How To Get Rid Of Past Life Karma: The Bad Karma & Reincarnation Relationship

How is karma related to reincarnation?

Before we dive right into the good stuff, let’s begin with a bit of background. Karma has been a celebrated factor in both Hinduism and Buddhism. Where Hindus praise Brahman and view karma as an ethical factor, according to their role in society, including religious deeds.  Buddhists believe they are unattached to a god but they are all one, and Karma is seen as a result of intention, be it thought or action. Both believe that either positive Karma or negative karma carries consequences that are experienced in either your current life or the next life.

This is where reincarnation comes into the mix. First off, Buddhists believe in rebirth, not reincarnation. For them, it’s not that your soul goes from one body to the next, it’s just that your energy joins the collective and life continues. Hindus, on the other hand, believe that your soul is eternal and when your body in your present life dies, you will reincarnate into another. Your Karma is connected with that incarnation, by which, if you have not paid off your debts from your previous life, you will either owe a debt for negative karma for bad deeds done and positive karma for good deeds done, in your next incarnation.

Why is karma important?

In Hinduism, Karma is important because it determines whether or not you will come into another life. Your life patterns are connected to your karmic patterns, in that each life you experience is serving off karmic debt, and once that debt has been paid you can progress in your spiritual journey.

Why do karma and reincarnation work together?

In the Hindu belief, the Dharma states that reincarnation is a result of owing a karmic debt. It is said that your situation or role in your life is determined by the debt you owe, so if you were a person who acted with great compassion towards others in your previous life, you would appreciate those efforts in your next life. In the same way, Karmic patterns will keep playing out in each incarnation if you fail to learn the lesson aimed. Therefore, reincarnation based on Karma is a continuous cycle unless you make the effort to break it.

Have you ever wondered why you have such an unexplainable fear of something, maybe spiders, maybe relationships? It may all come down to finding out who were you in a past life! There is a high chance that that fear comes from an intense experience from a previous incarnation and you are owing a debt and a lesson learned. But, how to know your past life karma? Past life astrology is just one awesome way of finding out. Keep reading for insight on how to work out if you have a karmic debt or not.

Do What Makes You Happy
