DEALING WITH AWKWARDNESS IN COMPANY ( PART 2 OF 2)


An ‘awkward bunny’ had joined us, hidden under the table, when Richard and I had a tea with Peter and Nicole.  ( read about this visit in part I).
I was determined to find ways of setting the bunny free from that awkward position. Bunnies are much happier in freedom, aren’t they? And I am much happier when I can move freely too!

It must be possible for me to influence the energy flow in a good way, whenever I am aware of the presence of such an ‘awkward’ bunny hiding under the table.  Wouldn’t it be nice to do that in a way that is enjoyable, uncomplicated and true to myself, with respect for others?

I talked with Richard about it and we found two interesting directions to look at:
  • What we send out as individuals and
  • What we send out as a twin flame couple


How can I, personally, shine a light on the bunny, without scaring it to death?

I asked Richard for some input on the matter, especially since I am very much aware of some cultural differences between the Dutch and the English.  I don’t want to offend English people with something that would be considered acceptable among Dutch people.

Would I be curious and brave enough to use a direct approach in exposing the bunny to the full light of my attention? It can be interesting to see what happens if I drag the bunny by its ears from underneath the table and shout happily:”Look what I’ve found! A scary bunny! Isn’t it interesting? ”.

It is probably fun and it sure will get things moving. Just imagine how people usually react when an excited child drags the interesting creepy crawly creature he has found into the living room...... (WHOEEEAAAAHHHHH!) ......

But, do I really want to throw a full beam of my attention to the awkwardness?  Do I assume that bunnies move in any direction, being blinded by bright light?
It’s more likely, based on my experience, that the ‘issue’ becomes more awkward. I know that  whatever it is I put my attention on grows!
I have felt the awkwardness myself and didn’t really enjoy feeling it in a this amount, let alone if it gets intensified!

This is pointing to a more sensible approach to move in the desired direction.
What would happen if I highlight something else with my full attention in acknowledging and appreciating the loving and connecting feelings......?

In the case of Nicole I could have mentioned that I could tell that she was really fond of Richards former partner, in a calm and accepting manner. Changes are that such a positive message, responding to the heartfelt needs,  would have made a real difference to the dynamics of the whole visit.

How do we, as a twin flame couple, influence the dynamics with other people?

Richard came up with another interesting angle. He mentioned how he has noticed that we seem to amplify our energy, being twin flames. If we feel good and at ease, all the people around us suddenly start smiling like there is no tomorrow. If we feel not completely at ease for some reason, it bounces back to us with twice the impact, so it seems.

It’s a wonderful mechanism, this amplifying mirror effect of twin flames.
It helps us both to gain insights on own state of being influences the events that take place in our lives.  
With the amplifying twin flame effect in mind we decided to add an extra pinch of extra awareness on our energy household, before engaging in a social event!

Do we feel like ‘awkward bunnies’? Then we will probably encounter some more of those.
Unless of course, if we sort that out first. If any of us feels the presence of a scary bunny, we now have a plan to set the bunny free. That plan is to show in a gentle way that everything that is needed to move freely, is present, right now.
