How to Work With Karmic Cycles and Master Important Soul Lessons

Until you end the cycle, it continues to torment your life

1. Spot It When It Presents Itself

A karmic cycle is a repetitive cycle of events, patterns, and emotions throughout a single or many lifetimes. As its name implies, karmic cycles have something to do with karma. Karma is one of the 12 spiritual laws of the universe that state that you reap what you sow and get back what you put into the universe.

Where the concept of karma is believed, there is the belief that the soul reincarnates with the sole purpose of soul evolution. This evolution comes through moral, ethical, and spiritual challenges, which is when a karmic cycle comes in.

Karmic cycles are opportunities that present themselves before you to help you pass life tests, master life lessons, and ultimately improve yourself.

Let’s say you experienced an ethical or moral challenge in the workplace when you didn’t act with integrity, which resulted in you getting into trouble. In a karmic cycle, you’ll be presented with a similar challenge so you can do the right thing and break the cycle.

Or let’s say you often find yourself in the wrong relationship because you fail to listen to your intuition that tells you something is not quite right with the relationship and you could end up getting hurt. In a karmic cycle, you will find yourself in the exact same relationship patterns until you decide to get out the moment your intuition tells you to.

2. Understand Why It’s Showing Up

When you’re in a karmic cycle, you keep attracting the same situations and the same types of people in your life.

If every boyfriend you have has the same features as your previous boyfriends or if you attract women that remind you of your mother, you are likely in a karmic cycle and you have something you need to learn. Sometimes the same features in a boyfriend or a girlfriend that reminds you of your previous partner or your mother can feel comfortable and familiar and so you gravitate towards it and you end up repeating the cycle so you can understand why it keeps happening.

Karmic cycles also come to help you to deal with your fears.

Let’s say in the past or in a previous lifetime, you struggled financially and so you always worry that your resources will be scarce and so you hold on to every penny, afraid to spend anything because you fear you will have nothing. Because of this fear, you will be presented with situations where you have very little and you will be tested to see if you can trust that you will be provided for. You might choose to trust that you will always have what you need to survive or repeat the same cycle of penny-pinching and living in a scarcity mindset.

Other times, karmic cycles are generational.

You may realize that just like your mother, you stay in toxic relationships way too long, or just like your father, you gotta cheat on your partner no matter how good they are to you.

You’ll see your karmic cycles are very familiar with the experiences of certain members of your family. This is because sometimes a person fails the test over and over again and the child of that person must step in to help break the cycle for everyone in the family. This is why cycles are passed down the generational line.

Karmic cycles are passed down to you so you can break the cycle for your family.

If you don’t tolerate toxicity or any type of disrespect in your relationship, you teach your daughter not to tolerate it and thus, break the cycle for your daughter. If you stay with one woman and love her through thick and thin, you show your son how he must treat women and thus you break the cycle so it doesn’t get passed down to him and so on.

3. Choose To Make a Different Choice

A karmic cycle will present itself to you to invite you to make a different choice. You will notice them when your soul is telling you that it’s time to end it. It will be easy to spot them now that you are aware.

Until you break the cycle, you will continue to repeat it regardless of how unpleasant it is and it will continue to torment your life.

The first step to ending a karmic cycle is to acknowledge that you want to experience something different and then work towards that. Becoming aware and fully understanding them leads to healing and inner transformation.

Seeing that you’re repeating a karmic cycle isn’t enough to create change. It is merely the first step to breaking it, but you must make the effort to make a different choice when the pattern presents itself.

Where you would stay, leave. Where you would leave, stay. Where you would cheat, go home. Where you would yell, say nothing. When you would steal, trust that you’re okay without that. Where you would lie, speak the truth without fear of consequence and where you will drink the entire bottle of wine, have one glass, and put the bottle away.

It can be challenging to make a different choice when the old choice is all you know to make but the stronger your connection is to God, your higher self, or your intuition, the greater your chances of breaking the cycle for you, your family, your children, and your children’s children.

Karmic cycles, no matter how difficult, are trying to help you heal, grow and evolve. It’s trying to help you achieve a wisdom that will last you many lifetimes.

If you become aware of these cycles in your life and make a different choice when they present themselves to you, you get to self-actualize and become the person you were created to be.

A broken karmic cycle can change everything. It can shift your entire life for the better. As you break karmic cycles, you may see that your relationships, jobs, mental health, and everything else improve.

Breaking karmic cycles is difficult, but you must end and get it over with once and for all. Then you won't ever have to see the pattern ever again and if you do see it, you've mastered it.
