One way to support someone who is ill or going through a difficult time, teaches Sandra Ingerman, is to envision him or her in divine light:
One of my discoveries on the path of direct revelation has been that the true help we can give people—family, friends, or strangers—is to visualize them in their divine light and perfection. Just as you can practice experiencing your own divine light, you can also visualize everyone you know, or with whom you feel a connection, in their divine light. In this way you are not denying them the challenges they are facing; rather, you are sending them strength and the power to stand strong in the midst of change and even in their transition back into the spirit world.
In quantum physics, there is a teaching that has meaning for us here: lower frequencies entrain to higher frequencies. In other words, if you choose to live and act, think and speak, emote and express your feelings as a true visionary, you must transfigure yourself so that you exist in your divine light and perfection—and then it will be effortless to project that experience onto all of life.
In this way, you as the inspired visionary will help the radiance of life around you to shine strong.
