Trauma Resolution and Self-care
Rheanni Lightwater is an author and creator of the Intuitive Learning Circles, a unique method for teaching self-care and trauma resolution.
Energy Medicine for Self-care and Trauma Resolution
As a Reiki educator and medical intuitive, Rheanni Lightwater 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.
Rheanni has herself, also experienced recurring episodes of post traumatic stress and learning disabilities resulting from traumatic early life situations. From early childhood and on into her adult life, she suffered from dyslexia, fixated shock and poor concentration. Her mind would often become overwhelmed and anxiety attacks were frequent and debilitating.
She has made it her life’s work to find a way to bridge the gap between the limited life trauma survivor’s live and the life they dream of having. At the beginning of her journey, the books all said that victims of trauma and abuse could never fully recover and that they would at best, just learn to live with it. She has never been willing to settle for that answer.
She has pursued every modality available to her, 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.
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, Rheanni has developed hundreds of healing symbols that she’s integrated with the Intuitive Learning Circles. Over the years, a variety of applications have been researched in medical clinics, detox centers, business settings, workshops, schoolrooms, online classes and in individual sessions.
As a result, Rheanni 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 provide an interactive educational experience that effectively shifts negativity and 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 conducted intuitive trainings with many 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.

What the EXPERTS say about SOS – Soul Oriented Solutions:
“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

How Well Are You Nourishing Yourself?
Evaluate How You’re Nourishing Yourself in the New Paradigm ~
Kuan Yin has been helping us through these I Ching Readings to transition from the old economic paradigm based on greed and fear to a new paradigm of co-operation and balanced prosperity. Today, her advice about NOURISHING comes from the I Ching, an ancient book of divination that follows the flow of the cosmos. Because of that, her advice and instruction comes from a different perspective than ours.
To help you better connect with her assistance, she uses the Intuitive Learning Circles to communicate with you through meditation, positive affirmations and visualization. Here’s an example that could help you tune into how your nourishing yourself:
“I reclaim and balance my five senses.”
“I focus them to be aware of my own body and how I’m taking care of myself.”
“I gain clear awareness of what beneficial energies and actions could nourish me in present time.”
“I become aware of blockages and new ways to remedy them.”
MIND BODY INTEGRATION
For best results playing a Transformation Game, look at each Circle both crossed over the midline of the body and uncrossed so that the correction is more complete.
Kuan Yin’s I Ching Readings and Transformation Games can help you to identify problems, change your focus to positive solutions, ground yourself and get in the present. Simply relax and gaze at the Circles while contemplating Kuan Yins words. Your intuition will come forward and give you the help that you seek.
Welcome to the I Ching Reading and Transformation Game for: Hexagram # 27 – Nourishing
Did you know that your body knows a lot about what it needs and how well you’re nourishing yourself?
Part One: Physical and Emotional Nourishment
For example, your Second Chakra is deeply connected to your emotions, your digestion and immunity. It has a lot of information about how you’re NOURISHING yourself on these levels and what you might do to improve. However, during times of high stress or illness, communication can get blocked from your conscious awareness, making it hard to hear what your body is trying to tell you. Take a moment and relax with this Reiki Chakra Key for your Second Chakra to help you tune in and listen. Use the affirmations if they help or come up with one of your own.
“I allow free flowing, life affirming energy to nourish my Second Chakra.”
“I intend to get clear information about my health and how well I’m nourishing myself.”
There are several ways that the Second Chakra can get blocked. One is inappropriate nourishment. Perhaps you’re eating the wrong foods for you at this time or you could be taking in toxic elements from your environment, including pollution, chemicals, electro-magnetics, illness or other harmful energies.
See if this Circle can help you bring your awareness in to check for those energies. Yes or no, are you picking up:
Any foods that are causing problems?
A problem in the water you’re drinking?
Something in the air that you’re breathing?
Disturbing frequencies, electro-magnetics, chemicals, illness or
other harmful energies?
Make notes for yourself so that you don’t forget and can do some research.
You may need to clear your primary chakras of harmful electro-magnetic frequencies. If so, go here>
You may be having a problem because you’re not yet fully grounded in the New Paradigm based on Common Ground for the Common Good. Meditate gently on the template below to help yourself get acclimated and aligned with this new mindset. 
There might be some kind of karmic entanglement, an emotional conflict or outright danger in your environment. Could any of those issues be present for you right now?
Could you be trying to process somebody else’s emotions?
If so, ask yourself a few pertinent questions:
What would be the purpose in processing someone else’s emotions?
Is continuing to nourish yourself in this way a good idea?
How long has it been going on?
How much damage has been done?
Are you ready and willing to put a stop to it now?
Your Second Chakra could also get blocked if you’re over-indulging in something that’s generally good for you when taken in moderate amounts.
To better determine if something like that is happening with you, experiment with Sloth, one of our favorite Intuitive Learning Circles for slowing down and focusing on what’s really important. Use this medicine to focus in on how you are nourishing yourself.
“I slow down and turn my attention towards my basic needs.”
So, How Are You Currently Seeing Your Needs?
You can use Maslov’s Hierarchy of Needs as a model to help you assess your priorities. Are they in balance?
The triangle may be upside down, distorted or out of focus. The levels could be out of order or a level could be missing entirely. It might not even seem that it fits at all! Use the symbol to the upper right corner of the pyramid to help you set things right.
“I set things right so that how I nourish myself physically and emotionally actually fits my current needs.”
You may need to change some agreements about how you prioritize your needs. For example, you might have an unconscious agreement to sacrifice your health or wellbeing for others. Or, you may have a tendency to cut yourself off from genuinely helpful people and resources. Of course, you may choose to do that. However, it’s a different matter if you’re inadvertently harming yourself against your will! Visualize any agreements that contradict your highest good burning up in a beautiful violet flame.
“I release all agreements to revert back to the past or harmful ways of being.”
“I let go of martyrdom or sacrificing any part of my health or wellbeing.”
“I decide to connect with genuine help and find better ways to take care of myself.”
Make other new agreements that would be helpful to you now…
“It would benefit me to ______________.”
Please note: There have been a lot of changes in the general energy and in how we need to adapt to it. Old ways of functioning are passing out of existence and other, more beneficial ways need to be strengthened. This is a good time to release your agreements with those old ways as well…
“I release all agreements to nourish or support the patriarchal imprint of control, hatred, exploitation and inequality.”
“I decide to strengthen and nourish the Common Good based on Common Ground.”
“I close down harmful energy channels that drain my vitality, like no win situations, assumptions and diminishing returns.”
“My mind and body are open and clear to receive generative life force.”
“I release all agreements to source from or attach to the channel of fear, greed and revenge.”
“I now source from and integrate with Joy and Gratitude.”
Now that you’ve made those updates, you’re ready to continue…
Evaluate How You Are Nourishing Yourself.
Now that your priorities are clearer, you can get more accurate information about how to nourish yourself. If you follow the directions, you can get all kinds of answers that could really help out. All you have to do is relax and gaze softly at the center open space of this Circle while you ask yourself a few questions.
Use a scale of one to ten to evaluate what’s going on (one being lousy and ten being great!). Be sure to listen to your body and be receptive to the answers that come.
Use a scale of “One to Ten”:
“How am I nourishing myself nutritionally? Am I taking in too much of something? Is there something I’m not getting enough of? Is there something I need to put some LIMITATIONS on?
What about how I’m emotionally nourishing myself?
What about nourishing my spiritual connection?
Am I giving myself positive, helpful mental input?
How well am I taking care of my body’s needs for exercise, rest, fresh air?”
Use this Symbol to Consciously Bring in Your Soul’s Unique Energy Signature.
“I relax and align myself with the true signature and imprint of my Soul.”
“I clear away imprints that obscure who I really am, like old graffiti markings.”
“I recognize my true signature, just as I recognize my signature on a document.”
Continue Your Evaluation and Consciously Put Together a New Awareness.
Bring together the puzzle pieces that come directly from your Soul. For help, ask yourself:
“Am I missing anything? What could I really use?”
“What do I need to do to put this all together?”
“What is the best way to proceed?”
Keep crossing and uncrossing your arms or legs until some clear guidance comes. Also, make a note of it so that you don’t forget.
Complete Part One:
Energetically Clear Out Your 2nd Chakra.
Take all the time you need.
“I clear out any unwanted or harmful energies.”
“I give myself an energy boost!”
Connect with New, Life Affirming Channels of Communication.
Install this symbol like a sort of filter for the Second Chakra.
“I adapt to the generative flow of chi’ available
in the New Paradigm to the best of my ability.”
“I close down harmful energy channels from the past.”
“I connect to new, life affirming channels of communication.”
Congratulations! You’ve just set the stage to let go of harmful energies and emotions and begin moving in the direction of NOURISHING yourself appropriately. Be sure to take time to rest and integrate this process. Take a walk or get out into nature if you can!
In this first part, we’ve aimed to clear things up enough for you to get a general picture of how you’re nourishing yourself and what you need to do to improve your experience.
In the Part 2 we’re going to take a look at how some of your projects are nourishing you!

Resolving Shock and Confusion
This self-care formula from RESOLVE uses the Intuitive Learning Circle method for resolving shock.
Many 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 this Reiki Chakra Key for your rational senses 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 turn my attention to life affirming actions that benefit my well-being and happiness.”
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. 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 the Circle for Condor Medicine 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.
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, visualize ice melting under the heat of the Sun. 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 River Medicine 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 with renewed clarity. My senses are balanced.”
“I have a clear sense of 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, Mother Nature and the Common Good.
If you gently meditate on this image, you can begin to connect with an environment aligned with Nature that includes room for equality, peaceful co-operation and balanced prosperity.
Step Four:
Relax with this symbol for Divine Protection 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 past traumas so you can get fully present and grounded in the Common Good. 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 positive 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 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 while you let go of toxic debris. Let it repair itself.
“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.”
“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 feels 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.”
Notice what is to the right of you and the left of you. Then look above and below.
Where are you?
Stretch or move in whatever way helps you feel good and more present in your body. 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 Nature correctly, which puts you back in the flow.
Being in a balanced flow with Nature 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. You may need to let go of certain intentions or expectations from the past in order to reduce confusion going forward.
Use Mapacho Tobacco Medicine to identify and remove old prayers that are no longer appropriate for you to hold or send energy to.
Clear away any outdated commitments, agendas or societal motives that are harmful to your health, prosperity and happiness. Remember when you heal yourself, you help to heal the world.
Once they’re gone, what new intentions will you want to set or strengthen?
Step Eleven:
There may also be negative or outdated plans, blueprints and habitual patterns that are dangerous to your wellbeing. 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’s causing problems.
Actively imagine that the negative patterns in your mind are like heavy clouds or a jumbled maze of fears, dead ends and cages.
With an attitude of forgiveness, release those patterns into the pure light of the Sun and let it dissolve the maze entirely.
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: It’s time to stop sending 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 set right any harmful karma that you may still be carrying.
Use Seed Medicine to 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.
Once the karma is where it belongs, you can apply it appropriately and plant new seeds for healthier, happier outcomes.
Step Thirteen:
When one door closes, another can open. Let Piranha Medicine 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. Jaguar Medicine calls 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 affirm your wholeness before you move on from this exercise. Then, in your own time and in your own way, you can gently return to your everyday awareness.
Congratulations! Now is a good time to take a nice walk outside or do something completely different!

Self Love: A Quiz on Self-care
Are You Showing Up For Yourself? A Self Love Quiz & Self-care Alignment
The world is filled with advice about how to do this and that. How to find love… how to be happy… what you need to wear… how you need to look. The advertising in the media has an agenda and unconsciously you know what it is: “You’re not good enough as you are – buy our product and you will instantly be fixed!”
Your own mind may be constantly fussing about the past – what you did or didn’t do – or you may be worrying about the future. Especially lately, it’s all too easy to get caught up in external dramas and ignore how important it is to stay grounded and keep our mind’s calm.
In times like this it’s obvious that what most people really need and want is love. But how can we get there? The way that seems to work best is to remind ourselves through self love. Unfortunately, we often forget to show up for ourselves and in the process, we miss out on what we want the most!
You can take this short self love quiz that uses Angelic guidance and your Essential Self to help remind you that you are a being of Love.
All you need to do is gaze softly at each symbol while you read the affirmation or question that goes with it.
Begin by Asking for Help from Angelic Beings of Light.
Imagine that you can ask them: “Please, help me slow down and understand how to love myself better…
When it comes to ________ am I showing up for myself?”
The answer you get may be “yes,” “no,” “sometimes” or “not lately.”
Continue your inquiry using this Mandala from Kuan Yin to help you access truthful information:
“Do I often show up more for others than I do for myself?”
“Do I easily get caught up in deceit, dramas and confusion?”
“Do I include myself in the equation of creating Love?”
“If I show up more for others than myself a lot, what is my purpose in doing so?
If I get caught up in other people’s agenda’s, deceit, dramas or confusion a lot, what is my purpose in doing that?”
“Am I doubling down on harmful habits or mistaken ideas? Is that helping me? How much energy do I use doing these things? How much do I lose?
Is that really the best thing for everyone in the long run?”
Are you ready to realign your energy to include what’s best for you? If so, that is self love! Ask your angels to help you fill your Self with strength and courage to love yourself better. Imagine that with every breath, you are filling up with love and light. Here’s a couple of positive affirmations that could help:
“I am important. When I am grounded and love myself, I am grounding Love on the planet.”
With this Reiki Chakra Key, become aware of your solar plexus – the soft area in front just below where your ribs go up.
This is the area where your Essential Self is properly positioned.
In stressful times, it’s pretty common for the Essential Self to get closed off, misplaced or dissociated.
Gazing gently at the Key will help your Essence get re-connected, centered and balanced.
See if you can relax that area and allow positive energy to flow into it with this affirmation:
“I am present and included in the equation of creating Love.”
If you do Reiki, you can send it like a bull’s eye – right to the center of this Circle and your solar plexus.
If there are aspects of your Essential Self that aren’t present or receiving Love, ask for numbers between 1 – 42 from The Essential Human to call them back and center them in your Solar Plexus Chakra.
Now gently look at this symbol and ask your Essential Self:
“Is there something I need to think, do, change or have that would help me to attract more love into my life?”
Whatever your answer to that question is, imagine that you can connect with that truth – like the lines that are connecting in with the center of this symbol for Divine Connection:
“I connect my Essence with truthful channels of communication.”
“I have protection. Harmful energy channels from the past are closing down.”
Are there any remaining blockages? If so, ask if any numbers between 1 – 73 from Divine Nature Activated would help to clear them.
“I clear away epigenetic patterns that block my experience of Self Love.”
Now you can redirect how you’re using your energy. These positive affirmations will help you:
“I am ready and able to receive the Love that emanates from my Soul.
I am a being of Love. I am part of the equation. I am part of the solution.
I allow myself to receive the benefits of sending Love out into the world.”
If you are a member of our learning community, you might want to get extra assistance from Gifts from the Rainforest. If that’s the case, choose a number between 1 – 58 and click through to get guidance from that plant, animal or nature medicine.
Sit back and relax a moment – allow yourself to receive what you need most. Imagine what it would feel like if you allowed Love to move freely through your being – through your life – like a gentle wind. Let your Essential Self daydream as long as you want.
Now imagine that your Angels are surrounding you with courage, strength and determination to be the very best that you can be!
Finish your self love quiz by imagining you’re facing the Sun and radiating the benefit of its life-giving, positive rays.
“I decide to follow my Inner Light and Divine Guidance.”
Finish by making sure that your auras are strong and focused.
“My auric field is strong and organized to radiate self-love and ________.”
Now you’re ready to ask questions again:
“Am I showing up for myself?
Do I Love who I am? Am I receiving Love?
Am I able to radiate Love out into the world?”
If the answer is “yes,” congratulations…
If the answer is “sometimes,” you’re making progress…
If the answer is “no,” decide to begin today. It’s never too late!

It’s the energy plexus where emotions, digestion and immunity all come together. When it gets out of balance or entangled with toxic pollutants, your physical, emotional and spiritual health can be impacted in very negative ways.
Gaze softly at the Reiki Chakra Key below to help you balance and gather up physiological information that will organize your space in a way that will promote your health and safety.
The internal environment of your second chakra is very important to your self-care and emotional healing.
If it becomes stagnant, goes into shock or gets caught up in emotional entanglements, your physical, emotional and spiritual health suffers. In today’s environment, that’s something many of us are experiencing.
When it’s balanced and healthy, it transmits a vibrant orange energy that is hopeful and attracts belonging and support.
It’s also your creative center, the place where you generate your personal mana or creative energy.
This simple feng shui exercise is designed to help you go within and come up with important resources for staying healthy.
When you’re ready, pull out a piece of paper and something to write with so you can make notes as we go along…
Creating Internal Safety is part of SOS Navigating Loss and Compassion Fatigue ~
Your environment is very important to your emotional health. It gives you a sense of belonging and support. It also gives you a place to center yourself and be grounded in. If you’re not experiencing that where you are now, you can do something about it or at least open up to some helpful possibilities.
Oftentimes implementing very simple changes can make a world of difference. Good questions to ask yourself about your space would be:
- Do you feel safe?
- Does it feel peaceful?
- Can you have fun, relax & be comfortable?
- Are people getting along well?
- Is it orderly & convenient?
- Is the atmosphere welcoming, warm & cheerful?
- Do you sense an openness or flexibility to grow & expand?
- Does it feel healthy?
Go through this mind exercise by reading each step and then gazing softly at the Circle that goes with it to gain insight about what creative changes you can make in your internal and/or external environment that will help you.
In Creating Internal Safety, you’ll be utilizing your intuitive insight to implement very simple changes that can make a world of difference in how you’re creating stability and safety in your personal space. You’ll discover that your intuition and unconscious mind are much more aware of what’s going on than you realize!
Step One: The goal of Creating Internal Safety is for you to get clarity about how well your personal space is supporting you and what you can do to make improvements. You might get insights about your body or your external environment. After all, they are connected and this is an important time to become aware of them.
First, take some time to slow down while you gaze softly at the Circle for Sloth Medicine. Breathe in and out several times. Drop your shoulders. Relax your jaw.
Move around and stretch if you need to.
Once you’re feeling relaxed, bring to mind the space that you’re inquiring about. Imagine that it’s moving in slow motion.
Step Two: Next, shift your attention to your own body, imagine you can see the space within your Second Chakra (remember, that’s located about 2″ below your navel).
Zoom in, like a camera. See or sense it moving in slow motion.
What do you notice?
Go ahead and make notes about what you sense.
As you journal, interesting ideas and impressions will come to you.
Step Three: In response to sudden challenges we’ve experienced in our environment, let’s use one of our Soul Star Keys to repair any damage due to pollutants, smoke, viral or destructive energies, which could cause reversals, allergic reactions, addictions, deformations, reversals and misdirections.
Let this symbol help you make corrections. Relax and sense your overall energy. If it feels jagged or disjointed, stay with it until your energy smooths out.
“I repair the glitches, holes and blockages in my chakra system.”
Do this both crossed and uncrossed over the midline of your body.
Step Four: Since you’ve cleared your internal energy up a bit first, now you can get a better awareness of your external environment.
Feeling safe is a major priority. Innocent happenings such as loud noises, flashing lights, repetitive motion or high frequencies can cause unpleasant reactions in you without your being consciously aware of them.
Gaze at this Soul Prayer Chart for Divine Grace and ask for help so you can get more aware.
Let’s start with very simple questions that we take one at a time…
- Is there anything in your personal space or immediate environment that could be triggering an unsettling reaction in you? Is anything irritating?
- Is there a flashing light? Sudden movements?
- A sound? Are there disturbing frequencies?
- Are toxic influences present? Anything else?
Step Five: You could be preoccupied by other things that are causing you to be anxious. You may be reorganizing your work/living arrangements or in the middle of a move or repairs. Let Butterfly Medicine help you relax and answer questions about how you need to nurture yourself now, under your current circumstances.
Are you tapping into nurturing, beneficial energies? If not, take a few moments with the Circle to help you do that.
Is there any clutter or something to let go of that would help ease the situation? Are there any pockets of negativity or stagnant energy?
If so, what is it and where is it located? Does something need to be added?
Is there anything else?
Step Six: Physical objects in your environment carry a lot of energy through them, especially if they’ve been gifted to you or are second hand pieces.
These could be books, equipment, furniture, pictures and other objects of art.
Electric Eel Medicine can help you scan for sharp or conflicting energies.
Are there any objects in your home or office that are having a disturbing or negative effect on you? If so, can you identify them?
What would remedy the situation?
Does something need to be moved, rearranged, cleaned or removed completely?
Can something be brought in that would remedy the situation?
Step Seven: Since our recent transition out of the Piscean Age of Water into the Aquarian Age of Air, a new, generative form of life energy (chi’) has become available for us to use. Take several moments now to meditate on this symbol for you and your environment. Do that as often as you need to.
These positive affirmations will help:
“I access Divine Protection and close down all harmful energy channels left over from the past.”
My mind is open and clear to receive generative life force through the Element of Air.”
Step Eight: Now is a good time to check back in with your body. Take a minute and use Yarrow Medicine to tune into yourself:
What emotion(s) are running through you? Does that throw you off balance?
Is that dynamic helpful or harmful to you?
Step Nine: If it’s harmful, you might be internalizing an emotional complex – a compulsion, attitude, obsession or phobia from the collective unconscious.
If that’s happening, go through this short sequence to let it go. First, call on Chigger Medicine to release your agreement to carry it any longer.
Let the energetic structure for it collapse and then visualize expelling all that negative energy and emotions up to the Light.
There could be more than one. Check both crossed and uncrossed over the midline of your body to get them all.
You might want to burn a smudge stick or palo santo to uplift and purify the space. Read more about that by following the link at the end of this exercise.
Step Ten: Are there any other old habits or misunderstandings that need to be deconstructed? If so, imagine them collapsing in on themselves so any drains to your personal energy are being shut down.
Once they’re closed down, use this Circle to fill in the holes with loving, life affirming energy!
“I fill in the leftover void with healthy, life affirming energy.”
Step Eleven: Now you can turn your attention back to your external environment. Is there anything else about it that’s irritating you?
Identify it if you can.
What will remedy the situation?
Do you need to pull your energy back from external situations or disappointing events from the past?
Are you inadvertently tapping into harmful or distracting energies?
If so, use Wasp”s Circle to pull your energy back and close off destructive energies.
Is there anything else about that?
Step Twelve: The River Otter wants to know if there’s anything that you could bring into your space that would help you be happier, more hopeful or more creative?
Would anything increase your good health, emotional stability or physical security?
Could anything be done to increase your experience of prosperity?
What might you add that would bring more beauty into your space?
What vision or experience would you like to project out into the world?
Is there anything else you need to know?
Step Thirteen: You can finish the game today by closing the energetic doors that might keep you open to the suffering of the past and the old paradigm.
Piranha Medicine reminds you that your personal space belongs to you and how you take care of it has a profound effect on your health and the rest of your life!
Congratulations! Be sure to thank yourself for taking the time to go through Creating Internal Safety – a gift that will make your life a whole lot better!
Now is a good time to take a walk or go out into Nature to help this all integrate.
