The Karma Flu:

      Solar Plexus Pain and Purging 

         The Physical Symptoms of               Dramatic Healing and Release

             Karmic Relationships, Twin Flames & Soul Ties Series

When we move through karmic relationships, soul ties, and twin flame dynamics, we often experience an intense purging process. This can include physical discomfort, emotional pain, and a deep ache in the solar plexus. What many people don’t realize is that this process is not random or meaningless. It is a clearing that occurs on multiple levels at once.

There is a physical clearing, an emotional clearing, and a spiritual clearing happening simultaneously. Healing requires feeling, and feeling takes time. What we experience during this period is the price of transformation. We are releasing accumulated guilt, consequences, and energetic burdens that were never truly ours to carry. Density has to leave the system before we can move into a lighter state of being, emotionally, physically, and spiritually. As this shedding occurs, we often feel more open and more sensitive. While it can be uncomfortable, it is also a sign that we are preparing for a different experience of life.



Understanding the Purging Process

For some people, this process can take a very long time, especially if they don’t understand what is happening. Without information, we tend to resist the experience, which can prolong the suffering. When we understand what is being asked of us, we have the option to move into the process consciously instead of fighting it. This is similar to ripping off a bandage rather than slowly pulling at it. The goal is not to avoid the tunnel, but to move through it.

On the other side of the clearing, life looks different. We resonate with different people, we perceive situations differently, and we are no longer carrying the same emotional weight.

This process often feels like a dark night of the soul. We can feel emotionally sick, soul sick, or physically compromised without being able to point to a single cause. Our heart aches, our attachment system feels torn open, and unresolved trauma has an opportunity to surface and be released.

Once this clearing begins, it cannot be stopped. The “karma flu” is already underway. Just like a physical illness, we lose perspective when the symptoms are intense. Everything can feel overwhelming, and it becomes difficult to distinguish what is real from what is being amplified by the clearing process itself.

Solar Plexus Pain and Emotional Vulnerability

During this phase, the solar plexus can feel raw, painful, or exposed. This is not a failure or a weakness. It is an opening. It is the place where accumulated suffering finally has the chance to move through the body and release.

Because we can’t see a physical wound, we often judge ourselves harshly. We tell ourselves to pull it together, to move on, or to be more productive. But this is no different from expecting yourself to perform at full capacity while having a severe flu. Productivity is naturally compromised during deep healing.

This can be a time of crying, depression, anxiety, and emotional overwhelm. Long-repressed feelings surface one by one. The nervous system is recalibrating, and this requires gentleness, patience, and compassion toward yourself.

Karmic Clearing in Relationships

Karmic clearing can be triggered by multiple people throughout our lives. Not every triggering relationship is a twin flame connection. Many relationships serve as mirrors for unresolved karma, attachment wounds, and emotional patterns.

Alchemical relationships and twin flame dynamics move through cycles of connection and separation. The deepest karmic clearing usually occurs during separation or cooling phases. Prolonged intensity without space for integration would become abusive rather than transformative.

We often mistake karmic relationships for alchemical unions. Many true alchemical relationships begin as karmic entanglements. If the healing work is done, these connections can evolve. If not, the cycles repeat. When we are still in karmic clearing, we continue to attract karmic dynamics. When the clearing is complete, those cycles lose their appeal. We are no longer drawn to rinse-and-repeat relationships, and they are no longer drawn to us.

Emotional Maturity and Inner Union

As healing progresses, relationships become simpler and easier. We stop using other people as vehicles for healing. Instead, we arrive in relationships already whole, balanced, and emotionally mature.

This is the foundation of compassionate non-attachment. These relationships are not painful. They do not rely on drama, adrenaline, or nervous system chaos. Instead, they are grounded in steadiness, safety, and emotional availability.

Before healing, these types of relationships can seem boring or uninteresting. The nervous system may still crave intensity because it associates chaos with familiarity. Over time, this shifts. What once felt dull becomes deeply restful. True partnership requires taking responsibility for your own emotional well-being. When we show up already balanced, we no longer expect the other person to complete us or regulate our emotions. This allows for cooperation, reciprocity, and mutual respect.

Allowing the Process to Complete

The length of the clearing process is different for everyone. Some people have more layers to work through. But the outcome is the same: emotional maturity, balance, and peace. It is essential not to resist the process. Resisting healing is like forcing yourself to work through a serious illness. It only delays recovery. Compassion toward yourself is not indulgence; it is part of the transformation.

There may be times when you feel like a pool of “mushy goo.” This is not regression. It is metamorphosis. Just as a caterpillar dissolves completely before becoming a butterfly, the old structure must break down for something new to form. Healing often unfolds in stages. Each time we gain perspective, we look back and realize how necessary the process was. With each stage, we release more resentment, illusion, and suffering.

Integration and Wholeness

Eventually, we come into wholeness. This is a spiritual experience that is also deeply practical. We move beyond nihilism and limitation while becoming more grounded and present in everyday life. This paradox, spiritual expansion paired with emotional maturity, is the result of allowing the process to complete. We no longer identify solely with suffering or identity roles. We function with greater awareness, clarity, and compassion. Community and accurate information are essential during this journey. Knowing that others have walked this path helps us remain grounded and patient as we move through our own transformation.
