Years ago my higher self revealed the definition of karma as every action done apart from God. In other words, choices we make that are out of alignment with life. Each unconscious choice makes a mess that stands between us and feelings of peace and well being that are our birthright.
Karmic messes also dilute our energy and slow down the natural blessings that come when we are clear inside.
The only way to get back on track is to take right action consistently. When we act in alignment with our higher self, messes we’ve made are slowly cleaned up.
One thing I’ve observed though, is that there is always a lag time – you may have cleaned up the karma with diligent action, but the residue is still burning off. This can be a very frustrating time because you know your doing the right thing, but are not seeing the results you’d like.
What I’d like to say is keep on keepin’ on. It will come. Whether it’s inner peace your seeking or something external – keep taking right action knowing that the fruit of your labor is sure to be sweet.
