The Tamesis
From the moment you meet, you feel as if you’ve known them before. It’s an instant connection, as if you were drawn together by an invisible force. It’s intoxicating, addictive, and mind-blowing. You want to know: Is this person my soulmate? My one true love? My twin flame?
Then, suddenly, the dynamics began to change. The initial magic began to wear off. Arguments became more frequent. You try to reconcile but make little progress; these patterns repeat themselves endlessly, leaving you exhausted and heartbroken.
This type of relationship is called a karmic relationship by many in the New Age and metaphysical circles. These relationships are often marked by an incredibly strong initial attraction that feels meant to be, but ultimately becomes difficult, unstable, or at least extremely confusing.
“When we see or experience a relationship that is intense and drama-filled, many of us mistakenly call it love, when it’s not,” spiritual life coach Cristina Lopez explains on her podcast. “Most likely, these relationships are what are called karmic relationships, and here’s the honest truth about them: You don’t want to stay in these relationships for too long.”
But what are karmic relationships, and do they always cause trouble? Here’s everything you need to know about karmic relationships, according to psychologists and spiritual experts.
What is causality?
Although this word karmic relationship It’s not officially used in psychotherapy or even religion, but it does have ancient spiritual roots. As you may have guessed, the term comes from the Buddhist and Hindu concept of karma.
Simply put, karma is the belief that actions and actions have consequences—and in some Eastern religions, it is believed that these consequences will affect not only your current life, but also your next life. Therefore, many believe that karmic relationships are a manifestation of unfinished business from a previous life: two souls meeting again to wrap up what was left unfinished before. Others believe that karmic relationships are simply about reaping what we sow. Priscila Lima de Charbonnières, astrologer, author, life coach, and founder of the Soulloop app, explains: “Every action we take causes a compatible reaction, whether positive or negative.”
However, karmic relationships are not precisely defined. The term has only become popular in the past few decades and cannot be traced to a single source. Not everyone who uses the term agrees on its exact meaning, or that all karmic relationships are even necessarily “bad.” In fact, many experts say every Our relationship can be viewed as karma. “No one comes into our lives by accident,” Lima de Charbonnières said. “We attract people with compatible and complementary frequencies into our energy field. Karmic relationships are the result of the Law of Attraction – every relationship has different levels of karmic elements.”
