Ending Karmic Cycles and Post-Traumatic Stress

It's time to plant the seeds of happiness and watch them bloom. Tend to your garden by ending karmic cycles and healing from PTSD, and savor the sweet fruits of a joyful life.

As human beings, we all have a past. Some of it is filled with sunshine, and some of it with storms. But what happens when the storms of our past start to affect our present and our future? Negative karma and PTSD can weigh us down like an anchor, keeping us from sailing towards the shore of happiness and wellbeing. However, just like a butterfly emerging from a cocoon or a blooming flower shedding its old petals, we too have the power to break free from the chains of our past traumas. In this article, we’ll explore transformative tips for ending karmic cycles and overcoming PTSD, allowing us to embrace the beauty of a fresh start and unlock the key to true happiness.

The karmic cycle can be compared to a pile of stones on the beach, each rock representing a past action or thought. Over time, as we continue to add stones to the pile, it grows taller and heavier, making it harder to move or change course. But just like a pile of stones, our karma is not permanent.

What is a karmic cycle?

The karmic cycle is the way that karma works in the lives of people through different situations and life events that we must undergo in order to learn a soul lesson. That lesson will eventually set us free from inner obstacles, which include bad thought patterns that manifest as misfortunes in our life.

Ending karmic cycles is possible through purification as the embodied soul no longer needs to cling to the past but begins to identify as a child of God!

How can you end a karmic cycle?

There are many situations in life, especially those concerning relationships with others, where there is a desire to end patterns of feeling and behavior that have been long standing but that do not contribute to our well being. Often, the way to end these patterns seems elusive. The situation can be difficult, both spiritually, emotionally, and physically. For years of living with fear or other intense emotions and the stress this creates can take their toll and establish energetic circuits within the brain and body that constitute the basis for post-traumatic stress. This is a condition which activates the same physical and emotional responses in a person, even when the stressor is no longer present.

Deep roots of intense emotions can be likened to a towering tree with roots that run so deep they seem to touch the core of the earth. Just as a tree's roots anchor it firmly in the soil, our intense emotions are rooted deep within us, anchoring us to our past experiences and shaping our present and future.

Just as a tree’s roots anchor it firmly in the soil, our intense emotions are rooted deep within us, anchoring us to our past experiences and shaping our present and future.

Deep Roots of Intense Emotions

In relation to extricating oneself from such long standing patterns of engagement with another, whether a parent, child, friend, or partner, what is most important to recognize is that inner conditions of feeling and consciousness determine the outer. We are forever and at all times creating our own reality. Therefore, if one were able to change the inner conditions of emotion and reaction that have played themselves out for a very long time, the outer conditions would also change.

Intense emotions and the recurrent behaviors they lead to often have deep roots, not only when specific traumatic circumstances that we recognize have taken place and left an indelible imprint on our hearts, but also when such emotions or behaviors have played a part in our soul’s history in other lifetimes, constituting a major emotional thread that binds us together with others — the victim to the oppressor, the oppressor to the victim; the rejected to the rejector, and visa versa. Often, in the course of successive lifetimes, souls have experiences with being on both sides of an equation, sometimes more on one side, sometimes more on the other.

Overcoming Negative Emotions with Inner Peace

For many reasons, then, intense emotions that repeat in the context of relationship or in response to specific types of situations can become deeply ingrained in the circuitry of the body and psyche so that they keep circulating through the emotional and spiritual bloodstream, and so they continue to act as a catalyzing force in the shaping of external reality.

What may influence this picture in a different direction? That which overcomes all negative emotion, creating a sense of peace, light, and of God’s presence. These inner conditions need to be strong enough to form the basis for a new identity and a new identification so that when the situation of the past seems present, a new set of responses can be evoked.

For this to happen when there has not been a great deal of trauma in the past is easier than when there has. Post-traumatic stress creates difficulty in establishing and maintaining new responses (such as relationships) because of the internal ‘wiring’ that has already taken place, and so it becomes even more important where this is true, to find ways of anchoring oneself strongly in a place of light.

Energetic Changes to Shift Identity

Energetic changes of a more deliberate kind may be needed for this purpose — a change in those whom one associates with in order to reinforce the presence of light; the commitment to a spiritual practice that can bring light into the body; a change in diet so that the body can let go more easily of former energetic patterns it has been holding onto; and sometimes a cleansing diet, repeated periodically, so that the cells and tissues can free themselves more effectively from the emotional and physical toxins that they have been carrying.

It is understandable to be distressed by the difficulty of overcoming what has happened in the past that now lives within our body. Nevertheless, it is possible to do so by working toward shifting our identity to a different foundation so that we no longer identify with the events of the past, but have a new focus and a new orientation within ourselves and with God. Increasing light on the Earth at this time will help this process along, but patience is also needed.

Lessons Learned from Intense Emotions

Intense emotions and the circumstances which created them often come into this lifetime with an incarnating soul, allowing one to learn from them the lessons of life and love. What these lessons are will vary from person to person, but they are always present, even during the most painful of times. Frequently, the learning has to do with the strengthening of an inner sense of self that experiences wholeness within the self rather than seeking it without, this being the cause of many dysfunctional relationships.

When this is the case, what is needed is the seeking, in all ways available, of the strengthening of oneself and the cleansing of one’s emotional and physical body so that it can carry more light and so that new energetic configurations can result. There are forms of energetic healing that will help with this, and there is also often a need to change one’s diet so that it supports holding greater light in the body.

Finding a new place of identity that allows one to stand firm and feel whole in the face of life’s challenges can be likened to a lighthouse standing tall amidst the stormy sea. Despite the winds and waves that may batter it, the lighthouse remains anchored and steady, shining its light out into the darkness to guide and illuminate the way.

Feeling Whole Instead of Reactive

In the new place of identity, instead of feeling reactive and helpless in the face of repeating patterns, one begins to feel whole, and instead of feeling at the mercy of overpowering currents that sweep through one’s life, one begins to stand with God at the center, able to feel a unity of wholeness in all parts.

Natural End of Karmic Relationships

Karmic relationships naturally end when the debt is resolved, the lesson is learned, the pattern understood, or when Spirit determines it’s time for you to move on, and perhaps readdress a certain challenge sometime in the future!

Conclusion

In conclusion, our lives are like a garden, with seeds planted from our past experiences and relationships. Just as a gardener tends to their plants, we too must nurture ourselves with light, love, and healing. It is possible to transform the soil of our past, to uproot the weeds that strangle us, and to let go of the old patterns that keep us stuck.

With patience and persistence, we can create a beautiful garden filled with vibrant, healthy growth. And just as a garden attracts birds and butterflies, our own inner light will attract those who nourish and support our growth. So let us tend to our inner gardens, allowing them to bloom with the fullness of our being, and radiate their beauty into the world.
