Simple technique for peaceful, affectionate relationships

Lalaji [1] gave a wonderfully-simple technique [2] for working on relationships with people, especially those you fear or dislike, or vice versa.

• Think of one person.
• Imagine that the person is breathing in.
• With the inhalation, positivity about you goes in.
• Then, the person is breathing out.
• With the exhalation, negativity about you goes out.

Repeat only 2-3 times at a time.

Tips

• it works best if you do it first for that person (you exhale negativity and you inhale positivity about them)
• it must be done in absolute secrecy and anonymity (to prevent any mental reaction or egotism)
• don't modify the steps, keep it simple and general

Notes

[1] Lalaji, Ram Chandra of Fatehgarh, was the first Guru of the Sahaj Marg tradition. He developed and taught simple yet highly effective spiritual and psychological techniques.

[2] A more detailed version, called Seeding Positive Thoughts, is in the Fear Detox chapter of Daaji's Simple Heartfulness Practices.
