We are part of you

I’m sure I’m not alone, and almost everyone has experienced a situation like this – there is a loved one you have been helping, and you realize helping them is making you a little crazy. You know you have to pull back and take care of yourself, and yet when you do, there is still a concern for this person and a desire to help them in some way.

I was recently in dialogue with my guides about this kind of situation. I questioned if there was a way to still be of service even though helping directly was no longer an option. Pulling back had been the right decision, and yet the person was still lingering in my mind.  When I brought up my concern and inability to simply let go, my guides provided me with a prayer or mantra I could use while meditating to focus my energy and thoughts on helping the other person.

I don’t know if the prayer helped this person but sitting in prayer did help me release any concern. Though I am no longer helping them directly, I feel like I have done what I can to help them along their path. Concern might resurface and when it does, I will not fixate on it. Instead, I will return to prayer.

At the end of the session, my guides left me with a reminder…

Your service to others begins with yourself and then you quickly can see how your service begins with “we”. We are not something separate from you. We are part of you. You are part of “we”. We are serving you and you are serving “we”. It is a reciprocal agreement – one that is never broken. It always is.
