These are karmas that can either be in sync with the universal truth or dharma and create balance. Or they can be the same actions we repeat over and over again, creating imbalance. In Ayurveda, the central goal is to create balance in the body, mind and spirit. So practicing Karma Meditation, helps to rid us of imbalancing karmas.
