HOW TO DISSOLVE KARMA
-
This process is mainly controlled by our emotions. It is therefore highly recommended to direct our attention towards our own emotional reaction to an action instead of only concentrating on the physical event. Many events we confront have no connection to the emotions that shoot through us while we experience them. The events merely trigger our dormant feelings. The more we separate the two components the physical events and our emotional reactions to it - the more consciously we can control the karmic mechanisms we are involved in.

Since we continuously manifest part of our existing karma thereby dissolving its attachment to our consciousness the total amount of karmic molecules in our interactive karmic field inevitably become less once we systematically stop binding new karma.

When we follow this strategy, it usually takes only a short time till we experience first results. Our increasing freedom from events we considered unavoidable before, an independence from persons who held unwelcome power over us etc. are our best motivation to progress further towards full self-determination.
This process works far more efficiently if we observe six simple mechanisms:
meeting or at least be less intense. For future encounters we then have established a pattern of behavior that will eventually free us from our previous involuntary reaction.
Certainly, it takes energy to take this path, - more energy than just letting us fall into the familiar irritation, but this is only a small price to pay for freeing our consciousness from an automatic reaction that in the long run will cost us far more energy.
