Karma Cleansing
5 ways to clean up your karma
Have you ever had an experience, even a relationship, that affected you so deeply you cried for weeks, months or even years?
A connection that felt so intense it is beyond comprehension or explanation?
A situation that continued to present itself over and over again - whether it was with the same person each time or not?
These are just a few examples of karma at work.
Called by different names in different traditions, karma can be loosely summed up as the universe's way of teaching you the lessons you need to learn - over and over again until you actually learn them. In some traditions, this can take multiple lifetimes. In others, the lessons may or may not ever be learned. It can simpy be a case of your individual ability and willingness (or not!) to evolve.
No matter how you view karma, there's no doubt it affects your life. In fact, some argue that everything (good and bad) is karmic. Commenting on this very subject, one religious writer summed it up: "In life, there are no rewards, there are no punishments, there are only consequences." So how do you control those consequences?
Clean up
Opinions may vary when it comes to actual karma cleansing. Some spiritualists and psychics have the ability to read and clear individual karma (past life and from this plane). If you want to know what your actual karma is, this is the way to go. But first take a closer look.
Change your actions
Since karma is literally, the results of your actions, what goes around comes around. If you can see the link to what's happening to you in your actions, you may very well have your answer. Change your actions. It may seem difficult at first - and it will be - but you can choose to alter your karma most of the time.
Be thankful
Karmic situations are not just negative ones. While people can often be heard complaining when something bad happens to them, it's rare to hear someone say "wow, karma!" if something great happens. The next time you're faced with what seems like good luck - say you're that rare person who never has trouble finding a parking space, try a little gratitude - it goes a long way.
Check your intentions
Even if someone is able to clear your karma, you will continue to have free will. Thoughts impact action and karma. The only way to undertake a karmic cleansing is with purity of intention and a real readiness to let go and move on.
The secret
Sometimes karma is a self-fulfilling prophecy. You know, "I'll never find my soulmate," or "I can't do that." As much as these thoughts may be motivated by something beyond your understanding (low self-esteem, habit, past life actions), with or without a karmic assessment and cleansing, a certain amount of responsibility lies with you. Only you control your thoughts. And only you control your actions.
So make them good ones - and enjoy karmic benevolence!
