How to Recognize If You Have a Bad Karma and What to Do to Heal It

Do you feel like you may have bad karma?

Karma (a concept taken from Indian spirituality) is the repetition of certain events with the purpose to heal and change you spiritually. The effect of past actions is unavoidable and sometimes a situation can repeat itself over and over again until you finally understand what you need to heal or change about yourself.

You will continue to attract the same negative energy through people or environment until you discover the weak area of your personality, of your spirit or of your actions.

For example, you have recently changed your job. It is a different office, different people, but the tense atmosphere and connection with your co-workers are similar to the previous job. The same struggle and lack of improvement can appear in your personal relationships: you have constant arguments with your partner, your issues with the family members seem to appear now and again – sometimes, for the same reason that occurred in the past.

So all these familiar and repetitive vibrational situations that seem to never break through, try to show you that a change is necessary in order for you to heal from the past and move forward to where you want to be.

Here are a few steps which should give you an insight into how to heal your bad karma:

1. Recognize the Karma

Wherever you will go or whoever you will meet, you will face the same situation under different circumstances. For example, you tend to argue when somebody has a different opinion than you which usually leads to heated arguments and you do not think there is anything wrong with being strongly opinionated.

This type of situations you create keeps people away from you or they might find it difficult to be themselves around you. You feel isolated in a way and you wonder why you cannot create a stable friendship.

This is one of the karmic obstacles that can prevent you from evolving spiritually, but a karmic obstacle can be anything repetitive that happens or you do in your life.

2. Be awake

In order to recognize your bad karma, you need to be awake, in touch with your spiritual needs and realize who or what your obstacles are. Sometimes we allow people to hurt us, we allow certain situations to repeat or we are simply not fully aware of our strengths.

Why? Because we are not spiritually awake; we let things happen without being in charge of our karma.

3. Make a change

Once you realize the reason why bad karma keeps repeating in your life, the next step is to make a change. If you have unhealthy relationships and there is no longer a way to save them, give up on people who hurt you.

If you understood where the mistake in your personality or action is, make a change, be kinder, be forgiving, be calm or be more confident, be tougher. Put into practice what you wish to happen, define what you expect from yourself and from your life or simply apply the suggestions that life makes you through repetitive sounds, words or situations.

4. Control your attitude…..

Your attitude about life, people or situation is sent out in the world and it will come back at you. Be relaxed, be positive, because what you give is what you get. Any negative thought you have about yourself or the world should be changed in positive thinking.

5. …and your reaction

The way we think or feel about something is reflected in our behavior. Certain situations repeat in our lives in order to help us change the way we deal with people around us, with objects or with the environment.

A classic example of bad karma, suggested by New Ager David Isaacson, is the family connection: the man yells at his wife, who yells at her son, who kicks the dog who bites the father. If you control your thinking, you control your reaction and therefore, you control your karma.

Karma is not a punishment but a teacher

Be responsible and awake, try to recognize your obstacle and remove it. As long as there are unresolved or unchanged energies in your life, you will not break the circle.

If you feel that you deal with bad karma or you have managed to change it, please share or debate with us!

  • I don't know why I'm living this tough life, I will never know why I have a so bad karma. It seems that all my life is about limitation. My family always limited me with judgements and punishments despite the fact I was a kind child, my physics healt is limited because of some sort of unknown genetic disorder. My comunication with people is limited, so my social life is limited too. My self confidence is very limited. Now I'm an adult and I feel that my life is limited by a job I never felt comfortable at, a boss who doesn't like me and is very unsipathetic and smacks down my just limited self confidence, and finally a low wage that limits my economic indipendence.
    What can this life teach to me? I feel so uncomfortable.

    • I changed my life I bartender my way through college, I have found out I was going down the right path, doors started opening. I believe we are here to help people no matter how small you may think it is. Give a smile, call the cashier by their names. Open a door. My spirit is kinder, when you do something for someone else, your karma will change! You will become more at peace I love myself I for give myself that's a hard one but it does work. I say Pat I love you, I love my brain, I love my stomach, kidney heart spleen, every thing every day. We all have a soul anything that grows love it forgive it. I live in a two room house and I am as happy as if I was living in the finest house. may your soul bless you with peace love forgiveness.

    • No No No you have limited yourself you are letting people rule you and your feelings do not take this, you are a special person how do I know this because your soul is a blessing and you have not learned this, when you do all kinds of doors will be opened to you blessing upon blessing but you really have to learn this. Start loving yourself and love the people who do these things forgive them they need to learn. Lift people up even if you do not believe this, your life will change.

  • I need help as well from the beginning of my life it's been tough. Coming from a poor family. As I became a teenager I was angry ,violate. Been in and out of lock of facilities. When I finally got out I was different kinder Will give the shirt off my back. Head two daughters work hard to provide for them still struggling. Kids father murdered. Income still the same 10 years later . Bad with love. They turn they're backs on me quick. It's like I'm spinning my wheels. I'm a very sweet person forgiven ppl that hurt me. Still unappreciated. Family talks about me. I still show love. All my friends gone. I'm alone 90 percent of my life besides my kids being with me.
    Oldest daughter seems not too like me. I break my neck for her. Again I never have money got more bills then I have money. But yet I get up and go to work everyday. Like a responsible adult every car I get . Gets repossessed. Man I tell you . Crazy because I am a honest person. I don't steal. I never try and get over on no one.
    Life is trying to tear me apart I am 34 years old. Still having trouble being successful. Everything I touch crumbles. People see me I'm always smiling given good advise they have no clue how hurt in the inside I am!6

  • I know I have bad karma and I keep making the same mistakes over and over again. I have no control no matter what I do. Thought I met my soul mate but now not only has he gone whenever he talks to me he is aggressive. But the break up was not my fault, It’s christmas know he is going to have a great time. Meantime my illness prevents me doing this. I need guidance.

  • I made a mistake last year and partied with drugs and a girl Amber.My husband forgives me but Karma is so bad I don't want to leave the house.Everywere I go I see lookalikes and what is everybody names Amber.Ive had it it's a joke like everybody knows what I did last summer.Like a few lines of speed mean s karma can't forgive.
