Exploring the Dance Between Karma and Devotion

The Dance Between Karma and Devotion: What Are You Really Creating?

Have you ever felt like you’re running in circles — like no matter how much inner work you do, certain patterns just won’t budge?

Maybe it’s a relationship that keeps repeating the same frustrating cycles.
Maybe it’s a goal that feels endlessly out of reach.
Or maybe you’re watching the same limiting beliefs play out — over and over again — no matter how much you try to shift them.

I’ve been there too.

For so long, I believed these frustrating patterns were just karma — the result of past actions playing out beyond my control.

But while writing Devotion: The Power to Create, I had a profound realization — one that completely changed my perspective on karma:

Karma isn’t just something that happens to us. It’s a response to our devotion in action.

Devotion: The Hidden Catalyst of Karma

We often think of devotion as a feeling — a deep love, reverence, or spiritual focus. And yes, devotion can be all of those things.

But at its core, devotion is a current of energy — a powerful force that flows wherever our attention, emotions, and focus are directed.

That’s what makes devotion so powerful — it’s constantly creating.

Wherever our devotion flows, karma follows.

If we unconsciously devote ourselves to worry, self-doubt, or resentment — those energies quietly shape our lives.
If we consciously devote ourselves to love, growth, or trust — those energies expand as well.

Karma doesn’t “punish” or “reward” us — it reflects our devotion back to us.

This means we are not passive recipients of fate — we are active participants in shaping our experiences.

Tracing Your Devotion: A Reflective Practice

The most powerful way to understand how devotion is shaping your life is to trace it back to its source.

I invite you to try this simple reflection:

1. Choose a Recent Manifestation

Think of a significant event in your life — whether it was a success, a challenge, or a turning point.

2. Reflect on Your Devotion

Before this event unfolded, what were you consistently focusing on? What emotions, thoughts, or beliefs had your attention?

3. Trace the Steps Backward

Look at the chain of actions that led to this experience. How did your devotion — conscious or unconscious — play a role in shaping what unfolded?

4. Identify the Root Seed

Go deeper. What sparked your devotion in the first place? Was it a longing? A fear? A deep sense of purpose?

5. Observe the Karmic Response

What has been mirrored back to you? What patterns, lessons, or opportunities for growth have emerged as a result?

6. Set Future Devotions with Intention

Now that you’ve seen how your devotion has shaped your past, ask yourself:
💫 What do I now choose to devote myself to?
💫 How can I align my devotion with my highest self?

Why This Practice Matters Now More Than Ever

We are living in a time of intense energy — where the momentum of our thoughts, feelings, and focus is magnified.

This is why consciously directing our devotion is so vital.

Every day, we’re making silent energetic choices — and those choices are shaping not only our individual lives but the collective energy of the world.

The Light Council recently reminded me of this truth:

“Our responsibility is to maintain our high vibration regardless of what is occurring around us; being loving, having compassion no matter what — make this your main focus.”

When we understand that karma follows devotion, we stop feeling powerless. We begin to recognize that we are creators — shaping our experiences through every choice we make.

This is how we reclaim our energy.
This is how we change our lives.
This is how we consciously create.

An Invitation to Direct Your Devotion

I invite you to take a few moments today to pause and reflect:

💫 What am I unconsciously devoting myself to?
💫 Where do I want to direct my devotion moving forward?

Conscious devotion doesn’t just transform your personal life — it shapes the world around you.
