My journey dealing with the “evils” of others. Meeting demons with loving kindness

Lessons in action one baby step at a time…

I was first introduced to this idea by my dear friend and mentor Desiree Rudder LMT and DJ at KMUZ of Soul talk in Salem Oregon. She also introduced me to Jesse the amazing and beautiful Guru I mention here. I am not sure who I have spoken to the most on this topic but the conversation entered my soul by the gentle guidance of Miss Desiree. And the dialogue continues from time to time with Desiree. I am so very grateful for my friend and her willingness to pass on to me what she learns from her Guru’s and all of her learning resources. It is because of the willingness of others to share that I am doing as well as I am and that I desire greatly to share as well.

I have been learning from my Buddhist Guru to meet “demons” with loving kindness. First of all, I put the words “demons” and “evil” into quotation marks because there are so many interpretations of those words and I am mostly quoting the Buddhist terms, however loosely.

My Guru says that instead of fighting against “demons” If I fill my heart with loving kindness the battle will fade. At first I was angered. I had the “eye for an eye” or the “I need to fight and protect myself” mentality. Yet he wanted me to learn that the strongest weapon is non-fighting. When the “demons” have no victim, they have no purpose and no power. He said they would then become my servant. At first I thought; “Ah, slavery is bad!” But what I think he meant was that the demon would then find his way behind me, this would then put me in the lead.

I’m not an educated Buddhist Guru by any means but this is how I took the lesson of meeting “demons” with loving kindness and used it in my life. I mixed the lesson of meeting every challenge, demon and attack with loving kindness with the prayer of Ho'oponopono along with my own personal touches that resonated with my life.

Meditative Visualization...

First take a few deep breaths and let them out. Allow your eyes to close and your body to go into a deep relaxation. Surround yourself in protective light. Focus on your breathing.
After a few minutes of deep relaxation you can create your own visualization similar or exactly as this one I do. Do what works for you.

I start out finding a memory of something that fills my heart with love and joy. For me it is imagining my grandson’s when they see me as they yell out “Grandma!” and come running for a hug. This fills my heart and soul and I take that intense loving feeling with me into this meditation.

I visualize the person or people one at a time sitting in lotus as I too am in lotus. I see them with eyes closed, our spirits rise above our bodies, we are floating way up in the stars as pure spirit essence, far from the human condition of our lives and we are one with source.

We have our eyes open in spirit world, both seeing each other in a state of peace with our hearts full of loving source.

In this space I say the Ho'oponopono prayer:  "I am sorry, please forgive me, I love you and I thank you", I also say; “I forgive you, I forgive myself. I know in true spirit essence that you only want good to come to me. I know too that, that is what I want for you.” I then say… “dear spirit, please send your angels to guide and to heal your human form with loving kindness, please assure your human self that I am not against you, I am sending you love and I truly want what is good for all of us. I truly want for each of us to add to the value of each of our lives and I want us all to be valued, appreciated and accepted exactly as we are. Please spirit send this healing intention to your human self.” And I repeat the prayer, "I am sorry, please forgive me, I love you and I thank you",

I visualize this person has joyfully and loving received my words and that all is well. I feel deep within me a knowing that source is providing all that which is to be in perfect and divine order and I feel confident.

Then our spirits return to our bodies.

Afterwards, I celebrate in gratitude that all is as I have asked. I say thank you, thank you, thank you for all of the peace, joy, love and ease in my life. I feel as if I have won the lottery and celebrate with enthusiasm. And I end this walking away… letting it go… in faith that all is well.  

Anytime I have an issue or a feeling triggered, I simply go back and repeat the visualization. Besides, it feels so good to do. This is a great way to raise your vibrational level and in a higher vibration, better things can find you there.
