I'm replying to myself here with a further thought.

When it comes to being around others who are quite dominant and overbearing with their energy, I feel that applying the 7 rays could be a key to maintaining individual flow or connection with the twin flame.

For example, noticing what comes up, whether it's a question, or softness, or a playful yet firm "no", staying in the flow is not about 'doing' something in particular, but rather honouring the expression that wants to come up and then looking for reflections beyond the other people you're with.
