In this short video, spiritual life coach, Teal Swann shares one key hack for understanding people – the concept of mirroring, This is the idea that whatever you feel in the presence of another is connected to how you are making (or have made) the other feel.
Here are the steps Teal suggests you take when you’re in a conflict with someone:
- Identify how you feel.
- How might you be making them feel that way — or have made them feel that way in the past?
- Once you’re clear on how they feel (which is how you feel), then stop addressing the surface issues and directly address how they feel by thinking about things you can say or do that will make them feel the exact opposite.
- If you want to know how to address someone’s negative emotion, watch Teal’s video “Emotional Wake Up Call” and follow the steps
The key thing is to not slip into thinking you’re right and the other is wrong, but to remembering that the Universe is set up to mirror back to us. Once you realize that people are making you feel how they feel, you have a golden key into how to make them feel better and to make yourself feel better at the same time by “flipping the mirror.”
