Hiya Maria:
I understand what you are trying to do, using the Mirror of all that is
to love the shadow, and see yourself reflected in others. this is indeed a
road to compassion, and consciousness expansion.
The visualization method that you are using, is tiring because it is,
as you say, a projection. You are projecting the image of yourself onto
them, instead of seeing yourself reflected in them, or seeing the Divine in
them. Do you understand the distinction? One is active and the other is
passive.
Doing the meditation the way you are, is tiring for several reasons.
One is that by projecting yourself onto them in that way, with your
judgments you are being aggressive with your energy. On a subtle
unconscious level you are getting into an argument with their boundaries
and how they see themselves. It is almost like you are transporting
yourself into them, in your imagination. This is invasive, and it also
means that you end up taking on a lot of their karma, emotional energy,
etc. Empathy.
Empathy is a good way to build compassion, but the work can be tiring,
especially if you are not sure where it is coming from, or what is the
trigger for it.
Make a slight shift in your visualization. You and they are One through
your heart. So, look at the reflection of them in your heart, where they
really are a part of you, instead of projecting it outwards onto the actual
person.
Examine your judgments about them, as really being about you, the
shadow work is important.. but balance it by also looking for the Divine in
them. The meaning of "Namaste", the Divine in me greets the Divine in you.
We are all manifestations of the One spark.
On a day to day level, think of the visualization differently. Not that
you are them, but that they reflect who you are.
One way to really get to know your projections in a hurry, is to
imagine that the inside of the outer shell of your aura has a mirrored tint
to it, coded to reflect your projections back to you. Some people use a
pink bubble mirrored on the outside to reflect peoples projections back as
love, as a protective device. This is similar, but the mirror is on the inside.
Somewhere along the line it came to be nicknamed an "ugly mirror
teacup", possibly because on rare occasions I have projected one to
restrain someone who is using manipulative magic. Trapping them like a wasp
under a glass, into a place where all of their magical or karmic acts will
bounce back at them before reaching anyone else. It protects other people
and hopefully serves as an abrupt educational experience for the one I put
it on.
Kind of cruel, kind of neutral, depends on what they are up to, and
what fear motivates you to project it. If you try it you will find out
quick, because anything you do to another you do to yourself. You will be
under a teacup too, for as long as you are holding someone else in one. I
don't recommend trying it for more than a few days at a time.
Hope that helps... Blessings.
