1. Technique for clearing karmic links / hooks with other people

Tip: Use this Karmic clearing technique whilst in the emotion, your can recreate the emotion that you feel towards that person through concentrated visualisation.

1. Ground yourself. Your earth base must connect with the emotional base. Ie. Root to heart. Breath internally between the two chakras to establish the link: Breath in from root to heart, out from heart to root.
2. Visualise the person
3. How do you feel?
4. What do you want to say to them? Maybe write it down.
5. Visualise chords running between you. They represent the karmic links.
6. Cut the chords. Keep going until you feel free…
7. Affirm your and their energy. Ie. protect your energy: eg.
Inhale to base of spine, heart opens , you ask:
‘ may what is mine return to me and what is theirs be offered back to them.’
8. List what you are grateful for from that person. This is a karmic goodbye.
9. If you like, do it from the other side. Visualise yourself as them and repeat the process.


2. Technique

Here are the basic steps of the contemplation. The theatre setting is simply a way of making yourself an observer of the process, of giving you a visual image of separating the subtle body from the physical body. It makes the feeling of clearing layers from the subtle body more real.

1. Sit quietly, center yourself on the breath.
2. Imagine yourself sitting in a theatre, in front of a stage.
3. On the stage is a fire pit, with a bright fire blazing in it.
4. You imagine your subtle energy body stepping onto the stage. It is as if you are dreaming, and watch yourself moving in the dream. You, as your subtle body, stand before the fire, and offer salutations to the fire. You say to the fire, ‘O fire of my awareness, sacred flame, you are the pure flame that illuminates my experience. I love and appreciate your beauty and power. Please receive the layers of karmas and obscurations that I will offer, and transmute them into light and energy.’
5. Now, you begin to peel off layers, skins of karmas from your body. You peel each layer off like a stocking, and throw it into the fire. As you do, think what the layer is that you offer. A layer of sadness. A layer of anger. An old idea about yourself. A layer of muscular tension. A layer of old concepts about who you are. A layer of beliefs imposed by your parents. A layer of suspicion. A layer of pride. A layer of fear. (With all of these, there might be a sense that there are several layers). The grief from an old love affair. A layer of expectation. As you peel off the layers, you gently offer them into the fire, and you see the fire blazing with each new layer.
6. When you sense that you have done, for now (you can always comeback to it at another time), look into the fire, and see that fire now flowing into your body. It fills your body with light and energy.
7. Sit for a moment feeling the presence of the fire, which has consumed so many layers of your karma and now blazes inside you as the loving light of awareness and truth.

8. You might want to bring the fire into your heart, now, and breathe gently in and out through the heart, letting the inhalation feed the glowing fire in the heart, letting the exhalation expand the energy of the heart flame through your body.

Hari Om tat sat.
