The Illusion of Help
Sometimes the greatest form of control is the desire to help.
It sounds paradoxical, doesn’t it? Yet deep within the human psyche lies an unconscious belief: “If I heal others, I will heal myself.”
But often behind this desire hides not love, but fear – the fear of facing your own pain when you see it reflected in someone else.
Many people come to me with the urge to “save” someone – a partner, a parent, a friend. Yet the salvation they seek is really their own liberation from guilt.
To try to help someone who is not ready is like pulling on a flower’s stem to make it grow faster. It feels like you’re doing good, but in truth, you’re tearing life away from its natural rhythm.
Help that comes from the ego can always be recognized by its expectations.
We expect gratitude, change, acknowledgment.
Help that comes from love simply is. It seeks no result, asks for nothing. It just exists.
True help means standing beside another while they pass through their own darkness – without dragging them out, without stealing their right to meet themselves.
Sometimes the highest form of love is doing nothing.
Stepping back with respect and silence, knowing that their soul has its own path.
Help only when there is no fear or need in you – when you don’t want to save, but simply to be.
Then even a single touch, a single word, a single presence becomes healing.
And you realize that you were never a healer of others, but simply the light in which they remembered their own wholeness.

The Karmic Knot of “Saving”
Many women come to me with the same look in their eyes – “I want to help my child.”
They believe their children suffer because they carry something that must be cleansed.
But the truth is that the children are simply expressing the mother’s unhealed pain.
The unbearable thing – the one mothers often cannot face – is their own guilt and the recognition of their personal wounds reflected in their children.
A child is never separate from the mother – it is her energetic continuation, her unconscious imprint in matter.
Children are exact mirrors of their parents’ traumas. They carry no independent burden, but reflect what has remained unacknowledged and suppressed in the mother or father.
When the mother begins to heal herself – freeing her body from guilt, shame, and fear – the child begins to breathe again.
Not because it has changed, but because the vibration of reality around it has been cleansed.
The karma between mother and child does not unravel through interference, but through trust.
When a mother insists on “helping,” she unconsciously maintains the bond of pain and dependence.
The child stays entangled in her guilt, feeling it must “get better” so she won’t suffer.
True liberation comes when the mother accepts that she cannot live her child’s life for them.
Then love ceases to be a weight and becomes space – pure and free.
To allow your child to suffer when that suffering is part of their path is not cruelty – it is profound trust in their soul.
To not save someone when your ego screams “you must,” is an act of higher love.
Love that doesn’t cling, doesn’t demand, and doesn’t fear.
Love that simply is – present, silent, and whole – while the other finds their own healing.
When this truth is felt deep within the body, everything changes.
The child calms down, the mother begins to shine, and between them arises not a bond of need, but a field of freedom.
A space where no one needs saving anymore, because both have remembered that they are already whole.
If you want to help your children – help yourself.
With love and presence,
