When your mind and heart are truly open abundance will flow to you effortlessly and easily.
Question:
I just began my quest for higher consciousness and am trying to meditate daily on the seven laws of spirituality, which my life coach recommended I begin reading.
My question is this: to put the Law of Karma into effect, you state:
I will then ask my heart for guidance and be guided by its message of comfort or discomfort. If the choice feels comfortable, I will plunge ahead with abandon. If the choice feels uncomfortable, I will pause and see the consequences of my action with my inner vision.
This seems a little simplistic. Some choices we make are difficult and cause us a lot of pain at the moment we are forced to make a decision (i.e., ending a relationship). However, we make this decision hoping to feel better in the long run. In this case, your advice to be guided by comfort or discomfort would not apply.
Answer:
Applying the Law of Karma may be simple in essence, but it is not simplistic. This is a tool to gauge the effects of our actions by listening and feeling inside what the ramifications are, instead of getting caught up in trading emotional hurts or moralizing. By asking you to access your felt sense of inner wisdom, you will get an answer that is more meaningful than a superficial sense of what feels good right now. So even when you are looking for guidance on something as complex as ending a relationship, the comfort level you are using is not what is easy and pleasant, but rather sensing what actions will support your core needs and desires now and in the future. Even if the action requires the pain of leaving a long-term relationship, if it is in your best interests, you should be able to feel that part of you inside that does feel more comfortable in taking that decision. Sometimes all the choices feel uncomfortable. Here you usually need to give yourself some time to deepen your silence and listen to your guidance that lies beneath your pain and confusion.
Love,
