How To Deal With Jealousy

Hello everyone,

Recently during a one-to-one session I was speaking with someone about jealousy and the reason for it.

Jealousy is usually an ineffective attempt to get what we want. If someone has something that we want, but we think we don't have it, the jealous feeling can be an inner objection, like a child becoming upset if it doesn't get its own way, demanding that things change for the better.

But the jealous feeling does not help to shift the universe to accommodate you further in your desire. It has the opposite effect. It closes down your energy and makes you shift towards an inner feeling of "no" towards success, love, riches or anything else that you want. It is essentially resistance towards what you actually want.

The alternative approach is to re-train yourself to start to bless what you want when you see it. If someone is living in the conditions that you would like to live in, see if you can start to appreciate the abundance of it instead of condemning it in any way. This might seem difficult at first if jealousy has any past momentum for you, but it is easier if you take the approach of wanting to feel as good as you possibly can.

Seeing someone get what they want in life can be met with a genuine feeling of "Wow. That's great." If you actually like to see success in any form around you, if you start to appreciate it and love it, your energy starts to shift so that you are in alignment with it yourself. You can tell this is happening because you start to feel better.

Just because someone has something great doesn't mean you can't experience great things too. You might find that the more you bless it with appreciation when you see it, the more you start to experience it for yourself.

In a recent Group Zoom Meeting, someone asked about the feeling of jealousy in relationships - particularly to do with the jealousy she would feel if other women were approaching her partner. I'll share my video response to this soon.
