Happy New Year! Since the beginning of the year, heart-wrenching events have continued, including the earthquake in Noto and the accident at Haneda Airport. We would like to express our deepest sympathies to everyone involved. We can’t afford to attract more negativity. I will support you so that you can shine even more this year by using the Shinkiko that turns negative into positive, so I look forward to your continued support this year.
By the way, Murasaki Shikibu is the main character in this year’s NHK Taiga drama. I often saw the word “shining”. The energy of Shinkiko from the universe is like invisible light that permeates a person’s body and supports them to shine even more. The start of a new year is a great time to set new goals and develop yourself. Here are some points to help you improve yourself efficiently and bring out your best self.
The first step to growth is to deeply understand yourself. Think deeply about your strengths, weaknesses, things you enjoy and don’t like, things you care about, values, passions and pleasures, preferences, personality, etc. When you think about it from the perspective of Ki, there are things that are influenced by positive Ki and negative Ki, so understanding this will deepen your understanding. For example, if you look back on your daily emotions and reactions and feel angry about certain things, could that also be influenced by Ki? By thinking about this while receiving Shinkiko, you can understand the sufferings of related ancestors and deepen your self-awareness.
The best thing to do about yourself is to improve your positive aspects and reduce your negative aspects, but set specific goals for both and make a plan to achieve them. When you use specific, measurable, achievable, relevant, and time-bound criteria, you are less susceptible to negative energy. For example, set goals such as “Start a new 〇〇 within 6 months” or “Focus on 〇〇 emotions, receive daily Shinkiko and sessions, and attend Retreat seminar in 〇 months.” and be as specific as possible. Make a plan.
Furthermore, daily habits are important in order to avoid the influence of negative energy and achieve your plans. For example, acquire positive habits that will help you reach your goals, such as receiving Shinkiko from 7am every morning or setting aside time to read.
Gaining new knowledge or making an effort to remember something in this way makes it easier to receive the support of positive energy and keeps negative energy away. Actively seek out new hobbies and learning opportunities on an ongoing basis. In order to make 2024 a wonderful year in which you all shine, we will be sending energy from Osaka to next Saturday’s Shinkiko lesson. Please join us.
