I came up with an interesting idea just now. I'm the type of person that wants to help everyone as much as I possibly can, even if there's usually nothing I can do. I have a very engineering-geared mind sometimes (I'm a programmer) so I always feel bad when I can't do something tangible. Just tonight I heard from a friend how one of his friends is going through really tough times, dealing with a seriously jerkish roommate, etc. and even though I'd never heard of this guy before, I really felt for him. I just have that extra touch of empathy, I guess.
So I'm sitting here thinking about what I can do to help people. Being in college makes things tough, as I certainly can't afford to send people money despite how I want to. Though of course money doesn't solve the big problems anyhow... All that comes to mind is trying to project some healing / positive energy to people. I mean, energy of that sort is basically "free", I can work with that. I also thought it was an idea that would go over well on these forums, so... here I am.
I went on for a lot longer than I thought I was going to... the short version is, I like helping people, so I want to send them some positive energy. I'd love to place this thread where more people can see it, but I know that this is where it belongs. So, I'm counting on you Inner Sanctum-ers to volunteer some people who you think need healing (even yourself, if you want. It works for me!) I'll send some along to a couple of people each night. If I can remember to, anyway.
(My little disclaimer: I'm no expert at this, just the opposite! This is as much a "practice makes perfect" idea as it is being helpful. Killing two birds with one stone, as it were. That being said, I figure it can't hurt, right? )
