How To Turn Things Around

Welcome to Part II of How To Do the Right Thing and Turn Things Around 

In Part I of this game, you examined your part of a CONFLICT and now you think you’re ready to turn things around.
Let’s evaluate where you are with it…

Do you still have the feeling that you’re about to do something you’ll regret?
Are you concerned that you’re not doing something you really ought to do?
Do you feel like you’ve straightened out your thinking so you can do the right thing?
How does that feel?

Do the Right Thing and Turn Things Around

If you feel good about what you’ve done so far, congratulations.
One door has been closed so that another can open!


Part Two: Help Me Turn Things Around!

Now that you’ve let go of your part of the CONFLICT, it’s time to empower the RESOLUTION.

Before you begin, let’s just make sure that you’re centered and truly ready to empowered to get help in the New Paradigm.

Ask Otter Medicine to help you get centered within yourself.

Are you clear now about what you’re asking yourself to do? Take what ever time you need to re-orient yourself. Conflicts can really pull you in a lot of different directions. Are you facing True North and heading towards the Light?

Are you going for joy or something else? Ask yourself:

“In this situation, what do I really want to do?”

Otter - Turn Things AroundOnce you have it, place the words or image for what you want in the center, open space of Otter’s Circle and begin sending energy from your solar plexus to it.

Once you’ve got that, Otter will reciprocate and send energy back to you.

Have you added fun to the ingredients? What about gratitude, respect, objectivity, harmony and trust?

You may not have them right now, but you can include them in your request if you’re open to receiving them.

Now you’re ready to continue with How to Turn Things Around:

Remember that your resolution is not necessarily a resolution for others. You cannot resolve other people’s issues for them. That’s something only they can do for themselves.

Gaze softly at Fish Medicine and contemplate your situation again. Where are you with it now? Ask yourself:

“Am I still in troubled waters here? What direction am I heading?”

Are you heading down into the darkness, going around in circles or do you feel empowered to move onward and upwards?
Is something holding you or pulling you back against your free will?
If you could request anything at all, without restriction, what would it be?

“What do I need to help me do the right thing?”

 

It will really help you to open up to generative, life energy that comes from the Element of Air in the New Paradigm. Allow your Essence to be filled with Divine Protection.

“I am open and clear to receive generative life force.”
“I close down all harmful energy channels from the past.”


Get centered and ask your Essential Self:
“Am I willing to connect with new lines of communication?”
Make corrections again if need be.

Are you grounded in the New Paradigm?

Do you have adequate protection?

Would you like a good dose of courage and confidence?
If so, add them to your request.

 

While we’re improving the line of cooperative communication, would you like your Throat Chakra to be open and balanced out so that your words are strong and RESOLUTE? Ask for it! After all, saying the right thing and doing the right thing are inter-related.

Here are some powerful suggestions:
“I dedicate the power of my voice to Love, life and balanced prosperity.”
“I direct my words towards those who can and will benefit.”

“I communicate the right words to the right people at the right time.”
“I am inspired to say the right thing.”

Is there anything else that you’d like to articulate?

 

Would you like your Soul to help you shine some light on peaceful, prosperous solutions?

Contemplate the Divinity Chakra Key and make note of the different impressions you get.

 

The Essential Human

If you would like these things and you have a copy of The Essential Human, you might want to go through Calibrating the Meridians to Higher Frequencies on p. 106.

These affirmations work well:

“I exist and am empowered to make the changes needed to turn things around.”

“I have the strength to RESOLVE this CONFLICT for myself.”
“I let other people handle their own part.”

 

Let a strong connection between your thinking and your spiritual guidance to protect and support you in your new RESOLUTION.

Keep relaxing with this symbol until you feel very protected from above.

 

Finally! It’s time to make a RESOLUTION to overcome your difficulties and turn things around by making progress in a unified and productive direction. Gently formulate some positive affirmations about how you can follow through now and do things in a way that will really benefit you. Write them down so you remember to follow through! For example:

“I make a RESOLUTION to relax and grow in the direction of my general good.
I look to my Soul to help me to do the right thing.”

“In this situation, doing the right thing is ___________and _____________.”

“I can turn things around by __________ and ______________.”

See yourself taking the appropriate actions. Remember that actions speak louder than words.

Congratulations!

It isn’t always easy to turn things around, yet if you’re willing to make a change for the better – anything is possible!

Clear Boundaries

Setting Clear Boundaries for a Busy Mind

What can you do to help yourself when you’re unable to focus on important tasks that really need to get done? Is your line of thinking clear? Has someone or something gotten under your skin and you can’t seem to let go? Clear boundaries may be the answer.

Clear BoundariesWithout strong boundaries, thoughts and emotions can pass back and forth between people without their awareness. When left unchecked, this type of attachment can go underground and contribute to sudden and mysterious illnesses, mental confusion, issues with prosperity or chronic states of overwhelm.

It’s a valuable skill to know how to close the doors or energy pathways at will. This Mind Exercise can help you learn how to consciously set clear boundaries and close off those pathways.

This visual meditation from our SOS Resolve Ebook provides a quick framework for recovering mental balance and refocusing attention. Going through a quick  “game” calms the emotional centers of your brain and opens up new neural pathways for self-awareness and clear boundaries, which significantly reduces stress and increases clarity.

Use this Mind Exercise when you are:RESOLVE for Clear Boundaries

~ Feeling scattered or out of sync
~ Easily triggered and need better boundaries
~ Experiencing distress or separation anxiety
~ Worried, agitated or anticipating hardship
~ Feeling pressured or compulsive
~ Unable to meditate or sit still
~ Obsessed with a particular person or situation.

Directions: Confirm this is the best exercise for you with the RESOLVE symbol.

Mind Exercises for Clear BoundariesFind a quiet place if possible, where you won’t be disturbed for about twenty minutes. Follow the sequence of symbols while you read their accompanying instructions. Gaze gently at each Circle for about two minutes. A longer or shorter time may be necessary. Let yourself breathe and relax as much as possible.

Don’t worry if the images move around or change in any way. That just means the Circles are working and that your mind and body are relaxing.

 


Mind Body Integration

Mind Body IntegrationThe brain and body communicate through different channels when a part of you is crossed over the center of your body. Therefore, you will want to look at each Circle both crossed and uncrossed over the midline of your body.

If you feel resistant or stuck, cross or uncross a hand or foot over the midline of your body and go back to the Circle, breathing patiently. See if your thinking starts to move again. Let negative self-talk go by breathing through it Just breathe deeply and relax.


After you’ve finished going through the entire exercise, give yourself some time to let it integrate. A quiet mind and light heart will change your perspective and make it easier to accomplish your goals.

 

Step 1. Balance

Begin by consciously breathing in on the count of three and slowly exhaling on the count of five. Do that three or four times while you gaze softly at the Circle. It’s helpful if you can breathe in through your nose.

Clear Boundaries - Balance Chakra

Continue breathing and bring your awareness to your tailbone.

 

Step 2. Calm

Keep breathing with your belly soft and relaxed.
Let your shoulders drop.

Gaze softly at this Circle and imagine you can turn down the feelings or thoughts that are turned up too high, just like the volume on a radio.

 

Step 3. Centering

See if you can gather your awareness and connect it – like all the lines that come together into the center of this symbol.

Imagine you can close up unhealthy energy channels between you and any interference that’s coming from the outside.

Stay with it until you feel more centered with beneficial energy flowing through you.

 

Step 4. Protection

Now, gaze softly at this Circle and use it to close all holes or harmful pathways that have been left wide open, like too many tabs that have been left open on your computer. Affirm to yourself:

“I close the pathways that lead to distractions, disturbances and interference.”

“All holes are sealed and healed.”

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

 

Step 5. Beauty

Now that the pathways are closed, you can shift your attention away from the negative and turn towards more positive input. Breathe in again and exhale slowly.

Take your time and let this Circle help you call the most majestic scenes into your mind that you can imagine.

Notice how your body responds and relaxes into the experience.

 

Step 6. Expansion

Turn your attention to your breathing again and how calming it is.
You can sense the steady rhythm of your heart.
The gentle expansion and contraction of your lungs.
Breathing in and letting go. The space around you is relaxing too.

Emotional Calm

 

Step 7. Letting Go

There may be some especially sticky energies that don’t seem to want to let go. Let this Key help you neutralize interfering energies and detach from them.

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

Step 8. Intention

Now you’re ready to gently turn your mind to what’s in your best interests. What are your true priorities?

Slow down and take your time.

 

Step 9: Grounding and Coherence

This Circle will help your energy get organized and grounded. Put both your feet on the floor, place your palms on the inside of your knees and keep breathing until you feel planted.

Then, visualize a wheel spinning out any discordant energy that’s still hanging on and causing problems. When you can release excess energy, it’s much easier to think more clearly and feel like yourself again.

 

Step 10. Compassion

Imagine with each relaxing new breath that you can fill your heart with renewed understanding and compassion – that includes caring for yourself with clear boundaries.

 

Step 11. Decision

Your well-being is important. Are the any new decisions would you like to make about it?
Here’s a few suggestions:

“I decide to be loyal to myself.”
“It’s okay to have strong and clear boundaries.”

“It’s genuinely joyful to have a quiet mind and a light heart.”

 

Step 12. Resolution

Make a commitment to stay centered and true to yourself.

“I keep my own energy contained for my own protection.”
“I easily eject and deflect harmful thoughts, interference or expectations.”

“I resolve to create and maintain clear boundaries.”

 

Step 13. Nourishment

Before you get on with your day, see if there’s any helpful nutrition that would support you. Let this Circle help you tune into natural healing energy.

Are there any vegetables, fruits, herbs, teas or other healing foods that come to mind? Anything else?

 

Step 14. Completion

Finish by closing any remaining openings to the noise and distractions of the external world.

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

What does your Soul advise you to do now?

Congratulations! Now that you’ve finished, give yourself some time to let it integrate. A quiet mind and light heart changes your perspective and makes it easier to accomplish your goals.

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?

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.

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 minds 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.

Resolving Shock and Confusion

This self-care formula from RESOLVE uses the Intuitive Learning Circle method for resolving shock.

Resolving Shock and ConfusionMany people who are experiencing unresolved shock get confused or shut down and are unable to explain what’s happening to them.  That’s because one of the main symptoms of being in shock is not being aware of being in shock.

Why is that? During a shock, the mind goes blank as a form of protection.

Resolving Shock can help if you’re experiencing any of these symptoms: 

  • Feeling stuck, immobilized, lost or helpless
  • Unable to relax tension from a startle response
  • Caught in a blank or confused state of mind
  • Waking up at night worried, with obsessive thoughts
  • Reliving painful experiences
  • Alternately feeling trapped and shattered.

Note: If you are going through a serious physical disruption or environmental crisis, please go to Stabilize During a Shocking Event.


Any person involved in a traumatic event could experience disorientation, mental confusion or get lost in wishful thinking. They might fragment out of their body and then not remember what they did. These are all ways that the unconscious mind protects us during a traumatic event and that includes people who are witness to traumatic experiences in some way. 

Contrary to popular opinion, having a shock response is not a sign of weakness or something to be ashamed of. It is a physiological event. Nevertheless, if the person doesn’t get a chance to get grounded in their body again – or if they’re not able to – serious problems may develop. Blocked energy and a constant state of fight or flight takes its toll over time. Statements like: “I can’t relax,” “I don’t know what to do,” “I feel disconnected” or “I just check out,” describe the experience of unresolved shock. 

If any of the above seems like it may apply to you, go through this mind exercise to help you access your own innate healing abilities.

 You can restore your wholeness and reunite with self-love. Simply follow the directions and see if you can free up some of the confusion and conflict that comes from shock.

Here’s an example of how it works.

Simply relax and gaze softly at the Circle while you contemplate each of these positive affirmations:

“I reclaim and balance my five senses.”

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

“I use them to become aware of my environment and what’s important to me right now.”

“I focus on life affirming actions that benefit my well-being and happiness.”

For best results, look at each symbol both crossed over the midline of the body and uncrossed so that the correction is more complete. The brain and body communicate through different channels when a part of you is crossed or uncrossed.

Use a soft focus and let yourself relax as much as possible. Don’t worry if the images move around or change in any way. That just means the Circles are working and that your mind and body are relaxing.
Be sure to go through the entire formula and at the end, give yourself time to rest and integrate.


Resolving Shock and Confusion

Step One:

Take several deep breaths and relax while you look at this Circle that releases shock and inner conflict.

Imagine you can use it to focus in on a conflict, a thought or a painful experience that’s blocking your way. If your mind is blank, relax into how “blank” it is. You may get a conscious image or message, or you may not.

Resolving Shock

Once you have a sense that your mind has found the blockage, sit back and take a couple more deep breaths. Imagine that the lines going into the center are relaxing and going soft, like cooked spaghetti noodles.

Or, you can visualize that the darkness or heaviness is like an iceberg and the Sun is melting it away with a beautiful beam of light. Stay relaxed with it until it’s completely gone.

Repeat the process with other blockages or conflicts that come up.

Step Two:

The next step for resolving shock is to bring your senses into balance so that you can see, feel and hear things without the distortion that often accompanies shock.

As you breathe deeply, let this Circle help you to adjust the volume and pitch of your senses to just the right level for you.

Soon you will be able to hear that calm, gentle voice inside that reminds you about what matters the most to you:

“I see things as they really are. My senses are balanced.”
“I can perceive clearly what matters the most.”

Step Three:

When a person is ready to pull themself out of a shocking event, their mind needs to have a safe idea of where to go.

This template for Common Ground will help you find a place to re-organize around that is aligned with your Soul, Nature and the Common Good.

Resolving Shock in the New Paradigm

If you gently meditate on this image you can begin to connect with a new environment that has room for equality, peaceful co-operation and balanced prosperity.

Step Four:

Relax with this symbol to connect with life affirming energy flow.

“I adapt to the positive flow of chi’ and protection available through the Element of Air to the best of my ability.”

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

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

Step Five:

It’s important that you pull your energy completely out of the past so you can get present and grounded again. Your well-being is important.

Use this Chart for the Earth Element to pull your roots out of old, stagnant, trapped or stuck places. 

Once you’ve freed yourself, place both feet on the ground and your hands on each knee while you use these affirmations:

“I decide to get present and ground in Common Ground.”

“I am safe and the Earth supports me.”

Step Six:

If your gut feels tight or uncomfortable, use this Reiki Chakra Key for your solar plexus to help you relax and get back into balance there. Your solar plexus is that soft place in your belly where your ribs go up. Just take some nice breaths and feel it relax as you affirm to yourself:

“It’s safe. I feel safe and more relaxed with every breath.”

“I can reconnect with my resources again.”

Take your time and move around if you need to. Stay with it until you feel centered again.

Step Seven:

Take some more time and let your heart recover. This Key will help you to reconnect and balance your Heart Center so you can clear away any residual heaviness. Breathe deeply and be gentle.

“I take the time to reconnect with my heart.”

Resolving Shock in the Heart Chakra

“I release any heaviness to the Light where it can be transformed.”

“I choose to reconnect with life and _________.”

Eventually, your Heart Center will be able to radiate out like a star.

“I integrate my true Self with a compassionate and radiant heart.”

Step Eight:

Sometimes a person who’s coming out of shock will have difficulty getting their bearings and feel a bit shaken or unstable. In case that’s happening with you, take a few minutes to consciously reorganize your awareness back into your body. 

“I am at home in my center. I am inside my body.”

Close your hands into fists and then stretch them out wide several times. Wiggle your toes around. Move in whatever way helps you feel good and more present in your body.
Notice the time and where you are. These actions all help.

Step Nine:

Get back in touch with the familiar vibration of your Soul.
To do that, relax with this Circle. Remember a time when you were very happy or had successfully accomplished an important physical goal.

What color or felt sense relaxes you and feels good?

If you can increase the color to be stronger and more vibrant, you’ve found your Soul’s unique vibration. Now you can sync up with the Universe correctly, which puts you back in the flow.

Being in a balanced flow makes everything easier! Take a few minutes to relax and enjoy that feeling.

Step Ten:

Oftentimes, resolving shock and confusion requires a change in priorities. There may be certain intention or expectations that have contributed to your confusion.

Use this Circle to identify and remove old intentions that are no longer appropriate for you to hold or send energy to.

Imagine you can clear away any outdated intentions or societal motives that are harmful to your health, prosperity and happiness.

Now that they’re gone, what new intentions do you want to set or strengthen?

Step Eleven:

There may also be negative or outdated plans, blueprints and habitual patterns that are suddenly reversed. They may no longer be relevant or constructive and are now obstructing your way forward. You can use this symbol for dissolving destructive blueprints to help you identify them and dissolve whatever is confusing you.

Actively imagine that the negative patterns in your mind are like heavy clouds or a jumbled maze of fears, dead ends and nightmares.

Once you have the image, bring the pure light of the Sun in and dissolve the maze completely.

You’ll know that you’re done when you can see yourself standing in a beautiful open field with clear blue skies all around.

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

Step Twelve:

Be sure to include harmful karma that you may still be carrying.
Release any seeds of karma that could prolong or cause a recurrence of your suffering and send them to the Light.

Also, surrender any seeds that are not yours so they can return to wherever they belong and be healed!

“I surrender other people’s karma and take responsibility for my own.”

These steps are often overlooked when resolving shock, which causes a lot of repeat and unnecessary suffering.

Later, once the karma has been set right, consider planting new seeds for healthier and happier outcomes.

 

Step Thirteen:

When one door closes another can open, so be certain to seal and heal any holes, leaks or harmful pathways that may have come open in your energy field during this process.  Open pathways can leave you vulnerable to danger by allowing harmful energies to pass back and forth between you and others.

As you gaze at the Circle, affirm that harmful leaks and open holes are closing up completely. See it happening in your mind’s eye.

“All holes are healed and sealed.”

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

Step Fourteen:

Finally, you’re in a place where you can successfully surround your Self with a sphere of courage, strength and protection. Shamans call this a “ring of fire”.

With it, you feel safer and more confident with every breath. 

“I am surrounded and filled with strength, courage and determination.”

Give yourself permission to rest and restore your wholeness before you move on from this exercise. Then, in your own time and in your own way, you can gently return to conscious awareness.

Congratulations! Now is a good time to take a nice walk outside or do something completely different!

Grounding in the Truth and Your Power

A Mind Exercise for Grounding In The Truth ~

Grounding in the Truth

Many people realize how important grounding in the truth is because external power struggles can so easily uproot us from the truth about what’s best for us.

Staying centered requires that you know how to use the power of your mind to control your own energy.

To find out if this Mind Exercise can help you, gaze at the symbol in this picture for a moment and ask:

  •  Are you having difficulty getting and staying grounded?
  •  Do you feel caught up in a power struggle?
  •  Do you need to disconnect from a meddling or intrusive person?
  •  Are you feeling trapped by other peoples agendas?
  •  Have you been wasting energy on the past?
  •  Are you worrying or fearful about the future?
  •  Is it hard to think straight or get dependable guidance?

Here’s how Grounding in the Truth works:

Put both feet flat on the floor and start with your arms and legs uncrossed. Simply gaze softly at the images while you repeat the affirmations that go with them for several minutes. Relax and breathe. Here’s an example:

“I reclaim and balance my five senses.”

“I use them to be present and aware so that I can actualize my Soul’s purpose.”

“I use them to help me protect myself and resolve my concerns appropriately.”

“I am aware of what’s most important.”

 

In times of difficulty CONFLICT or CONTRADICTION, your energy might feel very jagged or erratic. Take a moment to smooth things out with this Correction Key.

You will probably feel a lot of energy moving – that’s all right. It just means that the Circles are working to focus your mind and clean up your energy.

You will know you’re done when the energy calms down and you can begin to feel the energy of your Soul coming through. Then you can move on to the remaining Circles with each of their affirmations to complete the process.

Once you’re done, remember to relax and allow your energy to settle.


Mind Body Integration

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

Feel free to move at anytime in any way to help you embody your experience!


Step One: Establish a strong intention stated in the positive.

You might want to write it down. Examples:

“I maintain my integrity and am true to myself.”

“I gather my resources to be successful in my current endeavors.”

“I disengage from this power struggle.” etc.

“I ________________.”

Step Two – Integrity

Strengthen your resolve by detaching from harmful sub-conscious distractions:

“I stop wasting my energy on lies, harmful agendas, mind games and no win situations.”

“I stop feeding unproductive projects and inappropriate people.”

“I let go of subconscious agreements to tap into other people’s energy or to allow them to tap into mine.”

 

Step Three ~ Self-determination

Engage with your potential and bring it into positive balance. Breathe deeply with these affirmations: 

“I open up to my positive potential.”

“I follow my own life path.” 

“I bring ease and flow into my true life’s path.”

 

Step Four – Soul Guidance

Continue to relax with your breath and affirm to yourself:

“I reclaim the energy, power and gifts of my Soul.”

“I use them to be present and alert.”

“I integrate them to create my Soul’s true purpose.”

 

Step Five – Centering

Bring your awareness and vibe to your heart center and keep breathing:

“I am centered and my energy radiates out.”

“I open to my inner guidance and am present with it.”

“I connect my heart center to Love, joy and gratitude.”

“My core is protected and my energy is my own.”

 

Step Six – Balance

Take all the time you need with the Earth Chakra Key until you feel stable and balanced. See if you can still feel your Soul Vibration.

“My feet are firmly planted on the Earth.”

“I slow down and step carefully.”

“I am present and grounding in the truth.”

Grounding in the Truth

 

Step Seven: Direction

As you move forward, what is the Truth about what’s next?
Are you positioned correctly?
Is something blocking you or are you blocking yourself?
Are you in someone else’s way?
Are you using the kind of emotions or energies that will take you where you want to go?

 

Step Eight – Truth

Empower yourself to make the necessary changes:

”I exist. What I say and do matters.”

“I am empowered to create and maintain healthy boundaries.”

“My life is my own.”

“I am empowered to maintain my own Soul’s purpose and path.”

Step Nine: Integration

To help you integrate, gaze softly at this symbol with these affirmations:

“I close down all harmful energy channels.”

You’ll know that the harmful channels are closed when the emotional chaos and mental chatter stops. Once that happens, confirm:

“I allow myself to receive generative life force and connect with life affirming channels of communication.”

Cross and uncross your hands over the midline of your body as many times as you like until the transformation feels complete.

 

Step Eight: To Each Their Own

Gracefully release all issues, karma and emotional baggage that don’t belong with you:

“I surrender other people’s issues, emotions and karma so I can uncross my own path.”

Once that feels complete, call back what genuinely belongs with you:

“I set things right so that I may move forward in peace.”

 

Step Ten: Completion

Close off the doors and pathways that lead you away from your Soul’s intended path. While gazing at the Circle, imagine any holes or pathways that might have come open during this meditation. They are the ones that are finished and you are done with.

“All completed holes and pathways are healed and sealed.”

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

Congratulations! Your energy is more your own and you’ll have a much easier time staying grounded now. Remember, a person whose energy is balanced and grounded benefits everyone. Be sure to take some time to relax and rest.
