Consciously set aside things you identify with to reduce your karma
Instructions
-
Every night, sit on your bed, preferably cross-legged, with your eyes closed.
-
Remind yourself that all memory is accumulated from the past.
Everything about you is acquired: your ideas of nationality, race, religion, likes, and dislikes. -
Slowly, gently, set aside everything with which you have a relationship.
This could mean forgetting people, your material possessions, sensations, thoughts, and emotions. Remind yourself that even your body is an accumulation. -
Imagine that you are on your deathbed and that you will die in two minutes.
See your sleep as impending death. You may feel a certain fear and struggle within initially, but it will pass. -
Lie back with your eyes closed and go to sleep
If you do this each night, a great deal of karma can be worked out each night.
