Why am I feeling these emotions?

These emotions are showing me something. They are cleaning me — guiding me to a higher state of being, guiding me to a higher plateau.

What are they trying to tell me?

They are telling me that I am believing that I can be unsafe, that I can be harmed, that someone’s words and actions can affect me in some way.

What belief are they pointing at? What fear are they trying to convey?

They are conveying a fear of being disrespected, of being treated badly, of being harmed and unsafe. They are conveying a fear of not being supported, that I cannot stand up for myself, that someone can be inferior to me, and that I will not be able to protect the ones I love from this.

What is my reactive response to this? How am I reacting?

My reactive response it to shut off, to seek out distance and further separation in order to feel safe.

I react by taking a stance against the other beings, by making a commitment to myself about protecting myself from their presence in my life and my future.

What am I believing to be true to feel this way?

To feel this way I must believe that I am separate from other beings. I must believe that I can be lowered by someone else. To feel this way I must believe that I can be harmed and violated by someone else. To feel this way I must believe that I am a separate personality/person who is an experiencer of a universe existing outside of my consiousness.

How would I like to respond to this situation? How would I like to feel?

I would like to feel powerful and awake. I would like to feel untouchable. I would like to not give a fuck. I would like to be free and wise in my response. I would like to be clear and to express and emit clarity and confindence. I would like to feel focused on what matters to me. I would like to feel empowered by this experience. I would like to feel strong. I would like to feel joyful and carefree. I would like to feel loving. I would like to focus my energy on happyness, expansion and unity.

What do I truly believe?

In truth I believe that I am powerful, infinite potential. That I am beyond the personality. That every challenge is a teacher. That I am infinite love. That I can embrace all beings. That I am clear and pristine in my vibration. That I am perfectly intuitive and capable of responding with higher intelligence in any situation. That noone is a victim and noone is a perpetrator. That we are one. The all of existense is made of love and light, and that every experience serves a beautiful purpose.

What is the highest response possible for me?

The highest response is to be transparent. To express my desire for transparency clearly. To catch myself if I define this situation as negative and turn it around instantly — see the offering in this, the potential for growth and love. To take responsibility for my partaking in the situation as it has unfolded and choose consiously how I would like to respond now. To choose peace and openness and love. To shine light on the relationship energetically. To send love from my heart, visualise the connection of our hearts. To send happy thoughts, to believe in the potential for growth and love in the relationship. To use the tools I have to communicate clearly and lovingly how I am experiencing the relation and what I desire and invite to this, with clarity, confidence and kindness.

What do I choose to see in the other beings involved?

I choose to see light and potential. I choose to see beings that are moving and changing constantly. I choose to see myself in each of these beings. I choose to see their highest potential. I choose to see their hearts. I choose to see their higher selves. I choose to see their connection to source.

What do I choose to believe is possible in this moment?

I believe anything imaginable is possible. I believe mutual, unconditional love is possible. I believe clean, fresh, spontaneous connection is possible. I believe growth is possible. I believe transformation is possible. I believe inspiration and magic is possible. I believe in oneness and awareness and awakeness.
