How many of us use that word on occasion without considering whether we have the right to make a decision for someone else? Excellent guidance for us all.

Let’s consider the nature of the people who let us use that method of coercion on them. Do they come to us asking for help or guidance or just feedback to help them decide? Maybe just a fresh viewpoint?

Are they drawnn to the person whom they feel they can trust or is it that they sense that we would say “You ‘should’ do it this way”?

Thank you for this. This is a wonderful and very useful blog.

Joyce, I have come across the same sort of imperialistic attitude from people here because I am far from main stream. I refuse to classify myself as any political party or religion. You won’t believe how many times I get approached just jogging in my neighborhood and asked if I’m saved and get invitations to church. When I say, well thank you but that is not my faith, they continue with probing questions which I find very invasive. What I find even more hilarious, is that none of my Muslim , Buddhist, or other faith friends would do that to ANYBODY! Yet, these people that approach me would do what they can to denounce the faith of those that respect them. Of course, I have pushed back a couple of times and gotten the “Well, I’ll be praying for you…” something nice to say, but it is laced with venom.

100% of people worldwide are sent psychic coercion. In America, the amount of coercion is especially strong if you live outside mainstream values in any way.

I think that the aspect of psychic coercion is overlooked mostly because the effects of it show in auras primarily. Otherwise, it’s hard to distinguish the misery caused by coercion with other problems like trying to find one’s identity, gain more self-confidence, overcome addictions, etc.

Although everyone receives this coercion, everyone does not have to be a victim to it. You can learn to remove it, neutralize any contributing vulnerability patterns, and keep your aura clear in that way.

One thing everyone reading this can take immediately from this conversation is to avoid using the word SHOULD and become very clear about not telling anyone else how to live or think etc.

The way I see it, one has the right to voice an opinion or give advice to a person exactly once, to that person’s face, as directly and politely as possible. Beyond that, one has zero right to talk about, gossip about, or “pray” about how another should live.

The exception is if one is raising a child up to the age of 18. Even then, it’s vital to draw a line between what is legitimate as a should (e.g., “Finish high school”) vs. a personal whim which one has no right to insist upon (e.g., “You should wear your hair in my favorite style.”

I wonder why most explanations of “free will” do not include a discussion of toxic prayer or psychic coercion.

It has to be the height of ego or self-love that would lead someone to think they know what is good for me or you or anyone, since most don’t really know what’s best for themselves. They frequently make bad choices for themselves but feel qualified to make choices for me. A huge invasion of privacy.

They feel to pray for the Jews to recive communion or Muslims to discover Jesus, ignore the Buddhist presence and complain if the Maharaji followers approach them in their white robes or other garments.

It’s the same thing in Colorado when the Rainbow followers come to summer camp in the ‘Rockies and they take a tiny teddy bear and clip it to you somewhere on your body without asking first. It’s cute. So most people accept it, not realizing why it’s being done.

You would set this up as an Aura Transformation session, then meet with me by appointment by phone. To do this, you’d begin with this link: http://www.rose-rosetree.com/orderfa.htm

Doing this form of healing can be life-changing. You can use the skill set for keeping your aura clear of this type of astral debris (a.k.a. STUFF) and also facilitate healing for your family members, friends, healing clients, etc.

Although, of course, you would ask permission first!

Beware toxic prayer, where people sit together — perhaps with very good intentions but lack of knowledge of spiritual law — “praying” for people to accept their version of God or religion, “praying” for people to change their God-given sexual orientation, “praying” for people to stop thinking and start agreeing with them.

If you have anyone praying for you, I would recommend that you ask exactly what this person is doing. Anything other than sending love or light — no strings attached — is probably a coercive prayer.

In that case, I recommend you find the most polite way possible to say, “If you care about me, honor my request and stop praying for me.”

I agree wholehaertedly to your comments about the violation of personal space being committed on others’ personal emotions.

A spiritual invasion of their aura is so horrific that it makes me shudder to think why anyone would do that without permission. It’s a do-gooder attitude based on the assumption that she knows what is good for someone else and is willing to intercede based on her idea of what’s right.

Most responses to anything are to show us what we think or feel about any issue, and should be examined by ourselves first to see what it is that we are reacting to and if we still believe in that idea or concept.

Frequently it is a mirror showing us that we have an attitude or situation that is causing us a problem, and we should examine our reasons for holding on to our viewpoint.

Your website gives us a chance to do just that. IF we are open to other ideas, viewpoints and suggestions, we can work on our own impresions of truth at our current level of understanding and improve our own enjoyment of our lives.

Letting go and let it be are still good principles to keep in mind.

Thanks for this page. I’m relieved to discover you agree with the sanctity of personal space.

It’s the same for people who say, “I will pray for you” How do they know what’s good for me???

Even if they are just praying for my comfort or happinesss, I may need the disturbance that makes me learn another way of seeing it. It’s not their decision to make.
