For some reason—probably the two eclipses in July—a lot of my practice with folks has focused on karma this month. The Law of Karma is simple: what goes around, comes around.
At issue are several things: how karma works, how to change it, why to change it, and what to do once it’s changed.
The Sanskrit roots of the word mean act or action. Karma is the universal law that every action has consequences. Not necessarily bad consequences, just consequences.
So what do I see when I intuit that someone is caught in a karmic pattern or a karmic relationship? Usually, I get a sense of stuckness around the person, whether in personal energy or thought patterns. It is often accompanied by a feeling of hopelessness.
Over the years, I’ve discovered that almost all karma can be dissolved with three powerful words, just three.
No, Thank You.
Yep, that’s it. No, thank you. No big ritual. No powerful scenes. Just a simple rejection of the universal invitation to play out a pattern that no longer serves the soul. What the universe takes from these words is: I’ve had enough, I’ve learned the lesson, I’m ready to be done.
What about the other ten or so percent? The kind that stays, that we can’t seem to release, that feels like a playback loop? That can be handled as well, but it can need some additional assistance.
The easiest way to release karma after the nearly fail-proof formula above is by finding out where it lives in the body. When you talk about, think about, reach out to the person involved, there should be a sensation somewhere in the body.
Let’s use a hypothetical. A woman is in a relationship with a man who doesn’t exactly ring her chimes. They fight all the time, and even when things are good, they’re not that good, but she can’t seem to break up with him. That’s when I begin to look for karmic connections.
Mind you, I don’t tell karmic tales. I don’t figure out who was the slave owner and who was the slave. I simply check to see if there’s some power struggle going on between the two people which could be explaine
d by karma.
“Where do you feel it in your body?” I ask.
“In my solar plexus.”
Then, I offer the karmic sufferer an imaginary pair of holy, golden scissors so that she may cut the cords of karma that are binding her to this person. I give instructions to cut the cords front and back for at least nine days. The front cords are about your future with the person, and the back cords are about your past together. Usually it takes far fewer than nine days to complete the actions necessary to make the desired change.
Simple. Effective. Worth it.

How about two words. “I’m responsible.”
