Don't create bad karma

To avoid increasing bad karma - conscious action and change of mind
In our daily lives, we often repeatedly practice habitual judgments of others, anger, and verbal harm. Sometimes you may lie right away. These actions can lead to increased bad karma. Bad karma is the root of the suffering and difficulties we face, and reducing it is an important step to living a more peaceful and happy life.
In order to avoid increasing bad karma, it is essential to consciously face each and every act. It is important to avoid the emotional responses that arise from unconscious habits, listen to the voice of your conscience, learn from past mistakes, and always strive to improve yourself.
Deepen your understanding of karma - Beyond mere causal retribution
Karma is not simply a simple law of causality, where "good deeds are good and bad deeds are bad." It can be seen as a chain of energy where our thoughts, emotions and actions continue to influence ourselves and the world around us. All actions spread like ripples of energy, affecting not only yourself, but also those around you and the environment.
To reduce bad karma, it is important not only to not do "bad things," but to actively do "good things," that is, to develop a state of mind: love, mercy, joy, and calm. Positive states of mind create positive energy and increase good karma.
Karma is formed not only by the consequences of past actions, but also by the current choice. How you think, feel and act now shape your future self. Not only will you regret your past actions, but you also make conscious choices for the future are key to improving your karma.
Listen to the voice of conscience and follow the inner guidance
We all have a voice of inner conscience. It's like a compass that shows the right path. However, in the midst of everyday life, we often miss that voice. To listen to the voice of your conscience, it is important to have time to face yourself in tranquility.
- Practice of meditation: By sitting quietly and focusing on your breath, you can observe the flow of thoughts and emotions, and regain the tranquility of your mind. Meditation is a warm-up exercise to clearly hear the voice of your conscience.
- Using journaling - By writing out daily events and emotions, you can objectively understand your own patterns of behavior and thought habits. In particular, writing down what you hurt or regret others can help you reflect on and find areas for improvement.
- Practice gratitude - Finding and writing down things you can be grateful for every day will help you develop positive emotions and deepen your compassion for others. Appreciation is a fertile ground for being sensitive to the voice of conscience.
Avoid emotional responses and understand mental triggers
We are emotional creatures. Negative emotions such as anger, sadness, and anxiety are natural reactions that can occur to everyone. However, if you are controlled by these emotions and take impulsive behavior, you will increase your bad karma. To avoid emotional responses, it is important to understand the triggers of your mind and learn techniques to control your emotions.
- Identifying the trigger and understanding what situations and words will cause your anger and anxiety will help you prepare in advance. For example, if you know that a particular person or topic can stir your emotions, you can distance yourself and develop strategies to respond calmly.
- Practice Stop Techniques: When anger or anxiety rises, you can stop your actions by taking deep breaths, meditating, or going for a walk, and stopping your actions. By temporarily leaving the situation, you can regain your calmness and choose a more appropriate response.
- Learning and negative situations can be reviewed from a different angle, and emotional responses can be changed. For example, failure can be seen as an "opportunity for learning" or criticism can be seen as a "food of growth." Changing the interpretation of a situation also changes emotional responses.
Practice of Patanjali's teachings and use the wisdom of yoga
In "Yoga Sutra," Patanjali conveys wisdom to control the state of mind and promote mental growth. Once you get angry, it is important to think about and put into practice the opposite of anger, "forgiveness." Forgiveness not only leads to forgive others, but also to forgive yourself. Forgiveness is essential to move forward towards the future, not being trapped by past events.
If you are ruled by anxiety and fear, you will think about courage. Confronting anxiety and fear is an opportunity for self-development. Having the courage to take small steps will help you gain confidence and overcome difficulties.
Patanjali's teachings are not merely theory, but are acquired through practice. By incorporating yoga asanas (poses), breathing techniques, meditation, and other things into your daily life, you can stabilize your mental state and improve your ability to control your emotions.
Understanding the power of silence and the weight of words
Words are a powerful tool for us. Words can encourage, encourage and give people hope. But at the same time, it can also injure, despair, and destroy others. Before you speak up, it is important to ask yourself whether it is true, necessary, or beneficial.
When choosing words, you need to always think in the other person's position. Avoid words that can hurt others and choose words that are considerate. Silence gives you time to calmly assess the situation and choose the right action. Sometimes, not saying anything is the best option.
Continuing the journey of patience and self-improvement
It takes time to change your habits. It is important not to rush, but slowly improve one step at a time. Setting goals and breaking down the journey to achieving them makes it easier to maintain motivation.
Even if you fail, it is important to not blaming yourself, but to learn from it and continue to have the desire to try again. Self-improvement is a lifelong journey. Even when faced with difficulties, keeping your efforts without giving up is the key to achieving your goals in the end.
The wise man's words and lifestyle as an example
The wise man chooses words that speak the truth and enhance others. They act not from self-centered motivations but from a heart of love and mercy. By reassessing the words and actions of wise men, you can move in the better direction.
Fools prioritize self-interest and hurt others. They must accept the consequences of their actions. It is important to use the fool's actions as a negative teacher and be careful not to repeat the same mistake.
Use of references and deepen your knowledge of yoga
Books such as "Kuriya Yoga: The Light that Lights the Way" and "Patanjali and the Yogass of Siddha" are valuable resources to help you learn more about yoga philosophy and practice. It is important to use these books as a reference and incorporate yoga teaching into your daily life in a way that suits you.
By leveraging resources such as the Internet and libraries, deepening your knowledge of yoga can help you make your journey of self-improvement more effective.
Continuing practice and a better future
Efforts to reduce bad karma are a lifelong journey. Don't give up, consciously improve your actions every day and continue to develop a heart of love and compassion is the key to living a happy and peaceful life.
It doesn't matter if it's just a small thing. For example, it is important to accumulate good deeds as much as possible, such as meditating little by little every day, expressing gratitude in words, and helping people in need.
By improving your own behavior, you can have a positive impact on those around you and contribute to building a better society.
