate some more agreements…

Congratulations!

Now that you’ve opened up to more productive ways to navigate your karma, you have the opportunity to experience life in a whole, new way!
