Karma, a concept rooted in ancient Eastern philosophies, refers to the law of cause and effect. The essential idea is that every choice generates energy that produces a variety of outcomes, either in this life or in a possible future reincarnation. While the idea of karma may seem mystical, many people perceive it as a universal principle similar to Newton’s law that states every action has an equal and opposite reaction. Even the Golden Rule seems to embody the idea of karma, since it encourages us to treat others as we’d like to be treated.

An associated concept is the idea of karmic debt, which is described as the accumulated burden of “negative” past actions that one must atone for or balance out. The idea of reincarnation brings forth the idea that some of these “negative” past actions may have occurred in an earlier life, and part of our job in this life is to make amends. This notion of karmic debt leads to beliefs that suggest we are bound by our past until we make the conscious effort to transform or transcend the energy we’ve previously created.

In the 21st century, as people become more “enlightened”, we are beginning to ask important questions about karma:
1. Is karma real?
2. Is karmic debt real?
3. Is there any way to “escape” karma?
4. What is the real point of continuously cycling back in many different incarnations?

In this episode of Life Mastery TV, we’re going to examine some of these questions in detail. To help me with this deep and powerful conversation, I’ve invited back my good friend and colleague, Laina Orlando. As a student and teacher of A Course in Miracles, Laina has an amazing grasp of all these concepts, and she will help us understand it all—and maybe even provide a pathway to clear karma in the process. Here’s some of what we plan to discuss:

* The Birth of Karma
* Karma VS Fate
* Self-Awareness and Mindfulness
* Compassion and Forgiveness
* Spiritual Practices

As you deepen your understanding of karma, you can implement the practices of awareness, acceptance, compassion, and forgiveness in order to offset or balance its influence in your life. Ultimately, clearing karma involves an ongoing process of living with greater integrity, thereby aligning yourself with positive and conscious action in the present moment.
