Sometimes we feel attacked by people's behavior around us. Our reaction occasionally might be aggressive as this is the desired conditioned behavior keeping up the divide and conquer game.
Sometimes we are even set to fight each other. Of course we all need to check ourselves but at times this is not sufficient. Then the behavior of our opponent needs to stop, especially if it hurts us or others. Then we have to act and mostly we do this on the material plane.
Anyway, additionally we do have possibilities to influence people around us energetically. Sometimes it is rather better to do this first and then to observe the resulting actions. Occasionally we do have to act spontaneously and have to calm the situation retrospectively in an energetic way.
However, now, what can we do? We can try to center ourselves in order to act from wisdom rather than from emotion.
For our opponent we might ask their guardian angel to step behind them provided it is allowed. We can further imagine a golden light around that person in order to enable them to have clear thoughts and finally ask their higher self to remember their divinity and that they are beings with a free will which might be used according to the divine order.
Of course it is not up to us to decide which further path people walk. We do not know whether their path or ours is the right one and we might even be wrong. Anyhow, we can always ask for divine order and observe how things develop without expectation.
Quite often people around us are simply our mirror, or they trigger
wounded spots within us which need to be healed.
