In Sanskrit, karma literally means “action.” According to experts, there are often misconceptions about what karma really is and how it applies to our lives.What exactly is karma?Tejal Patel, a meditation and mindfulness expert, looks at karma as a cycle of cause and effect that’s about action, not result. “Karma is a philosophy of how to live our lives so we can truly become the best version of ourselves and live the most fulfilling life we desire.” And since the future isn’t set in stone, Patel says we can change the path of our life by the choices, thoughts, and deeds we choose right now.

What Are the 12 Laws of Karma?

When most people talk about karma, they’re likely referring to the great law of cause and effect, Patel says. 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,” she says.

Law # 1 - The great law or the law of cause and effect

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,” Patel says. She recommends asking yourself what you need to release so you can create space for the thing you desire to show up. Also consider how you can use your skills, talents, and strengths to create something that not only benefits you but others, too.

# 2 - The law of creation

According to Paul Harrison, creator of The Daily Meditation, 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, Harrison says you must accept that you created this reality by not performing as well as you could have.

# 3 - The law of humility

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.

#4 - The law of growth

Alex Tran, a yoga instructor based in Seattle, Washington, says the law of responsibility is her favorite law to teach in class. “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,” Tran explains. She likes to use this to describe the karma law of responsibility: “You are the product of the choices you make.”

#5 - The law of responsibility

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,” Harrisons says. And who you will be tomorrow will be the result of your actions today.

#6 - The law of connection

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,” Patel says.

#7 - The law of focus

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, Harrison explains.

#8 - The law of giving and hospitality

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 Patel recommends 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,’” she says.

#9 - The law of here and now

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.

#10 - The law of change

To generate change in the future, Harrison says 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,” he says. Be consistent in your goals, and they will come to fruition.

#11 - The law of patience and reward

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.

#12 - The law of significance and inspiration

The 12 laws of karma can serve as a guideline or road map to follow as you go through your daily life. These laws can help you understand how karma really works, and the effect that your thoughts and actions can have on you and the world around you. Using karma as a set of guidelines in your life can incentivize you to be more mindful of your thoughts, actions, and deeds before you make a decision.

Laws of Karma: 12 Laws and Principles Explained

Flow is defined as an optimal state of consciousness, a state where you feel your best and perform your best. More specifically, the term refers to those moments of rapt attention and total absorption, when you get so focused on the task at hand that everything else disappears. Action and awareness merge. Your sense of self vanishes. Your sense of time distorts (either, typically, speeds up; or, occasionally, slows down). And throughout, all aspects of performance, both mental and physical, go through the roof.

What Is A General Definition On Flow?

The synonyms for flow are endless: peak experiences, being in the zone, runner’s high, being unconscious, the forever box, etc. Flow is something of a technical term. It emerged from psychologist Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi’s early research into the state, where interview subjects—in one of the largest psychological surveys ever conducted— consistently described the experience of flow as one where every decision, every action, flows seamlessly, perfectly, effortlessly. The term “flow” actually describes how the state makes us feel. In short, flow feels flowy.

Where Does The Word “Flow” Come From Anyway?

The research of Csikszentmihalyi and a few other scientists uncovered 10 core characteristics that underpin the state. While each of these phenomena can be experienced independently, when they all show up together—that’s flow. Or, at least, that’s the original idea. The researchers behind Flow Genome Project deviate slightly from this notion. While they absolutely agree that the first 6 of these characteristics constitute flow, they’re not yet convinced the last 4 (intense concentration, immediate feedback, clear goals, and the challenge/skills ratio) are characteristics of the state.

How The Hell Do I Know If I’m “In Flow”?

1. Action and Awareness Merge. The doer and the doing become one. From the perspective of consciousness, we become the action. In other words, actions feel automatic and require little or no additional resources.2. Selflessness. Our sense of self disappears. Our sense of self-consciousness as well. The inner critic is silenced.3. Timelessness. We experience an altered perception of time. Past and future disappear and we are plunged into an eternal present, a deep now.

Flow’s 10 Core Characteristics

4. Effortlessness. Our sense of struggle and strife vanishes. The experience becomes intrinsically-rewarding or—in technical parlance—“autotelic.”5. Paradox of Control. We have a powerful sense of control over the situation. We are captain of our own ship; master of this small slice of destiny.6. Intrinsic Motivation. The experience is intrinsically motivating. We do it for love not money. We do it because the activity itself is so incredibly enthralling that it’s its own reward.

7. Intense Concentration. More specifically, intense concentration on a limited field of information. Total focus on the right here, right now. Complete absorption in the present moment.8. Challenge/Skills Balance. The challenge of the task at hand slightly exceeds our skill set so we have to push ourselves outside our comfort zone. But not too far outside. We have to stretch, not snap.

9. Clear Goals. These are not big goals (like winning the Olympics in downhill skiing), rather they are much smaller chunks (like getting out of the starting gate fast). What’s critical is we know what we’re doing now and we know what we’re doing next so attention can stay focused in the present. 10. Immediate Feedback. The gap between cause and effect is tiny—so we can always course-correct mid-flight.

Yes. Flow comes in two kinds—individual and group. When someone uses the term “flow” they’re describing an individual performing at their very peak. The term “group flow” refers to the shared, collective experience of the state: a group performing at their peak. For a great look at flow, check out Csikszentmihalyi’s book Flow. For a great look at group flow, check out Keith Sawyer’s book, Group Genius.

Are There Different Kinds Of Flow?

Yes. Flow is a spectrum experience. It’s like anger. You can be a little mad or homicidally murderous: same emotion, different degrees. Csikszentmihalyi and Susan Jackson discovered that the same thing is true of flow. You can be in a state of micro-flow—like what happens when you fall into a great conversation at work and one great idea leads to the next great idea and you totally lose track of time; or you can experience a state of macro-flow, where all of flow’s core characteristics show up so strongly that the experience itself takes on otherworldly, quasi-mystical qualities.

Are There Varying Degrees Of Flow?

Flow states have triggers, or pre-conditions that lead to more flow. Essentially, flow can only arise when all of our attention is focused in the present moment, so that’s what these triggers do—they drive attention into the here and now. Put differently, these triggers are the very things that evolution shaped our brain to pay the most attention to, so, in using these triggers to hack flow, we’re really just using evolutionary biology to our advantage.

What’s A “Flow Trigger”?

Csikszentmihalyi identified 4 of these triggers (though he argued they’re characteristics of flow and not triggers of flow). Research by the Flow Genome Project shows that when skillfully deployed (see The Rise of Superman for details), these “characteristics” consistently generate more flow and are better classified as “triggers.” <ol><li>Complete Concentration in the Present Moment </li><li>Immediate Feedback </li><li>Clear Goals </li><li>The Challenge-Skills Ratio (that is, the challenge of the task at hand stretches our skills to the outmost). </li></ol>

Which Are The “Flow Triggers”?

University of North Carolina psychologist Keith Sawyer extended this original list, identifying ten triggers that produce “group flow.”1. Shared Goals (everyone in the group is working towards the same end)2. Close Listening (you’re paying complete attention to what is being said)3. Yes And (conversations are additive, not combative)4. Complete Concentration (total focus in the right here, right now)5. A sense of control (each member of the group feels in control, but still flexible)

Group Flow Triggers

6. Blending Egos (each person can submerge their ego needs into the group’s)7. Equal Participation (skills levels are roughly equal everyone is involved)8. Familiarity (people know one another and understand their tics and tendencies)9. Constant Communication (a group version of immediate feedback)10. Shared, Group Risk (everyone has some skin in the game)

Research with both artists and action and adventure sports athletes have fingered four more triggers (see Rise of Superman for a more detailed breakdown).1. High consequences (that is, some kind of risk: physical, mental, social, emotional, etc.)2. Deep Embodiment (the engagement of multiple sensory streams at once, learning through doing)3. Rich Environment (lots of novelty, complexity, and unpredictability in the environment)4. Creativity (specifically, pattern recognition, or the linking together of new ideas)

More Triggers…?

The process of flow was discovered and coined by the Hungarian-American psychologist Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi. In the 1960s, Csikszentmihalyi studied the creative process and found that, when an artist was in the course of flow, they would persist at their task relentlessly, regardless of hunger or fatigue. He also found that the artist would lose interest after the project was completed, highlighting the importance of the process and not the end result.

FAQs on Flow

Religions, Political Ideologies, and Sports Teams all provide us with sturdy hero systems where participation ensures symbolic immortality.Religion may promise an afterlife allowing us to manage our death anxiety and continue to deny it.The corporate success ladder tells us that financial success or career competence will symbolically protect us from death.Having kids can be seen as an attempt to transcend our biological mortality an attempt to extend our genetic lineage to keep a little bit of us still going.

The crisis with Mortality and Immortality 

Society has always been a symbolic action system. A structure of status and roles, customs and rules of behavior, designed to serve as a vehicle for earthy heroism. We care about ourselves above all else cuz we like to see ourselves as heroes to prove that we count in face of the void. This is measured by our self-worth. The motivating force behind narcissism. So we attach ourselves so firmly to the world of symbols of work, religion, social games, and so forth. Our denial of death and hero systems that emerge as defense allows us to justify great acts of evil. ﻿

Heroism: One of the reasons we felt alive 

The healthy person, the true individual, the self-realized soul... is the one who has transcended himself.

By realizing the truth of his situation, by dispelling the lie of his character, by breaking his spirit out of its condition in prison.

How does one transcend himself?

so you're having an existential crisis

First things first: if you feel an earthquake, resist the urge to run outside. Modern buildings are usually designed to withstand large earthquakes, especially in areas where earthquakes happen frequently, but windows can shatter onto the street below, and exterior masonry may fall off as well. This means there’s a greater chance you’ll be hurt if you’re near a building during an earthquake than if you’re in it. Stay put.

When You Are Inside A Building

Get away from trees and power lines (both of which may topple), as well as buildings (which likely won’t fall but may drop debris on you). If you can shelter in place, do so.

When You Are Outside A Building

<ul><li>Pull over to the side of the road, stop, and set the parking brake.</li><li>Avoid overpasses, bridges, power lines, signs, and other hazards.</li><li>Stay inside the vehicle until the shaking stops, then proceed carefully by avoiding fallen debris, cracked or shifted payment, and emergency vehicles.</li><li>If a power line falls on the car, stay inside until a trained person removes the wire.</li></ul>

If You Are In A Car Or Driving

<ul><li>DROP: Wherever you are, drop onto your hands and knees. This position helps keep you from being knocked down and allows you to crawl to shelter.</li><li>COVER: With one arm and hand, cover your head and neck. If there is a nearby desk or table, crawl under it for shelter. If there’s no shelter, crawl next to an interior wall away from windows.</li><li>HOLD ON: If you’re under shelter, hold onto it with one hand. If there’s no shelter, hold on to your head and neck with both arms and hands.</li></ul>

Drop, Cover And Hold On

<ul><li>Do not run outside. Do: Shelter in place using Drop, Cover, and Hold On. </li><li>Do not get in a doorway. Do: Shelter in place under a table. In modern houses and buildings, doorways are no safer, and they do not protect you from flying or falling objects.</li><li>Do not make phone calls. Do: Text. A text will have a better chance of getting through than a phone call, which is more likely to experience network congestion. Too many calls can overload the communications grid, making it harder for first responders to get their calls. Likewise, don’t call 911 unless you’re experiencing a true emergency. </li></ul>

What to do in an Earthquake? Important Survival & Safety Tips

Research shows that most people who worry too much have difficulty tolerating uncertainty.Whenever they are not 100% sure about Something, even a small question like whether there will be enough parking space at the doctor's office, they tend to worry.But almost everything in life is uncertain because no one can predict the future. If alot of your worries are caused by insecurity,the best way to deal with it is to be more comfortable and sometimes not know it.

1. Increase Your Tolerance For Uncertainty

You can use deep breathing exercises to control your worry and anxiety.Deep breathing is very effective in managing short-term anxiety. If you feel anxious, try taking 10 or 20 slow, deep breaths to calm yourself down.Inhale as deeply as possible, holding the air in your lungs for a few seconds and exhaling slowly. Other effective relaxation techniques include centring, meditation, and mindfulness.

2. Use Relaxation Techniques:

Contrary to current problem solving,concerns about hypothetical situations can not always be addressed by immediate action.For example, taking action today cannot eliminate the worry that your baby will be sick later.Some things are out of your control. The best way to deal with your fear is to write an anxiety script for a hypothetical problem.

3. Write a Warning Script For Concerns About aHypothetical Sit

Anxiety can spiral out of control when you can't let go of a problem too big or too complicated to solve.Instead, try to focus on the things you can Control. Stick to a routine and maintain your regular maintenance network as much as possible. And strive to do things that have a positive impact and have an endpoint.For example, instead of constantly worrying about your neighbors, check-in, do something practical to help, and then stop worrying for a while.

4. Focus On The Things You Can Control:

Laughter is a great way to increase good feelings and relieve tension.The problem for anxious clients is that they take life so seriously that they stop having fun in their life and stop experiencing life's funny moments.Everything becomes a potential problem, not a way of finding joy or pleasure.

5. Have a Good Time

Do constant worry and anxious thoughts
trouble you?

Understand yourself and those around you.

15 Habits That Make You SMARTER Every Day

The following suggestions about how to build trust were provided by Carthage Buckley, a stress and performance coach.

How to Build Trust: 12 General Tips

The point of building trust is for others to believe what you say. Keep in mind, however, that building trust requires not only keeping the promises you make but also not making promises you’re unable to keep.Keeping your word shows others what you expect from them, and in turn, they’ll be more likely to treat you with respect, developing further trust in the process.

1. Be true to your word and follow through with your actions

Poor communication is a major reason why relationships break down. Good communication includes being clear about what you have or have not committed to and what has been agreed upon.Building trust is not without risk. It involves allowing both you and others taking risks to prove trustworthiness. To navigate this, effective communication is key. Without it, you may find the messages you’ve intended to send aren’t the messages that are received.

2. Learn how to communicate effectively with others

Building trust is a daily commitment. Don’t make the mistake of expecting too much too soon. In order to build trust, first take small steps and take on small commitments and then, as trust grows, you will be more at ease with making and accepting bigger commitments. Put trust in, and you will generally get trust in return.

3. Remind yourself that it takes time to build and earn trust

Only make commitments that you are happy to agree to. Have the courage to say “no,” even when it disappoints someone. If you agree to something and can’t follow through, everyone involved is worse off.Be clear about what you have on your plate, and keep track of your commitments. Being organized is a necessary part of building trust with family, friends, and colleagues. It enables you to make a clear decision as to whether to agree to requests of your time and energy.

4. Take time to make decisions and think before acting too quickly

Trust often results from consistency. We tend to have the most trust in people who are there for us consistently through good times and bad. Regularly showing someone that you’re there for them is an effective way to build trust.

5. Value the relationships that you have—and don’t take them for granted

When you take an active role in a team and make contributions, people are more likely to respect and trust you. It’s also imperative when building trust in a team to show your willingness to trust others.Being open and willing to make contributions and to engage demonstrates this. In other words, take what others say into consideration, show that you are listening actively, suggest your thoughts and feedback in a respectful way, and demonstrate that you are willing to be part of the team.

6. Develop your team skills and participate openly

The message you convey should always, always be the truth. If you are caught telling a lie, no matter how small, your trustworthiness will be diminished.

7. Always be honest

Helping another person, even if it provides no benefit to you, builds trust. Authentic kindness helps to build trust.

8. Help people whenever you can

Being open about your emotions is often an effective way to build trust. Furthermore, if people know that you care, they are more likely to trust you.Emotional intelligence plays a role in building trust. Acknowledging your feelings, learning the lessons that prevail, and taking productive action means that you won’t deny reality—this is the key to building trust.

9. Don’t hide your feelings

Acknowledgment and appreciation play an important role in building trust and maintaining good relationships. Recognizing and appreciating the efforts of others shows your talent for leadership and teamwork and increases the trust others have in you.On the other hand, if people don’t demonstrate appreciation for a good deed, they appear selfish. Selfishness destroys trust.

10. Don’t always self-promote

Doing something purely for approval means sacrificing your own values and beliefs. This decreases trust in yourself, your values, and your beliefs. Always doing what you believe is right, even when others disagree, will lead others to respect your honesty.Interestingly, when building trust, you must be willing to upset others on occasion. People tend not to trust those who simply say whatever they think others want to hear.

11. Always do what you believe to be right

When you attempt to hide your mistakes, people know that you are being dishonest. By being open, you show your vulnerable side, and this helps build trust with other people.This is because they perceive you to be more like them—everyone makes mistakes. If you pretend that you never make mistakes, you’ll make it difficult for others to trust you because you have created an unnecessary difference between the two of you. When all that a person sees is the “perfection” you project, they likely won’t trust you.

12. Admit your mistakes

“To be trusted is a greater compliment than being loved.”-George MacDonald “Trust is the glue of life. It's the most essential ingredient in effective communication. It's the foundational principle that holds all relationships.”-Stephen Covey

10 Ways To Build Trust in a Relationship

I believe that luck is when an opportunity comes along and you’re fully prepared for it.

Go confidently in the direction of your dreams and live the life you’ve always envisioned for yourself.

A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step.

To accomplish great things, we need to not only act but also dream. We need to not only plan but also believe. Best wishes!

May you get all of your wishes except for one. That way, you always have something to strive for.

Shallow men believe in luck, while strong men believe in cause and effect.

The mother of good luck is diligence.

The only good luck that many great people had was being born with the determination and ability to overcome bad luck.

Luck is predictable. If you want more luck, be more active and take more chances. Show up more often and the luck will follow.

If you struggle to find the right words, these expressions are the perfect thing to write down in a good luck card or send in a text message before your loved one takes off.
