Reading Karmic Relationships: Healing Invisible Wounds dramatically improved my life. It marks a pivotal point of calling me to dharma, higher purpose, through more consciously recognizing my life themes and the relationship wounds that were holding reactive karmic patterns in place in my life. This book not only offers the opportunity for readers to explore their own life themes and recognize their own emotionally reactive patterns and triggers, it serves to provide better understanding of various kinds of karmic relationships: karmic debt, karmic credit, soul agreement, and beyond karma relationships. With somewhat of a workbook style, along with poignant stories exemplifying enlightening points, this book helps “to uncover your deep karmic roots from past-lives, prenatal experiences, or agreements you’ve made in the between lives heavenly state.” By reading this book, I feel I am better able to glimpse the influences of past-lives on this present life.
Dr. Richards draws on his Jungian background in referring to the importance of facing your “Shadow”, but this becomes real, rather than metaphorical, from a past-life perspective. Integrating the “Shadow” helps bring you further toward self-realization and this book helps mark that journey.
The Soul Journey Therapy mentioned is different from other therapies in its refreshingly higher viewpoint beyond a one-life scope. A difference from other past-life therapies is that clients experience the past-lives or pre-natal state in full consciousness (not hypnosis) to not only uncover, but dissolve emotional trauma and resolve key issues from the past, which are limiting the present. This book is more helpful than other past-life books I’ve read in that it offers readers the opportunity to explore issues in their own lives, not merely hear of others’ experiences while under hypnosis; it makes the process of recognizing and healing invisible wounds real and helpful in daily life and is a tool for those of us who choose a conscious journey.
Dr. Richards writes, “The journey you are about to undertake reading this book is only a small mirror of the fascinating one I’ve had over the years as a therapist.” I would like Dr. Richards to reveal a wider view of his work by writing more books, as healing karmic wounds is essential to a more creative, fulfilling life.
