AHZ Blog/Personal Development/Empower, Don't Enable: Abraham Hicks' Guide to True Support

In the insightful session "Unlock the Secret to STOP ENABLING Needy People", Esther Hicks channels Abraham to explore the delicate balance between supporting and enabling others. This dialogue delves into the importance of individual empowerment, emphasizing the need for personal alignment and self-reliance. By understanding the nuances of true assistance versus enabling behavior, we can foster genuine growth and satisfaction in ourselves and those we aim to support. Let’s dive into these transformative insights and learn how to apply them in everyday life.

The Essence of Individual Empowerment

Abraham explains that true support lies in empowering individuals to access their own inner strength and guidance. Misguided enabling often stems from a misplaced desire to fulfill others' needs, inadvertently stunting their personal growth. Genuine assistance, on the other hand, comes from an inspired place, providing the right measure of help without impeding individual alignment with one's desires.

For example, consider a healthcare professional who feels the impulse to help a patient beyond what is necessary. Abraham advises that while it’s noble to assist, the key is to empower the patient to find their own strength. This approach not only fosters self-reliance but also aligns with the patient's journey towards personal growth.

Practicing Inspired Assistance

Abraham emphasizes that inspired assistance involves being a conduit, not a crutch. This means offering support that aligns with both your inner being and the other person’s needs, without creating dependency. When we assist from a place of alignment, we are more likely to provide meaningful help that encourages growth.

A practical example involves a healthcare professional who regularly treats a patient for free. While the intention is kind, it might inadvertently enable the patient to remain dependent. Instead, the professional could shift their approach by encouraging the patient to take small steps towards self-reliance, fostering their inner strength and independence.
