Anti Negative Vibration Shield

For some reason, I have become more aware, and more anxious, over negative events, images, ideas. They really whig me out. They settle into my bones as if the action/emotion was happening to me.

I nearly cried last night when I saw a friend's website. She has fallen into more self-abuse and loathing and there is nothing I can do about it. She chooses this self-abuse consciously seeing it as a way out of her childhood abuse. At one time, I thought that might be possible for her, but the depths to which she has sunk now frighten me.

While browsing some of the blogs I read, I was accosted by a blog about Saddam. If you would like, you want watch a video of his hanging...even to the point of death. I want to scream, "WHY!?" Why have we, as a society, allowed death to become some sort of entertainment? Or, worse yet, does watching someone die give some a sense of righteousness or relief or justice? How twisted is that? How can we rejoice over anyone's suffering -- I don't care who they are?

A book I have been reading suggests that we avoid negative vibrations. My first thought was, "Yeah, well, if I feel them, I'm sure to walk the other direction," not expecting to feel negative vibrations. Well, that was short lived. My reception to negative vibrations has seemed to amplify. It's not that I wouldn't have felt something regarding the two incidents I described above. It's that I don't think they would have hung on this long. I don't remember feeling the vibrations reverberate through me in this way, bringing me down with a hard crash.

Needless to say, I'm feeling it to be wise advice to avoid negative vibrations -- considering how they are now making me feel. But how does one avoid them? I didn't know that my friend's website and Wordpress would have content that would vibrate through me negatively. I have to admit, I hung around on my friend's website looking for something positive -- hoping that the page I saw hadn't been updated for a year or more and that maybe something newer would be more positive. And, I had to go and make a comment to the author who posted about the Saddam video. So, I could have spared myself some of the negative vibrations I picked up had I just walked away. Easy enough to do with the blog entry -- a little harder to do with my friend.

Life would be wonderful if I had an anti negative vibration shield. "Warning, warning!" it will sound well in advance. "Negative vibrations again. Stop now or suffer the consequences!" Maybe my inner knowing will eventually get that fine tuned. In the mean time, I have to learn the "just walk away" part.
