Moving through Your Karma Karma, like gravity, is impersonal Karma is a curious thing. If we were to try to pin down just what karma is, we might take a look at the mind/ego, and its relationship with emotions. Certainly this is not the totality of how we experience karma, but I would say this is the lion’s share. So many people go through their life and never consider what they are doing, karmically.

To take the time to flush those thoughts out of our mental patterning is a very powerful thing to do. All thoughts that do not serve us are not related to loving ourselves. To love yourself without condition is to make every thought, and every choice, ones that support your “self.” And a way to begin flushing out thoughts that don’t serve you is by beginning to follow a very simple process, which is to actually stop all of your thoughts. No-thought meditation is a very powerful tool to empower your own authentic self. It is powerful because you have untold power within you now, in this…
