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 tracking glitches 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 might 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. 

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

Next, go through this integrating mind exercise to understand how emotional stress might be causing what’s happening in your case and what you can do to re-orient yourself. Read each step and then gaze softly at its Circle, one at a time.

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!

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.

Stress That Affects Memory ~

How Are You Experiencing Disorientation?

1. We’re going to look at several possible reasons why emotional stress might be affecting your memory. One reason could be that you are disoriented due to a sudden recent change. You might also be picking up on other people’s stress. Another possibility could be that your mind has been exposed to an overwhelming amount of information or static energy. It helps to be aware of what is involved.

Let this Circle help you gather up any important information involved. Your unconscious mind knows what’s pertinent and what’s not.

You might want to jot down any impressions you notice. 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 mind into focus, establish a simple and clear intention for this exercise.

“I improve mental acuity and brain function.”

Go ahead and meditate on the center open space of this chart with that intention in mind. 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 slows down, 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.

 

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.

Keep this Correction Key handy to help you correct any rough glitches or reversals that you may be experiencing with any of the chakras you’ll be working with in this exercise.
Relax with it for a few minutes until things smooth out and you can begin to feel the calming energy of your Soul coming through.
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 you’ve really relaxed with it, check in with a question:

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

Make a note of it 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 Circle 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. This Circle 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 this Circle 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.

 

What Would Genuinely Help Your Emotional Stress?

11. Is there something that you could do to help your mental / emotional stress?
Is there something it would be best to stop doing?
Use this Circle to consider actions you could take that would help in this situation. Make sure they would be genuinely helpful to you now.

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. Then, ask yourself:

“What is my heart telling me?”
“Am I worried about something (physical, financial, family issue, etc)?”

“What have I been doing? Has that helped?”
“What do I feel?”

 

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 energy, especially in your lower body, will give you strength and support to make necessary changes.

Once you feel stronger, ask yourself:

“What, if anything, am I forgetting about my physical health?
“Is there something I need to remember?”

There’s always more than one way to do things, what new way comes to mind in this case?

 

What Would Keep You Grounded?

14. A strong connection to the Earth 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 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.
Plan to take a walk or relax for a bit out in Nature once you feel ready.
Releasing emotional stress takes time and space!

Stuck in the Past

How to Change Negative Thoughts In the New Paradigm ~ 

Stick in the PastAre you stuck in the past? At any point during a typical day, you may need to release a negative thought, compulsion or worry that you’ve held onto that no longer serves you.

You can gently let go and adapt to some better behavior by starting with a short quiz using the Intuitive Learning Circles.

Part I: Quiz – What is Going On?

Are You Being Bothered By Worry or Negative Thoughts?

As you gaze at the Circle below, go ahead and deliberately find a problem that you’re stuck on and don’t know how to change.

“I find the negative thoughts about ____________ and free myself of them.”

Stuck in the Past

“My new intention is to aim for balance, health, happiness and ____________.”

Notice how sticky this is and how much energy is involved in the struggle!


Mind Body IntegrationMind 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.


What Else Is Going on?

Other things might be happening. Sometimes there’s a karmic entanglement with other people, groups or power structures. Are you involved in a situation where you need to separate yourself out from controlling or harmful manipulations? If so, use this affirmation:

“I make a decision to release and let go of harmful entanglements.”

 

Is Your Health or Prosperity Being Affected Negatively?

Are you being distracted? Have you placed your hopes in a losing proposition? Are you stubbornly holding onto ideas, structures or systems that are actually blocking you? Are you trying to do too many things? Are you caught up in a web of deceit?

If your answer is “yes” to any of these questions, ask your heart:

“What can be done about it?”

 

Are There Any Other Dangers That You Ought to be Aware Of?

There are always those who would love to take advantage of our blind spots. You could be stuck because you’re being exploited in some way. Your energy might be getting drained. A person or group could be trying to cling to you, dump their problems or just interfere with your plans. The easiest ways for them to succeed is either by seducing you with flattery or trying to get you angry through insults and intimidation. Don’t buy into these ploys!

“I identify danger and determine how to deal with it effectively.” 

 

Part II: How Can You Help Yourself?

Now that you have a better idea about what’s going on, you can gently let go and adapt to some more effective ways to handle your situation. If you’d like to do that, continue with this simple Mind Exercise using the Intuitive Learning Circles.

When You’re Stuck in the Past, Change Your Agreements.

Imagine you can gently untie those agreements or burn them in a cleansing fire.

“I decide to let go of worry or negative thoughts about _________ (patiently take it one subject at a time).”

“I stop buying into controlling or fearful manipulations.” 

“I let go of ___________ and behaviors that threaten to entangle me with ________. I stop buying into flattery, distractions, lies and ___________.”

“My new agreement is to stay centered and true to myself. I am free to say ‘no’ and _____________.”

 

Getting Unstuck From the Past ~

The old paradigm or Piscean Age that closed out between 2021 and 2022 was governed by the element of Water. The flow of Water goes down and follows the path of least resistance. When it accumulates, it can easily get stuck and stagnate.
The new flow of energy governed by Aquarius is Air. That means the life force available to us is much lighter, quicker and can be easily moved in all directions. It doesn’t require nearly as much effort. In fact, too much force can cause overreactions and serious imbalances.

The way we processed things before the transition does not work well in the new energy that exists now. To help you adjust, release your agreements to process emotions or manifest in the old way:

“I slow down and adapt to the changing energy flows.”
“I adjust to the lighter, quicker, generative flow of Air.” 
“I pull back the amount of force and effort I’m using to accomplish my goals.” 

“I stop processing emotions through the downward channels of the Piscean Age.”
“I let go of the heaviness and stagnation.”

 

Connect with a Template of Common Ground for the Common Good, Rather than Maintaining the Status Quo:

Mother Earth is changing and it will help to connect with her natural imprint so that we may more easily change how we’re relating to her and to each other.

“I decide to let go of old imprints of exploitation and integrate with the imprint of creating Common Good on Common Ground.”

“I stop dumping my emotional poison into the Earth.” 
“I choose to be responsible and connect with the Earth in positive, productive ways.”
“I work with the Earth to support life and create balanced prosperity.”

 

Release Your Agreements to Use STAGNANT YIN ENERGY:

Unfortunately, many people are using toxic and stagnant water energy to process how they are feeling. This “stuck” energy relates to current social tendencies such as apathy, resistance, self-pity, co-dependence and laziness.

Are you inadvertently using stagnant water energy? If so, you would be wise to release your agreements to utilize such a stagnant energy flow:

“I let go of old, heavy, stagnant or destructive flows of Water.”

 

Utilize Pure Water to Process and Clear Emotions.

Instead, make a conscious choice to activate a new relationship with the Element of Water – fresh and purified to gently clear emotions, imbalances and the residual effects of past indifference and abuse.

This affirmation will help you make an actual adjustment in how you relate to and utilize this precious resource:

“I now make a conscious decision to use pure, life affirming Water to process my emotions, support vibrant health and create balanced prosperity.”

 

Come From A Place of Joy and Gratitude Rather than Fear and Revenge:

Worry generally comes from a negative place. You can source from a different place that connects you in with your Soul.

“I decide to source my responses from a place of Joy and Gratitude rather than fear, greed or vengeance.”

This affirmation will help you make a breakthrough in how you feel and connect with the Divine:

“I exist – the Divine exists. We are not separate.”
“I connect with the Power that is found in my heart and Soul.”

 

Ask for Help from Your Soul.

Manifesting effectively under this new influence of Air will require many new skills that only a true connection with our Divine Nature will be able to help us with.

“I ask my Soul for help, especially in regards to ___________.”

“I connect with the clear electro-magnetic signature of my Soul.”
“I erase signatures & interferences that block integrity, like old graffiti markings. I release them to the Light.”

 

Gather Up Your Senses to Function in Alignment with Your Soul.

Be sure you’re using your senses to correctly assess what’s really going on and the changes you’re going to need to adjust to. Begin by relaxing with this Reiki Chakra Key for a minute or so to connect with your senses and Rational Thought Chakras. They are essential to help you accurately determine what spiritual or physical shifts are necessary and what would be effective.

“I gather up all of my senses and use them to get present and perceive my concerns clearly.”

“I use them to shed light on my blind spots.”
“I use them to discern the difference between helpful and harmful energies.”
“I use my senses to find genuinely helpful solutions.”

 

Part III: Recalibrate Your Energy

Toxic Attachments May Keep You Stuck in the Past ~

Various parts of your energy field may be damaged or struggling with negative energies like smoke, chemicals, illness or other attachments that inhibit your health. Use this Key to relax and meditate on for as long as you like. Like a healing balm, imagine that a loving coat of peace and comfort is pouring down over you.

“My energy system can easily and effectively neutralize interfering energies and detach from them.”

 

Correct Reversals and Blockages ~

When we’re under extreme stress, it’s not uncommon for the chakras and/or meridians to start running in reverse or shut down entirely. Relax and let this symbol help you make corrections.

“I repair any reversals, holes or blockages affecting my energy or mindset.”

Take all the time you need to let your energy smooth out. Be sure to do that both crossed and uncrossed until you can begin to feel the energy of your Soul coming through.

 

Calm Your Nervous System ~

The same could be happening in your nervous system. Use this Soul Prayer Chart to help you smooth out discordant energies that exacerbate your anxiety and stress. Gently detach from the struggles of survival, pushing, fear and competition. Tune into the rhythm and calm of your parasympathetic nervous system.

“I come into harmony with the rhythm of my Soul.”

To access that place of peace it can be helpful for you to breathe, hum or gently rock yourself back and forth.

 

Clear Shadow Energies with an Infusion of Divine Light ~

Radiate light throughout your auric bodies with the full power of the Divine and Angelic Realms. Keep your attention on the strength and beauty of the light rather than the darkness.

Paying too much attention to problems only creates more of them.

Allow the Light from the Divine and your Soul to cleanse and heal you completely from within.

“I ask the Divine to remove attachments, negativity and dark energies from my subtle energy field.” 

Do this both crossed and uncrossed over the midline of your body.

Finish Your Business ~

You’re almost finished now, yet there’s still some business that keeps you stuck in the past. These thoughts keep bothering you for a reason!
Use Snake Medicine to help you pull back and look at your situation from a distance.
What do you need to realize here?
Is there some kind of extreme idea or belief that you need to shed?
Do you need to pull yourself out of a negative energy or situation?
Do you need to transform a negative tendency of your own?

Do you need to behave differently?
Most importantly, are you leaving yourself open to negative energies?
If so, use this Circle to gently shed them so you can bring your energy back into balance.

Connect the Hara Lines ~

You may need to repair and/or strengthen hara lines for centering and improved healing. The hara lines are like tiny webs of light that connect the chakras to your center and extend throughout your body. Sometimes they’re broken or damaged because of trauma, illness, toxicity or sudden changes in the sympathetic nervous system (fight or flight).
Starlight Medicine gives extra energy to the hara lines that connect your chakras.

“I repair and strengthen my hara lines.”
“My chakras are connected properly with my Soul
through a beautiful web of light.”

This Circle also helps us navigate where we are and to organize our consciousness around being present. “I am present and inside of my body. External pressures and harmful energies are outside.”

 

Turn It Around ~

Now it’s time to make sure you’re tapping into positive energy and the new generative energies that are available in the New Paradigm.

“I decide to tap into positive energies and nurture myself.”

“I am open to being nurtured in new and beneficial ways.”

 

Utilize Generative Energy Flow ~

“I close old energy channels from the past that are causing harm.”

I now embrace the new generative flow of the Aquarian Age and use it to support my health, my prosperity and my happiness.” 

 

Release Harmful Intentions that Keep You Stuck in the Past ~

Imagine all the things you used to wish for that have either been accomplished or that are no longer something you want. It’s time to let them go.

“I release any wishes or prayers that are irrelevant or harmful to me now.”

“My new intention is to _________ and to nurture my highest good.”

 

Dissolve Destructive Blueprints ~

Use this symbol to help you surrender any mental/emotional patterns that may be blocking positive thoughts, input and outcomes.

Patiently, bring in the Light and let it clear your energy field. Release your thoughts and worry until the darkness is all gone. The Light is transmuting, transforming and completing this stage of your Souls journey.

Please note: Never send 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!

In the same way, clear away any violent thought forms that may be affecting you. Surrender them to the Light if possible.

 

Bring Closure to Old Pathways and Embrace Protection ~

Remember to close the pathways in your mind that lead back to suffering.

If those pathways remain open, all kinds of trouble (violent thought forms, karma, issues or emotions) can continue to pass back and forth through the opening without your awareness. This can manifest in sudden and mysterious illnesses, mental confusion, issues with prosperity or chronic states of overwhelm.

“I choose healthy boundaries and to be done with this sticky situation.”

“All holes, doors or passageways are sealed and healed.”

“I follow the direction of my Soul’s protection.”

Be sure to see them closed completely both crossed and uncrossed over the midline of your body.

 

Check Back Into Your Mosquito Mind Again ~

Remember the problem you started out this exercise with…

How are you seeing it? Is there another issue involved that keeps you stuck in the past?

If so, you can go through the exercise again later, with that issue in mind.

 

Finish With Closing Insights from Your Inner Guidance ~

Is there anything else that you need to know? Is there anything to change or prepare for?

 

Congratulations!

You are learning how to manage your energy effectively in the New Paradigm.

New Paradigm

Now would be an excellent time to take a break and do something completely different. Go out for a walk in Nature, stretch or play a word game. After all, variety is the spice of life… plus, a break will help you to integrate what you’ve learned.

Whatever you do though, be sure to breathe deeply!

Herd Mentality and Chakra Healing

Transformation Game: Freedom from Herd Mentality

Emotional Entanglements are the Basis of Collective Attitudes or Herd Mentality

Group think or herd mentality is basically a situation where a lot of people are attached to each other through conflict-based emotions, beliefs, agendas and attitudes that cause suffering. There’s a lot of that going around – everywhere! But what if you don’t want to share in that way anymore? What if you prefer to connect with others through Love, Acceptance or Compassion?

Herd Mentality

Let’s work with this through your own example. Your awareness can be used to enhance your mind/body healing.

Notice the negative herd mentality that has your attention now.

Tap into your heart and bring to mind a negative personal situation that’s been causing irritation, anxiety or conflict within you. It could be about you or someone else. Notice how that situation tugs at your heart.

 

Herd Mentality is a group frequency.

In this moment, there’s probably some form of group communication that’s contributing to the irritation, conflict or even sadness within you. It could be an attitude, an agenda or a distressing belief.

Think of this herd mentality like a radio channel that you’re subconsciously tuning into. There could be one or there could be many.

For the moment, don’t try to fight it or get away from it.
Don’t beat yourself up about it. Just gently observe the quality of it.
The first step towards Peace is acceptance of what is.

 

The Third Eye can easily tap into herd mentalities.
Is your Third Eye tapping into the disturbing frequencies you’re feeling or something else?
Can you tell what’s stressing you out about this situation?

 

It can help to “name” the entanglement or herd mentality.

Slow down and see the situation more clearly. Use this Circle to help you slow everything down, just like the slo-mo camera effect in a televised sports event.

What name would you give this mentality?
What do you make up that it wants? What emotion is fueling this mentality?
What does it bring up in you? What do you make of the situation?

Are there any agreements or obligations that chain you to this mentality?

If so, imagine that you can gently unlock them, starting at the bottom of your spine and moving all the way up to the back of your head.

In most situations, the best thing you can do is to gently detach your energy from the herd mentality.

In the old paradigm, many healing modalities “cut the cords.” However, in the New Paradigm, this is another expression of forcing or “making it happen.” A sharp, cutting action like that doesn’t resolve the underlying suffering. It merely offers relief by cutting off the pain or conflict temporarily, only for it to return again another day.

I like to use a softer approach, taught to me by through Reiki guidance. Use this Soul Star Detachment Chart to relax and mend any wounds within yourself and your own energy field that are associated with this entanglement. Like a healing balm, imagine that a loving coat of peace and comfort is pouring down over you – especially your heart center.

“I neutralize and detach from any entanglements that are harmful to me.”

Attachments and conflicts are melting away. The poison is being drawn out and released to the Light. Relax. Breathe. Take your time and move around if you need to.

Next, clear up the intention behind the mental and/or spiritual entanglement.

You will want to address any confusion the herd mentality is causing you. Imagine you can softly gaze into the center of this Circle, Mapacho Medicine, and see ancient intentions like eggs or seeds.

Not only do you see your own intentions and prayers, but also the intentions held by the group entanglement. You can even sense the cultural, ancestral goals that are perpetuating the confusion and devision in your heart.

Visualize them like ingredients in a soup that’s interfering with your life. Scoop out any life destructive intentions and send them to the Light. You don’t have to let them run you anymore!

“I remove or reform any out of date intentions that are harmful to me.”
“I release harmful intentions from others.”
“I intend that all destructive energies and intentions be sent to the Light and purified.”

 

Become aware of harmful projections and deal with them.

There may be multiple projections or delusions coming from multiple groups. One way to deal with them is by using this Circle to visualize them all “popping” like bubbles until you’ve cleared your mind scape of them.

 

 

Now you can close down the energy channels that the herd mentality has been using to get to you.

Use these positive affirmations to help you:

“Harmful energy channels from the past are closing down. I have protection.”

Once they feel closed, imagine you can connect into the center of this symbol to improve your communication with life, Love and happiness!

“I access life affirming energy and connect with truthful channels of communication.” 

Put your new awareness together to make the proper connections with this Circle.

Starlight intuitively fills our hearts with hope and inspiration. We are not alone and miracles are possible.

“I create a new, life affirming intention from my Soul and follow that instead. My new intention is to _______________”

 

Now, dissolve the underlying destructive blueprints of conflict and herd mentality.

These conflicts could be ancestral, societal, racial or sexual biases. They could involve grudges, curses, vows for revenge, etc. After all, resentment and confusion can be internalized and externalized in a thousand ways!

You can dissolve them all now and send any heaviness to the Light.*

*Never send negative energy and emotions to other people or down into the ground. Mother Earth doesn’t want to hold those seeds anymore! She’s busy making the changes she needs for the next stages of life on this planet

When we send destructive energy up to the Light, it can be transformed and set right.

In addition, your mind can be more at peace, knowing that you’re no longer projecting harmful energy onto others – which matters! Like a dark cloud, your ability to forgive is lifting the heaviness up and off of you.

 

To completely release entanglements, collapse the underground tunnels they move through.

We can communicate in other, more helpful ways. Use the symbol below to collapse any energy drains or sewage lines that lead to or from the groupthink conflicts, grudges and curses. You don’t need or want them anymore.

 

Close the door on suffering and harmful entanglements.

Imagine that your spirit can turn you towards the direction of your highest good and close the door completely on all that group think and herd mentality.

“All harmful pathways are sealed and healed.” 
I follow the direction of my Soul’s protection.” 

Once you’re clear that you’re heading in the right direction, you have successfully disengaged from the herd mentality.

 

Deconstruct harmful habits and close those energy drains.

Make sure you don’t get sucked back into a toxic habit or pattern from the past! Close down any energy drains that may have come open during this process.

“I deconstruct old habits and shut down any drains to my energy.”
“I fill in the leftover void with healthy, life affirming energy.”

 

Once you have finished that, tune back into your Heart Center.

This Reiki Chakra Key helps you to reconnect so you can access Compassion for yourself and others. Relax and breathe deeply again. With this new awareness, you can connect with your Soul and communicate with the best of who you are.

Imagine new connections gently taking form. Remember not to force it! A true heart connection happens from the inside. No one else can do this for you.

 

Radiate your heart energy.

Eventually, if you’re patient and open, you can feel a light begin to radiate out, extending a sense of gratitude coming through from your deepest, wisest Self.

“My Heart is at peace and the interference is released.”

Congratulations! Now that you’ve taken the time to stop, listen and connect with your heart, you can feel the truth:

Forcing things doesn’t work in the long run. “Making it happen” through herd mentality or trying to avoid the truth causes more pain and pulls the joy and respect out of our relationships, especially the ones we have with ourselves. The need to make things be the way we want them to be is actually the source of our suffering and attachments. These attachments hold us back, boomerang around and give us a big kick in the behind!

SOS - Inner Guidance for Herd Mentality

Our problems cannot be solved from the same mental position they were created from. A transformation of consciousness is required to get from where we are to where we want to be. Obviously, no one can do that for us. We can get good help, but ultimately, we have to make the shift ourselves.

This is an excellent time to get up and go for a walk, preferably out in nature if you can.

Positive Support for Changing

Intuitive Reading from the I Ching or Book of Change: Positive Support for CHANGING.

Rheanni Lightwater - Navigate Confusion
Rheanni Lightwater, Reiki Master Teacher & Feng Shui Consultant

In this intuitive reading, Soul Resources offers a variety of SOS formulas and Transformation Games using the Intuitive Learning Circles and the I Ching to lend positive support for CHANGING as we move forward toward the Common Good. 

The I Ching

I Ching Workbook - R. L. WingThe original intent of the I Ching was based on an Eastern philosophy of observation and marking changes in natural and human events. Through many centuries and contributions from shamans and master teachers, including Lau Tzu and Confucius, the Book of Change was developed into a full philosophy for applying beneficial human conduct to varying circumstances. The Art of Feng Shui is part of that philosophy. We use The I Ching Workbook, by R.L. Wing, Random House, NYC, NY, 1979 as our preferred translation.


Understanding the Larger Picture ~

Throughout much of late spring and summer, the I Ching energy flow for the United States was in a general state of DANGER, Hexagram #29. However, on July 21st, the full moon ushered in a surprisingly active flow pattern of CHANGING (Hexagram #49).

In almost every aspect of life, CHANGE is in the air and is likely to continue well into mid September, continuing with an abundance of external movement and changing circumstances. Whether we like it or not, a massive wave of collective karma has been activated. How we manage all these CHANGES will depend on how well we keep ourselves centered on the goal and what kind of energy we use.

Since we are no longer being governed by the Water based Element of the Piscean Age, a profusion of CHANGING life force no longer has the buffer of Water to smooth, soothe and slow down events. We are now in the Age of Aquarius where the primary movement comes through the Element of Air, which is much faster, lighter and quick to change.

This paradigm shift means our experience of CHANGE is, and will continue to be much more active and abrupt in the coming months.

Navigate Change with The Chinese Zodiac

2024 is the Year of the Yang Wood Dragon in the Chinese Zodiac.

Positive Qualities: Energetic. Confident. Ambitious. Intelligent. Generous.
Challenging Qualities: Unstable. Intolerant. Lack of persistence. Unrealistic.

The Dragon’s Feng Shui Mandala below can give you a sense of what the archetype of the Dragon is about and how it may influence you. If you’re interested, gently contemplate its center and relax. When you’re ready, ask yourself these questions and journal the answers that come:

“What is the most important thing I can focus my energy and effort on during this time in the Year of the Dragon?”

Todays Intuitive Reading - The Year of the Dragon

“What is the direction? Why is that important?
How can I utilize the energy of the Dragon to my best advantage?
Are there things I’m wasting time on? Something else I need to know?
Is there something important for me to do?
If so, can I tell what it is and how I would best go about doing it?”

Allow your intuition to come forward and bring guidance from your innermost Self. 


Did you know that Vice President Kamala Harris and her running mate, Governor Tim Walz are both DRAGONS – born in 1964. They are both in their Sexegenary Cycle (60 years), which in Chinese Astrology is an important age of completion and coming together of life experiences. What new changes are they likely to inspire?

Invite the Dragon archetype and his dynamic energy to advise you as you navigate change in your own life. 

Yang Wood DragonA) Circumstances have been changing so fast, you may be experiencing a rash of blind spots. To help you navigate more effectively, Explore the Intuitive Learning Circles.

B) There are lots of reasons why you might be getting off track with your true objectives. Call on the superior intelligence the Dragon to help you pull back from the dangers of a distracted mind with Clear Distractions.

C) The current high energy might encourage you to rush or take chances that aren’t in your best interests. Navigate change safely and stay out of trouble using your extra-intuitive senses with Develop Precognition.

D) Finally, there’s a strong possibility that you’ll come across others who might be threatened by your new sense of confidence. If you’re feeling as though someone is undermining you to throw you off your game, go through this exercise ASAP: Grounding in the Truth and Your Power.


Support for Changing with The I Ching

The purpose of studying the I Ching in the first place is to help us recognize different life flows, learn how to use them and plan appropriately, so that we may more easily manifest our goals. Hopefully, our study will help us adapt and make effective plans for navigating change. Here is a quote from the main text of CHANGING:

Hexagram #49 CHANGING (REVOLUTION), as translated by R.L. Wing:

“The forces at work in the situation are in conflict, leaving the path open to change. Yet the work of bringing about such a change is as difficult as it is important. People fear change because of its unknowable effect upon the future; so when a real need for CHANGING makes itself felt, it is a serious matter indeed. Clarity, forethought, and great devotion are now required to achieve your purpose. If correctly handled, however, the results can lead to a progressive new era…

… be certain to approach CHANGING with a correct and regulated attitude. The change should be gradual, improvement by improvement, so you may gauge the effect. Avoid haste and excessive behavior. This is not a violent revolution, it is a carefully calculated transformation. Keep an eye at all times to the bearing of the cosmic forces and be sure the proposed change is consonant with the times. It will require great perseverance to carry out this vital change, and therefore its correctness will be the leading factor leading both to success and your own continuing credibility.

Finally, your timing in this matter is crucial. Because the results of a CHANGING situation are not evident until the change has already occurred, it is very difficult to demonstrate the reason for change. In order to gain support from others, you must carefully time your efforts. Remove discordant elements as they appear, throw out outmoded or stifling policies when they once again create problems, and establish far-reaching clarity about the future whenever the opportunity presents itself. As the constructive aspects of your activities come to light, you will gain the trust of others. Your self-image will improve, and your influence will spread…

… You may be in the midst of a revolutionary change in your overall point of view. It will take time and effort to bring all the external elements of your life into accord with this new outlook, but success is definitely assured.
~ Hexagram #49 CHANGING, The I Ching Workbook by R. L. Wing, Random House, NYC, NY, 1979

SOS Help for Navigating Change ~

Remember that your mind and body can experience high levels of stress, even when the changes are good. the Fifth Line of the text states:
“A radical change is at hand. If your position is correct, your motives worthwhile and you are properly prepared, the new situation will bring great good fortune.” ~ Hexagram #49 CHANGING, The I Ching Workbook by R. L. Wing

SOS Self-care Formulas and Mind Exercises can help you stay in balance and hone your true guidance in chaotic times:

Navigating Compassion Fatigue

6. Stay On Top of Shock and Confusion. Things have been happening so quickly, you may be experiencing a lot of shock. Remember, you can be shocked by “good” things just as well as “bad”. After a shock of any kind, it’s important take some time to process, get back into your body and ground yourself. Do yourself a favor by going through this exercise regularly.

7. Clear Your Overwhelmed Mind Regularly. Many of us are completely exhausted by the relentless change of the past ten years – and it just doesn’t seem to stop! If you are experiencing overwhelm, exhaustion or collapse, this is a quick way to keep yourself in balance.

8. Use Clear Perception and Your Gut Instincts. With so much going on, staying on top of what you need to do is much easier when you follow direction from your gut instincts. This exercise works incredibly well to help you tune into your inner guidance system – warning you to slow down and stay on track.

Emotional Drama

Detaching From Emotional Drama

There are times when you know that you’ve gotten caught up in emotional drama and the best thing for you is to simply let go and “let it be.”

SOS - Detaching from Emotional DramaHowever, “letting it be” in the midst of the kind of emotional drama that’s going around now is not always all that simple!

We’re often advised by well meaning folks to “just take some deep breaths,” “meditate,” “get present by looking at your hands,” “look around at your surroundings” or “go for a walk.” These are all very helpful and certainly not bad advice.

And yet…

What if you’ve tried all that and the tightness, the doubt, the negative thoughts, the nightmares – the intense emotional drama keeps coming back like a magnet and sticking to you like glue? 

As you gaze softly at this Reiki Chakra Key for your Third Eye, ask yourself:

“What is actually stressing me out?”

 

You may feel like you’re powerless, but it doesn’t have to be that way. Take a few deep breaths with your attention on this Circle and its positive affirmation.

 


Choose to Detach

Sometimes it pays to get really creative with sticky, complicated emotions. This mind exercise is a creative way to use your natural Soul Resources proactively.

Start by gazing softly at the symbol below and just let your mind wander. You can conduct an unconscious search throughout the underlying cogs and mechanisms of your mind. You might even be able to find where the glitch is.

At some point, your attention will settle on an unresolved emotional drama.

Give a name to the emotional drama that’s visiting you right now. Have fun with it. Take whatever name comes to you without judgement.

The name of my emotional drama is “_________________”.

Continue your inquiry:

“What is the false narrative that I’m believing
about myself in this situation?”

 

Use this Circle of #1 Animal Spirits to help you communicate with your emotional drama:

Hello, “_____________”.

“What are you doing here?” and “How can I help?”

Don’t jump to any conclusions or make concessions. You are merely gathering information.

 

Ask another question using #14 Otter: “What emotional pattern are you diverting my energy to?”

The pattern is called “________________________________”.

On a scale of 1 -100, what percentage of your energy are you currently sending to the pattern?

 

If you don’t want your energy to be sidetracked into that emotional pattern anymore, use this Circle, #32 Condor, and call on her creative life force to let go of old habits and behaviors.

Mind Body IntegrationRelax and let the lines going in towards the center of this Circle go limp and loose. Or, you could melt the pattern like an iceberg melting under the heat of the Sun.

Do that both crossed and uncrossed over the midline of your body until your connection to the pattern is completely dissolved.

Deal with Projections

Emotional DramaAre unrealistic demands, shame or blame part of that emotional pattern? If so, use #18 Parrot Medicine to find those projections and break them apart. After all, they’re only reflected thoughts.

Shatter those thoughts like mirrors in a House Of Mirrors – or echos in a huge Echo Chamber.

 

You’d be surprised at how many projections there are out there!

Take a deeper look at how often people, organizations, social systems and the media project their expectations on you. No wonder you’re feeling anxious or doubting yourself!

Go ahead and break those projections apart as well. Keep breathing!

 

Ask the medicine from #9 Lizard to get more information:

“Am I holding onto abusive persons, activities or obligations? Am I ready, willing and able to let them go?

This is where it can help to open and close your hands. Move your body around and shake it off. In your mind, see yourself letting go and sending the abuse to the Light. You’re ready to leave the situation and settle down in a safe place – where you are free from the emotional drama!

 

Get some extra help from this symbol to neutralize any sticky attachments you’ve been feeling…

“I detach from destructive energies; including those that come from family members, co-workers, organizations, illnesses, and ________________.”

Keep relaxing until you feel clear.

 

Once you’ve released the stickiness, you want to make sure that this particular pattern doesn’t come back again. Use this image to help you dissolve any destructive mental or emotional patterns from your mindset.

“I relax and let my part in this emotional drama go.”

This is a positive way to use projections. Visualize any dark, threatening or heavy energies lifting up and away from you, disappearing into the Light. Keep doing that until you see yourself standing in a beautiful, open field under a clear blue sky!

Relax and let the systems that support the emotional drama collapse… it’s time to let them go completely.

 

Resolve to stop the energy drain from your body, mind and spirit. Leave behind harmful habits, distractions and drains:

“I close the door on any drain or strain on my time, space, attention or energy.”

 

Close the doors in your mind that lead to any harmful pathways that are better for you to stay away from.

“All holes are sealed and healed.”

“I follow the direction of my Soul’s protection.”

It may be like there are too many tabs open on your internet browser. Close them all down in your mind so that you may have some peace.

 

Finish by redirecting your energy to your own life; your health, your happiness and peace of mind… 100%!

Congratulations! 

You now have a powerful and creative way to deal with projections and emotional drama.

This is a great time to take a deep breath and go for a walk out in nature (always a good idea)!
