People seem to be growing more sensitive to energies and noticing the energy of a group can really be a protective measure. I’ve noticed that some groups seem to shift energies from comfortable to dynamic to uncomfortable [for me] and sometimes it’s hard to pinpoint what is happening. Groups of 3 people can have a dynamic based on who wields more power in that trio while huge groups of 200 can have an amorphous energy that feels benign in the large group but contains many subgroups that have their own dynamic. Have you seen this in the groups in which you participate?
When you are sensitive to the energies around you, you might find yourself gravitating toward those people and groups whose energy patterns are compatible with yours. You might also find yourself moving away from groups, even those you have been a part of for a long time, when the energy feels as if it has shifted and no longer supports you or your personal growth. This is happening for a lot of people with churches and organizations that, at one time, served them but no longer do so.
People grow. At least, Conscious People grow. For those who are pursuing a life of evolutionary consciousness, many groups complete their purpose in a person’s life and that person must make a choice about whether to continue to associate with the group or to move on. This does not always have to be painful or difficult or done in anger or sadness. This is just the path of an evolutionary person. Just as you do not stay in grade school for your whole life, some associations complete their usefulness for your personal growth and you ‘graduate’ from them. The graceful way to leave these groups is to bless them on their own way while accepting that your path parts from theirs on the journey.
Have you ever seen someone stay a part of a group only to criticize and complain about that group? Doesn’t that make you wonder why they stay a member? And what about families that get together for a holiday celebration but the individuals can’t wait for the so-called ‘celebration’ to be over so they can go to be with their friends? At times, a group or even a family no longer supports one on one’s journey. It might take a lot of energy to move out of a familiar group or to decide to spend less time with a family that makes one feel uncomfortable. One alternative to leaving is to see if the group is willing to shift its energy into a space that feels more comfortable to the person considering leaving.
This can be a tall order but it can have dramatic results. In some cases, just pointing out that old patterns have jumped up again and that perhaps they don’t belong in the 21st Century gathering can cause people to reconsider their behaviors. Sometimes you can simply ask to be treated differently. I’ve seen this work with people who tease and joke to the point of causing emotional pain to another but, when requested, stop acting that way. It might be helpful to think ahead to a gathering where you anticipate feeling uncomfortable and ask yourself how you wish it were different. Energize that different picture of the gathering, and believe that you can ask others to participate in the new vision.
And even if others don’t want to change the situation, it might be that gaining a perspective on what is going on helps YOU to change how you feel about the situation. Understanding the energy of a group and how it depends on the energy that you bring to it can give you new insights into your participation in that group. Decide that you can shift or they can shift or you can drift away.
