We want to help those around us. It is up to the other person to accept our offers or not. We can help heal old hurts through these interactions. They give an opportunity to build trust and safe space between people. There is healing ready and waiting within these interactions. When we ground our bodies and breathe before we ask to help we give that person neutral space with which to answer honestly.
If we reach for them or ask out of desperation or felt obligation- resentment, irritation and mistrust can grow. Ground your feet, breath and then ask with no exceptions. Whether they accept or refuse makes no difference. That is the intention of living in LOVE and respect.
