Today's talk is karma and family. Taylor Swift says karma is my boyfriend, Karma is a god, And she describes the energy of karma in her new song. So what is karma? And how do we know if we're in a karmic relationship? Well, Loosely defined, It is unresolved past stuff. Unresolved past stuff you might have had with an individual and it's coming back to you in this lifetime and it's showing up as a really intense, Frustrating, Hard relationship. And karmic relationships have high highs, Low lows, And there's a lot of struggle within the dynamic. It's something that you probably feel isn't quite right or healthy or even good for you, But you just can't help it. You keep coming back and no matter what you do, No matter how much you try, How much you try to heal and work through it and put in the effort, There's still this dynamic of struggle and hardship. So this is karmic relationships that often show up in our family system. You want to go to the source of your most challenging relationships, Go to your family. Like Ram Dass said, If you think you're enlightened, Go spend a week with your family. And what can we do when we feel this intense frustration with someone we know? So whether it is a coworker, A lover, A family member, What is it that we can start to do to begin healing and finding resolve within ourselves? Well first I think it's recognizing the red flags that this is a karmic relationship. And that's often what happens is that we ignore the red flags early on or we're in denial of it or we stay within the dysfunction of the dynamic because we might have to, Especially if we're part of the same family, Where now you're having to adapt and adjust in order to even function within that system. So whatever system it is, Whether it's the corporation, It's a group or an individual, Noticing when we feel like we have to compromise, Walk on eggshells, Adapt and adjust just to be part of the system. So first it's taking time to acknowledge that this has a quality of energy to it. So whether or not you believe in karma, You can just call it intense, Difficult relationship. If that is more suitable for you, That's what you can call it. Intense and difficult filled with these red flags, Filled with something that feels toxic, Unhealthy. So what can we really do? And that is the first step is to look at the truth of reality. This is the nature, The quality of the relationship that I'm facing. And oftentimes there's a very strong magnetic energy. So it's almost like you're magnetized to this other person. And that's also causing that rub and that tension and that conflict is just this intense magnetism that goes back and forth. There's a strong push pull that can happen. And also the current of negative emotion that flows back and forth between you and the other. So there's a quality of emotion that's there, The frustration, The upset, The resentment, The anger, Qualities of abandonment and rejection that can be there. That's also, You know, One of the key things is crumbing when you feel like you're being fed breadcrumbs by the other and you know that that isn't a good thing and you feel desperate for those breadcrumbs, But you keep going back for more. So that addictive quality that's repetitive, You know, There's a repetition and karmic energy, Repetition of the same hard lessons, The same hurts, The same kind of suffering. So it's marked by this pain and suffering, Attraction, Magnetism, Repetition and patterning. And that's how we know it has this karmic quality. So recognizing these things and accepting that they're there and that, Yes, I'm still feeling drawn. I'm still attracted, Even though I know it's not really good for me or it's healthy. So the first step is learning how to release your attention from the other, Because in karmic relationships, There's a really strong, Intense focus on the other, What the other is or isn't doing, The blaming, The focus of attention and love towards the other. And it's about turning, Releasing your attention from the other and turning your attention towards yourself. And now learning how to resource yourself, Return to your center and ground yourself in your own self, Your own reality. And it's then that we can begin to reflect on what is happening. What is this dynamic? What is the dynamic of this relationship showing me? What is it that I'm here to learn? So karmic relationships have a purpose. Oftentimes they tend to be more short-lived when they're not experienced within the family unit because they're just at such a high intensity level. They're not a sustainable kind of relationship. Although we do see people get married when in karmic relationships, Like Jill, An example of that would be Will and Jada Smith. That's an example of a celebrity relationship that's very karmic, Pamela Lee Anderson and Tommy Jones, Right? That intense attraction and they got married right away, I think within the first few dates of their relationship. So and that, That really blew up. And so we see, And then you see relationships that don't have that karmic nature and examples of that in celebrity relationships would be Oprah and her partner Stedman, Goldie Hawn and Kurt Russell are an example. So we see, And they don't even get married, But they have this long sustaining relationship. And even when you see these couples together, It just seems right. So if you are in a karmic situation and experiencing the same kind of pains over and over again, Whether it's, You know, Loved one or a partner, What we can do is know that there is a purpose and that purpose is growth. They're for you to become more empowered in who you are. It's not there just to cause suffering. They're there to really activate and initiate intense growth for you. And sometimes we can, In these karmic relationships, Give a lot of ourselves away, Our power and our energy. And so that's why it's important to learn how to release that negative attachment within the relationship, Energetically release, You ground it, Let it go so that we can let go of that, That funnel that's moving back and forth between you and the other and resource within the self. And that's why when you break up from a karmic relationship, Even if it's within the family, It can feel painful because you have shared energy and it can often feel like such a loss, Such a tremendous loss, Like you've lost a limb, You've lost a part of yourself because you have, You know, You've shared this energy, A third energy, This auric energy with someone else. And now you have to reformulate and find your center again. So it takes time and it starts with this, Let me release this negative attachment that I have to the other and the focus on the other and how they're making me feel crazy. And let me come back to myself and breathe. So those questions are, What's the lesson that's here for me? What's the lesson that's here for me? Where can I grow? Where can I mature? What can I let go of? We can also ask what and who, Who can I accept? And then starting to focus on your inner prayer for yourself and the relationship. What's your prayer? What's the intention that you'd like to experience knowing what you know, Knowing the reality? What's your intention? Because it is possible to transform karmic relationships, Especially when we can learn how to energetically navigate and learn how to forgive most especially ourselves and also the other. And the reason forgiveness is so important is that often in karmic relationships, We're beating ourselves up, You know, Like, Why didn't I listen? Why did I get into this? How did I get trapped in this? And there's a lot of beating up of the self. And it's important to learn how to forgive ourselves and give ourselves the love that we need to move forward and release the, I would say, The bound feeling of a karmic relationship. Thanks so much for listening to today's talk.
