Dear Jennifer: I have been looking for a job for over two years and it’s been hard, partly because of an unfair, negative situation at my previous job in which I was unjustly fired. I loved my previous job and have worked very hard to clear all of the energy that I know I used to create that situation. So I was overjoyed when I had several interviews for a job and was then turned down by the employer, just when I was sure I had the job. I thought I had cleared all of this so what happened? What did I do wrong?
Jennifer’s Answer: I know you are very upset about this and wonder if you have done something wrong, haven’t been successful in changing the energy around your life, and are a little scared that this is going to be your future. Know that you have done a lot of things right. I want to start by saying that the level of healing you achieve is not going to be measured by a job offer and sometimes we learn more by what we do not get than by what we get.
Think for a moment about what you said you did not want in a job, or a certain type of employer or work situation. Is it possible that this job would have mirrored something you didn’t want? I know you feel that you need a job and you want one now, but when you clear energy you narrow the field of potential so that exactly what you want is what is available to you and you do not have to go through difficult experiences before you choose something else. With this level of clearing, you get to make those choices before you begin.
Don’t lose hope, bless this lack of connection so you can keep the momentum going in your life. What do you really want in a job, what kind of environment, what level of integrity, respect and trust do you want your employer to have? Think of everything that is important to you — go back to the horrible job and remember all of the things you said you didn’t want. Because there is so much emotion there, that is what you are protecting yourself from.
And resist the urge to think that you are wrong or did not do enough clearing work when you think something doesn’t happen in the right way. That’s one of your lessons here, to look beyond self blame, criticism and judgment and see where you may be protected from a situation you do not want, or actually manifesting exactly what you want (and rejecting things you do not want). Instead of asking yourself what you did wrong, ask yourself what it was in that situation that you were being protected from, or what was being manifested for you. You’ll feel better, stop blaming yourself and be prepared for a more wonderful position that will really meet your needs in the most wonderful way.
