Emotional Stress and Memory

Can Emotional Stress Affect Your Memory?

Especially when the stakes are high, you need to remember the important things. However, people often times have memory problems 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, you are probably overwhelmed by the uncertainty and ungrounded by the sheer amount of information that you feel you have to process. You might be having experiences like the ones below. 

  • Processing difficult news 
  • 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 you can easily get some relief by going through the Emotional Stress that Affects Memory Exercise out of our Soul Oriented Solutions series.

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

SOS - Soul Oriented Solutions for Emotional Stress

Next, go through this short mind exercise to understand how emotional stress might be causing memory lapses in your case and what you can do to help 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. 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 its 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.

 

How Would You Like to Feel?

4. 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.

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

 

What Would You Like to Remember?

5. 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 Eye6. 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?

7. Keep relaxed and gaze softly at the Circle with each affirmation:

“My mind is 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?

8. 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?

9. 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 Help Your Emotional Stress?

10. 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?

11. 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. 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?

12. 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. Put both feet on the floor to help you ground. Take whatever time you need.

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?

13. 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 7 and connect with your other chakras.
Take whatever time you need.  

“What do I need to 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.

14. 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 quite a while.
Plan to take a walk or relax for a bit out in Nature once you feel ready.
Releasing emotional stress takes time and space!

Tree Sloth Medicine

Slow Down and Confirm Your Priorities with Tree Sloth Medicine

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

Sloth Medicine from Gifts from the Rainforest

23. Sloth Medicine – the tree sloth peers out into the jungle with clarity of vision and moves very slowly, if at all. His advice is to watch and wait for clarity before taking action.

Are you trying to do too much at one time?

Are you clear about what your true priorities are?

Is there so much going on that you can’t follow it all?  If so, what will help?

Healing Action: Slow down. Narrow your focus. Be more selective. Make some priorities for yourself. Know what you want before making your move.


The Eye of Truth

The sloth lives quietly in his tree
watching the world around him.
He rarely moves unless he has something
very specific he wants to accomplish.
The birds and monkeys chatter endlessly
and rush about doing their daily business.
But this is not sloth’s way.
To him, all that screeching and squawking
and rushing around
is a distraction to clear thinking.
His motto is:
“Say what you mean and mean what you say.
Know your intention and brighten your day.
One thought at a time will make a soul wise.
When looking for truth, I use my own eyes.”

Further Exploration into Tree Sloth Medicine:

Sloth Medicine

It’s time to slow down and focus your energies on what you want to accomplish. Turn your attention 100% towards a clear intention. This is not the time for multi-tasking. If you have too many things going on, you won’t be able to keep track of what’s really important, and something really important is happening in this situation. Save yourself future regrets and resentments by paying attention now.
You may be in too much of a hurry to properly appreciate some very insightful information that’s coming your way. Slow down.
Choose a situation that seems overly complicated and “all balled up.” Instead of hardening your mind to try and fix or figure things out, consciously soften your thoughts, unfurl your brow and drop your shoulders. Allow the ball you see in your mind to unwind like a ball of string.
If your mind is very stubborn, the image of your situation may stay in a ball for a while. Just keep breathing deeply into your belly while you wait for the string to appear. Eventually, the ball will begin to move around. Continue until you see a straight line in your mind. Then, patiently wait for solutions to appear. Remember that every situation is a product of cause and effect. By slowing down and letting your mind untangle, a way forward can be found.
Or
Your mind keeps jumping ahead and that’s preventing you from finishing your task. Slow down and focus on one thing at a time.
Or
Your communication with others will benefit now by being especially clear and direct. It may be that others are in too much of a hurry to hear you. Get it in writing and insist on their signature. This particular situation strongly affects your well-being. If they are unwilling, it may be time to re-evaluate the relationship.

Befriending Animal Spirits

Messages from the Animal Spirits

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

Animal Spirits from Gifts from the Rainforest1. Animal Spirits – the animals are our partners in creating an abundant and peaceful life.

By observing their behavior and the role they play in their environment, we can learn to adapt and make the most of the circumstances we find ourselves in.

Ask: What do you need to adapt to in your situation? 

What are the animals in your life communicating to you?

Healing Action: It’s time to take ownership over your communications. Adapt to your circumstances. Befriend the animal world and your own animal nature. 


Invoking the Animal Spirits

Long ago in the Garden of Eden
the animals walked with us in peace and cooperation.
We were given healthy dominion over them,
and prosperity was there for all.
Much of the civilized world has forgotten
this ancient partnership, yet the animals still remember.
We can remember too.
Listen.
Watch.
Animal messages are everywhere.
Ask that the animal spirits teach, assist, and guide us
in all aspects of our lives so that we may move forward
into the abundant lives we were created for.

Animal medicine indicates that better communication will improve the situation you are dealing with now. Scattered or disjointed communication, whether written or verbal, comes out of scattered and disjointed thinking. It’s time to simplify and get to the bare truth of the matter.
Or
You may be ignoring subtle forms of communication, such as body language or events that keep repeating themselves. Missed communication is probably holding up the works somewhere. Consider the possibility that your priorities might be out of order.
Examine the following steps to effective communication. If any step is missing in regard to your current circumstance, look at the Circle to help you gain more clarity and get back on track.

1. Form a clear idea.
2. Focus your ability to focus on that idea without distractions.
3. Find the purpose – what you want to accomplish with this idea.
4. Be flexible to expand or refine the idea.
5. Be able to visualize the finished product or result.
6. Prioritize what is important about the idea and its purpose.
7. Make a decision to do it or not.
8. Follow through on the decision.
9. Achieve a satisfactory finished product.
10. Accept the responsibility for the communication.

Successful communication is the essence of being able to manifest your dreams in physical reality. Be aware that people will now listen to you with greater respect and cooperation.
Or
If you are hurting, especially from matters of the heart or even PTSD, working with animals or studying them would hold unusually potent healing.

Parrot Medicine

Deflect Projections and Reflect the Positive with Parrot Medicine

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

Parrot Medicine from Gifts from the Rainforest

18. Parrot Medicine – knows how to handle inflammatory remarks and condemnation. By remaining calm in the face of emotional outbursts, we develop mastery over our minds and our reactions.

Is someone trying to get a reaction out of you?

Are you caught in a maze of projections?

Are you stuck on judgement and criticism? If so, what would help?

Healing Action: Stop taking things personally. Take control of your reactions. Get out of the way. Deflect interference from others by proactively rejecting their projections.


Parrot Wisdom

The wise parrot teaches us the best way to handle
inflammatory remarks and condemnation.
She simply looks us in the eye
and repeats back what we say word for word,
without emotion, judgement or attack.
When you find yourself in a situation
filled with vengeance, fear or victimization,
do not engage it, otherwise you will fuel it.
Remain objective and mirror back what is said
with compassion, truth and justice.
As humans, we are manipulated
and give away our power through our emotions.
Remain calm and learn from Parrot
by reflecting only the goodness and beauty
of your surroundings.

Parrot Medicine - Animal Totems
Parrot Medicine

You are taking what someone has said or done personally. Have you considered the possibility that your reaction was all they really wanted in the first place? What would happen if you didn’t respond the way they are expecting you to? What if you smiled or laughed or did nothing at all? You might be surprised at how fast they disappear or change their tune.
Or
Are you caught in an endless nightmare or repeating arguments? Instead of being paranoid or reactive, try being more proactive. Use Parrot’s Circle to imagine that the situation is like being in a maze or house of mirrors. Ask if there are particular emotions or conflicts that your mind is wrestling with. Once you have the mental construct or trap, release your agreement to perpetuate it. Then, consciously shatter the mirrors and deconstruct the trap. Clear it all away till there’s nothing left of it.
Or
You are allowing yourself to be victimized by someone else’s critical mind. Try going through these steps:

  1. Ask your heart, “What is this person showing me about myself that I don’t like?”
  2. If you feel you’re being criticized, ask, “What is really going on?”
  3. Notice that what you’re making up about about this interaction is probably worse than what is actually happening.
  4. Ask the Circle for advice about how to best de-escalate the situation.

Close the door on interference, judgement and criticism. Shatter the projections and use your new perspective to make necessary changes in your plans so that you’re effectively protected.

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.

Changes in Your Environment – Feng Shui Tips

Feng Shui Tips for Handling Recent Changes in Your Environment:

Rheanni Lightwater
Rheanni Lightwater

When going through a radical change, it’s a great help to clean out certain areas of our homes and keep an eye on how well the energy is moving. While we’re rearranging things, we can reorganize our intentions to adapt to the changes in our environment and circumstances. When we take the time to do that, we’re allowing a physical and psychological space to open up for new things to come in and help us adjust both inwardly and outwardly.

Changes in Your Environment - Crystal CleansingFor example, I have a lot of crystals and a prayer pipe that I consider sacred. Early on in my Feng Shui practice, I got a strong message that I need to regularly clear out my pipe, cleanse those crystals and rearrange other significant objects to accommodate the changes in the I Ching flow. Why is that so important?

— Because crystals, prayer containers and other significant personal objects can hold onto a great deal of energy and old intentions.

In order to keep my mind and energy flexible, I don’t want to be held back by the gravity of those old energies, including those that marked the end of the Piscean Age. Since the Winter Equinox of 2022, the nature of chi’ or life force flowing through the Tao has changed to an Air based flow (Aquarius) rather than the previous Water based flow.

Let this symbol help you make the adjustment needed.

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

Divine Protection for Difficult Beginnings
Divine Protection in the New Paradigm

“I allow my mind and body to acclimate to this lighter, quicker life force.”
“I learn to receive generative life force and use it to communicate with  my environment.”

 

 

Also, I don’t want to be blocked by old intentions and outdated agreements that aren’t relevant anymore. They only perpetuate inner conflict or confusion, especially now that we’re obviously in a very different space!

For example, when the pandemic started, I got the strong guidance to “change with the changes and still stay grounded.” In the early summer of 2020, my inner guidance was to “bring light and balanced prosperity into my mindset and environment.” at the Winter Solstice I was guided to pray for “safe transition into the New Paradigm”. Now my intention is “I am firmly grounded in the New Paradigm and have Divine Protection.” These are pretty big changes, and I’m sure there will be many more to come!

Big changes in your environment can be supported with the help of Reiki, strong intention and clear crystals.

To cleanse crystals, I gather them up from around my house and property and then place them in a bowl of water mixed with sea salt. Around the full moon, I’m guided to set them outside for a day or two to cleanse. That way, they will get really clear through an infusion of both Sun and Moon light. Then, I set a new strong and focused intention with those crystals, based on what is needed now.

Notice that I didn’t say, “please keep the coronavirus away,” or “please be sure that civil war doesn’t break out.” If I were to set intentions based on things I don’t want to happen, my whole mindset would start to unconsciously fixate on all the uncertainty and fear that these things attract. To make things even worse, the energy in my environment should start to organize around the fixation. That’s exactly opposite of what I want!

I also don’t want to make intentions frivolously or ask for so many new things that I unwittingly create chaos, conflict and confusion.

So, when I set intentions in turbulent times, I calm myself down first. Once the shock is abated and my mind is clear of anxiety, I ask for a life affirming experience that’s general enough to allow positive change to occur and that makes sense under my current circumstances. That part is especially important since we know the changes we’re going through are liable to continue for some time. Then, I set up the energy in my living space to organize around the new intention by mindfully placing the crystals and/or sacred objects as I’m guided.

Once I’ve set my intention in the space, I pay attention to what I start to attract.  If I start attracting chaos, conflict or confusion, I know that I need to reassess my intention and reorganize it.

I don’t waste my time beating myself up for having made a mistake or not doing it “perfectly”. After all, this is a whole new energy we’re in. We’re at the very beginning of one Age, while the other has departed entirely! It’s going to take a while for our minds to adjust. Mistakes are going to happen. Just get back up, clear your mind and be willing to let go of your assumptions about how you thought things were going to be.

If you’re interested in this process of reassessing and reorganizing your intention, You might be interested in an extra intuitive exercise I’ve put together.
