What is IKIGAI?

The+Purpose+Diagram+is+by+Anais+Bock.png

Ikigai (ee-key-guy) is a Japanese concept that combines the terms iki, meaning “alive” or “life,” and gai, meaning “benefit” or “worth.”

When combined, these terms mean that which gives your life worth, meaning, or purpose.

Ikigai is similar to the French term “raison d’etre” or “reason for being.”

Okinawa, the southern island off of mainland Japan, is home to one of the highest ratios of centenarians to population. Okinawa is also a hotbed of ikigai ideology.

The concept of ikigai is said to have evolved from the basic health and wellness principles of traditional Japanese medicine. This medical tradition holds that physical wellbeing is affected by one’s mental–emotional health and sense of purpose in life.

Further, it is said that everyone has an ikigai – their particular intersection of passion, talent, and potential to benefit others. It is only a matter of finding it. The journey to ikigai might require time, deep self-reflection, and effort, but it is one we can all make.

The concept of ikigai as a purpose in life with both personal and social dimensions is captured by the well-known ikigai diagram. This diagram includes overlapping spheres covering:

What you love
What you are good at
What the world needs
What you can get paid for

It is further noted that according to this diagram:

At the intersection of what you love and what you are good at is your passion.

At the intersection of what you love and what the world needs is your mission.

At the intersection of what the world needs and what you can get paid for is your vocation.

At the intersection of what you are good at and what you can get paid for is your profession.

A “sweet spot” within this ikigai diagram would therefore involve something you are passionate about, that you are also good at, that the world needs now, and for which someone will pay you.

Ikigai is what gets you up every morning and keeps you going.

This conception of ikigai sounds close to a Zen Buddhist mentality, emphasizing being active, being in the moment, taking joy in the small occurrences in life, and finding a state of flow in one’s life

About Us

Ancient Egyptian Sayings: The body is the temple of the God within you; therefore it is said,

‘Man: know thyself, and thou shalt know the Gods'

'Know Thyself'

A phrase carved into stone at the entrance to Apollo's temple at Delphi in Greece, according to legend. Scholars, philosophers, and civilizations have debated this question for a long time.

'Examine yourself & understand who you are… Whoever does not know self, does not know anything

But, whoever knows self, has acquired the knowledge of the universe'

~ Jesus, Book of Thomas (Gnostic Gospels)

'He who does not know himself is lost'

Mahatma Gandhi

“You are a volume in the divine book
A mirror to the power that created the universe
Whatever you want, ask it of yourself
Whatever you’re looking for can only be found
Inside of you”
― Mawlana Jalal-al-Din Rumi, The Rubais of Rumi: Insane with Love.

What does it mean to know yourself?

Inner knowing goes by many different terms. Higher self, innate wisdom, clairvoyance or intuition. Whatever you want to call it, inner knowing is the ability to tap into the power of the universe to guide you through life; gaining knowledge and information about things without explicitly being told. Inner knowing is so much more powerful than our conscious mind.

He gives wisdom to whom He will, and he who is given wisdom has been given a lot of good. Yet none will remember except the owners of minds. (Quran- Al Baqara - 269)
