Guest guest Posted June 4, 2004 Report Share Posted June 4, 2004 Sat Nam! I have followed this thread with interest. It is very interesting to note different ideas on how to deal...I especially loved Ruth's interpretation and advice. Yes, to hold out a mirror to someone that is obviously in so much pain that your presence in the now makes them uncomfortable...seems a bit harsh. We as yogis know that compassion in the heart center is developed by cultivating virtuous practices. As Compassion develops, the suffering of others becomes clear and a desire that no other being suffer is at the core of our heart center. In this way we can open our hearts and begin living from a space of compassionate oneness. If Shakti has risen or Kundalini Energy is stirring we have an even greater responsibility to open our hearts and stay in present moment awareness for ourselves and others (no difference) as we integrate this awakening. Yes, we will bounce back and forth for a while, part of the process when we try to awaken the sleeping serpent gently. If you experience a sudden complete awakening then the mind has stopped, you are in the now and you most likely are not affected by others anger...if you are still integrating, bouncing back and forth...I believe Ruth's advice is timely. I would also like to add my recommendation to Ruth's of The Power of Now by Tolle. Excellent reading. To avoid getting stuck in any one energy spot Pieter has sent several times parts 2.3 and 6 of the Morning Set to help restore balance. It is a wonderful practice to help clear blocks and imbalances. I also LOVE Dharam's sending the celery juice fast information to come back to balance. Acid vs. Alkaline (when we get stuck) I would like to add something we all know but as a reminder please use organic celery as celery is one of the top vegetables on the pesticide no no list! All Love and Light in the Divine! Rebecca Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted June 7, 2004 Report Share Posted June 7, 2004 Hi It is nice to hear from you again Rebecca. It seems that I used a bad choice of words "holding out the mirror" in a previous response to this thread. I meant it to mean the same thing as turning the other cheek. I'm all for having compassion with people who are hurting. All the best Chela Shanti Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted June 9, 2004 Report Share Posted June 9, 2004 Sat nam, I am noticing a lot of negativity these days. What has changed is my awareness and not wanting to listen to it from others and not wanting to participate myself. Running in place with punching every day, as mentioned, is great. Also getting a punching bag is a fabulous therapy. Also do navel exercises and then take action for yourself. Our own anger is often created by feeling like a victim. When we take action, we get ourselves out of this senario. Sat Nam, Gururattan Kaur Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
