Psychic Immune System

Our physical immune system protects us from pathogens while our psychic, or spiritual, immune system protects us from negativity. The difference between the two is that our physical immune system can work on its own. We don't need to tell our cells that we have been infected; most of the time they know before we are even aware that there is a foreign element present. However, our spiritual immune system requires a great deal of presence. It's only when we dive into ourselves and become present are we able to strengthen our psychic immune system and let it not be affected by negativity.

Eckhart Tolle describes this in The Power of Now, "[The] psychic immune system...protects you from the negative mental-emotional force field of others, which are highly contagious. Inhabiting the body protects you not by putting up a shield, but by raising the frequency vibration of your total energy field, so that anything that vibrates at a lower frequency, such as fear, anger, depression, and so on, now exists in what is virtually a different order of reality." (pg.124)

I'm sure that many of you can relate to this. How many times have you had a conversation with someone and all of a sudden just ended up in a bad mood even though when you started the conversation you were pleasant? Or have you noticed that when you were in a bad mood it affected the mood of someone close to you? The energies that we emit from our within affect not only ourselves but also the people around us, especially the people that are close to us. In this day and age it so easy to get bogged down by the constant negativity that lingers around us as a collective people. With everything going on in the world from violence to politics to finance and everything in between the levels of anger and depression have risen to an unbelievable high. The more people that feel this way the more it affects us all! Taking a step back and looking within is such a small step that can open a new world of possibilities. When we are centered within yourself then it becomes easy to not let the negativity of the world affect us. You will begin to see the brighter side of things. Conversations with people that once made you angry will not affect you anymore. I'm not saying that there won't be things that upset you, but you will express them better so as to not feed the negativity anymore. If we all did this the collective negativity wouldn't exist and therefore no one could affect us but ourselves. We would be in full control because there would be no negativity to draw us away from our consciousness.

In you interactions with people, especially those that you know trigger a negative response, be very present. Don't let their negativity affect you. By dismissing the negativity you not only help your self but, also help them! Be the best that you can be and see how easy it is not let the collective negativity bring you down!

With Joy & Peace
