Harmlessness

Saturday, 06 May 2023 Written by Diana Cooper

Our words and actions towards others can brighten their light or dim it.  So too can our thoughts.  We powerfully impact on those around us, whether we know them personally or not and even if we are distant from them. 

I have become increasingly aware where my thoughts harbour underlying judgements or criticisms.  One morning recently I meditated on harmlessness and asked for help in developing this quality.  I knew I would be tested that day!  I was going to meet a friend called Sally, who on one level I admire but on another I realised I judged as indecisive and a bit flaky, so I really was going to have to change my attitude and thoughts. 

On my drive to meet her I remembered two stories I often share.  The first was a day when I  decided to visualise Archangel Chamuel’s beautiful pink Orb round me.  As I walked my dogs I imagined I was walking in that pink light. I breathed into my heart and then exhaled it into my aura so that the love energy radiated around me. We paused on a bridge and I closed my eyes to focus more on the love radiating from my heart.  When I opened my eyes a kingfisher sat on a branch nearby, on one side of me sat my two dogs, on the other a fox!  Amazing!  At that moment I must have been harmless. 

The other story I remember was told me by a friend.  She was in a beauty spot strewn with litter.  She was thinking critical thoughts about those who drop litter when a voice from nowhere said, ‘And what about the psychic litter you are leaving with your judgmental thoughts!’  That story was a pivotal moment for me and whenever I saw a piece of litter I started to bless the person who dropped it. I blessed them with integrity and a feeling of belonging.  I did this consciously every day until it became a habit.   I resolved I must do the same thing with all judgmental or critical thoughts.  ‘Right’, I decided, ’Today I must practice blessing Sally in my thoughts instead of judging.’

When we met she talked and talked about her many and challenging problems. As she did so I mentally blessed her and each problem.  What surprised me was, not the feeling of empathy I had for her but the fact that my entire body felt totally relaxed and expanded.  I felt that the blessing had also deepened my feelings of compassion and caring. 

And of course, when I was judging her, she would unconsciously have felt the energies as if they were attacking arrows, so she was putting up a barrier against me.  No one can be objective and ready to make changes when they are under attack.   To my delight, when I  shifted my thoughts to blessings, she was able to see some of her problems differently and started to resolve them. 

We are incredibly powerful and our thoughts are so potent that they literally create or attract everything that happens to us.  They enable others to change or they can hold them back.
