Staying Empowered

A Transformation Game To Help With Staying Empowered – Even When Things are Falling Apart ~

During difficult times, staying empowered is essential to long term success. Social paradigms and relationships from the past are in various stages of falling apart and it’s important that you don’t fall apart along with them. You can recenter yourself and refocus your energy by going through this I Ching Reading* and Transformation Game from Kuan Yin.
To help you better connect with her assistance, she uses the Intuitive Learning Circles to communicate with you through contemplation, positive affirmations and visualization. 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 The TOWER and Hexagram #23 – Deterioration

Staying Empowered (even when things are falling apart) ~

“If you’re experiencing a situation where there’s a great deal of societal upheaval and discord, the situation may well be in the flow of the I Ching Hexagram #23 – DETERIORATION. Other signs or symptoms would include:

widespread incompetence,
arguments,
blow ups and break ups,
power grabs or
illness due to being in a toxic environment.

If this fits what you’re going through, be extra cautious about how you spend your energy, time or money. Reckless expenditures, whether they be financial, emotional or spiritual, are much more likely to result in loss at this time.

The best thing to do when dealing with deteriorating situations is to step back and get perspective from your Soul.

Clear your mind and your energy.
Adapt by taking care of yourself and examining how well you are handling all the changes.
Be generous and kind to yourself and those you care about.

Remember that deterioration and conflict is an ideal atmosphere for tricksters, abusers and despots. The ego runs rampant and doesn’t want to let go. Do your best to meditate, gather and remind yourself that all things must end. There will eventually come a change for the better.

Don’t Let Yourself Get Drained.

Staying Empowered

If you handle DETERIORATION with an attitude of revenge or resentment, you will deplete yourself by giving the situation more fuel, which is probably exactly the reaction the ego wants. Your good intentions are better served by keeping yourself centered and grounded.”

Here is some help through a Transformation Game called Staying Empowered.”

Gently gaze at the Intuitive Learning Circles one at a time and consider the question or affirmation that goes with each Step. This self-care process helps you to become aware of what’s bothering you, so that you can make a different choice about how to use your energy more productively and in tune with your Inner Guidance.

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 corrections are more complete.

Step 1:

What is a situation around you now that is DETERIORATING?
Trust the message that comes through from your deepest, wisest guidance.

Step 2:

Are you having trouble understanding the situation because it’s so confusing or it makes you so upset you can’t see straight?

Are you too close to someone or something involved to be objective?

Take a few minutes with this Circle to help you relax any fixations or rebellious judgements that could be blocking an empowered response.
Breathe deeply and imagine all the lines in this Circle are going loose and limp – like overcooked spaghetti. Keep gazing until you can sense a glimmer of Light coming through.
Be sure to do that both crossed and uncrossed over the midline of your body.

Step 3:

Do you sense that something is trying to stick to you?
Relax with this correction key and imagine that a loving coat of peace and comfort is pouring down over you, helping you to detach from any interfering energies.

“I easily and effectively neutralize all interfering energies and detach from them. It’s impossible for them to stick to me.”

Step 4.

Give your mind an opportunity to close the doors on all that confusion and chaos. Imagine it’s like you have too many tabs open on your internet browser. It’s time to close them out – for your own sanity and safety!

“All holes, doors or passageways are sealed and healed.”

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

Completing this mental action may take a while, yet it will be so worth it once they’re all closed!

Step 5.

Spiritual empowerment comes from an open and positive heart center. Check in with this Reiki Chakra Key to strengthen your connection.

“The Light in my heart center is strong and radiating out into the world.”

Don’t allow a deteriorating situation to put out your Light! If you’re having trouble, take several deep breaths. Inhale on the count of 4. Exhale on the count of six. Open and close your fingers.

Step 6.

Staying empowered is much easier when you let go of controlling, stagnant or toxic energy from the old Piscean Age. Meditate for a few minutes on this symbol that accesses the new flow of chi’ that’s available through the Element of Air.

“I close down harmful energy or communication channels from the status quo.
I utilize the generative flow of chi’ and protection available through the Element of Air.”

Don’t assume that this will happen on its own. Conscious participation is required for staying empowered – especially when things are falling apart.

Step 7.

You may be feeling tension in your solar plexus or it could feel numb or empty. This Reiki Chakra Key helps you balance your Third Chakra at your solar plexus so that you can let the tension go and integrate your Essence. Breathe deeply into your belly where your ribs go up in the front. and let it relax. It’s okay for you to relax there and breathe as deeply as you want. Use this affirmation if you like:

“I exist and am present in my body.”

Step 8:

Organize your consciousness around what’s most important at this time:

“I am fully present inside my body. I organize my awareness around ________.”

Step 9:

Connect and empower your ability to remain stable, even in the midst of DETERIORATION.

“I exist and am empowered to __________.”

Step 10:

Now that you’re fully connected, ask your deepest wisest guidance:

“What is an action I can take that will help me with staying empowered?”

Take as much time as you need to reorganize your thoughts and energy around positive action.

Step 11. DNA Epigenetic Healing:

The next few symbols are from Divine Nature Activated and will help you release negative conditioning and stimulate some epigenetic healing. The key is to relax as much as possible while looking at each symbol. It can help to imagine that an old, broken DNA strand is falling apart and replaced by a light-filled and cohesive DNA strand that connects into your heart.

When using these symbols, it’s important to relax and breathe as you use each affirmation:

“I let go of whatever is hiding my Light. I ask for assistance from my Soul to cut through the smokescreen.”

“I am communicating Truth with the intention of Love and freedom.”

“I let go of rigid ideas that have changed or proven to be false. I let go of stubborn self-righteousness.”

“I move my attention to solutions that are truthful and serve the highest good.”

“I let go of harmful family stories and ancestral patterns that block acceptance of the Truth.”

“I ask my Soul to assist me in connecting with the consciousness of Hope.”

Step 12.

Now you can dissolve destructive mental, emotional and spiritual blueprints using these affirmations:

“I allow my mind to let go of any attachments to the past or the future that I’m still holding onto. I see patterns of fear, hatred and intolerance dissolving like dark clouds into a clear, blue sky.”

“I dissolve negative templates, attitudes and behaviors that cause me harm.”

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

When we send destructive energy up to the Light, it can be transformed and set right.

To completely release possible entanglements, use the symbol below to collapse any energy drains or sewage lines that lead to or from the deteriorating situation. You don’t need or want to be attached to them anymore.

And now, the final step to any kind of Epigenetic Healing and it’s very important!

Take time to strengthen and repair your auras.

You will want to keep your auras close to your body whenever you want to stay empowered. That’s because your auras provide protection. When they’re strong and focused, they can repel toxicity and keep your energy from mixing up with other people.

So, to finish this game, gaze softly at this Soul Prayer Chart for as long as you need to repair and refocus them. Use this affirmation if you like:

“My auras are very strong and focused. I naturally keep them close to my body.”

Congratulations!

Staying empowered is essential in times of DETERIORATION. Remember the transformation isn’t complete until you’ve taken the action you were guided to take in Step #10. If you like, you may go through this healing meditation again around other issues that are falling apart. Be sure to rest though and take good care of yourself!

Trauma Resolution and Somatic Education Author

Rheanni Lightwater is an author and energy medicine educator who has created a unique method for facilitating trauma resolution and self-care called the Intuitive Learning Circles.

My Journey with Trauma Resolution

I believe in the innate healing capabilities of the human spirit. When I first began studying the area of self-healing and soul retrieval in 1998, I already had eight years of bodywork experience working with people who had suffered from traumatic experiences. I saw everything from emotional and physical abuse, to sexual abuse and post-traumatic stress. I learned how the body forms patterns of contraction and hyperextension to compensate and protect itself from pain. I found out that the memory of a traumatic event is held in the tissue and perpetuated through stress messages that are routinely sent through the central nervous system like a continuous feedback loop.

It became apparent to me as I worked with ptsd, that most people’s impulses and immediate reactions to situations are based on their past experiences. Bits of important movements and memories become frozen through trauma or shock, leaving the person in a state of amnesia. I also noticed that people with this kind of amnesia can be highly sensitive and often have difficulty following through on their goals and hopes for the future.

I have observed recurring episodes where physical and mental symptoms would erupt, seemingly without warning. However, these episodes are almost always triggered by an event or person that brings back memories of a past traumatic event. It seems that the mind and body are definitely working together on some unknown level to sabotage any efforts made towards full recovery.

As a part of my own journey, I have also been working through learning disabilities resulting from traumatic early life situations. I have suffered from dyslexia for as long as I could remember. My mind would often go blank and anxiety attacks were frequent and debilitating.

One day, I decided that no matter what, I would find a way to bridge the gap between the limited life I was living and the life I dreamed of having. I decided that I would search every avenue that might bring me into contact with that unknown level where mind and body meet and rectify the damage that had been done. At the time, the books all said that victims of trauma and abuse could never fully recover, that they would at best, just learn to live with it. I wasn’t willing to settle for that answer.

I pursued every modality available to me, including Hypnotherapy, Hanna Somatics, Cranial-sacral Therapy, Structural Integration and dozens of other forms of bodywork. I learned about Homeopathy and put myself in the care of a fine Homeopathic Nurse Practitioner in Los Angeles.

Anything that held promise, I investigated tirelessly. I came into contact with various forms of indigenous healing – Hawaiian, Peruvian, Chinese, Tibetan and Native American – just to name a few. I meditated, learned kinesiology and got attuned to Reiki. In 1998, I began writing about what was working and why. I studied soul retrieval, dreams and symbology, shamanism and theories about the collective unconscious. Each modality was helpful in its own way, yet I kept having trouble holding ground. I would do all right for a while, but then I’d fall back into the same old patterns.

It wasn’t enough for me to just escape from unwanted thoughts and feelings. I had learned that problems cannot be solved from the same mental position they were created from. During intensive shamanic journeys it became clear that a transformation of consciousness was required to get from where I was to where I wanted to be and that my emotional healing was inextricably interwoven with how I was relating to my environment. What I needed was a way to retrain myself to adapt to the changes happening all around me. I needed to be stronger, more resilient and able to access inner resources I didn’t know I had. That is when the Intuitive Learning Circles came into being and my intuitive abilities came in full force.

In 2002, I started working as a medical intuitive at a Naturopathic Detoxing Clinic in Tigard, Oregon that specialized in helping highly sensitive people detox from exposure to harmful chemicals, electro-magnetic poisoning and heavy metals. I was asked to come up with energy medicine protocols that would assist people in detoxing quicker and easier. I succeeded with the Re-balancing Cellular Resonance process using the Intuitive Learning Circles. Soon, the Doctors started sending me home with the patients to find out what they were reacting to in their environment. That is when I discovered how important Feng Shui and space clearing is to living a happy, healthy life.

Now, my husband Bob and I are here in Santa Fe, New Mexico and I am excited to share what I know with this extraordinary community. Out of my search for wholeness, peace and self-love, I humbly offer the mind body healing, intuition training and self-help books of Soul Resources LLC.

Educational Materials for Trauma Resolution

As an educator, Rheanni has taught extensively about mental, emotional and spiritual issues relating to trauma resolution, PTSD, abuse and how they are reflected in our subtle energetic fields.

As a result of studying the indigenous healing practices of Tibet, Japan, Hawaii and Peru, Ms. Lightwater developed a unique understanding of the subtle human energy field. During a visit to the Amazon in 2001, she participated in numerous ceremonies with the Shipibo shamans. Her experiences there gave birth to the Intuitive Learning Circles and other healing symbols. Gifts from the Rainforest and Reiki Chakra Keys are the primary collections in the series.

In 2008, Ms. Lightwater received First Place in the New Age Category of the New Mexico Book Awards for her first edition of Soul Oriented Solutions. She has won awards numerous times since then.

As part of her pioneering work over the years, Rheanni has developed hundreds of healing symbols and researched various applications for them in medical clinics, detox centers, business settings, workshops, schoolrooms, online classes and in individual sessions. She has extensive experience helping people deal with serious illnesses, heavy metal poisoning, chemical sensitivity, immune deficiency and a wide range of trauma and stress induced disorders.

The positive response to the Intuitive Learning Circles show them to be effective in shifting dysfunctional brain patterns in both children and adults, freeing them from destructive thoughts and behaviors that contribute to serious illness, learning difficulties and emotional distress.

In addition, Rheanni has taught other Somatic Educators, Acupuncturists, Chiropractors, Yoga Instructors, Massage Therapists, Hypnotherapists, Naturopathic and Allopathic Physicians about Energy Medicine and how to develop their own clairvoyant skills.

In her latest projects, Rheanni continues the Soul Oriented Solutions series with several online collections of self care formulas and mind exercises that provide mental, emotional and spiritual support in these times of uncertainty, loss and radical change.

1. PTSD Workbook

SOS Self-care for Post-traumatic Stress is a ptsd workbook of eleven self-care formulas and mind exercises, with additional workshops and activities that gently retrain the mind and manage the symptoms of PTSD or secondary trauma through the Intuitive Learning Circles.

2. Navigating Serious Loss and Compassion Fatigue

An online mental/emotional resource for resilience, self-care & promoting wellness.

and

3. Creating Your Path of Joy

Support for Reconnecting with Your True Nature & the Natural Cycles of Life.

Online support for serious illness including mental/emotional resources for resilience, self-care & promoting wellness.

What the EXPERTS are saying:

“What I love about Rheanni’s approach is its simplicity. I don’t need to go to therapy for years or rehash trauma from the past to create positive change in my life. Instead I can look at a picture and read a short paragraph and then let life do the rest. Her methods only take about 5 minutes and are available to me at any time and in any place. They bring instant stress relief with long-term healing impact.” ~ Pi Luna – Artist & Business Coach for Creatives

“Combining healing insights from many sources, Ms. Lightwater has created a system of powerful yet easy to use visualization tools that, used in conjunction with breathing and meditation prompts, allow both mind and body to relax, expand and generate positive energy…” ~ Victoria Erhart, Reading New Mexico

“This process is like coming up from underwater and taking a fresh breath.” ~ Cornelia Sachs, Eutony Movement Practitioner

“Whoever uses this work will find it beneficial for their growth in unfolding more of who they are. Old emotions come up as well as memories that need new perspectives, which the exercises handle beautifully. In a way, they are washed away and lifted to higher grounds, leaving behind gifts of healing and new beginnings.” ~ D.G.Villena-Mata, Ph.D., Fellow and Diplomate in Traumatic Stress

Heartfelt Communication Using Your Intuition

Intuition is Learning to Listen with Your Heart

The goal of this exercise is to empower more confident, cooperative and heartfelt communication in the New Paradigm.

Heartfelt communication is something many people say they would like and wonder why it’s so difficult to achieve. In the best of times it happens naturally by opening your heart and listening to its promptings.

Unfortunately, when life takes a difficult turn or tragedy happens, as it has for many of us, the heart and throat centers can shut down, leading us to feel cut off and at a loss for words. Repeated trauma and other violations of the spirit take their toll. Perhaps it’s the shock of disappointment or the panic one feels when the world gets turned upside down.

Opening up again may take time and some extra encouragement, especially for introverted, shy or highly sensitive people. Yet, with a little help, your heart can heal and your throat can relax again.

By practicing heartfelt communication with yourself first, you strengthen your intuition, which is like having an inner guidance system. When you go one step further and act on your intuition, you can:

Re-examine your relationship with yourself and the world
Reclaim an inner peace that helps you remain objective
Recalibrate your ability to express your truth
Renew the connection between your throat and your heart.
Resource new ways to nurture cooperation and appreciation

*If you often go blank or feel like you’re out of your body during conversations you may be dealing with unresolved shock or anxiety. If that happens during this exercise, or at any other time, you can go through Self-care Formula #1 Healing Emotional Shock to get grounded.

** If you’re having difficulty with boundaries, you may need to go through Mind Exercise #8 Developing Healthy Boundaries in conjunction with this exercise.

In the New Paradigm there are new channels of protection and communication that we can learn to utilize for our benefit.

The transition out of the Water based Piscean Age into the lighter, quicker energy of the Aquarian Age (Air) has contributed to quite a few challenges. Most people are experiencing including breakdowns in communication and a general atmosphere of instability.

As you go through the exercise, utilize the Divine Protection Chart to access the generative energy flow of the New Paradigm. Let it help you organize your communication and give it the lift and lightness needed to be successful.

By contemplating the symbol, you’ll be able to intentionally close down harmful channels and open up to the generative life force (chi) that is available through the Element of Air. Gaze softly at the symbol with these positive affirmations:

“Any stagnant, heavy or destructive energy flows from the past are closing down now – in my mind, my body and my communications.”

Integrating with this new channel will help us connect with each other in far more generative and life affirming ways.

“I am open to receiving generative life force through the Element of Air.”
“I now communicate using the lighter, quicker energy of Air.”

Heartfelt Communication: A Mind Exercise using Animal Totems from the Intuitive Learning Circle method.

Many cultures claim that messages from the animal world inform and offer us guidance – a very special kind of “medicine.” The Intuitive Learning Circles use messages from animals and nature to facilitate your learning and access inner peace.

For example, Monkey Medicine is about calming angry or critical thoughts that are causing trouble in your communications and life. In today’s world, many conversations have no intention of creating any kind of common ground and are merely an opportunity to criticize or pick a fight. Monkey can warn you if you’re about to engage in a hostile or manipulative communication.

Gaze softly at Monkey’s Circle, and ask:
“Is there any real opportunity to make progress with this person or group?”

If the answer is “no,” you would be wise to stop now. Your time and energy is too valuable to be wasted in this way.

If your answer is “yes,” ask yourself honestly:

“Am I open to changing my perspective around this particular communication?”

If your answer is still “yes,” get out some paper and something to write with to make notes as you go through this exercise.

*For best results, place both feet on the ground and gaze gently at each Circle to receive your own message.

Let’s start by introducing you to the very first Intuitive Learning Circle from Gifts from the Rainforest.

Animal Spirits Medicine

Animals are our partners in creating an abundant and peaceful life on our planet. By observing their behavior and the role they play in their environment, we can adapt to and make the most of the circumstances in our lives. This Intuitive Learning Circle helps us take ownership of how we use our energy to communicate. It also helps us to set things right by listening to the wisdom of our hearts.

Relax and breathe as you would in a state of meditation. Bring to mind a person or group you would like to improve your communications with. When you gaze gently at the Circle, you can tune in and receive your own answers to the question:

“What do I really want to communicate to this person or group?”

Take your time and write down what comes to you initially.

2. Because of the alarming amount of confusion and manipulative communications happening around us, we need to address the possibility that various aspects of your subtle energy system may be damaged by toxic attachments or karmic entanglements that would interfere with clear communication.

Use this Key to relax and meditate on for as long as you like. Like a healing balm, imagine that a loving coat of peace and comfort is pouring down over you.

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

“I easily let go of toxic attachments.”

3. When we’re under pressure to communicate, it’s not uncommon for the chakras and/or meridians to start running in reverse or shut down entirely. Relax and let this symbol help you make corrections to problems including reversals, deformations and misdirections.

“I repair any glitches, holes or blockages in my energy system.”

Continue breathing until you begin to sense the calming energy of your Soul coming through.

Butterfly Medicine

4. It’s always helpful if you can tap into positive energy that will assist you. If you continue to relax with the medicine of Butterfly, you may be able to utilize beneficial energies from your environment to nourish a more successful and reciprocal outcome.

After all, what you put out comes back, so it’s worth it to take a few extra minutes to clarify what you want to put out!

Once you’ve lightened up a bit, gently bring your attention back to who you’re communicating with, what you want to communicate and how you might do that more effectively.

Electric Eel Medicine

5. The message of Electric Eel is about being coherent and grounded in the way we’re communicating. Use this medicine to scan your body and energy. Pay attention to any areas that feel muddled, blank or void when it comes to communicating with this person or group. Once you feel the inconsistency, Electric Eel will help you clear up the confusion and fill in the blank with positive energy and purpose.

It can also help you change the polarity of your throat and heart chakras so that they can realign with each other.

Note: This would be a good time to scroll back to the symbol at the beginning for Divine Protection to close down old energy channels and integrate that new energy channel before you continue.

River Medicine

6. Now that you’ve done all that, River Medicine can help you settle into a clearer perception of what you would like to say. Use the Circle to bring your senses into balance like the volume control on a radio.
Not too high, not too low – just right!
Bringing them into balance will support clear intuition by helping you to remain calm and perceive your situation the way it really is.

Now you can be more objective. Adjust the volume on your proposed communication. Take time to consider what’s really needed.
Does the volume need to be turn up or down? Does it need repetition? Something else?
Of course, there’s what you’d like and what’s actually possible.

Create a positive affirmation to guide you:
“In this situation, my communications are _________ and __________.”

Divine Connection

7. The next step is to empower your ability to express your needs and create a clear intention that you can follow through on.

“I exist and am empowered through my heart and Soul.”
“I am empowered to take good care of myself and develop heartfelt communications that are life affirming, confident and cooperative.”

“I am empowered to release harmful intentions or interference.”
“I’m able to express myself clearly and keep healthy boundaries.”
Continue by making your own affirmations that apply to your intention:
“I am empowered to _____________.”

Jaguar Medicine

8. An important part of this exercise is to improve your confidence. Bring in Jaguar Medicine to surround yourself with a sphere of protection made of Light, strength and determination.

Once you’ve visualized that both crossed and uncrossed, can you remember a time when you successfully communicated something similar?

It was probably something you felt very confident about.

Take your time and remember what was important about it.

Is your current communication challenge also important to you? Do you care?
Why do you care? Why do you care about the person or group you’re communicating with now?
What is motivating you?
Is there something you’d like to change about that or add?

Hummingbird Medicine

9. Another reason to cultivate heartfelt communication is to increase your experience of joy, connection and positive service. Hummingbird is our guide for accessing harmony and joy. Use this medicine to help you remember more about your successful experience. What did you enjoy about it?
What was the most positive aspect?
Did you enjoy getting a positive response?
Would you enjoy getting a similar response with this communication?

Hummingbird also helps us distinguish the difference between cooperation and compromising one’s integrity. For example, people who enjoy being “nice” have problems with communications because that attitude often puts them in impossible positions. Another problem is trying to be everything to everyone.
Use the Circle to unwind yourself from agreements, attitudes or assumptions that cause problems in how you communicate.

Use these affirmations to help:
“I untangle myself from disrespectful lies, no win situations and extremes.”
“I am free to enjoy cooperative and truthful communications.”

Soul Color

10. Whenever you’re very happy or have successfully manifested a goal, you’re naturally using your Soul’s unique vibration or color. Use the Soul Color chart to see if a particular color comes to mind for your successful communication. Relax for a minute or so to find it and strengthen your resonance with it.

“I recognize my Soul’s unique color vibration and strengthen it to enhance my confidence and communication.”

When you’re ready, ask what kind of message your Soul would like to give and receive in this case.
What would be your Soul’s purpose in having this communication?
Would you be happy with that message?
Take your time and sift through the pros and cons of your proposed communication. Continue to make notes.

Dissolving Destructive Blueprints

11. You’ve probably gathered up a lot of old mental, emotional or spiritual patterns that contributed to misguided, confusing or ineffective communication in the past. This would be a good time to let them go.

Use this symbol to help you find and Dissolve Destructive Blueprints. See them like dark clouds, dissipating into the pure light of the Sun.

“I dissolve destructive patterns for harmful communication
and any connection I have ever had to them.”

“I release any grief, loneliness, frustration, anxiety or __________
that would interfere with heartfelt communication.”

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!

Piranha Medicine

12. Piranha is about spiritual direction and protection. Use the Circle to close the doors to all the myriad pathways in your mind that would lead you back into dangerous, confusing or ineffective communications.

“I close the doors to any harmful, confusing or manipulative communications.”

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

Heart Chakra Key

Now it’s time to integrate your communication with the Heart Chakra Key. Bring your attention to your heart center and allow the energy there to gently radiate out, like a star!

Can you imagine incorporating compassion, caring, self-respect and respect for others into the essence of your communication? If so, you’re ready to refine your message.

If not, what do you think you need?
Make a note of what comes up so that you don’t forget.

Starlight Medicine

Starlight aligns our individual consciousness with Universal Truth to achieve clarity and order. This medicine integrates conscious awareness, compassionate action and alignment with “true north” – the direction of your spirit.

It also helps you get more present in your body. Imagine that you can bring your Soul’s energy into the center area of your chest.

Once you feel more present in your heart center, contemplate what you originally wrote down.
Is this really what you want to communicate?
Are you clear who you want to communicate this message to?
Do you think that this message, as it is, will evoke the response you’re really looking for?
Is there a more effective message to send?

Sky Medicine

Finish now with Sky Medicine and allow it to help confirm a joyful message that is heartfelt and you really want to communicate.
That way, your words are bound to have a more desirable impact.

“What I really want to say to ________ is ____________________________.”

Once you’ve got the main message, see if you can refine the details about who, what, how, when, where and why.

Congratulations!

You have taken the time to consider the true impact of your words and re-frame any confusion or negativity into more heartfelt communication. Be sure to take some time to relax. Take a walk and integrate what you’ve come up with.

Feng Shui

Discover the Art of Space Clearing and Feng Shui in Santa Fe ~

Since 2002, Rheanni Lightwater has been combining her medical intuitive skills with Feng Shui to create greater health and prosperity to help us as we evolve into the energy of the New Paradigm. Today, Soul Resources is excited to offer this form of Feng Shui in Santa Fe and New Mexico!

Feng shui (pronunced “fung shway”) is a Chinese term that means “wind and water” symbolizing the natural flow of “chi” or life energy that flows through our environment and supports life. Predating Taoism and Confucianism, this ancient art of flow and placement in one’s environment has been used to facilitate balance and well being in every important aspect of life.

Feng Shui in Santa Fe can make a real difference in the ch’i of your home and the success of your business by:

Creating a more balanced and harmonious atmosphere.
Grounding a sense of safety and stability.
Clearing your space of stagnant, toxic or disturbing influences.

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 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.

Taking Care of the Root Cause Through a Mind Exercise Using the Intuitive Learning Circles

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 bottom 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” girl or boy. I forgive myself completely.”

“I give up shame, blame and punishment.”

“I release my judgement and let myself off the hook.”

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

“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.”

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?

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…

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

Note: You may need to clear destructive blueprints again.

Clear a space for preferred karma to take root 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 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.

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!
