I have been searching for inner peace for a long time and always hit a brick wall. I am physically, emotionally and spiritually drained. When I close my eyes to meditate I just burst into tears. I am anxious to start a new journey to wellness but lack direction. What would you suggest as a starting point?

I fell in love with a 22 year girl (for the first time in my life, I’m 32) who was my private teacher in music. At first, I found her just cute but I did not feel attracted to her at all as a women (maybe because she’s young) but I felt an immediate connection with her I’d never felt before. From her body language and many things, signs I felt from the beginning that she was really attracted to me, and as time went by I realised that I had feelings for her. (It seemed her personality was very similar to mine) and I wanted to get to know her better but did not get any real opportunity to meet her apart from our classes (she had a boyfriend) although I tried everything. After 6-7 months I wrote her an e-mail in which I told her to stop lessons since I had feelings for her and how I knew the whole thing was so unrealistic etc… I also met with her but she was very negative and hostile and had nothing nice to say to me. She behaved as if she was a different person. (although by that time she had broken up with his boyfriend).
How do you think I can move on? I feel so UNFINISHED since I never got a real chance to get to know her. During summer we had no lessons but I wanted to meet her so much that we accidentally met on the street. (was that accidental? This kind of thing never happened to me before.) So, I’m still hoping that life gives me a second chance to get to know her but it’s been a month and nothing happened and maybe that was it. What do you suggest? Maybe I should not have stopped our lessons but my feelings hurt me so much and no possibility showed up to get closer to her. It hurts so much and I miss her and don’t understand why this happened.

I am a Indian girl and in my mid 20’s and I am also a Hindu. Being Indian yourself I would think you can understand that at this age many Indian parents expect their children to start looking for marriage partners. I actually have two question here. Before learning about the Secret or the Law of attraction I believed that God knew what was best for me and that my life was in their hands including the person who I am to marry. Even though arranged marriages are common with Indian people it something I have never been fond of and even believed that I myself would not experience it. Knowing about the Law of attraction has helped me immensely and got me to really be clear about the kind of person I would like to have and as the Universe is send to never give you less than what you ask for it is a relief. Since the Law of attraction has been in my life I have felt separate from Hinduism and sometimes don’t really believe in it because of the way the people in my life have taught me it. So I am kind of on my own journey of understanding religion, God, Universe, my purpose etc however my parents are still going to Priests and reading my astrology/palm and all these hocus pocus things. What is your take on astrology and Hinduism? Perhaps pre Law of attraction I believed in all this going to a priest to find if a guy is a marriage match but if my belief has changed does this mean it no longer works despite my parents making me take part?
