Use the Naikan meditation to improve your relationships
from Ikigai: The Japanese Secret to a Long and Happy Life by Hector Garcia, Francesc Miralles
How to Apply This
-
Whenever angry or upset with someone, use the Naikan meditation.
Ask yourself the following three questions:
- What have I received from this person?
- What have I given to this person?
- What problems have I caused to this person? -
Take three days before making a decision.
When we are bitter or angry, we get into the “fight mode.” Next time you find yourself in a stressful situation, take three days before responding or making any final decision. This way, your mind will have the time to cool down and guarantee the best outcome.
