When the Mind isn't Enough - Dealing with Karma

There comes a point on the path where you realise that the mind cannot solve all of the problems that life throws your way. In fact for some problems it becomes more a hindrance than a help.
Why?
Because some issues are Karmic. This means that at some point the soul has become identified with the limitation of the physical, emotional or mental.
Karma is stored in the causal density, what some call the astral plane. It is easiest to connect with through the subconscious, particularly in the dreamtime. This is beyond the logical mind, which is why it can't be solved with it.
How do you know if it's Karma?
It's usually when life throws you a curve ball - suddenly your reality is not as it was before.
A sudden physical injury or illness, a radical change in perspective or how your reality feels to you. These are all signs of Karma activating.
How to deal with it?
1) Recognise that this is not happening TO you - it's happening FOR you. Clearing this karma means a significant upgrade in clarity, peace and expansion. So take responsibility for it. Accept it fully.
2) How does it make you feel? Are you restricted? Are you feeling abandoned? Shut out? Fearful of losing control? Distrustful of life? Go with that feeling. Invite it in fully and be with it without needing it to go away.
Note: This may or may not bring up visualisations of past lives. If so, don't get caught up in the story - simply feel what it activates in you.
3) Notice how the energy wants to transform. Not forcing it, but intuitively helping it along what already wants to happen. No need to over analyse - your intuition knows whats best. Move with it, breathe with it, make sound.
4) Feel the expansion of your field and the Karma is transformed. It usually feels lighter, more coherent. How are you being invited to express now?
If you think you might be experiencing Karma, it can be significantly helpful to get help from a facilitator who is experienced with it. It's helpful because they can recognise the signs, read your field and give you words, phrases or questions to bring you deeper.
They need to be able to hold you through the pain, not pushing but gently bringing you forward. They need to know how karma works energetically so as to guide you through it energetically (not just with mind based strategies).
