The Mind Manual
These sessions are an attempt to bring you some insights and perspectives in how we can use the mind and put it to work in a way that will serve you and create the results you want in your life. It will be an unfolding learning journey as we explore this amazing central processing unit to collate and compile a series of systems and perceptions we can use and organize into a mind manual for the benefit of everyone.

Episode 40 - Gratitude
In this episode, we look into the therapeutic method known as Naikan, developed by Ishin Yoshimoto in Japan. Naikan emphasizes introspection and reflection on our lives and relationships. Unlike Western psychotherapy, Naikan focuses on three fundamental questions regarding our relationships with others: what we have received, given, and caused in terms of blessings and troubles. This approach encourages gratitude, self-reflection, and a shift away from blaming others.
By redirecting energy inward and fostering appreciation for the positives in life, gratitude promotes personal growth and healing. Integrating gratitude and acceptance into our lives leads to greater resilience, deeper connections, and a more fulfilling existence, reminding us to find beauty in the ordinary and joy in everyday experiences.
