How Does Karma Work?

If karma is action, and the yogic path relies on karma, then our yoga is an active work in progress; a co-creator with the universe. It is so easy to confuse karma as “I cut someone off in traffic two years ago, so that’s why this bad thing is now occurring,” when it’s really “my thoughts, feelings, and words fuel my actions, thus feeding the karmic cycle of life.” Karma is action channeled by thought.
