drpositive Posted March 29, 2011 Share Posted March 29, 2011 STRESS SOURCES: People influence us with their thoughts. A person’s thoughts, if directed towards us, will influence us. This is also true of the collective thoughts of a group. Not a word needs to be spoken Positive Influence. If we have a positive thought for someone, it can uplift that person either at a conscious or an unconscious level. • If a person we know is going through a difficulty, we can send them a positive feeling • Many religious organizations are aware of this phenomenon. That is why they pray for each other in times of need • If a group leader is confronting a challenging situation on our behalf, our supportive thoughts will give them strength when physical support is inappropriate If we ever feel positive, loving thoughts for the people around us, we can send it to them. This increases the love in the world. If we become aware of the positive thoughts of others coming our way, we can allow those thoughts to support us. The feeling of support can fill our body. Then, if we wish, we can send the positive thought back to the person or people in turn supporting them. Negative Influence. Most negative thoughts that people send to each other are the result of: 1. Someone feeling they have been wronged. 2. Someone not doing something that another wants them to do. 3. Someone perceiving others standing in their way. 4. Someone being angry with another. Someone’s negative thoughts can: • Be felt consciously • Make us feel not so good without an apparent reason Handling the Negative Thoughts of Others. If our intuition perceives that someone or a group is sending us negative thoughts, we can ask our intuition, “Who is involved?” Once we have a fair idea of who or what is the source of the negativity we are experiencing, we can ask: 1.“Is this benign?” Benign thoughts might be when the person or group is upset with us but it is only temporary. They do not know what they are doing and there is no malicious intent. If this is the case, we can just deflect the negative thought into an imaginary rubbish bin and leave it there, and do this each time the negative thought is felt. Depending on the circumstances, we may decide to talk to the person or group to see if a resolution can be found. This type of communication should be general. They may be quite unaware of what they are doing and its influence.. Alternatively we can just simply send them positive thoughts. Examples of benign thoughts: • Your child wants to go out to 12 midnight which you disagree with. He/she sends you a negative angry thought. This can be felt like an angry whack of energy. • You take a parking spot someone thinks is theirs, all of a sudden you start feeling angry for no reason, the person involved has sent you their angry feeling Can you think of another example? Occasionally, we can perceive a more malicious intention. With conscious awareness, someone or a group of people is attempting to negatively influence our lives. We have some options: • We can send it into our mental rubbish bin and return positive thoughts to them. • If the negative influence persists, we can consciously deflect the negative thoughts back to the sender with our own thoughts e.g. “I send this negative thought back to you”. This is done by consciously returning the negative thought back to them once it’s felt. As we feel the negative thought hitting us imagine it bouncing back like a trampoline back to where it came from. Depending on the situation, we can return the negative thought with more energy by imagining we are tightening the springs on the trampoline. This should only be done as a last resort. It is always better to send incoming negative thoughts into a rubbish bin and return positive thoughts. We should only send positive thoughts to others and always wish people well. If we react negatively to a person’s negative thoughts, we can eliminate this. Once our normal, calm, happy self returns, we will stop taking it so seriously. We need to realize that on occasions, people send each other negative thoughts. It is part of life.
