Do we feel unlucky? Do we feel that weโ€™ve been dealt an unfair hand? Perhaps we feel burdened by painful feelings or harm that we have received in the past and cannot let go of.
In this course, we will learn how, by applying the law of karma, we can change our experience of the present, heal the past, and create a more fortunate future. We can also begin the process of forgiveness, which requires a deep understanding of our own and othersโ€™ karmic tendencies. It is entirely possible to forgive ourself and all others through gaining a deep understanding of karma.
Weekly topics:
March 2 ~ Blame it on Karma
March 9 ~ Follow Virtuous Paths
March 16 ~ How to Forgive Those who Harm Us
