Karma 101
Video Transcript
Today, we are talking about karma and as an Akashic Records Consultant, I get that question all of the time. People come in for a reading and they want to know, do I have karma? What am I working through in this life? And if they're in a relationship that's not going very well-- Do we have karma? And where's it coming from? And what do I need to do? And when you are in a relationship that's not going very well it can take a toll on you. It can become very heavy and weighted, discouraging, communication can be really, really difficult and it's just not fulfilling, right? You're not able to show up for the other person the way that you want to, but also you can't show up for yourself either. So today we're going to specifically talk about relationship karma and dive into the bigger perspective of that.
You're going to learn what karma is and specifically what it isn't, because there's a lot of misconception around karma out there. We're going to talk about how karma gets created. And we're going to also understand the soul's perspective of karma. We'll identify some of those red flags that let you know when it is definitely a karmic situation, and also what you can do to begin to change that energy. Because when you move through that heavy, stuck energy in your relationship, you free it up, it gives you more energy to focus on yourself, to show up authentically and to be able to create with. So it's really, really important that all of us learn and evolve and grow and move through these stuck energies so that we can show up the way that we are really meant to-- magnificently in our own authentic divine energy.
WHAT IS KARMA?
So let's start out with what is karma. A lot of people think that it is some kind of curse, like it's punishment for something that they did in a past life, and that it is a bad thing or that it is their destiny to suffer because of their karma. And that is simply not true. Karma really gives us an opportunity to grow and to understand and we're going to look at the soul's perspective. And this is something that I have seen so many times from the Akashic Records, just working with my own personal records, through my own karma and my own relationships, as well as being able to facilitate those sessions for other people.
So to get a sense of what's happening with karma, we're going to go back to the big picture, which is what your soul's intention is for any particular lifetime. And you have to remember that your soul is pure, perfect, whole, always connected is Source energy. And there is no lack. There is nothing lacking within your soul. That is your true divine nature. It is your reality. And when we come to earth, we forget that because earth is ruled by density and a 3D dimensionality, where there is lack. There is separation here. There is a great forgetting, an illusion that we are not enough, that we are disconnected from Source and this offers an amazing opportunity for the soul to grow. The soul's desire is to come and have experiences that bring it out from that energy of pure perfection into illusion so that it can remember the truth. Now this is really important-- the Record Keepers talk about karma as just being unfinished business. It's like these loops that you have opened that you just haven't closed yet. Now on a more practical scale, what happens is a little bit like a hero's journey as a soul.
>>>Karma is just unfinished business
You craft a hero's journey. You say, I am going to have an experience that's going to help me grow in these particular ways. And to do that, I'm going to go and forget everything I know about myself. And I'm going to have a challenge. It's like a dragon that needs to be slayed, and I'm going to move through that challenge. I'm going to be victorious. And then I'm going to remember the truth. And my soul as a result will expand. So very cleverly, we craft our challenges. Who's going to be the dragon, what is going to be the dragon. And then we come to earth and we move through the cycle that we've planned for ourselves. Now, sometimes it works out beautifully. And other times we get caught up in the illusion.
I think of it a little bit like a video game, where you have to advance from level to level. Every level has got a challenge that you've got to move through. And if you don't make it, you die and you have to go back and you start the level over until you're finally able to move through that challenge. And then you advance to the next level, right? That's very, very similar to what the soul is up to as it is continuing to grow through lifetimes. So your karmic challenge is like you're stuck on the same level over and over and over again. And that challenge can be with another person, like another soul that you specifically have a challenge with repeatedly throughout lifetimes, where each soul will take on a different role, but it will always be the same energy that's being cycled through again and again in the relationship dynamic, or it could be with a pattern. And that would be a karma that you have with yourself, and you continue to fall into the same pattern over and over and over again.
Now in both of these scenarios, the common denominator is always yourself. And that's really important to remember because that gives you your power back. You are not a victim of karma. It is not your destiny to suffer and to be miserable. It is simply this unfinished business that you haven't been able to fully close the gap on. When you are in a karmic situation you can feel like you're trapped in a web, like you're cycling through, things aren't moving, and you are stuck. And a lot of times that stuck energy that we have certain times in our life has to do with this karma. And that's much more of a karma with ourselves-- that there's something that we are here to remember to move through. And all of our life is pointing us to having that realization because the pattern is at play.
But what's important to remember is you're not a victim of karma. Okay? And also karma is not an excuse. People will sometimes spiritual scapegoat and they'll say, well, you know, I've got karma with my brother-in-law. So that's just how that goes. I've heard people say that, and it's actually not an excuse to not do the work. If you have the awareness, you have the opportunity to evolve because you are not meant to suffer. You're not here to have bad relationships and to be miserable in your life. You're actually here to be that victorious hero on your journey and remember who you are as a being of light and of unconditional love. So karma is really an opportunity. I invite you to think of it like that. Whether it's a pattern with yourself or it's with another person, it's an opportunity because when you heal karma, you give yourself a gift.
>>>Karma is an opportunity
Now we're going to talk more about soul healing in the next Akashic Awakening video. But for today, I want you to know that it can be healed. That karma is just unfinished business, an open pattern. And there is nothing, no-thing that is too big for love, and this karma must be healed, right? Because this is a time of awakening for all of us. And awakening means that you remember who you are, that you are waking up to the truth of your divine self, of your light, of your love. And so the releasing and healing of karma is a very natural byproduct of that awakening process. Whether you go into it directly by looking at karma and exploring relationships, or you naturally just start to evolve your sense of who you are, and that's the beauty of the process.
THE SIGNS OF KARMA IN A RELATIONSHIP
What are the signs of karma in a relationship? Well, the first thing I would say is that relationships with karma feel sticky. Like there's a sense of no matter what I do, how I try to maneuver and get free, I am stuck.
And there's a weight to that. It's like there are ties, there are cords. There is a sense that you are not free in this relationship.
Another sign is that things are on repeat. It is the same old, same old, it's the same old fight. It's the same old scenario. It's the same old pattern. And despite your best efforts to evolve that to something different, you always come back to the same old thing.
Another sign things are out of context and feel out of control. What do I mean by that? Well, it's like when you have a response to something that does not make sense and is not proportionate to what is occurring. It's like going 0 to 100 over a tiny thing, right? Or perhaps you feel like I would never do this with anyone else. Why, what is the power that this person has over me? Because it doesn't make any sense, but the feelings that you have inside about it in the moment are so big, and despite yourself, right? There's a sense of a wave coming in and picking you up and you have no control over it. That the pattern response is so strong, so unconscious or subconscious, that you're not able to stop it in the moment. Those are all signs of karma.
It's also really exhausting. There's a sense of being taken from, and it's not replenished because the relationship is out of balance. In a healthy relationship we give and we take and we receive, and there's this growth that happens. But in a karmic relationship, not so much, they are usually very, very unbalanced. So there are a lot of clues. And to help you, I have a beautiful quiz that I've made called Do We Have Karma? And it's fun. You can take it. You can think of a particular person and answer the questions. And it will tell you on a scale, what is the likelihood that there's karma involved in this relationship?
Now, remember, relationships are amazing containers to grow in and to learn and they are mirrors. So when you look at these things with a relationship, I invite you to do it with a spirit of curiosity. And to also think about how we have the soul agreements with others to grow, that we're all here helping each other grow, even though it might not seem like it in the moment, right? When we're in that dragon’s prison, it doesn't feel like a great opportunity to grow. But if we can remember that it opens up the energy, it gives us a little more space. It breaks a little bit of those bonds, just having that mentally in your mind.
Now, when you identify that there's karma, the next suite of questions that usually rise up is okay, so what do I do with it? Like, do I stay? If it's a romantic relationship, should I go, how do we work through it? Am I here to help this person? What is the contract about? Or what do I need to change in myself so that I don't do this anymore? And the Akashic Records really excel at helping you, by helping those answers come forward so that you don't have to be stuck in these old patterns and these old karmas and these old unfinished loops, you can actually start taking the energy and moving it back full circle into that place where you have freed yourself from the past.
You get to decide, because what happens is when we clear karma, when we get those unseen patterns, unconscious responses out of the way, we've got some clarity, right? And the clarity that happens when all of that energy is freed up, actually allows you to really be in the moment, and make an honest decision about the relationship, about what needs to happen next. And you can't do that when you are being held captive by past influences. And that can include childhood influences too, to be quite honest, because as we're adults, our childhood is like a past life. It's like an experience that we had in another time and space that can hold a very strong grip on our current experience. So, it's something to consider.
You'll see this with family members a lot, you know, in a romantic relationship, it's kind of clear cut. If you get to a place where you realize this doesn't serve me anymore then you're able to untangle right, you're able to uncouple hopefully consciously and move on to the next thing and to bless each other and to go on, but with your family, it's not quite as easy. It's not quite as clear-cut. Sometimes there are family relationships that are very karmic that need to be unraveled and untangled too. And so when you have that clarity, when you're not in the past and the pain or whatever emotions or feelings that got you stuck the first time, you're able to make that decision from a point of your personal power.
HOW DO WE HEAL KARMA?
So how do we heal karma then? What do we do? And how do we let go of the past? How do we take the power back and become the self that is connected and showing up authentically within the relationship? And what I'd like to share today about that is that it is not an outward motion, but actually begins with an inner movement. It is like a positioning within your heart that opens up the door to a total transformation within yourself and the relationship so that this healing, this transformation, this evolution can occur. And I want to remind you that karma always comes bearing a gift, that on the other side of it, the lessons can be really heavy-- fighting the dragon is hard, right? Let's be honest. It is sometimes. But once you are victorious, you move through and you receive the treasure, right?
>>>Karma always comes bearing a gift
This is our beautiful hero’s journey, not unlike the way the soul plans out a life. In fact, that's why we have the hero's journey, right? There's some divine inspiration behind that particular story that has inspired humans forever. So when we can tune into what is the opportunity, what is the gift, we actually begin to change the energy right away. And remember, we talked about that full circle, coming up to the top means remembering that you are love that you are returning to the love that you are, that you always have been, that there is no lack. There is no scarcity, and you are one in your own being and experiencing that around you.
In the next training, I am going to share with you a very simple, yet very powerful tool from the Akashic Records to do that. And this tool will evolve your relationships, not only with other people, but with yourself, which is where all of our karma sits, and it will begin to loosen up those ties, those binds, that feeling of being stuck and start to move energy so that you can hold more of your own divine energy and light and this energy of the past can move out of you. And you can be free once you come full circle with this. And as you begin to embrace the idea that you are able to transform your life, things begin to move. You are powerful. You deserve this. You can have happy, healthy relationships with other people, but most importantly, with yourself, that is your divine essence expressing on this planet in your life, and as you, as a soul, having this life experience. So I'll see you then. Thanks for listening and big love. Remember that you are magnificent.
