What we can learn about mind, spirit, and body from catching a cold

It’s been rainy and chilly in Tokyo. Actually, my son caught a cold last week, and although his fever went down in about two days, he is still suffering from a cough and runny nose. When I told him, “It’s just a runny nose, so let’s wait and see,” my wife said, “It’s not getting better,” and took him to the hospital. My wife and I have different opinions on this (laugh).

By the way, why do we say “catch a cold” when we mean “getting sick”? As our predecessors often said, there is ancient wisdom hidden in this phrase. “Kakaru” in Japanese (get sick) means “something undesirable or misfortune will befall you,” while “hiku” in Japanese (pull) means “to accept into one’s body, to have it affect oneself.” People in the past thought that the cause of “colds” was “evil spirits that affect the body,” and “catching a cold” was understood to mean that one’s health deteriorated as a result of unconsciously taking in something bad into the body.

This phrase truly captures the nature of “Ki.” When we continue to carry daily stress and negative emotions, our hearts and minds become depressed and gloomy. This then attracts negative Ki or “evil spirits,” which resonates with us, and as our Ki falls, physical discomfort appears.

Furthermore, the environment surrounding us today is filled with much more negative energy than in the past. The prevalence of negative information and digital fatigue from games and smartphones are some of the reasons for this. Even if we are unconsciously strongly influenced by this negative energy, it is difficult for us to realize this.

However, we can use Shinkiko to transform this “attractive force” into a positive force. This energy from the universe enhances the Ki within the body and also transforms the negative Ki around us into a positive force. By using the Ki Device “Hi Genki” and various Ki items in your daily life, you can constantly take in positive Ki into your body and keep it from attracting negative Ki. Furthermore, by transforming negative Ki into positive, you become more susceptible to receiving support from positive Ki, and can increase your ability to attract good fortune.

As the phrase “catching a cold” suggests, our minds and consciousness have the power to attract both good and bad things. Use the energy of Shinkiko to your advantage and turn this power of attraction into a positive one. We hope that many people will experience the energy of Shinkiko. Starting in July, we will be holding a one-day seminar at our centers in Japan, condensing the Shinkiko Retreat seminar into one day. By raising your Ki, you will be able to attract the “coincidences” you desire.

True Spirit and the Power to survive in the “World of Chance”

Last night, we invited full-time instructor Osamu Tatsumura to join us on YouTube Live to celebrate the 400th Shinkiko Retreat seminar. In the 35 years since this seminar began in 1990, we have seen many events, such as the Great Hanshin-Awaji Earthquake, the Great East Japan Earthquake, and the eruption of Mount Aso, but we have been able to continue the course every month without incident, and I cannot help but feel that we have been strongly supported by positive “Ki.”

Incidentally, human abilities can be categorized into “cognitive abilities” and “non-cognitive abilities.” While cognitive abilities are intellectual abilities that can be measured through tests, such as knowledge and logical thinking, non-cognitive abilities refer to “mental strength” and “social strength” that cannot be measured numerically, such as “perseverance,” “self-esteem,” “cooperation,” “self-control,” and “creativity.” These can be said to be the “power to live” and “humanity” that are essential for enriching one’s life.

Our lives do not always go according to plan. There is a “world of coincidences” that includes unexpected encounters, sudden troubles, unexpected good fortune and bad luck. In order to thrive in this world of coincidences, not only cognitive abilities but also non-cognitive abilities are extremely important.

I believe that this world of coincidences is deeply connected to the world of “Ki,” which science has yet to fully grasp. We all live within the invisible energy of Ki, and the quality of the “coincidences” that occur around us changes greatly depending on whether the Ki we are strongly influenced by is “positive” or “negative.” If you are easily supported by positive Ki, you will be blessed with good connections and opportunities, but if you are strongly influenced by negative Ki, trouble and misfortune will pile up.

So, while improving your non-cognitive abilities is certainly very important in enriching your life, it is also important to improve your “Ki” and always be in a state where you are supported by positive Ki. This is because no matter how high your non-cognitive abilities are, if you are constantly influenced by negative Ki, it will be difficult for you to demonstrate your true potential.

So what should we do? Positive and negative Ki that match the wavelength of the Ki emanating from our hearts gather around us, so the first thing we need to do is to make our own state of mind as positive as possible. Furthermore, the energy of Shinkiko from the universe penetrates our souls and increases the energy of our Ki. This makes it easier to match our wavelength with positive Ki.

Combining the efforts to improve non-cognitive abilities and the practice of enhancing your Ki with Shinkiko will enable you to lead the “world of chance” that is life in a more advantageous and happy direction.

Removing the rust from your mind

Recently, when we go out for a walk, my 18-month-old son happily waves to anyone he passes. What’s surprising is that he doesn’t hesitate to wave to even people who look a little “tough,” and most people smile and wave back. Thanks to this, I’ve had more opportunities to exchange words with people I’d never even said hello to before. Men in particular tend to be difficult to talk to, but my son’s innocence seems to open the door to my heart, and it makes me keenly aware of how many walls we adults build in our mind.

It is said that “old age creeps up on you,” but what if, not only does your body weaken, but your past experiences cause you to lose your mental flexibility and openness to accept new things… that is something you want to avoid. To use an analogy, just as rust accumulates in a worn-out water pipe and the flow of water becomes slower, “rust” accumulates on the surface of your heart, preventing your natural radiance and smooth connections with others.

What are some signs of “aging of the heart”? Resistance to new things, stubbornness in not listening to other people’s opinions, difficulty expressing gratitude or affection, increased critical behavior, and fewer smiles…? These are thought to be influenced by fear and pride from past experiences, as well as the “negative energy” that has accumulated in the heart. Since similar energy attracts similar things, negative energy that remains unpurified can cause similar events to repeat, weaken relationships, and lead to isolation.

Therefore, it is necessary to be aware of small signs of “mental aging” and take conscious measures to deal with them. For example, try to use words of gratitude, such as saying “thank you” out loud to family and those around you. When washing your face, try practicing smiling by looking at yourself in the mirror. Think of it as “stretching your mind,” listen to the people around you, and try new things, even if they are small…etc.

In addition, the energy of Shinkiko deeply relaxes the mind and body, and purifies the negative energy that is the root of negative emotions that have built up deep within the heart. Therefore, while using Shinkiko, take the first step, even if it is something small. This will brighten your heart and give you the power to spread warm light to those around you.

Shinkiko Retreat seminar held every month is a place to efficiently improve the three aspects of Ki, body, and mind.  Shinkiko Retreat seminar will be suspended for July and August, and a one-day seminar will be held at centers around the country and online, where you can experience the essence of Shinkiko Retreat seminar. Why not transform the negative Ki that is affecting you unknowingly into light and remove the rust from your mind?

Everything is a series of meaningful events

There are good things in our daily lives, but sometimes there are events that make us want to sigh.  Some of these are things that we do repeatedly.  Making the same mistakes at work, getting caught up in similar interpersonal troubles, or for some reason always injuring or hurting the same parts of our body.

In fact, these things can be deeply connected to invisible “negative energy.”

The “negative energy” that exists within and around us attracts negative events of a similar nature.

The important thing is to see these things as “meaningful” and become aware of the pattern.

In this article, we will introduce a work that uses the energy of Shinkiko to look back on the past, become aware of the presence of “negative energy” that may be the cause, and prevent the same things from happening again.

(1) Wear or keep nearby Shinkiko products or Ki applicators to help you relax.

(2) Try writing down specific, seemingly negative things that make you feel like you’re always worrying about the same things, or that you’re following the same pattern again and again.

For example: human relationships (e.g. clashing opinions, feeling bad about something that’s been said to you); work (making mistakes at important times, not being able to achieve your goals); health (frequently injuring or hurting the same place, feeling unwell at certain times of the year); emotions (getting irritated over small things, feeling aversion to certain people or words)

(3) Think back as far as you can to when this pattern first occurred. (Was it recently? Maybe it happened when you were a child?)

(4) How did you feel the first time you experienced this pattern? What was the situation? Who was involved? Try to remember as clearly as possible the scene, emotions, and physical sensations at the time.

(5) Have you developed any preconceptions about yourself or those around you because of your past experiences? For example, “No one understands me,” “It’s useless to try,” etc. Then, try to recognize the feelings of sadness, anger, fear, helplessness, etc. that you felt at that time. This may be the influence of “negative energy” that is working against you.

When you become aware of negative energy, it becomes easier for the energy of Shinkiko to reach it, and it will gradually disappear.

It may also be a good idea to try placing Shinkiko products or applicators on the part of your body where you feel negative energy.  Also, one of your ancestors may have been affected by similar negative energy.  If you can make an effort not to be defeated by negative energy, the light will reach not only you, but also those around you.

The 400th Shinkiko Retreat seminar was a strong bright light

Recently, we held the 400th Shinkiko Retreat seminar in Inawashiro, Fukushima Prefecture. We would like to express our sincere gratitude to the 30 people who participated. Some people participated in retreat seminar for the first time, some participated for the first time in 30 years, and some people who were reunited after several years. Your enthusiasm seemed to spread a warm circle of light in the land of Inawashiro. We would like to express our sincere gratitude.

What I felt most deeply during this seminar was the deepening of awareness among those who have been practicing Shinkiko for a long time. What initially started as a personal concern spread to include family and ancestors, and people are connected by the invisible connection of Shinkiko light. Shinkiko from the universe illuminates the soul of the person who accepts it, and that light reaches those around them. When you shine, those around you also shine, and this resonance spreads the circle of happiness. The strong desire of everyone who seeks Ki will have the power to change the energy environment of the place for the better.

The Qigong training course, which my predecessor started in 1990, has reached a milestone of 400 times, and it seemed that people who shared a mission to spread light had gathered together.

To commemorate this memorable 400th seminar, I have decided to release the HG type Ki Plate Card, which I introduced last week, for a limited time until the end of May.

Additionally, all participants in this seminar were given a transparent B5 hard card case (not for sale) as a gift. The SAS triple mark was laser engraved on this card case, and a 40-micron etching sheet with a single HG-type pyramid mark laser engraved on it was enclosed inside the case.

By putting photos and other items in this card case, you can use it as a remote Shinkiko device in the same way as an HG card. Also, by removing the etching sheet and inserting it into the Hi Genki 3 or 6, you can use it as one set of upgrade service (normal price 45,500 yen, special price 22,000 yen).

Many people are already using our Shinkiko item, the Shinkiko Frame, to remotely send Ki to their loved ones, and we hope that by inscribing the name and photo of a loved one in this commemorative clear case, people will be able to continue sending “Shinkiko” to many people in the future.

Due to popular demand, we plan to share these commemorative gifts with participants of Shinkiko Retreat seminar in Azumino, which begins on the 3rd of next month. The 400th Shinkiko Retreat seminar is just a milestone. This summer, we will be holding a one-day seminar at each center. We will continue to work together with you to spread the circle of light, so we appreciate your continued support.

400th Shinkiko Retreat Seminar commemoration “Ki Plate Card HG Type” on sale for a limited time

Thanks to everyone’s support, our Shinkiko retreat seminar in Fukushima, which begins today, will be held for the 400th time. We would like to express our sincere gratitude to everyone who is helping to spread the circle of light together.

Shinkiko retreat seminar is not just a place to learn knowledge and techniques of Ki, but a special place to hone your inner light and develop “good Ki senders” who can share that warm energy with those around you.  Just like lighting a light in the darkness and illuminating those around you, past participants are spreading the light of hope in their own places.

To commemorate this memorable 400th event, and to show our gratitude to everyone, we will be selling a new business card-sized Ki item, the “Ki Plate Card HG Type,” for a limited time until the end of May.

This card is the same size as the conventional Ki Plate Card, but is stronger, thinner, lighter, and easier to carry. It uses a thin aluminum plate and is not laminated, so it looks smart.

The front side has a reduced version of the pyramid mark, the same as the HG card, and the back side has the SAS triple mark, which is an antenna that collects Ki, laser engraved on it.

Since last year, it has become clear that the laser-engraved pyramid mark and triple SAS mark have the ability to relay even greater amounts of Ki, and this new card can be described as an “evolved version” that makes use of this.

The most recommended way to use it is to put it in your wallet together with your money and credit cards.  You can also put it in your smartphone case.

For us, a wallet is not just a tool for putting money in and taking it out; it is one of the most familiar items that supports our daily lives and is always carried when we go out.

By inserting the “Ki Plate Card HG Type” into your wallet, the entire wallet will be filled with Ki, transforming it into something like a “light charger.”

Money passes through many hands and travels to many different places before it comes into our hands. We believe that keeping that money surrounded by good “Ki” and allowing it to circulate comfortably again to those around us is essential to building a society filled with light.

For that reason, we thought it would be good to have people use chi products with a higher chi relay capacity in their wallets.

We want as many people as possible to experience its effects, and as a token of our appreciation, we have set the price at 9,680 yen, the same as the Ki Plate Card, for a limited time only.  We hope you will use it and send us your experience stories.

The power of taiyaki* to release a heavy mind

*Taiyaki is a fish shaped cake(waffle) with sweet red bean inside.

Last week, I felt so heavy that I couldn’t do anything about it. My mood was gloomy, and I was hit by a deep fatigue that was similar to depression. The work I had to do was piling up, various thoughts were swirling in my head, and I was getting more and more impatient, so I ended up not starting anything, and time just passed by mercilessly… That was the situation I was in. Negative energy that hates light can act as a hindrance, and it seems that I was affected by a fairly strong negative energy.

At that time, my wife bought some delicious taiyaki from a famous, long-established store. The warm, fragrant smell, gentle sweetness, and chewy texture seemed to seep into my body. To my surprise, while eating the taiyaki, something like “motivation” welled up inside me. I thought, “Let’s try the easiest thing first.” In the end, that was the trigger, and as I worked on it one by one, “I’ve done this,” “Next,” I finished as planned.

This is a phenomenon that occurs when the energy of Shinkiko reaches negative energy, turns into light, and tries to escape. The heavier the negative energy, the more difficult it becomes. If I had just a little more energy, it would have been better, but I was just one step away from it, and my positive thought of “it’s delicious” became a light-like lure that transformed the negative energy into light.

No matter what the situation, we who have bodies will not be defeated by negative energy.  Shinkiko emitted by positive thoughts, and the way to experience things that are pleasant with the five senses will always guide negative energy into light.

When you’re one step away, I recommend trying things that make you feel “comfortable” through your five senses, like taiyaki for me, hot drinks, beautiful music, pleasant scents, and pleasant baths. Even simple stretching and deep breathing can not only make you feel good, but also balance the energy of your body’s Ki, and it’s also good to slightly tidy up your surroundings and clothing to feel “refreshed.”

Even a little bit of tidying up, such as tidying up your desk, can bring in positive energy. Furthermore, small steps can be a springboard, so it’s a good idea to try doing something for just five minutes. You’ll be surprised at how much time you set aside to work on it can lead to the next five minutes and even beyond that. Finally, try to consciously feel the light of Shinkiko through the main body and applicator of the Hi Genki device. Try combining various things to increase the light even if just a little. Small steps can turn heavy negative energy into light, and eventually bring about big changes.

Look into your mind and use it to grow

Spring is a season of big changes in life, such as entering school, continuing to higher education, and getting a job. Many people are probably noticing various changes in themselves and their families.

Along with the excitement of a new environment, you may also feel anxious and worried. For example, if your child or grandchild is entering school, you may worry about whether they will be able to adapt to the new school or keep up with their studies. Also, if you are a new member of society, you may feel anxious about whether you will be able to keep up with work and whether your relationships at work will go well.

In this way, spring, a time of many changes, evokes a wide range of emotions in our mind. This is why this season can be said to be a great opportunity to take a good look at your own mind.

First, look back at the events you experienced during this “spring season” and recall the emotions you felt at the time. For example, even something small is fine, such as “I was happy to make new friends at the school entrance ceremony” or “I felt lonely after moving.” Then, look at the background that gave rise to those emotions. Ask yourself, “Why was I happy?” or “Why did I feel lonely?”

This is also the season when the people around you do a lot for you, so it’s a good idea to pay attention to that as well. You will realize that you are who you are today thanks to the support of the people around you, such as your family, friends, and colleagues. If you can express your gratitude, such as “I’m grateful to my family for always watching over me warmly,” or “I’m grateful to my friends for helping me when I’m in trouble,” the positive energy will be more strongly supported.

If you are feeling the strong influence of negative energy, such as anxiety or worry, there may be past experiences that are connected to your current emotions, so try to recall the specific situations in which you felt those emotions.

By introspecting while receiving Shinkiko, you may be able to see the connection between your past experiences and your current emotions. Then, when the light reaches the negative energy that was related to those experiences, you will feel your heart become lighter.

We also recommend using a diary to write down your feelings and thoughts, and sharing your reflections with trusted people or staff. Furthermore, participating in Shinkiko retreat seminar or Shinkiko lessons and deepening your learning with other members will lead to great growth.

Spring is a season of change, but it is also a chance for growth. With the help of Shinkiko, face your own heart and discover a new you.

Bringing good energy in the cherry blossom season

Spring is in full bloom again, and the cherry blossom season has come. There is a famous cherry blossom viewing spot nearby, so the population density around the station increases dramatically during this season. This year, there seem to be many people visiting from abroad, and I am surprised at how popular the cherry blossoms are. Everyone will be soothed by the positive energy of the cherry blossoms.

Master Tatsumura, who teaches yoga in our retreat seminar, teaches us about the interaction of “Ki” with trees. Trees, plants, and all living things, including us humans, have “Ki”, a life energy.

In the case of cherry blossoms, perhaps they are deeply influenced by the emotions that Japanese people have had since ancient times. The joy of spring, the melancholy of the fleeting petals, the hope for new beginnings… these may resonate with the “Ki” of cherry blossoms and give us a special healing power.

“By directing your feelings, you become more likely to receive Ki” – this is a very important point when it comes to taking in good “Ki”. By being captivated by the beauty of the cherry blossoms and having a heart that is genuinely moved by them, you will be able to feel the positive energy of the cherry blossoms more strongly.

Conversely, if you are caught up in negative emotions such as dissatisfaction or anger, you will be more likely to attract negative “Ki,” and if you are already strongly influenced by negative “Ki,” you will be more likely to resonate with similar bad “Ki.”

Therefore, it is important to always be in a state of mind where you are in tune with positive Ki, and to receive Shinkiko to raise your own “Ki.”  In particular, during this time of year when you will have many new encounters and learning opportunities, it is recommended that you have warm feelings towards others. The pure desire to do something for someone, to help someone in need, will in itself generate strong positive Ki. This will first raise your own “Ki,” which will gradually spread to those around you. Being conscious of “sending good Ki” will in the end attract good things to yourself.

Just as we are captivated by the beauty of cherry blossoms, it would be good if we could be conscious of treating those around us with kindness and generosity in our daily lives. These small actions will first warm our own hearts and fill them with comfortable “Ki.” Then, that “Ki” will surely spread to the hearts of those around us, creating peaceful connections.

Open your hearts to the beautiful cherry blossoms and extend warm feelings to the people around you. By doing so, our own “Ki” will increase, and we will be able to welcome a more fulfilling spring.
