“When you are around people who think of evil in life and direct this kind of emotion toward you, you can absorb this negative energy, if you are not prepared. Because you are sensitive, it will become part of you for a while until you learn to cleanse it.
Begin by addressing the fact that you are a spiritual entity with nothing but neutral and positive energy; I guarantee you that you will not have the problems that you had before. Be aware of how energy is directed toward you and what people say to you. Make yourself like a funnel or a sieve.
If a person gets mad at you for no reason and starts offending you, then say to yourself — mentally, if not directly to the person — ‘I do not accept your anger, rage, or hostility.’ Feel as if it is beautiful, clear water running through a sieve. You have purified and neutralized the energy sent to you. You have done a very beautiful thing: Now that you have neutralized that negative energy; it cannot harm you.
You have to say, in all truthfulness, ‘Give it your best shot!’ Instead of resisting, try to just relax and let it pass through. If you do, it goes away. The harder you fight, the more negativity you add to it. They really cannot do much beyond scaring you. Let them do whatever they wish. Trust me when I tell you that it will subside.
When you get a harsh note from someone, when there is bad news, or when you get something that gives you anxiety, take a deep breath and say, ‘I will not let this impact me. It cannot affect me. I am like a sieve through which water just simply runs. It cannot stick or cling to me; I will not give any voice, knowledge or reality to it!’ ”
God, Creation, And Tools For Life, Sylvia Browne, p. 180 – 181.
