We have been deeply trained to monitor ourselves for our transgressions; watch for our breaking rules, etc.

At a certain incident, we may notice ourselves flooded with uncomfortable feelings of fear, loathing, anger and more.

To recover, let’s train ourselves to accept the thoughts and feelings that have arisen. In making it ok, let’s rest in presence and as we can turn to our perception of the abundant Good. We take on the frame of a human growing in unconditional love.

Tuning into that core of unconditional Love, we acknowledge our own Good and perceive more readily the Good in others.

The Fear Reaction

Gaynor was following one teacher on line and enjoying the inspiration and growth the woman sparked inside her. G listened to one podcast recently, and inside she felt her emotional reaction. She felt some fear.

Gay understood and resonated with the speaker’s core message: encouraging the listeners to do inner work, reaching past hurts and acculturations, aligning more and more with pure love. In the most recent speech, this leader appeared to recommend very specific actions from her followers with a warning of dire consequences if the advise was not acted upon.

Gaynor felt a withdrawing and tightness. G thought, “The leader is perceiving danger for us and recommending specific actions that are arduous for me. I want to use my energy in other ways.!” Then, this star pulled back from the speaker.

Earlier the leader had crafted messages wanting each “student” to think for his or herself and screen recommended actions with their discerning internal intuition.

Our heroine felt confused, uncomfortable, threatened.

What Next?

What did our heroine do? First of all, Gay made it ok to feel those uncomfortable feelings which lasted more than a day.

The protagonist distracted herself intentionally shifting focus to a walk in the woods, interesting novel, delicious meals and more. Additionally, this Star employed other mood lifters: listing supportive friends, and reviewing her own treasured qualities expressed for this world.

As she did this, the dear woman felt better and happier.

And after several days Gaynor listened to that particular lecture again, assimilated what she could use and discarded the rest. She breathed in her power and felt strong.

Resolution

Experiencing this passage, Gay dropped her fear and gained confidence. grew stronger. She updated her thoughts where she had  felt threatened and judged herself: those reactions were not “who she really is.”

Instead of believing the fear message, the Star tuned to the Abundant Good, and in that, accepting herself on her human journey. In this it is easier to accept others wherever they may be on their life path.
