Recognize yourself in the mirror

The mirror exercise is a powerful form of inner healing work, mainly on an energetic level. Especially when you are in an unresolved relationship situation with another person and they are (supposedly) hurting you. This applies in particular to our love relationships and our family and professional relationships. This is where there is the greatest chance of our unhealed soul parts being touched, as the triggering situation wants to mirror something from within us. However, you can also use this mirror exercise with all other people who trigger you in some way.

The 4 mirror laws

You are the other ME! I am the other YOU!

Everything that appears in your life is a mirror of your consciousness. It shows you your own inner self, your deepest beliefs and your unconscious thoughts. Life treats us the way we treat ourselves.

1. Mirror Law

Everything that bothers, annoys, upsets or makes you angry about the other person and that you want to be different, you have within yourself.
Everything that you criticize, fight against or want to change in others, you criticize, fight against or suppress in yourself and would like it to be different.

2. Mirror Law

Everything that the other person criticizes, fights or wants to change about you - and this hurts you, then it affects you and is not yet redeemed in you.
Your ego is offended. Your ego is still strong.

3. Mirror Law

Everything that the other person criticizes and reproaches you for or wants to have differently or fights against - and this does not affect you, then it is his own image, his own character.
His own shortcomings, which he projects onto you.

4. Mirror Law

Everything that you like and love about the other person is you yourself, you have it in yourself and you love it in the other person.
You recognize yourself in the other. You are one in these points.

The 7 steps of the mirror exercise

All you need for the mirror exercise is a little of your time and quiet. Make sure that you are not disturbed or distracted while doing the mirror exercise.

1. Identify your valuation

Make it clear to yourself what annoys or hurts you about the other person's behavior. This is usually something that this person seems to be doing to you (example: "This person is cheating on me"). But it can also be judgments (example: "This person is a coward").

2. Identify your connected emotion

Then become aware of the feeling you have when you think "This person is cheating on me" or "This person is a coward". You may be angry or feel contempt in the examples. Now integrate these feelings into your evaluation of "I am angry because this person is cheating on me" or "I despise this person because they are a coward".

3. Turn your entire evaluation around

Now turn the entire evaluation sentences around on yourself. They will then read "I am angry because I cheat" or "I despise myself because I am a coward". And now ask yourself whether there is perhaps even an ounce of truth in them. As a rule, there is.

4. Localize your feeling in the body

The emotion you are feeling now (in our examples, anger or contempt) can now be felt in a specific place in your body: For example, you feel a pain, a tightness, a heaviness, a pulling or a restlessness in the area of the larynx, in the heart area, in the abdomen (solar plexus) or in the pelvis and sexual organs, sometimes in several areas at the same time.

5. Communicate in love with the problem and its energy

Now break your habit of suppressing these dark, heavy and burdensome energies within you. Instead, turn to them consciously and with an open heart and start a dialog with them. Ask them: "What do you need from me to feel loved?" The thought alone in this question usually leads to immediate relief. Be patient and wait until you get an answer. This could be, for example, "I need recognition". Now give this energy what it needs and watch carefully to see what changes.

6. Let the love flow

Embrace your soul part and allow unconditional love to flow to it. As soon as you have the impression that the need of this part of your soul has been satisfied, ask the question again and again. Whatever answers (wishes of this soul part) come, always give it everything it needs in love. The soul part becomes more and more alive and brighter. With each repetition of the question, the lightness increases.

7. Reintegrate the soul part

Finally, you reintegrate the soul part again. The healed energies are always a part of you. In the places where you felt the heavy energies at the beginning of the exercise, you now feel light and warmth. You have now also released the potential of these soul parts that were previously blocked.

Wie es Dir nachher geht
