When I started my spiritual rediscovery journey I started with forgiveness work and this person was included in that. I also had to forgive myself and release thoughts and feelings from the past that I had outgrown and no longer served me or the highest good, that's to say, it wasn't coming from a place of love. We should strive in all situations to come from a place of love and seek the highest and best outcome for all involved. This doesn't mean your sacrifice or compromise your own power, but when you do the spiritual work you see that the ability to even look at a situation in that light is living from your power, not compromising it.
So I let go of old beliefs and thoughts about this person, replaced them with compassion and love. Sometimes I would still find myself thinking the outdated thoughts and I would gently release those and remind myself I'm not living from that old place anymore. I also found myself surrounded by conversations that I no longer wanted to be a part of. We are all on a learning curve, at first I would still participate in the conversations about the person and feel so depleted and ashamed later. It was through that experience that I started to hold the person in a higher place in my mind, I surrounded them with God's love and asked/intended their highest good to come to them. This opened doors!
So the next time the conversations came up, I held the people in the conversation in compassion for their way of being and prayed to clear the negative thoughts and words going on. I remained silent and did not participate in the conversations. Over a short period of time I developed so much love and compassion for the person and also for those who were having the conversations. I eventually came to a place that when the conversation started I said, I don't choose to see or believe that and I think good things can come from the situation, or, I don't have that experience with that person anymore.
If I'm being honest, that was met with a little shock and maybe a touch of anger. Again, I held those people in conversation in love and compassion as well. Sometimes it just takes one person, you, to heal a world of hurt in family dynamics. But it starts with your own healing, self discovery and spiritual journey. I think the negative conversations and gossip will stop in time with continued prayer and holding everyone in thought for their highest and best intention in God's plan and love. So when you do your work, it's not just for you, it effects and expands to benefit those around you as well in such positive and inspiring ways.
So after having a great day with this person and having real conversation with them I can say I am so happy we have come to this place. I was able to listen and really hear without judgement or opinions, and I was able to really be a friend. We also talked about our spiritual journeys and life journeys and how to take where we are and align to the higher purpose. Let's just say I was open enough from doing my spiritual work that I was able to allow Spirit to use me and live through me to reignite the spiritual flame in them. I was able to help them catch a glimpse of God's highest and best plan for them to work towards.
I can already feel great change taking place in their life. When God moves through you and starts to open windows and doors in your mind, heart and soul that were closed, you can't help but change. I hope to be able to be a continued help and inspiration to them if God will allow and the person will be open, which I think they will. I'm so excited for this person and the kick start they received from our day and reading together. Great things will happen when you do your work and leave yourself open for God to work through you. I hope you see great things start to happen and ignite in you. Love and Blessings!
