What should you do when you are in your space, loving yourself, and upsetting events happen in your community or someone asks for your help? Get involved. Make your compassion count by helping someone or donating time to an organization or charity. When physically helping someone or a good cause, you become more aware of your feelings, you understand yourself better, and you gain compassion for the creations of others.

We are physical beings and need to physically experience our creations. We are not victims. By helping others we can affirm our compassion for another's creation. This gives us a better understanding of being a creator and a co-creator.

Looking at Our Fears

It is important to look at your fears as you explore your spirituality. Are you afraid of death? Are you afraid of disease? Are you afraid of failure? Are you afraid of people or of being alone? Your fears keep you out of the moment. They prevent you from fully loving yourself by energetically interfering with your ability to love those aspects of yourself. Your subconscious mind will keep attracting your fears until you come to peace with them.

If you are afraid of death, volunteer at an AIDS or cancer hospice. When you work with people who are dying, you will to see the beauty--as well as the pain--and come to terms with your fear of death or of being out of control.

When the dimensional change occurs, I believe any fears we still have will be amplified a thousand times. Isn't it better to look now, in a controlled manner, at all the things we are afraid of and find peace with these feelings? When we find peace by having unconditional love for our fearful selves, we change our vibration--and by doing so we help change the collective consciousness.

Helping Someone Who Has Not Asked For Help

People often tell me they asked their Higher Self for permission to heal someone remotely, without the other's knowledge, and their Higher Self told them yes, they could help. By interfering without permission, however, we not only take away another person's lessons, we intensify their experiences--often causing them to create something even more chaotic. Even though our intentions are well-meaning and generated by love, getting caught up in someone else's experiences can cause the negativity around them to rebound and affect us.

When someone asks me if I would do a remote Heart & Soul Healing™ session on someone they know who has not personally asked for my help, I always tell them I need to do a session with them first. After their session, ninety percent of the time their Higher Self tells them they should not interfere with the other person.

If we try to help someone who has not physically asked us for help, I believe we intensify their creations and get caught in their experiences. Instead of trying to help others without their permission, what if we have unconditional love for ourselves and unconditional compassion for them just as they are? Could they be better helped in solving their own life lessons by feeling our self love and compassion and mirroring it in themselves?
