Negativity–someone else’s poop

How do you know you’ve been exposed to negativity? You feel bad. Out and out bad. It can be your own worst thoughts, messages from childhood, other people’s poop, violence on tv, or even someone else’s aggressive behavior.  When I encounter negativity, whether the words were “well-meaning” or not, my head will hurt right in my psychic spot. If I ignore that feeling, the ache will increase. If the room is filled with negativity, my stomach may even hurt. Our bodies are instant barometers of what is good for us and what is bad. I love how simple it can be. For instance, a friend gives you a criticism. If it is a truth, it will resonate. Your body may tense for a moment, but then it will relax a bit in that truth. If it was someone else’s poopy disguised as help, this is how it will feel: BAM! OUCH! YUCK! You may even feel shame, bad, and you will lose energy like you are standing in quicksand. You’ve been just been doused with negativity, regardless of how well-meaning it was, your body knew the truth. Don’t make your self wrong–that feeling you had is right. Run away! Don’t walk to the nearest exit. Create a boundary this minute. Put up that wall.

My Guides taught me that it is perfectly okay to walk away and leave a room. My husband and I were once in a room with a doctor who was supposably helping our daughter. He began to speak pure drivel at one point and was not listening to us, lost in his own world. I remembered the Guides advice and a good friend that told me I can always leave to say I’m going to the bathroom. No one disputes that. I excused myself with that excuse in hand, and never came back! I headed straight to the car (after telling my husband what I was doing). If I stayed one more minute arguing with that man, I would have suffered. He didn’t care, he was oblivious.

It helps to know that many times it IS someone else replaying their own poop, so then you can detach and walk away. To the sensitive, you’ve usually picked up a bit anyway, so walking will help you detach and see what is yours and what isn’t. With the Nature Spirits advice, I made Pumpkin essence, which is great for clearing out others’ stuff after you’ve picked it up. This has been a God-send many times over.

And one more thing, always look for intentions. WHY is someone saying something to you? Is their intention good? To really help? Or is it so they feel superior? Like the “friend” who corrects your spelling when you share your intimate piece of poetry? (Again, that’s someone else’s poop).

Validation

For validation on my “rest” entry, I walked by a conversation in the library and picked up only a few words loud and clear. The woman said, “When you rest, you have a better outlook.” At first I thought she was talking to me. I had to laugh out loud. This was a message I needed to hear. I needed to go be still for awhile to hear guidance. I’ve been too lost in the noise in my head. To reinforce the message, the Universe sent me another one. I opened our side door to find a praying mantis the size of Detroit. I looked up my animal cards and the mantis represents being still! I think when you hit a point where you are spinning your wheels, worrying, upset, angry, it probably means you do need to stop for a moment and take a time-out. I find a few flower essences really help me to stop pushing myself and relax–Desert Willow tree, brings in the feminine energy, Anthurium essence, balances out that excess push/male energy (oh, wow, wouldn’t it be great to give the world that right now???), and Arizona Poppy, to stop my obsessive worrying!

On another note, had a great animal communication reading yesterday. Giving this reading reinforced to me how much our animals are aware of their physical illnesses and even what would help themselves.

Animal cards

I just did an animal card reading and picked two appropriate cards–Dove, which is moving between cycles and worlds and Swan (new dreams and new realms), which confirms that I am in that in-between state, where you are leaving the old, but the new hasn’t arrived yet. I bet most of us are in that boat. It is so tempting to do the old stuff, isn’t it? Harder to just have faith the new will arrive shortly.

Validation

Well, I just checked out the energy alert and almost FLIPPED OUT. Being super connected to the earth energies (and only finally now how much I am!), I had mentioned that my female self was going a little wacky. In Karen’s email alert she talks also of the feminine energy coming in, validating what I’ve heard. I’ve also noticed I am being forced to rest and do nothing, so hard for me because I constantly pushing and pushing. She writes, “It is about being. If we try and make anything happen right now, it can feel like navigating through quicksand.”

I honestly wasn’t a believer in all this woo-woo stuff. I am rather analytical. Prove it me! I always say. Be careful what you ask for. I am becoming so much more open as I change and experience some odd stuff! Go check out Karen’s alert at: http://www.whatsuponplanetearth.com/august26.2007.htm
