Podcast #17 - Karma (Action) Level 1 Class

Karma (Action) is a word some of us refer to everyday to

explain a boomerang of events that happen from what we do. We may even

see it when we are getting a cup of coffee/tea in the morning on the

counter a "Good Karma" cup inviting up to leave a tip. I have read that

most philosophical schools say that karma is action and from what we do

there is a response to our choices, ramifications or reactions. But

when I delved deeper, I learned about the Wheel of Karma talking about

life which says that being in the body means you have more work to do

that you didn�t do in the last life - I did not like this at all in

some way it says that life is a punishment.

Today, I invite you to see how your life is a blessing and there is

nothing to get out of but to go in and creatively step into your life,

the world we want to live in by applying our intention with right

action. I invite you to see that you did nothing wrong to be here but

that the divine chose to be you and that you have the opportunity to

enjoy being in this marvelous body.

Tantra offered me the perspective to see that we are not stuck in a

yoga that is filled with dogma of what we have to do but that we choose

what we do to create our life. Contemplate about life not being a set

of rules to design your outcomes but that you can find your way to

discover that many opportunities to change the way you are becoming

even better using right action to live more fully on and off your mat.
