    You are absolutely right. I don’t know I forgot about the
    Inner Smile for situations like this. I think that this
    could be a powerful tool.

    I actually do have the meditation CD, and it is quite good.
    I haven’t practiced it for awhile, since I’ve been distracted
    with QF1 and DHQ.

    However, now that you and others have mentioned this, this
    makes me realize that I need to go back and return to this practice. I think
    I need to practice this more so that I can draw upon it without
    the CD and *think* to use it in other contexts.

    Best,

    Going slightly off topic here . . .

    It is kind of ironic that you mentioned this, because I just got done reading
    a short paragraph intro on this in Michael’s 5 Animals book.

    Is this something that people train to do for some reason, or
    is this something that happens spontaneously to certain personality types
    after continued qigong practice for no discernable reason?

    Michael mentioned something about an alchemy conference where this
    issue was discussed? Is anyone familiar with this?

    If you are the sensible type like you are, you can eat chi easily.

    When I am at retreats with fair amount of good chi 🙂 I don’t need food much or eat none at all, or often just little bit for the social part of it. Once back in the stream of normal life, the eating starts to become were I left it before a retreat.

    When you arrange your life dedicated to practice only and have a good surrounding with nice chi and you are a receptive type it is not even hard in my opinion.

    Thanks AA. I read about this a few months ago and it triggered that big guilt place in me and I stayed away like I also did with the practice of tonglen, where one breathes in the trouble and out the virtue.

    What I mean is in my deeper perceptions I experience this as truth. The deep resonance we are. The mind says well this guy is special but i know it is not that.

    To put it into shen terms, this practice supports my hearts expression but could suppress my lungs. What I mean is I could lose myself in the other and soon take responsibility in a false way. I am not sure what this means but I can feel it.

    Taking full responsibility for myself is somehow taking responsibility for others and this is a paradox the mind fries in.

    Just thinking out loud…Bar

    Gentleness flows everywhere where it finds a passage. Your nearness with your own sadness gives you the possibility to be close with the sadness of another person.
    The nearness with your own anger gives you the courage to encounter the anger of another person without being caught by it. Mild open attention gives you space and warmth.

    My tip to you, be as aware as possible in your encounters with ‘others’, instead of living in your own head and thoughts as you say you do, try to meet, be open and alert to what is happening around you, always.

    This topic was well covered. Just wanted to emphasize what Trunk was saying about coming from strength instead of fear. And to add to NN point about not being shy about using energetic techniques until things are better integrated.
    I think its very different to have an intention to wisely and neutrally set up a boundary to keep out distractions and unwanted energy than it is to set up a “protection shield” energetically that is based on some level of fear, or protecting some weakness within.

    Protection can attract more negativity like a magnet. Negative energy will try and match your level of unconscious fear.

    Setting a boundary is like closing the door to your home – the signal is “I want privacy” or “Do not Disturb”. It doesn’t magnetize the way fear does.

    Energy boundaries are permeable – you can still witness neutrally what is happening outside, without judgment or reactivity. You don’t lose your ability to respond if you so feel called. You just open the door. But the event no longer controls you, it is your free choice.

    hope this helps.

    Hi Alexander. . . I found this to be an interesting article.

    I have to say that I’ve never really believed that all that
    we experience is created from our own consciousness.

    I’ve always viewed Earth as a playground that several individuals each
    with their own consciousness are sharing. Under this idea,
    I’m in control of myself and others are in control of their selves.
    When these two things intersect, incompatibility arises and that is
    where lessons form.

    HOWEVER, having said that, I’m willing to keep an open mind,
    and consider the claims in the article to be a possibility.

    Thank you for sharing this. You’ve given me something to think about 🙂

    Best,

    You might take a look at Colin Tipping’s book Radical Forgiveness for a very clean, clear rundown of the principles involved and how to use them. -A

    Try this and see if it works for you (it has for me).

    First make sure your energy is up and inwardly radiant.

    Then go into a very polluted environment, say a smoggy city, noise, a bad party, everything or almost anything.
    In a grounded way, let go of the breath, no thoughts, let go of trying to buffer yourself, and feel a kind of inner poetry with it. Bad smells become just energy, noise becomes many voices singing, and inwardly feel that divinity. Be sure you are outside (not in a building, your energy msut be larger than the confines of a room). Do this while moving (keep the poetry), not sitting still with eyes closed. Keep the core deep in the body (stay present and a pressence inside of you).

    Do not overdue it, but see if you can carry that breathless-kind-of-state through such a situation. Even if you end up not feeling so well, you will be able to throw if off quicker with your practices, and you might gain some practical experience with something inside that is beyond all this.

    While this is a much different and perhaps more impersonal scenario than you mentioned (about absorbing peoples negativity), their is a carry over.
