How to Disconnect from Toxic Collective Emotions by Rose Rosetree

GOT TERROR? HEAL IT TODAY
http://www.rose-rosetree.com/healingfear.htm

I picked up a book I got years ago that had a different process but based on the same idea of disconnecting from negativity that belongs to group or collective thoughtforms. I didn't like most of the book so I did not want to recomended so went looking for something from someone I felt good about linking to when I found this on Rose's site :) Sometimes I can feel it when I hook into a collective fear as I go from one level of worry to overwhelm in a nanosecond. It is hard enough dealing with my own stuff without falling into another person or group's pit of despair. I figure this sort of thing is one part of what we are seeing politically with the health care hullabaloo sucking in already fearful people looking something to put their fear and anger on whether or not there is any basis in reality for them to fear it.

Thank you! I am worn out by the multi-phobics against health care (and everything they are told to be against). I said those prayers. I need to be relieved of my own fear of such people, perhaps I pick up from and contribute to the group fears of the liberal side.

I am absolutely convinced at this point that fear is the biggest problem our country has right now, we are awash in the most outrageous fears. Time to switch from the fear channel.

Thanks Shallah Kali

the best thing to do is disconnect and starve the parasites out. Then as best as I can deal with my own stuff for my own sake and so I don't emit psychic garbage for others to pick up on. I am more than a little ocd about things so I work to not add to my list of things to worry about a 'i am making the world a toxic place :eek:' kinda thing, just do what I can the best that I can. Scoop it up and transmute it and use it myself or give it to the Earth to reuse like energetic compost. I have stopped smudging my home daily cutting down to every 2 or 3 days to keep things clean and continue to peel back deeper layers of old stuff layered on in this old place.

too much. The fear, yeah, the anger and hatred, but it so clearly disinformed and delusional...... I am sick of the lies and liars, in politics, on the local and national level and am disconnecting from that madness...

Thank for the reference. :grouphug:

I find it a shame that lies aren't simply outed by our media then cast to the side. That's the most dissappointing thing in our society. It was the same methods that led to every bit of horror over the past 8 years, but we, as a nation, keep responding to the false things like bait.

since then and too many are used to it or born into and consider it "normal" or too hard to suss out.

They all sound like cartoon characters now. I am hoping some more people wake up. I am trying not to feed the news trolls with my rage right now, they don't deserve my emotion so long as they rival Buggs Bunny.

It's we who are oversaturated and tuning out. Dare I say "tuning in" to what matters, what is healthy and sane....

And you're right. Rage feeds the insanity. It has no other purpose but to make people mad -- in both senses.

who raise up more little authoritiarians who either want to rule or be ruled by what appears to be strength no matter how fracking insane the leader actually is the followers feel better because the leader acts confident and promisies to destroy some outside enemy that they can project all their neurosis on.

scared miserable people. terrified someone undeserving is on welfare, yells about how the standards should be tougher then when they hit a tough patch complain the standards aren't lax enough to let them get welfare or other aid. I can't help but feel compassion for the hurt they feel often due to dreadful experiences when very young but not so much compassion for the venom spewing adult they turned into. Tried sending Reiki a few times in their general direction with the intention that it's there if they want it but never felt it was accepted :(

"Sometimes I can feel it when I hook into a collective fear as I go from one level of worry to overwhelm in a nanosecond."

That's me. And I don't even realize it until I'm in the despair. When I'm having a challenge, I think about everyone else going through similar and worse challenges, and instead of that giving me strength, I get pulled down so easily.

No one ELSE is doing it to me, I'm doing it. Empathy run amok.

I had done so well with the compassionate detachment thing for so long, and now find myself nearly at the bottom of the hopelessness barrel -- but not only about my situation, about everyone else's.

Oy.

:eyes:

I'll read this. Thanks. :hug:

It has already soothed me.

I need to quit the politics for a bit....

it will unfold in whatever way without me checking up and being outraged ......

it's true, as youz here are saying, don't add to the negative energy; tend to your own energies.

means I will need to back off DU for a bit :( -- but probably just as well, I waste much too much time here.
