Don't
you hate it when you're plodding along in life minding your own
business, then for some reason out of know where a loved one, friend,
coworker or stranger lashes out at you? It kind of flips you for
a loop, and in your mind, you know its an unfair attack, that you did
nothing to prompt it, but you feel all shaky inside, and your heart
beats faster, and this attack really gets under your skin. No
matter what you do to push the incident out of your mind - you can't -
it just lingers there and eats at you. You try to go to sleep
that night, but you can't get your brain to settle down, because it's
still looming over the attack.
What
has happened? Why can't you shake this off? You didn't do
anything wrong, so why do you feel troubled to the core of your being?
Some
call this psychic attack. That person has cast negative energy
towards you, and you are falling under the spell of it to some
degree. This is why you are disturbed so deeply. It's an
awful feeling. So, what can we do about this?
First,
realize the person more than likely lashed out at you, because
something is troubling them. They are out of balance with
something, and they are in need of their peace being restored.
Yes, it was unfair that they lashed at you, and yes, it would have
been better, if they had just come to you and said, "Hey I have a
problem, can you help me solve it?" But there have been
times, when each of us, instead of choosing a civil way to approach a
problem, has lashed out at somebody, simply because something is
bothering us. So, try to remember that.
Before
you even respond to them - let's get YOU back on your
feet first. You're not going to be able to help them, unless you
are balanced. And it may have been a stranger, like a cashier at
the store, that you'll never see again - so you'll never be able to
settle it with them, you'll just have to balance yourself. How
do we do this?
If
you believe in Spirit, or a Higher Power of any sort - this is the
time to call on to them. Pray to them and tell them exactly what
you are feeling. This happened to me recently. I started
my prayer to God and Mother Azna, (see Sylvia
Browne for references to Mother Azna), and within the first
sentence I began - my thoughts were interrupted with the phrase,
"He feels rejected..." - and I realized God was telling me
there, why this friend of mine had lashed out at me. I wasn't
even the one that rejected him, and had no idea what was going on in
his life at the time, as we don't stay in daily contact. As
soon, as I heard that, my initial thought of responding to him
lovingly, despite his anger, was reinforced for love was what he
needed at that moment. He did not need a friend responding to
him in anger.
But
still - I was bothered. I told God and Mother Azna, that was
fine. I was still going to respond with love, but I wanted my
balance, peace, and joy restored, that he took from me. I was
angry with myself, more than anyone, that I had allowed him to get to
me. You know it's the loved ones that can get to you the most,
because you care about them. So, I told God and Mother Azna,
before I responded to him, and heard from him, and got it straight
with him, I wanted all restored to me without him. I knew
God and Mother Azna were my source of abundance, and that I need
nothing outside of them - all that I could ever desire is fulfilled within
because of God and Mother Azna.
Let
me tell you - this worked. Immediately! When I pulled from
the prayer, my calm was back. I was no longer shaky. My
joy was back, I had my dance back in my step, and could sing with the
radio once more. My mind no longer loomed over the attack, and I
could once more focus on my goals. Later on that day I contacted
my friend, who reported to me, he was going through a very rough
period in his life, (no suprise there), but because I approached him
lovingly, he apologized for his lashing. And I was then able to listen
to him, and give him encouragement, and then I came away praying for
him to help him get back on his feet and get his balance and peace
restored.
So
pray to Whomever it is that you do. Ask for them to restore your
balance, peace and joy - right now, within you without the
outside contact first. Then when you're steadied once more, then
lovingly, and I mean lovingly, (this is easy to do, once you're
balanced again), approach the one who sent you the attack, and let
them know you are there for them.
Now,
none of this applies to anyone who constantly emotionally, or
physically abuses you. That person, is an abuser and an
user. They are putting you down to lift themselves up in their
own perspective. You need to get away from that person
ASAP! If you love yourself, which you should, get away!
This article is aimed for those unusual moments that every now and
then flare up, and can seem to flip your world upside down.
Breathe.
My
love to you and God
bless!
