Letting the Universe Help

Oftentimes we wish for help in our lives and often times we forget that this help is available to us at any given time.
This is something that Jesus already knew when he said:
…
-Luke 11:9
…
But whom shall we ask?
Well, the universal, divine love which surrounds us at all times. Some call it God or Goddess, others call it Universe or Love, and still others call to Jesus or the Saints or their Spiritual Helpers. It really does not matter how we call it, does it, as long as we do it with love in our hearts.
I noticed that in many ways I receive help immediately when I ask the Universe for it. Sometimes it may take a while until I notice but the help is there.
Additionally I observed that some aspects improve the communication with the Spirit World and thereby the potential of help available improves, as well.
…
Believe
Firstly it seems to be extremely important that one believes that something can change for the better and that one is worth it – having the better as well as receiving the help along the way.
At that I do not necessarily need to know how exactly this help or the result looks. Important is that I believe that it can happen and that I deserve it.
When I notice that there are blockages it is an invitation to solve those. With that, of course, one can ask the Universe for help, again.
…
Trust
Further it seems important to me to trust the Universe and the Spiritual Helpers on the way when I ask them for help. This is part of accepting help.
Sometimes, perhaps the inner guidance leads us to situations that are perceived as scary. Then, it is important to have trust.
This does not mean to ignore the fear. On the contrary, it means to acknowledge the fear and yet choosing to trust our own path. And, of course, we are allowed to ask the Universe for help with this, again.
…
Acceptance
If one encounters such fears or other dark phases along the way, naturally one does not wish to put undue focus on them. After all, energy is following attention and one rather wishes to strengthen aspects like grace and joy instead of fear and depression.
However, to shove the latter two aside when they come up usually does not help, either. For one, this is because then the focus lies on suppressing what is perceived as negative which only leads to more shoving away and suppression.
Apart from that, the Spirit World can only fully capture our perception of the events if we allow them complete insight.
Our Spiritual Helpers, as the name indicates, currently have no body. Some, like the ascended masters might once have had one. Others have not. Just as we, here, in the embodied experience easily forget how it was to be pure spirit, I believe, in the experience of pure spirit one also easily forgets how it was to have a body.
This is something that only we as embodied spirits have fully in view; the density, the experience of pain and fear but also the experience of great joy and bliss. And it is our task to help our spiritual company to understand this from where they are, now.
This is why we may let our Spiritual Helpers know exactly how certain experiences feel for us. To do so, we may face those experiences ourselves, first, instead of constantly shoving them aside.
A short moment of complete, unconditional acceptance is often enough to understand – for us as well as for our Spiritual Helpers.
Oftentimes we are so busy to feeling the things that we experience as unpleasant. Though, nothing can change this way. The problem persists and the pressure of the shoving-away becomes bigger and bigger until, at some point it culminates in an upsurge.
However, loving acceptance and awareness bring change. They allow us, crazy as it sounds, to let go of the problem for one moment and to shift our perspective. They allow the Spirit World to understand how this experience feels for us and to align their help accordingly. They allow us to be truthful with our experiences – and the truth paired with love is one of the strongest powers in the universe.
So, instead of shoving and suppressing during those times when fear, depression or other dark feelings come up I say:
…
I see you. And through me I allow my Spiritual Helpers to see you, as well. Dear Spiritual Helpers, this is how it feels for me, at the moment. I choose to trust you. And I need your help. Please, help me. “
…
Gratitude
Finally I want to take a look at the aspect of gratitude, once more. I know it nearly became a fashion to talk about gratitude. But to be grateful is so immensely important.
Through the act of gratitude I am acknowledging all the help that I received, already. I perceive it and therefore let it become truth.
As mentioned before, energy follows attention. And through the act of gratitude I am directing my energy onto a loving, joyful track. I am concentrating on gratitude and with that pulling even more opportunities into my life to be grateful for.
Gratitude can even transform threats to invitations for change. When I see myself confronted with a scary situation and am able to say:
…
Thank you for the invitation to now get over this fear. “
…
Then profound changes can happen. In such a situation, I naturally would ask my spiritual friends for help, again.
Of course, the thing with the gratitude works best if one not only says Thank You but also really means it, feels it and experiences it.
…
Have you ever received help from the Universe/ God/ the Spirit World? What helps you with asking for help and also with accepting it?
Are you ready to shine a bright light of awareness on the path of beingness, today?

Thank you, dear Anna! 🙂
Much ❤ to you, too!
In the darkest hours, I pray. I pray in silence and it is only when I let go of fear and give thanks for all the good things in my life that I am saved.
O you / who have given me eyes / to see the light / that fills my room, / give me the inward vision / to behold you in this place. / O you, who has made me feel / the morning wind upon my limbs, / help me to feel your presence / as I bow in worship to you.

Dear Ashley,
thank you for coming by and sharing this beautiful prayer by Chandran Devanesen as well as your own insights! 🙂
You have an excellent point, there. It would seem to me, too, that what in many religions is called salvation actually comes with the shift of perspective which allows us to experience genuine gratitude.
Much love,
Steffi
Hi Steffi
I should have said “that I am saved from depression”.
When I was in my early teens I remember some other children of my own age saying that they had been “saved”. This was after they had attended an evangelical religious festival where speakers bombarded them with “fire and brimstone”. To me they were no different to how they were before the festival but they insisted, in a very smug way that I was not “saved” and therefore not really a Christian. That experience always made me very wary of those who vociferously pronounced their beliefs by putting others down.
Yes, there is so much in the world that we should be grateful for and we should say so!
Hey Ashley,
I am sorry that you had to experience this kind of treatment from the other children and in a way I feel sorry for them, too, as it often seems to happen that children who have been brought to the church at that age only repeat what their parents have told them as opposed to discovering your own access to belief/ faith/ the divine; although I do not know if this is the case for the people mentioned here, of course.
Even though this must have been a painful experience for you it might have saved you exactly from that: just following something because somebody says so. Instead you had the chance to find your own way and definition of what actually helps you and does you good, as well as on how you best worship the benevolent divine/ universe/ god in your unique voice according to all that you are.
I know people like those children you described, too. Very nice adult people of different religions. We talk, exchange acts of kindness, smile and by encountering each other with an open heart and mind everybody feels better than before. They tell me about their religion and I am listening openly. Then they ask me what I believe in. And I tell them, that I do believe in the benevolent divine but that I cannot put that under the banner of one religion as I see a deep truth that lies within all of them and is only expressed in different ways. And then they tell me, that I need to be saved and that I cannot be a good person if I do not go to their temple with them – be it a church, a mosque or a Buddhist or Hindu temple. And when I respectfully decline because that goes against my own belief, they see that as an insult, not even considering that the fact that they stated I am not a good person the way I am already could be seen as an insult in itself. Only, that I have practised forgiveness when I heard them state it because I looked beyond the religious practice from my heart into theirs. It would seem in reply they did not. A pitty but their free choice which I have to accept.
Fortunately, there are also those people who can accept that we all are practising the worship to the one truth in a different way. And I had beautiful, insightful and inspiring discussions with people from all kinds of directions; including atheists and agnostics. I learned a lot from all of them and I like to believe that this was a mutual experience. 🙂 And that, for example, is one thing I am grateful for.
I am also grateful for your kind and open comments, dear Ashley. ♥
Much love,
Steffi
Thank you Steffi for being so open too!
Warm hugs,
Ashley
Hugs right back at you, Ashley!
By the way: That is not to say that visiting churches, mosques or other temples generally goes against my belief. Only when invited there under the condition of proselytizing me – as agreeing to this would be a lie on my part. 😉
