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!

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

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.

SOS for Collapse

Recovering from a Traumatic Experience: SOS For Collapse ~

SOS for CollapseAfter a traumatic experience many people feel lost, shattered or fragmented and if they don’t get a chance to reintegrate, their power and life force can easily get drained.

Moreover, if the problem isn’t addressed fairly quickly, the pattern can become ingrained, making the individual more susceptible to long-term poor health, anxiety, hopelessness and/or feeling disconnected.

Going through SOS for Collapse helps to quickly reconnect fragmented parts of your Essence and energy. By reducing the impact of shock and fear on the nervous system, patterns of hopelessness can be dispelled before they get a chance to become habitual.

SOS for Collapse - Soul Oriented SolutionsUse this formula when you are:

  • Feeling lost, scattered or out of balance
  • Anxious or upset by an experience that’s overwhelmed you
  • Weakened and want to regain your strength
  • Disoriented due to a radical change
  • Triggered by the memory of a traumatic event
  • Having a flashback or out of body experience.
  • Going through a major reorganization of consciousness.

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

Here’s how it works: Simply go through the formula while you follow the directions. Gaze softly at each image and notice any thoughts or feelings you might have in response to the words that accompany them. Some people like to write down their insights to share with a trusted counselor or friend.

You might also want to use this formula like a prayer or request for help. Remember to remain open though, because help doesn’t always come in the way we expect it to!

Caution: The use of this self-care formula is not intended to take the place of appropriate medical and/or psychiatric care when dealing with trauma and recovery. If you are having thoughts of suicide or extreme panic, call 988 or seek help immediately.

Healing Emotional Shock

Any person who is going through serious loss could experience emotional shock.

Healing Emotional ShockThe symptoms of emotional shock are disorientation, numbness, mental confusion or fragmentation. A person may even disconnect and leave their body. This includes people who are witness to traumatic experiences in some way. 

Note: If you are going through a serious physical disruption currently in your life, please go to Resolving Shock from Traumatic Events.

These are all ways that the unconscious mind protects us during a traumatic event:

  • Feeling stuck, numb, lost or helpless
  • Unable to rest or relax
  • Caught in a blank or fixed state of mind
  • Waking up at night worried, with obsessive thoughts
  • Reliving painful experiences
  • Alternately feeling trapped and shattered.

The following mind exercise uses the Intuitive Learning Circle method for healing emotional shock ~

Sometimes people who’ve just received bad news or experienced a traumatic event will tell you that they’re fine and not to worry about them. That’s because one of the main symptoms of being in shock is not being aware of being in shock. Why is that? During a shock, the mind goes blank as a form of protection.

The Brain and Emotional Shock

The shock response is natural and not a sign of spiritual, mental or emotional weakness. It is a physiological event. Nevertheless, if the person doesn’t get a chance to get grounded in their body again – or if they’re not able to – serious problems may develop. Blocked energy and a constant state of fight or flight takes its toll over time. Statements like: “I can’t think straight,” “My life was shattered” or “I feel disconnected” describe the experience of emotional shock.

If any of the above seems familiar, you can go through this mind exercise step by step to help you access your own innate healing abilities and bring yourself back into balance.

Simply follow the directions and see if you can free up some of the confusion and conflict that comes from shock. Here’s an example of how it works. Simply gaze softly at the Circle while you contemplate each of these positive affirmations:

“I reclaim and balance my five senses.”

“I focus them to be present and aware of my body.”

“I use them to become aware of my environment and what’s important to me right now.”

“I focus on life affirming actions that benefit my well-being and happiness.”

Mind Body Integration

Mind 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.

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 and that your mind and body are relaxing.
Be sure to go through the entire formula and at the end, give yourself time to rest and integrate.


Healing Emotional Shock and Confusion

Step One:

Take several deep breaths and relax while you look at this Circle that releases shock and inner conflict.

Imagine you can use it to focus in on a conflict or painful experience that’s blocking your way. If your mind is blank, relax into how “blank” it is. You may get a conscious image or message, or you may not.

Once you have a sense that your mind has found the blockage, sit back and take a couple more deep breaths. Imagine that the darkness or heaviness is like an iceberg and the Sun is melting it away with a beautiful beam of light. Allow it to melt until it’s completely gone.

Check for other blockages or conflicts that you can do the same with.

Step Two:

The next step is to bring your senses into balance so that you can see and hear things without the distortion that often accompanies shock.

As you breathe deeply, let this Circle help you to adjust the volume and pitch of your senses to just the right level for you.

Soon you will be able to hear that “calm, gentle voice” inside that reminds you about what matters the most to you:

“I see things as they really are. My senses are balanced. I reconnect with what matters the most.”

Step Three:

When a person is recovering from emotional shock, their energy may express some instability like being scattered, reversed or even shut down completely. Let this Key help you make corrections and repair any glitches, holes or blockages in your system.

Keep relaxing with it until you feel the jagged energy smoothing out and the calm energy of your Soul beginning to come through.

 

Step Four:

If your gut feels tight or uncomfortable, use this Reiki Chakra Key for your solar plexus to help you relax and get back into balance there. Your solar plexus is that soft place in your belly where your ribs go up. Just take some nice breaths and feel it relax as you say to yourself:

“It’s safe. I feel safe and more relaxed with every breath.”

Step Five:

Sometimes a person who’s had an emotional shock will be disoriented and feel a bit “out of their body.” In case that’s happening with you, take a few minutes to consciously bring yourself back into your body.

“I am at home in my center. I am inside myself.”

You can open and close your hands. Move your fingers and wiggle your toes around. Notice the time and where you are. These actions all help you recover from emotional shock.

Step Six:

Make sure that you’re no longer planted in that old experience, whatever it was. Let this Circle unearth old agreements, assumptions or conditioning that’s sucking you back into the past or holding you down.

“I uproot whatever is confusing me. I decide to get grounded in what’s true. The Earth supports me.”

There may be a lot, so take all the time you need to free yourself.

Step Seven:

Oftentimes, healing emotional shock and confusion requires a change in priorities. There may be certain plans, ideas or habitual patterns that are no longer relevant or constructive. Certain roles may get suddenly reversed. You can use this symbol for dissolving destructive blueprints to help you identify them and dissolve whatever is confusing you.

Actively imagine that the negative patterns in your mind are like heavy clouds or a jumbled maze of fears and nightmares.

Once you have the image, bring the pure light of the Sun in and dissolve the maze completely.

You’ll know that you’re done when you can see yourself standing in a beautiful open field with clear blue skies all around.

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!

Step Eight:

Seal and heal any holes, leaks or openings in your energy field. Leaky energy may open you up to danger or allow harmful energies to attach to you. It can also leave you feeling drained and exhausted.

As you gaze at the Circle, imagine harmful leaks and openings are closing as if they were never there.

“All holes are healed and sealed.”

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

 

Step Nine:

Make sure you aren’t getting sucked up into any old habits or energy drains.

“I deconstruct old habits that cause me harm.”

“I close up any energy drains so that I may recover my strength.”  

“I ask for the void to be filled in with healthy, life affirming energy.”

 

Step Ten:

Now, it’s important to make sure you’re grounded. Without proper grounding, you could get frantic, distracted and confused. That’s not what you want. What you decide to do matters now more than ever!

Let this Circle for grounding firmly on Mother Earth help you. Place both feet on the ground and your hands on each knee while you use these affirmations:

“I decide to get grounded.”
“My energy is getting coherent and the Earth supports me.”

Again, take all the time you need with this.

 

Step Eleven:

Bring your attention to the space that surrounds your body.

“I strengthen and repair my auras for greater protection.”

“I feel protected in my body and safe in my own space.”

Step Twelve.

To finish this exercise, let your heart recover. This Circle will help you to balance your heart energy and clear away any residual heaviness. Breathe deeply and take your time.

“I feel the heaviness lifting up out of my heart.”

“I let it go and send it to the Sun where it can be transformed.”

“I have the strength and resilience to shine my light.”

Now that you’re finished with the exercise, consider taking a nice walk outside. Nothing grounds you like being in nature after an emotional shock.

SOS – Overwhelm Help

If you are confused, feeling out of balance or in need of overwhelm help – Welcome! You are in the right place! 

 

SOS for PTSD and Self-care

SOS offers support for your inner journey…

What are the main reasons a person may need overwhelm help?

The first reason would be that there’s simply too much information coming at the person and their mind is not able to filter priorities properly.

Overwhelm Help #1 - Too much information

The second reason would be that the person has placed too much of their  attention and energy on a certain problem or goal that is unrealistic or cannot be accomplished under the current circumstances.

Overwhelm Help #2 - Unrealistic expectations

The third reason why a person would need overwhelm help would be that the way forward has become obscured. The circumstances are dark, dim, unclear or hard to understand.

Overwhelm Help #3 - Future is unclear

The fourth reason could be that the environment has become too toxic or chaotic for a person to be able to cope in the way that they normally would.

Overwhelm Help #4 - Toxic, chaotic environment

All of these reasons have a negative effect on your physical health and can put stress on your mental / emotional health as well.

Unfortunately, people are becoming more and more overwhelmed by sudden emotional or environmental changes, toxic entanglements or triggered PTSD episodes.

A person needing overwhelm help could experience:

  • Sudden and extreme exhaustion.
  • Fight or flight panic attacks.
  • Unexplained feelings of emergency; anxiety, depression and fear.
  • Increased irritation and susceptibility to illnesses, viruses or colds.

It’s not a good idea to remain in a fight or flight state for long. When a person is in a chronic state of overwhelm, the stage is set for depression, illness or paranoia to set in. If these symptoms are already present, the person may experience an overload or energy collapse.

The self-care formulas from SOS Soul Oriented Solutions gently interrupt
unhealthy brain activity and then replace it with constructive thoughts and energy flow.

Connecting with Hope

They are simple and easy to follow by design. When going through a formula, think of it as being gently led from a dark place into the light where you can connect with Hope. 

The Intuitive Learning Circles stimulate the central nervous system in order to assist it in its natural healing process of expelling trauma and the stuck energy that surrounds it. Using SOS as a daily practice is a powerful form of self-healing with affirmations where you can easily slow down, communicate with your unconscious and reorganize how you’re taking care of yourself.

SOS Overwhelm Help offers you support at any time
of the day or night ~

Fortunately, the five Self-care Formulas listed below are designed to help “reboot” your energy and put you back in balance when you’re feeling overwhelmed. Taking a few minutes to go through the appropriate formula will give a person immediate help for coping with emotional stress.

Introducing the SOS Symbol ~

SOS - Soul Oriented SolutionsSOS stands for Soul Oriented Solutions. The SOS symbol itself helps you tap into your Soul and get unconscious information about what is causing imbalance in you. 

The SOS symbol and formulas have been helping the public since Hurricane Katrina. Please SHARE with anyone you feel could benefit.

Directions:

Since the Intuitive Learning Circles are all about self-discovery and learning to use your intuition, it makes sense to use a simple and natural way to decide – using your intuition!

Below there’s a list of the Self-care Formulas numbered 1 – 5.
Take a moment and think about what’s going on for you and then gently gaze at the SOS symbol. Relax for a moment or two.
When you’re ready, let the SOS symbol help you access a simple “yes” or “no” answer to this question:

“Am I overwhelmed or experiencing an energy overload?

Helpful Tips

It’s important to take plenty of time with each question and continually breathe with full breaths. Shallow breathing inhibits the healing process and taking plenty of time counteracts the feeling of emergency.

In just a few minutes a person can get reconnected so that their energy feels balanced again. Cognitive function improves, negativity is dispelled and hope can return!

Whether you are living with someone who has PTSD or suffer from it yourself, these five formulas are powerful tools to keep handy.

Stop Disaster Thinking

One of the biggest challenges of facing confusing situations is the problem of disaster thinking.

It’s so easy to get sucked into negative, disaster thinking. All you have to do is turn on any form of media and within minutes you’re hit with intense waves of anger, fear, even paranoia. Before you know it, your energy is drained and you’re feeling hopeless.

Stop Disaster ThinkingOf course there are plenty of disastrous events that are actually happening. I’m not suggesting that you isolate, live in denial or surround yourself with ‘nothing to see here’ apathy. However, paying too much attention to problems while ignoring the solutions is like watching a rotten foundation collapse under your feet and assuming the rest of the building is going to stay upright and stable. It ain’t gonna happen!

Our problems can’t be solved from the same mental position they were created from. A positive balance can be struck by consciously pulling your attention and energy away from the problems and redirecting them to genuinely helpful solutions.

It may sound hard to do, but learning to stop disaster thinking can happen with a holistic approach that includes Mother Nature.

Stop Disaster Thinking in the New ParadigmWith the Intuitive Learning Circle method, you can easily use the Circles and Animal Totems below as refocusing tools. 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 kinds of situations really suck you in. At this moment, what seems to be draining you?  

An energy drain could be anything – time, work, family, politics, technology, social media or even a personal relationship.

What kind of disaster thinking comes to mind first?

Next, 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 some questions:

“What am I paying attention to and is that in my best interests?”

“What am I making up about this? Is my imagination running wild? Am I perceiving it realistically? Or, is there a combination of both?”

It’s important that you take whatever answers that come to you because they’re having a significant effect on your ability to keep your mindset positive.

 

Step 2:

Are you fixating on the problem or does your mind go blank? If so, your mental / emotional energy is feeding directly into the problem instead of solving it!

See if you can soften your thoughts and attention by relaxing with this Circle. Breathe into it and visualize the lines getting all soft and wavy, like limp, loose spaghetti noodles.

Once you’re relaxed, you can move any blockages out of the way.

 

Step 3.

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 myself? Are those productive thoughts?”

If they are productive, great! Make them even stronger. If they’re not productive, you may need to release fixated thoughts again with Step 2.

What kind of thoughts and decisions would be better for you to follow? Don’t judge, just relax and let this Circle help you turn your thoughts around. Oftentimes when we change the direction of our thoughts and decisions, the situation begins to change too.

 

Step 4.

Do you need to change any intentions that are interfering with your health or happiness? If you do, it’s time to surrender them like old ashes out of a shaman’s prayer pipe.

What is a simple intention that would be more beneficial now?

 

Step 5.

Use this Soul Prayer Chart to help you communicate with your Soul’s new intentions using the lighter, easier flow of life force available in the new Age of Aquarius (Air).

Start by closing down old, harmful energy channels from the Piscean Age (Water).

“I close down all harmful energy channels.”

“All aspects of my mind, body and nervous system are receiving helpful, generative life force. I am able to connect to communication channels with my Soul.”

 

Step 6.

As you gaze at this Reiki Chakra Key for balancing your Crown Chakra, ask yourself:

“Am I willing to align my chakra system with this new communication channel and generative life flow?”

If the answer you get is “no,” what is the mindset that you’re experiencing? Is it creating a problem or a solution? What would help?

If the answer is “yes,” use your imagination to integrate with that energy.  Pull your energy away from disaster thinking and bring it back to connect with your Soul. This may take a while. Take a break, move around or stretch for a few minutes.

 

Step 7.

If you’ve decided to take good care of yourself, seal up those drains in your energy field – nice and secure.

“All leaks and drains affecting my energy are closing down and shutting off in accordance with my highest good.”

This puts you in a better mindset to re-direct all that energy to the care and feeding of your body, mind and Soul!

 

Step 8.

Use this Circle to help connect you with your heart center which will empower your highest good.

“I am empowered to make beneficial decisions and maintain my highest good – for my own sake and the sake of others.”

Again, this may take a few minutes to integrate, so do what you are inspired to do. Move around and stretch if you like.

 

 

Step 9:

Check into your sense of direction…

“Am I clear and heading in the direction that’s genuinely helpful to me?”

If you’re confused, relax and let Dog Medicine help you get back on track.

 

Step 10.

Imagine that your spirit can turn you towards the direction of your highest good and close the door completely on all that disaster thinking. 

“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 pulled yourself out of disaster thinking.

 

Congratulations!

Now that you know how to use the Circles and how they can help, you might want to experiment some more. There’s a list of possibilities in the next section.

Learning Resiliency - Extra-intuitive Activities

How Can You Choose a Mind Exercise or Self-care Formula That Will Further Help You?

There are three processes that I recommend in this situation:

    1. Clear any ptsd you’re re- experiencing with Healing Emotional Shock.
    2. Strengthen your gut instinct and self-healing powers with Trust Your Gut Instinct.
    3. Head in the right direction with Develop Clear Perception.

 

Take a look at the red symbol below and ask your heart:
“Which strengthening exercise would help me, right now? Process #1.. 2.. or 3?”

SOS - Soul Oriented Solutions

Remember to take the very first answer that comes to you, because that’s your intuition (Inner Wisdom) speaking. If more than one process comes up, make a mental note of the order they came to you. Start with the one that came first, then see if you need more help.

Once you have your process number, go ahead and click on the link to that number and follow the directions.

This is the intuitive way to decide which process would help you with disaster thinking right now!
