Is Karma Really a Bitch?

 

What are the 12 laws of karma?

Everything is energy, including thoughts and emotions, which are energy in motion. Everything you do creates an equal corresponding energy that comes back to you in some form. Everything you do creates either a positive or negative consequence -so Karma is really only a bitch if you sent that energy out.


Using karma as a set of guidelines for your life can encourage you to be more mindful of your thoughts and actions before you decide or act.


1. The great law or the law of cause and effect

When most people talk about karma, they’re likely referring to the great law of cause and effect.


According to this law, whatever thoughts or energy you put out, you get back — good or bad. In order to get what you want, you have to embody and be worthy of those things. It’s the concept of what you reap, you sow.


2. The law of creation

The law of creation underscores the importance that life doesn’t just happen to us. To make things happen in your life, you need to take action, instead of waiting for something to magically come your way.


3. The law of humility

The law of humility is based on the principle that you must be humble enough to accept that your current reality is the result of your past actions, regardless of intent or good/bad choice on your part.


4. The law of growth

Growth starts within us. To positively shape the world, you need to start with yourself. That’s because real change begins with what you have control over, which is yourself, not others.


The law of growth also looks at the things you can’t control and how you deal with accepting this fate. Ultimately, your focus should be on you, not trying to control the people or things around you. (Life is only 10% what happens; it's 90% how you choose to respond.)


5. The law of responsibility

Own what happens to you in life. What happens to you is because of you. This eliminates the opportunity for you to look outward to find the cause of your problems. In short, you are the product of the choices you make.


6. The law of connection

This law is based on the principle that everything in your life, including your past, present, and future, are connected.


Who you are today is the result of your previous actions; and who you will be tomorrow will be the result of your actions today.


7. The law of focus

Focusing on too many things at once can slow you down and lead to frustration and negativity. That’s why the law of focus encourages you to concentrate on one thing at a time.


Focusing on higher values like love and peace, make you less likely to be distracted by resentment, greed, or other negative emotions.


8. The law of giving and hospitality

Give to the things you believe in. This law helps you understand the importance of your actions, reflecting your deeper beliefs.


9. The law of here and now

To experience peace of mind, you have to embrace the present. This can only happen when you let go of negative thoughts or behaviors from your past. If you get too focused on past events, you’ll keep reliving them.


10. The law of change

According to this principle, history will continue to repeat itself until you learn from the experience and take steps to do something differently to stop the cycle.

Change gives you a new path so that you can create a new future and a better version of yourself, free from the patterns of the past.


11. The law of patience and reward

To generate change in the future, we must be consistent in our karmic deeds today.

Be consistent in your goals, and they will come to fruition.


12. The law of significance and inspiration

We all play a part and have something to contribute to this world. What we share may sometimes seem small to us but can make an enormous difference in someone else’s life.


According to this law, every contribution you make will affect the world. You have been born with a specific gift, mission, and purpose that only you can bring into the world with your uniqueness. Authentically sharing your skills and gifts is why you’re here.
