Hello all,

I come to you seeking your voice and light.

At work I've had an especially hard time with a coworker lately. We don't see eye to eye on several issues. On advice of my boss I extended an olive branch and not only was it ignored, I felt baited to raise a relatively trivial issue to a higher level. (I ignored it)

What's this got to do with reiki?

Well, I've drawn my symbol around me asking for protection against this negative force. I've also asked the universe to have key correspondence with this woman received in the best possible light.

What I'm trying to do is to quit engaging myself in negative behavior toward her because I think that I am only attracting more negative behavior.

But after a week plus of all my good energy intentions I still seem open to her negative energies. It is even affecting my sleep.

Any advice would be welcome.

She is the manager of the box office. I'm the manager of the membership department.

We both report to the same supervisor.

I view us to be equals but I think that some of the policies she impliments are not friendly to our members who we will want to cultivate a good customer service relationship with as we want them to come back.

Hi,
Just an idea, you can write a letter to her angels of light asking for their intervention for the highest good of everyone involved. You can also surround yourself with pink light which only love can penetrate. (visualize a pink bubble of light around you) You may want to try forgiving your coworker for his/her actions and remember that this person is a being of god/light and that everyone is doing the best they can with the level of understanding and knowledge that they have at that given moment. I hope this helps.
Blessings,
Jennifer

Hi judevine,

A suggestion: Meditate on the situation.

Open yourself by asking for Divine Guidance and protection from negativity. Get as relaxed as possible, imagine white light slowly pouring through your Crown chakra and moving thoughout your body, spiraling and filling you from head to toe, and going into the earth through golden cords attached to the soles of your feet. Then see that light coming back through you, moving slowly upward from toe to head, purified. You may want to envision the Sei-He-Ki while the light makes its way back up through your body. Repeat if you feel it is right. Ask your guides to come in and help you find the meaning of this situation, and give you some insight. Once you get it, express your love and gratitude and then decide how to proceed.

You can do whatever you want. Free will is wonderful!

I wish you the best!

These are great suggestions. You are likely experiencing her jealousy. Be kind.

I can relate just having a similar situation. Read energy vampires. I find avoidance and politeness is the way to deal and surround yourself with St Michael's the archanagels light. Do not speak negative words about her because it will just feed the fire. Bless her and send her to her highest good ask for protection and that your skills, diplomacy and kindness will be noticed. Always take the high rode when dealing with negative people. I know it sounds corny but 2 books have helped me Dale Carnegies books and dealing with difficult people as well as toxic people. I believe these people push our buttons and we need to learn how to stay on our own track and let it go!!! YOu will win and save face as they say in the martial arts her negativity will backfire on her..... Hope this helps Eirelassey

Judevine,

I once had a particularly vicious boss who was attended by a couple of unpleasant entities. [My best guess is that they were initially attracted by her energy, and then she and they fed off each other. When she was finally stripped of professional power, they apparently abandoned her, presumably in favor of someone else through whose influence they could cause more mischief.] I got in the habit of, whenever she was around me, throwing up a protective shield: a thick wall of protective white light on my side, tinged with lavender on hers to dissipate her crap. In short order, two things happened: the visualization became almost reflexive, and she always went someplace else within a minute or less.

I don't know if this is feasible in your situation, but it certainly worked for me.

Bright blessings; hail Eris!

Hi:

What a difficult situation to be in. The one thing that may help is to try to understand what life lession this is for you. We know that we are all here to learn and people are put in our path to help up achieve this. It may be a lesson in patience, forgiveness, etc. Or to turn this around it may be that you are his/her teacher and the manner in which you handle the situation my help him/her on their path. It may be that they don't discover this for some time though.!

There was a boss in my friends work who was horrible to her staff. She decided to surround this woman with white light every day for the purpose of helping her (the boss) as it was obvious from her behaviour that she was coming from a place of fear herself. The good news is within a few days this woman (boss) changed. Everyone noticed the difference commenting on how nice she had become.

When we try to remove our own emotions to assist I believe the universe will be behind us all the way and work for everyone's highest good.

Blessings

Well my humble view is that you have the idea backwards a little.Of course I can only go by what is said as it is written and thus interpretted by my person.

You say that you wish to end negative engagements because it only brings negativity back to you.

Being positive for gain is not really being positive.

I think when you go with the idea that one should be compassionate to be compassionate and not look for how things will change or for what will improve but do it because it is who you are then you will see the benefits you are looking for.

And also there is no telling how this positive return would manifest. there's no hard fast rule that says when you are nice and polite to an individual they are going to treat you that way in return. In being nice to her some other area of your life may recieve this energy.

Then again the way to go might be you leaving or them leaving.

Also a week is a rather short time for such things.

Hello all,

Thank you all for your wonderful insight. I went to my reiki master on Tuesday and we did a reading and we did some work about this coworker.

Basically my feelings of resentment toward her are because she is coddled by upper management and that smacks against everything I think is fair and just.

Further, the reason that she and I clash is that I refuse to coddle her and so she doesn't know how to react to that or to me and so we have friction.

So, while this doesn't solve the immediate issue of my prickly co-worker.. with some insight and your recommendations we'll make it.

Thanks!
