A subscriber to my blog recently asked me the following, 

“How do I deal with negativity exhibited by people I love?”

This is a great question and one that many of you can probably relate to. Dealing with negativity from others can be extremely difficult, even more so when it involves a family member.

The answer is presence, compassion, and love.

Often, people are negative because they are in psychological and/or emotional pain. Trying to persuade or coax them out of their negative state can sometimes create more negativity.

I recommend the following…

Take a second to become present.

In becoming present, your ego is taken out of the equation. This will make it easier for you to see their negativity objectively. It will also assist you in not being offended or at risk of taking personally what they are saying. If you find your ego wanting to engage, simply focus on your breathing and rejoin the present.

They may not realize you are...

When we are present, we engage the soul and experience the divine.

This short, guided meditation is based upon a dream I had recently.

I awoke in the middle of the night, feeling at one with my higher self and in a state of deep presence. I pulled a notepad and pen from my bedside table and quickly jotted down a few notes from the dream as I did not want to forget it.

Throughout the day, when I would recall the dream, it would be accompanied by this strong sense of presence and connection to my higher self.

I have attempted to convert the images and experiences I felt that night into a guided meditation with the hope that it might assist others in connecting to their higher self, or at the very least provide you six and a half minutes of peace and relaxation.

I hope it benefits you.

Namaste,
