It is when you are in challenging situations that you are most likely to give away your power by communicating from a choice of dominance or meekness.

How can you stay in your power and communicate with compassion, especially with someone who brings out all the rage in your life?

The choice of communication

If you cannot express your truth without either:

• Determinedly repeating your point without shifting a perspective, basically forcing your opinion on another, or 
• Shutting down until you explode in over-emotional rage

then you want to train your inner emotional landscape for greater empathy, especially in challenging situations. 

The truthful option that keeps you in your power is the perspective that holds empathy and compassion for everyone in the conversation and can shift your own perspective to say what is appropriate at that time. 

Is the Truth Fixed or Changing?

When your truth has become fixed and unchanging, it can be forceful upon others. The forceful energy of 'trying' and 'making' things happen a certain way is closed, limited and disconnected. 

In manifesting this is seen when your approach is a set outcome with a specific process, you have limited your options for possibilities greater than your imagined outcome to be received in your life. When you let go of the how, when and what the Universe can bless you with amazing delights! 

This is the same for truth. To always be open to truth is different from what was once perceived. How can a truth shift? In the way that science is always uncovering new aspects of what we perceived as fixed, open curiosity empowers greater truth to be revealed. 

If you notice you have become fixed in truth - it is time to release and listen to another. This can bring valuable new insightful discoveries. 

Stay Compassionate to You and Others

Two of the largest practices for compassion are towards yourself and someone that triggers your greatest wounds of hate and fear - these are really your biggest inner-self criticism.

When you feel that disconnect from someone triggering you, it is important to choose to LISTEN!

The way to do this is to ask questions, reflect your understanding, and connect with the feelings and fears that are in their words to see what you can relate to for your own healing. 

Your Choice to Agree

Agreement of common ground with feelings, fears or our common humanity ensures that you keep your compassion towards yourself open. It also provides the possibility for you to see a new perspective on your own fears or aversions. 

This shows respect to another even in disagreement, but also to your own inner shadow. 

You can choose to find how to treat that person more kindly whilst holding the same for yourself. This is compassion in action. When they feel our compassion it can soften a 'cold' heart to find common ground and shift the dynamics of the conversation.
