The other day, we were in an elevator together. While the adults were standing there quietly, my son, who will soon be one and a half years old, suddenly started yelling “Ah, ah” loudly. I thought there might be a bit of awkwardness, but everyone around us was smiling and watching over our son. The atmosphere instantly became more relaxed, and I breathed a sigh of relief.
At this time, I once again realized the existence of an invisible energy called “atmosphere.” Atmosphere is a kind of “Ki” that cannot be measured by science. We are always living under the influence of this atmosphere, both in a good and bad way.
For example, in a sad atmosphere such as a funeral, you will feel sad and tearful. In situations where you have to “perform a certain way,” such as a presentation, everyone has probably experienced being overwhelmed by the oppressive atmosphere caused by tension and pressure, and not being able to perform to your full potential. On the other hand, in a bright and lively place, you can naturally feel uplifted and your creativity can be stimulated.
When we are surrounded by bright, positive energy, we naturally smile and feel positive, but when we are influenced by dark, negative energy, our spirits can become depressed and we may not be able to demonstrate our true potential.
The important thing is to always continue to send out positive energy without being swayed by the atmosphere around you. To do this, you need to develop a strong mind that will not be defeated by negative energy, and to raise your own energy so that you are not swallowed up by the atmosphere around you.
It is also important to consciously make efforts to cultivate a joyful mind in your daily life. For example, listening to your favorite music, admiring beautiful scenery, and talking with like-minded friends can all help to increase your mental energy.
Also, remembering to be grateful and always trying to use positive words is also an effective way to radiate good energy. Expressing gratitude for even small things can help improve relationships with the people around you and create a better atmosphere.
Also, if you find that you are easily overwhelmed by the atmosphere and are unable to perform to your full potential, it is possible that your past self or your ancestors were strongly influenced by negative energy, so it would be a good idea to focus your attention on this and receive Shinkiko.
We who have access to Shinkiko at all times can use it effectively in our daily lives, consciously emitting good Ki, and living each day filled with positive energy.
