How to Remove Negative Karma & Karma Removal
What is Karma?
Karma is a Sanskrit term meaning action, work, or deed. It also refers to the spiritual principle of cause and effect, generally known as the ‘Principle of Karma.’ Karma is a spiritual principle of bringing on oneself the cause and effect that occur because of the actions of an individual. Religions like Hinduism, Buddhism, Jainism, Sikhism, and Taoism believe in and propagate the philosophy of Karma. They believe that the present Karma can affect the future of a person in their current life and also their future lives.
Nowadays, the concept of Karma and its philosophy is finding acceptance even in the western world.
Good Karma and Bad Karma
There are both desirable and undesirable situations in your life, which are equated to good karma and bad karma. While good karma brings positivity and shine to life, bad karma results in negativity and anxiety. So, essentially, karma is what is happening in your current life situation.
As you repeatedly choose the same actions and thought patterns, you allow karma to stay stuck in the same cycle.
However, you CAN take action to change your negative karmic patterns and live a happier, more fulfilled life. All you need is divine intervention and the guru’s blessings.
Over the weekend, Pillai Center Teacher Gina Guerrieri hosted a FREE Karma Removal Workshop to share the foundations of Dr. Pillai’s karma-removal teachings with you.

Difference between Good Karma and Bad Karma
Based on its nature, a Karma can be labeled as Good Karma or Bad Karma.
1. Good Karma
It is the good actions, thoughts, and deeds of a person that result in positive aspects in his/her day-to-day life. In Sanskrit, good Karma is referred to as Sakarma.
2. Bad Karma
Bad Karma is the thoughts and actions that are subject to negative aspects in our day-to-day life, and they are commonly referred to as Vikarma in Sanskrit.
Different Types Of Karma
Karma is generally classified into four types.
- Prarabdha Karma
- Sanchita Karma
- Agami Karma
- Vartamana Karma
1. Prarabdha, matured, Karma
The word Prarabdha means matured; thus, Prarabdha karma means the ripe Karma, irrespective of your desire or preference, it will follow its course like an arrow that has left the bow. When you perform any deed or action, it is registered in the universe, and it will come to fruition in due course. There is no escape. Whatever you are experiencing presently in your life and that you have no control over is a result of your prārabdha karma.
2. Sanchita Karma
Sanchita is a Sanskrit word meaning “piled up, sanchita karma means “actions that have accumulated.” It is the totality of all good and bad Karma accumulated from an individual’s past lives. Prarabdha karma cannot be changed or removed, but other sanchita karma may be dealt with in future lives or cleared through spiritual practices like prayer, chanting, dharma, Satsang, meditation, and karma yoga.
3. Agami Karma
Agami karma, also known as the Kriyamana karma, is based on the present, in-the-moment actions. In the case of this Karma, an individual has the capability to produce good outcomes for themself in the future. In simple terms, Agami karma is the result of our current actions, decisions, and virtuous works. It is the ability of a person to bring about positive or negative outcomes through their current decision or action.
4. Vartamana Karma
It is also known as Puruṣārtha karma, which is the Karma that you’re going through right now. Managing your accumulated Karma is the key to managing your future. By planting positive seeds now, you can ensure both your short-term and long-term future.
Spirituality and Karma
Karma and spirituality are closely related to each other, and one is incomplete without the other.
Only a person having full faith in his/ her spiritual being can understand Karma and can face its effects with courage and maturity. Likewise, Spirituality blossoms in the person who closely follows his Karma and makes his destiny depending on it.
The Four Main Contributors to Your Karma
So are there any factors that cause the piling up of your karma ?. During the workshop, Gina shared the four main contributors to your karma, namely:
- Your ancestors: You are born with what Dr. Pillai calls “Soul Genetics”, karmic impressions passed down from your family, much like your inherited physical DNA.
- Your Vedic Astrology chart: The celestial energies present at your time of birth have a lasting impact on you, affecting your entire life.
- Your past life actions: When you reincarnate, you bring your past life karma with you.
- Your current lifetime’s thoughts and actions: What you do in this lifetime also influences your karma.
Learn more about these four main karma contributors here.
How to Remove Each of the Four Types of Karma
With knowing the four main contributors of karma, your main objective now should be the removal of negative karma to achieve a “clean slate.”
Ancestral Karma:
When ancestors from this lifetime pass on to soul form, some souls get stuck. When this happens, those souls seek out and gravitate toward the souls of their lineage who can help them. This may happen in the form of feeling their restless thoughts and unfulfilled desires, and wondering where these thoughts are coming from.
Your solution is to make offerings to these souls through performing Tarpanam at home or sponsoring a specialist to perform it for you. Performing these rituals help your ancestor’s soul to attain fulfillment.
Astrological Karma:
Your Vedic Astrology chart is made up of the placement of the planets at the time of your birth. This chart is the karmic planetary blueprint you carry with you through your whole life.
It is useful to be aware of how you are affected by the planets’ placements in your birth chart, and this is why Dr. Pillai recommends a Vedic Astrology reading.
Vedic Astrology brings with it remedies – things you can do to offset negative planetary karma – and during your reading, your astrologer can guide you on what you can do. Performing remedies helps you tackle the ill effects of unfavorable planetary positions.
Past Life Karma:
The patterns of thought and action you experienced in your past lives – especially those left unfulfilled – follow you into your current life. The negative karmas of previous life will influence in an hostile way.
But luckily, you have a choice. You can go through a lifetime full of past karmic patterns repeated over and over again. Or, you can move on and break free from the constraints of your old karma.
Dr. Pillai’s New You program is an affordable introductory course centered around breaking free from your past karma and creating the life you desire. It gives you an overall idea about escaping the clutches of the previous birth karmas.
Current Life Karma:
Any of the actions outlined above will have an effect on your current life karma, which is made up of your ongoing thought patterns and actions. It is very vital to be careful about catching any bad karmas in your current life.
Chanting Om Namah Shivaya and/or Thiru Neela Kantam can help bring in new thoughts and offset negative karmic cycles.
The 13th phase of the Moon is called Pradosham, and is the most powerful time of the month for karma removal. Saturn is a planet strongly tied to karma. When the 13th Moon falls on a Saturday (Saturn-day), it is called Sani Pradosham, and you have heightened opportunity to remove your most stubborn karma.
A coconut breaking ritual is a powerful way to remove karma, especially on Pradosham days.

Your Complete Meditation Guide: Benefits and 7 Simple Ways to Do It Right
In common vernacular the word meditation conjures images of lucky people achieving the nearly impossible: stopping the endless stream of restless and uneasy thoughts that plague our minds on a daily basis.
In reality, meditation can be easy and anyone can benefit even from a 5-minute daily practice.
Meditation’s health benefits are proved by decades-spanning research on its positive effects on blood pressure, immunity, cardiology, psychology and more. Even though our skeptical minds want a quadrillion explanations, these facts are hard to refute.
Imagine you’ve just returned home after a stressful workday. Your energy is failing you and you just want a nap—but dinner needs to be made, another email to a client needs to be sent, and the laundry needs to be done, because you’re out of clean shirts.
Not only do you feel overwhelmed by all the chores awaiting you, but you can’t stop thinking about work issues that you’d rather forget.
Then you sit in your bedroom with your eyes closed, practice a short technique and voila—you feel refreshed, your mind calmer.
What are thoughts?
According to a 2005 article published by the National Science Foundation, a U.S. government agency promoting national health and science, we think between 12,000 and 60,000 thoughts per day—80 percent of these are of a negative nature, while a whopping 95 percent are recycled, repetitive thoughts.
This explains why sometimes even a small difficulty can seem debilitating. In fact, we color the current experience with old interpretations—or negativity bias—and as a result, we might miss a great opportunity.
Remarkably, meditation reduces stress, helps you become more aware of your thoughts and eliminates negativity. So even a short practice can help you create a life of peace, abundance and joy—clearly a pretty impressive feat.
After a short time from your first meditation, you notice the types of thoughts you host in your mind.
Yes, host.
Did you know that we don’t choose most of our thoughts? New studies, for example, show that genetics influence our thought process. The reverse is also true and your emotions influence your genetics, according to a Stanford study.
The ancient yogis observed that we can create a disease in the body through negative thoughts, and we can restore good health through meditation.
In addition, according to both the Vedic and Siddha traditions of India, celestial bodies (planets, constellations and stars) are the main sources of your thoughts—because they’re celestial agents delivering the results of your karma. So difficult planetary alignments lead to negative thought patterns.
Karma is, according to the ancient masters, the reason some people think abundant prosperity thoughts and others a vast number of self-defeating poverty thoughts.
So thoughts are mostly genetic (or soul genetics, as Dr. Pillai calls this process), repetitive, negative, planetary, and in one word—karmic.
Also, did you know that scientific research on thinking patterns—Segerstrom et al., 2003; Segerstrom, Eisenlohr-Moul, & Evans 2010—shows that repetitive thoughts are associated with higher stress levels?
Environment matters, too, and the thoughts you have in a beautiful, green park are very different from the thoughts you get in an industrial area busting with noisy machinery. And—when you are calm and relaxed, you’re more likely to get new, more creative thoughts, meaning you’re better equipped to create the life you want.
Moreover, regardless of the source of your restless and negative thoughts, meditation can restore your well-being and bring you utter positivity—the prerequisites for a happy life.
So to help you build an easy meditation practice and eliminate stressful attempts that can delay its benefits, here for you seven easy steps to regaining peace of mind, enjoying better relationships, and improving your health—all at once.
1. Give Yourself Silence
Noise pollution is insidious. You might not be aware that much stress is generated by all-pervasive noise. Often these sounds turn into blank noise of which you aren’t fully conscious.
Have you ever ignored the background chatter from a TV screen—like the news—during your home activities? Perhaps, you felt a strange anxiety coming up, and when you turned the TV off, you realized you could breathe much better.
Noise adds up. Your refrigerator, media outlets, neighborhood, street traffic, sirens, lawn mowers and construction work can simultaneously vie for your eardrums.
So before starting your meditation give yourself plenty of silence. Close the windows. Turn off unnecessary appliances. Close the door, if someone is talking in another room.
2. Give Yourself Comfort
The mind has a funny but distracting habit—when you’re trying to learn to meditate, it goes to an area of physical discomfort and settles there. So be as comfortable as possible.
Tight belts and clothes stress the body. As a result, the mind is affected, too. Even a wristwatch might be too tight. So if possible, wear some comfortable clothes and remove your shoes and tightly fitting jewelry.
If you’ve been practicing yoga and you’re comfortable sitting on the floor, use a large pillow and begin.
3. Give Yourself Clarity
You already know this: after Thanksgiving or Diwali, your mind is foggy, while your body tries to assimilate the extra sweets and heavy dishes typical of our festivities.
Meditation is best done before eating. If you’re very hungry, you can eat some fruit. Another option, if you aren’t lactose intolerant or vegan, is drinking a little milk.
That said, if all you have is 15 minutes after your lunch break, don’t worry—there isn’t such a thing as a wasted meditation, because its benefits of meditation accumulate over time.
4. Give Yourself Alertness
Sit on the most comfortable chair available. Lying down in bed is also a great option—here, though, there’s the risk of falling asleep. If you’re very tired, that’s fine. Just set a timer so you don’t totally lose consciousness.
Rinsing your face with cool water can help you stay alert. Or, if you’re used to caffeine, a small cup of green tea or coffee before your meditation can help you stay alert. Organic is best, as much drowsiness can be caused by the toxicity of some chemicals in our foods and drinks.
5. Give Yourself Trust
Worrying that your meditation is too short, imperfect or disturbed by too many thoughts, can increase stress. More importantly, this fear doesn’t reflect the truth.
Becoming aware of the many thoughts coming to you during meditation is, in fact, a form of meditation.
Trust that your meditation will calm your mind, bring more creativity and the fulfillment of your wishes.
6. Give Yourself Tools
Needless to say, some techniques of meditation are so advanced that they require higher states of consciousness or even full enlightenment. But for most of us, some traditional, super-easy techniques can be very helpful. Below is a short list.
You can choose one of the following meditation techniques and practice it with your eyes closed. For deeper relaxation and avoiding time concerns, it’s a good idea to use a timer and choose the duration of your practice.
Closing your eyes and being in a darker room helps your brain produce DMT (dimethyltryptamine)—which is believed to lead to deeper states of meditation and better intuition.
- Concentrate on your breath or nostrils. When thoughts come, let them go and again put your attention on the nostrils or breath.
- Meditate on a sound. Mentally repeat a sacred word or sound such as OM, Amen, Peace or Shanti.
- Dr.Pillai’s technique: Observation and detachment. “Observe your thoughts. They are guests in your mind—they check in and check out.” See your thoughts arrive and leave; stay detached.
- Meditate on a mantra—a set of auspicious vibrations that can take you to a higher state of peace and understanding. Some mantras can change your consciousness and help you manifest a desire. Ideally, a mantra must be empowered by your spiritual teacher or an enlightened master through initiation. Dr.Pillai has offered hundreds of free YouTube videos that include initiation into a mantra.
- Contemplate a higher concept. In Vedanta, jnana yogis meditate on a higher principle or divine law. Peace, freedom, truth, service to humanity or compassion are some examples.
- Meditate on a personality. You can keep your thoughts on the outstanding characteristics of a favorite spiritual teacher or celestial archetype. You can imagine Ganesha, Lakshmi, Jesus, Buddha, or anyone else you prefer.
Andrew Newberg, a neuroscientist, explains that visualizing these higher beings or looking at their images lastingly activates significant parts of the brain that lead to deeper compassion and understanding.
Other practices can be done with your eyes open:
- Observing an image of your Guru or celestial being
- Walking meditations
- Listening to melodious music or solfeggio—sounds that vibrate at frequencies that can shift the brain into the alpha state (or deeper levels) of rest and relaxation.
7. Give Yourself Blessings
Another lesser known way meditation works, according to the ancient yogis, is by proxy—or having another person practice a technique or ritual on your behalf to help you attain your goals. The results can be astounding. This method is based on the Vedic principle that everything in the universe is connected.
In the Vedic tradition, mantras recited by another person to benefit you, or a fire ritual performed after stating your name and birth star—the constellation where the Moon was positioned at your birth—are believed to bring miracles of healing, prosperity and relationship.
Enjoy your meditation!

15-Day Karma Program: Day 11
Pleasant Surprises
Pleasant Mattress Surprises. That seems to be a very strange topic to talk about, but this comes out of people’s Midbrain Tapping, outside the Search, and two people, it’s on the feedback if you go to the section people have given the feedback. Two people wanted mattresses, and one person found the mattress surprisingly in a garage sale or something, and another person needed $20 more dollars which she didn’t have to buy a mattress. So she opened her wallet, and then exactly found the $20 dollars to buy the new mattress.
This is exactly what I want to hear. There will be surprises like that, pleasant surprises. So when you are say searching for something, and then you get more than you want – that is within the search. Outside the search, also you benefit. Our problems will be resolved.
You Are Benefitting on Both Levels
Why did I come up with this idea? Because I’ve told you many times, if I ask you to sit down and Tap, you won’t Tap. But then you are engaged in a search, and then when you go and Tap. And then there are two things happening. One the search is a very fruitful search, and then you get more than what you want, and that’s great. And then it has an outside effect, and that is the mattress case. So you are benefitting on both levels. You are benefiting more than what you want by Tapping because if the Midbrain is involved, it will give you surprises. If the Frontal Lobe is involved then it will give you only a directed search and it will also not be satisfying, and frustrating.
I Want You to Get More Involved
So this is what my whole plan for this MidBrain Tapping. So I want you to get more involved. There are 400 or so people, but I am not happy that every one of you is not doing that, but I want to encourage you to do that.
This is going to change your life outside the search as well.
So let’s now do the Tapping.
MidBrain Tapping Technique
Close your eyes.
Now after we have Tapped awhile, even after closing your eyes, you can see the Gates One, Two, Three, Four, and also you can visualize that too.
And this is something you can do when you have perfected this technique.
And until then you have to do the Tapping.
Now go to Gate One, – One Tap, Press hard with the nail.
Feel the energy exploding within the Midbrain, and extending to the Entire Brain.
Gate Two, Tap, Press hard.
Three.
Four.
Now, take your hands off and then look at the spots, Gates One, Two, Three, Four.
Energy exploding within the Midbrain, and then spreading to the Entire Brain.
Now visualize the Red Light starting from Gate One, going up to Gate Four.
Stay in that position for however long you want.
God Bless
