Fear is toxic and very fast spreading virus of the mind in our recovery. As we get deeper and deeper on into our recovery, we will become more sensitive to other people and their state of being. As we come to recognise the condition of their child within.Our job is to stay aware of our being and notice when we have taken on the thoughts and emotions of others.
Have you ever noticed that you could be having a perfectly fine day and then you spend time with someone whom you love and care for, who may be in a negative and fearful place, and after you're done hanging out with them, YOU feel negative and fearful?
That's what we call catching their fear bug. We have let the energy and thoughts of another become our own. And doesn't it almost feel unfair, because they didn't even ask? They just seemed to dump all over you.
But we see, as we become more aware of our child within, as we step into our own power, this will not change the negativity of the world or of others. In fact, we will become vastly more aware of other people's fear and negativity. But do not fret.
our job is to become strong enough to see and experience the fear and negativity of others hidden children and, instead of resisting it and calling it "evil" or "dark", to understand it is simply a deep yearning for approval and acceptance. When we understand and know that another's fearful and negative state of being is nothing more than a call for compassion we no longer have to assume their fear or let it affect us. We can simply understand what they are really looking for and send Loving kindness instead of fear back to them.
When we understand that the fear and negativity in others is a call for Loving kindness, we inoculate ourselves against the fear bug. We have an anti-fear that, through our awareness, transforms fear into compassion within us. This way, we can purge our bodies of the fear of others damaged children within and actually respond from a place that not only helps to elevate and heal them, but also elevates and heals us in the process.
So inoculate yourself from fear today by understanding the negativity and fear of others is simply a call for compassion and decide that we are going to be the person to answer that call today.
