What I Do With The Pain I Feel When People I LOVE Are Suffering…

July 9, 2023
Mandy Perry

Anytime I ever felt pain because someone I love is suffering… I would get this power surge through me to show up big in life and make their lives better…

And I did amazing things.
I also always felt like it was never enough.

I was headed in the right direction but that was loaded with co-dependency…

Here’s the shift:
Now, I go deep within.
I sit with the part of me panicking and wanting to fix it all for them and love her until she calms down and goes to play.

Then I reset myself.
“What am I doing to take extraordinary care of myself so that I can be spacious for them?”

So I can have SPACE FOR WHO THEY ARE.
So I can reflect their greatness back to them instead of sharing my concern or “helping”.
So I can be a light energy for them, not a heavy worried energy.
So I can send protection and powerful energy to them.

Loads of self-care and self-soothing.
Ground.
Shift into Love.

What a different life!!

I still cry and hurt… but I find peace shortly after and get to LOVE big instead of rescue.

My Conversation with Thich Nhat Hanh

What?! You mean… compassion for others includes the woman lying and hurting the man I love? It includes compassion for her?
That’s easy for you to say.
You don’t have a wife or kids that you love like I love them.
What’s that you say?
That’s how you love EVERYTHING? All humans? All animals and sentient beings?

Not My Place To Get Someone To See the “Truth”…

For as long as I can remember I have always felt responsible for helping others see the things that they cannot see… the boyfriend on drugs, the way they are being taken advantage of, the abuse happening…
I have always suffered deeply to see anyone else suffering ESPECIALLY when I can see a way for their suffering to end!
This is what drove me so hard to break out of all of the abuse I was experiencing, go to school for 10 years while working and being a single mother with almost zero child support, start my business and make my first Mill in 2 years… THAT is a lot of drive, and it ALL came from MY WANTING TO END OTHERS SUFFERING.

What I Resist, I Empower

I see this belief lately that “standing for a world where race & religion do not matter is naive.”
(And abusive)
It’s popped up a number of times in my feed and then once now in my own life.
”It’s exclusive and doesn’t account for all the biases happening today. Anyone who believes this only believes it because they don’t get it. They aren’t the ones experiencing the racism, sexism or etc.”
I understand the basis of this.

Someone Told Me “You are not as enlightened as you think you are.”

And I wondered what that meant? What an unusual statement?
I realized that there’s a whole entire culture referred to as “woke” which couldn’t possibly believe more differently than my mentors who are considered “enlightened”. Which was she referring to?
And I chuckled.
I’m definitely not either…
Talk about a wild time to exist looking to find your way to a life full of joy and peace!

Meditation Breakthrough

New one hour meditations….
I’m beginning to see what’s underneath all the crap….
I’m wildly resisting the reality of what’s happening to people and animals in the world… It feels like it cracks my brain and will burry me to accept it.

I Was Being A Hypocrite

Sometimes we expect people to handle things even better than we are capable of handling them simply because society would agree that’s how it should be handled.
But that’s still hypocrisy…
Just because we can make the best argument for that being how it should have been handled… (womennnnnn lol)
