HOLDING OTHERS IN THE LIGHT
When people around us are in distress, most of us feel a powerful instinct to help them, to heal the situation that is hurting them, and make things better. But sometimes, even when we are close to another person, we cannot ease their pain for them.
Then we feel helpless and simply don’t know what to do.
Over the years, when I have found myself feeling a profound sorrow for someone else, my Spirit Guides have instructed me how to live in detached compassion to take a step back, and begin sending Sacred Light and Blessings to that person. Here in their own words:
“No one on Earth is immune from suffering. It is a part of the human condition. Seeing another person feeling bad or ill may cause one to feel guilty for being spared from suffering themselves. But if you absorb the pain or even the worry of another, you are weakening yourself, making it less likely that you will be able to assist, should a real chance arise.
Instead, give yourself more strength, more ability to help, by connecting to the Healing Force of the Universe. See God or Divine Spirit as a Sacred Light that streams to that person in need, bringing great Healing to them. Turn all worry over to God and Spirit. The person you are concerned about is a child of God and the Universe. They will be watched over; they will be loved. They will be healed to the extent that is possible. ”
FEEL STRENGTH FROM SPIRIT
When I enter into this healing relationship with the Higher Power and Source, I find that I am energized and strong. My worries melt away as I see the Light streaming to someone in need.
Try this yourself sometime soon.
Reach up to the brightest Light of the Universe. Send this calming and healing Light to anyone who needs it. Visualize it surrounding and comforting them. See their own thoughts become calm, as they let go of fear.
Their hearts beat strong as they feel your support. It helps carry them onward in their own lives, as you move forward in yours – balanced and more healed yourself.
Blessings and Love,

This is such vital wisdom Anita, words cannot express! So often we connect ourselves to the pain and suffering of others, thinking that our identifying is the right thing to do. It is true, we should feel compassion, yet our compassion must be detached in order to remain strong enough to maintain ourselves and help the other person. Becoming attached only places us in the same low level as the person we are attempting to assist; doing this is like stepping into quicksand to help another get out: both will sink, even quicker than the one alone.
