I have had two clients in the past two days ask me the same question – “How can I best help heal the world right now while it is struggling and in chaos?”

One of my clients has been diligently working on her own healing issues, taking care of her children, working, and also making time to join Earth-healing meditations. She felt a huge responsibility as a healer to help the planet in a time of crisis. She was exhausted.

The other client felt she was clearing energy within herself for the “collective,” meaning the entire planet. Also very tiring to think about. This kind of job would never end.

My dearest Lightworker, as a result of these sessions, I feel I have an urgent message for you –

Your biggest priority is to look after yourself. We’re in the time of a major upgrade in frequency and those who are called to raise their vibrations are called to work on doing just that. That means, releasing the past, healing, aligning to the Highest Light and nurturing yourself.

You actually are not called to do any planetary healing at this time.

Why? I realize my answer may be controversial…

First of all, while you are transitioning to the higher frequencies, you need all of your energy to fully make these changes. Then you can inspire others, but always while staying in your own vibration.

Secondly, if you participate in Earth-healing meditations, no matter who is leading it, you will end up mixing with lower frequencies. This is not good for you and can be very draining.

Thirdly, the Earth does not need for you to heal it! I know this sounds crazy, but it’s true. Everyone has free will and is on his or her own path. Providing healing when you have not been asked to do so is presumptuous and a violation of free will. Everyone on Earth has his or her own guides and angels and is well looked after, despite appearances. You are called to lovingly and compassionately leave each soul to his or her own path and lessons, while you work on upgrading your own vibration. This is called “compassionate detachment.”

Some souls are resisting upgrading to higher frequencies, and that’s okay. Trying to push them to go faster is overreaching and a “savior complex,” which is an old empath energy of feeling like you have to rescue others.

Watch out for your heart center being activated and wanting to rush to help or rescue people. This is just another way your energy can be lowered. “Rescuing” energy always lowers your own vibration and doesn’t even really help the other person.

As Archangel Metatron says, everything is “aligned in its misalignment” or “perfect in its imperfection.”

We are definitely not called to heal for the “collective.” We are called to heal ourselves, working with our guides and angels to upgrade our own energies, and then inspire others from that place. The real lightwork is within YOU.

So it’s best to leave the Earth healing to the pros (the beautiful guides and angels) and bring in self-love, self-compassion and self-nurturing instead! This is not selfish. In fact, it is what you are called to do, and it is the very best thing you can do at this moment.

I’m not saying that you shouldn’t ever be compassionate or lend a helping hand. This is beautiful. But please, look after yourself first. Any helping should be done from a full, not an empty, cup. Also, it is recommended that you do not act unless you are divinely inspired.
