Set a timer to remind you every two hours, to STOP. Pause in the midst of your busy life, and look back over the last two hours. What happened? Positive, then negative. Just a few words or a sentence. If you are monitoring karma, you would write in 8am, negative: Killing, and in the positive, did you save lives? 10 am Sexual misconduct in the negative and respecting others’ bodies in the positive…continue with the other eight karmas. Alternatively, you could take one karma every day, starting with Killing and Saving Lives, continue each day with the next one. At the end of the day, sit comfortably, go back through the day from the last entry, rejoicing in the positive and regretting the negative and making a decision on how to purify the negative karma you have found.
