However, Karma is actually a cosmic law expressing that the words, actions, and energies we put into the world are destined to return to us. Having good or bad karma isn’t really accurate. While karma can be positive or negative, it can be thought of more as a manifestation of the choices you make in your daily life. If you feel you have a buildup of negativity here are some steps you can take to cleanse your Karma. Everyone has heard the term’ what goes around comes around’, and ‘you reap what you sow’.
If you feel you have a buildup of negativity, here are some steps you can take to cleanse your Karma.
Seek Forgiveness
Asking for forgiveness helps to release you and the other person from karma. Regardless of whether or not the person grants you forgiveness just the act of repentance can help.
Forgive
Just as asking for forgiveness frees up karma, so does bestowing forgiveness on others. The emotions you feel when you have been wronged our hurt can actually weigh down your karma. Be proactive, practice forgiveness, even if it hasn’t been asked of you.
Random Acts of Kindness
Doing good deeds without seeking anything in return is a great way to clear your karma. Have no expectations, just spread kindness, and remember actions can create a ripple effect. It doesn’t matter the size of your deed only that your heart is in the right place. Do for others from a place of humility without expecting anything in return.
Meditate
Meditation, contemplation, and self-study all aid your growth and awareness, which can help enlighten you and release the suffering of karma. Learn about the violet flame meditation. It is a particularly effective tool for clearing karma.
Be Mindful
Be aware of the intentions behind your actions. Are they honorable or manipulative? Will your choices hurt others for no reason other than to advance yourself? Is there another course you can take that will serve your purpose without harming anyone in the process? Remember to also be thankful even for the challenges you face. Remembering to approach every situation from a positive mindset is great in avoiding negative energies and actions.
