Effortless Flow and Boundless Action
Hi everyone and welcome back!! 🙂 And welcome to the newcomers - we are at 85 subscribers now!! Woot woot!
Today we’re going to talk about kriya, or effortless flow. But first, let’s talk about karma. I learned about these from the book, Discover Your Dharma by Sahara Rose.
Karma, or Bound Action
We often think of karma as meaning “what goes around comes around”. And while yes that is part of it, karma is much more. First of all, karma can span lifetimes. But more importantly, karma is the energetic feedback that results from the actions we took were not in alignment with our soul’s purpose and intentions.
Example: let’s say you stayed in a relationship too long. You knew this person wasn’t quite right for you, but you’re delaying the inevitable: the break-up. As time goes by, subtle signs and feelings tell you the relationship needs to end. As you choose not to listen, more and more signs hit you square in the face saying “time to get out”. You still don’t listen.
Eventually, something outrageously chaotic happens and you finally say, “okay”. This can be applied to anything out of alignment - friendships, jobs, locations, etc. Maybe something that once was in alignment is now no longer in alignment.
Karma is like the guardrails on the highway of life that you are on. The further you stray away from your true inner being (the middle of the highway), the louder and bigger the crash.
It’s the universe’s way of telling you - this is not in alignment and you need to listen to the whispers of your soul.
Kriya, or Boundless Action
Kriya is our true flow. Kriya is a Sanskrit word for effortless flow and boundless action. Kriya the energetic feedback of you living in alignment with your soul. You feel really good and doors open for you. You meet the right people at the right times. You attract the right opportunities.
Example: I made an e-book on manifestation to help solidify my knowledge of the Law of Attraction as well as help others to understand it better and manifest more fulfilling lives for themselves. This very e-book was turned into an in-person workshop!
The idea was born by the universe and worked through my friend, Mandy, who hosts an Open Art Studio for painting that I attend on the weekends.
It’s like the universe was giving me a little boost to try and be of service in new ways. It feels fantastic!
The Vibrations of Karma
Both karma (bounded action) and kriya (boundless action) carry different vibrational frequencies. Vibrations are tied to your emotional state.
Karma is a low-vibrational, survival state. It’s where we stay in when are operating from fear. From birth to adulthood, we are all taught how to “play it safe” by abandoning our dharmas (soul purposes) and becoming obedient robot workers.
We forgo our intuition and creativity to produce outcomes at insane rates. Essentially, we give up fun for benefits.
The energy of karma: If you feel like life is just a series of unfortunate events, if you feel like life isn’t fair, if you feel like you’re putting out fire after fire, you are likely being ruled by karma. You have strayed away from your internal truth. The universe is reminding you to turn your attention inwards for your soul’s truth.
That’s the first step towards moving into kriya.
The Vibrational State of Kriya
Kriya is a high-vibrational state, because kriya is attached to anything in alignment with your soul’s intentions. Your soul is your internal compass, and anytime you choose it over anything else, the universe will reward you.
This is where life gets really delicious because you are tapped into a state of joy, abundance, creativity, and purpose. This is where you attract all the right people, opportunities, abundance, and more!
The energy of kriya: Finding the right podcast at the perfect time and it teaches you or inspires you in some way. Same for books, blog posts, or teachers/courses that your soul was looking for! Perhaps they inspire you to create something of your own based on what you learned!
Even if you encounter something difficult when in kriya, you know how to remain positive and grateful for the experience. In this way, your soul gets to evolve.
Karma = no fun, Kriya = really fun!
When you are in kriya, you can feel your heart open up because what you are doing feels so good to you. And because it’s a high-vibrational way of being, it is often in service to other people. For example, when people tell me how much I’ve helped or inspired them (either from this blog or in live conversation, I feel really happy and good!)
Raise Your Vibration
The more you try to raise your vibration, the more kriya you’ll encounter, because high-vibrations are the vibrations of your soul.
Here are some simple ways to raise your vibration:
Meditate
Practice affirmations
Write down your gratitude
Make a joy list
Do something on your joy list
Take a walk in nature
Sit in the sun and listen to the birds
Pet your dog (or any dog!)
Listen to some music you love
Dance!
Conclusion
When you are in kriya, you feel energized and in flow. It’s such a good feeling. I feel this way when I write this blog, have spiritual conversations, read spiritual books, meditate, or bake.
When you are in karma, you encounter roadblocks. It’s less fun, but necessary for you to redirect your attention to your soul’s true intentions while on Earth.
I’d love to hear – When do you feel like you are in kriya (effortless flow)? What makes you feel really GOOD? What is something you do that feels so fun, you totally lose track of time?
Have fun and be well!
Love,
Angeli
