Karmic Completion

Rejoice, you are nearly at the end of a karmic journey.

You have experienced a karmic spring-cleaning, the clearing out of old accumulated energies stored within the body. The karmic cycle has given you the opportunity to learn new skills such as expressing yourself more easily, feeling heard, saying ‘no’ or asking for acknowledgement. Its purpose is to release you from the past, move you into the present and fulfill your life purpose. Ultimately karmic experience will lead to the feeling of compassion, and from compassion you will feel a deep connection with yourself and others.

Karma isn’t a straight tit-for-tat, good life/bad life rebalancing. It is a catalyst for spiritual and emotional growth. Karmic feeling energy can be accumulated in both positive and negative states. For instance, when you hear a good joke you will laugh as much as you want to. You don’t stop your laughter or rationalise the joke. You then retell the joke fully until it no longer makes you laugh as much. It is much the same process with conflict. The feelings will lessen over time. However, with conflict we often lack the skill to deal with the difficult situation in the present moment and so we store the feelings up for later until we feel more confident about dealing with it. We build up the emotions of resentment or fear. Karma in the negative state often becomes the focus because when a situation isn’t fully resolved it demands our attention.

Until now you may have been storing the accumulated feelings of small hurts and wounds by many people (who didn’t acknowledge you) or your karmic energy might have been the unresolved feelings related to a large event where someone cheated or betrayed you. This card indicates you are developing the appropriate skills to satisfy your emotional needs so that you are able to resolve and release fully from the karmic situation.

Your karma has had a story with beliefs and thoughts attached to it. You have been stuck in reexperiencing the negative feelings from this story of a past event (or series of events) being replayed over and over again in your subconscious mind. This reviewing of the story is a way you have protected yourself from making the same mistakes (or reengaging the negative expe-rience in your present circumstance.) The story has been there to warn and protect you. The good news is you are now ready to expand your horizons and let go of the limitations of your old life.

You have chosen a set of circumstances with different people and situations in order to feel a set of emotions. These emotions create karmic energy, which in turn binds you to these experiences until the emotions are resolved. The process of karma is designed so that you feel deeply enough to expand your awareness. This heightened awareness allows you to resolve the old patterns and evolve into new possibilities. Sometimes one all-encompassing feeling may have influenced your whole life. For instance, the feeling of being trapped by too many responsibilities or dependants may have dominated your life experience. This karmic condition of feeling trapped may reflect a karmic energy wanting to resolve into more freedom. So what is the most pressing feeling you must engage in order to release your situation and restore emotional balance? What is your unfinished business? You are ready to release.

If you are working with accumulated good karmic energy, every person, situation and place you find yourself in is leading you to the purpose of your life. Now enjoy!
