The other day, my son suddenly got a fever, but our usual pediatrician was closed. My wife quickly searched for a clinic and headed there, but she had to wait for three hours with our son with a fever. When she got home, she complained at length about how “this clinic is ridiculous.”
I thought, “She probably won’t go again,” but she recommended a visit the following week, saying, “I want to see how the medicine works,” and after three visits, my wife was full of praise, saying, “He’s a great doctor, I’ll go see him too.” Watching her change her likes and dislikes completely made me feel a sense of humor that I can’t describe.
I am keenly aware that feelings such as likes and dislikes greatly affect our peace of mind. If you think “I don’t like it, I don’t like it,” you will be affected by negative “Ki,” and your “Ki” will gradually decrease, which can affect your body. We often hear stories of people disliking their siblings, parents, or relationships at work, but the Buddha also taught that there is also “Onzoeku,” or the “suffering of meeting people you dislike.” If we could overcome this suffering, how wonderful it would be.
I say that the influence of negative “Ki” can make unpleasant things and people you dislike close up, and what was initially small can grow stronger and stronger. Conversely, by receiving the energy “Shinkiko” from the universe, raising your “Ki” and keeping negative Ki away, it becomes easier to overcome it.
The first way to overcome this is to physically distance yourself from the object of your dislike. If you can get away from that person or situation, even if only temporarily, your mind will calm down a little with the help of positive energy, and your perspective will change.
Next, it is also effective to make an effort to find the good points and respectable points of the other person. As we often explain in this news, being able to “find the good points” will keep negative energy away and ease your feelings of dislike.
Then, observe your own emotions objectively. Ask yourself, “Why do I feel uncomfortable?” and “What is behind these emotions?” and try to find the root of the emotion. For example, a similar experience from the past may be influencing your current disgust. By being aware of the negative energy that may have been influencing you for a long time and receiving Shinkiko, the light can reach that area more easily, and you may no longer be bothered by it so much.
The feeling of “dislike” can give us awareness and become an opportunity to grow. If you notice this feeling, use the power of Shinkiko to transform it from a negative feeling into a big leap forward.
