Let’s start with one of the most accessible paths in spiritual life: Karma yoga. It translates to “the yoga of action,” but don’t mistake it for mere busyness. Karma yoga is about conscious action without attachment to outcomes. It's not just doing your job; it’s about doing it mindfully, as a form of service and self-purification. Through Planet Dharma’s teachings, Karma yoga becomes a tool to transcend ego, dissolve selfishness, and cultivate a life aligned with spiritual truth. Whether you're washing dishes or running a company, every act can become sacred—if performed with full awareness and compassion.

"No path to awakening is complete without facing the parts of ourselves we’d rather ignore. These are our shadows—unacknowledged fears, judgments, or unresolved wounds. True freedom demands that we shine light into this darkness. Shadow Transformation, as taught by Planet Dharma, is not about fixing or deleting your shadow. It’s about integrating it—inviting it in for tea, listening, and lovingly understanding it. Only then can it be transformed. This inner alchemy is a cornerstone of deep spiritual work. It gives us access to massive reservoirs of energy that were once tied up in fear, anger, or confusion. And the result? Clarity, courage, and more authenticity in every part of life."

A powerful way to grow while serving others is through Karma yoga, a practice that turns everyday action into spiritual development. Instead of meditating on a cushion, Karma Yoga invites you to treat your work as meditation—by being mindful, selfless, and unattached to outcomes. At Planet Dharma, Karma Yoga is more than just a concept; it's a real-world tool to transform daily life into a sacred path. Whether you’re washing dishes, organizing events, or writing emails, every task becomes a step toward awakening when done consciously. This practice is ideal for those who want to grow while still engaging in the world.

Let’s set one thing straight. When we talk about reincarnation in Buddhism, we’re not talking about an eternal soul hopping from one body to another like a spirit tourist. That’s not quite how it works. In Buddhist teachings, rebirth is more like the flicker of a candle lighting the next wick—continuity without sameness. Consciousness continues, conditioned by karma, but there’s no fixed ""self"" that carries over. This matters, because it strips away the ego's desire for permanence while honoring the impact of every choice we make.
