I have actively been working on tolerance and acceptance since the first week of December when my mother-in-law arrived to stay with us. Usually before she arrives, I prepare myself to tolerate her, thinking that is the best and most loving thing I can do. After watching the video, I realize that a frightened part of my personality judges her for the way she chooses to live her life. I have judged her for her food choices, the way she uses fear to discipline my kids, and so much more. I am very aware of the fp because I can feel extreme discomfort in my energy centers. The areas of solar plexus, my chest and throat. It feels like my stomach is turned upside down, I feel heaviness on my chest, and my throat is tight. Also, the thoughts that come with these feelings are so strong that I am very aware I have a fp active. I get so angry, my fp just wants her to do things my way so I can feel better. These moments have occurred too often and I started really working on not coming from fear and really “accepting” her, and just notice the judgment without reacting to it. Before watching the video I thought this was the most loving way to handle it. Now I realize I have been tolerating her because my heart was not open to her. I thought that as long as I didn’t say anything I was accepting her but really I was giving myself permission to sit back and judge her, and the resistance was still there.

Hello Maritza! Yes, when I first noticed the FP I knew I had to check in with myself. I decided at that moment that I would set the intention to support the kids in the best way I can without being attached to the outcome. The next time I worked with them I was very relaxed and we all had a wonderful time together. I work with them as a group.

Hi Cindy! Can you give us a specific example?

I recently started working with some high school students that are in danger of not graduating from high school. I noticed that I have been attached to the kids doing their school work and noticed a FP that was getting discouraged because I felt they were not trying hard enough.

Thanks everyone! Goodnight.

So true Rosalind, no situation is too small!

I like that also Victoria. What really resonated with me was when Gary talked about being grateful for all experiences and to trust the universe especially when we feel down, stressed, or depressed. This is something I have to constantly remind myself of.
