Everything is energy, including your
thoughts and emotions, which are energy in
motion. So, in essence, everything you do
creates a corresponding energy that comes
back to you in some form,
“Simply, everything you do creates either a
positive or negative consequence,”
Using karma as a set of powerful guidelines
for your life can incentivize you to be more
mindful of your thoughts, actions, and deeds
before you make decisions.
With that in mind, think of the laws of
karma as guidelines to follow as you go
through daily life. The 12 laws of karma can
help you understand how karma really works
and how to create good karma in your life.
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.
“For example, if you want love in your life, be loving to
yourself,”
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.
“You are the co-creator of making what you want, based on your
intentions,”
Also consider how you can use your skills, talents, and
strengths to create something that not only benefits you but
others, too.
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.
For example, if you’re blaming your colleagues for your poor
performance at work, You must accept that you created this
reality by not performing as well as you could have.
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 or personal
growth 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.
5. The law of responsibility
“It’s a reminder that you own what happens to you in life. It’s
a great reminder that what happens to you is because of you.
This eliminates the opportunity for you to look outward to find
the cause of your problems,”
“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.
“If you focus on higher values like love and peace, then you’re
less likely to be distracted by heavy feelings of resentment,
greed, or anger,”
8. The law of giving and hospitality
You must give to the things you believe in. This law helps you
understand the importance of your actions, reflecting your
deeper beliefs.
For example, if you want to live in a peaceful world, you need
to focus on cultivating peace for others.
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. One exercise to get in touch with the here and now is to
get rooted into your senses.
“Look around the room you are in, focus your eyes on something,
blink, and say ‘I am here,’”
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.
“It’s no good living healthily for one day and then sabotaging
it in the next,”
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.
The law of significance and inspiration is a great law to focus
on when you need a motivational boost or begin to feel like you
don’t have a purpose or matter.
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.
