Understanding the Concept of Karma
In Qigong, karma is not just an idea to think about—it is something we can reflect on in the way we live, feel, practice, and respond to life.
Every thought, action, and intention leaves an imprint. Through steady practice, we can become more aware, more balanced, and more aligned with the kind of energy we want to cultivate.
Karma is not about punishment or reward but about learning and balance.
It encourages mindfulness and responsibility in our actions, as positive actions foster harmonious energy, while negative actions lead to discord and struggles.
In the practice of Qigong, the concept of Karma aligns with the flow of energy that surrounds and moves within us.
By using Qigong techniques such as meditation, movement, visualization, and sound healing, we can clear stagnant or negative energy and naturally attract positive outcomes.
These practices help us reset, cultivate new positive energy, and move forward with a sense of purpose and clarity.

Key Point Summary
Karma is a universal law of cause and effect, where every action returns to the individual.
The Law of Karma is unchangeable, much like natural laws, and operates with its own set of rules.
Qigong can help us recognize unhealthy patterns, restore balance, and support healing through greater awareness and compassion.
Why Is Karma Referred to as a “Law”?
Just as certain actions lead to specific physical effects, karma teaches that every action—whether thought, word, or deed—creates a ripple that eventually returns to us.
In many spiritual traditions, karma is understood as a universal principle of cause and effect.
Understanding karma's inherent rules allows us to navigate life with mindfulness and compassion.
By aligning ourselves with these principles, we can transcend the cycles of karma and take steps toward greater freedom and balance.

Karma in Daily Life
Karma is not only a spiritual idea—it is something we can observe in everyday life. The thoughts we hold, the words we speak, and the actions we repeat all leave an imprint on our energy and influence the direction of our lives.
When we feed anger, fear, impatience, or unhealthy habits, those patterns often return to us in one form or another. When we cultivate kindness, patience, gratitude, and self-discipline, we begin to create different results within ourselves and in the world around us.
This is one of the reasons Qigong practice is so valuable. Through breath, movement, stillness, and awareness, we learn to recognize our patterns more clearly. Over time, we can shift what is out of balance and support a more centered, compassionate, and harmonious life.
Seen in this way, karma is not only about past and future lives. It is also active in the choices we make each day and in the quality of energy we bring to our practice and our lives.
This understanding becomes even deeper when we look at karma across the broader cycles of past, present, and future.
The Cycles of Karma: Past, Present, and Future
As stated by Emei Qigong, Grandmaster Fu Wei Zhong in his Book, The Healing Arts of Emei Qigong, Karma flows through time, affecting our past, present, and future.
The karma of the immediate past life
The karma being created in this life
The karma that continues into the next life
Karma moves within the three lives and continues on to the next three lives. Therefore if you want to know what Karma you planted in your past life, you have to look at what you are receiving in this life.
If you want to know what the Karma you are planting for your next life, look at the things you are doing now.
Beyond this, the broad cycle of karma represents the ongoing process of life, death, and rebirth, akin to the transformation of a butterfly: from egg to caterpillar, chrysalis, and finally, butterfly.
In practices like Emei Qigong, understanding karma’s cycles helps us clear stagnant energy and align with our highest potential.
Recognizing how past actions influence the present and how current choices shape the future empowers us to cultivate balance, peace, and harmony in our lives.
