Never Switch Your Vibration For Toxic, Negative People

Recently I was invited out for coffee by one of my very good friends. This lady is sweet, gentle, and extremely accepting of others. When we arrived at the coffee shop, she introduced me to another friend. I was very happy to make the acquaintance, as meeting new people is always a rather thrilling experience for me. I find it opens up a world of new ideas, opinions, and information.

Now, generally, I tend to operate in a gentle, fluid vibration, which is usually ideal, as it removes all anxiety or any kind of inner turmoil. But, suprisingly, meeting this lady my energy instantly switched to a harsh, resistant vibration, which is very much out of my character.

I could actually feel my body physically reacting to her presence. Since I was immediately aware of the change in the ‘vibes,’ I tried my best to establish a calmer and more accepting manner with this person and was temporarily at least somewhat successful in going back to my normally centered, grounded state. Our conversation were not exactly harmonious, but things did proceed in a slightly more friendly fashion.

During our chit chat, she discovered that I go bike riding every morning for a couple of hours. I live in a very small city, so it is no problem for 1me to hop on my bicycle and head out into the countryside, for what is usually the most enjoyable part of my day.

The route I normally take goes through a lovely area of farmland, where of course there are at times many dogs running about. Most farmers here do not restrain their animals, but it has never caused me any major problems. I love animals and actually enjoy seeing them.

The lady asked me if I ever got chased by the dogs, and of course the answer was, yes, sometimes I am. She then asked if I had ever got bitten and I quickly assured her that has thankfully never happened. I also confidently reassured her that I had no expectation of such an event ever occurring.

Much to my surprise, the lady forcefully set about to convince me with intense passion that this was indeed what was going to happen to me eventually. Those ‘wild dogs’ were eventually going to get hold of me and harm me in unspeakable ways! She was absolutely convinced this calamity was inevitable.

Then I made the mortal mistake. Instead of remaining calm and centered, in my vibration of peace and harmony, with the intention of always manifesting only for my highest good, I switched gears once again and allowed her fearmongering to drag me back into a position of resistance and discord. Yes, you guessed it. I fervently began defending my stance on the fact that it would absolutely not occur. Never.

I subconsciously realized on a logical level that all I needed to do was to allow this lady to have her say and let her indulge her own negativity, with no emotional reaction from me. Why should it matter what another person’s opinions or thoughts are? I am the one riding the bike after all.

When you are joyful, when you say yes to life and have fun and project positivity all around you, you become a sun in the center of every constellation, and people want to be near you ~ Shannon L. Alder

Soon, I realized I need to take a step back and regain my energetic composure. I am always more comfortable in a state of inner peace, joy, and acceptance. Within moments her doom prophecies evaporated into thin air. It does take two to tango, after all.

Take heart from all of this. If you feel yourself slipping into a vibration that seems foreign and unwanted to you, it is not difficult to switch back to where you normally live within yourself. Don’t allow the toxic negativity of others to ruin your happy space.
