7 Spiritual Qualities That Calm the People Around You
#5 Realizing it's all a game
Think about the last time you felt someone’s energy.
How did it make you feel?
I just got back from my fiancée’s hometown.
Whenever I go, my mother-in-law treats me like part of the family. She’s generous, thoughtful, positive, and kind. But something rises above her personality traits. It’s the energy she gives off.
Energetic vibrations are as real as a basket filled with homemade, freshly toasted tortillas.
Every time I go with her to pick corn or avocados, I know she wants me to be there.
That’s special.
To know that your presence is appreciated.
Someone who gives off potent high frequencies elevates the people around them.
They don’t complain, gossip, or project stress. They live with grace leaving destiny in God’s hands.
And serve as a beacon of light along the way.
Here are 7 spiritual qualities that calm the people around you:
Not identifying with your thoughts
You can’t control every thought that enters your mind.
And since thoughts influence emotions, you can’t control every emotion you feel.
Sometimes you feel like an angel just gave you a little slap on the butt and told you, “Keep up the good work.”
Other times, the devil makes a lot of sense when he whispers, “It’s out of reach, man, just wallow away with me on the sofa and we’ll eat our feelings together.”
You often feel both. And you don’t know why.
But the “why” isn’t important. It’s how you react.
Are you going to let that sly devil bring your energy down?
No, sir.
Consistent non-identification and non-reaction to your thoughts bring a sense of decisive tranquility to those around you.
Seeing people as reflections of yourself
This is the “Golden Rule” on steroids.
You’re literally that other person. Treat yourself (them) like Argentinians treat Messi after he scores the winning penalty kick.
This is all one big energy bonanza.
We’re all swimming in each other’s energy.
I know that sounds a little gross. But I’ve made my point clear.
Like my parents taught me when I was a kid.
Treat the janitor the same way you treat the CEO.
We’re all equal. We’re all one.
Curiously observing with a sense of amusement
I come off as a serious guy, so I’ve been told.
I’ll admit it. I can be stern. Maybe even solemn at times.
But that’s often when I’m in the clouds. Unconscious of what’s going on.
Snap back to reality and realize that this world is quite interesting.
Develop a curiosity about everything
Observe your surroundings
Put a slightly amused grin on your face
Not a smug grin or a know-it-all grin.
An amused grin.
This attitude makes people feel at ease.
They might even think you’re a little high.
High off life, baby.
Consciously projecting love and understanding
All is mind.
The world is what you think it is.
Your external reality is a direct result of your perspective.
When someone projects hate you can feel it. And it’s not pleasant.
Projecting love and understanding is a much more attractive proposition. Who doesn’t want to be loved and understood?
And you thought spells, magic, and Harry Potter weren’t real. Ha.
You are Harry Potter. And your spells are your conscious projections.
Where I live, “echando el ojo” o “mal de ojo” is a recognized “dark magic” practice. A heavy stare with evil intentions can cause grave harm.
Key takeaway: Your thoughts are powerful. Use them to spread light amid the darkness. People will notice.
Realizing that it’s all a game
Many people with NEDs (near-death experiences) say that when they were in no man’s land, they looked back at their life and thought, “Why did I take that so seriously?”
It may feel intense at times.
It may feel like “The Hunger Games” more than “Ferris Bueller’s Day Off.”
Remind yourself to take it easy.
Chill.
You’re here to experience, create, and enjoy.
Even the most difficult circumstances change when your perspective changes.
Your reaction is everything.
Treat life like a game and those around you will want in.
Releasing tension and replacing it with tranquility
Tension is contagious.
You can see when someone is tense. Their jaw is locked. Their body is stiff. Their movements are robotic.
It’s making me tense just thinking about it.
You don’t even need to see tension; you can feel it.
Become aware of the tension within.
Grab ahold of the stick and gently dislodge it from your rear end.
Move when you feel like moving. Dance a joyful jig. Skip like a child. Be you.
People are happier when they’re free of tension and attracted to those who live tension-free.
Saying “no” with a smile
Being spiritual doesn’t mean being a “yes man” who can easily be taken advantage of. Set boundaries and avoid people with that “mal de ojo” vibe.
You’re entitled to respect. If it’s not given, it’s not worth looking for.
But understand this.
The universe sends certain people into your life to test you. To see how you react.
“I’m sending Brian this time. Let’s see if Bobby loses his shit again.”
Brian is going to Brian.
Don’t let Brian sift your energy like a bunch of punks stealing gas out of your tank.
Remember.
Brian is your reflection.
People respect a thoughtful response to a thoughtless provocation.
