Emotional Stress and Memory

Can Emotional Stress Affect Your Memory?

Especially when the stakes are high, you need to remember the important things. However, it’s not unusual for people to have temporary memory problems or glitches in their thinking when they’re under a lot of emotional stress, especially if they’re highly sensitive. Why is that and what can be done to help?

Emotional Stress If this sounds like you, it could be that you’ve become overwhelmed by the uncertainty of life and the future. Or, you may have gotten ungrounded by the sheer amount of information that you feel you have to process.

You might also be going through experiences like the ones below: 

  • Going through a major emotional transition
  • Having difficulty processing new information 
  • Feeling weak or mentally exhausted
  • Disoriented due to grief or sudden loss
  • Picking up on other peoples pain
  • Noticing an increase in forgetfulness
  • Getting confused more easily than usual.

If you are, you’re not alone and it’s possible to get some relief by going through Emotional Stress that Affects Memory from our Soul Oriented Solutions series. The process will help you get a better idea about what’s happening in your case and what you can do to re-orient yourself.

Directions: Start by confirming that this is the best formula for you with the SOS Symbol.

SOS - Soul Oriented Solutions for Emotional Stress
SOS Symbol

Next, read the directions in each step and then gaze softly at its accompanying Circle for several minutes. Going slower gets better results.

Give yourself permission to look at the Circles in any way or from any angle that you like. All you have to do is stay relaxed. If you’re drawn to focus on the center of a Circle, great! There is no wrong way to view them.

If you come up with a message, an image or instinctively want to trace over the lines, let your imagination guide you. A playful approach reduces stress and opens up possibilities so you can look at your situation from different perspectives.

Developing intuition in this way enhances your personal growth and can keep those creative juices flowing for better mind function.

Caution: the use of this exercise is not intended take the place of appropriate medical and/or psychiatric care. If you are having prolonged or increasing bouts of memory loss, seek the appropriate medical help.

Mind Body Integration

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 move at anytime in any way to help you embody your experience!


Before you begin, it helps to know that there are new channels of life force available in the New Paradigm that will help us ADAPT to all the changes going on.

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 Divine Protection, you’ll be able to intentionally close down harmful channels and open up to the generative life force (chi) that has become available to us.

Divine Protection

Transitioning out of the energy channels of the Piscean Age (water) into the new energy channels of the Aquarian Age (air) has been a mysterious source of disfunction and instability for most everyone on one level or another. This symbol is a gift from Reiki that provides an interface to assist us in making the functional transition. 

The chakras in particular benefit from “installing” it  energetically. At any point during this exercise, you may use it to improve energy flow and integration.

Directions: As you gaze softly at the symbol, Imagine you can close up unhealthy energy channels between you and any interference that’s coming from the outside. Stay with it until you feel more centered with beneficial life force flowing through you.

Then, see if you can gather your awareness and connect it – like all the lines that come together into the center of this symbol.

The sooner we can allow our minds and mental processes adapt to these new energies, the sooner we’ll be able to access new ideas and solutions for our mental, emotional and physical health.

Now you’re ready to go through the exercise…


Emotional Stress That Affects Memory ~

How Are You Experiencing Disorientation?

1. We’re going to look at several possible reasons why emotional stress could effect your memory. One reason could be that you’re disoriented due to a sudden recent change. Or, you might be tuning into destructive energies in your environment, rather than beneficial energies. That includes picking up on other people’s emotional states. Another possibility could be that you’ve been exposed to an overwhelming amount of information, chemicals or static energy. It helps to be aware of what’s involved.

Let Stingray Medicine help you gather up any important information about your experience. Your unconscious mind knows what’s pertinent and what’s not.

You might want to jot down any impressions you get. However, don’t be surprised if nothing definite comes to you. There may not be any words because the unconscious mind is not linear. 

Just make note of what your experience is for now.

 

What is a Clear Intention That will Help?

2. To help bring your body, mind and Soul into a cooperative focus, establish a simple and clear intention for this exercise:

“I improve my brain function and mental acuity which includes thought, senses, vision and hearing.”

Go ahead and meditate on the center open space of this chart with that intention in mind. It may help to bring the energy in towards the center. Breathe deeply and relax. Don’t try to make anything happen. A relaxed mind will lead you to a more relaxed body!

When the energy of the chart balances out, you’re ready to move onto the next step.

 

What Would You Like to Shine Light On?

3. The pineal gland is an important part of your brain because of its main function of regulating light and darkness through the production and secretion of melatonin. In addition, the pineal contains light-sensitive cells that control your equilibrium through the circadian cycle of sleep and wakefulness.
Melatonin also supports healthy memory function and reproductive cycles.

Relax and breathe for a minute or two and let this Chakra Key help you clear toxins from your pineal gland so that your natural rhythms and cycles can come into better balance.

Utilize Divine Protection to install improved access to generative life force.

 

Does It Feel Like Your Energy is Struggling?

4. Emotional stress can cause significant internal and external changes. Sudden reversals, blockages and changes in momentum can cause your energy to react in unusual ways. 

You might also have an awareness of rough or reversed energies around you.

Relax with this Correction Key for a few minutes until things smooth out and you can begin to feel the calming energy of your Soul coming through. If you need to use it again later, feel free to do so.
Be sure to do that both crossed and uncrossed over the midline of your body.

 

 

How Would You Like to Feel?

5. The hypothalamus is a part of your brain that regulates homeostasis. Through it, you have the ability to maintain inner balance and a calm state of mind. It also regulates a variety of functions including your physical development, digestive health and metabolism.

What kind of support would you like with those things?

Allow this Chakra Key to help you clear and balance your hypothalamus.

 

What Would You Like to Remember?

6. The hippocampus is actually two structures located on either side of the temporal lobe that are involved with memory development, verbal, spacial and directional skills.

Repeat what you just did in the previous steps. Relax and breathe while you gaze at this Chakra Key to clear out toxins and bring both areas of your hippocampus into balance.

Once the energy has calmed down, check in with these questions:

“Is there something I’ve forgotten that’s important? More than one?”
“Is there something I need to forget?”

Remembering too many things can also cause stress. Make a note of what comes to you and continue with your mind exercise.

 

What Would Bring You More Ease?

Emotional Stress and the Third Eye7. There’s another part of your brain function that taps into the wisdom of your Soul. Some call it the Third Eye Chakra. Through it, the pineal, hippocampus and hypothalamus can connect and work together to enhance learning and create coherent thoughts. Intuition and common sense can then blossom and communicate meaningful insights to your Heart Center.

Keep relaxed and gaze softly at the Reiki Chakra Key with each affirmation:

“My common sense and intuition are working together.”

“I receive meaningful insights about my situation.”
“My mind helps me to reduce stress and integrate joy into my life.”

 

What Needs to Get Connected?

8. Starlight Medicine helps you repair the subtle hara lines that connect your chakras, like a beautiful web of Light. Keep relaxed and gaze softly at the Circle with each affirmation:

“My mind and body are connected and balanced to create improved mental acuity and brain function.”

“I improve my comprehension and understanding.”
“I connect with solutions.”

 

What Would Support You?

9. It’s possible that you’re dehydrated or not getting the right nutrition. While you gently focus on this Circle, ask yourself:

“Is there something I could eat or drink that would help me?”
“Is there something I’m eating or drinking too much of?”

 

 Is There Something That You Need To Let Go Of?

10. If there is, let Chigger Medicine help you open up and let it go.

Just keep letting go and release all that emotional stress.
See yourself relaxing under an afternoon Sun.
Take all the time you like. It’s okay to let go and rest.
Move around if you need to.

 

What Would Genuinely Help Your Emotional Stress?

11. Is there something else that you could do to help your mental / emotional stress?
Is there something you’re doing that would be best to stop or slow down with?
Use Mermaid Medicine to consider what helpful actions you could take to genuinely improve your situation.

Is there anything you could do or stop doing that would be genuinely helpful to others?

 

What Is Your heart Saying?

12. It could be that things are just moving too fast and your mind is trying to keep up. Take a moment to slow down and tune into your Heart Center.

Bring it into balance first.

Once you feel balanced and connected, ask yourself:

“What is my Heart Center telling me?”
“Am I worried about something (physical, financial, family issue, etc)?”
“What have I been doing? Has that helped? What do I feel?”

If you need to, go back to Step 8 and connect your Heart Chakra with Your Third Eye Chakra. Then, make sure they both have their Divine Protection filters.

 

How Will Life Be Better Without This Emotional Stress?

13. Your physical body is the foundation for your vitality and your instinct to take care of yourself. Clearing the energy around the Root Chakra in your lower body, will give you strength and support to make necessary changes.

“I strengthen my connection to my physical health.”

Once you feel stronger, ask yourself:

“What, if anything, am I forgetting about my physical health?
“Is there something I need to remember?”
“Do I need to install Divine Protection in my Root Chakra?”

If you need to go back to Step 8 and connect with your other chakras, do that now.

 

What Would Keep You Grounded?

14. A strong connection to the Earth through your Earth Chakra gives you support to make the necessary changes and stay balanced at the same time. Put both feet on the floor to help you ground.
If needed, go back to Step 8 and connect with your other chakras.
Take whatever time you need.  

Once you’re centered and grounded, ask yourself:

“What do I need remember?
“Do I need to change anything?”
“Do I have the connections and resources I need to resolve this stress?”
“What would be involved? Is anything missing?”

 

Ask For Blessings On Your Life Path.

15. Finish by balancing out your Life Path Chakras. They help you stay on your own path and tune into your own karma and the promptings of your Soul – a very important thing to remember!

“I open up to my potential and stay positive.”

“I stay true to my Soul’s path.”

You may want to sit with this for awhile or soak in a hot bath with Epsom salts or Sea Salt to detox.
Make a plan to exercise to take a relaxing walk out in Nature once you feel ready. Releasing emotional stress takes patience, time and space.

Navigate Reversals During Retrograde

What To Do About Reversals During Retrograde.

Guidance from Kuan Yin 

Kuan Yin - Advanced Chakra Healing to Navigate Reversals During RetrogradeEver since 2009, Kuan Yin has offered her assistance through specially chosen Transformation Games, Mind Exercises and Self-care Formulas to help us ADAPT to whatever changes were required. As a time-honored and respected guide in the Healing Arts, her aim has always been to help us stay calm and navigate the chaotic transition from the old paradigm of the status quo into the New Paradigm of Common Ground for the Common Good with clear minds and hearts.

Now, she is helping us to adjust to the reality of living in the new energy through the I Ching Guidance of Hexagram #17 ADAPTING. Unfortunately, random energy reversals during retrograde periods like we’re experiencing now are likely to be sudden, intense and frequent.

Learn more about how Kuan Yin has advised us to navigate the energy of Air in Difficult Beginnings>


Advanced Chakra Healing and Clearing ~

Recommended Mind Exercise and Transformation Games to Help You Adjust and Keep Moving with the Flow In the New Paradigm, Rather than Against it.

Environmental imbalances and instability have affected us in so many ways that we’re just beginning to understand. Because our bodies chakras react to and reflect environmental factors, it’s important that we pay attention to how well they’re functioning and proactively rebalance them when needed.

Navigate Reversals During Retrograde

The biggest issues during this period is the tendency for our subtle energy systems to either fragment out or get overloaded and bogged down by destructive energies. As a result, your mood could inexplicably change. Primary or Secondary Chakras might shut down completely or suddenly start running in reverse. This instability can make it very difficult to remain centered and grounded, just at a time when you need to be able to do both things the most!

Add to that the increased divisiveness, chronic health imbalances aggravated by toxins in the environment and the unstable state of our collective mental/emotional health and you’ve got a serious situation that should not be ignored.

For that reason, Kuan Yin has asked me to continue this format so that I can post Mind Exercises and Transformation Games that will help you deflect negative energies and address instability, reversals and toxic patterns in each of the Primary Chakras. It’s my hope that they can enhance your self-healing abilities to keep your chakras more stable and moving in the right direction.

Take a moment and utilize different Intuitive Learning Circles to integrate some of the help she’s offering to help us adapt. Simply meditate gently on each symbol while you consider the positive affirmations that go with them. Relax and breathe into the experience. 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 coming into balance. Just stay with it until the energy subsides and you feel done. Then, when you’re ready, you can move on to the next symbol.
Here are Kuan Yin’s suggested intentions in this situation:

“I close down negative energy channels from the past.” 

“I tap into the beneficial flow of energy now available through the Element of Air.”

 

“I pull my energy back into the center of my body.”

Mind Body IntegrationBe sure to practice each affirmation both crossed and uncrossed over the midline of your body for improved mind body integration.

 

 

Once you feel ready, you can go through this list of the primary chakras to get an intuitive hit about how each are doing.

Lets begin with the Root Chakra and move up:

1st Chakra - Root Chakra Balancing

“Our root chakra is red and governs the physical body, our instincts and the assumptions we have about life. It’s located at the very base of the trunk of your body.

In Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs the Root needs are physiological – air, food, water, shelter, warmth, sex, sleep and having adequate methods of communication.

Gaze softly at the Root Chakra Key above and then ask yourself:

“Are my physiological needs being met? Am I giving them the proper priority, position and attention for my life to be in balance?”

Do I need chakra balancing here? if so, what would help me to bring my Root Chakra in balance?

Kuan Yin wants you to access stability and support as you go through difficult times> 

Next up is the Second Chakra (also known as the Spleen Chakra):

2nd Chakra - Spleen Chakra Balancing“The second energy center is referred to here as the spleen chakra because it’s deeply connected to our emotions, digestion and immunity. Its color is orange and is located 2-3 inches down from the navel.

In Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs the second level needs are safety oriented – protection from the elements, security, order, law, stability and freedom from fear.

Gaze softly at the Second Chakra Key above for a minute or so. Then ask yourself:

“Are my safety and security needs being met? Am I giving them the proper priority, position and attention for my life to be in balance?”

Do I need chakra balancing here? if so, what would help me to bring my 2nd Chakra in balance?

Kuan Yin wants you to strengthen your immunity and emotional health>

Continue by addressing the Third Chakra needs:

3rd Chakra - Solar Plexus Chakra Balancing“The solar plexus chakra is the center of who we are and who we think we are, so it’s fitting that its color is a bright yellow and is located in the solar plexus.

In Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs the third level needs include love and belongingness needs – friendship, intimacy, affection and love from work group, family, friends, and romantic relationships.

Gaze softly at the Third Chakra Key above for a minute or so. Then ask yourself:

“Are my love and belongingness needs being met? Am I giving them the proper priority, position and attention for my life to be in balance?”

Do I need chakra balancing here? if so, what would help me to bring my Third Chakra in balance?

Kuan Yin wants you to reorient yourself and get back into balance>

The Heart Center and Basic Balance:

Fourth Chakra - Heart Chakra Balancing“Our heart chakra is the bridge between our bodies and the spiritual world. It is where our thoughts and beliefs about love meet the physical expression of it.

In Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs the fourth level needs include esteem needs – achievement, self-love, independence, status, dominance, prestige, self-approval, self-respect and respect from others. 

Gaze softly at the Fourth Chakra Key below for a minute or so. Then ask yourself:

“Are my compassion and esteem needs being met? Am I giving them the proper priority, position and attention for my life to be in balance?”

Do I need chakra balancing here? if so, what would help me to bring my Fourth Chakra in balance?

Kuan Yin wants you to release anxiety so you can feel the support you need to create good health, happiness and your personal dream>

Consider the Fifth Chakra and the Power of Your Word: 

Fifth Chakra - Throat Chakra Balancing“The energy of the throat chakra is about what you put out into the world – having a voice. It’s about speaking your truth and is blue in color, as in ‘true blue’.

In Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs the fifth level needs include cognitive needs such as knowledge, meaning, expression, self-mastery and self-awareness.

Gaze softly at the Fifth Chakra Key above for a minute or so. Then ask yourself:

“Are my cognitive needs being met? Am I able to ask for what I need and straightforward in my requests? Am I giving them the proper priority, position and attention for my life to be in balance?”

Do I need chakra balancing here? if so, what would help me to bring my Fifth Chakra in balance?

Kuan Yin encourages you to speak up and ask for what you really want>

The Sixth Chakra and the Power of Your Perception:

Sixth Chakra - Third Eye Chakra Balancing“The third eye chakra contains the energy of insight and wisdom. Located in the center of the forehead just above the eyebrow, this chakra is associated with the color purple.

In Maslow’s Hierarchy Needs the sixth level needs include aesthetic needs – the appreciation of and search for beauty, balance and form, etc. Kuan Yin would add the need need for spiritual insight and understanding.

Gaze softly at the Sixth Chakra Key above for a minute or so. Then ask yourself:

“Are my needs for creativity and spiritual understanding being met? Am I giving them the proper priority, position and attention for my life to be in balance?”

Do I need chakra balancing here? if so, what would help me to bring my Sixth Chakra in balance?

Kuan Yin urges you to detach from collective drama and herd mentalities that are stressing you out>

The Seventh Chakra and Self-actualization: 

Seventh Chakra - Crown Chakra Balancing“The crown chakra is our connection to spirit. This is the energy center that connects us with divine inspiration. Its color is white as it contains all things and it can cast a golden ring when in states of ecstasy.

In Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs the seventh level needs include self actualization  needs – realizing personal potential, self-fulfillment, seeking personal growth and peak experiences.

Gaze softly at the Seventh Chakra Key above for a minute or so. Then ask yourself:

“Are my self-actualization needs being met? Are my fulfillment needs blocked in any way? Am I taking action and giving them the proper priority, position and attention for my life to be in balance?”

Do I need chakra balancing here? if so, what would help me to bring my Seventh Chakra in balance?

Kuan Yin wants you to access Soul guidance when lies are everywhere>


In conclusion, Kuan Yin recommends that you take the time to understand and adapt to all the changes going on.

Whether you want to prepare for improved health, career, finances or relationships, your mind and the whole experience will be much happier if you have an ongoing practice that will help you adapt and nurture yourself.

Homeostasis – A Healthy Response to Stress

Calming the Nervous System Through Homeostasis

Rheanni Lightwater - Homeostasis
Rheanni Lightwater, Reiki Master/Teacher, Certified in Somatics, Applied Kinesiology, Cranio-sacral & Hypnotherapy

is a Mind/Body Healing Protocol developed by Rheanni Lightwater that helps you recalibrate your energy field so you can regain balance and equilibrium more easily after a stressful experience.

In addition, you will be able to nourish and strengthen your nervous system and build increased resilience into your immune system against harmful pathogens.

This Advanced Energy Medicine Protocol addresses the various inter-related aspects of our energy systems that work together to create a “resonate field”  that will effectively activate the parasympathetic nervous system response. This recalibration includes essential information I’ve been able to gather as a Medical Intuitive over the last two decades about how our subtle energy fields influence a healthy, vibrant immune response.
The human energy field has been going through significant transformation for some time. In my work, I’ve followed this evolution and assisted many people in restructuring their subtle energy fields for greater health and efficiency. The Intuitive Learning Circles and symbols have been carefully developed to facilitate these changes in alignment with Psyche, Soul and the Soul’s individual purpose.

Mind Body Integration trains your unconscious mind to recognize imbalances and harmful energies so it can activate and develop new patterns for protection, self-correction and re-generation.

Because the primary function of the unconscious mind is to preserve and protect the body, it runs all of our body functions. It’s also in charge of how information is communicated throughout the entire system.

In my work, I have found that when the unconscious mind recognizes the need to adapt and can effectively communicate that need, the subtle energy systems can shift and are “upgraded” to include the new information, which naturally upgrades the efficiency of all physical systems.

In this particular protocol, we seek to activate the unconscious mind and alert it to the presence of possible viruses, harmful toxins, polarities and imbalances that might be preventing homeostasis. Chakra and Meridian integrations are then facilitated to gently:

  1. Improve Communication – the proper transfer of messages between the brain and nervous system.
  2. Process and Regulate Emotional Information
  3. Expel Stress from the Nervous System – gentle release of fear and trauma
  4. Reduce Fight or Flight Stress Response
  5. Improve Overall Endocrine and Immune Health
  6. Release toxins and manage stress and trauma more effectively

This evolutionary process is an important aspect of SOS – Shelter from the Storm, which has been conceived and intended to help us meet the challenges of our global climate crisis and enhance our response to the increase of super viruses, environmental hazards and other unknown health challenges.

Homeostasis is laid out to help you recalibrate your energy field to nourish and strengthen your nervous system and to build increased resilience into your immune system.

In your body, are all elements needed for homeostasis in place, connected and communicating?
