karmic ties
Fate-bound soul links
Karmic ties are spiritual or emotional connections believed to persist across lifetimes, linking people through unfinished business or shared destiny.
The concept comes from Hindu and Buddhist traditions of karma—the idea that actions create consequences that follow the soul.
People invoke karmic ties to explain inexplicably intense relationships: We must have karmic ties from a past life.
The phrase often appears in discussions of soulmates, recurring relationship patterns, or bonds that feel fated rather than chosen.
