I want to share with you a little bit about sibling rivalry, which happens to be a topic close to my ego heart.  I thought I would do a release for those who feel that kind of rivalry within your family.  

Sometimes it is because we feel our parents have given that person, brother or sister, more attention somehow (perhaps you were first born and then suddenly all the attention went to this other baby), or we’ve overheard comments regarding something about their skills and talents, and we have interpreted all sorts of things from our parents about that and how they might like that person better than me.  Or the parents have been protective of that person or a little worried that you might harm the baby or wouldn't be as cautious and of course you would just be a child at that time so it was not without reason, but still it gives us the sense that there is some energy disruption about how we feel about ourselves.   Sometimes parents have made somebody in the family really special; they really acknowledged a special talent and there is nothing really wrong with that either, but when we are standing on the outside of it, we can really feel a lot of feelings about it. 

I‘m wondering if you can allow yourself to open to any feelings that you might have about sibling rivalry?

It is interesting because one of the things that might come up is the feeling of jealousy!  Just open as best you can to that feeling of jealousy; that sense of amazing tightness that can occur in the body when we feel that.  And in order to feel that more openly and without a lot of sense that I have to do something about it, I would invite you to really breathe and really ground yourself right now; breathing through your feet and up through your head – and really ground yourself in this present moment where there are no siblings around and there isn’t really a threat in this moment; and that everything here is just fine.

Just allow yourself as best you can open to that feeling of jealousy.  And if it wants to be just as tight as a knot, could you just let it?  Could you let it tighten and contract and feel however it does within the body and just continue to breathe and to really be open to doing nothing but observing it? 

Feel just how contracted and how contracted and how pulled in that feeling can be.  It is quite powerful.  And see if it begins to open some thoughts to you that in that jealousy sometimes we really, really want to compete!  So it can be at the root of our competitive behaviours, and can be also the roots of really wanting to destroy the other and you might even feel that with co-workers and colleagues because we have learned it in childhood somehow in our energy patterns.

We are NOT the actual feeling!  It is so important to recognize that.  So many of our behaviours can come from being rooted in the jealousy feeling, and yet we are not that feeling!  Because of that, we can feel so guilty and shameful because we are really not used to it just being a feeling! 

So just allow yourself to feel the jealousy as a sensation and let it be tight – let it do what it does, and just breathe and begin to notice that it will dissolve and it will eventually become easier and easier to see as just a feeling, and that the very roots of the behaviours and ideas that keep you from what could be your loved ones, really do not hold any water – that you are free – you are free and perfect just the way you are!
