Embracing Spiritual Resilience: Navigating Professional Jealousy and Rising Above
Recently, I was made aware of some professional jealousy targeting me. I wouldn’t call it a full-on psychic attack, but close. I have a tough hide and keep myself energetically well-protected, so I took it in stride, and it still bothered me as the day went on. I have had some amazing opportunities in the last six months to be a more public spiritual teacher that are allowing me to grow my spiritual business in ways I never imagined. When I decided to fully come out of the woo-woo closet more publicly, I knew I wouldn’t be for everyone. There would be some slings and arrows by skeptics, and people who just didn’t vibe with my philosophy and teachings. That’s okay. We are a world of varied and wonderful individuals with varied and wonderful interests.
I believe there is room for all spiritual viewpoints whether I agree with them or not. Live and let live so to speak. There’s an audience for everyone. I did let my anger flare a bit. I knew it also went deeper than that because anger is just the layer that sits on top of other unresolved emotional feelings. As I often do because words are my playground, I journaled about it this morning to see if I could work through what I was feeling. I found layers of hurt, indignation, and sadness under that anger. My angels and light team chimed in. “Write about it. It will be cathartic.” Next question to them is, “Do I post it?” I clairaudiently heard an enthusiastic, “Most definitely.”
There is a lot of overlap in the spiritual teaching world. Universal truths are Universal truths. The filter of our own experiences and downloads is what makes the difference in how they are presented. We will vibe with the philosophy and person who matches us vibrationally even if we’re not consciously aware of it. Our Higher Self, angels and light team will gently and sometimes not so gently guide us for our highest good. I love what I do. I’ve been a student of woo-woo topics my whole life, and a spiritual teacher/healer whether it was one-on-one or in front of a large group.
Years ago, one of my own mentors told me, “When the student is ready the teacher appears.” Also in the inverse, “When the teacher is ready the student appears.” I trust that the person who tossed that professional jealousy my way was my teacher in that moment. So, I’ll send them gratitude, love and forgiveness. Yes, forgiveness because holding on to any anger and resentment only hurts and stifles me. My fervent wish is to share everything I know and have learned, inspire by example and word, and bring humor, heart and joy to the ones I am honored to meet and connect with. I want to continue and grow to be the Light on the Path that brings joy at the speed of light and love to everyone I meet.
Blessings of joy to you!
Love, Joanie
