My client [name withheld] wants to know: “Why have the last 8 years of trying to figure out what to do with my life seemingly not led anywhere?”

This is a karmic dilemma you are living today on the heels of a string of past lifetimes where you were running from pursuers bent on destroying you. That is what stirred you to break with family and your ties to your country of residence growing up, and seek experiences elsewhere. This was perceived as a journey of opportunity, but in actuality, on a deeper subconscious level was an escape reenacting your flight from pursuers. This, in fact, has continued to be a drain and a source of inner conflict and turmoil because it is keeping you feeling lost and unable to come to rest for a prolonged length of time without becoming agitated and feeling unsettled, with everything remaining uncertain in your life. This is simply mirroring the consequences of past experiences where you were forced to flee to save yourself. That is not truly needed in the current life and is creating many of the same negative consequences of the fugitive, but unnecessarily. So there is simply a need for much healing here to help things calm down and allow you to put roots down once again, making wise choices, and having clarity in your thinking to make a good plan. For it to truly help you move forward will also depend on further healing so that the two go together. This will happen and will take some time yet, but healing is ongoing and you will gradually become more stable and things will begin to become clearer as well. This will be followed by a series of wiser choices and directions that will take you to a better situation and better times ahead.
