My client, who recently underwent surgery, sounds really bad, very breathless, physically, mentally, and emotionally exhausted. Apparently she has had some sort of setback, nasogastric tube reinserted, and at the end of her tolerance. She wants to know, what was behind all this? What can we do to help her?

This is entirely old karma. These are karmic debts owed from other lifetimes ganging up on you, in a sense, and needing some restitution, a realignment of energies to set things right in a better way. This is an ongoing problem that you as yet have not been able to fully resolve with the healing work. This is in part due to inner roadblocks and in part due to the magnitude of the karmic obligations seeking a rebalancing in the current lifetime because the Law of Karma sees you are in a position to take this on and handle it. Doing it now will pay many dividends, even though it is quite painful and seems like the worst possible timing because your life has had so many difficulties that one thing more seems cruel and unusual punishment. Even so, karma looks at the big picture; it is far better for you to settle all this and resolve it in your current life so you need not have to come back again if you choose not to. In a way, this would be dodging a bullet because the next time around you might not be in as good a position to receive the healing you have been gaining ground with. Even though it may not feel that this is so, you are making steady progress. Keep in mind the symptoms are the last thing to leave, so there may be continuing difficulty and struggles going forward for some time yet, but it need not last forever and the investment will be well worth it. We see things are going to improve for you and are working to bring this about. Continued Protocol work on her behalf and subconscious channeling with trauma resolution, if that can be arranged, would be of value in helping her. The problem is the sheer magnitude of the backlog. It is not unusual in that regard. The average person has as much negative karma still unresolved. It is only that people vary in to what extent it is rearing its ugly head at the moment and how much of it. If people are having uneventful lives, that is a good fortune others will not enjoy, but that does not mean they get off scot-free, they will have their innings with struggle and suffering as well, in all likelihood. Not everything is healable for the asking. This is a harsh lesson as well, of karma and the obligations it brings your way. Some things you must shoulder yourself and bear the burdens for a time in order to set them right, but things will improve if you keep going.
