I look at things purely as emotions and thoughts. When someone else is angry or in a negative emotion, your own matching emotions and thoughts that exist within are attracted out and you can feel them.
So all you have to be concerned with is letting go of all of your own negative emotions. The more you do this the more you will stay clear.
With practice, no matter how angry people are to you, you will be able to at the instant your own emotion arises, dismiss it and remain in your current state.
Very difficult to develop when you only try to deal with big emotions. But if you practice on smaller situations aswell you will gain a better understanding of the technique.
Either way you have a situation which you can learn a lot about yourself from.
Much strength to you |
Thank you Jarrod, I really like your response. I don't like to refer to emotions as positive and negative either, however I find it helpful in terms of identifying them. I think I'll actually start a new post on that!!
Anyway, I like the way you deal with it.. it makes sense.. I guess I just haven't reached that point where I have gotten enough practice to be able to dismiss it (I used to think that's what I was doing, but infact I was just supressing them)
Anyway I have been able to do this with people I don't know very well -- its much simplier so I suppose I have to continue to practice with them for me to move on to bigger things like my father.
Thank you again.
