Are You Catastrophizing?
One of the biggest challenges we face is how to get past all the catastrophizing that’s going on and get to some real solutions.
When a person is CATASTROPHIZING, they are imagining the worst possible outcome of an action or event. It’s so easy to blow everything out of proportion, especially after all we’ve been through! Turn on any form of media and within minutes you’re hit with intense waves of anger, fear, outrage, even paranoia. Before you know it, your energy is scattered all over the place and you’re feeling hopeless.
Certainly, there are plenty of disastrous events that are actually happening. I’m not suggesting that we isolate, live in denial or surround ourselves with ‘nothing to see here’ apathy.
However, putting all that emotional energy into the drama while ignoring the solutions is like feeding a shark and then expecting it to just peacefully swim away. It ain’t gonna happen!
Our problems can’t be solved from the same mental position they were created from. The same is true for you. A positive balance can be struck by consciously pulling your attention and energy away from all those problems and redirecting them to genuinely helpful solutions.
It may sound hard to do, but learning to stop catastrophizing is possible.
With this simple sequence of Intuitive Learning Circles, you can easily refocus and let go of some of that fear you’ve been feeling. All you have to do is be open and follow the simple directions. Each Circle helps gather unconscious information, organize awareness and illuminate solutions that come directly from your Soul. You are in charge!
Start out by taking a moment to consider what situations are bothering you the most. What seems to be the most upsetting to you?
You could be catastrophizing about anything – environment, work, family, politics, AI technology, social media or even a personal relationship.
What catastrophic event comes to mind first?
Where do you feel it in your body?
With that situation in mind, scroll down and gaze softly at the short sequence of Intuitive Learning Circles below. Let each Circle help you access intuitive answers to the questions that go along with them.
Step 1:
Take a moment to relax and take a few deep breaths. Let your shoulders drop and gently look at the Circle in whatever way that appeals to you. Once you feel pretty relaxed, ask yourself this question:
“What am I paying too much attention to that isn’t in my best interests?”
It’s important to accept whatever comes to you because that answer is your Inner Guidance sending a warning to you.
Step 2:
Gaze softly at this next Circle that helps you access your unconscious decisions:
“What decisions am I making about this situation? What have I decided about other people? What have I decided about myself? Are those productive thoughts?”
If they are productive, great! Bring them together and make them even stronger.
If they’re not productive, what kind of thoughts and decisions would be better for you to make? Would you be willing to give yourself and other people a break? Don’t judge, just keep a mental note. Oftentimes when we change our decisions, the situation begins to change too.
Step 3:
Use this Circle to help you connect with a more positive energy that lives within.
“I connect to my Source of Joy and Gratitude that lives in my heart center.”
“I decide to empower a healthy and hopeful frame of mind in regard to this situation.”
This may take a few minutes, so take all the time you need. Move around and stretch if you like.
Step 4.
As you gaze at this Correction Key for repairing your energy field, ask yourself:
“Am I willing to heal the pathways in my energy that are jagged, torn, blocked or turned inside out?”
If you are, use your imagination with this Key to smooth the energy out.
If you’re not, can you tell what’s holding you up?
Step 5:
Bring yourself fully into the present. Open and close your hands. Take a look at the time… remember how old you are… find something in your space that you can really connect to.
These are all things that can help you get more centered.
What do you need to do to get grounded?
Step 6.
Put your hand on your heart and meditate on this symbol for a few minutes with this positive affirmation:
“I connect my consciousness with Hope.”
Make sure you’re relaxing as much as possible. Roll your shoulders if you need to. Adjust how you’re seated. Hope is a virtue that connects you with your Soul.
Step. 7
When you’re ready, check your progress…
“Does it feel like I’m moving in a better direction?”
Step 8.
If the answer you get is “no” or “I’m not sure,” use this Circle to imagine that your Soul can turn you towards the direction of your highest good and close the door completely on all that catastrophizing.
“The path in my mind that leads to disaster is sealing and healing.
I follow the direction of my Soul’s protection.”
Once you’re clear that you’re heading in a positive direction, you can thank your lucky stars that you have successfully pulled yourself out of emotional chaos.
Congratulations!
Now that you know what kind of issues are especially upsetting, you can make a plan to find some good solutions. For now, though, you probably need to rest or go do something entirely different. After all, catastrophizing is hard work!
Take a few minutes for yourself to walk, get out in nature or do something that will help you relax.

Develop Determination with Jaguar
Develop Determination and Courage with Jaguar
Crossing Over Into a New Paradigm
Welcome to Your Self Healing Journey with the Jaguar Spirit Animal
The unconscious mind uses symbols like maps to help it navigate through uncharted territory. In order to develop determination and courage with Jaguar, it’s very helpful to give your mind signs and maps to assist you as you navigate the new terrain. The Intuitive Learning Circles and symbols are designed to help your mind get a grasp on the larger picture.
“Common Ground for the Common Good” is a template based on the concepts of equality, peaceful co-operation and balanced prosperity. This imprint gives us an energetic framework to work with Mother Nature and each other for a better future.
There are so many environmental shifts happening and conditions are changing rapidly. If you meditate on the “map” available in this image, your mind can get a better grasp on how it can re-organize itself effectively in the New Paradigm we’ve entered.
If you have chosen Jaguar to be your Guide…
“Your creativity and special talents will benefit from an influx of courage and trust in yourself. It’s time to stand tall and unflinching, regardless of what others are saying…
… Ask: Are you accessing open-hearted courage? In what ways do you need to protect yourself and stand up for what you believe in? Reclaim your courage, strength and determination and apply it to your true heart’s desire.” ~ Gifts from the Rainforest by Rheanni Lightwater
Choosing Your Games for the Common Good
What Process Is Best for Me – Right Now?
Note: Some Games require a password. Full access to Spirit Animal Tracks is through Paid Membership in our Intuitive Learning Circle Community! Coming soon..
Many of you have asked, “There’s so many Games and Exercises here in the Intuitive Learning Circle – how do I know which one is right for me?
Since we’re here to help you develop your intuition, it’s only natural that we would come up with a simple & fun way to decide – using your intuition!
First of all, it’s true that we have quite a few self-healing offerings, so below you’ll find a list of games that pertain to Developing Determination through the Jaguar.
There are 6 categories to choose from ~
I: Cosmos
II: Family
III: Environment
IV: Livelihood
V: Self and new
VI: Romantic Love
Each category has a selection of games listed underneath which are numbered 1, 2 and 3.
The first step is to take a moment and think about what’s going on for you and then look at Jaguar Medicine and ask your heart:
“What category would be most useful for me to look at now?”
Once you have the category number, ask yourself:
“Which number in that category represents the best self healing process for me right now – or is the best place to start?”
Remember to take the very first number that comes to you, because that is your intuitive guidance speaking or your intuition. If more than one number comes up, write them all down in the order they came to you.
Once you have your number, scroll down the list and check out that process. You might be surprised at what you chose, because intuition doesn’t always makes sense at first. However, I suggest that you trust your first response and explore the exercise anyway. See if it pertains to your situation and feels right.
This is the intuitive way to determine which exercise is best for you right now!
Suggestion: Early on in your journey with Jaguar, go through Open Your Heart and Make Friends to develop a truly co-operative relationship!
