What to do with negative energies?

Where do you feel scared and powerless?

Once you can sit with that sense of powerlessness without resistance to it, you can ask yourself what loving actions you can align to and move yourself towards peace.

Anger only fuels more anger when we deny ourselves or feel denied the opportunity to delve into the experience of powerlessness underneath it.

Love is an action which can grow and move once that powerlessness has been acknowledged, accepted and allowed in presence as it moves within and through the body.

Thank you!

What I mean with negative energies is for instance someone does something that makes you mad. You're gonna have to deal with that energy in your body now.

I recently discovered you can send the energy back to them. So instead of going around with a bad feeling because of something they have done, they can have it instead. I have no idea if they actually get it but it feels better intending it so

I'm pretty sure you can use these energy to manifest as well but it's not very comfortable.

Of course you can use it to just go and beat them that would work too.

Any other suggestions?

So number one thing is to take responsibility for all emotions you experience. No matter what another does, we can work toward controlling our responses and our emotions. We can choose to not react, and to not be pulled in to negative vibrational states. Obviously, sometimes this is really hard, and I would never judge someone for their emotions. But I do think the power is within our reach to control ourselves. No one else has this power, unless we give it to them.

Once you are in control, then you can reflect that energy back, as you said. How do you do this? Ignore their negative energy. If you don't accept it into you, by reacting, the other person will often get confused or frustrated that you're not reacting, and in essence it reflects back to them. Always keep a positive, fair minded, loving attitude toward them, and then just make your actions about self-respect (you can be kind, and completely at peace, while having strong boundaries).

No, do not try to manifest with anger. I wouldn't. Not unless you can convert it to something positive first, like passion. Then, use it! Just make sure the thoughts you are sending out are positive and high vibration. No trying to beat them. Focus on yourself only, and they will often be their own demise (but don't wish it upon them).

Agree that anger is a cover emotion. Often for pain, like grief and heartache. We feel angry when someone insults or disrespects us. This is on the way to the next emotion, which is often pain (you might cry after being angry for a while). Then, you're getting closer to your vortex. After pain, you will feel a little better, maybe getting into hope. From there, your hope builds into more and more positive feelings as you process the situation and learn from it. The wound they pierced in you, was already there! They just pointed out where you needed to heal yourself for you. You heal yourself by finding and fixing the thoughts that are self-loathing, and converting them to self-loving thoughts. After you process everything from the negative experience, you will be more whole. This gives you more positive energy for manifesting your dreams!

But if it doesn't affect you but you just don't like what they've done; their opinion, remember it is just a difference. Save the anger for another day.

I used to think so too for long time. Now, I believe that emotionally engaging the negative source feeds the negative situation. You have to remove it from your thoughts' reality, and especially from your emotions, and there are no middle grounds.

OK. off my grammar soap box.

Now to thrash you over your bliss bunny wishful thinking.

You cannot deny, repress, suppress or ignore negativity. Doing that puts you in a positivity deficit. You feel it, you express it, you move on. You never chastise people for "being negative", listen to what they are actually saying and consider the possibility that your reaction to what you consider negativity is a problem in you, not them. Denial will only make stuff come up closer and closer until it is in your face so that you have to acknowledge it.

If someone is constantly hurting you, you don't just let them, you speak up. That is not negativity, that is responding to a situation that needs to be addressed. If someone expresses how they feel, it is valid, don't negate their feeling because they make you uncomfortable. If they are constantly depressed, you can walk away "because they are too negative and you don't need that" or you can try to figure out how to help them. I know your choice in that will be dependent on how much you care about that person.

The whole world is made up of positive and negative ions, electrical charges etc. You have to learn balance.

Negativity is unhealthy, knowing That, why would you choose it. Its senseless. Anger, Hate, Fear. All negative. Amen

you think I should just stop talking negatively about the negativity that is bothering me ?

I agree - I hate being negative --- or should I just say that I love being positive - anyway you have good positive posts that I actually read because you do me the ultimate favor of keeping them short and simple --- thanks for all your positive posts

You are misunderstanding what I said. I said balance is what you need. Negativity is not the subject I was addressing, avoiding, reflecting, suppressing, ignoring, any emotion you don't like is not healthy. We are emotional beings and ignoring or refusing to acknowledge your anger or fear or what ever other emotions you claim are "negative" diminshes your feelings of joy, happiness, calm, and any emotions you label and "positive".

Just try to pretend like you are not angry because "anger is wrong" when someone has done something that hurts you somehow. You will never get over it, but when you allow that you are angry you can deal with it and move on to your joy. We are not designed to ignore half of who we are or what we experience. You get cancer or other health issues from pretending like you don't get angry and avoiding anything you consider "negative". It stays in your body because you don't allow it expression. Projecting it onto someone else, that is called "Passive Aggressive" behavior. Who wants to be around that?

I'd rather live in a world of love thank you very much. My choice will always be love , but that's just me. Btw, hate is negative by definition and love is positive by definition, I dont label them as such, they are what they are by definition meaning one is healthy and the other is unhealthy. Pure science. Undeniably true and factual. Amen

I agree with you. As well as with your previous comment.

People think they can choose but they can only choose to resist or embrace. And those that resist and suppress their darker emotions are the worst type of negative.
