A helping hand

At my what-feels-like-a-different lifetime, there were many people who lent a helping hand for me to get back on my feet. Some were friends. Others were complete strangers who shared wise insights and pointed me towards a direction of light. So in my confused and painful state of existence, I received information, signposts and support to move towards bliss.

This affirms my belief that we can all lend a helping hand regardless of where we may be at in any given point and space of time. We can be of significance even before we are significant. At times, effort is needed for us to be that hand. Over the space of a couple of days, I've met two persons who inspire me with their abundant hearts.


My friend A made the effort to get in touch with a colleague who resigned because she's suffering from depression. She does not really know this colleague but felt she could be of help. Beyond just a "hi-how are you-bye" phone call, A made the effort to visit the colleague at her home and accompanied her for a treatment session. Love-ly, isn't it?

The second abundant gesture happened to me. Yesterday morning, I received an sms from a complete stranger. In it, the person helped publicise my upcoming Mandarin Quantum-Touch workshop in May. I called to thank him/ her and had a nice chat with K. She's learnt QT previously and during the workshop, her fellow participants mentioned that their family/ friends would be interested in learning QT if there's one in Mandarin. She came across my blog and saw that I'll be conducting a Mandarin one in May and hence, smsed the info to her group. She made the effort to (1) remember and (2) to make the connection.

In life, we are presented with many oportunities to be a beacon of light and love to someone in distress or needing direction. May we make the effort, like A & K did, to be that beacon and experience the joy and bliss that comes with it.
