Good morning everyone. Today's article was published in Dancing Elephant's Press, a sub-application of gradient.com. The topic is, this is how emotional tricking can be. And the sub-topic is, suggesting a well-crafted affirmation to handle situations when you feel manipulated by highly charged emotional conversation.
This is going to be pretty intense guys. This is actually, I am explaining one of the morning rituals that I do. I've been doing it for several years. So in this article, I will be describing one of those and probably you may have to listen a couple of times for this to sink in.
Okay? All right. Let's say one of your close friends or relative comes and tells you, Hey, you may be feel not loved. It could be that the way you express love by way of your words or behavior or emotions showing up on your face does not come up to the expectation of your friend or relative.
However, at the bottom of your heart, you are truly feeling and thinking that you're expressing, expressing, unconditional love with a friend or person. You sincerely pray for the well-being of that person. You pray and express gratitude for each of our personal and professional accomplishments. In a situation like this, it could also be construed as either of the person coming across as manipulative.
It may or may not be true. I have experienced such situations. I'm very emotional and end up crying as tears come to me automatically because that is my authentic being in the present moment feeling the feelings. I also firmly believe that when such an event happens, both of you are highly emotionally charged.
That is not the time in my opinion. You will get to feel the unconditional love for each other or even rationalize. However, the following affirmation specifically on the word manipulation from the book Meditations to Heal Your Life by Luis del He made complete sense to me. I'm taking you with my today's morning ritual of reading the following affirmation, which is helping me process my wound when I become a party to an event that I described about.
Here is the affirmation I'm referring to and let's read it together. And if you are listening to this episode from your car or something, please don't do this. But if you're at home, go in front of the mirror and try reading it aloud with me. Alright, here is how it starts.
My higher self is immune to manipulation and guilt. My higher self pilots my life. I'm not here to please other people or to live my life their way. I'm here to learn how to love myself and to love other people unconditionally.
No one can manipulate me without my consent. When I don't know who I am, I'm prone to being what someone else wants me to be. Therefore, I am interested in learning to know myself. I know that I do not have to fit into anyone else's emotional atmosphere nor do I have to manipulate others to fit them into my emotional atmosphere.
When manipulative games are going on, it is important to connect with a little child within me and reassure it that I love it and that together we are going to get through this. I call upon my higher self. Now an acceptance, love and wisdom. After reading the above affirmation aloud in front of the mirror, I'm giving myself permission for these words to slowly percolate into my brain.
I believe that by doing so, I'm creating a space for a new way of thinking. And when I come across such a situation in the future, I will be able to handle the event better by reminding myself of the following words. I know that I do not have to fit into anyone else's emotional atmosphere nor do I have to manipulate others to fit them into my emotional atmosphere. Very powerful sentence guys.
I really thank always I go to the book, you know, meditation is really my life and I look at Louis Elhay's picture and I thank her, literally I thank her. I do not have to stay too well because these are powerful words which she has generated and authored in her book and I once again I want to read it aloud for you. I know that I do not have to fit into anyone else's emotional atmosphere nor do I have to manipulate others to fit them into my emotional atmosphere. How many times without kitten, with our parents, with our children, without daughters in law, without anybody, we always try to do that, right?
We try to just fit into their emotional atmosphere or we expect them to fit into our emotional atmosphere. You don't have to do that guys, you don't have to do that. Just give yourself permission, you don't have to. You can still love them unconditionally, you can still give and receive pure love, absolutely it's possible.
I invite you to read the affirmation casually and check it out for yourself. Does it make sense to you? Do you think this would help you when you face a highly emotional, when you face a highly emotionally charged conversation with your loved ones? I look forward to reading your input and insights.
