Negativity

[SmileySpirit14]

ya gotta gotta gotta gotta BELIEVE! just tell yourself otherwise and DENY DENY DENY any negativity put in your head...my brother said, 'telekenesis isnt re...' (and i said) 'YES IT IS!!! SHUT YOUR MOUTH!!! I WILL SLAP YOU, BOY!!! YOU DONT KNOW SH*T STUPID!!! DONT YOU WEAKEN ME, B**CH!!!

learn to shield yourself from it.  imagine/visualize a semi- barrier around you that keeps out what you don't need.

Change the topic, at least in your head, to something your more interested in, something nicer than the negativity.  You can still be talking, "yes, Uh-huh, that's a possibility."  If just being around them bothers you, and you don't have the choice of leaving, find a good prayer and say it silently to yourself.

Today I am grateful that I am One with All.

Good luck.

Thanks for the replies.

I'm not a naturally negative person. I tend to think positive thoughts. But I've been in contact with people who act and think in a negative way, and I wasn't able to get away from it. I began to feel very tired and worn out. I think that the negative atmosphere must have been feeding or draining my energy, causing me to feel un-naturally tired and worn-out. I will try and create a shield around me. That leads me to my next question - what colour should the shield be? what is an energizing colour? As I need to get my energy levels back up - fast! I heard that certain colours can be energizing.

As for prayers, I don't really know any.

Every where you go there will be people that will try to put down others for the benefit of themselves.  But I am  Very well trained in chi energies, and that taught me to sense and feel energies from other people.  Negative people who usually put you down, and are generally not nice people who a kinda psi'ish vamp energy.  They steal it from you, and that is why you are put down, quiet, angry, sad and excrement.  Once i learned to feel energy(feeling, emotions) from others, I can prevent any stolen energy from happening.  heh I usually steal theres cause im a loud happy person(and give energy naturally, thats why people like being around me)

I can relate to being put down. Especially when I was a kid, my aunty, uncle and mum used to put me down a lot. But I never felt a lack of energy because my gran (in particular) and my grandad would do the opposite. They used to sing my praises to anyone who would listen. They went out of their way to make me feel better about things and make me feel good about myself.

As I got older, my uncle began to show more respect towards me (but still put me down sometimes). My gran died, and so did my uncle. When that happened, mum showed more respect towards me, even though she would "get her moments" sometimes. She respects me a lot more now, but she thinks in a very negative way. I can sense that negativity. My aunty is even more hostile towards me. So now, I feel like an old woman with hardly any energy left. My mum rarely treats me badly now, but that negative attitude that she carries around, I think, is rubbing off on me, or is feeding off my energy. I know nothing about preventing that from happening. I've asked mum to get rid of the negative attitude, but it's hard for her because so many bad things have happened to her. As for my aunty, there's no way she will change her ways towards me. My grandad has become more negative in some ways and crititises me sometimes.

I was thinking of constructing a blue (energized) and green (healing) mirrored (reflect any negative energy back to where-ever or whoever it came from) shield around me. Would that work or am I going wrong somewhere?

You may be too interested in getting your energy fields back up "fast".  If you have not been able to do it by now, you may not be able to.  There are such things as initiations.  You may need to change your approach.

Don't try to counteract everything with a positive thought.  That's exhausting.  Cultivate the state of mind you experience when you are engaging in a relaxing hobby--stamp collecting, knitting, grooming your favorite dog.

Here's a protective prayer:

With your feet I walk
I walk with your limbs
I carry forth your body
For me your mind thinks
Your voice speaks for me
Beauty is before me
And Beauty is behind me
Above and below me hovers the beautiful
I am surrounded by it
I am immersed in it
In my youth I am aware of it
And in old age I shall walk quietly
the beautiful trail.
 --Navajo prayer

Thanks for telling me the prayer. Well, I will try and slowly but steadily get my energy levels back up. I do feel exhaused all the time - mentally and emotionally - which also affects me physically. It's very hard to carry on as normally when you're that tired. [B)]

Here is a very simply to use protection from a lady called June Cleeland in Australia. I have found it and others like say 'The Tower of light' exercise... really benificial over the years. See: http://www.junecleeland.com/docs/protect.html

Hope you enjoy it.

Here is the basic text: -
 
A Prayer
In the name of Christ,
I ask for my Guides to come close to me.
I ask that a capsule of light be cast around me
to seal and protect me from any energies, entities or
influences that may be detrimental to me.
Fill my aura with the light and love of God,
And help to bring me closer to perfection each day.
Amen.


Of course, feel free to use your own prayer, but be aware of one the elements of the prayer above. "In the name of Christ" is an essential part of the prayer because it immediately attracts the positivity of Christ towards you. If you are more comfortable with the word Buddha, or Krishna for example, use that. The important part is calling on your perception of purity and divinity.

In the prayer above, posted by EOL007, be careful not to do any visualization, like the capsule thing; just say it.  The visualization would be more draining.

Criosta an Ri.

Thanks. I will write the prayer down so I will remember it. I'm a Christian so I'll use the word "Christ". []

if prayers are what helps you to protect you from something helpless, then let that be it but, it seems as if you guys never even read my post.  See you are stronger than anything around here, and instead of using prayers and such, try going to the source  Learn where it comes from, and how it works to make sure it WONT come to you, no prayers, no bubble shields haha.  Just yourself.

[G3MM4]

I can assure you that I read your post. It seems that you don't quite understand. I am not a negative person.

You said to change myself inside so that I'm not negative. How can I do that if I'm not negative in the first place? I'm a naturally positive person, with a positive outlook on life. I like to be optimistic. What the problem is - some of the other people around me, they are the ones who are negative. It's the negative energy from them that makes me feel exhausted. It's wearing me down, so I'm looking for ways to protect myself from that negative energy. (BTW, I do a lot of self - reflection, and I'm trying to learn how to meditate.)

I happen to believe that shielding myself from negativity, along with my faith, will protect me.

quote:no prayers, no bubble shields haha

And what's wrong with a couple of prayers? Can you tell me why shielding myself with a couple of prayers and a protective bubble will not help? I'll be interested to hear your opinion.

G3MM4,
 
    I am exactly like you! see, I have a particular friend, for example when he steps in the room, everyone feels reel down.  This is how i learned this, I learned how to distringuish other peoples feelings from my own, and that manifested eventually into learning about how these negative people (and I never did say you were a negative person did I?), Steal your energy and you feel like crap.  But there is nothing wrong with prayers, But the bubble shields and stuff, thats just a easier way  of doing what I do against negative people.  just another perspective view.  I just talk about it in detail.  I can sense them try to put me down, and i can stop it, and others imagine a shield of some sort around them, and prayers, okay!! i realized that kinda the same, but going at it at a different way.  I was tired when i posted that earlier.  

Its the same.

I just look at it differently

[G3MM4]

quote:(and I never did say you were a negative person did I)

No, you didn't, but this:

quote:change yourself inside so that you aren't negative

looked as if you kind of thought that I was negative, or was filled with negativity or something. It doesn't matter now that you explained what you mean. I think what you said came out wrong. It happens.

Well, what works for you might not work for someone else. The same goes for me, what works for me might not work for someone else. You're right, about having different perspectives. I think if I protect myself in the way that I said I would, it could well work better for me as I've got my faith, which should help. []

[G3MM4]

I need to know how to protect myself against other people's negativity? How do I stop other people's negativity from "rubbing off" on me?
