Difficulties in the Workplace

Archangel Raphael as facilitated by Jeane R. Pothier for the April 2008 issue of Cosmic Lighthouse.

A Cosmic Lighthouse reader asks:

In my current job, I am trying my best and giving it my all. However, my workplace is full of politics and somehow I was dragged in even though I did not intend to be so. There are others who also speak ill of me. How can I rise above all this chaos and be the best in whatever that I am doing? I am also considering the possibility of changing my job.

I AM Raphael, Angel of Healing and Transformation and I delight in being here with you now. I come forward at this time, in this moment, in a new energy and I am so very pleased to share this energy with you. I ask that you simply take a moment and breathe deeply and allow yourself to receive the love and compassion that is here for you, now and always. You are truly never alone.

Dear one, you are a bright and shining light in the midst of chaos and for a while you will even attract this chaos swirling all around you. It is the nature of the energies right now that make it appear that somehow you are to blame or at fault or just plain wrong in some way that this is occurring around you and pulling you in against your will. I come to you now to say that none of that is correct!

As one who carries a brighter light, shining with a greater purity of vibration and frequency, you will be attracting those who are not feeling so good about themselves or their lives. You will be attracting those who are seeking answers, seeking to feel good about something, anything in their life and they are automatically guided to be around you. Being around you helps them to feel better.

It is the nature of the lover vibrational energies, even the dark energies, to gravitate to a higher frequency of light and love. Even while those humans who are carrying this lower vibrational energy may not necessarily be aware of what is happening, this will be the case. And this is very much apparent in one’s workplace.

In every workplace in the world right now there are those who are taking out their fears and frustrations out on others, especially on those they surround themselves with on a day to day basis. There is a massive human desire now to be of a higher vibration and when one is not aware of what it takes to embody more light then there is an automatic reaction that takes place between those of the lower vibrations and those of the higher vibrations.

There is a dynamic of energy at work here that consists of giving another person one’s own pain and sorrow energies that are uncomfortable and of that lower vibration. And when those energies are given to another, then the first person feels better.

The first person feels lighter as though they have shed a burden and they will walk away from the encounter without a second thought as to what may have occurred. The one who has been the receiver of the burden though, feels worse, feels at fault, feels that they’ve done something wrong, and generally feels buried by feelings that don’t even belong to them! And even more so, the receiver of these lower vibrational energies feels like there is chaos around them because their own energies have essentially been disrupted by the influx of these lower vibrational energies because of the vibrational mis-match!

There are even those humans who try to create opportunities of trauma and drama simply to facilitate this pushing off of their uncomfortable energies because there are so many humans who will automatically take on these burdens without a second thought!

And dear one, you of the bright and glowing light, find that you are on the receiving end of this type of dumping of energies, as it were, and wonder what to do about it.

There are some key things involved here and the main purpose is to take care of you and no one else where you are working and in your life in general. Each person is responsible for their own choices and their own path. For you, this moment is about how to take care of yourself and still do the work that you are desiring to do, to make a living without giving up part of yourself or having to be a part of this type of chaos in the process. To be the divine expression of who you are without feeling as though you have to suffer in the process.

There are some things to keep in mind that will perhaps help you to be more distanced and less affected by what is occurring. I ask you to breathe in each point presented here and see how it feels to you. Also, begin to perceive for yourself how you might utilize these points in your situation so that you can be more at peace and productive should you decide to remain working where you do.

The first and most important thing to remember in your interactions with others that are uncomfortable or difficult for you is that none of the energies coming at you is about you! The clearest way to state is would be to say that none of what is occurring is personal, even while it may feel personal and even be directed at you at times. Yes, dear one, I know that it feels personal to you because you are greatly empathic and you perceive the foundation of what these energies are about. Yet it is important to keep in mind that what you are perceiving is what another human is putting on you, not something that you yourself are creating.
The second point to keep in mind is that when this is happening you always have the choice of how much you participate, and even if you participate at all in this dynamic, i.e. whether you take on these energies or not. What this means is that when you are aware that energies are coming to you that don’t belong to you, you do not need to take them on. As you become more and more aware of your own sovereignty and what truly makes up the person that you are, you will more easily be able to tell when something that you are feeling is not part of your core identity.
Which brings us to the final point. When you make a choice to not take on the energies around you that are being dumped upon you, the quickest and easiest way to “get yourself out” is to remind yourself of who you truly are. And the way this is done is by saying to yourself, or even out loud if you prefer to hear the words themselves, “I AM THAT I AM.” This is a reminder to yourself that you are of the light, that you are a divine human, that you have your own energies and your own identity, that it’s not your job to take on the burdens of another and you are making a choice to be true to yourself.

It is being true to yourself that is the underlying foundation for your life dear one. You will always have those around you who want you to be someone else, or to do things that you may not wish to do yet don’t know how to say no to doing. You will always find yourself in situations where you are being asked to make a choice of doing one thing or another.

And when you are true to yourself, regardless of what another person is trying to put upon you, then you will find that your way is more clear, your work is more fun, and you are less and less burdened by these unwanted energies and your choices are clear and easy. It truly begins with you dear one, and the more you are able to love and cherish that inner core foundational energy that is who you truly are, the easier your life will become.

If you do nothing else in your life my friend, take time each day to be true to you in some way, in some expression that is yours alone. Honor yourself by this. Honor yourself by acknowledging that you are a bright and shining star and deserve to have a grand life. Put your arms around yourself and enjoy a warm hug, telling yourself that you are loved and are worthy of being loved. This my friend, is your true job.

How you feel about yourself dear one, will impact every area of your life. When you know within yourself that you are making a choice to cease experiencing the chaos and politics at your workplace, then they will cease to affect you. Oh, they won’t necessarily go away, yet you may find that you can stand by and listen and have no thoughts about any of it! It will cease to have an effect on you because you are choosing to not take it on as being any part of yours or anything that you need to experience. When you do not take on an energy that doesn’t belong to you, then it will not affect you!

So dear one, breathe in these energies this day and give yourself permission to make some new choices. Make those choices that are empowering of you, the inner divine human. Make those choices that bring you the peace of mind and heart where you work. The more you allow yourself to take care of you, the easier life will flow. And even those uncomfortable energies that gravitate towards you because of your bright and shining light will find that it’s not necessary to push their energies upon you so that they feel better. As you slowly cease taking on these energies you will find that they do not so much come to you to do this anymore.

And should you find that in spite of everything you do not feel comfortable and supported where you work, then give yourself the opportunity to make a new choice for a new job. And in making that choice, also make the choice to find a place to work that will be supportive and even great fun for you! You can do this dear one, for you are the creator of your own life.

I AM Raphael and it is a pleasure to be here with you again in this way. I encourage all of you who read these words and breathe in this energy to remember that you are a being of infinite love. Take time to tell yourself that you are loved, that you are worthy. Take time to love yourself in everything that you do, and in the expression of who you are in your life, for you are loved beyond imagining in all the other realms!

And let no other human tell you differently. Let no one tell you that there is something wrong with you, that you are not worthy, that you are a bad person. For this would be a lie. I say to you now, in this grand and glorious moment, that you are beautiful and wonderful and I am greatly proud of all that you are doing and allowing in your life. Be as proud of yourself and honor who you are. It all begins with you my friend, and as you change yourself you are changing the world.

We are complete.
