SOS – Overwhelm Help

If you are confused, feeling out of balance or in need of overwhelm help – Welcome! You are in the right place! 

 

SOS for PTSD and Self-care

SOS offers support for your inner journey…

What are the main reasons a person may need overwhelm help?

The first reason would be that there’s simply too much information coming at the person and their mind is not able to filter priorities properly.

Overwhelm Help #1 - Too much information

The second reason would be that the person has placed too much of their  attention and energy on a certain problem or goal that is unrealistic or cannot be accomplished under the current circumstances.

Overwhelm Help #2 - Unrealistic expectations

The third reason why a person could need overwhelm help would be that the way forward has become obscured. The circumstances are dark, dim, unclear or hard to understand.

Overwhelm Help #3 - Future is unclear

The fourth reason could be that the environment has become too toxic or chaotic for a person to be able to cope in the way that they normally would.

Overwhelm Help #4 - Toxic, chaotic environment

All of these reasons have a negative effect on your physical health and can put stress on your mental / emotional health as well.

Unfortunately, people are becoming more and more overwhelmed by sudden emotional or environmental changes, toxic entanglements or triggered PTSD episodes.

A person needing overwhelm help could experience:

  • Sudden and extreme exhaustion.
  • Fight or flight panic attacks.
  • Unexplained feelings of emergency; anxiety, depression and fear.
  • Increased irritation and susceptibility to illnesses, viruses or colds.

It’s not a good idea to remain in a fight or flight state for long. When a person is in a chronic state of overwhelm, the stage is set for depression, illness or paranoia to set in. If these symptoms are already present, the person may experience an overload or energy collapse.

The self-care formulas from SOS Soul Oriented Solutions gently interrupt
unhealthy brain activity and then replace it with constructive thoughts and energy flow.

Connecting with Hope

They are simple and easy to follow by design. When going through a formula, think of it as being gently led from a dark place into the light where you can connect with Hope. 

The Intuitive Learning Circles stimulate the central nervous system in order to assist it in its natural healing process of expelling trauma and the stuck energy that surrounds it. Using SOS as a daily practice is a powerful form of self-healing with affirmations where you can easily slow down, communicate with your unconscious and reorganize how you’re taking care of yourself.

SOS Overwhelm Help offers you support at any time
of the day or night ~

Fortunately, the five Self-care Formulas listed below are designed to help “reboot” your energy and put you back in balance when you’re feeling overwhelmed. Taking a few minutes to go through the appropriate formula will give a person immediate help for coping with emotional stress.

Introducing the SOS Symbol ~

SOS - Soul Oriented SolutionsSOS stands for Soul Oriented Solutions. The SOS symbol itself helps you tap into your Soul and get unconscious information about what is causing imbalance in you. 

The SOS symbol and formulas have been helping the public since Hurricane Katrina. Please SHARE with anyone you feel could benefit.

Directions:

Since the Intuitive Learning Circles are all about self-discovery and learning to use your intuition, it makes sense to use a simple and natural way to decide – using your intuition!

Below there’s a list of the Self-care Formulas numbered 1 – 5.
Take a moment and think about what’s going on for you and then gently gaze at the SOS symbol. Relax for a moment or two.
When you’re ready, let the SOS symbol help you access a simple “yes” or “no” answer to this question:

“Am I overwhelmed or experiencing an energy overload?

SOS - Soul Oriented Solutions

Helpful Tips

It’s important to take plenty of time with each question and continually breathe with full breaths. Shallow breathing inhibits the healing process and taking plenty of time counteracts the feeling of emergency.

In just a few minutes a person can get reconnected so that their energy feels balanced again. Cognitive function improves, negativity is dispelled and hope can return!

Whether you are living with someone who has PTSD or suffer from it yourself, these five formulas are powerful tools to keep handy.

Mosquito Medicine

Turn off the Buzzing with Mosquito Medicine

Self-care and Personal Growth through Gifts from the Rainforest

Mosquito Medicine
#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.

For best results, gaze softly at the Circle both crossed over the midline of the body and uncrossed so that the communication is more complete.

Intuitive Learning Circles help you access your inner guidance and self-confidence to make proactive changes. Simply relax and gaze at the Circles while contemplating its message and positive affirmations. Your intuition will come forward and give you the help that you seek.

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.

Fly Medicine | Intuitive Guidance

Close the Drains to Negativity with Fly Medicine ~

Self-care and Personal Growth through Gifts from the Rainforest:

Fly Medicine - Animal Totems

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.

Further Exploration into Fly Medicine:

Fly Medicine - Animal Totems
Fly Medicine

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!

Raven Medicine

How to Prosper with Raven Medicine ~

Self-care and Personal Growth through Gifts from the Rainforest:

Animal Totems - Raven Medicine

4. Raven – When Raven shows up, you know that something internally has either changed, is changing or needs to change. Engaging with change consciously supports the core of your integrity and wellbeing.

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 - Animal Totems
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.

Self-care for Loss In Uncertain Times

Soul Oriented Solutions: A Gentle Meditation about Emotional Stress and Self-care for Loss ~

Many people are experiencing deep levels of anxiousness, distress and fear around our current situation due to a variety of events. These feelings can come on suddenly and be very overwhelming. You might have lost a relative, a job or an important friendship. You could be facing a health challenge or even a loss in your purpose and sense of self.

Self-care for LossOr, you may be sitting on the sidelines, watching someone you love suffer while you feel at a loss for something helpful to do. In situations like these, it can take a while to regain your balance. What are some ways to provide self-care for loss and bring some level of emotional relief?

If you can find a way to tune into your deepest resources, you’ll discover that you’re never completely alone, even in your darkest hours.

Rheanni Lightwater CHT, CKP Self-care for LossSOS - Self-care for LossTo help out, I’d like to share this self-care formula that uses positive affirmations and the Intuitive Learning Circles. You can use it whenever you are:

  • Asking for help in a difficult situation
  • Stressed over a lost job or income
  • Grieving a loss of any kind
  • Feeling pulled into a negative state of mind
  • Recovering from an abusive experience – past or present
  • Dealing with a serious or long-term illness
  • Preparing for an arduous challenge or surgery
  • Coming to terms with tragedy, loss or death.

Here’s a short example of how the Circles can prepare you to restore balance.

Simply gaze softly at the image while you contemplate the positive affirmations that go with it for for a minute or so. Relax and breathe:

“I bring my senses into balance.”

“I focus them so to help me be calmer, more present and aware of what’s important.”

“I use my senses to be more aware of where I am and what I’m doing.”

“I focus on thoughts and actions that are genuinely helpful and productive.”

 

Next, you can continue to prepare for Self-care for Loss by allowing this Reiki Chakra Key to provide chakra healing to your heart center. It helps to place your right hand over the center of your chest while you gaze at the symbol.  Here’s a a couple of suggested affirmations:

“I understand and have compassion for the suffering of myself and others.”

“I open my heart to the possibility of healing and moving forward.”

Strong emotions or insights may come up. The image may move, rotate, vibrate or change color. Don’t worry. That happens sometimes. It just means it’s working to help you feel better. Once the energy calms down a bit, you can move on to the remaining Circles with each of their affirmations to continue the process.

Your heartfelt intention is important and needs to be communicated. Use this Reiki Chakra Key to help you connect your prayers with your heart. Become aware of the Master Chakras located on each hand between the thumb and the index finger and let them get open and balanced. Then, imagine you can connect them with your heart. These affirmations can help:

“My prayers are connecting with my heart center.”

“I ask to receive guidance, clarity and healing from my Inner Wisdom.”

Self-care for Loss

You might want to journal some of your thoughts so that you can talk about what comes up later with a trusted counselor or friend. If so, get out some paper and something to write with as you go through the steps.

 

Finally, it takes energy to get better. You may have the feeling that your life force is being drained right out of you or that you’re sending energy to old habits that have been harmful to you. Relax and gaze softly at this Circle. Let it help you deconstruct those old mindsets and close the drains that are exhausting you.

“I shut down all drains or holes that are causing me to lose energy.’

Now you’re ready to begin the main part of Self-care for Loss.

Mind Body Integration

Mind Body Integration - Self-care for lossFor 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!

Self-care for Loss

Step One: Ask for Help

Breathe in deeply, all the way to your belly while you reflect on this Soul Prayer Chart for Divine Assistance.

If you could ask for something that would help you feel better, what would that be? Place your request in the center, open space of the chart and imagine you can send your breath to it.

Divine Assistance - Self-care for Loss

Continue with your breathing until you feel a friendly and pleasant exchange of energy.

 

Step Two – Support

Imagine that you can bring relief and relaxation into all parts of your body, mind and spirit while you continue to breathe.

Miracles - Self-care for Loss

 

Step Three ~ Peace

What do you think is the main question, difficulty or burden you’re dealing with right now? Take a few moments and put it into your own words.
If there’s a blockage, is your Essence ready to let go of whatever it is and find a solution? If not, why not?

 

Step Four – Release

If you can, imagine that difficulty or burden is beginning to melt and soften up. You can release the tension around anything that’s bothering you right now. Your shoulders are dropped. Your jaw is relaxed. Hardened thoughts are melting.

Keep melting the tension until it’s all gone, like ice melting under the Sun.


Remember to do that both crossed and uncrossed.

 

Step Five – From Self-care for Loss to Divine Blessings

Continue to relax and let your mind turn to helpful channels of generative life force that are available through the Element of Air.
Use this symbol to help you close old, stagnant and harmful channels of energy.

Divien Protection - Self-care for Loss

Next, you can open to a lighter flow of chi that gives protection and increases positive life force. Finally, connect with new communication channels by imagining the lines all coming together and connecting into the central spoke.

Step Six – Soul Vision

Now it’s much easier to connect with the wisdom of your Soul. Under this new light you have access to expanded awareness and perception of what’s possible.
Consider what your life could be without this difficulty you’re concerned about. What would it be like if the burdens were lifted? Can you imagine it?

Sense the experience as much as you can in detail.
See it, hear it, taste it, smell it and feel it.

 

Step Seven – Remove Your Burdens

Visualize sending all those burdens to where ever they need to go to resolve themselves. Surrender them completely and feel the heaviness lifting up and off of you.

You have done the best that you can under the circumstances.

If you can, reclaim your faith and other important Soul Resources.

 

Step Eight – Inner Direction

Gently contemplate this symbol to help you gain insight and spiritual direction about appropriate things to do in this situation.

Imagine you can call upon Love and your Ancestors for support.
Is there something that Love would tell you to do?

Self-care for Loss

Ask to be instructed by Love as you continue along your journey.

 

Step Nine – Let Go

Breathe again and gaze on this Detachment Chart for a few minutes while it helps you let go of toxins or interfering energies.
Feel a calmness coming over you.
Like a healing balm, imagine a loving coat of peace and comfort is pouring down over you.

 

Step Ten – Cleansing

Send away any illness or pain that’s associated with this situation.
Send it to the Sun or wherever it needs to go to heal.

 

Step Ten – Repair

Continue to let it go and allow your energy to repair itself.
Relax with this Correction Chart until things smooth out and you can begin to sense the energy of your Soul coming through.

 

Step Twelve: Divine Connection

You have a Divine Connection to your Soul through your Heart Center.
Make that connection and fill yourself with the strength and knowledge that you are loved.

You exist and what you do matters.

 

Step Thirteen – Closure

In your mind’s eye, close the doors to any pathways that keep the pain and suffering open. You are connected through Love now and are following the path of your Soul. 

Let this healing be sealed with Love and Light.

 

Self-care for LossSome people have gotten a lot of extra support out of going through this self-care for loss formula every day for twenty-one days. It helps to retrain your mind to think more positively and keep you on track toward recovery.

Lizard Medicine | Animal Guidance

Pull Back and Redirect Your Life Force with Lizard Medicine ~

Self-care and Personal Growth through Gifts from the Rainforest:

Lizard Medicine from Gifts from the Rainforest

9. The Lizard is very pragmatic about self-preservation and deftly instructs us on how to quickly let go of whatever is threatening our safety or personal integrity.

Do you need to let go of a dream that’s turned into a nightmare?

Are you overly invested in an abusive person, institution or ideology?

If so, what can you do?

Healing Action: Separate from obligations and allegiances that connect you with falsehood. Drop life destructive plans or relationships in favor of life affirming ones.

A Lizard’s Tale

The lizard is a master of adaptation.
She can change her color to blend
into her environment.
She can stand remarkably still
and run remarkably fast.
If her enemies grab her by the tail,
she simply lets it go
and grows a new one.
She knows that life is a dream
and she is the dreamer.
She cannot control her circumstances,
but she can control how she reacts to them.
Listen to her sage advice:
“It is better to lose your tail than to lose your life.
You can always grow a new one.”

Further Exploration into Lizard Medicine:

Lizard Medicine from Gifts from the Rainforest

Any experience in life or the dreamtime requires an investment of energy, time, space and/or attention. If you’re having trouble with an experience, the best, most peaceful way to handle it is to cut off the investment from your end.

You may think you’re fine, yet the Lizard is here to warn you that you’re deceiving yourself in a fundamental way. Others are trying to hold you to standards or expectations that are harmful to your health and wellbeing. It’s time, maybe even past time, to chase down the possibilities and make corrections. Befriend the Lizard and ask her Circle:

  1. Are you being overly naive about certain people, establishments or belief systems and not seeing them as they truly are behaving?
  2. Are you being taken advantage of by others by doing their work for them or trying to make up for their indiscretions? Do you have your Free Will?
  3. Are you tying yourself down to duty and obligation? What is the purpose in doing that?
  4. Are you confused about what the true meaning of love and friendship is?
  5. What does your intuition tell you about what’s really going on in this situation?
  6. Be honest with yourself, what is the real reason you’re feeling obligated?

Look at the Circle again to help you know what to do about your situation:

  • Accept the damage and the truth of your situation.
  • Make a plan for letting go.
  • Know what you must do to follow through.

Once you deal with the changes you must make, you will realize that letting go is often a blessing in disguise.

Handle Irritations Before They Handle You

Is the Way You Handle Irritations Working for You or Impairing Your Health?

Mind Exercise - Handle IrritationsDo you handle irritations by flying off the handle, cursing out loud, or is it more like a slow burn? Some people are able to ignore their feelings, put on a happy face and set their grievances aside only to wind up paying for it much later with serious health problems.

Certainly, it seems that everywhere and every day, there are plenty of things to be irritated about. However, are you letting them drain your energy or sour your mood? Do they keep you up at night? Are you dangerously close to lashing out at others, even those that you hold most dear?

Well, if that’s happening, you’re certainly not alone. These are all ways that we keep “scratching the itch” and make bad situations worse.

This is a great subject to journal about for your own personal growth. You can turn irritations into positive progress, and this Mind Exercise is here to help you do that.

Simply relax and gaze at the Intuitive Learning Circles while contemplating the accompanying positive affirmations and questions. Going through the process will help you discover how well you’re handling irritations and what you can do to improve. 

So, get out a pen and paper and let’s get started…

An irritation is there to alert you of a problem. Use Chigger Medicine to slow down and tune into what’s bothering you.

What is a problem that’s been irritating you? Pick one and write it down.

Often, an irritation communicates on several levels. Ask yourself:

“How is this irritation affecting me physically?

Mentally?

Emotionally?

What about spiritually?”

Does it remind you of something that has happened before? If so, how far back does it go?

In what ways do you keep “scratching the itch?”

Is that working for you? If not, are you open to an alternative path?

Keep writing until you feel confident you’ve gotten all the information.

MIND BODY INTEGRATION

Mind Body IntegrationFor best results, look at each Circle both crossed over the midline of the body and uncrossed so that the correction is more complete.

Engage in a Change in Perception to Help You Handle Irritations.

Because of recent changes in your life, It’s possible that your sense of this irritation needs a shift in focus. Look at your situation from a different angle or through a different filter. You can get some help with that by relaxing with these affirmations:

Rational Thought Chakras

“I reclaim and balance my five senses.”

“I use them to become aware of how my environment or situation has changed.”

“I focus them to be present and aware of my current needs.”

“I gain clear awareness of alternative paths that hold beneficial resources, solutions, opportunities and _________.”

 

At any point In this exercise, you may need to handle blockages or reversals in your chakras or energy field.

Heal Blockages & Reversals

Use this symbol to help you smooth out any reversals, glitches or jagged edges.

“I bring my energy system back into balance and flow.”

This may take several minutes, however, it’s well worth whatever time it takes.
You will know you’re done when you can take regular, deep breaths.

 

Relax and let this Circle help you adjust the volume on your senses so you can handle irritations from a more balanced point of view.

River

Some may be turned up too high, causing anxiety, tension and/or misinformation about what’s really going on. That happens most often with the senses of feeling and hearing. You can use this Circle to help you adjust the volume up or down to just the right level.

Relax and allow your mind to adjust to the best level for clear perception:

Bring your senses into balance and perceive your situation with clarity.

 

Check in with Fly Medicine to see if your energy is getting drained by this situation.

If so, can you tell how often it happens? Does something seem to trigger it? What goes on mentally?

It probably wouldn’t surprise you if a lot of what’s irritating you is the fact that it’s so draining! Take a few moments to consciously take apart old habits and close down the drains to your energy – like old plumbing lines that need to be closed down completely.

 

Check Into Emotional Patterns with Alligator Medicine.

Are there other emotional constructs such as compulsions, obsessions, attitudes, addictions, phobias or allergic reactions involved?

In this new energy, you might just be able to collapse them.

Emotional constructs don’t have the same power over you that they used to. What you decide about them has more importance now.

Go ahead and see what happens when you decide to collapse the emotional structures that are jumping around in your mind and causing you harm.

 

It will help a lot if you make sure that you are re-establishing your energy and positioning yourself in the New Paradigm.

It’s amazing how much it helps to organize your mindset in a new foundation that can actually support your goals.

If you meditate on the “map” available in this image, your mind can get a better grasp of how it can reorganize your energy in the New Paradigm we’ve entered…

This template called “Common Ground for the Common Good” is based on the concepts of equality, peaceful co-operation and balanced prosperity. This imprint encourages us to establish a mindset where we can work with each other and the Planet going into the future.

 

It’s also very useful to utilize the new quality of life force or chi that’s available through the Element of Air in the new era of Aquarius.

Let this symbol for Divine Protection help you to close down harmful energy channels from the past.

Once they’re shut down, open up to a positive flow of chi’ and connect up with helpful communication channels.

 

Get centered with Starlight to make sure that you’re navigating your own situation correctly.

See yourself in the center, open space of the Circle and re-orient yourself.

Are you beginning to understand your irritation differently now?
Do you need to reorganize your thoughts? If so, how?
Are you going in the right direction to solve the problem?
What really matters here?

 

Let Praying Mantis help you focus on solutions.

This is a good time to write down specifics to help you clear away extraneous mental and emotional clutter. Get all that stress off of you by getting it down on paper.

What are some potential solutions in this situation that would really make a difference?

It might help to move, stretch, draw, doodle or journal via a stream of consciousness. Art often brings in creative inspiration and self-care from your Soul!

Let Rat Medicine help you get specific about what needs to happen to clear the irritation.

Is this situation genuinely detrimental to your physical, mental, emotional health? What about the spiritual level?

Is there something that needs to be cleared out? Re-arranged? Moved? Added? Does something need to be reorganized or removed entirely?

This could be internal or external in your physical environment.

 

The Essential Human* If you have a copy of The Essential Human, now would be a good time to use the process on page 10 to help you make corrections for a healthy and full expression of the power that comes from your Essential Self. Choose from The Essential Human charts #1 – 42.

Detach from harmful emotional patterns and connect with beneficial qualities that will help you in this new energy. 

Emotional Calm

 

Check in with Armadillo to see if any parts of you are still pulling your experience from dangerous or nightmarish experiences you’ve had in the past.

Are you protecting yourself appropriately?

If you are, Congratulations! You can be done with this exercise.

If you’re not, is there a number from The Essential Human between #1 – 42 that would help you make the correction?

 

To continue: Clear attachments and residual toxic energies.

There may be something attached to you that you’re not aware of. It could be an irritation that comes from toxic exposure or an emotional attack that could cause allergies and even addictions.

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

Attachments and conflicts are melting away. Relax. Breathe. Take your time and move around if you need to.

 

Make sure that your energy isn’t scattered or being drained anymore.

If it’s not complete, what else do you think is needed?

Make a note of what that is so that you remember to follow through.

Handle Irritations

Pull back any parts of you that are getting sucked into a negative situation.

Close the drain for good.

 

Realign with your Soul.

Are you open to the positive vibration of your Soul?

Are you willing to slow down and let your Soul help you in this situation?

Most importantly, are you willing to forgive yourself so that you can let go of your irritation?

 

If so, this is a good time to let a white light of forgiveness clear away any darkness from around you. Stay with it until it’s cleared completely. Be sure you feel at peace with yourself.

“I forgive myself for getting irritated.”

If you are Attuned to Reiki, this is a perfect time to use it!

Excellent!

Bring closure by closing any leaks, holes or pathways that might leave you open to that irritation and the problems it brings.

“All holes are sealed and healed. 

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

 

It’s time to get yourself grounded.

Notice how much better you feel. You will feel even better if you are grounded. What do you need to do to get yourself fully grounded in the New Paradigm? 

Handle Irritations by getting grounded.

You may need to go for a walk, rub your feet or ground spiritually.

Congratulations! You now have a way to handle irritations more objectively, with a different perspective and without the intense energy drain! Now is a good time to make sure you follow through on grounding yourself.

Wasp | Intuitive Animal Guidance

Surviving the Sting with Wasp Medicine ~

Self-care and Personal Growth through Gifts from the Rainforest:

Wasp Medicine from Gifts from the Rainforest

5. The Wasp knows not to take rejection personally.  Her advice is to use the sting of unpleasant events as a motivator to keep moving and on track.

Are you tapping into a “hive mind” that’s poisoning you?

Do you need to change your  destination or the route you’re taking?

What will help you take better care of yourself?

Healing Action: Stop tapping into negative energies and experiences. Pull back from destructive influences. Learn from difficult circumstances and move on.

Surviving the Sting

Disappointment comes in many forms.
The things that others do or say often sting,
but the wasp knows that it’s nothing personal.
Do not allow yourself to become overwhelmed
or sensitive when you are repelled.
It’s not important that everybody likes you.
It’s not even possible.
Your time is better spent looking for
another route to your destination.
The wasp does not intend any harm;
she simply follows her instincts.
If she has stung you today, count yourself blessed,
because she has saved you much time
and trouble in the long run.
You could be about to step
into the middle of a hornet’s nest.
Nurse your wounds and move on.

For best results, gaze softly at the Circle both crossed over the midline of the body and uncrossed so that the communication is more complete.

Intuitive Learning Circles help you access your inner guidance and self-confidence to make proactive changes. Simply relax and gaze at the Circles while contemplating its message and positive affirmations. Your intuition will come forward and give you the help that you seek.

Further Exploration into Wasp Medicine:

Wasp - Animal Totems

You haven’t been paying attention to subtle messages telling you that you’re off track. Perhaps you’re so busy being right and trying to make things work that you’re missing out on important information and opportunities. Your pride may say, “But – this is the way things are supposed to work!” In this case, that is not so.

Gaze softly into the Circle and ask: “Have I learned what I needed to learn from this situation yet? Why am I still here? Am I overwhelmed or stepping into a mess of trouble without taking adequate precautions?” If there’s a problem, let Wasp direct you to a safer, wiser approach:

  • You are being warned to pull your energy back from what you’re planning. Something’s not right and needs to be re-evaluated. Are you trying to force something?
  • Look at your situation from a distance. Objectivity is what’s being called for now. Allow your Soul to change the angle of how you’re looking at this so you can see what’s missing. 
  • Notice the ways that you aren’t protecting yourself. Are you too open to destructive energies? Do you need a break from technology?
  • Follow the buzz and be led to where the problem lies. Knowing where to look makes it easier.

Be more flexible and creative in accomplishing your goals. If you look to your left – the road less traveled – you could open up to inspiration and wonderful new paths. By making this small adjustment, the bounty of the Universe can make its way to you. 

Pay attention to your dreams and insights because they’re particularly rich at this time. If you’re willing to be innovative, a brilliant idea is waiting for you to grasp it and use to start something entirely new! 

Finally, thank those who kept irritating you. Even though it wasn’t much fun, they were helping you on your way.
