karma is usually thought of as something that has effects over many lifetimes. it's not an instant earn and redeem program. it basically means that what you put out will come back to you. it's a consequence of the alchecmical principle of equilibrium, wherein the universe will seek balance in all things. but if you don't accept the universe as a mental entity, you'll never understand how karma works.
and pay no attention to that atheist behind the avatar, as the great and powerful oz would say.

This is how I practice it. I do the right thing as often as possible. I do not steal. I do not lie (unless the truth will do more harm). I treat people with kindness and respect. It really is very easy to do. This is not how I have always been. It takes some time but then it becomes a habit. Then after a while it becomes who you are. You become a good person. Not a perfect person but a good one.

I think it's just the idea that what you put into life is what you get back out.
If you treat people well, they will, in return, treat you well (most of the time).
The Christians have something similar, they call it the 'Golden Rule'.
In fact, many religions have a philosophy that is similar.
It's one of the few things I like about organized religions - but it is paid a lot of lip service, and isn't practiced as often as many of those religions would have you believe.

From what i've gathered most eastern religions see karma as the sum total of your actions in this life and they directly affect your next life.
It isn't how most americans have used it in a sense of if i do something bad today something bad will happen to me tomorrow.

basically, if you do good things and make right decisions then you will have a happier than average life. if you do bad things and make wrong decisions then you will have a sadder than average life. you don't get to choose how your karma is distributed...

First you would have to become a woman then change your name to Karma. That is the only Karma I believe in.

Karma is BS.
Generally, if you do good things for others, they will tend to treat you well. If you work hard, you'll tend to accomplish things better. If you are careful, you'll fall into fewer pitfalls.
However, there is no invisible force making sure that everything balances. Sometimes crap happens and nothing you do will prevent it. Sometimes great things will happen that also have nothing to do with anything you did.
The idea of "karma" is just for people who can't handle the fact that they really are insignificant in this world and they don't really have much control over it.

It's pretty simple. Just think of "treat others as how you want to be treated" and "what goes around comes around"
