Tolerance
ByWell, guess what I saw again this Friday, another filming crew … they were shooting some show with apparently some celebrity in it, it was in Valencia center many people around to see. I didn’t see the camera but I saw the huge microphone, this is interesting because I came in the town to buy a microphone to record my podcasts.
Manifesting and creating is not what I want to talk about today. I want to talk about tolerance and challenge while opening the heart chakra this is partially an answer to Alizee question.
When you open the heart chakra, you should not except your life to become an overnight fairytale although some events will look magic to you, so called “bad” events will happen because they are simply part of life, now, we label “bad” some of the lessons we don’t like.
Many of us, have to learn about tolerance, your learn about unconditional love by putting yourself in situations that challenge your ability to be loving.
If you do re-act in an unloving way to unloving people, you are going to get more of that to you. Because, you are focusing on that negative aspects you perceive in them. What you focus on you get.
“Smiling inwardly when people do things that used to upset you, sending them a warm blessing or thought of love, frees you from being affected by their behavior. The quality of tolerance is the ability to stay calm and unruffled no matter what happens, to allow people to be themselves and make their own mistakes.” Orin

Nice post!
Staying in the Compassionate, unconditional love state of mind, is the trick to get along well with people.
In my personal experience, I found it less easy to do that, after I had worked on my solar plexus chakra, because I started to see peoples attacks and vamping more clearly.
Now, I´m reclaiming that state of love&tolerance, by (re)opening my heart.
You can only love your neighbor as much as you can love yourself, so accept and love yourself first, then take this outwards.
be well, all of you!

Yes, it is all about [automatic] reactions… and after all the experiences are just a reflection of inner belief systems.
However I would not use the word “tolerance” which I consider to be rather an insult. It is only judgment which is not followed by some punishment. So tolerance is not an evolved state of being. What is needed is acceptance - of oneself and thereby of the “others”. But this of course is somewhat more difficult to reach than tolerance.

@Jasper, try to be without judgement,of course, if an upsetting situation comes at you, you will feel the anger. But try to observe the anger….You are not your body. Anger is a body thing it is a chemical reaction, moods are chemicals reaction. By getting back in the Observer mode, you are yourself and you can observe that anger and outside condition without being affected by them.
@Balbina, thanks for your viewpoint on tolerance. I never looked at it that way.
