This post is about how to deal with haters. I think that for the majority of lightworkers, those pesky haters pop up in your life for the simple reason that you attract too much light, and that bugs them. It sends the healers into a spiral of trying to fix it. We feel too much, forget our tools, and take it personally. We can lose our space, forget our protections, and boundaries, or, over protect ourselves, and lose our neutrality.
Hahahaaahaaha. At some point, you remember, to stay neutral, to use your grounding, and stay in your body, and breathe. You can see (not just clairvoyantly) that that person is in some amount of pain, even if it is stuffed way down. Cynicism, sarcasm, jealous comments wrapped in sweet niceties, ooh, some look so tempting, that you want to take the bait. And then you get whacked.
You can also look at what pictures in your energy field are flashing, like the "kick me" picture sitting in your aura, or the guilt pictures, or the victim pictures. "Every time I come to these family holiday parties, I get attacked. He/she hates me, they are out to get me". Woohoo!
Holidays can be a time when the haters come out in droves, sometimes more than the regular day to day ones, because you are "supposed" to be happy, and full of Joy, peace, and togetherness. For some people, it is not the case, and ugliness ensues.
I saw it happening on Thanksgiving. So many people called for readings, or energy checks, because they got whacked by family, or friends, or even shoppers! LOL! You can see it happening on social media as well, with the current political events getting everyone at the edge of their seat, and there is a lot of blame and victim going on. Not too much listening.
I saw a video today on Facebook (musician Prince Ea). He was talking about this same issue, but reminding us to have compassion. Somewhere, deep down, those haters are hurting.
You have been there too. You have been a hater. Do you remember what that felt like?
It didn't feel so good at all. And you (we) lashed out. In pain, and contraction. Stuck in our pictures, we didn't have too many choices. Not very neutral. Not very fun. Some people spend their lives in that place, and it is their normal. And here you come with all your light.
Hmmmmm......
I wanted to write something for the holidays, and I am prompted to give a hello about getting stuck with the nasty energy of haters, and what to do.
Excuse yourself, go to the bathroom, and ground yourself, find your space, love yourself, try to find compassion for them, de-charge some of the mentally, or emotionally charged pictures, however you can (I don't know, besides blowing roses, you can shred all the toilet paper in the guest bathroom you find yourself in, flush the guest soaps down the toilet, (hehe), just sit, and find your space, find some neutrality, find some amusement, love yourself some more, take a deep breath, and go back out there for some more holiday fun! There are times to challenge the energy, and times to laugh at it. Sometimes you can't solve it, argue about it, or change the hater, you just need to change yourself. Find a little amusement about it. (What would they look like with a kitty costume on? Wax lips?). Find your space, let it be what it is for a while. Then find some compassion. And while you are there, spread some on yourself. You DO remember when you hated on someone, eh? It doesn't feel very good, does it? We can certainly set limits as to toxic people in our lives, but sometimes, we just can't.
Become love.
Become compassion.
I wish you all a wonderful, special, holiday season. This Winter Solstice is a time to go deep inside, and give up outdated things to the night, as we welcome the birth of the sun, and rejoice, and gather with kindred folk, and plant the seeds of what we wish to create in the coming year. You will not see those things manifest for a long, long while, but your faith, and hard work, and determination, and inspired action, and some time, WILL get you there. Happy Solstice, Merry Christmas, Happy Hanukah, Happy Kwaanza! Let your life be one of gratitude, and wear your cloak of compassion, with your protections. It can be cold out there.
Ye are the light of the world. A city that is set on an hill cannot be hid. Neither do men light a candle, and put it under a bushel, but on a candlestick; and it giveth light unto all that are in the house. Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your father (God/Goddess/all that is), which is in heaven.
