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

What would your Soul ask you to focus on instead?
Healing Action: Focus. Clarify your attention and intention. Dispel confusion. Be patient and prepare yourself to act.
The Prayer of Praying Mantis
Combine the stillness of meditation
with clarity of purpose.
Praying Mantis instructs us in mastery
over our base instincts.
He lives in stillness – the keen observer
and waits with precision until the exact time
when action will produce the desired results.
Cease all action that is without purpose.
Still the mind and consciously
become an instrument for your Soul to move through
effortlessly.
Focus all energies on the truth of your being.
There is no fear,
except that which you allow to exist.
Discipline.
Direction.
Divinity.

Further Exploration into Praying Mantis Medicine:
The medicine of Praying Mantis suggests that your focus is off or distracted. You’re impulsively doing too many things at one time and would do well to center yourself before taking action. Gaze softly at the Circle and breathe. See if you can focus on what really matters now.
Are you having trouble focusing because you’re pushing yourself to get something done? If so, it’s probably not necessary and may actually be causing you trouble in the long run. Being everything to everyone is an impossible demand to make of yourself. Take a step back from unreasonable intentions and let them go.
Get quiet and ask your heart: “What is the real reason behind pushing myself so hard? What am I afraid of?”
What unreasonable expectations are you holding against yourself? Are you digging your heels in on some destructive behavior? Consider what it’s doing to you and If you’re finally ready to let it go. If you are, hand it over to your Higher Power. Then ask to be aligned with that Higher Power, which is your Source. Once you have done this, you can inspire others to do the same.
If you’re trying to do it all yourself, you’re causing yourself unnecessary stress, exhaustion and burnout. Hand over some parts of the process to others who can assist.
Finally, Praying Mantis would like to help you improve your intuition by developing what’s called “peripheral vision.” Start by gazing softly at the center of the Circle and bring yourself into a powerful trance-like focus. Keep your eyes there on the Circle while you gently expand your awareness into the space around you. Notice the noises and activity going on in your environment. If you practice this kind of empowered focus regularly, you’ll help yourself in more ways than you know.
