How to Look for Help

MARTHA BECK
About this episode

We’ve all had times in our life when we’ve needed help—and we’ve all had times when we’ve received the help we needed.

In this episode of The Gathering Room: How to Look for Help, Martha says that appreciating those times when you’ve been helped in the past is the key to getting help in the future.

When we focus on need, Martha says, it creates a lifetime that feels like nothing but need. But when you see yourself as someone who’s always ultimately received help, you begin to see the universe as a friendly place where help is everywhere.

To learn how to shift your perspective and start noticing how the universe responds to your appreciation for help, be sure to listen to the full episode!
