In The Four Agreements (Agreement 2), Don Miguel Ruiz speaks of becoming immune to the opinions and actions of others.
During my meditation this morning, I reflected again on how words and actions have an impact on us; how we re-act when others say or do things; and how we learn to become immune to the negative behaviour of others.
I looked at my own conduct and how easily I am influenced by others. I have a close friend who's own destructive behaviours were “infecting” my own integrity and the essence of who I truly was. I am having to learn to step back from our relationship in order to re-gain me. In doing so however, my friend has become more afraid of losing me, so rather than let go she is desperately trying to tighten the reigns between us.
In distancing myself, I have learned to watch with an open heart and mind and understand that her fears are not my fears. I can still remain her friend without having to go along with what she says or does. I am just present within myself, deflecting her projections and finding my own power to remain true to my essesnce.
May you always be true to yourself.
Namaste,
