Anyone know how to turn karma into something positive?
Hii all,
My karma is usually neutral lately. Just at the edge mostly. Like, if it gets negative I let it wash over me and then it’s a bad week or two and everything is fine again.
How can I now turn it for the positive? I can’t give others healing, as that can cause bad karma (no one asks for it, so I’d have to force it which is bad) and I can’t do nice things as these don’t seem to add to karma at all. So what can I do?
Much kindness,
CW
Ps: I’m specifically talking karma. So not other spiritual laws. Because I’m best at the karma stuff tbh. I’m less good at others laws that might benefit some

Ask yourself why you wish to be a doer. When you heal, who heals? Are you not but a conduit of God’s energy?
Doership results in karma. When we simply celebrate our aliveness in innocent playfulness, no karma accrues. Past karma plays out, like a dream sequence … we can choose not to react.
We wish to enter Gods heart. Can we first open our heart to Him, inviting Him in? In my view, musings along these lines should help.

i found that if i try to affect karma in a good way, i also accrue more bad karma. It kinda makes sense, karma is reaction to what you've done, and trying to create good karma is just something else you've done lol... apparently there is some balance or other, trying to get what you want this way isn't appreciated...

Hey both,
I figured out a way by which I felt it added up: I simply connect to a guide and ask them how I can serve them. When it’s a positive being it results in a playful yet positive effect

I heard a quote a few weeks ago.
"DESIRE leads to destiny".
They were talking about true desire, desire of the heart and soul, not so much the desires that we might think we "should have" usually for a "because" it will get us sometime else. The something else is the true desire.
Pure desire, something that we move towards and do "just because" we want to, not because we think we should.
I think awareness changes Karma and if you desire a new experience, then you need a new action. All we need to know regarding Karma IMO is what are we sewing right this very moment? As soon as we start sewing something desired, we start to see a change in our destiny and we can start whenever we want to.
I think it's also useful to know that all actions have consequences, both desired and undesired. It's up to us to decide on both, what consequences are we willing to commit to?

Forget the whole idea of positive and negative karma. Better yet forget karma. YOU decide what is positive or negative and what you like or not, that's really what karma is all about. Try turning 'negative' karma into a lesson, you decide the definitions and definitions create your perceptions. Your perceptions are reality.

Yeah I tend to not generalize karma. It’s not about morals in the general way because karma works for a person. For example my karma seems to improve if I openly observe other people and empathize with them (and never tell the wrong person what I saw), however it gets not affected when I’m doing something for someone else when that person has authority and I don’t volunteer. It’s just weird sometimes. I see it a bit as karma tends to steer us towards our purpose. It’s what we are made for. Anything outside of that is neutral, anything against it is negative. It’s why I don’t judge others karma. It’s quite a personal rule.
I do think we can sometimes encounter changes in such rules or laws. Like when we enter this new chapter of our life and we just need something else. Usually that’s what we then desire as well, no (@RedEmbers)?

Positive and negative are your definitions and therefore your perceptual reality. Nothing is inherently either/or, you decide that but what is meant is like or not like, deal with or not deal with. You get the idea. This is how perceptual reality is created, everything IS until we make something of it.
The actual meaning for the Sanskrit word "karma" was was originally 'action', then later on it became 'cause and effect'. Sometime later the ethical component was added and New Age started all this 'positive/negative' stuff.
Y'see, often in the karma discussion nobody mentions Life Purpose/Karmic Obligations, or "We are here to learn the lessons."
Google "kamma-vipaka" it's much more interesting.

Hii Greenslade,
I’m fine by my definition. It works for me. Thanks.

Then to answer your question in the OP, you can just define something as positive instead of negative.
