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 am being hit with a lot of things😔 I’m 35, the last relationship I got out of at 28. At that time I saw the cycle and I knew if I wanted to avoid that pain again I needed to change. Fast forward to know, I have spent several years in therapy so far, I read, I use a microscope to examine my behaviors.. but the first time I find someone I care about, I did everything I had done in the past all over again.. I thought it was that I needed to learn how to love myself. Once achieved obviously I can love someone else right?? It turns out my real issue is abandonment. I went from creating re-abandonment through my fears and unreasonable expectations of my partner, to just straight up avoiding relationships all together, and back to driving them away same as before. This is all fresh, we quit talking almost 2 weeks ago. I pushed and pushed just like before and got the same exact result… Since learning from this I have done so much, writing down everything I think and feel so I can share it with my therapist and get through this so I can move on. I joined a gym to help me vent and feel better about my body that I let go more than I wished I had. I found a abandonment support group that is going to help and teach me tools to fight the fear that comes the second I care about someone.. I have to learn how to reassure myself rather than expecting it from my lover, or anyone from that matter.. its hurts, My heart is so heavy, but now I can grow and begin this process and make sure it never happens again.. I genuinely loved this one, the most perfect soul I have ever met. I felt like I lost my actual soulmate 😭 It’s hard not to hate myself these days, but all I can do is my best, and that is exactly what I am doing..

    1. Nena

      Hi. Don’t hate yourself, the whole point is to love and accept yourself, then abandonment issues disappear. We have many soulmates and it’s not always ‘our destiny’ to be together. Some of them come to change our life and then they are gone. Maybe that was the purpose of this last guy, to make a lasting change in you? Best wishes 🙂

    Sorry, but bad karma is a punishment. I think of suicide all the time to rid myself of it. Why? Because I can’t succeed in my life, regardless of what I try. I am broke despite working. I am kind to people. I’m not a jerk. I pay my bills responsibly. I take responsibility for my behavior and my life, and none of that matters. None of it.

    Bad karma is not a teacher. It is punishment.

    1. enerjen

      I would like to be your friend. I’m sorry it happened to you.

    2. Misty Arnold

      So sorry to hear this and how you feel related to the way life throws at us. I can relate to exactly everything you mentioned..I have went through same situation..Sometimes life is like a puzzle, hard to figure out but eventually everything will come together.. Hang in there..Remember you are much stronger than you think..

    3. patricia

      I I I this is what I read you are not alone, you do not seem to believe that., I am so sorry, love yourself tell yourself this when you are hurting on the inside or nothing will change. Love is in every cell of your being, I was in the same way at one time I worked hard couldn’t seem to get a head I would save up money for my kids birthday or
      Christmas, my car would break down or something in the house would need repair wow, you are not alone you have to believe. Things could change in a wink of your eye. Expect something good to happen today like a package coming. We have to believe we are full of love and we need to share that with every thing that is alive.

  4. naoki

    it’s true we got to change our behavior..if we don’t go mainstream with our surrounding, just be silent and don’t do much talk and try to not says what’s in your head..yes we are nice people but that won’t matters..they need 2 faces that can bland in and be suffer (poor) like they do

  5. Lawrence

    Hellos. I think I was suffering that too. I am currently looking for a way to be a better person . I was born one but life changes ;we grow. At end, it affects us all. But anyway, best wishes.

    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.

    1. patricia

      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.

    2. patricia

      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.

  8. Ms Pinky

    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.

  10. Eve

    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.

  12. sundar

    Karma,
    Karma is positive and negative. Both r accepted by the Newton’s third law called “Every action is equal and opposite reaction”.
    Mostly ours last birth sins are affected in this birth. So, be spiritual, help needy people, speak kind words to all, think good – be good- do good. Karma is only one who follows right to equality.
    Thanks by,
    Sundar

    I think it may relate to me. Bad Karma seems to follow me wherever I go. I am kind to people. I am not a bad person. I run a small non-profit social Meetup group. Some of our members have mental health issues; bipolar, autism, ADHD and various anxieties. Our group is accepting of everyone and greatly supportive. I have been told this by other members. I don’t gossip about anyone. Gossip destroys lives and is frankly boring. People have told me how much the group means to them and although sometimes organising gets on top of me I keep going because people need the group.
    However, it seems that no matter how nice I am to others I get crapped upon constantly. I know I’m a people pleaser, however some people seem to misunderstand me, or mis-hear what I’ve said and instead of coming to me and telling me they go away and gossip about me. I am very approachable and easy to talk to, but these people wait several months before coming to me to complain, well after the event has passed. Then a clique formed. It was destroying my group from withing. And so, after months of deliberation, I decided to close it down rather than remove the clique. But most of the members didn’t agree with my decision and when I opened the new group, they abandoned me and joined the cliques new group. Imagine how that felt especially as some of these people had become friends. I realised later I should have removed the clique. I didn’t really know what to do. I vowed never to put up with gossip in the new group and make sure a clique did not form. So far so good.
    Recently I organised a group holiday for 10 people. But I got overly stressed trying to make sure everything ran smoothly and that all were enjoying themselves. Making sure we all kept together when we went out. No one got lost or was left out. I hired a cottage in Cornwall. I did an online Tesco food order. I had to organise sleeping arrangements. It was a huge order for 10 people over 7 days. People volunteered to cook some nights. But the holiday didn’t go well. This was the 8th holiday I’d organised, but it didn’t feel like a holiday. All the others had gone smoothly. Due to the stress, and I know I put too much upon myself, I became snippy. I apologised to the group and checked my behaviour. All seemed well. But two of the members sulked and didn’t speak to me. Cut a long story short I later discovered that I had upset these two women really badly, but they wouldn’t tell me what I had done and haven’t spoken to me since just saying, through texting, that I had treated them particularly badly. And then accused me of spreading malicious gossip about their personal lives to several people in the group. Completely untrue. They have threatened me with legal action. I know gossiping isn’t illegal, but it was very unpleasant to be treated this way. They are both guidance counsellors. I cannot understand why they didn’t just speak to me. I make a point of not gossiping about anyone. People have shared confidences with me that I have never shared. I cannot get to the bottom of this situation. And I am completely dumfounded. I never crap upon others. I treat other people the way I want to be treated. I accept anyone, gay, black, trans, bi, even aliens, I don’t care what you are as long as you don’t harm animals, children or our environment.
    And my neighbour is being unpleasant. But I guess a lot of people have unpleasant neighbours.
    So for many years it appears Bad Karma follows me always.
    Any advice would be very much appreciated.
