Helping those we can’t reach

I don’t often watch the news, but I do watch YouTube because I like to learn and explore new ideas. This past week, it has been plastered with horrific scenes of the floods in Nepal. I sat there with tears in my eyes when I watched the first several videos, my heart aching for those in need. I soon realized that this wasn’t helping anyone, so I resolved to reconnect, realign, and do what I could to be the light.

I turned everything off for a while and sat, breathed, and received until I felt Divine love flooding my being. Tapped in once again, I turned on another video and began to pray with my energy, flowing love, kindness, support, and strength to all who “randomly” appeared on my feed. I can’t assist in rescue efforts from my place on earth, but I can hold the hearts of those who hurt, imagine them surrounded in the warmth of Divine light, and add my prayer to that of millions who areflowing love to those in need.

Those affected by disasters—both those who die and those who remain—are often angels on earth, enduring the unthinkable to inspire the world’s compassion. Those who died in the floods left quickly and were in the light before they knew what happened. Those who remain on earth need our strength and our love.

In my personal life, I have been called to stay in a powerful space of love often these past few weeks. When Mom ran out of oxygen on the plane, I was not allowed to leave my seat, so I went inward, connected, and with all my heart wrapped her in light. The next week, when a dear one’s heartbeat dropped below 22 and they were sent by ambulance to the emergency room, I went inward again and again held them in light and God’s grace. They received a lifesaving operation.

A few days later, I found out an old friend had fallen, broken several bones, had the spine fused, and was in physical therapy without being able to walk just yet. On the phone, I simply said, “Shut your eyes. I am bringing the light.” I sent my awareness to their space and held their spirit in an embrace of angelic light. They felt it.

We sometimes feel so powerless because there’s not a lot we can “do” to help another. We can’t be with them physically. We can’t change a tough situation. We can’t make them “get” how much help is there or the alternative ways to handle challenges. Sometimes the pain we see is so big it seems like we are an ant crossing a sidewalk to help a giant.

That is the perspective of the human personality. The soul sees our connection to the Divine. The soul knows we are like a fire hose hooked up to an infinite supply of water, capable of nourishing people in ways most can’t imagine. We are like that hose, hooked up to an infinite supply of Divine love, as long as we take care of ourselves, take time to receive that love, and keep ourselves in a decent vibe. Love knows no limits in space or time. In connection with that love, we can work at a distance, help those who don’t want to receive advice, and assist, often in ways so subtle no one will ever know they’ve been helped.

It doesn’t matter. We don’t need credit for our energy work. We just want to love, and in our connection to love, we can help others heal, remain strong, and create kinder futures.

Here are a few very practical ways to help when you can’t do much at the human 3D level:

1.  Align your own spirit with love first

We are most powerful when we allow our connection with the Divine to flow freely. Before helping another, fill your cup. Do something you enjoy. Listen to a song that lifts you. Sit. Breathe. Receive until you feel the love pouring to you and through you. Go out in nature.

Do something—anything—that connects you with the feelings of Divine love.

Then, and only then, can we most powerfully aim the energy that creates worlds.

2. Focus on the light in another

When I used to see people in person, many would come to my office clearly fighting a cold. I didn’t want to take part in that energy, nor did I want that vibration remaining for my next clients. So I focused on the person in front of me and imageind them being positively healthy, glowing with light and radiant vibrancy. Almost always, they’d heat up, feel better, and leave without sniffles. I wasn’t doing it for them. I was like a tuning fork, helping them find the frequency of well-being so they could let it in. We’re all capable of this simply through our willingness to focus beyond circumstances.

When you see someone suffering, look beyond and imagine them in joy. When you see someone sick, focus on their soul’s radiant, vibrant health. When you see someone thinking, “I can’t,” quietly focus on them finding out that they can. When you see devastating earth changes, pick a random person you see on the news and imagine wrapping light and love around them, whispering to their soul, “You are loved. I am with you. You are not alone.” They won’t hear, see, or know you, but they’ll feel a whisper of strength or a sudden feeling that they can take the next step.

The world of energy is real, potent, and available to be directed in love at all times.

3. Listen to your guidance

If you have set an intention to help another, you will be guided as to when to call, speak up, or remain silent. As you quiet your mind and trust that God loves you both, you will be impulsed to do what is needed for the other in a way that is in alignment with your energy and intentions. Resources that the Divine knows will be beneficial will be provided and made known. You will give from the fullness of your connection to love.

When we give from our ego rather than from the true impulses of our soul, we can easily burn out or feel resentment. Authentic soul-giving inspires, empowers, and creates greater flow in and out of our lives. You’ll easily know the difference.

Soul-giving feels good. When it crosses into should-giving or ego-giving, it feels forced.

We are powerful in our connection, even though most of us will never see the invisible world of energy. We can’t see gravity, and yet it helps align stars and planets. We can’t see love, but we know it when we feel it. And just as we feel invisible love, so too can others. When they are ready, they will feel the love and compassion we offer.

Whether they know us and feel it personally, or we will never meet and they just feel a sudden sense of, “I can take the next step,” love is the ultimate healer and the guide to a kinder life.
