How do you deal with family conflicts, such as disagreements over parenting styles or financial issues. Problems like communication breakdowns, drama like sibling rivalry, stress from balancing work and family. Issues like addiction or mental health challenges, or betrayal from a family member's dishonesty?
These are, unfortunately, common subjects during readings.
I asked my main spirit guide Ben about his view on family problems. How does the spirit world respond to this complex and delicate subject?
Ben wants to share the following about family and relationships:
'Every soul walks a unique path. Every soul has its own lessons to learn. You have chosen your parents and your entire family for several reasons. The roles may be reversed in this lifetime. You may have been the father or mother of one of your current parents in a past life. It may be that the bond with your father and/or mother was so loving in a previous life that you wanted to continue this in this life.
You may be a teacher to your parents as a child. In that case, the relationship is often (not always) complex. Especially if one or both parents assume that they, as parents, know better than the child simply because they are older. But being older in terms of Earth age and being a parent does not always mean being wiser.
It can also be that you only needed a womb, an egg, and sperm to manifest yourself here on Earth and that no other relationship is required with the parents. You have been taught that blood is thicker than water and that you should never turn your back on a family member. It is a red flag when you notice you must be someone else to get approval from family, a friend, or your partner. What they mean—without telling you—is that they are unaware of letting you be you and accepting your choices.
When you notice that staying with friends, family, or certain family members drains you every single time, this is a red flag, too. It means your heart tells you you do not want to be with them. Conditioning is often the most challenging thing to cut loose. Your surroundings usually do not accept breaking ties with family; it is 'not done.' When lessons are learned, a relationship is over. Humans believe they must stay in contact with someone, especially with their family, no matter what. This is a false belief, but very persistent.
You can always ask for a time-out and see how that makes you feel. When you are with someone and every time you feel drained, this is a red flag that your combined path has run its course. I am not talking about a friend, partner, or family member in need, and you are helping them. That can be draining, too, but it is temporary.
I am talking about being with someone, and it costs you almost all your energy every single time. When someone only talks about themselves or loves to gossip or complain a lot about almost anything, they are wasting your precious time. You should only accept relationships with people who lift your spirit and are truly happy for you when you have good news to share. Someone who listens to you—without judgment—when you have a problem.
When it lifts someone's spirit when you face difficulties, walk away from them. That is not friendship; that is evil. Your intuition always signs whether someone is on your side or not.
Always here to assist you,
Ben'
Understanding Family Karma: What It Is and How It Impacts Your Relationships?
Family karma is the energy or behavior pattern passed down through generations within a family. This can include patterns of addiction, abuse, thoughts, emotions, and actions that are deeply ingrained and have a strong influence on the dynamics of family relationships.
Family karma can impact relationships in various ways. It can create a sense of repetition or familiarity in relationships, where individuals may find themselves experiencing similar challenges or conflicts that their ancestors faced. This can lead to patterns of behavior that are difficult to break, as they have been reinforced for generations.
Understanding family karma is essential for gaining insight into the dynamics of your relationships. It can help individuals recognize and break free from negative patterns, heal intergenerational wounds (the emotional or psychological scars passed down through generations), and create healthier and more fulfilling connections with family members.
By acknowledging and understanding family karma, individuals can empower themselves to make conscious choices that are not limited by the patterns of the past. This awareness can lead to greater compassion, forgiveness, and healing within family relationships, ultimately fostering more harmonious dynamics and emotional well-being for all involved.
Breaking Down the Role of Family Karma in Generational Patterns.
The concept of family karma shapes generational patterns. Family karma refers to the idea that the experiences and actions of our ancestors can influence our lives in the present. By examining the role of family karma in generational patterns, we can better understand the dynamics that play out within families over time.
One way family karma manifests is through recurring patterns of behavior and attitudes within a family lineage. For example, certain beliefs or behaviors may be passed down from generation to generation, creating a complex cycle to break. By recognizing these patterns and understanding their roots in family karma, individuals can work to address and transcend them.
Another aspect of family karma is its impact on relationships and interactions within the family unit. Unresolved issues or trauma from past generations can affect the dynamics between family members, leading to conflicts or challenges that seem to persist across generations. Exploring the role of family karma can bring awareness to these dynamics and promote healing and understanding within the family system.
Furthermore, family karma can extend to broader cultural and societal patterns. In some cultures, the collective karma of a family or community plays a significant role in shaping traditions, values, and social structures. Understanding the influence of family karma on generational patterns can shed light on these cultural dynamics and their effects on individuals within the community.
Overall, understanding the role of family karma in generational patterns involves examining the interconnectedness between past, present, and future. By delving into this complex interplay, individuals and families can gain insight into the forces that shape their lives and work towards creating positive and transformative change.
