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 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.
The second reason would be that the person has placed too much of their unconscious attention and energy on a certain problem or goal that is unrealistic or cannot be accomplished under the current circumstances.
The third reason why a person would need overwhelm help would be that the way forward has become obscured. The circumstances are dark, dim, unclear or hard to understand.
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.
All of these reasons have a negative effect on your health and can cause dysfunction in your subtle energy fields – especially your auras.
What are auras & why might they need overwhelm help?
Your auras are invisible layers of protection surrounding your body in its subtle energy field. Keeping your auric field healthy is important because it provides protection, autonomy and helps to maintain healthy boundaries.
Unfortunately, an energy collapse or “cascade” can come on unexpectedly in people who are overwhelmed by sudden emotional or environmental changes, toxic entanglements or triggered PTSD episodes. When a collapse happens, all energy systems (in the subtle energy fields) go into a sudden reversed pattern. The auras that protect the body collapse, the central meridian that feeds the brain reverses the direction its flowing in and all other systems go into life support mode – running only essential systems on emergency energy.
During an energy collapse, a person could experience:
- Sudden and extreme exhaustion.
- 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 this collapsed fight or flight state for long. If the condition is left uncorrected, the stage is set for depression, illness or paranoia to set in. If these symptoms are already present, they will increase during an energy cascade.
Fortunately, the five Self-care Formulas listed below are designed to help “reboot” energy collapses and other forms of overwhelm when they happen. 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 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 look 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 collapse?
If “yes”, which formula will help me & strengthen my auras? 1, 2, 3, 4 or 5?”
Whatever number comes to mind, go to that formula and read what it’s about. If it fits, click on the link and follow the directions.
Each formula is designed to gently lead you back into balance using positive affirmations and images that will help you recover.
1. Healing Emotional Shock:
This self-care formula uses the Intuitive Learning Circle method for getting your mind, body and emotions “unstuck” from a recent traumatic experience and you are:
~ Feeling stuck, numb, lost or helpless
~ Caught in a blank or fixed state of mind
~ Waking up at night worried, with obsessive thoughts
~ Alternately feeling trapped and shattered.
2. Resolving Shock During Traumatic Events:
This self-care formula uses the Intuitive Learning Circles to resolve shock when your life has been upended and you are:
~ Feeling scattered, surprised, scared or vulnerable
~ Dealing with an environmental disaster or its aftermath
~ Reliving painful experiences
~ Having trouble thinking or planning clearly.
3. SOS for Stabilizing After a Traumatic Event:
Use this PTSD self-care formula when you are:
~ Feeling lost, hopeless or out of balance
~ Anxious or upset due to a traumatic experience
~ Weakened and want to regain your strength
~ Triggered by body memories of a traumatic event
~ Having a flashback or out of body experience.
4. Clearing an Overwhelmed Mind:
Use this formula when you’re overwhelmed by day to day stresses and feeling:
~ Exhausted, overwhelmed or confused
~ Out of balance
~ Taking on too much – doing too much
~ Going too fast and need to slow down.
5. Self-care for Loss in Uncertain Times:
You can use this formula like a prayer whenever you are:
~ Stressed over a lost job or income
~ Grieving a loss of any kind
~ Recovering from an abusive experience – past or present
~ Dealing with a serious or long-term illness
~ Preparing for surgery
~ Coming to terms with tragedy, loss or death.
SOS Overwhelm Help offers you support at any time
of the day or night ~
The self-care formulas from SOS Soul Oriented Solutions gently interrupt
unhealthy brain activity and then replace it with constructive thoughts and energy flow.
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.
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 field flows properly 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. Or, 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.
To help out, I’d like to share this brief formula that uses positive affirmations and the Intuitive Learning Circles. You can use it whenever you are:
- 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 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 that I can feel calmer and more 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 help you tap into your heart center. It helps to put both feet flat on the floor and place your hands on your heart while you gaze at the symbol. Here’s a a couple of suggested affirmations:
“I am filled with compassion for the suffering of myself and others.”
“I open my heart to courage and the possibility of healing.”
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. Focus in on 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.”
You might want to journal some of your thoughts so that you can speak with a trusted counselor or friend about what comes up. If so, get out some paper and something to write with as you go through the steps.
Finally, it takes energy to manifest. You may have the feeling that your energy is being drained right out of you. Relax and gaze softly at this Circle. Let it help you close the drains that are exhausting you.
“I shut down all drains that are causing me to lose energy.’
Now you’re ready to begin the main part of your exercise.

Feel free to move at anytime in any way to help you embody your experience!
Self-care for Loss
Step One: Asking for Help
Breathe in deeply, all the way to your belly while you look at this Circle.
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 this Circle and imagine you can send your breath to it.
Step Two – Support
Imagine that you can bring healing and release into all parts of your body, mind and spirit while you continue to breathe.
Step Three ~ Peace
What do you think is the main difficulty or burden you’re dealing with right now?
Are you ready to let go of that burden 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.
Remember to do that both crossed and uncrossed.
Step Five – Soul Vision
Consider what your life could be without this difficulty. What would it be like if those 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 Six – Remove Your Burdens
Imagine that you can send all those burdens to where ever they need to go to resolve themselves. Feel the heaviness lifting up and off of you.
You have done the best that you can under the circumstances.
Step Seven: Inner Guidance
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 to help heal the situation. Is there something that Love would tell you to do?
Ask to be instructed by Love as you continue along your journey.
Step Eight – Balance
Breathe again.
Feel a calmness coming over you.
You feel calmer and calmer with every breath.
Step Nine – Cleansing
Send away any illness, pain or fear that you’re experiencing. Send it to the Sun or wherever it needs to go to heal.
Step Ten – Comfort
Continue to let go and allow your energy to repair itself.
It is not necessary to hold on to any worries, tension or negativity.
Step Eleven: Divine Connection
Fill yourself with strength and the knowledge that you are loved.
You are filled with a Divine Connection to your Spirit.
Step Twelve: 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 will always be.
Let this healing be sealed with Love and Light.
Step Thirteen: Divine Blessings
Let yourself rest now. You might feel tired or sad. That’s okay. It means that you’re feeling safe enough to really let go and rest.
Your mind is open and clear to receive healing and generative life force.
Some 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.

Grounding in the Truth and Your Power
A Mind Exercise for 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 Six Step 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 Souls 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 difficult transition, 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, that means 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 think clearly. 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
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: Begin by accessing a strong connection with your Soul Resources.
We each have our own Soul vibration that amplifies our own autonomy, integrity and good health. Check how your connection is doing with this Soul Prayer Chart and these affirmations:
“I access my unique Soul Vibration for clear and true guidance.”
You’ll know it’s right if the “vibe” feels right in your solar plexus.
Step Two: 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.
Step Three – Resolve
Strengthen your resolve by detaching from harmful sub-conscious distractions. Gaze softly at this Key while affirming these thoughts:
“I detach from petty assumptions, ego concerns and things that don’t matter.”
“I disconnect from unproductive projects and inappropriate people.”
“I resolve to use my power wisely for what’s genuinely good for me.”
“I release all subconscious agreements to tap into other people’s energy or to allow them to tap into mine.”
Step Four ~ Self-determination
Connect to this Soul Chakra Key through your breath. See if you can bring in your Soul vibration for an even stronger connection. Then, continue with these affirmations:
“I reclaim all of my energy, power and gifts.”
“I use them to be present and alert.”
“I use them to create my Souls purpose.”
Step Five – Centering
Bring your awareness and vibe to your heart center and keep breathing:
“I am centered and my heart is strong.”
“The energy radiates out, helping me to let go of _________, anxiousness, pain, sorrow, etc.”
“I know what’s important and how to nourish my heart and Soul.”
“I maintain healthy boundaries. My life is my own.”
Step Six- Grounding
Take all the time you need with the Earth Chakra Key until you feel stable and calm. 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 connected with and grounded in the truth.”
“I am ___________________________.”
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.
The following extra-intuitive activities aren’t required, but they can really help you excel in creating the very best of your talents, interests and passions…
