A method of clearing
This is one method that I employ:
What I will normally do is to define all these reactions that come into my awareness. Basically, I am training myself to be aware of my own tendencies. I do this in situations that I have a strong reaction to.
How to define these reactions? There are many ways to do that. Below are some examples:
1. Saying out 'how I feel'. Express them.
2. Writing them down in a record book or journal.
What is the purpose of doing this? By defining these reactions, we are recognizing them and thus they (the thought patterns) become known or conscious to our conscious self. By expressing them, more and more of our karmic tendencies will be uncovered (and eventually be understood). This will continue until a time comes when the reactions lose their emotional charges. When they lose their emotional charges... we will be less interested in them... With that, I consider this as having 'cleared the karmic pattern'.
Oh... one more thing to add. The 'external' situation, basically is 'designed' to tell us something about ourself. Sometimes, we may need to apply the 'mirroring' principle. For example, when we encounter a person whom we do not like... check to see deep within our unconscious or subconscious do we have the same pattern. This, to me, is the hardest part to swallow.
Is there a quick and painless way to clear these karmas?... well...not that I know of.
Additional, dream interpretation can also support us in our karmic pattern clearing effort. Dreams often reveal to us our unconscious and subconscious personality aspects. As such, the ability to decipher dreams greatly assists in the understanding of ourselves and our thought patterns.
Thank you for reading.
