How to Help Your Friend Who is Having a Spritual Growth Spurt
/Helping your friends is as natural as breathing, I get it. However, I want to be a friend to YOU and give you a few tips for when your friend is going through some big spiritual and mindset growth.
My best advice for you...
Support HER and not her decisions and choices. When someone is in the middle of a spiritual "moment" things to the outside world likely make zero sense. But to the one journeying, it's their path. Mistakes must be made for lessons, wins must be made to build confidence and move towards their goal. It's messy and ugly sometimes.
I HIGHLY recommend whenever you talk, visit, hangout, text, whatever with her, please please throw up energetic protection for yourself and family. Just a quick "prayer" or intention of words of a flash of an image like a rod iron fence up around you will work. You can call in an angel to protect you also. There are many ways to do it, but DO IT. I don't want anything inadvertently thrown into your energy or taken from your energy. (People with spiritual gifts, generally speaking, don't have proper etiquette for using them. It’s ok if you didn’t know that either—most people don’t.) If you ever feel drained, tired, like you're carrying thoughts that aren't yours, you'll know you need more protection next time. In that case, you need to do some grounding to get yourself back you.
Always use your own intuition around her. If something seems uncomfortable to you, politely find a way to distance. On the flip, if you feel a pull to share a resource, quote, or a technique you learned, go for it. Discern, trust, and act.
Help her as much as your lead to and do what you feel called to do. Anything more than that will drain or burn you out. And of course, help where and when you want. To be of service to others, it has to feel aligned and a solid choice--not out of obligation.
Spiritual growth can be an uncomfortable, confusing, disheartening, thrilling, or relieving process. It has layers and takes time to play out and then internalize. While I love your excitement to help your friends, honor where they are. Supply support and encouragement; it’s likely they won’t have another friend that is as insightful and non-bias as you!
