There are some laws of Karma which are described as follows:

1. The great law

The first law has another meaning. The law of cause and effects. When most people think about Karma’s meaning, the great law comes to their mind. According to this law, whatever energy or thoughts we put out, we get the same back good or bad. Jennifer Gray, who has life coach certification says “It’s like sowing and reaping. If you plant love and kindness, you shall get that in return.”

This law, as its name implies is all about creating. Don’t wait for extraordinary things to happen. In fact, you should seek them and make them happen. For example, Gennifer Gray points out Oprah, and Beyoncés in her statements that they are true examples of the Karmik law. She says “They have used their talents, gifts, and abilities to bless the world. They are constantly creating something, not just for the benefit of themselves but also for the benefit of others.”

Gray says “They are strong, kind, generous, and very humble people. But when they all started on their paths, they had to accept certain things about themselves and society.”

A healthy, successful, and happy future awaits you if you will be able to be aware of your role of yourself and aspects of it in your life.

Gray’s statements show that we are responsible for the way we choose to live our lives, not anyone else as well as our responsibility for how we allow others to treat us and how we treat other people. If you take responsibility for your role in life in any situation, you can put this law into practice.

6. The law of change

When you are experiencing a repetitive situation, the world is warning you that you need a change. In other words, it is a sign from the universe to you in order to learn a lesson. Gray says this pattern will continue repetitively until you realize that this vicious cycle should be stopped. She also says “To change the pattern and the problem, we must be able to connect thoughts and feelings and then proceed to adjust and make changes accordingly”
