Karma, a concept rooted in various Eastern philosophies,
is the belief that our actions have consequences that ripple through time and space. It suggests that both good and bad deeds will eventually return to the individual, shaping their lives in meaningful ways. In this blog post, we will delve into the concept of karma and explore the implications of treating people badly. We'll discuss the science behind karma, the role of empathy, and ways to break the cycle of negativity. So, let's embark on this journey of understanding and self-reflection.
The Science Behind Karma
While the idea of karma can be seen as a spiritual or philosophical concept, it also finds support in the field of psychology. Research has shown that our actions can create a ripple effect, influencing not just the person we interact with, but also their social network. This phenomenon, known as 'emotional contagion,' demonstrates that both positive and negative emotions can spread like a virus.
Treating someone poorly can lead to increased stress and anxiety, which can, in turn, affect their interactions with others. This chain reaction perpetuates negative energy, eventually returning to the person who initiated the harmful behavior. This cycle of negativity is not only detrimental to our emotional well-being but can also manifest in physical ailments and reduced life satisfaction.
Empathy: The Key to Breaking the Cycle
Empathy, the ability to understand and share the feelings of others, is crucial in breaking the cycle of negativity. By putting ourselves in another person's shoes, we can recognize the consequences of our actions and better understand the impact of our behavior.
Empathy helps us to connect with others on a deeper level, fostering positive relationships and promoting a sense of belonging. As we become more empathetic, we are more likely to treat others with kindness and compassion, further spreading positive energy and contributing to the collective well-being of our communities.
How to Cultivate Empathy and Positive Karma
Practice active listening: Give your undivided attention to the person speaking, allowing them to express their thoughts and feelings without interruption. This simple act can create a strong connection and encourage an open, honest conversation.
Develop emotional intelligence: Work on understanding and managing your own emotions to better navigate interpersonal relationships. Emotional intelligence plays a significant role in building empathy and fostering healthy communication.
Engage in acts of kindness: Small acts of kindness can have a profound impact on others and contribute to a positive, supportive environment. Simple gestures like offering a helping hand, lending an ear, or sharing a smile can create a ripple effect of positivity.
Reflect on your actions: Regularly take the time to evaluate your behavior and its impact on others. This self-reflection can help you identify areas for improvement and encourage personal growth.
Learn from your mistakes: Acknowledge your shortcomings and view them as opportunities for growth. By learning from our mistakes, we can make conscious efforts to change our behavior and create positive outcomes in the future.
The concept of karma serves as a reminder that our actions have far-reaching consequences.
Treating people badly not only harms the individuals directly involved but can also create a domino effect of negativity that permeates our social networks. By cultivating empathy and actively working towards personal growth, we can break the cycle of negativity and contribute to a more harmonious, compassionate world.
Ultimately, the circle of karma encourages us to take responsibility for our actions and strive to be the best version of ourselves.

Patterns: the Building Blocks of the World Around Us
By understanding patterns, we can gain a deeper understanding of the world around us and appreciate the beauty and complexity of the universe……
Patterns are everywhere in the world around us, from the stripes on a zebra to the stars in the sky.
They are an essential aspect of human perception and understanding, providing a way to organize and make sense of the complexity of the world. In this article, we will explore what patterns are, why they matter, and how they can be used in various fields.
What are patterns?
A pattern can be defined as a repeated design or sequence that is recognizable or predictable. Patterns can be found in many forms, such as visual patterns, sound patterns, behavioral patterns, or mathematical patterns. They are often used in art, design, mathematics, science, and many other fields to create order and meaning.
One of the most common forms of patterns is visual patterns, which can be found in nature, art, and many other aspects of human life. For example, the spirals in a seashell or the veins in a leaf are visual patterns that occur in the natural world. In art, patterns are often used to create visual interest and can be found in a wide range of media, such as textiles, ceramics, and painting.
Why do patterns matter?
Patterns are important because they help us make sense of the world around us. They allow us to organize and categorize information, which can help us identify and understand complex relationships. For example, patterns in mathematical sequences or equations can help scientists and mathematicians understand and predict the behavior of physical phenomena.
In addition, patterns can be used as a powerful tool for communication. Visual patterns, for example, can convey information and meaning without the use of words. In some cultures, patterns are used to represent ideas, beliefs, or cultural traditions. For example, traditional patterns in African textiles often have specific meanings and represent important cultural values.
How are patterns used in various fields?
Patterns are used in many different fields, from mathematics and science to art and design. In mathematics, patterns are used to identify and understand relationships between numbers or other mathematical concepts. In science, patterns are often used to identify trends in data or to predict the behavior of complex systems.
In art and design, patterns are often used as a way to create visual interest and to convey meaning. Patterns can be found in many different media, from textiles and ceramics to painting and graphic design. In architecture, patterns are used to create visual interest and to enhance the aesthetic appeal of buildings.
Conclusion
Patterns are an essential aspect of human perception and understanding, providing a way to organize and make sense of the complexity of the world. They can be found in many forms, such as visual patterns, sound patterns, behavioral patterns, or mathematical patterns, and are used in various fields, such as mathematics, science, art, and design. By understanding patterns, we can gain a deeper understanding of the world around us and appreciate the beauty and complexity of the universe.

So what exactly is all this “inner peace” shit all about?…..
So , what exactly is all this “inner peace” shit all about and how can the world be changed by someone who decides to look within with Life in Synergy® wellness programs you say?
Well, lets start off with the concept of waking up to see that all this mumbo jumbo spiritual stuff is indeed real and not the bill of goods that has been tainted by countless years of abuse by religion, false gurus, online “spiritual teacher” marketers, cult like practices and for some reason, anyone who wears yoga pants 24/7and calls themselves “ a spiritual teacher” because they are flexible.
Now if I sound like a bitter old bastard, I am not.
What I am saying is from a lifetime of professional experience and co owning 2 highly successful wellness studios in Boston for decades. If you have cured the blind, changed the energy of infertile women to allow them to have children, ended lifelong migraines in a single session, cured life long chronic back pain in a single setting, altered the course of countless lives by only using my connection to the cosmic mind and energy field, then you can tell me to clam up, if not, then clam up and read on because I am speaking the absolute frigging truth to you.
You are a broadcast tower that sends out the signal of who you are and affects the zone you are in. To coin a phrase I said to a very well know musician client that I helped years ago with a variety of issues, whom later used my teachings in a song that he wrote “ You are one with everything, theres no where to run”.
My wife and I live in Massachusetts and as I write this blog , a story was just released saying that Massachusetts is the best place to live. In fact, Massachusetts was named the best state in the U.S. to raise a family, read here. The town we live in was also voted the safest town to live in the entire country 2x. Now is this because of us and our practices? Ab-so-friggin-lutely.
Imagine states ( or countries) where there is ongoing turmoil like earthquakes, destruction, violence, racism, deception, sexism, jealousy, greed, lies, theft, etc? Well that is because the vibe needs to be ascended in areas like that and that in many ways they are stuck in a vortex of timeless repetition by the blind leading the blind. We are energy contained in a human form and leave an imprint wherever we go and if a person is full of shit, a liar, thief, etc…then that energy will stack up upon the layers of the like and well, turmoil will be the outcome. If however, you work on yourself and your deeper understanding of “it” all, then your vibe alters ALL that is around you and yup, you then live in the best state in the country and the safest town in the country. But if you are a liar you have a liar vibe, thief? thief vibe, good person? good vibe, truth bringer? truth vibe….get it ?
Do I sound pompous?
Why?
Because I am telling you the truth?
Should I deny all that my wife and I have done as a team to change lives and the world? Fuck that!…we are awesome and you should be learning from us vs being led off a universal cliff. Remember: “You are one with everything, theres no where to run” So study with us and discover secrets NOW….as life is short.

Never again, again ( and again and again)
Never again and again and again is so easy to say…..
“Linda’s performance was unexpectedly sultry and funky, which might have been why the panel hadn’t guessed that t
his was the 63-year-old artist formerly known as Regan MacNeil.”
Now unless you are Dorian Gray,
you are aging at this very moment.
Society allows replays of old energies ( which include accepted judgments) and deems certain topics bad and others usable in conversations. Now we do not watch regularly television and haven't done so for years, but we do know of many shows that the public watches. The Masked Singer is one of them. Re-read the above critic quote from a recent episode with Linda Blair and ask yourself if it doesn’t exude agism and judgments.
Why can't a 63-year-old be sultry and funky? Is Chaka Khan either? How about Gladys Night? They seem to cover both categories quite well...
Is Cher sultry?
Angelica Huston?
Helen Mirren?
Angela Basset?
Society imprints categorical controls on the psyche and places a stamp of relevance on the said topic based on what exactly?
What group of people decides when a person is no longer a valid part of the world based on age or a younger person’s perceived attraction? Racism, sexism, ageism, baldism, heightism, fashionism....the list can go on and on and will until statements like the one above that are accepted are things of the past. You cannot have a balance on earth if the scales are tipped by "accepted" outdated schools of thought. Time ticks daily and we are all getting older despite creams, surgery, drugs ( medical or recreational), and denial.
Do you know what sultry is?
An “old person” who has lived a life of passion and discovery is one that can teach you about the triumphs of ascension and missteps of aging and how to live a long life...hopefully a sultry and funky one.
Do you want to know yourself and help diffuse collective judgments and help to diffuse collective thought stagnations?
Then take action! Study with us ( Hey we are old and getting older by the minute so we must know our stuff!)
and discover some amazing secrets, the more the merrier(world)!
