Stop Internalizing Negativity with Chigger Medicine
Self-care and Personal Growth through Gifts from the Rainforest:
29. Chigger – chigger medicine reminds us to detach from whatever’s irritating us. When we can stop fighting with the negativity or attitudes of others, there’s nothing left to feed on.
Are you taking things personally?
Is something getting under your skin?
If so, what might help?
Healing Action: Decide that your reactions matter. Reject irritations without feeding the anger. Stop internalizing negativity, especially when it isn’t really about you.
Growing A Thick Skin
Chiggers are mites that dig under the skin and lay eggs.
They irritate and cause you to itch voraciously.
Unfortunately, the more you scratch –
the more they spread and the worse it gets.
Parasites of this sort come in many forms:
the gossiping neighbor next door,
the rebellious child,
the critical boss,
and the nagging mate.
It’s as if all they want is to get under your skin.
Anger and apathy only keeps the fire burning.
The way to handle parasitic people is to
cut them off from their fuel supply –
detach from your emotions.
Be firm, be courteous, agree with them
and hand them back their problems.
Without resistance, there’s nothing left for them to feed on.

Further Exploration into Chigger Medicine:
You are very easily irritated by your current circumstance. Irritation is like a fire that causes your energy to react destructively, giving you an excuse to lash out by blaming, arguing, gossiping or feeling sorry for yourself. It would be advisable for you to transform your irritation into an energy that will fuel your dreams instead of destroying them.
Learn to be more quiet and peaceful when you fall out of balance. Stop whatever you are doing and take a deep breath. Take several, in fact. Look at Chigger’s Circle and ask your heart: “What is really irritating me about this?”
Then, stop focusing on the feeling of irritation and neutralize your energy as much as possible. Don’t let yourself get caught up in trying make things work the way you think they should. The time isn’t right to engage in a fight. It’s time to disengage from the need to be right.
Or
Irritations that return over and over again are there to remind you that something is a problem. Release any conditioning or agreements you may have to ignore the message or unknowingly internalize negativity. In this case, it’s worth it to just start writing or expressing whatever comes into your head. Don’t stop the flow of thoughts until they’re complete. More questions or irritations may come to the surface. Keep expressing yourself until you get to the bottom of what’s really burning you up.
If you can get to the place where you can finally accept and forgive, you’ll be able to let it go. Imagine that you can open yourself up and expel whatever is bugging you by sending that irritation up to the Light for transformation.
