5 Clues You’re Stuck in a Karmic Relationship – Finding love, especially romantic love, is a universal goal that we all share. Our lives rarely feel complete without it. But if you’re experiencing negativity in a relationship, whether it’s with a family member, a friend or a romantic partner, how do you know when it’s time to end things and move on?
Chances are, you’re involved in a karmic relationship, which I define as one that is meant to help you learn and grow by choosing to empower yourself over negativity and ultimately leave the relationship. Karma is simply the energy of a choice you made in past or present life that did not serve your soul growth and evolution, something that is highly individual and based on your soul’s chosen life experiences for your incarnation.
Laws of karma say that a negative choice will persist until balanced out by a new empowered choice, no matter how long or how many lifetimes it might take. This kind of spiritual information can be accessed in your Akashic Record, which is the energetic database for the soul, recording all of the choices you’ve ever made as a soul in physical form as part of your soul blueprint. This is because we incarnate as humans into a free-will environment. When we study why we made certain choices in the past, it helps us understand how we arrived at our current circumstances. If we don’t like our current circumstances, we are free to change them at any time simply by making a new choice. But we all know how difficult that can be, especially when it comes to those we love.
There are often many signs right in front of us that indicate it’s time to move on from a relationship. However, it’s the willingness to see those signs that can be problematic, because we’ve been taught that if someone doesn’t love us, then we are missing out on an essential aspect of life. Or worse, we think there is something inherently wrong with us, so ego tells us we need to work harder to earn their love and acceptance. These kinds of limiting beliefs can keep you stuck in negative, unresolved, karmic relationships for multiple lifetimes, while also stopping you from manifesting the kind of abundance you deserve due to the Law of Attraction. If we continue to choose lack and limitation by staying in a negative relationship, then that is all that the universe can deliver. Here are just a few signs indicating that you are probably involved in a negative, karmic relationship and it’s time to move on:
You can’t be your authentic self You are meant to express your authentic self at all times without fear of judgement or abandonment. If you are choosing to suppress yourself or your desires in hopes of receiving approval or to feel accepted in some way, that is a negative pattern you want to break by removing or distancing yourself from the relationship.
You constantly feel guilt, shame or obligation If you feel these types of emotional reactions to someone, it’s either your limiting beliefs and untruths at play or it’s being projected upon you by the other person. Either way, you want to validate those feelings and emotions by examining why they are coming up for you, and work through ways to resolve them. Operating from negative emotion keeps you small and in a place of disempowerment, which will limit your flow of abundance.
You’re always walking on eggshells If someone has a hair trigger, it’s not your responsibility to make them feel better. On the contrary, this is indicative of their own karmic baggage that they are bringing to the relationship and therefore up to them to resolve. Living in fear or anxiety that someone will either fall apart or become abusive toward you at any time for no particular reason is simply handing over your personal power to them on a silver platter.
You experience control, manipulation or dependence You are a sovereign being of light and are not meant to be under the direct control of another person. If you are in a relationship with someone who is overly dependent upon you, or constantly questioning or mistrusting you without giving them any reason to do so, this is likely a relationship you’ve repeated over multiple lifetimes. No matter how much you might love someone, it is better to release yourself from their control or risk attracting more situations that require your dependence and submission.
The relationship is a roller-coaster of drama Aligned relationships are ones that make you feel loved and supported unconditionally. They give energy to you, and you feel better and more uplifted for having that person in your space. If you’re experiencing a relationship that is drama filled and emotionally exhausting, you are in an imbalanced relationship where the other person is taking much more from you than you are receiving.
Relationships are meant to be an even exchange of energy, and it’s up to each of us to uphold healthy boundaries to keep our energy and vibration high.
