Karma

Karma is a Sanskrit word that means action. Clearly, then, you cant avoid karma, since life is composed of action.

Youve probably heard the saying, What you sow, you will reap. Basically, this spiritual law means that you are responsible for your actions and their consequences. This is the same spiritual law defined by the term karma. With karma, your positive actions have constructive results and your negative actions have destructive results. As such, karma can be viewed as the combined set of circumstances that either allows you to move forward in life or holds you back.

You may wonder why bad things happen to good people and how karma applies to them. Heres where the theory of reincarnation comes into play. Since ancient times, many cultures have believed that birth and death are part of a continuous cycle through which a soul can heal and transform. Buddhism, Hinduism, and many earth-based religions include reincarnation in their doctrines. Past-life expert and best-selling author Dr. Brian Weiss claims that even Christianity embraced reincarnation until Emperor Constantine deleted references of past lives from the Bible in the fourth century.

Reincarnation espouses the belief that your soul chooses to be born on earth to learn and experience, because life offers new opportunities to grow. Sometimes such opportunityas the result of karmacomes in the form of challenging circumstances to help you learn the impact of your past actions on others and thereby balance the scales. In the process, these difficult situations also force you to develop strength or upgrade your character . As such , I call the wisdom gleaned from these opportunities spiritual lessons, as ultimately you are here to discover your true divine nature.

At this moment, your life is a culmination of all the karma created by the consequences of past actions and choices. Thus, the exercises, stories, and meditations in this book will help you to make choices in keeping with the spiritual law that as you sow, so shall you reap. Karmic Choices will help you to become aware that you are not alone, but interconnected to everyone and everything, for it is with such awareness that you will create positive karma for yourself and for the world.
