The Power of Positive Karma: How Our Good Deeds Come Back to Us
Usually, when we experience drastic changes in our personality, way of acting, or thinking, we tend to consider the bad things that happen to us as karma for having hurt someone, deceived others, been selfish, or even thought negatively without any basis. In other words, we find ourselves experiencing a kind of return of all the negative actions we once practiced.
However, it’s important to keep in mind that it’s not only negative actions that come back on this karmic scale; all our positive, altruistic, charitable, and benevolent actions also return as positive karma in our lives. The association of karma as something negative comes from a natural tendency of human beings to remember negative events more vividly, as being hurt or hurting others tends to leave a deeper mark in our memories than joyful and happy moments.
THE MEANING OF THE WORD KARMA
The best way to understand the concept of what is called karma is to recognize that everything around us has its own energy, just like we do. This means that every time we interact with the Universe around us, these actions produce a unique energy that can be either good or bad. The word karma is literally translated precisely under this concept of “making and collecting the field of physical, verbal, and mental actions.”
This particularity of the energies generated in each action we take leads to situations where we may not fully recognize the real harm we cause when we act unfairly toward someone. Each person receives these energies differently; therefore, human beings tend to react much less indifferently when they go through the same situation. By experiencing the other side of the coin, we develop greater empathy for the feelings of others.
CAUSE AND EFFECT
At this point, one can better understand what karma and the law of cause and effect mean. They basically deal with balance and understanding, so receiving the return of your actions and experiencing their causes directly is certainly an effective way to understand the magnitude of your deeds.
However, as mentioned, this concept also applies to the positive return of energies, or positive karma, as it is also known. Even though these may not mark us in the same way as more bitter experiences, actions that result in good should produce energies rich in positive charges that will surround us with a magnetism conducive to happy events.
This idea of positive or negative return, always in accordance with a magnetic aura that we are responsible for creating, demonstrates personal mastery over what happens in our lives and that we should plan for the future, assuming responsibilities without placing all the weight of actions and decisions on fate.
THE MEANING OF THE 12 LAWS OF KARMA
In Indian culture, the word karma means action. The term, which comes from Buddhism, Hinduism, and Jainism, is also adopted in spiritualism. Basically, karma defines that for every action, whether good or bad, there is a reaction. An equivalent force in the opposite direction. Learn about the 12 Laws of Karma.
Everything we do has consequences. The law of karma simply confirms this. In other words, we will experience the effects of our actions in this life or in future existences. It is also known in many religions as celestial justice since it represents that a person receives what they deserve based on their actions.
THE 12 LAWS OF KARMA
THE GREAT LAW
The first and greatest law of karma is about cause and effect. As the popular saying goes, we reap what we sow, and that is the result of this law.
LAW OF CREATION
The law of creation is about living life the way we want it to be. It requires our participation, not just happening. Our inner state is influenced by what surrounds us; we are connected to the Universe within and outside of ourselves.
LAW OF HUMILITY
The law of humility is about accepting that the world mirrors our traits. Even if we refuse to accept what exists within us, it will continue to live with us.
LAW OF GROWTH
The fourth law of karma, growth, is about change and personal growth. For our spirit to grow, change must come from within us.
LAW OF RESPONSIBILITY
We must take responsibility for what happens around us. If something is wrong, you can be sure that the error starts within yourself.
LAW OF CONNECTION
Everything in the Universe is connected in one way or another. Even when we think it’s not, there is a connection and an explanation for everything.
LAW OF FOCUS
The seventh law of karma says that we must focus and not think about two things simultaneously. As a principle of karma, the Law of Focus emphasizes the importance of directing your mental and emotional energies towards a single point or task. This concentrated effort yields better results in external endeavors and contributes to internal growth, clarity, and peace.
LAW OF GIVING
It’s about giving when we believe something is true. We must demonstrate this truth. The Law of Giving suggests that true belief in an idea or value is most authentically demonstrated through the act of giving in a way that aligns with those beliefs. This benefits the recipient and reinforces the giver’s values, creating a cycle of positivity and growth.
The Sub law of Reciprocity: In many spiritual and philosophical traditions, giving is seen as a way to create positive energy or karma, which eventually returns to the giver in various forms. This law suggests that what you give to the world, thoughts, actions, or resources ultimately returns to you.
LAW OF HERE AND NOW
We must always look forward. When we look back, we see old patterns and old habits. What matters is here and now.
LAW OF CHANGE
We are responsible for changing our path. Everything repeats until we embrace change. This principle suggests that individuals are accountable for their own development. Stagnation often leads to recurring patterns or situations. Embracing change is essential for breaking these cycles, leading to personal evolution and attaining new experiences and insights.
LAW OF PATIENCE AND REWARD
By being patient, you will be rewarded. Reward requires work, dedication, and persistence.
LAW OF MEANING AND INSPIRATION
The Law of Meaning and Inspiration underscores the importance of infusing our actions with genuine meaning, intention, and inspiration. It reminds us that the significance we attribute to our endeavors and the positive energy we invest in them can significantly shape the outcomes we experience in life. By aligning our actions with our values and pursuing endeavors that resonate with our true selves, we can lead more purposeful and fulfilling lives while positively impacting the world around us.
