Category: Decision
Today I had a lot of healing sessions again. The first patient was a woman who had called just yesterday to have a session today because tomorrow she will be in hospital for an operation. She has breast cancer and came to me not only for healing but for consultation, too. She told me the story of her disease, when it started and that the appointment would be tomorrow.
Actually she did not want to go to the operation and wanted to hear from me that there was no need to go and that the healing session would be enough. So she said that she always made her decision in the last minute and if I could help her to make it.
I said to her ‘yes, I can help you and give you energy so that you get more clear with your decision but I cannot decide for you. If you decide to go to hospital I can tell you that the healing session is good before and after the operation. However my work is not a substitute for medical treatment.’
Sometimes people come to me and would like me to decide for them but I can’t and won’t do that. They need to take responsibility themselves. People do this with many questions and decisions. They let someone else do it and if something good comes out of it they take credit for it, if something goes wrong it is not their fault, they can blame others. Easy but not responsible.

While obviously its important to make our own decisions, I think its the role of friends and counsellors to offer advice to allow for more informed decisions - while not making the decision friends and close people must still offer opinions and information to make the best decision.

Haha yes, for some reason, when faced with a difficult decision, we wish that someone else would just choose for us! We would be okay with either option if we knew it was the only way... but it isn't! There are two ways and it's up to us, and only us, to choose. Some people flip coins or ask for advice. But you can tell what they secretly wish for because of their reaction. If the coin lands on "heads" and their heart sinks a bit and they make a face... you know they'd rather have tails! So go with it. :)

Wouldn't it be nice if we had a little swami on our shoulder to make all of our decisions! Sadly this is not so. Only we can take responsibility for our decisions and choices.
