My Aching Back and 2 Spiritual Laws

I’m reminded of two of the Seven Spiritual Laws today with the way I am feeling. The first is the Spiritual Law of Karma. Karma says that for every action there is going to be a reaction, or each cause has an effect. People think because of this that we have no control over the results, but that is not true. The Law of Karma tells us to become conscious and aware of each choice we make. Stopping my destructive habits and changing to better habits changed my outcome in the last few weeks in amazing ways. Conscious choice making says that we should listen to our heart before making a decision and only if our heart tells us that it feels like the best choice for us and those around us should we make that choice. In the last week I started out getting back into doing push ups and bar dips for some strength training. On the first day I got through two sets of 4 push ups, and yesterday somehow decided I was ready to jump those eight push ups to over one hundred. Do you think the Karma of that choice is having its effect on me today? Oh, my aching back, forget the sore chest and arm muscles, I hurt my back somehow. I have to keep reminding myself I was just 97 pounds and very sick just 3 weeks ago. I don’t have to prove anything to anybody right now, especially myself. The second Spiritual Law I think of is the Law of Detachment. That word says it all, I need to practice detachment in my life and start to have a little more trust in the outcome. I need to let myself enjoy that I have my health back. That is the most important thing right now.
