IMO what you are looking for is how to master sung/song. Karma is a aggregation of things/energies that get in a way of getting sung/song. One can go deeper in the spirituality only with deep and specific release which is song/sung in daoist tradition. You don't remove karma, you shed it like small pieces of skin or hair while doing release/sung/song. Although in the beginning of the process, some people will need a set of precepts which basically means having an ethical approach to life (yama/niyama, commandments, and all that). Regarding maya - this is likely to be only a mental concept. Because I can't see how maya can get in the way of releasing other bodies than conceptual/mental. If/when one stops conceptualising, there will not be maya.

You can try this one: This is a well known qigong exercise that trains qi emitting and absorbing. It is also described in 'Qigong Empowerment' book by Shou You Liang. DOn't expect immediate results, but you should feel good qi after 2-3 weeks.

What you describe as your personal experience is a well know phenomenon in the western occult practices - a phenomenon caused by 'akasha' (if one were to use terminology of Franz Bardon's Kabala). There is also a tool/technology to counteract this undesirable effect, namely using 'non-dual light' meditation. Mark Rasmus talks A LOT about this and how one should take precautionary measures so that one's life is not disrupted.
