Karma There are many definitions of Karma, some are simple and some complex. The information fills many books. Yet the central point is simple: "What we put out to the universe comes back to us." How does this affect us? What we fear is drawn to us like a magnet. When those fears come up, how do we handle them? With walls and boundaries? With attacks and strong reactions? Or, do we learn from them and let them dissolve away, effortlessly? That the method that is so easy on us is by far the hardest to do. To release the patterns requires changing ourselves. Looking at that mirror into our very soul and creating a different reality. The way Karma affects us depends on our beliefs, which can range from holding Unconditional Love and not blaming others, to believing that when people wrong you they will get the same or worse back 10 times, 100 times or even a million fold! How we want others to be treated is how the universe will treat us. We can experience and learn and get past your fears. All fears present opportunities to change. Change is a choice open to us at any time. Not changing is also a constant series of choices we often find easier because change involves fears that must be overcome. How do we clear "bad" Karma? The process can be relatively easy or extremely difficult! It depends on our belief system, the tools we use, and how strong the Karmic energy is on what we want to clear. Our thoughts create the reality we experience and how that reality changes. Our belief systems are in control! Some believe that Karma can be easily changed. It is making the choice to change and following up on it. Others believe that if we lead a good life, making all the right choices in this life, that in our next life we will have less bad Karma. Why wait that long? Change our beliefs now! Karma is another way of looking at ourself, who we are and why we do certain things. It is our belief system that is full of the energy of events and people as they have interacted with us. Where does your Karma come from? In this life, it is from our actions and thoughts. That new Karma energy usually builds upon the Karma from our past lives, from our parents and other ancestors as well as our soul. It focuses our life to learn lessons or withdraw from them. How Does Karma Clear? It is by changing our thoughts and actions. A process of clearing and creating a new reality. When we want to change and actually do, the Karma can clear and not rebuild. All Karma that is cleared can be re-established by our thoughts, words and deeds. Karma comes in what I call ropes, others view them as chains. The energies of many people, thoughts and events are intertwined together like a rope on a particular issue or idea. That "rope" may be thin as a thread or thick and strong like a steel cable. The people, thoughts and events on one rope can affect many different Karmic ropes. The ropes are linked together like a three dimensional web. Our core patterns affect us strongly because they have so many thoughts and events on them tied into many more karmic patterns locking each other together. Many healing modalities affect Karma on some levels. Each modality is also a belief system heavily influenced by its creators' own boundaries. Only God has no boundaries. People who are guided to bring in new healing information generally do so because they are most in need of it in their lives. How wonderful that is! Our beliefs greatly affects how our karma clears. If we presently believe that what others do to us, we will get back 10 times. This is how the universe balances our actions, how we treat others. Just imagine how by changing this simple belief to: They will get back the exact the same as they treated us. Even better, how about using forgiveness and not attacking back with our thoughts or actions and building no bad karma! With Love and Healing Richard Davis
