Sometimes it takes us to go through all of the turmoil, to understand what we have to release. Karma is infectious; it is there to teach everyone involved a lesson. It's target will be the culprit and the people or energies surrounding it will learn why they need to be them. This is naturally done to clear and heal our spaces. What truly happens under attack is damage control and removing the things that don't fit or will not grow on our divine journey.
Its okay to let things go, clear your energy free your space.
