Today we are joined by majestic Eagle and contrary Raccoon, who send the message that you have given away your Personal Power somewhere along the way. This is likely through allowing yourself to adopt a Victim Mentality where you feel as though you are being singled out or picked on by others or even by the Universe itself. Eagle tells us that wallowing around in self-pity will only send signals to the Universe to send you more misfortune and bad luck because this is what you are spending your mental and emotional energy on. Raccoon says that they way to right this unblalanced medicine is through generosity of spirit. Spend some time decluttering your house and donate those items you don't need to a worthy cause or spend some time volunteering for an organization you believe in. This will allow you to replace your negative emotions and attitudes with gratitude.
Another message of contrary Raccoon is that you may have been so generous that others have been taking advantage of you. Do you find yourself surrounded by friends who only turn up when they need something from you? Do you dread hearing the phone ring because you fear it will be another person asking for your help? Or do you feel drained, run down or lacking in energy all the time, especially after you have been around certain people? These are all signs that you have been in the presence of users, takers or energy vampires. Eagle says the way to remedy this situation is to take back your Personal Power and begin to set firm boundaries with others. This may mean making a rule that, with certain people, it doesn't matter what they need - the answer is no. It could also mean establishing a barter system where you ask others to do some small favor for you in return for helping them. This helps maintain a balanced energy flow and helps replenish the energy you spend helping others.
Raccoon says it may also be time to cut any negative etheric cords which may be tied to you for the purpose of trying to control you or siphon off your energy. There are several methods for clearing these energetic cords, the easiest of which is to ask Archangel Michael and his Healing Band of Mercy to come and cut any negative etheric cords which may be tied between you and any other person, living or dead, in all directions of time. Once these cords have been removed, you will begin to notice that you have more energy and vitality. Eagle gives the advice that, if you find you are often a target for "energy vampires," you must learn to practice shielding techniques such as envisioning yourself surrounded with mirrors which return negative energy to its source, pink light which only allows in loving energy from others, angel wings, armor or some other image that is intended to block negative flows of energy.

If Raccoon has appeared in the reverse position, you may be robbing yourself of much needed strength at this time. Do you need an attitude adjustment? If you are wasting energy on self-pity, feeling like an underdog, then do something nice for someone else. The change of focus could create more self-esteem. Observing the authentic needs in another's situation absolves self-pity.
Another contrary message is denying the need to be generous or compassionate with yourself. In this case, you may not be providing enough workable options to solve your present challenges.
If you are feeling drained, it may be time to receive the gratitude of those you have helped in the past. If you have been giving too much and have forgotten to honor your own needs, Raccoon could be telling you to steal some time alone. The little bandit also reminds you to keep watch for "takers" who never give back. Keep yourself from feeding others who are too needy or too greedy. Balanced Raccoon medicine does not waste its generosity on those who refuse to help themselves or are too lazy to contribute to learn self-reliance.
