As a regression therapist, I have been asked about Karma many times. In ancient Sanskrit, Karma means “action.” Hinduism sees Karma as a punishment or a reward for our actions in past lives. However, after conducting many hundreds of past life regressions, I can see that Karma is not about being good or bad.
From the point of view of our soul, there is no dichotomy of a good deed or a bad deed. There are only lessons that the soul learns in different lifetimes. Usually, the soul learns those lessons by experiencing both sides of the problem. For as long as there is still something to be discovered by the soul, the Karma stays. As soon as all of the lessons have been completed, the Karma cycle breaks.
For example, my client Katie (the name is changed), was struggling with abuse from her partners. She was married twice, and both of her husbands were abusers. During my work with Katie, she regressed to a life of a man who physically abused his wife. Eventually, his wife left him to return to her parent’s family. The abuser stayed alone, got depressed, and eventually died from consuming too much alcohol. Katie recognized the soul who was the abused wife in that past life as her second husband. She left her second husband a while ago. However, there was still lots of animosity between them because they had children and continued to communicate with each other.
During this regression, Katie realized that she had repetitive, abusive relationships because her soul was still struggling with the perpetrator-victim issue. She was literally in the skin of the abuser during this past life regression. She came out with the understanding of the particular behaviors of the victim that make the abuse possible.
Katie met her wife in that life after her death and made peace with her. This helped Katie to improve her behavior in her current life. She could set better boundaries with her ex-husband and move on with her life.
