Today's Meditation - Resolve Family Conflicts
user
By Jane Powell -

“If you have unresolved family conflicts, lay them to rest.”
When it comes to family, we all tend to carry unpleasant memories
with us throughout our lives. If this goes unchanged we can become
bitter and resentful.
If you have deep family issues that are hard to forgive and forget,
make today the day you move forward. Put them behind you and try to
be more positive about the time you have now. You cannot change the
bad things that have happened to you, but you can choose to stop
letting them control you.
Life is too short to carry grudges that separate you from those
people that you want near and dear to your heart.

...let's see, to resolve conflict within a group dynamic, usually the focus is on some kind of goal or result...then again, sometimes people can't figure out why they need to be a selfish, controlling a$$hole and will unconsciously lord over or condescend to others less "important" than them...especially with a group they don't really depend on for their livelihood and who is an easy target...their family.
If you have conflict in your home, it is because you have not learned how to disengage a fighter... Lots of folks are into personal drama because it excites them...they don't exercise and the only "activity" they have is being mean to others... Of course, if someone is actually defending themself from an assault, that may seem like conflict, but again, it is brought on by a drama-pusher...or two or more... Sorry to hear you are having so much difficulty!! Try living right!! Say some prayers together, be kind, be forgiving...learn how to proactivly produce a harmonius aura in your space....geez...it's nearly 2010...get a flippin' clue!!

Oh, I do feng shui, say mantras, do yoga, excercise regularly, don't force myself into situations that are stressful, don't blame others for things I am responsible for, avoid anger and jealousy, look for something nice to say rather than something true, if given the choice...and even when I feel bad, I try to be kind as that's how I would wat others to be...
Be the change you wish to see in the world... good luck...
Try Jesus...or Christ Consciousness...you might just learn something worthy...

I agree with Allee (the others need to do some inner searching on their own as to why they have no empathy for those with bad family conficts). This article is useless - I hear so many people saying "oh they are an adult, they need to get over it or put it behind them." Seriously, when it was something so traumatic that it affects the core of your character and while those that have been victimized by such conflict may be aware of the effect, how do they "put it behind them".

the point is that whatever IT is, IT is behind you so step forward and distance yourself each day, each family opportunity...saying something kind (rather than bitingly true) helps the one who says it as much s the one who hears it...and it sets up a positive vibration in the room/space/world

What about people dealing with something less current. You don't forget or just get past adbandonment and childhoor molestation. This article doesn,t offer sulotions or ways to find piece with that and I excercise. I love to run when angry. I go to church. It doesn't help. So your advice to just get flippin over it is not accurate. It does change the relationship I have with my family the conflict will always be there as long as they don't understand and I can not totally overcome the past.
