It snowed in Tokyo, and when we went for a walk, there were puddles on the road. They were dirty puddles, but my son wanted to get in because the moving water looked beautiful. I was worried about his shoes getting wet, but I let him splash around for a while until he was satisfied. In the end, we ended up washing his shoes when we got home. Adults and toddlers have different perspectives.
We see many things every day. Of the five senses, humans receive the overwhelming majority of information through their eyes, with over 80% of the brain being used to process visual information. Even when looking at the same puddle, I tend to feel negative emotions first, thinking “dirty” and “my shoes will get wet,” whereas my son seems to perceive it more positively, thinking “beautiful” and “interesting.” The key point is what emotions are connected to the information we receive through our vision.
From the perspective of Ki, even if you are looking at the same thing, if you are expressing negative emotions, you will attract negative Ki, so you need to be careful.
For example, if you think “It’s all about nasty incidents” every time you check the news on your smartphone, you’ll see the same articles over and over again, and the world will look bleak and you’ll feel anxious. Or if you think “My hair is thinning” or “I look pale” every time you look at yourself in the mirror, you’ll start noticing more and more of the things that bother you, and you’ll feel depressed. Has this ever happened to you?
It is necessary to change your perception as much as possible to a more positive one, so as not to let your emotions become negative. Furthermore, it is important to look at things that make you feel good. Also, if you are strongly influenced by negative energy, you will not be able to see good things, and in fact, you will strangely be drawn to only negative things.
When you receive the energy of Shinkiko and your Ki rises, even if you look at the same scenery, your mind will become more balanced and you will see a brighter world. You will be more likely to receive the support of positive Ki, and you will naturally be able to see things with a calmer mind. Nature is full of beautiful things, so if you put yourself in such a place, or even in the city, you will find that it is full of beautiful things if you look closely.
I too will try to recharge my energy with Shinkiko on a regular basis, keep negative energy away, and have a more positive perspective. I hope that you will also use Shinkiko effectively and take in good energy so that you can transform the world you see into a brighter, more prosperous one.
