Dealing with difficult people
| Wed, 12-28-2011 - 7:55pm |
I work in a doctors office as a receptionist. The woman I was hired to help (I have only been there for 2 months) behaves, for the most part, very negatively towards me.
I know she feels threatened but I have gone out of my way to make her feel at ease. If she snaps at me I try to ignore it and focus on being calm and projecting that outwards but it is starting to wear me down.
I have read that writting negative things

Let me first say that I'm not actually Pagan but have friends who are.
Glad some of it helped! ;)
And, no, it's not to late to hope. Our species has a long way to go, but we have come a long way. Changes happen one person at a time. :P

So sorry it took me so long to respond to your post!
How about some spellwork? Protective shielding around you, yet enveloping her in loving and healing energy as well as yourself? I have also used shielding and cleansing showers/baths to remove the jarring energy after a work day. The listing and burning in your cauldron is a good idea, also.
I am working on a Zen concept of "compassionate breathing" as well... When such situations occur, the negative harmful energy being directed at me, or others and I am present. I try to breathe in the suffering and then in the next breath, let it all go, breathing out. Realize this person is suffering and expressing her mental suffering toward you. It's a meditative concept:
