Allow Them To Feel It So They Can Heal It

This was a big one for me to get as it’s always been so easy for me to be the savior, swoop in and help those in need feel better. Years ago I was reading a book by Adyashanti where he wrote something that stopped me dead in my tracks. He said ,“Be careful how much suffering you take away from another because it might be that very suffering they need to awaken”. Let’s face it, Non of us like to see others, especially the ones we love suffer or go through hard times. But usually it’s in those hard times where you get the biggest lessons and grow the most. Of course You can be there for others, love and support them and help cushion the blow but you have to allow them to have the space to be in their shit because in order to heal it and move forward fully they have to be able to feel it.
