Karmic relationships come with tons of learning potential. They are going to help you learn what you do and don’t want in a partner. Most people will date at least one, if not more, karmic partners in their lifetimes. They are like stepping stones on the path of love.

They are called karmic relationships because they consist of two people coming together again, as they have in past lifetimes. Given this opportunity, you can pick up where you left off, learning some of the lessons that perhaps you weren’t able to in the past.

Here are a few signs that it is a karmic connection

  • Instant and intense attraction

  • Strong sense of familiarity

  • It’s a rollercoaster with lots of high highs and low lows

  • You keep repeating the same toxic patterns

  • Emotional exhaustion

  • You ignore red flags
