PS
The secret is to view negative situations and life conditions as a positive opportunity for change.
When one views everything this way, it is easy to become the observer of the negative emotion that you feel, then you can process and find the root cause of the core issue being triggered.
Detachment is the key to transcension.
Onwards and upwards teaching your soul to fly divine!

eeeeewwww....no...I don't think of this person was attracted to my soul...they came as bagage with someone else....
For you to have such powerful feelings of negativity towards her
it's not my 'negative feelings' it's more my reaction to their negative attidude...& no, thats not me refusing to accept resonsibility...I have looked at this situation at all angles for 10 long years beleive me...I could right a whole story about it..but yuk...past is past...I can laugh about it now when I remember things done & said (the icing on the cake was when my kids safty was put at risk)....I was only using it as an example as truley it is one person I dislike...& yes...descernment & distachment & my freedom to do so...I just wondered about the like attracks like....scary thought when you think of some people out there...but we come in all sorts of different shaps & sizes & thats what makes us sssssssssooooooooo wonderful;)

Sometimes we can deal with people and sometimes we just can't... I met someone years ago, worked with her... absolutely disliked her with a passion, although she was a pleasant lady and had done nothing toward me or anyone else... never got to the bottom of that one. Another woman years later had a karmic debt with me which I had to face and work out with her. We did that, but I took a dislike to her as a person in this life... oy vey! 😀
With the person you mention, you can send healing their way without making an attachment at all. As Kim suggested, you can detach yourself from the memory and with compassion in your heart and no judgement toward their actions but love for their soul/God Within, ask that healing be sent their way for them to receive as and when they will. Then let them go, like a feather blowing away... and they will just be another person, nothing to move you one way or another.
And on that note, I'm off to do the exact same thing for the ladies I mentioned above! 😀

Hi Amy
This is an interesting subject - I have enjoyed reading all the messages here. It made me think about the whole theory of like attracting like. Personally I don't believe we attract certain kinds of people because we are like them but I think that people come into our lives so that we can learn something from the experiences we have with them (good or bad!)
Whether consiously or subconsiously, I feel people are sometimes drawn to others because of a lacking in themselves, they meet someone who has qualities they would like to have or develop in themselves so they are drawn to them. For instance, they might feel they'd like to be more sociable so they will choose to spend time with very sociable people. Or want to be more motivated, so they will spend time with motivated people.
Sometimes people are drawn to someone they feel can satisfy a need in themselves - this could be a need to control, patronise or one of the many other very negative needs. Hopefully we would learn how to protect ourselves from this.
I can't think of any more examples at the moment but there are millions of reasons why someone would be drawn to another person.
Its true though that we will notice things about someone because we do exactly the same or similar things, and this could either irritate us or please us but either way it gets us to look at ourselves!
This is just my view based on my own experiences with people over the years.

If we hold any negative feelings towards anyone it means that we have a heart blockage due to unforgiveness and anti-love. The heart is for giving, an open heart is a giving heart. There will also be a blockage in the third eye due to judgement.

1. This is very true until such time as one has healed the needs of human self within, once this is acheived one does not attract needy people into one's inner sanctum of peace because one is no longer coming from need.
2. Interesting perspective protecting oneself from one own's soul and the cosmic law of attraction, the best protection is to heal it. Hard to stop an apple falling off a tree unless you catch it - it is the law of gravity, trying to stop the law of attraction is like trying to stop the ocean waves landing on the beach or trying to stop a storm and the rain falling down.
What resists persists! If we are not ready to deal with it now it will come again from another direction, another person in a different time and place. There is no escaping our own issues no matter how far we run away - the more we run the more dis-ease and misqualified energies we co-create.
