C. Strategies for Healing and Transforming Experience
Passive participation is individualized and varied, promoting a variety of potential emotional responses. This section suggests strategies for healing and actions for transforming the experience based upon emotional responses rather than categories of roles in the conflict. There are many paths to healing these injuries from passive participation in conflict. The following are merely suggestions on how one might approach healing and transforming the emotional responses.
5. Fear
a. Practice: WAIT with fear
- Water seeds: awareness, safety, resilience, wisdom to be mindful of fear
- Accept things are as they are, will be as they will be, and things change
- Interbeing: trust in strength of interbeing as guide to insightful action
- Tend to fear diligently: sit with it, transform and release before act
b. Transforming Action:
- Mindful of self: Listen deeply to stop fear-driven action and heal fear
- Mindful of others: Cultivate the capacity to be present with another’s fear
- Participate: manage fear by waiting patiently rather than acting from fear
