PART TWO:

MOVING BEYOND CONFLICT

By Cynthia Killion

SPIRITUAL TREATMENT FOR MOVING BEYOND CONFLICT

Part 1) Love thy self.

“Love thy neighbor as you love yourself”….

The key words here being “as you love yourself”. You can only love your neighbor to the extent that you love yourself. All true healing starts with Self.

Mentally call upon your Higher Power & your angels to help heal this crisis and any hurt feelings you have as a result of it. Feel your angels’ wings enfolding you. Feel the love of God, Goddess, the One, wrapping itself around you. Just feel yourself totally embraced by love. Feel how much the Universe loves you. Feel how in this very moment, the Universe is supporting you & carrying you through these challenges. Bask in this experience of unconditional love for a moment or two.

Next, from this place of complete unconditional love, begin to send love to yourself . Use positive affirmations to affirm your beauty and worth. Allow your angels to help you in this process of self-love. Ask your angels to show you exactly the right words you need to say to let your vulnerable, child-like self know it is loved. Also, try saying several times, “I love you __________(your name).”

Finally, feel your Higher self emerging from this state of Unconditional love.

This step is very important. Please do not skip it, and do not proceed to any of the other steps until you are able to feel yourself radiating with self-love. The angels have instructed me that it is impossible to truly send love out to others until we can first feel this love within & for ourselves. If need be, repeat this first step several different times before you attempt the others.

Please note: As you are doing this step, it is likely to bring up childhood issues about conflict & conflict resolution. It will probably also bring to your attention all your fears about the situation.

For me, this meant facing my fear of conflict in general. It also meant facing my fear & association of physical violence with conflict, for this is how conflict was often resolved in my family & neighborhood growing up. During this meditation, the angels were able to reassure me that just because there is conflict going on around me, I do not necessarily have to fear for my life or my physical safety, nor do I have to see physical aggression as a necessary part of conflict

Part 2) Love the people whom you perceive to be “victimized” here.

Now that you are enfolded in the spirit of love, love your neighbor.

The next step is to send love & healing energy to the people whom you perceive to be victims here. Very often, this is ourselves, so if you feel the need to send additional healing & love energy out to yourself again, by all mean do so. Otherwise, proceed directly to send love & healing energy to the other people involved whom you also perceive to be “victims”.

Go through the same process as you did for yourself.

Step A: Call in the Higher Power & their angels to surround them. Feel them engulfed in the love of all Creation.

Step B: Send loving energy to them from your heart. Use affirmations to affirm their beauty, good & worth. Say “I love you _____________.”

Step C: Recognize & affirm that their Higher Self is present, and is now managing the situation.

If you get “stuck” in any of these steps, then ask the Angels for help. Proceed to Part 3 when you are finished.

Part 3) Love your “enemies”, do good to those who hate you. Whoever is without sin be the first to cast the stoneJudge Not, Less Ye be Judged. What you are really doing here is healing the PERCEPTION of “enemies”.

This next part may sound hard, and ordinarily, it is, except that if you have followed the above steps, you will probably be able to do it easily & effortlessly. It’s as if all the steps that came before are a kind of emotional “lubricant” to prepare you to do what must really be done, which is to love & bless those you view as the “attackers” or “enemies”.

So now you go through the same steps again as you did in Parts 1 & 2. Except now you are to send love & healing energy out to those people whom you view as the aggressors in this situation. Yes, this is a necessary step. Don’t try to skip it unless you truly aren’t interested in healing.

Remember to do the steps in order, first seeing the person surrounding with the Angelic & Universal love, then sending them love from your own heart, then recognizing & honoring his or her Higher Self.

Again, if you get stuck on any of the steps, ask the Angels & your Higher Power for assistance. If you find that you are still too hurt or angry to send love to this person, then just go back to focusing on seeing him or her surrounded in Universal & Angelic love.

If at all possible, say out loud several times, “I love you _________”. (Make sure you use his or her name, because this will help reinforce the action of love on a soul level.)

Proceed to the 4^th and final part of this meditation.

Part 4) Healing the Community

~In the Christ Consciousness, we who are many form one body, and each member belongs all to the others~

In this final part, bring to mind the household, family, business, or community that you perceive to have been disturbed by this conflict. Feel this entire community surrounded in the love of God/Goddess/The Holy One. See angels literally embracing & enfolding each and every person in this community. Include each & every person in this vision of Unconditional love, even those members of the community whom you feel were “aggressors” or “attackers”.

After you can feel the community cradled in the arms of God, begin to send out love from your own heart to this community. Do not exclude any one from your love. Again, if you find yourself having difficulties channeling love towards a particular person or group, then just allow yourself to be engulfed in the Higher Power’s love for this person.

Finally, recognize the Higher Self of this community, and acknowledge that this Higher Spirit is moving through each & every person involved to create healing, balance, harmony, and peace.

Repeat this meditation as many times as you need to. You will find a shift happening within you after just one session of it. Although my description is a bit detailed & lengthy, it doesn’t have to take too long to complete the actual meditation. I find that 5-10 minutes is sufficient; sometimes even less once you become more familiar with the steps.

I hope this blesses & helps you. Please remember that I love you, and the Universe loves you. Love yourself!

Many Blessings,

Cynthia Killion
