3 TIPS ON BRINGING COMPASSION TO THE FACE OF TERROR

Addressing the collective shadow

When faced with heinous hurtful events, our ability to express empathy and compassion is challenged to our core. 

The anger, shame and disgust, judgement that arises is so intense that it jars us out of our hearts. This is often when our Lightworker activist shows up in a big way. Wanting to stomp all over other opinions and perspectives, disrespecting the sovereign free will of other beings - we bully other perspectives underground, back into the shadows.

We run to creating new rules and conditions to suppress and punish hurtful ‘dark’ human behaviour. When we create new rules and conditions, all we are doing is creating the same old path of giving away our sovereignty. This is the path humanity has taken since the beginning of time. Creating a multitude of societal conditions - to which if we don’t oblige, we are punished, shamed, isolated.

Acceptance of other perspectives is DIFFERENT to agreeing to and giving our permission to hurtful behaviours.

How do we return to an UNCONDITIONAL loving space as a society & collective aka unconditional love? 

Tip 1: Do your inner shadow work
It’s much easier to accuse and call out others than it is to reflect and figure out what MY role is in this. Luke: “Why do you look at the speck in your brother's eye, but fail to notice the beam in your own eye?”

Tip 2: Provide a safe space for vulnerability
Allow yourself to feel and express your own perspectives & opinions - no matter how hurtfully ‘dark’ they are. Let them come to the surface. Just feel, explore, accept - without action. A great exercise is to write these down, without anybody else to read them - like a shadow bio.

Tip 3: Find the middle way to stay in your heart
