4 Signs of a Karmic Lesson and 5 Ways to Welcome Them

Pema Chodron said, “Nothing ever goes away until it teaches us what we need to know,” and I completely agree with her.

This quote is an excellent example of how the philosophy that underlies the karmic lessons can be summed up.

Karmic lessons are based on unresolved challenges that we faced in past lives that haven’t taught us the lessons we were supposed to learn.

Lessons from our past lives can carry over into the present as a result of karmic lessons, and the insights they provide are invaluable.

Karmic lessons point out, from a purely practical standpoint, the flaws in our personalities that need to be worked on in order to support personal growth.

Today we talk about the common signs of a karmic lesson. But before we get into that, let’s first talk about what karma and karmic lessons actually mean.

 

 

Karma and Karmic Lessons

Karma and Karmic Lessons

“Time and circumstances can change at any time. Don’t let anyone else devalue or bring you down. You can be powerful today, but remember, time is stronger than you! One tree makes a million matches…only one match stick is needed to burn a million trees. So be good and do good.”

The concept of karma refers to a spiritual principle that is based on cause and effect. To put it another way, the things you did in this life and in past lives (the cause) influence your destiny in this life and in the future existence (the effect).

The karmic lessons are issues and situations from a past life that we did not deal with.

However, there were important lessons to be learned from those experiences, and as a result, they reappear in our current life so that our soul can learn what it failed to learn in the past life.

If you believe in karma, you probably know that a soul must learn all of its lessons before it is ready to attain nirvana, even if that means spreading the lessons over several lifetimes.

We are given the opportunity to learn the necessary lessons for us to become better versions of ourselves. Once we learn what we should learn, situations stop repeating themselves and life becomes more peaceful and fulfilling.

These repeating patterns can also sometimes be seen in karmic relationships, as they are characterized by incoming and outgoing ties and facing the same kind of problems.

Each karmic lesson has a unique purpose. The following is a list of some of the most common and consistent themes of these spiritual lessons:

  • To show us new ways to connect with ourselves and the people in our lives.
  • To teach us the right ways to love.
  • To teach us how to let go.
  • To make us realize our self-worth.

Now I’ll go through 4 common signs that you are going through a karmic lesson, and I’ll give you 5 ways that you can incorporate them into your life.

Another clear sign of a karmic lesson is if you find that most of your relationships, whether romantic or platonic, are plagued by the same issues. You may struggle with issues like always falling for a narcissist or getting too attached to someone.

If you keep running into the same red flags, it simply indicates that there is a karmic lesson you need to learn in order to break the repeating pattern of things.

One of the most obvious signs that there may be a karmic lesson to be learned is the fact that you are constantly having to deal with these kinds of situations.
