37. Being With Someone Resistant

Dear Guides,

What is the best way to handle being with someone who is in a bad mood or who doesn’t like us or who is angry with us?

Excerpt from Minda’s channeling on 5.31.2010:

Dear ones,

This is a difficult situation you describe, one which challenges your very ability to stay centered in your world. You are always longing for love and acceptance, the reflection of the environment you recall from the realms of soul from whence you came. And feeling alone and unsure of so many pieces of your lives on Earth, you are already so vulnerable to the difficulties.

When this is compounded by being in the presence of negative vibrations it can feel like you are in the wrong experiment, one that is counter-productive and altogether missing the point.

You may wish you could get out of this situation as soon as possible, flee to better conditions and try to re-establish your feelings of belonging and inner stability. And perhaps you can do just that.

But when you find yourselves in these positions . . . and it seems to you that you cannot just separate yourself from the situation, or it doesn’t feel right to do so, then this is a moment when you can work on your inner attitude.

Here you can cultivate your inner garden, your inner beauty, regardless of what is going on around you.

. . .

For whatever their reasons to sojourn in that less-than-positive energy, it is not beneficial to you to have it creep into your space. It is theirs to choose, live with, learn to transform, and release. You have your own challenges, but dealing with or fixing their energy is not one of them.

You cannot change them, and it is not a constructive use of your intention to do so. However, you can be very clear with yourself that this belongs to them, and not to you.

. . .

In fact, there will come a day when your garden will shine in its own beauty regardless of those around you – whether they are negative or positive towards you. You will feel more and more the close support within you and know that the inner well never dries up. That is the greatest truth of all.
