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.
