Retrain Your Mind To Go For Joy

Why does joy elude us? Because the mind is busy going for other things. Like “winning,” being “right,” “desirable” or “perfect.”

Yet, when you retrain your mind to go for “joy” rather than “perfection,” amazing things start to happen…

Retrain Your Mind to Go For Joy

For a lot of us, a tremendous amount of our energy has been focused on externally sourced goals. We try so hard to win, to look good, to escape punishment or to be “right.” Sadly, many of us are taught that we’re supposed to be perfect, so that’s what we’ve trained the mind to go for.

Retrain Your Mind - Let Go of "Being Perfect"But what does “perfection” mean? Whose definition of being perfect are we using? Our parents? Mom? Dad? Our boss? Our family? Religion? The media? All of these definitions are externally sourced and full of contradictions.

More often than not, “perfection” simply means doing what somebody else wants us to do. No wonder so many of us are spinning around, chasing after a hundred different things! Going for perfection usually creates pressure, confusion and an overwhelmed mind!

0n the other hand, going for joy usually creates more joy – which connects us with our true creative spark, which seems as though it would be much better. You can use Hummingbird Medicine to help your mind tune into the energetics of Joy:

If you would like to experiment with this idea, go through Retrain Your Mind to Go for Joy and see what happens to your mood and point of view!


Welcome to Intuitive Learning in the New Paradigm – Mind Exercises to Retrain Your Mind to Go for Joy Rather than “Perfection.”

~ with Rheanni Lightwater, CHT, CKP

Rheanni Lightwater - Retrain Your MindThe Intuitive Learning Circles are a great tool to help you retrain your mind to successfully move away from the internal conflict that comes from having to be perfect. This short exercise will get you started. I’ve put it together to help you discover a way to refocus on internally sourced goals that are joyful and genuinely meaningful for you! All you have to do is relax and gaze softly at the Circles while you gently contemplate the affirmations or questions that go with them. Here’s an example:

“I reclaim and balance my five senses.”

“I fine tune them to be present and aware of my Soul and its purpose.”

“I use them to become aware of interference, obstacles and false ideas about perfection.”

“I am motivated to focus on beneficial solutions, opportunities and joy.”


An important note about Mind Body Integration ~ 

Retrain Your Mind for Mind Body IntegrationThe brain and body communicate through different channels when a part of you is crossed over the center of your body. As you go through the steps, cross and uncross a hand or foot over the midline of your body when you gaze at each Circle. Use a soft focus and breathe patiently. This will help you integrate your thinking more fully so that you can be more creative. If you have any negative self-talk, let it go by breathing through it.

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


Changes in the flow of your environment may cause the energy in your subtle energy field to start running in reverse or shut down entirely. 

Take a few breaths and let this symbol help you make corrections. Relax and sense your overall energy. If it feels jagged or disjointed, stay with the Key until the energy smooths out and you can begin to feel the energy of your Soul coming through. Affirm this intention both crossed and uncrossed over the midline of your body:

“I repair the glitches, holes and blockages in my energy system.”

Please note: You may need to do this several times during the course of this exercise…


 

Okay, so let’s begin to retrain your mind…

Step One: In your current situation, who or what is defining “perfection” for you?

Perhaps it’s the media or something you learned at home or in school.

Wherever it came from, does that definition create joy for you? Is it creating more balanced prosperity? What about freedom or equality? Does it help you to find Common Ground with others?

So, what are you actually asking your mind to accomplish?

 

Step Two: How much of your energy have you been sending to this definition?

If it were a percentage, what might it be?

10%? 20%? 50% or more?

Would you like to send that energy to create more joy in this situation instead?

 

Step Three: Imagine you can retrain your mind to reorganize itself around “joy,” rather than “perfection.”

Place the word “Joy,” in the center, open space of the Circle and soften your gaze. Relax. While you’re doing this, the Circle may seem to rotate, spin or even change colors. If that happens – go with it. Release control of the experience and let your thoughts re-arrange themselves. Your new goal may turn into images, experiences, colors, sounds or movements. Let it happen! You will know that the process is complete when the energy subsides.

Try the same with “Balanced Prosperity,” “Freedom” and “Equality”.
You can get up and move around if you like. Take all the time that you need so you can align with the inner guidance system of your Soul!

 

Step Four: Think about your situation again and bring your senses into balance by focusing on the center open space of this Circle.

Ask your heart: “What do I really want to accomplish?”

 

Step Five: Take a moment to clarify your intention through your Third Eye Chakra. Focus inwardly on what’s most important for you.

Chakra Healing - Third Eye Chakra

Remember to keep breathing!

 

Step Six: Clear the energy in your Heart Chakra so you can connect your ideas about Joy with the true creative spark of your life force.

From there, connect with your other intentions for balanced prosperity, etc.

Keep directing the energy to the center open space of the Circle. Doing so will help you bring your true intentions more fully into the center of your life!

 

Step Seven: How might you approach your life situation differently now? What action can you take that will help you know you’re going for joy?

How is it different when you go for balanced prosperity, freedom and equality?

 

Step Eight: Confirm that you’re ready to move on rather than fall back into old mindsets about “perfection”.

Protection

Is there anything that you need to do to keep you from returning to past patterns that are harmful to you?

 

Step Ten: Clear destructive patterns out of your mind. Use this symbol for dissolving destructive blueprints to gather up all your connections to those old mindsets and send them to the Light.

“I dissolve the destructive mental and emotional blueprints  from my mind. 

All harmful patterns and my connections to them are transmuted by the Light.”

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 Eleven: Now that you’ve cleared out the perfectionism, close the door on all that past suffering to complete the process.

“I close the door on all that confusion.” 

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

It’s time to take a break and give your mind less to have to think about.

Congratulations! Going for joy rather than perfection is a central concept of the Intuitive Learning Circles that will help you to live and prosper in the New Paradigm of Common Ground based on co-operation, equality and balanced prosperity.

Self Love: A Quiz on Self-care

Are You Showing Up For Yourself? A Self Love Quiz & Self-care Alignment

Self Love Quiz

The world is filled with advice about how to do this and that. How to find love… how to be happy… what you need to wear… how you need to look. The advertising in the media has an agenda and unconsciously you know what it is: “You’re not good enough as you are – buy our product and you will instantly be fixed!”

Your own mind may be constantly fussing about the past – what you did or didn’t do – or you may be worrying about the future. Especially lately, it’s all too easy to get caught up in external dramas and ignore how important it is to stay grounded and keep our mind’s calm.  

In times like this it’s obvious that what most people really need and want is love. But how can we get there? The way that seems to work best is to remind ourselves through self love. Unfortunately, we often forget to show up for ourselves and in the process, we miss out on what we want the most! 

You can take this short self love quiz that uses Angelic guidance and your Essential Self to help remind you that you are a being of Love.

All you need to do is gaze softly at each symbol while you read the affirmation or question that goes with it. 

Begin by Asking for Help from Angelic Beings of Light.

Imagine that you can ask them: “Please, help me slow down and understand how to love myself better…

When it comes to ________ am I showing up for myself?” 

The answer you get may be “yes,” “no,” “sometimes” or “not lately.”

 

Continue your inquiry using this Mandala from Kuan Yin to help you access truthful information:

“Do I often show up more for others than I do for myself?”

“Do I easily get caught up in deceit, dramas and confusion?”

Truth Mandala

“Do I include myself in the equation of creating Love?”

 

“If I show up more for others than myself a lot, what is my purpose in doing so?

If I get caught up in other people’s agenda’s, deceit, dramas or confusion a lot, what is my purpose in doing that?”

“Am I doubling down on harmful habits or mistaken ideas? Is that helping me? How much energy do I use doing these things? How much do I lose?

Is that really the best thing for everyone in the long run?”

 

Are you ready to realign your energy to include what’s best for you? If so, that is self love! Ask your angels to help you fill your Self with strength and courage to love yourself better. Imagine that with every breath, you are filling up with love and light. Here’s a couple of positive affirmations that could help:

“I am important. When I am grounded and love myself, I am grounding Love on the planet.”

 

Self-love Quiz

With this Reiki Chakra Key, become aware of your solar plexus – the soft area in front just below where your ribs go up. 

This is the area where your Essential Self is properly positioned.

In stressful times, it’s pretty common for the Essential Self to get closed off, misplaced or dissociated.

Gazing gently at the Key will help your Essence get re-connected, centered and balanced.

 

See if you can relax that area and allow positive energy to flow into it with this affirmation:

“I am present and included in the equation of creating Love.”

If you do Reiki, you can send it like a bull’s eye – right to the center of this Circle and your solar plexus.

If there are aspects of your Essential Self that aren’t present or receiving Love, ask for numbers between 1 – 42 from The Essential Human to call them back and center them in your Solar Plexus Chakra.

 

Now gently look at this symbol and ask your Essential Self:

“Is there something I need to think, do, change or have that would help me to attract more love into my life?”

 

Whatever your answer to that question is, imagine that you can connect with that truth  – like the lines that are connecting in with the center of this symbol for Divine Connection:

“I connect my Essence with truthful channels of communication.” 

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

 

Are there any remaining blockages? If so, ask if any numbers between 1 – 73 from Divine Nature Activated would help to clear them.

“I clear away epigenetic patterns that block my experience of Self Love.”

 

Now you can redirect how you’re using your energy. These positive affirmations will help you:

“I am ready and able to receive the Love that emanates from my Soul.

I am a being of Love. I am part of the equation. I am part of the solution.

I allow myself to receive the benefits of sending Love out into the world.”

If you are a member of our learning community, you might want to get extra assistance from Gifts from the Rainforest. If that’s the case, choose a number between 1 – 58 and click through to get guidance from that plant, animal or nature medicine.

 

Sit back and relax a moment – allow yourself to receive what you need most. Imagine what it would feel like if you allowed Love to move freely through your being – through your life – like a gentle wind. Let your Essential Self daydream as long as you want.

 

Now imagine that your Angels are surrounding you with courage, strength and determination to be the very best that you can be!

 

Finish your self love quiz by imagining you’re facing the Sun and radiating the benefit of its life-giving, positive rays.

“I decide to follow my Inner Light and Divine Guidance.”

 

Finish by making sure that your auras are strong and focused.

“My auric field is strong and organized to radiate self-love and ________.”

 

Now you’re ready to ask questions again:

“Am I showing up for myself? 

Do I Love who I am? Am I receiving Love?

Am I able to radiate Love out into the world?”

Old Soul

If the answer is “yes,” congratulations

If the answer is “sometimes,” you’re making progress…

If the answer is “no,” decide to begin today. It’s never too late!

Feng Shui

Discover the Art of Space Clearing and Feng Shui in Santa Fe ~

Since 2002, Rheanni Lightwater has been combining her medical intuitive skills with Feng Shui to create greater health and prosperity to help us as we evolve into the energy of the  New Paradigm. Today, Soul Resources is excited to offer this form of Feng Shui in Santa Fe and New Mexico!

Feng Shui in Santa Fe

Feng shui (pronunced “fung shway”) is a Chinese term that means “wind and water” symbolizing the natural flow of “chi” or life energy that flows through our environment and supports life. Predating Taoism and Confucianism, this ancient art of flow and placement in one’s environment has been used to facilitate balance and well being in every important aspect of life.

Feng Shui in Santa Fe can make a real difference in the ch’i of your home and the success of your business by:

  • Creating a more balanced and harmonious atmosphere.
  • Grounding a sense of safety and stability.
  • Clearing your space of stagnant, toxic or disturbing influences.
  • Freeing your property of any old baggage and negative history from the past or previous occupants including: bankruptcy, criminal activity, death, illness, divorce, etc.
  • Accessing a generative flow of life force to support life-affirming goals.

In addition, Rheanni can provide simple, effective recommendations about placement, balance, colors, or any elements to add, move or take away.


Feng Shui in Santa Fe Creates Common Ground

Recent changes in the Earth’s electro-magnetic grid have challenged us by causing a collapse in the electro-magnetic fields that support our buildings and community infrastructures.

We now have a unique opportunity to detach from the old patriarchal grids and reset our internal and external Feng Shui grids to generate Common Ground for equality, personal responsibility, co-operative action and balanced prosperity! 

If you are:

  • Easily overwhelmed by having too much to do
  • Feeling unstable and having trouble staying grounded
  • Running around in circles, getting little constructive done
  • Experiencing rough communications and emotional volatility
  • Having difficulty staying on track with your goals, or alternately
  • Feeling very stuck and unable to move

Rheanni Lightwater specializes in helping you clear the static and make a change for the better. She offers Covid-safe space clearing and Feng Shui in the counties of Santa Fe and Bernalillo in New Mexico.

Finding Moderation In the New Paradigm

Do You Feel Overwhelmed About What’s Next? Finding Moderation is the Key to Navigating Extremes.

Rheanni Lightwater

Transformation Games - Finding ModerationKuan Yin has been helping us to transition from the old paradigm based on greed and extremism to a new paradigm of equality, peaceful co-operation and balanced prosperity. Her advice about finding moderation springs from the I Ching, an ancient book of divination that follows the flow of the cosmos. Because of that, her insight comes from a different perspective than ours.

Kuan Yin’s Readings and Transformation Games can help you to identify problems, change your focus to positive solutions, ground yourself and get in the present. Simply relax and gaze at the Circles while contemplating Kuan Yins words. Your intuition will come forward and give you the help that you seek.


Welcome to the I Ching Reading and Transformation Game for: Hexagram # 15 – Finding Moderation

Todays Intuitive Reading - Moderation

“In times of difficulty and danger, it’s usually best to move with the flow of MODERATION, Hexagram #15, where ‘The predominant forces … are in the process of balancing extremes and harmonizing interests.’ ~ The I Ching Workbook, R.L. Wing, Random House, NYC, NY, 1979

The ancient Chinese text describes finding MODERATION as the best way to make progress amidst chaos. The suggestion is to disengage from confusing extremes or opinionated attitudes and instead, follow the guidance that comes from within. In almost any situation, if you are able to walk the middle road between extremes, there will be improvement in whatever you undertake.”

Finding Moderation and Following that Path ~

As a general rule, MODERATION is the most sensible flow to follow, especially since so much chaos is playing out in the wake of environmental, political and social change. The karma for deeply held misunderstandings and conflicts has been activated and people are dealing it in a variety of ways.

Most people are navigating through one or another of these general karmic patterns:

  1. Getting pulled into a negative mental, emotional, physical or spiritual decline.
  2. Stubbornly stuck in willful indifference or self-righteous denial.
  3. Elevated by greed, hatred, resentment or revenge.
  4. Getting scattered or lost survival patterns from the past, or
  5. Pulling themselves together into a centered position of balance and stability.

Initial Evaluation: As you softly gaze at this Circle, see which of these patterns you are currently experiencing. Ask yourself:

“Am I generally experiencing pattern #1, 2, 3, 4 or 5?”

It could easily be a mix, depending on your mindset and what stage of the karma you’re living through.

Regardless of what’s happening, you can make your life easier by letting go of old agreements or karma that’s over and done with. This game will help you do that.

First, Let’s Address Conflict that’s Caused by Collective Shock.

Let’s face it. The past decade has been filled with one jarring event after another. Consequential changes are happening daily. Give yourself and others a break by realizing that you might be caught in a reactive pattern because you’ve received so many repeated shocks to your system. See what happens if you look at this Circle and relax for a minute or so. Breathe deeply and imagine that the conflicts in your mind are melting away like ice melting under the light of the Sun.

You may find that your attachment to those reactive patterns could melt away as well!


Mind Body Integration

Mind Body IntegrationFor best results, look at each symbol both crossed over the midline of the body and uncrossed so that the correction is more complete.

Feel free to move at any time in any way to help you embody your experience!


The Underlying Structures of Our Lives Are Changing Rapidly.

From wildfires to hurricanes and power outages to socio/political chaos, it’s important to acknowledge the continuous and ongoing effect that the stress is having on us. Use this Circle to help you deconstruct the recurring karma and close up any drains that are exhausting you.

“I shut down all drains that are causing me to lose energy.”

“I deconstruct harmful habits and holes in my energy field.”

 

Finding Moderation in Your Emotional Responses.

Release Your Attachments to the Old Paradigm.

The old status quo was built on extreme and oppressive social, religious and moral dogmas that used force and fear to control others. Most of us are still tapping into that divisiveness in one way or another because we’ve been wired to react to events out of defensiveness (fear), attack (outrage) or submission (giving up).

It would be wise to detach from those ways of handling ourselves because they have lost their ground. To find out if you’re still giving them power, ask yourself:

“Am I unconsciously tapping into extreme emotions?”

Water – Emotional Energy

Remember, emotions are just energy in motion. They are not solid things and they aren’t who you are! Let this Soul Prayer Chart help you find the flow of harmful emotions that are running through your mind so that you can effectively detach from them.

 

The recent change from the Piscean Age (Water) to the Aquarian Age (Air) has caused some instability in how we process our thoughts and emotions. You can decide that your response to events can be more Air based than Water based. Here are some suggested affirmations to use with this diagram:

“I decide to bring my intuition and common sense into balance.”

“I lead with sensible thought rather than emotional reactions.”

“I do my best to keep my mind positive and my intention clear.”

My wellbeing is important and I decide to stay balanced and moderate my responses.”

 

Release Codependent Behaviors.

Protect Yourself from Being Dumped On or Scapegoated.

To Each Their Own

In times of increased conflict and instability, it’s common for people who want to avoid responsibility to systemically dump their issues, problems and karma onto others who they hope will accept the blame.

You don’t have to accept the blame anymore. Send those issues back – to each their own!

People who have a tendency to take on other people’s problems are often mistakenly organizing their life around the problem and being “the fixer.”

If you’ve been trained that you need to be liked or to fix things when other people are unhappy, you can trap yourself by taking on more than your part of a difficult situation. You can clarify this by asking yourself these questions:

“What is my part in this situation?  What am I actually responsible for?”

“Is my desire to help joyful, or has it become twisted in some way?”  

If it’s twisted, relax with the Circle and let it unwind. Now you can find moderation in what’s motivating you.

“What action could I take in this situation that would actually be helpful?”

 

When we buy into codependent behaviors, we are inadvertently complicating matters and preventing things from working themselves out in a simpler, more direct way.

To help you set things right, use this symbol with the affirmations to release attachments to the malaise of codependent and destructive behavior:

“I let go of attachments and blame. I detach from sticky, toxic energies.”

I create autonomy and resilient optimism.”

Like a healing balm, imagine that a loving coat of peace and comfort is pouring down over you!

 

This Correction Key will also help. Use these positive affirmations:

“I correct or move past reversals, blockages and jagged energies.”

“I have a clear and direct connection with my Soul.”

 


Let Go of Harmful Karmic Agreements and Energies.

Use this Soul Contract Circle to help you identify and release any social, familial or religious agreements that prevent you from being present for yourself or that pull you out of balance. Simply gaze softly at the Circle while you use the affirmations. 

“I release any agreement that says I’m powerless or have no choice.”

“I release all agreements to allow myself to be shamed, blamed or manipulated in any way.”

“I let go of my agreements to stay stuck in or comply with harmful behaviors associated with the old paradigm.” (extremism, slavery, deceit, greed, prejudice, intimidation, control, manipulation, dishonesty, people pleasing, etc.)

“I stay away from _____________.”  “I can say ‘no’ to ___________.”
“I clarify my priorities and communicate them directly, with kindness.”
“I have autonomy over my body, my mind, my energy and how I use them.”

Let Go of Intentions That You Don’t Need Anymore.

Release yourself from intentions with family, friends or business relationships that cause conflict and block your ability to move forward freely. Consider old jobs, organizations you’ve been involved with – religious institutions, political agendas, completed projects, hobbies, places you’ve lived, modes of transportation, ways of communicating or doing business, etc.

“I let go of out-dated, extreme or conflicting intentions that are harmful to me.”

What intentions will actually serve you now? Do they need to be clarified, simplified or re-organized? What do you need to have happen for yourself?

“My intentions are moderate, helpful and life affirming.”

 

Unearth Old Emotional Garbage and Karmic Patterns.

Use this symbol for Dissolving Destructive Blueprints to identify and release any mental or emotional patterns that are causing you harm. See the Light opening up so that you can surrender them:

“I gather destructive patterns or energies and release them to the Light.
I dissolve my connection to them, so that they may be set free and transformed.”

Please note: Never send pain or harmful energies into the Earth to be neutralized, she already has too much to handle now. Use the Earth for planting seeds of life, health and happiness – not death, illness and unhappiness!

Close the Door on Harmful Paths or Unnecessary Suffering.

Finish this part of the game by closing the door on harmful activities, agendas and pathways that lead back to unhealthy patterns. Take all the time you need. There are probably a lot of them.

“All doors and pathways that lead to suffering are sealed and healed.”
“I follow the direction of my Soul’s protection.”

Congratulations! You will probably want to take a short break to move around and let all this integrate. Come back in a few minutes, so you can apply all this newfound freedom to your future!

 

Refocus Your Energy to Clarify Your Priorities.

Visualize what’s truly important to you in the center open space of this Circle. Do you feel uncentered? Is your energy scattered? If so, take a moment to center yourself in your solar plexus area and aim your energy in the center open space like a bull’s eye.  

“I center myself and consciously direct my energy towards truly beneficial activities and priorities.”

Don’t forget to include appropriate rest, fun and relaxation!

 

Recalibrate Your Energy to Truly Support What You Need Now.

Devote your energy to finding MODERATION in how you use your energy.

“I connect with my Heart Center and am guided by my true Spiritual Source.”

“I exist and am empowered to create a hopeful future and ________.”

 

Finish by Invoking Protection and Clarity of Mind:

Gaze softly at this symbol for Divine Protection and generative life force in the New Paradigm. 

“I close down all harmful energy channels from the past.”

“My mind is open and clear to receive generative life force.”
“I learn to utilize the generative flow of chi’ to successfully manifest and communicate.”

Welcome to the Middle Road! You probably feel much more balance. Go back to the Initial Evaluation for the game and see what has changed.

If you feel complete, congratulations! Go out for a walk to integrate and get grounded.

If you feel incomplete, you can continue to the Extra-intuitive Activities part of this process and let go of a few extreme collective mindsets that can get in the way of finding MODERATION:

There are several other decisions to explore that might really improve how you’re dealing with your situation.

Extreme #1: The need to be liked and approved of by others.

Here is the prime example, ‘Being liked = being important and having purpose.’ You might want to let go of that, because this is a terrible time to base your self-worth on how other people react to you.

“I decide that my worth comes from within. I let go of the need for approval.”

“I build my relationships out of sincere goodwill from my heart, not from projected expectations of self-importance.”

 

Extreme #2: The ‘more is better’ ‘faster is better’ or ‘bigger is better’ syndrome.

For example: The Sun is good, however too much Sun causes cancer. Butter is good, yet too much butter causes weight gain, etc. Another social meme that explains the mindset is: ‘The sky is the limit. I want it all now, so I should be able to have it all now!’ 

“I am clear about who I am and what’s in my best interest.

“I decide that clear, MODERATE limits enhance my wellbeing.”

Use this Circle like a mirror and clear away any markings or old graffiti that obscure the pure energy signature of your Soul.

 

 

Extreme #3: The ‘I’m not doing enough/doing too much” dichotomy.

Finding MODERATION means putting in just the right amount of effort to get the desired result. Think Goldilocks – not too much and not too little… just right.

If you’re uncomfortable because you’re feeling blocked or scattered, there may be a good reason. Do you know what it is? Suddenly heading off into fifteen different directions will probably backfire on you badly.

If you’re sending your energy in too many directions, stop and regain your center. Thoughtful consideration about what you really need is what’s most important now.

“What do I really need to focus on right now? What will help me do that?”

 

Congratulations!

Now that you’ve made choices about finding moderation you can bring order and new happiness into your environment!”


For many people, finding MODERATION signifies an opportunity to go within and expel deep patterns of fanaticism within their psyche so that they can evolve and arise from that pattern, much as a beautiful lotus arises from the muck and mire at the bottom of a pond.”

Learning from Danger

Increase Your Awareness by Learning from Danger

Transformation Game - Learning from DangerKuan Yin has been helping us through these Transformation Games to transition from the old economic paradigm based on greed and fear to a new paradigm of co-operation, equality and balanced prosperity.

Today, her advice about learning from danger springs from the I Ching, an ancient book of divination that follows the flow of the cosmos. Because of that, her advice and instruction comes from a different perspective than ours.

To help you better connect with her assistance, she uses the Intuitive Learning Circles to communicate with you through meditation, affirmations and visualization.

For best results playing a Transformation Game, look at each Circle both crossed over the midline of the body and uncrossed so that the correction is more complete.

 

Kuan Yin’s I Ching Readings and Transformation Games can help you to identify problems, change your focus to positive solutions, ground yourself and get in the present. Simply relax and gaze at the Circles while contemplating Kuan Yins words. Your intuition will come forward and give you the help that you seek.


Welcome to the I Ching Reading and Transformation Game for: Hexagram # 29 – Learning from Danger

Learning from Danger

“There are times when none of our efforts to solve a problem have been effective and the way out of DANGER is blocked. Often, all that you may do is wait. Yet, even when that is the case, there are still things that you can do to become more aware of yourself by learning from DANGER

‘Frequent encounters with DANGER are a part of life. Beyond making you inwardly strong, familiarity with DANGER, like the near brush of death, can instill in you a profound awareness of the life force and the mysterious nature of the cosmos. Such heightened awareness can bring new meaning, determination and richness into your life.’ ~The I Ching Workbook, R.L Wing

Generally, the text from Hexagram #29 talks about DANGER that exists in your immediate environment. Responding correctly is really about Right Action – knowing when and how to take action with clarity of mind. Sometimes it’s best to take minimal action or do nothing at all. Awareness and keeping your wits about you are really the keys.”

Learning from Danger – A Transformation Game

This Game uses the Intuitive Learning Circles to help you gain a deeper understanding of the dangers facing you. You may know that something’s wrong and not be able to specify the details of what you need to be aware of. This game can help you identify it.  Or, you may have awareness of the danger, but not know what to do about it. In addition, your desires could be leading you into danger time and time again and you’re not learning from it. You can use this game to explore what that’s about and see if there’s something you can do to transcend the habit.


Step One: Access Your Gut Instincts.

Simply relax and gaze softly at this Reiki Chakra Key to open and balance your Third Chakra located at your Solar Plexus (the soft area in the front where your ribs go up).

In times of danger, it’s not unusual for the chakra system to get pulled out of balance. Let this Soul Star Detachment Key help you clear your energy field of toxins. Relax and mend any energetic wounds that are associated with toxic materials such as smoke, chemicals, heavy energies or viruses. 

Like a healing balm, imagine that a loving coat of peace and comfort is pouring down over you.

Step Two: Balance Your Senses.

When DANGER is present, It’s essential to see things as they really are. See if you can remedy any “blind spots” or confusion by gazing softly at this Reiki Chakra Key for the five senses, together with these positive affirmations:

“I reclaim and balance my five senses.”

“I use them to be present and make sense of my current conditions and environment.”

“They help me to clear blind spots and confusion.”

“I use them to be aware of DANGER and find helpful solutions.”

“I sense things as they are really happening.”

Note: You may want to go back up to the Chakra Key for Detachment to strengthen the clearing action.

 

Step Three: Connect with Your Instinctual Nature.

Tune into your psyche, your instincts and your connection to the natural world. Make a commitment to pay attention to signals from Nature and learn to respect the power of Mother Earth’s energies.

“I connect with my natural instincts, my timing and Soul resources.”

“I pay attention to my environment and allow it to inform me about elements of concern.”

Dragonfly Medicine

 

Step Four: Slow down.

Danger often comes from being in too much of a hurry and trying to push our way through. Sometimes, it’s the opposite – we’re not taking action when we know in our hearts that it’s in our best interest to do so!

Gaze softly at the Circle to help you slow down and unwind any confusion around what’s really important. Take several deep breaths. Keep inhaling and exhaling until you’ve relaxed and your mind has slowed down.

“I slow down and allow my true priorities to reveal themselves.”

Sloth Medicine

 

Step Five: Uncover Your Awareness of the Danger.

Gently contemplate this Circle that accesses your intuition and unconscious awareness of a danger you are facing now. Imagine that you can gather up that inner library of experience and see what kind of knowledge comes forward.

Take your time and let the information emerge. Ask yourself:

“What is the real danger about? Is something about to happen? Is there anything or anyone in my environment that is dangerous to me or others? If so, where are they and what affect are they having?”

Vulture Medicine

“How much harm is this situation causing for me and for others?”

“Are there any extreme or narcissistic behaviors that I need to be aware of? 

Snake Medicine

“Am I returning to harmful energy patterns from the old paradigm that are interfering with my ability to handle this situation to my best ability?” 

“Is anyone trying to exert control over me or my environment?”

Amazon Ant Medicine

“Is there some kind of negative influence hovering over one of my projects?”

 

“Am I allowing my emotional reactions to pull me out of balance?”
“If so, how is that affecting me?”
“Does that tendency put me in any DANGER?”

WATER – the Emotional Element

It can help to remember that emotions are merely energy in motion and they don’t belong to anyone. They just exist.
Whatever you decide about an emotion or group of emotions is what gives you agency over them. If you decide that you have authority over how you respond to emotions you also have power over your actions and the consequences of those actions.
If you decide that you are powerless over emotions, you are like a rudderless boat in a sea of chaos.

 

Six Six: Ask for Empowerment from Your Source.

Empower your ability to respond to emotional energy and the DANGER that may be present in an effective way.
Use Divine Connection from Soul Prayer Charts to tap into the personal power that comes from your Source.

“I exist and am empowered to control my actions for my protection and benefit.”
“I come from a place of Gratitude and Joy, rather than fear or vengeance.”

 

Step Seven: See it Calmly and With Discernment.

First, let’s make a couple of corrections that will improve your awareness of your situation…

Is any part of you getting caught up in harmful power games? If so, breathe deeply and gaze at this DNA symbol from Kuan Yin. The more relaxed you are, the better these work. Use the positive affirmations to help:

“I let go of harmful manipulations and power ploys.”

“I decide to accept responsibility for my own decisions.”

 

If you’re having trouble seeing your way or understanding the DANGER, relax with this symbol.

“I cut through the smoke screen that blocks clear perception.”

 

Do you have a tendency to make things harder than they need to be? If so, imagine a wall of thorny tangles surrounding you and blocking you in.
Then, just imagine them dissolving or melting away..
Remember to relax and gaze at the symbol softly, both crossed and uncrossed over the midline of your body for best results.
“I release thorny complications and conflicts.”
“I stop trying to make things more complicated than they are.”

“I decide to allow simple solutions for my problems.”
“I am open to and embrace simplicity.”

 

Imagine that you are surrounded with a soft blanket of protection.

“I receive a divine sense of safety from the Divine Masculine and Feminine In all aspects of my life.”

 

Imagine that a beautiful, golden DNA strand is connecting in with your heart, giving you strength and resilience. Keep relaxing with these affirmations:

“I ask the Divine Feminine and Masculine to assist me in times of
fear and violence.”

DNA - Guidance from Angelic Realms

“I hold the victory of Love in mind.”

 

Step Eight: Dissolve Destructive Blueprints.

Imagine that the symbol below can help you clear destructive patterns that may be blocking or threatening you. Lift them completely off of you and send them to the Light.

“I dissolve the dangerous imprints of ________ and any connection I have ever had to them. I clear my field of destructive habits and the mental / emotional patterns that cause them. I send them all to the Light.” 

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 Nine: Apply Clear Perception to What’s Happening Now.

The DANGER may be upsetting. Don’t get carried away (remember that viruses and other destructive energies feed off of strong emotions). 

So, breathe with this Circle and let it help you adjust the volume and bring your senses back to a comfortable level. They could have bumped up too high, too loud or intense. If it helps, you can use these affirmations:

“I calm down and get back into balance. I connect with my common sense. I perceive things as they are.”

 

Step Ten: Adapt to the Changes In Your Environment.

This symbol provides an interface and filter to assist us in making the functional transition from the old paradigm of Water (Piscean Age) to the New Paradigm Air (Aquarian Age).

“I close down any harmful energies that I might still be open to. I have Divine Protection.”

Divine Protection

“I am open to receiving generative life force. I connect with new, improved
lines of communication. I am learning to apply this beneficial energy to my life.”

This would be a good time to take a break. Get some water. Walk around. Stretch. Let this integrate before you continue…

 

Step Eleven: Clarify the Right Action(s) to Take.

Use this Circle to help you identify possible solutions that you can honestly take upon yourself without placing yourself in further, unnecessary danger. Explore different scenarios until you find a response that makes sense.

“What is an action I could take that would be genuinely helpful to me?”

Seed Medicine

“Is there something in particular that I need to refrain from?”

 

“Is there something else I need to learn from danger in this situation?”

Wasp Medicine

 

“What else do I need to nourish myself appropriately?”

Butterfly Medicine

Make a note of the suggestions that come. Times of danger can be filled with distractions that make it easy to forget. 

 

‘Am I centered and putting out the kind of intention that will bring the results I really want?”

River Otter Medicine

If not, use this affirmation with the Circle and see if you can change it:

“I put out __________ in alignment with my highest good and __________ is returned to me.”

 

 

Step Twelve: Repair and Refocus Your Auras.

At the end of a game like this, it’s important to make sure that any holes or tears in your auras are repaired and refocused, especially when there are so many chaotic toxins floating around!

“My auras are sealed, repaired and refocused.”
“The healing protection for my body is strengthened.”


Gaze at this chart both crossed and uncrossed over the midline of your body to make sure they are completely repaired.

 

Step Thirteen: To manage yourself well in dangerous times, be sure that you are grounded and centered in the New Paradigm.

Get your feet on the ground and connect with the positive energy of Mother Earth.

 

Step Fourteen: Close the Doors to Actions that Would Invite Further Danger.

Your unconscious mind knows what’s helpful and what’s harmful to your body, mind and spirit. It’s time to close the door on any harmful pathways that are still open in your mind. See them disappear, as if they were never there.

“All harmful pathways are sealed and healed.”

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

 

Congratulations on your newfound awareness about learning from danger!

“The time of DANGER can be especially good for inner development. By holding to fixed and virtuous ethics, by maintaining your inner vision and ideals, all things fall into a steady, tangible perspective. You will know your relationships to your environment, and in this way you can accomplish your aims. Although subjective, this perspective is now in accord with the problems facing you.” ~The I Ching Workbook, R.L Wing
