Generating Karma

 

 

 

 

 

Before we are born we choose the circumstances in which we have the greatest opportunity to discover the nature of our earthly mission; what we are here to learn.  Just remember you are here as the I (ego) to discover the me (your inner soul).To learn we must seek knowledge and experience. Be aware that karma is the way of action and every action (cause) has its effect. The universe is a perfect accounting system. Nothing goes unnoticed. Everything gets balanced. Be mindful and choose wisely.

 

 

Basically we have three tanks or holders of karma:

1.      the total tank of all your karma from all your previous lives

2.      the karma you brought into this life; the karma you are here to work through

3.      the karma you are creating in this lifetime.

 

Just remember karma is the result of past action whether it was a lifetime ago or a moment ago you ae constantly generating karma.

Let’s begin to work on generating some balance, strength, flexibility and peace.

 

At the same time these three types of karma will manifest themselves at different times. Remember, karma is from the past. It is the effect (result) of past action. You have:

 

1.      karma from the past that will manifest itself in future lifetimes

2.      karma from the past that will manifest itself in the next immediate lifetime

3.      Karma from the past that will manifest itself in this lifetime.

 

There is also a special karma you create in this lifetime that will annihilate karma from the past, as well as in this lifetime and in future lifetimes.  Just remember karma is not retribution. It is an emotional and mental impetus from the past and that past could be one minute ago or many lifetimes ago.  Be on the lookout for this special karma. It will help you to prosper. What is it? Look for opportunities to practice kindness and you will discover it.

A Karma Yoga Moment- The Ego

 

 

 

 

 

The ego is a storage bank that holds and interprets particular experiences according to how “I” perceive “me”. However, this perception of reality is unreal from the standpoint that perceptions are transitory and ever changing. “I” am not the same “me” that existed even a moment ago.  When you remove the sensory world all that is left is memory which also changes with time.  Some memories fade and others get distorted.

The ego is not a negative thing nor is it meant to be destroyed. The ego is a tool that allows us to interrupt our experiences. It protects us and shields us from self-destruction. The problem is in believing that the ego’s point of view is the final reality.  The ego interrupts reality as the “I” seeing “me” from a one-sided point of view; it’s view. When this happens we stop processing our experiences and become transfixed in a world of competition. Reality becomes the “I” against “you”.  Look at what you did to me!

The yoga term of this is ignorance. The only way to transcend this ignorance is to detach from the experience and connect with the karmic lesson. What is it about this experience “I” am here to learn about “me”?

“I” can perceive “me” in a variety of ways, but that is only my interpretation and not necessarily the way others perceive “me”.  Realizing that your own perception of reality is not the only reality, the path of karma yoga teaches you to dig deeper into an understanding of life so that you might discover who “I” am; you are the observer free from the limited view of the ego. “I” now perceives “me” and “you” as one.  Life is an opportunity to learn, know and master, not the world or others, but the “I” who perceives “me.”

#Yoga #Today ~ What is #Karma?

 

 

 

Karma is present energy that, under certain conditions, changes from invisible to visible form. We look upon these manifestations as either rewarding or punishing when in fact they are simply results of past actions and attitudes. Basically life becomes what life does.

 

All creation is the result of energy. The process of creation is change. So remember everything that happens is the result of past action, whether it happened a minute ago or lifetimes ago. Karma is a result of the past. Let’s begin with a focus on action that will produce balance, flexibility, strength and peace for the body, mind and soul.

.

Karma upholds the law of universal justice in that it answers the question; where is there justice in the world? There is no such thing as justice. That’s why we need laws.  The law of Karma states there are no reward or punishments in life. Everything that happens is simply cause and effect.  Actions produce result so act wisely because Life becomes what life does.

Namaste ~ I celebrate the place where our souls meet

The Eight Types of Karma ~ Yoga Today

 

 

 

 

 

There are eight types of karma we encounter in our lifetime. The first is attitudinal karma. All karmic events are processed through the attitudes we carry. Our attitudes determine the outcome of our experiences and our lives. The second is event karma. Certain events happen in the course of our lives that create change. Marriages, birth of children, divorce, death of loved one, change in job and other earthly events that help to shape our lives. The third is time gates. We have all had experiences or known someone whose life has suddenly taken a drastic change. Like the starving young actor who suddenly gets a break and his whole life changes. It is said this person has passed through a time gate. Time gates are everywhere and due to our attitudes we can often walk right by an opportunity. The fourth is reciprocity. We reap what we sow and so what we give out into the world comes back to us. The fifth is generating. We are constantly generating karma by our actions. It will either manifest in this lifetime or the next. The sixth is supportive karma. This is the action we perform that supports karmic change. An example would be counseling or taking this soul walk. The seventh is counteractive karma or doing things that are counter to the karma we are trying to work out. This is when we know we should be acting in one way, but act in another and thus create self-sabotaging actions. The eighth is destructive karma. This of course is action that we take that deepens our karma or adds destructive consequences to our lives. A life of crime or drug addiction would be destructive examples.

To overcome a piece of karma or to implement a lasting change we need to apply a simple formula. Karma yoga teaches that it takes 120 days to overcome a piece of karma. This is called a trine pattern. A trine is what astrology refers to as an aspect or the distance between two planets. A trine is the distance of 120 degrees. A trine symbolizes good luck. Modern science tells us that new red blood cells regenerate about every 120 days. So most likely it would take about 120 days to lock into your cellular memory something that you would like to change.

What would we all like to lock into our cellular structure? Balance, flexibility, strength and peace; body, mind and soul.

 

Our emotions are energy impressions embedded into the protein structure of our cells. Our body is constantly building up and breaking down these protein structures. Any emotional energy stored in your cells will be regenerated into new cells. The question then becomes, how do we best implant new energy memory into the cells? Karma teaches us that the best way to learn a lesson and implement change is through awareness, meditation, contemplation, reflection, and vicarious learning. By observing and consciously becoming aware of the karma we are attempting to change, we can and will learn the lesson. Karma tells us that if the lesson has been truly learned (change has been made) a space opens and we then have a greater opportunity to manifest free will. We become the masters of our own destiny and this leads to prosperity.

Yoga Today ~ Karma – we are layers of energy

According to Eastern thought, our being consists of seven layers of energy. The final and most noticeable layer of energy is the physical body. This layer of energy vibrates at a frequency lower than the other layers, which accounts for its visibility in the physical world. The higher frequency layers cannot be seen, but still have an effect on our physical self. All of the layers of energy are interdependent and cannot be separated. As long as consciousness exists the layers exist.  Our task is to find balance so that we stay connected to the center of our being and not the extraneous dramas, stresses and problems that are the circumferences of life.

The seven layers of energy are as follows. The first is the physical self, the second is the etheric self or the vital energetic self (known as the aura), the third is the astral or emotional self, the fourth is the mental self where thoughts are formed, the fifth is the soul or intellectual self, the sixth is the cosmic self (sometimes called the “pure intelligent self”), and the seventh is like the Tao impossible to name, as it is beyond name and form. It is the integration and balance of all the layers of energy that create a harmonious aura and thus a healthy body, mind and soul.  We then use this integrated energy to project our strength, flexibility and balance outward from the center of our being.  When in balance we exude self-confidence, self-esteem, happiness and peace.

When we attach ourselves to the extraneous dramas, stresses and problems that are the circumference of life we lose sight of our center and thus we lose our balance, flexibility, strength and peace. So stay connected to the center of your being and remember center everywhere circumference nowhere.
