Karma is often understood as the deserving return of things you have done, often in the negative aspect. As in, if you do something bad, something bad will happen to you. But there's more to it than that. We need to remember that when we borrow teachings from different languages and cultures, some of the true meaning can get lost in translation.
When Patty talks about karma and karmic relationships, she’s referring to the flow of events where we get to examine our life after we move beyond this realm and go beyond the veil. It's an opportunity for us to see how our actions have impacted others and experience the consequences from their perspective.
“Karma is not just bad. It’s the balance of all things. And when we put that out, ultimately it’s going to return to us.” -Patty Lennon
As we prepare for our next life, our souls have this desire to absorb or take in the pain and negativity we have caused in this lifetime. How that plays out in our future lives can vary. We might directly experience what we've inflicted, or perhaps we'll be connected to those who have received that pain, either through work or relationships. These karmic wounds from our past actions manifest as patterns and behaviors that no longer serve us in this lifetime.
“Forgiveness holds the seeds to freedom.” -Patty Lennon
Here's the key to freeing ourselves from this cycle: forgiveness. Dealing with our karmic wounds and releasing the ties to our past selves starts with forgiveness. We need to find a way to make amends for who we were before. We don't have to spend the rest of our lives trying to make up for our past actions.
If you're ready to break free from guilt and doubt and experience deep peace, possibility, and prosperity, Patty has a 5-step program that can help you on this journey. It's time to clear those karmic patterns and create a brighter future.
