#Yoga Today ~ Your #Karma comes in Percentages

 

 

 

 

 

 

Keep in mind form last week that it takes 120 days to change a karmic pattern. Every 120 days new red blood cells circulate through your body and that 84% of the cells in your body are red blood cells.

 

Karma particles come into our lives in percentages and these percentages have a great influence on the nature of our lives.

1.     The smallest percentage of karma relates to the length of your life. No matter what you do, negative or positive, this karma determines the length of your life. The percentage is 5 percent. This is an interesting concept as we can see that the length of our life is not nearly as important as the nature of our life.

2.     Name and fame equal 6 percent. Each is an equal 3 percent, so your name and the level of notoriety are 6 percent of your reason for being in this incarnation.

3.     The karma that determines your individuality equals 8 percent, and the karma that determines your family and family origin is another 8 percent for a total of 16 percent.

4.      The karma of knowledge, happiness, and awareness each equal 12 percent for a total of 36 percent. Remember, negative karma can block happiness (12 percent of your being) just as it can hinder knowledge and the ability to see things as they truly are.

5.     Belief and conduct each make up 9 ½ percent of your karma for a total of 19 percent

6.     The karma of joy equals 18 percent. The greatest amount of negative karma goes into prohibiting the expression of joy.

 

What this means is that your karma is divided into percentages and these percentages rule different areas of your life. We cannot change our individuality or our family of origin,(16%)but we can change the other 84 %; name and fame, knowledge, happiness and awareness, beliefs and conduct, and the expression of joy.   We have chosen to return to a particular family as a particular individual for the completion of our lessons. Using these percentages we can see ways to improve our lives.

#Yoga Today #Eight Types of #Karma

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

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. 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 practicing yoga. 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 circulate for about 120 days. So most likely it would take about 120 days to lock into your cellular memory something that you would like to change. Keep this in mind 84% of the cells in your body are red blood cells. Let’s get to work!

 

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 - #Reincarnation – why you are here

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

According to karma, we leave this world with unfinished business. Our holdover place is somewhat like heaven. It is not the final resting place, but simply a place to reflect. When the time is right we make the decision to return to another life in an attempt to fulfill our mission and remove our karma.

The soul does not possess human senses and thus must return to earth in human form to experience the desires of this lifetime. We choose the nature of our birth and the structure of our lives as the most expedient experience to teach us our karmic lesson. This does not mean we accomplish our mission in this lifetime or the next. We keep trying until we get it right. A lifetime, according to karma is simply a blink of time in the universe. So, according to karma, we are eternal and infinite like the energy of the universe and therefore have many lifetimes to gather the wisdom we seek. Choose wisely and you will discover liberation; the freedom that comes when you are at peace. But before we find peace we must establish ourselves in strength, flexibility and balance – let’ get started.

 

 

 

There are three forces of karma enticing us to return for another lifetime experience.

1.     Our deepest wish is to be free of all karma and therefore  we return to annihilate all karma

2.     Our desire to taste (experience) the things we tasted in a previous life. These are the cravings and desires of the flesh

3.     The desire to taste (experience) things we never tasted before.

 

So pay careful ATTENTIONS TO THE OBSTACLES THAT APPEAR IN YOUR LIFE. This is your opportunity to annihilate karma

What do you crave and desire? These things will give insight into the direction of your soul and the work you are here on earth to complete.

#Yoga Today ~ #life becomes what life does

 

 

 

 

 

 

Essentially, the laws of karma state that every action, thought, word, or deed produces a physical or mental effect. It also produces an invisible intention or inclination. This proclivity is stored in your soul (the memory track of your spirit). Everything that we do, say, or think, affects us on all planes; body, mind, and soul.

 

Because the invisible effects of our actions are stored in our souls, they endure beyond our earth life, maintaining the potential to be energized in future lives. According to karma, the soul chooses the nature of its earthly experience based upon the desire to present itself with the potential to work through a piece or pieces of karma.

If in your past life you were cruel and abusive you will come to your present life and experience those things in an attempt to find compassion and understanding. Awareness is the key.

 

When we come to earth we bring with us the seeds of compassion, forgiveness, joy, love and fearlessness. But to cultivate and realize these we must experience the opposite. You cannot forgive if you have never asked for forgiveness. You cannot be compassionate unless you understand what it is like to be heartless and cruel and you cannot find love and joy unless you know hatred and pain. Everything in life has its counter opposite. Everything in life has the potential to be both pleasure and pain. A mosquito bites you and you feel the pain of the bite. You scratch the itch and feel the pleasure of the scratch. Same bite brings both pain and pleasure. You cannot experience one without the other. So to find and know balance, flexibility, strength and peace we must be aware of the opposite. Observe and be aware.  Let’s get stated.

 

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. If you are heartless and cruel that energy makes an impression and under certain conditions will bring you unhappiness. Therefore we should seek to be aware of heartlessness and cruelty and then combat it with caring and compassion. In this we change our karma and in this we make the world a better place. Just remember life becomes what life does.

#Yoga Today ~ When we are feeling #weak and #indecisive we need to find the #strength to regain our #balance.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Life will present us with many opportunities to lose and discover our balance.  To find our balance there must be clarity, focus and strength. To lose our balance is to allow the emotional aspects of life to throw us into a tailspin. When we allow emotions to dominate our mind the life force gets scattered and the body gets weak. Balance brings with it clarity of mind and a strong and healthy body. When body, mind and soul are in perfect balance we have perfect health. Emotions always muddy the clarity of the mind and  cause us to lose our balance. For example if you lose your patience with someone you might become angry. Anger throws us into a tailspin and this tailspin causes us to be scattered and unbalanced. You then become an unbalanced angry person. That’s your karma! Your life becomes scattered, decisions are more difficult and problems don’t get solved.  But in this there is a lesson.  When deep emotions come into your life, such as anger, life calls upon you to observe and own your anger, rather than blaming everyone and everything for your anguish. Each lesson in life gives you a choice. Observe and remain balanced or buy into the emotion and become scattered and weak. Patience is what is required when emotions arise. It is said for the friendship of two the patience of one is required. When you practice patience over anger you change your karma and when you change your karma you get closer to nirvana. It all begins with balance, flexibility and strength. Let’s get started.

Karma yoga reminds us to stay centered and grounded no matter what life hands us. It also means to not go to extremes. It means to walk the middle road. This means to not identify with anything – remain detached and then come back to the present moment and see what needs to be done to recover your balance and find peace. Balance means to detach, remain still and let life flow as it will, but never be indifferent to all that is happening around you and within you.

#Yoga Today ~ the #chaos of#life

 

 

 

 

 

 

The chaos of life will always be whirling around us.  But chaos can present us with opportunity for growth and the ability to reach higher states of being. We just need to realize that we have the power to turn chaos into opportunity. The chaos of life will challenge our sense of balance, our strength, our flexibility and our peace of mind. We must decide to either walk our soulful path or let the chaos of life sweep us along into a frenzy.  Just remember the basic nature of cosmic energy is chaos with the potential to create or destroy. How we use this energy depends upon our ability to be flexible when faced with change, be strong in the face of opposition and to maintain our balance when challenged with the storms of life.  

Cosmic energy, which can appear chaotic, is void of judgement and so can move in any direction. It is simply energy in movement.  We just need to realize that we have the power to choose stability and balance over anguish, fear and pain. Discovering and harnessing this awareness we are empowered to continually create anew.  Whatever comes our ways we have the power to let it make us stronger or whirl us into a destructive chaotic frenzy. To find our strength and balance we must ground ourselves in the present moment, sit still, take a breath and then move towards creation rather than destruction. This we will work to find today in the sitting Zen. Let’s get started.

Taming the chaotic nature of life is work and will not come without a lot of effort. That’s karma. It means action with moral consequences. The paradox is that although this work takes tremendous conscious effort, when living it, we find peace and tranquility. However, along the way there will be many temptations. The greatest temptation of all will be that of the ego. It is the ego that thinks it can justify anything and everything; even violence. It is the ego that throws up walls of division.  Consciously taming the ego we remove these walls and learn to embrace the unity of life.

#Yoga Today ~ Building #Character

 

 

 

 

 

 

Character is defined as the mental and moral qualities of an individual. We build character through our life experiences which simply means life will present us with many opportunities to both develop our character and to use our character to make decisions and to solve problems. Our character is build based upon our moral and ethical underpinning. Without a moral compass or rules of conduct life would spiral into chaos. But we must be careful for morals and ethic are based upon cultural views and we must remember that although we need rules to guide us in life there is no justice in life; just ask a mother who has lost a child in a senseless shooting where justice exists? And because there is no justice in life we need laws based upon a set of rules of order; character is built based upon these morals and ethics.  Karma yoga is also based upon a set of laws; the most basic and fundament is that life becomes what life does and the second is that for every effect there is a cause. So we should look to our own character and not be quick to judge others. The question then becomes how do you build character? Character is reflected in how you react to things.  When you see an injustice can you remain strong, steady, balanced, open and flexible and find peace amongst the chaos of life? This is our greatest challenge in life?  For it is so easy for all of us to imposed judgment and voice our opinion without understanding the cause. When we impose judgment we break another fundamental laws of karma; do no harm. Karma yoga means to work on your character so that  when faced with any situation in life we remain strong, balanced, flexible and find peace; let’s get to work.

Character is defined as the mental and moral qualities of an individual. We build character through our life experiences which simply means life will present us with many opportunities to both develop our character and to use our character to make decisions and solve problems. How you make decisions and how you solve problems is based upon your ability to remain strong when faced with opposition, to keep your balance rather than be swayed by temptation and to be open and flexible without judgement. Observe your reactions to life; judge not. Remember there is no justice in life only laws or rules of conduct. Money, power and prestige come and go but character last for lifetimes. Choose wisely.

#Yoga Today ~What is your #mood today

 

 

 

 

 

 

Moods change from day to day, hour to hour and moment to moment. Science tells us that diet, environment, chemicals, lifestyle, etc. affect our moods. This is called biochemistry. Biochemistry is about the chemical substances (hormones, peptides, and neurotransmitters) that dictate our moods and affect our bodies. And although moods affect certain types of individuals to a greater degree than others, all moods affect everyone. The major negative mood states that affect us are:

 

1.     Depression

2.     Fear

3.     Worry – mental turmoil

4.     Stress

5.     Indecision

6.     Boredom or indifference

7.     Doubt – discouragement

8.     Impatience

9.     Self-distrust

10.            Weakness or powerlessness – despair

11.            Over-enthusiasm

12.            Pride or aloofness

There are many variations of our moods, but the most destructive is fear for it brings with it stress, worry, impatience, distrust and doubt.

There are three major fears – fear of not being loved, fear of rejection and fear of dying. Remove fear and you discover freedom. Moods are impressions and those impressions reflect your state of being. If you could find perfect balance in your life how would your moods change? If you felt emotionally strong you would not feel powerless and full of doubt. If you could stay flexible you would know everything changes and therefore not to get impatient, bored, indifferent and stressed. If you could be at peace with the world and live in harmony with life you would find peace and to be at peace brings you freedom. Let’s get to work.

 

Moods compromise the integrity of the body-mind and thus cut us off from our soul. However, awareness of the energy of the moods and implementing conscious change presents the opportunity to know the nature of our karma. Only through conscious awareness of how we separate ourselves can we set about to make changes towards integrating the whole. When we begin to replace vices with virtues we begin to change our karma.  Through the content of our lives, we have the opportunity to discover both the corrections and the qualities that ultimately allow the individual to experience heaven on earth; better known as happiness.

#Yoga Today ~ The Vices vs Virtues

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The opposite of vices is virtues. Virtues are discovered when we follow the footsteps of our soul. This leads to the discovery of true happiness. Happiness is our ultimate birthright, bringing with it all the qualities we strive to attain during our life on earth. When we develop the virtues of compassion, patience, courage, integrity, honor, strength, steadfastness, love, discipline, devotion, creativity, peace and wisdom we experience true happiness. Happiness is not something we find “out there.” It is something we find within.

The health of our body is controlled by the state of our mind. Our mind is the storehouse of our moods and emotions, so to insure health we need to pay careful attention to what we let occupy our mind. Negative thoughts, moods and feelings cut us off from our soul, which is pure and undisturbed by the emotions, thoughts and moods that can sometimes dictate the direction of our lives. This is simply the ego trying to usurp the soul. The ego creates envy, jealousy, resentment and revenge. These are vices. So our work here on earth is to tame the ego and elevate the soul. This requires balance, strength, flexibility and peace for the body, mind and soul. Let’s get started.

 

Your ego is your earthly persona. Your job is to tame it but, not to extinguish it. The ego is a mighty force and necessary for preservation of life. It gives us our identity and allows us to succeed in a competitive world. The problems arise when the ego consciousness tries to supersede and cut us off for the soulful path. We do not need to extinguish our importance in the world. We are all important parts of the whole. We just need to remove the vices and replace them with virtues. When we do this we tame the ego and begin to live from the seat of our soul and this power is far greater than the mightiest ego.

#Yoga Today #Karma – become the #love you seek

 

 

 

 

Hatred, prejudice and bigotry are rampant in our world and yet the opposite, love, is the greatest desire on earth. It is programmed into every cell of our being. Every being wants to give and receive love. If we feel unloved we experience unbelievable disappointment and will begin to believe we are destined to be denied the love we seek. We then become cynical and hard hearted. Karma yoga teaches that there are three fundamental fears in life. All fear and negativity comes from one of these; fear of not being loved is at the head of the list, followed by the fear of being rejected and the fear of dying.  Since we are all a part of the infinite strata of life we are all accepted and, and since according to karma we all reincarnate the fear of death is simply a fear of the unknown. If you knew by simply being kind, compassionate and understanding you would return to earth, in your next incarnation, to a state of complete love and acceptance how differently would you live your present life?

According to karma as you think, speak and act so you become. Become the love you seek and acceptance and eternal life will be your destiny.

 Fear destroys love. Acceptance creates love. When we live in a state of of jealousy, revenge, hatred, envy, resentment and malice the result is hardheartedness and a lack of compassion.  These feelings, of which none of us are entirely devoid, either express themselves openly or continue to manifest at a more unconscious level. Either way they bring destruction and ill health. Therefore remember by your very presence in the world you are loved and accepted. You have reincarnated to discover the infinite source of compassion and understanding. As you think, speak and act you become. Become the eternal energy of love and acceptance. Become the love you seek.
