So I was reading out of Deepak Chopra's book, The Seven Spiritual Laws of Success about Karma and what you can do about it...
I have mentioned before that I am a big believer in Karma and the belief that every that is happening to me now, is a direct result of my previous actions or choices.
For example, if I want happiness in my life I have to make choices that will sow the seeds of happiness for myself and those around me...
In this book Chopra talks about 3 ways to address your individual Karma. One way to simply pay your Karmic debt, and by simply I don't mean easily...sometimes this can involve a great deal of pain. Another way is to transmute your Karma by asking yourself what you can learn from what is happening as a result of your choices and be consciously aware of the life lesson presented to you and how you can apply it to helping others. Third way to address your personal karma is by transcending it. I thought this was so interesting. I can simply go within and get in touch with the Souce for extended periods of time in meditation, and receive a kind of shower for my soul. He says, each time you go into your meditation, you are cleansed a little more of your karma, "you wash the seeds of your karma"...
On an intuitive level I understand how excellent and healing meditation can be, on a physical level I can feel the benefits from meditation in my body and mind, and now on a spiritual level I can transcend my collected karma and actually wash my soul! How wonderful.

That is lovely. Some time ago my intuition told me that karma is created when we are not in our right mind. The image was that when we are aligned with our higher selves and fully present, there is no residue from our thoughts and actions.
Hello Gabi!
I tried calling you tonight and I must have missed you. I think you teach at the early crack of dawn tomorrow. It is raining cats and dogs here and I swore when it rained this hard again I'd go out and play. But it scared me tonight. I like the rain during the daytime, not at night with the wind and the sideways rain.
Jim went to bed and Jesse is in the other room. He was sulking tonight. When I approach him or even if I go into the living room now, he'll get up and go to his room. He's nice about it but I guess that is what 19 year olds do. Plus I don't think he is all that comfortable around me. I wish he was. I really do. I want to be near him and have some kind of special bond but in his mind I am his dad's new wife. And i don't know where he's at with that. Jim said that Jesse used to talk to him all the time and then stopped around the divorce. Of course that coincided with his late teenage years when we all pulled away from the nest and developed our own opinions and such. I am babbling. I wish you were up. Talk to you later.
