What a lesson it is when life uproots you! Relocating to another area can be a necessary move or a geographical cure. I’ll use the example of a precognitive dream from 2010 to go further into this topic.

If we were meant to stay in one place, we’d have roots instead of feet.

Dream

Someone was showing me a building with aspects of different offices I had rented. We went upstairs. To my surprise, there were missing boards on the flooring and my sister was nailing boards into them.

“What in the world does that dream mean?” I asked myself upon awakening. This dream felt like a precognitive dream similar to the ones I had in the past. However, this dream baffled me about how my future would occur.

We can try to predict the future with analysis, actions, or psychic readings. The future will unfold the way it’s supposed to. Let go and allow it to occur the way it’s meant to be.

When Life Uproots Pamela

Six months later, my old car’s transmission went and needed expensive repairs. It was the summer of 2010, and I could barely afford my living expenses. What was I going to do?

The answer came in a vision. It was wild as I saw myself packing up and getting rid of furniture.

This horrified me because I knew it meant I would have to move to North Carolina to live with my sister. Hence, the symbolism in the dream of her helping me build a new foundation.

No! I was a Jersey Girl! I was supposed to live and die in New Jersey.

Learn More Was It a Geographical Cure?

A geographical cure is when a person thinks moving to a new town, state, or country will cure their addiction and/or the solution for personal problems. If they refuse to deal with their addiction and/or work on their issues, then nothing changes.

Oprah is a good example of a necessary move. When she moved from Baltimore, Maryland to Chicago, Illinois, her career moved in a positive direction. Afterwards, it took off!

Sometimes it’s a combination of both. You might need to escape an abusive relationship for your safety. Relocation can offer the solution if you work on why you attract an unhealthy partner or partners, so you can heal these issues.

It wasn’t a geographical cure for me as I had a precognitive dream, received a vision, and have been on the personal growth/spiritual path since 1989.

Of course, I could have gotten a couple of part-time jobs to make ends meet, and barely had any free time. That’s not the way I desire to live, and I would have been fighting destiny.

Being Uprooted Is Like Living On Another Planet

When you move to a new location, you might deal with different beliefs, customs, and lifestyles than what you are used to. Talk about confusion.

On a positive note, these differences will stretch your limited thinking. There’s a huge adjustment period. Talk about a new set of lessons.

Eastern North Carolina may be in the United States, yet it is so different from New Jersey’s suburbs. As one Southerner told me, “Ya’ll suburbs are our cities.”

Everything was different down here. The food, the slower pace, the landscape, and… Everything!

It felt like a spotlight was on me because of my New Jersey accent and license plate.

Honestly, I cried for months. My cat, Merlin, and parakeet, Birdy Bird, adjusted easier than me. Both of them have since crossed over to the other side.

Plant Yourself

Everyone has a choice to plant themselves in a new area. A person who did a geographical cure might need to return home. Or maybe not.

For those of you who chose to plant yourself, here are some suggestions:

Take a walk in your neighborhoodJoin a gym or yoga studioAttend spiritual groupsGo to eventsVolunteerGet involved with the communityHang out in a bookstore or coffee shop

The point is to explore the new area. Remember, it takes time to accumulate. Relationships don’t happen overnight.

You’re Rooted

There comes a time when the alien planet becomes like home. Visits to your former area might feel weird because it’s home, but it is now viewed from a new growth perspective.

Think about what you have learned from this move.

How has your life changed? Are there more positives than negatives?

Fifteen years later has brought me new insights. I tease that if I was a piece of barbecue chicken – the meat would be Jersey, while the barbecue sauce is all Southern. Giggle!

I’m planted here with no desire to move back. I met my soulmate, got married, and we have a house that would cost a fortune in New Jersey. My spirituality, personal growth, and business took off in ways which might not have happened if I fought destiny.

Life is all about change. You, me, and everyone else can be uprooted at any time. Trust that if it does, it’s happening for your highest good, and go with the flow…
