Hi Beau,
I agree that the process is healing for all concerned.
I used to be concerned about interfering, but the feeling of PUL the retriever gets from the Helpers seems to indicate otherwise. Why would we not get blockages instead of loving help if we were interfering?
Another positive sign is that sometimes after a retrieval, a Helper will take the retriever to a lovely part of The Park for a brief visit, a gracious thank-you, I've assumed.
Also I have been refused permission to do some retrievals I requested because they were not ready or available. Perhaps they were ones who could not accept that their time at that lower level was done. (Opinions seem to differ on whether they are put there by Others or by their own needs.)
No need to worry!
Bets
