Ep 22: Karma Demystified: How to See the Signs and Follow the Path
I'm beyond excited to share with you some transformative insights from my recent Qigong retreat in the breathtaking landscapes of Scotland. This retreat was not just a getaway; it was a deep dive into the art of energy, guided by my incredible teacher, Darryl Collett. You may remember Darryl from one of our previous podcast episodes, and I’m thrilled to revisit our conversations and explore new depths.
Applying These Insights to Your Life and Business
You might be wondering, what does Qigong and understanding karma have to do with growing my business? Well, in a true Zen way, I would say: Nothing and everything. Being a successful business owner goes hand in hand with personal and spiritual development. You can’t make more money, help more people, or create more freedom in your life without doing the deep inner work at the same time.
A Little Background on Qigong
Qigong, which literally means the art of energy, has been a cornerstone of my life for over 17 years. I've traveled the world, trained with the best teachers, and integrated the essence of these teachings into my programs. It’s a daily practice for me – a source of balance, strength, and deep personal insight.
Karma
This week, the theme that resonated deeply with me was karma. For a long time, I viewed karma as a simple mechanism of reward and punishment: good deeds bring good outcomes, bad deeds bring bad ones. But during this retreat, my perspective shifted dramatically. Karma, as it turns out, is far more intricate and profound than I had imagined.
In this week’s podcast episode, I share some key takeaways from my retreat:
- Karma is Bigger Than Us: It’s intertwined with our past, present, and future, shaping our lives in ways we can’t always understand.
- Flow Over Manipulation: True karma is about clearing energetic blockages and creating a state of ease and flow, rather than trying to manipulate outcomes.
- Self-Care and Sincerity: By nourishing ourselves – physically, mentally, emotionally, and spiritually – we align with positive flow and good karma.
I’m so excited for you to dive into this conversation and reflect on these profound insights. I truly believe it can transform how you view karma and help you create more ease and flow in your life and business.
