Befriending Animal Spirits

Messages from the Animal Spirits

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

Animal Spirits from Gifts from the Rainforest1. Animal Spirits – the animals are our partners in creating an abundant and peaceful life.

By observing their behavior and the role they play in their environment, we can learn to adapt and make the most of the circumstances we find ourselves in.

Ask: What do you need to adapt to in your situation? 

What are the animals in your life communicating to you?

Healing Action: It’s time to take ownership over your communications. Adapt to your circumstances. Befriend the animal world and your own animal nature. 


Invoking the Animal Spirits

Long ago in the Garden of Eden
the animals walked with us in peace and cooperation.
We were given healthy dominion over them,
and prosperity was there for all.
Much of the civilized world has forgotten
this ancient partnership, yet the animals still remember.
We can remember too.
Listen.
Watch.
Animal messages are everywhere.
Ask that the animal spirits teach, assist, and guide us
in all aspects of our lives so that we may move forward
into the abundant lives we were created for.

Animal medicine indicates that better communication will improve the situation you are dealing with now. Scattered or disjointed communication, whether written or verbal, comes out of scattered and disjointed thinking. It’s time to simplify and get to the bare truth of the matter.
Or
You may be ignoring subtle forms of communication, such as body language or events that keep repeating themselves. Missed communication is probably holding up the works somewhere. Consider the possibility that your priorities might be out of order.
Examine the following steps to effective communication. If any step is missing in regard to your current circumstance, look at the Circle to help you gain more clarity and get back on track.

1. Form a clear idea.
2. Focus your ability to focus on that idea without distractions.
3. Find the purpose – what you want to accomplish with this idea.
4. Be flexible to expand or refine the idea.
5. Be able to visualize the finished product or result.
6. Prioritize what is important about the idea and its purpose.
7. Make a decision to do it or not.
8. Follow through on the decision.
9. Achieve a satisfactory finished product.
10. Accept the responsibility for the communication.

Successful communication is the essence of being able to manifest your dreams in physical reality. Be aware that people will now listen to you with greater respect and cooperation.
Or
If you are hurting, especially from matters of the heart or even PTSD, working with animals or studying them would hold unusually potent healing.

Chigger Medicine

Stop Internalizing Negativity with Chigger Medicine

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

Chigger Medicine from Gifts from the Rainforest29. Chigger – chigger medicine reminds us to detach from whatever’s irritating us. When we can stop fighting with the negativity or attitudes of others, there’s nothing left to feed on.

Are you taking things personally?

Is something getting under your skin?

If so, what might help?

Healing Action: Decide that your reactions matter. Reject irritations without feeding the anger. Stop internalizing negativity, especially when it isn’t really about you.


Growing A Thick Skin

Chiggers are mites that dig under the skin and lay eggs.
They irritate and cause you to itch voraciously.
Unfortunately, the more you scratch –
the more they spread and the worse it gets.
Parasites of this sort come in many forms:
the gossiping neighbor next door,
the rebellious child,
the critical boss,
and the nagging mate.
It’s as if all they want is to get under your skin.
Anger and apathy only keeps the fire burning.
The way to handle parasitic people is to
cut them off from their fuel supply –
detach from your emotions.
Be firm, be courteous, agree with them
and hand them back their problems.
Without resistance, there’s nothing left for them to feed on.

Further Exploration into Chigger Medicine:

You are very easily irritated by your current circumstance. Irritation is like a fire that causes your energy to react destructively, giving you an excuse to lash out by blaming, arguing, gossiping or feeling sorry for yourself. It would be advisable for you to transform your irritation into an energy that will fuel your dreams instead of destroying them.

Chigger Medicine - Animal Totems
Chigger Medicine

Learn to be more quiet and peaceful when you fall out of balance. Stop whatever you are doing and take a deep breath. Take several, in fact. Look at Chigger’s Circle and ask your heart: “What is really irritating me about this?”

Then, stop focusing on the feeling of irritation and neutralize your energy as much as possible. Don’t let yourself get caught up in trying make things work the way you think they should. The time isn’t right to engage in a fight. It’s time to disengage from the need to be right.
Or
Irritations that return over and over again are there to remind you that something is a problem. Release any conditioning or agreements you may have to ignore the message or unknowingly internalize negativity. In this case, it’s worth it to just start writing or expressing whatever comes into your head. Don’t stop the flow of thoughts until they’re complete. More questions or irritations may come to the surface. Keep expressing yourself until you get to the bottom of what’s really burning you up.

If you can get to the place where you can finally accept and forgive, you’ll be able to let it go. Imagine that you can open yourself up and expel whatever is bugging you by sending that irritation up to the Light for transformation.

A Game – Handle Irritations Before They Handle You

  • Change destructive attitudes, habits and behaviors

  • Guided meditations to hear your inner guidance

Intuitive Guidance for Decisive Action

Rheanni Lightwater - Learn a Self-healing Modality
w/ Rheanni Lightwater

In Gifts from the Rainforest, there are 58 plant, animal and nature spirits that share their message with a focusing tool I call the Intuitive Learning Circles. These Circles have a hypno-therapeutic action that can help us sort out information and enhance our objectivity.

When your mind is all cluttered up with too many thoughts it can be hard to tell if something you want to do is really a good idea. Also, some ideas that are really important can get overlooked.

You Can Use the Circles to Ask About Specific Actions to Take ~

You might want to journal to keep track of the thoughts and ideas that come up with this exercise. You can go deeper through journaling or conversation with a therapist or like-minded group.

This kind of processing is a powerful resource that helps you to sort out your thoughts. Emotions can be felt and more easily released once they’re out of the head and put down on paper, which prevents overwhelm, anxiety and burnout.


Ask Your Intuitive Guidance About Specific Actions to Take ~

Slow down with #23 Sloth and pick one action that you’re considering doing at this time – i.e. taking a trip, starting a business, a project, etc.

 

If you’re all up in your head, use Dragonfly Medicine #31 to consciously bring your energy down into your solar plexus area and connect with your natural instincts and self-healing abilities.

Once you’ve done that, slow down even more!

 

Especially if you’ve been through a recent trauma, the stress of that experience might have shut down the energy in your Third Chakra, which happens to be located at your solar plexus. Take a a few minutes now to help yourself by allowing it to open up and relax.

 

Stop focusing on all that you’re trying to accomplish and take a few minutes to clear out your mind with #12 Rat Medicine.

When your mind starts racing and you’re too busy to stop and take a deep breath, you’re identifying with herd mentality from the collective ego. Catch yourself before your ego runs away completely!

Imagine you can sweep away all that extraneous clutter to the Light and close the doors behind you that let all that clutter in.
Then relax! Take several long, deep breaths – inhale and exhale.
Move around and stretch if that helps.

 

Once you feel more open and your mind has calmed down, gently bring your mind back to your original question using #36 Plant Spirits. What were you thinking of doing?

Notice how much better your body and mind feel when they have calmed down…

Now you’re ready to ask: How would taking that action nurture you?

~ Is the timing for it right?
~ Would doing it energize you, drain you or something else?
~ What is your impression of how it would actually feel to do that thing?
~ How would it affect others?

 

Dive deeper with #23 Divine Perspective from Soul Prayer Charts. A perspective from your Soul will help you expose potential sabotage and find your way forward in positive, productive ways.

Take the action that you’re considering and project it out into the future – what do you sense?

~ Does taking this action serve you on a Soul level?
~ Does it have purpose and meaning?
~ Would it be joyful?
~ What are the possibilities that could result from taking this action?
~ Are there certain steps or decisions that need to happen first?

 

Use #33 Llama and consider your proposed action again.

What effect would deciding to take this action have on your other priorities?

~ Are you willing to be flexible and follow inner guidance as you go?
~ Are there any new decisions you need to make about yourself?
Get all the gears in your mind moving together.
~ What decisions do you need to make about others?
If you need to, use the Circle to unstick those “stuck” gears and remove mental obstacles from your thinking process.

 

 

Intuitive Guidance for Setting Yourself Up for Success

#34 Butterfly will help you to consciously tap into the most beneficial energies and nourishment that would support your ability to make wise decisions and follow through with them successfully.

 

If you’ve decided that it isn’t a good idea for you, use #5 Wasp to pull your energy back from that possibility.

Perhaps your time would be better spent doing something else. If that’s the case, look to your intuition to follow a better plan.

 

Regardless of what you’ve decided, remember the Golden Mean and that what you put out comes back to you.

Confirm with #14 Otter that you are centered within yourself properly to put your highest good out there so that you can receive a reciprocal, beneficial response. 

Place your best intention in the center of his Circle like a bull’s eye. Send your energy to your highest good and then allow the energy to return to you. 

Congratulations! You’ve made yourself an active part of the equation.

 

Now, be sure you’re using your karma correctly for the best possible outcome.
Start by confirming that you’re using your own karma and not confusing your actions with some one else’s.
Next, confirm that the decision you’ve made is actually in your best interests. If it is, great – good to know!
Is it positioned correctly – in your own personal garden?

Finally, make sure you’ve included the karma you need to stay  grounded and keep your energy high enough so that you can easily rise above any misunderstandings, difficulties or miscommunications that may interfere with a successful follow through.
If you don’t have those intentions now, plant the seeds for them.

 

Tap into your Guardian Angel and Intuitive Guidance with Divine Grace from Soul Prayer Charts.

Is there anything else that you need to be aware of?

If there is, make a note of it.
Remember to stay open and ask for help in case you need to adapt to changing circumstances.

 

Now that you have answers from your intuitive guidance, take a moment to close off any harmful pathways or leaks in your energy field.

“All doors, holes or pathways that lead to suffering are sealed and healed.”
“I turn my attention in the direction of my Soul’s intention.”

Congratulations! Now is a good time to take a walk or go out into Nature to help this all integrate. Be prepared for new ideas and solutions to make their way towards you!

Please note: These Animal Totems can help you practice how you’re using your decisions to create better outcomes. However, your intention, whatever it may be, cannot be completed until you have followed through and taken action in the real, physical world.

Helpful Tips:

Did you remember to cross and uncross over the midline of your body?

Mind Body IntegrationWith practice, you will begin to intuitively “know” whether you need to cross or uncross. Give yourself permission to make a habit of this valuable skill.

Were you willing to play and be flexible with the Circles?

In this exercise and all the other sequences on this website, I’ve taken the time to create a general template that I hope will be helpful. However, self-healing is an individual process and your experience will be unique – differing even from one day to the next. That’s why it’s important to remember that your Soul is in charge!

With that in mind, you may be ready to begin your Animal Totem Tracks series.

If you feel you’re ready, go through this exercise again with that question in mind. Checking in with your Soul to evaluate your options is one of the best decisions you can make!

Parrot Medicine

Deflect Projections and Reflect the Positive with Parrot Medicine

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

Parrot Medicine from Gifts from the Rainforest

18. Parrot Medicine – knows how to handle inflammatory remarks and condemnation. By remaining calm in the face of emotional outbursts, we develop mastery over our minds and our reactions.

Is someone trying to get a reaction out of you?

Are you caught in a maze of projections?

Are you stuck on judgement and criticism? If so, what would help?

Healing Action: Stop taking things personally. Take control of your reactions. Get out of the way. Deflect interference from others by proactively rejecting their projections.


Parrot Wisdom

The wise parrot teaches us the best way to handle
inflammatory remarks and condemnation.
She simply looks us in the eye
and repeats back what we say word for word,
without emotion, judgement or attack.
When you find yourself in a situation
filled with vengeance, fear or victimization,
do not engage it, otherwise you will fuel it.
Remain objective and mirror back what is said
with compassion, truth and justice.
As humans, we are manipulated
and give away our power through our emotions.
Remain calm and learn from Parrot
by reflecting only the goodness and beauty
of your surroundings.

Parrot Medicine - Animal Totems
Parrot Medicine

You are taking what someone has said or done personally. Have you considered the possibility that your reaction was all they really wanted in the first place? What would happen if you didn’t respond the way they are expecting you to? What if you smiled or laughed or did nothing at all? You might be surprised at how fast they disappear or change their tune.
Or
Are you caught in an endless nightmare or repeating arguments? Instead of being paranoid or reactive, try being more proactive. Use Parrot’s Circle to imagine that the situation is like being in a maze or house of mirrors. Ask if there are particular emotions or conflicts that your mind is wrestling with. Once you have the mental construct or trap, release your agreement to perpetuate it. Then, consciously shatter the mirrors and deconstruct the trap. Clear it all away till there’s nothing left of it.
Or
You are allowing yourself to be victimized by someone else’s critical mind. Try going through these steps:

  1. Ask your heart, “What is this person showing me about myself that I don’t like?”
  2. If you feel you’re being criticized, ask, “What is really going on?”
  3. Notice that what you’re making up about about this interaction is probably worse than what is actually happening.
  4. Ask the Circle for advice about how to best de-escalate the situation.

Close the door on interference, judgement and criticism. Shatter the projections and use your new perspective to make necessary changes in your plans so that you’re effectively protected.

Navigate Your Soul’s Journey with Llama Medicine

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

Animal Totems - Llama Medicine

33. Llama Medicine – llama is a sure-footed guide with an uncanny sense of timing and direction. His advice is to lighten up and leave behind whatever doesn’t work for the journey.

Are your decisions unclear? Is your timing  off? What direction are you going? Are you stuck?

What do you think would help?

Healing Action: Let your spirit guide you rather than your ego. Free your mind of old, limiting decisions. Be willing to adapt. Trust your Soul to guide you on your new path.


The Llama’s Journey South

There is a proper position for new beginnings
that requires humility and trust in the Soul.
Just as the adventurer must trust her Llama
on the journey to the mountain tops.
Make clear and conscious decisions
about this new beginning.
There are many things that are unknown
because this is an entirely new path.
Accept what you don’t know
and discipline your mind firmly and consistently.
This will help you on your journey.
The time is ripe for action.
A new cycle is beginning –
Infuse it with trust, enthusiasm
and a dedicated devotion to life.

Further Exploration into Llama Medicine:

Llama Medicine - Animal Totems
Llama Medicine

Your heart is asking you to be open to the great unknown, yet you are finding it difficult to take a chance and give your all to your hearts desire. Perhaps the shock of past events has deterred you from making a commitment because your ego is afraid that what happened before will happen again. However, you can make a more conscious choice through the help of your Soul, rather than your critical mind.

Ask Llama’s Circle, “What needs to happen?” 

Free yourself of domineering, limited beliefs. Be determined and decide to change by nurturing your connection with Soul. Use your common sense, stay alert and follow your truth. Possibilities are always available to those who follow their heart and Soul. 

If you’re having trouble making a decision, confer with Llama’s Circle and contemplate your situation for some navigational advice: 

1) Knowing where you genuinely want to wind up is a key factor in any journey. It’s not just what you want to get away from. Ask your Soul, “Where do I really want to go? What kind of person do I want to be on the way and once I get there?”

2) Once you have answers, follow up with, “Am I heading in the right direction for this to happen or am I confused in some way?” If you need help, use the Circle to imagine you can gently turn the gears in your mind around so they’re moving all together in a forward moving, coordinated direction. If you feel stuck, some gears may not belong in there at all! Unscrew them and pull them out completely.

3) Now you can explore the possibilities with greater confidence. Go through the different options asking: “To get there, what do I need to do?” What decision(s) do I need to make?” “Is this or that option beneficial?” or “What’s next?”  Get help from other Helpers if needed (1 – 58)

4) When an affirmative answer comes back, investigate further by asking “When is the best timing for this to happen?” 

Use whatever information you get to help you navigate your journey.

Electric Eel Medicine

Experience Wholeness Through Electric Eel Medicine

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

Electric Eel from Gifts from the Rainforest

24. Electric Eelconducts an electro-magnetic life force that unifies body, mind and spirit. Grounding in the truth of who we really are reconnects us to the web of Life.

Are you experiencing a blockage?

Do you feel disconnected?

Are you holding space for negativity? If so, what would help?

Healing Action: Recollect and reconnect yourself. Check for reversals, blockages or polarity problems in your aura and meridian systems. Get grounded in Mother Earth.


Current Events

When human beings decided to leave the Garden
they lost connection with the truth about who they were.
Once that happened, they threw respect to the north wind
and forgot that what they said and did mattered.
They tossed compassion to the east wind
and forgot that they were all brothers and sisters.
They flung tolerance to the south wind,
forgetting that life was precious.
And when they abandoned wisdom to the west wind,
they forgot all caution and equality.
The winds wanted to keep the truth safe, so they asked
Electric Eel to hold it with him at the bottom of the sea.
This he has done, faithfully and lovingly.
To this day, the winds blow fiercely in times of war,
hoping to remind us of what we have lost.
Are you ready to remember the current of life
that runs through all of creation?
Reconnect and feel the full energy of who you are.

Further Exploration into Electric Eel Medicine:

Electric Eel Medicine - Animal TotemsThis Circle brings you back to the unmet thirst of your heart that desires unified Love and is unable to access it in your current consciousness. In this particular case, you are the obstacle in your own path. Only you have the power to put things in their rightful place. It’s time to put out a more congruent, positive charge!

You may be operating under the misconception that you need to hold space for things or people other than yourself. By holding onto their energy, you create an incongruent charge that causes instability in your life and makes it difficult for you to remain present and grounded.

Look within and notice where you feel vacant. This vacancy is actually confusion about what is really true. It’s in your best interest to stop whatever you’re doing and attend to the vacancy. If you do, you will uncover a lie that is waiting to be exposed. If this is the case for you now, ask the Circle, “What is the lie about?” 

Don’t underestimate the detrimental affect this lie has had on your life and happiness. It’s time to stop this destructive pattern, otherwise you will remain stuck in the mud or worse. Know that by attending to the lie, greatness will be returned to you.

Now would be an excellent time to tune into nature and align with the Circle of Life. Live in the moment and patiently release your preconceptions while getting grounded in the truth. All is well.

34. Butterfly – Butterfly medicine is about nourishing ourselves appropriately so that we can flourish while we go through the many metamorphoses in our lives.

What kind of changes have taken place within you recently?

Are you nourishing yourself correctly?

If not, what needs to change?

Healing Action: Pay attention to how you’re nourishing yourself. Learn to say no to harmful input. Be open to receive amazing new forms of beneficial nourishment.


The Changing Butterfly

The butterfly has successfully transitioned
out of its cocoon.

It must learn to nourish itself
in an entirely new way if it is to survive.

So it is with the humans.
They encounter many metamorphoses
throughout their lives, yet they often forget
that the old ways no longer work.

Consider the changes in your life
and consciously discontinue the old ways
you had of nourishing and being nourished.

Ask for guidance from the butterfly
about this new life you have entered.

What are the necessary changes you must make?

You have recently gone through a significant transformation and your vision is hampered by the fact that you’ve never been in this position before. You’re filled with hesitation and doubt because you don’t know what to expect. Naturally, it may take some time to realize you’re no longer the way you  were. Your perception of yourself needs to make some changes as well.

Take some time out to play and explore new ways to take care of yourself. Old patterns of self-defeat and self-destruction have been healed; now it’s time to get a new perspective based on your current needs. Many decisions you’ve made in the past are no longer relevant.

Look at Butterfly’s Circle and make some choices about would nourish you now. Ask your heart what changes you need to make in order for your choices to prosper. What kind of input will help you spread your new wings? You may be surprised by the answers that come back to you. If they’re full of contradictions, you will understand more clearly how your ego is still trying to sabotage your growth.

Refrain from blocking positive change through denial, doubt or self-criticism. Lift any restrictions your ego may have put on receiving Love. Accept that change has come and you can’t go back to the way that things were. Actively seek out creative, nurturing energy and allow it to support you in the most appropriate and generous form.

View your life from a distance.
Get clear about how your decisions create the experiences that follow.
If you decide to believe your negative thoughts,
you will create negative experiences.

The jungle cries out to our hearts,
“It’s always early morning somewhere.
Start fresh from wherever you are right now.”
You can change your reality
and the reality of the planet
by changing your beliefs.
Begin again.
Create a new dream by allowing an early morning storm to clear the air.
Refresh, relax and believe in the beauty that is all around you.

Early Morning Storm

A new dawn is about new beginnings. You are ready to embark on a journey that requires an entirely different way of thinking. Discipline and compassion for yourself will teach you how to clear the slate effectively. You may think that the shadows from the past are fading into the background, yet all you would need to do to bring them back full force upon you would be to either go into denial and plunge into the future without any caution or to focus obsessively on what happened in the past.

It’s time to transmute the shadows of denial and assumption through your greatest strengths – the truth and acceptance that comes from your Soul. A simple way to remember this lesson is, “The ego repeats – the Soul creates.”

This medicine is especially good when you want to gather unconscious information about a larger pattern so that you can clear and release it more completely. Use the Circle to help you get a larger perspective on a situation with this affirmation: “I gather all the pertinent information about this situation so that I can clear it in alignment with my Soul.”
Or
A fear from the past has become a habit for you and as a result, you continue to attract negativity. You can transform your habit into courage with the assistance of Nature and this Circle. Look into it and ask your heart, “Am I in real danger right now, in this moment?”
Or
A new dawn could also be alerting you to a beautiful new opportunity that has just been opened to you. Clear your mind and ask for the possibilities to reveal themselves.
There is magic in rain that falls through the atmosphere when dawn is breaking. Use this power to open your heart and make room for Love. Appreciating beauty at this time keeps you focused on what’s important and gratitude renews the childlike heart in all of us.

Come From a Grounded Place

How to ADAPT and Come From a Grounded Place in the New Paradigm ~

Many of us are aware that how we experience our environment has a lot to do with how well we’re feeling and how easy or difficult it is to come from a grounded place. That’s especially so when we need to communicate or move forward in a genuinely productive way! The energy of the Cosmos has changed radically and we are being called to ADAPT to a New Paradigm based on common ground.

The purpose of this Mind Exercise is to activate the beneficial energies of the New Paradigm in your environment. Connecting with these energies will help you organize effectively and from a grounded place.

If you’ve noticed any of the following situations in your environment, try this exercise from Navigating Compassion Fatigue, an online resource from our Soul Oriented Solutions series –

SOS - Soul Oriented Solutions
SOS – Soul Oriented Solutions

If you feel like you or your environment are:

  • Ungrounded or scattered
  • Overwhelmed by too much stuff
  • Disorganized and confused
  • Unstable, unsafe or explosive
  • Juggling too many things
  • Unproductive – going around in circles
  • A magnet attracting negative energies.

Directions: Confirm this is the best formula for you with the SOS Symbol.

Find a quiet place to sit in the center of your space, where you won’t be disturbed for about twenty minutes. Make sure both of your feet are firmly planted on the floor and that the soles of your shoes wouldn’t prevent you from grounding well.

Begin by meditating on this symbol that will help you organize your mind around the structure for Creating Common Ground.

Come from a Grounded Place

Then, go through the exercise by reading each message and then gazing gently at the Circle or chart that goes with it for a minute or so. 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 to help you and your environment to come into balance with each other and ground.

Some emotions may come up and when that happens always visualize the heaviness moving up, out and towards the Light.

You may intuitively feel that an object in the space should be moved or removed completely. Trust your instincts. Give yourself permission to let go of anything that could keep you stuck in the old paradigm.

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 cross or uncross your arms whenever you intuitively feel you need to!


It helps to know that there are new channels of life force available in the New Paradigm that will help us ADAPT.

Come From a Grounded Place
Divine Protection

Keep this symbol handy to help you open up to generative life force and close down life-destructive energy channels from the past. That integration also includes new communication channels that will help us connect with each other in far more life affirming ways.

By contemplating the symbol, you’ll find that you’ll be able to intentionally close down harmful channels and open up to the generative life force (chi) that we look for in Feng Shui.

In Chinese, Feng Shui means “wind water”. These are the two elements that move energy for creating life when they’re in balance. When they’re out of balance, they can create all kinds of destructive energy patterns – sudden reversals, poltergeists, collapses in protection and stagnation – just to name a few. 

Needless to say, transitioning out of the energy channels of the Piscean Age (water) into the new energy channels of the Aquarian Age (air) has been causing quite a bit of instability for everyone.

The bottom line is – the sooner we can come from a grounded place in the New Paradigm based on common ground, the better!

If you need help getting your space grounded, you’re welcome to connect with Rheanni Lightwater for Feng Shui consulting. You can share some of the experiences you’re having and what you’re noticing about your space. Getting a Feng Shui perspective on your situation could be very useful and help you to make the best decisions about your space and organize your life in a way that will move you forward.

Once you’ve finished going through the entire exercise, take yourself for a gentle walk in nature or have a soak in a hot bath with Epsom salts or Sea Salt. It’s important to make sure that you’ve cleansed yourself.


Connection
  1. Begin by relaxing while you softly gaze at this Reiki Chakra Key for your Life Path Chakras, located on either side of your Crown Chakra at the top of your head. Use the following affirmation:

“I choose to relax and open up to my true potential.”

 

Presence 

2. Take some more time to breathe deeply.
 Pay special attention to those places in your body where you’re feeling pain or discomfort. 
Consciously send your breath to those places and let them relax.
Stretch if you need to. Open and close your hands. Notice the time and the space around you.

“I bring myself into the present in the New Paradigm.”

Mind Body IntegrationScroll back up to Divine Protection and take a few moments to consciously close down any harmful energy channels in your body or your space.

Do it both crossed and uncrossed over the center line of your body.

 

Receptivity

3. Ask for peace and harmony to come into your heart and awareness.

Consciously move your energy out of your head and pull it down into your heart and solar plexus area.

Old Soul

Once you feel the shift, close down harmful energy channels again. The more relaxed you are, the better this works.

 

Intuition

4. Connect with your instinctual nature.
Use the Dragonfly Circle to help you tune into your gut instincts so that you can reconnect and improve your relationship with your environment.

“I reconnect with my natural instincts and relationship to my environment.”

Divine Protection

Do you get instinctual messages or intuitive hits about certain areas in the space around you?
Could there be an object that’s holding old energy or keeping you grounded in past unhappiness?

If there is, take a moment to move it now and clear the area with Divine Protection.

 

Clear Intention

5. Let go of the need to be perfect, having to sacrifice or be everything for everyone. Include intentions that were helpful at one time and are no longer useful.
Could you be holding onto something that doesn’t belong to you or leaving yourself open to a problem that’s not yours to fix?
You are responsible for yourself and only your part of the situation. What is your part?

What makes sense to do? What would be genuinely helpful in this situation?
Resolve to let any misguided intentions go, like old smoke disappearing into the Light.

 

Nourishment

6. Make sure that you’re accessing the most beneficial energies to support you and your environment.
You may notice that some directions hold more auspicious energies for you than others.

Shut down any energy channels that are irrelevant or distracting you with Divine Protection.

 

Empowerment

7. To ground in the New Paradigm effectively, you need a strong connection to your spiritual Source. You need to be able to take good care of yourself and willing to ask for help. Bring your attention back to your heart and listen to it beating – nice and steady. Affirm to yourself:

“I exist and am empowered through the connection in my Heart.”

“I take good care of myself and am willing to ask for help.”

“I connect with my environment through Joy and Gratitude.”

Take all the time you need with this.

 

Disappointment

8. Pull your energy back and out of disappointing experiences.
Use this Circle to help you stop tapping into harmful or destructive energies that don’t support you and that bring chaos into your environment.

Shut down any remaining energy channels that are irrelevant or distracting you with Divine Protection.

 

Coherence

9. It’s time to focus your energy on getting grounded. When are grounded, you are not only taking good care of yourself, you also have a positive effect on those around you.

“I pull myself together and get grounded in the New Paradigm.”

 

Self-care

10. Is there anything else you need to do to help yourself?
Does anything else need to happen in your environment so you can come from a grounded place?

Make a list so you can remember.

 

Change

11. Do you have old agreements or assumptions you need to change? You can find them by examining your life and asking yourself:

“What’s been working and what hasn’t been working?”

Are you willing to let go of things that are not working? Release any agreements to hold on.
“I’m willing and able to let go and make the changes necessary for me now.”

 

Realization

12. Keep looking at the Circle while you relax and think of something that you love very much.

Have you been unknowingly jeopardizing things that matter to you?
If you have, what can you do to set it right?
Make note of the ideas that come to you.

 

Clean Up

13. Use Rat’s Circle to sweep any confusion or clutter out of your mind and send the debris up to the Light. In your mind’s eye, sweep it all away!
Then close the doors behind you that let in all that garbage.

Notice how much better your body feels when your mind gets clear.
Make note of ideas that come to you about how you might remove the clutter out of your environment.

 

REDIRECT

14. Imagine that your Spirit can gently take you by your heart and head. Let it turn you around – toward the direction of your highest good.

Allow an uplifting and generative flow of life affirming energy to circulate through your body.

 

DECISION

15. Use this Circle to help you close the pathways in your mind that would lead you into ungrounded and confusing places.

“All holes are sealed and healed.”

“I follow the guidance of my Soul.”

You probably feel much clearer now.

 

Inner Guidance

16. Take some deep breaths and move your body around again. Let your shoulders drop. Listen to that calm, gentle voice that comes from your heart. What is it telling you?

Old Soul

 

New BeginningS

17. Allow a generative energy to begin in your solar plexus. Feel it moving up into your heart and let it fill up your entire body – all the way to your fingertips. You are creating a new template for a new beginning.

 

Divine Protection

18. Finish by gazing at this symbol to confirm your connection with the new and beneficial energies of the New Paradigm.

“My mind and body are open and clear to receive generative life force.”

“All harmful energy channels have been closed down.”

Come from a Grounded Place

 “Divine Protection fills my environment completely in all directions – including above and below.” 

Remember that the need to unify in common ground is real! The changes are taking place over time and you will likely need to do this exercise repeatedly. Take yourself for a gentle walk in nature or have a soak in a hot bath with Epsom/Sea Salts to cleanse yourself.
