We\u2019ve all been through that one karmic relationship that might have felt like rainbows and butterflies at the beginning.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It might\u2019ve been filled with crazy adventures or rocky mountains to climb. And if it has ended, it might\u2019ve collapsed with a campfire that burned everything to the ground. Metaphorically speaking, of course.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you are looking for help on how to clean up the ashes and rebuild your life, this is where Mindvalley can come to support you along your journey.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\" id=\"heading1\">The Beatles said, \u201c<em>All you need is love<\/em>,\u201d but sometimes, in a difficult relationship, having only love isn\u2019t enough. The good news is that you can heal from the patterns holding you back and create the healthy relationships you deserve. Here, you can take the first step.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-what-is-a-karmic-relationship\">What Is a Karmic Relationship?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A karmic relationship is an intense connection where both partners feel crazy in love with each other but encounter numerous difficulties in maintaining the relationship. The passion that draws them together often feels like a magical out-of-this-world kind of relation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">However, because these strong connections are based on <a href=\"https:\/\/blog.mindvalley.com\/sadghuru-what-is-karma\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">karma<\/a>, they are meant to teach you the lessons your soul needs to learn in this life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The masters of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/History-Religious-Ideas-Vol-Christianity\/dp\/0226204030\/ref=sr_1_3?crid=MO120MO95ZA&amp;keywords=mircea+eliade+a+history+of+religious+ideas&amp;qid=1661869124&amp;s=books&amp;sprefix=mircea+eliade+%2Cstripbooks-intl-ship%2C526&amp;sr=1-3\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Hindu and Buddhist philosophy<\/a> believed that souls make \u201ccontracts\u201d to meet each other before incarnating on this Earth. This way, they agree to learn important lessons together through overcoming hardships and intense uncertainty in the physical world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-karmic-relationship-vs-twin-flame-vs-soulmate\">Karmic relationship vs. twin flame vs. soulmate<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Karmic partners, twin flames, and soulmates are all karmic relationships whose purpose is your evolution and growth. The difference between these lies in the modality they show up in your life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Karmic partners.<\/strong> They are meant to be more temporary. You meet them and you connect, but it\u2019s more like an episode of your favorite show rather than the plot of the whole sequel.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Twin flames.<\/strong> When you meet your <a href=\"https:\/\/blog.mindvalley.com\/what-is-a-twin-flame\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">twin flame<\/a>, you will feel like looking into a mirror. You\u2019ll notice similarities in your core values, passions, desires, and life vision. Because there\u2019re so many things alike, your traumas and triggers will be similar, and that\u2019s why the difficulties won\u2019t cease to occur during the relationship.<br><br>It\u2019s like dealing with your deepest wounds and insecurities multiplied by two, with the purpose of your <a href=\"https:\/\/blog.mindvalley.com\/spiritual-awakening-story\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">spiritual awakening<\/a> and grasping crucial lessons for your soul to ascend.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Soulmates.<\/strong> On the other hand, <a href=\"https:\/\/blog.mindvalley.com\/twin-flame-vs-soulmate\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">soulmates<\/a> are those people that are complementary to you. You feel the connection, but it\u2019s not fireworks from the beginning. Your relationship will grow at a slower pace, and they wouldn\u2019t necessarily shake the grounds of your life.<br><br>Soulmates are a slow sunrise, while karmic partners and twin flames can feel like that moment when someone unexpectedly turns on the bright light in a room where you\u2019ve enjoyed the darkness for a while.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-stages-of-a-karmic-relationship\">Stages of a karmic relationship<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Step by step, as the saying goes. And when it comes to karmic relationships, it\u2019s no different. Here are the stages you go through:&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Out-of-this-world romance. <\/strong>You meet them, and all of a sudden, life doesn\u2019t make sense without this person. All you need is love. Their love.&nbsp;<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<ol start=\"2\" class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>You can\u2019t get enough. <\/strong>You feel so much passion and love for this person that no amount of dates, time, words, or precious moments you share, nothing seems like enough.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<ol start=\"3\" class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Drama starts to rise. <\/strong>Although you still love each other so much, drama slowly slips into your relationship. And as intense the love has been up until now, as fiery the drama.&nbsp;<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<ol start=\"4\" class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>You get addicted to the pattern. <\/strong>Love, fight, want to break up, but then love again, then fight again, and the pattern keeps repeating itself\u2026again.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<ol start=\"5\" class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Breaking the karmic bond. <\/strong>This is where the lessons are learned and where the purpose reveals itself. It\u2019s the most painful part of the process.&nbsp;<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\" id=\"heading2\">One good pop culture example to depict all the stages of a karmic relationship would be Joe and Love from the Netflix series <a href=\"https:\/\/www.imdb.com\/title\/tt7335184\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><em>You<\/em><\/a>.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-full\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"799\" src=\"https:\/\/storage.googleapis.com\/mv-prod-blog-en-assets\/2022\/09\/f0153d3b-karmic-relationship-signs-unsplash-frank-mckenna-1-1.jpg\" alt=\"Karmic relationship\" class=\"wp-image-64786\" srcset=\"https:\/\/storage.googleapis.com\/mv-prod-blog-en-assets\/2022\/09\/f0153d3b-karmic-relationship-signs-unsplash-frank-mckenna-1-1.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/storage.googleapis.com\/mv-prod-blog-en-assets\/2022\/09\/f0153d3b-karmic-relationship-signs-unsplash-frank-mckenna-1-1-768x511.jpg 768w, https:\/\/storage.googleapis.com\/mv-prod-blog-en-assets\/2022\/09\/f0153d3b-karmic-relationship-signs-unsplash-frank-mckenna-1-1-736x491.jpg 736w, https:\/\/storage.googleapis.com\/mv-prod-blog-en-assets\/2022\/09\/f0153d3b-karmic-relationship-signs-unsplash-frank-mckenna-1-1-442x295.jpg 442w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-how-to-know-if-you-re-in-a-karmic-relationship-5-signs-to-watch-out-for\">How to Know If You\u2019re in a Karmic Relationship: 5 Signs to Watch Out For<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The reality is, you will know when a relationship is karmic because it\u2019s probably very particular and different from other romantic experiences you\u2019ve had. But here\u2019s a list of signs to look out for:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-1-instant-connection\">#1: Instant connection<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Your first encounter was likely passionate, magical, and seemed surreal. You might have felt like you\u2019ve known them from another life. And that\u2019s because you probably have.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As mentioned, some Eastern religions describe karmic relationships as a meeting between two souls to burn the unresolved karma from previous lives. It\u2019s a spiritual way to let go and set your soul free.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-2-red-flags\">#2: Red flags<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Oh, the magic of red flags. You see them, you sense danger, but you decide to ignore them.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">And many times after you break the bond of a karmic relationship, you notice all the moments when the signs were clear, but you refused to acknowledge them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">What\u2019s even more interesting is that people around you are probably telling you how they see this relationship objectively. And it\u2019s not similar to the ideal depiction created subjectively in your mind.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-3-you-live-to-extremes\">#3: You live to extremes<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">One day, you\u2019re deeply in love, and the next, you\u2019re playing an intense game of \u201che said, she said.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This is how most karmic relationships go, as much as you love your partner, as deeply you can despise their actions, behavior, and attitude. They trigger your wounds and reflect your most profound fears.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-4-your-energy-is-depleting\">#4: Your energy is depleting<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Despite the special moments you share together and the love you carry for each other, you might feel like your energy is slowly leaking out of your system.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">That happens because the intensity of a relationship is fascinating in the beginning, but after a while, having your body in a constant state of high vigilance will be draining out your resources.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">When you fall in love, you may feel the butterflies you \u2014 in biological terms, cortisol (widely known as the stress hormone) being released into your system. And living in a constant state of stress doesn\u2019t seem supportive of your energy levels, right?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-5-you-want-to-let-go-but-feel-like-you-can-t\">#5: You want to let go, but feel like you can\u2019t<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Not knowing how to end a karmic relationship is a clear sign that you are in one. It\u2019s like a toxic habit that you know is hurting you, but can\u2019t seem to ever go away, no matter how hard you try. And it seems like life will end when you aren\u2019t with this person anymore.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\" id=\"heading3\">But when you take that leap of faith, you\u2019ll see how life can blossom unexpectedly again. With compassion and love for yourself, you can and you will be able to heal. Slowly but surely.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-how-to-heal-from-a-breakup-after-a-karmic-relationship\">How to Heal From a Breakup After a Karmic Relationship<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Katherine Woodward Thomas<\/strong>, psychotherapist and relationship expert, and <strong>Marie Diamond<\/strong>, renowned energy healer share a few practices to heal your wounded heart after an intense relationship.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">When you choose to change your life by attracting the right things, people, and outcomes in your life, you need to start feeling compassionate about what you have attracted so far.<\/p>\n<cite>\u2014 Marie Diamond, trainer of Mindvalley\u2019s <em>Success Magic<\/em> Quest<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-1-let-go-of-shame-and-feel-the-feelings\">#1: Let go of shame and feel the feelings<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">When going through a breakup after an intense relationship, a lot of shame might rise up to the surface. Shame that maybe you haven\u2019t done enough to keep the relationship going. Or shame that you didn\u2019t fulfill the \u201chappily ever after myth\u201d that runs through the veins of our society.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Katherine Woodward Thomas emphasizes the concept of <strong>\u201chappily even after.\u201d<\/strong> Happy that you learned valuable lessons that will empower your growth. And happy that you had the unshakable courage to let go of something that no longer served you.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">So celebrating even going through the hard times will paradoxically accelerate the whole healing process. David Hawkins, a globally celebrated psychiatrist and founder of the <em>Institute for Spiritual Research<\/em>, has spent his life researching the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Letting-David-Hawkins-M-D-Ph-D\/dp\/1401945015\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">effects of letting go<\/a> of emotions without repressing or trying to change them in any way.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">What he found was that once emotions are truly felt and let go, instead of running away and bottling them up, the process of healing occurs faster and somehow naturally.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">So, feel your feelings. It\u2019s not as overrated as you might have thought.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-2-write-a-letter-of-forgiveness\">#2: Write a letter of forgiveness<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Marie Diamond shares a beautiful practice of forgiveness and releasing resentment that holds you back from moving forward. Write a <strong>forgiveness letter<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">What\u2019s important to keep in mind, she says, it\u2019s knowing that the letter will be written to the soul of the person, not to their ego. So write down everything you wished you could have shared with them. Write about all the pain they caused and all the broken pieces of your heart you\u2019re still trying to put back together.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You can write down all the hate, hurt, and frustration, but also the lessons you\u2019ve learned, the appreciation for special moments, and the positive impact they\u2019ve had on your life forever.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">When you\u2019re done, Marie recommends signing the letter and burning it at noon, on a sunny day. According to her, the reason for that is the high level of <em>chi <\/em>(life force energy) you have during that time of the day, therefore a maximum capacity for letting go of resentment and moving on with your healing process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"800\" src=\"https:\/\/storage.googleapis.com\/mv-prod-blog-en-assets\/2022\/09\/c1086e63-karmic-relationship-marie-diamond-mindvalley-1-1.jpg\" alt=\"Marie Diamond on karmic relationships\" class=\"wp-image-64788\" srcset=\"https:\/\/storage.googleapis.com\/mv-prod-blog-en-assets\/2022\/09\/c1086e63-karmic-relationship-marie-diamond-mindvalley-1-1.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/storage.googleapis.com\/mv-prod-blog-en-assets\/2022\/09\/c1086e63-karmic-relationship-marie-diamond-mindvalley-1-1-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/storage.googleapis.com\/mv-prod-blog-en-assets\/2022\/09\/c1086e63-karmic-relationship-marie-diamond-mindvalley-1-1-736x491.jpg 736w, https:\/\/storage.googleapis.com\/mv-prod-blog-en-assets\/2022\/09\/c1086e63-karmic-relationship-marie-diamond-mindvalley-1-1-442x295.jpg 442w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Marie Diamond, trainer of Mindvalley&#8217;s <em>Success Magic<\/em> Quest<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-3-begin-with-your-future\">#3: Begin with your future<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">When you clear out old energy and you\u2019re open to finding new love again, Katherine recommends that you always <strong>begin with your future<\/strong>.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you\u2019re wondering how to find love, wonder no more. The first step is to focus on the future you\u2019re aspiring to create. If you\u2019re directing your energy into what happened in the past and how terribly hurt you\u2019ve been, you will just make the pain grow.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">So you can now give your gentle heart a well-deserved break and imagine the most wonderful future you\u2019re yearning for because it\u2019s possible. Set an intention for the relationship you most desire to create.

In the end, you will find the true love of your life when you figure out that <em>you <\/em>are the love of your life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">And how would you treat this person knowing that they hold all the love you\u2019ve ever craved for?
