The world feels like it’s turned on it’s axis. Love and hate seem all mixed up. Peace and war appear to be tangled up.

The last six weeks have been utterly heartbreaking for me. I feel like I failed colossally, like I messed it all up despite my intentions. I know it’s not true. Dana is no longer being sued and, even though I am not yet free myself, that’s something.

I do genuinely believe that there has been an irreversible shift in the yoga community, that on some level many of us have woken up to a new world and won’t be going back to the old status quo. That’s a good thing.

But sometimes the essence of the protest got lost in the drama and blurred by bullying from all sides. When someone takes a cheap shot at you and directs hate to you it hurts. And yet, I don’t think it has to be all "good vibes only”. I’m all for being strong enough to hear and listen to negative feedback. I believe in respectful discourse even when two people disagree. Just listen to my podcast interview with @jbrownyoga to see an example of that.

But I think it’s pretty obvious when someone just wants to send hate your way and bring you down in order to lift themselves up. I’ve had more than a few situations recently where I’ve been on the receiving end of hate, bullying, mean-spiritedness, judgement and misinformation. The biggest temptation for me is to go in and defend myself. I want to believe that we can talk it out and end on the same page with mutual respect. And of course I want to jump in and clear my good name. Dialogue is only possible when people are willing to open their hearts. True listening implies the willingness to be changed by what you hear. If someone is judge, jury and conviction, then there’s no path to reconciliation. If they cast you in one particular role and won’t open their mind, there’s no point in subjecting yourself to their rants. Just walk away.

Haters gonna hate. Don’t negotiate with them or you’ll throw your pearls to swine.

Listen with an open heart to every person who comes from love, even when the love hurts and especially when the love is tough. You’ll feel the difference. Hate only hurts. Love heals, even when it hurts.
