From: Nina

Maria,

You asked how others are dealing with facing perspectives contrary to
our own.

I try to remember that everyone is stressed. Everyone is doing the
best they can with what they have. I try to take nothing personally.

I, too, find that I can "get drained" when confronted with high
emotions of others, regardless of their viewpoint. Maintaining
awareness of how you "feel", how your body, mind, and spirit are
holding up is important... if you don't feel up to being around that
sort of energy, it is perfectly OK to excuse yourself. Find time to
take care of yourself.

I have found that when I am rested, feeling centered and balanced, I
am much better able to "deal" with the intensity of people trying to
find sense in what they have been presented. I am much better at
listening, letting it all pass through or by me.

Different people have different ways of coping with the turbulence of
what they are dealing with. Again, I remember not to take anything
personally.

I sense you're right about sending positive/healing energy to the
ones who are resisting it. You would be expending a lot of energy
trying to "fix" others. Have you considered sending that energy to
yourself? Another way of taking care of yourself, perhaps.

When I do find myself in the presence of someone who clearly feels a
need to share with me what they feel (and I am feeling "myself"
enough to allow them that), I try to maintain a very even stance...
allow them to vent, be gentle, do not contribute to their fury. Try
finding the conversational common ground, Maria, and build from there.

Nina
