Respect the desire of people to make their own mistakes. Respect their choices. The respect for free choice is fundamental for the spirit world, and is also fundamental for Reiki. Remember, that souls come to this world to make choices and to learn of their own mistakes. Many people insist on making their own choices exactly for that reason. Respect the right of others to make their own mistakes even if you know better. You always have the right to offer your help. It usually doesn't hurt to repeat your offer, especially if you feel balanced, positive and justified. Yet, if your help is refused, don't feel rejected, take it easy and express your respect for the right of others to make their own choices.
