What you have done causes things to happen. Your situation in life now has been caused, is predicated upon, your previous actions. That is karma.
Frederick Lenz
Image
Keep some of your attention on your navel center when you are in a situation in which you feel your power is being drained. You will find that you will keep your power tighter, you won't lose as much.

Image
When something goes wrong with the body of energy that surrounds and protects your physical body, it will later show up in your physical body. The problem always starts in the subtle physical, and then manifests in the physical.

Image
As you meditate, you will discover, pleasantly, that you too can see beyond this life, that you can see your eternality.
