Recently, my wife, who was feeling a little tired from taking care of my son, became very depressed after something someone said to her. Three days later, she was still thinking about it and worrying about it, and it seemed to have been quite a shock to her. I tried to tell her, “That’s just the way that person thinks, so don’t worry about it,” but once it’s pierced her heart, it’s hard to get rid of.
In fact, our brains are designed to make it easier to forget unpleasant memories. This has been scientifically proven by research by Richard Walker of Winston-Salem State University in North Carolina, USA. In other words, the reason we feel like we can’t forget unpleasant things is simply because we keep ruminating on them in our heads. As we repeatedly remember them, our forgetting mechanism, which should work normally, stops working properly.
From the perspective of Ki, this is a state in which the negative Ki emanating from the heart matches its wavelength with the negative Ki around it, attracting it further. If something triggers negative emotions, you will become trapped in a negative loop, and the negative Ki will make it difficult for you to forget.
So, even if something irritates you in your daily life, such as someone yelling at you, scolding you, or ignoring you when you say hello, don’t worry too much about it. If unpleasant memories start to come to mind, tell yourself, “I’m done!” and think about something else, like your weekend plans or what to have for dinner.
That being said, as was the case in my family, there are many different situations, such as differences in positions between people and the level of their relationships, so it’s not always that easy to talk about. If you organize your thoughts and think about it, you can change yourself, but you can’t change the other person. The most important thing is to change yourself for the better, so think about it logically and once you’ve come to a conclusion, there’s no point in thinking about it any further, so don’t worry about it.
However, if you just can’t seem to get rid of your negative emotions, I recommend receiving Shinkiko. Be aware of the negative energy that may be involved and receive Shinkiko to transform it into positive energy. It is more effective if you can receive a slightly stronger amount of energy, so it would be even better to participate in a session or take Shinkiko Retreat seminar.
The support of positive energy will make you feel more at ease and less susceptible to the effects of negative energy. Forgetfulness is a natural blessing, but with Shinkiko you can use this power more effectively and live a richer life.
