As part of our stay here on this physical earth with our physical bodies, we learn lessons, grow and advance in consciousness. Some people will live lives in the normal cultural tradition of having kids and families, or may pursue unique dreams and goals, or do great things to help this world. Other people will struggle in life just to survive.
Have you noticed that some people seem to be able to slide by in life? They are happy and cheerful. People want to be around them. Things seem to come easily to them.
And then have you noticed people who struggle more? They may be more stressed, anxious or depressed. They keep having bad luck with things. They struggle to pursue their dreams and goals. It is harder for these people to succeed.
There are a range of spiritual issues that can cause people to feel like they are struggling. These issues can include:
- trauma, emotional wounds and other things in our psyche that need healing
- ancestral negativity that passed down your family line
- karma from one's current or past lives
- curses and witchcraft
- negative spirits and dark forces
- being in or around negative energies
Some people, no matter how much healing they get and no matter how hard they try, will find that their lives are very slow to improve. They notice that they have to work harder than other people. This could be because they are carrying a lot of heavy karma from past lives.
These people discover that they are not living life for themselves--in other words, they are not living life for their own desires and goals. Instead, they are living life for the higher good of their soul. There may be a lot of suffering because their soul may actually want to pursue certain things in life. But because there is so much karma, it won't be able to until all the karma is released.
For these people, it is helpful to remember the big picture: that their soul is growing spiritually. It is also best to focus on loving and forgiving the self, as well as spiritual practice that helps them get closer to God. Prayer and meditation are good practices, as well as any religion that helps them feel closer to God.
