The Way of Karma

What is karma? How does it work, and how can we work with it? Karma is a Sanskrit word meaning "action." The con-notation in Hinduism and Buddhism refers to a process of cause and effect associated with our thoughts, emotions, and behaviors. As Jesus put it, "as you sow, so shall you reap." Karma is often mistakenly believed to be a cosmic form of punishment based on a simplistic eye-for-an-eye morality. Multifaceted as the psyche itself, karma is both a web of self-related psychic forces -- the fabric of our veil of individuality -- and the labyrinth of experiences that provide the lessons leading beyond the illusion that binds us to a self that suffers. The Way of Karma demonstrates the dynamics of karma in many case studies. Part one includes past life readings demonstrating the myriad ways behavioral and psychological aberrations are developed and carried over from life to life. Part two presents examples of past life therapy sessions and day-to-day, "be here now," methods for unraveling one's web of karma.
