What I like about doing EK on frustrating situations in your present life is that to get great freedom from your old negative patterns you don't need to figure out fuzzy spiritual matters like karma and reincarnation; you can just work with well-established psychological truths—specifically, the psychological truth that we all have repressed sadomasochistic shadow desires for things that our conscious mind and ego heavily disapprove of, including jolly classics like patterns of financial scarcity, romantic rejection, and creative blocks.
