The other day at the supermarket, I was wondering “There are so many Ohagi (rice dumplings) lined up, shall I buy one? ” when I remembered that it is the equinoctial week of the year.
There is a saying, “When the equinox comes, think of dumplings,” but I had completely forgotten about the autumnal equinox and had been focusing only on sweet things.
The equinox is an event that is held because it is believed that the world in which our ancestors live and the world in which we live come closer together.
Since we are aware of our ancestors and they are aware of us, from the Ki perspective, I explain it as a “shortening of the distance between here and there,” or in other words, “Ki becomes easier to reach.”
This means that (1) Ki from here will be easier to reach there and (2) Ki from there will be easier to reach here.
Let me explain the key points of these two.
The point of (1) is that we can send positive Ki from our hearts by being grateful to our ancestors who built the foundation of our lives.
At this time, when we remember our ancestors with our family, it strengthens our family connection and sense of unity. At the same time, by sending Ki to our ancestors, we can develop a spirit of caring and supporting as a family that shares common roots.
Of course, it is good to clean and take care of the family graves with family members, and make offerings of favorite foods to the ancestors, but even if you cannot do so, you can still send Ki energy by being aware of your ancestors while receiving Shinkiko.
Furthermore, if you can send remote Shinkiko using Hi-genki or Shinkiko Frames while looking at your own family registration, you will be more grateful for your ancestors and it will be easier for Ki energy to reach.
Regarding (2), what does it mean by receiving Ki from the other side as well? First, if one of our ancestors has low Ki energy and has negative feelings, such as pain and suffering, it will reach us, and we may feel the same way, or our physical condition may become poor.
Secondly, ancestors who already have a lot of Ki energy and have become positive Ki may try to help their family members and descendants in any way they can so that they can shine brighter.
Those of you who have been practicing Shinkiko on a regular basis may be able to catch Ki from the other side more easily.
During this time of the year, the more we shine, the more light will be sent to our ancestors, so if you have something in mind, I hope you will receive Shinkiko more thoroughly, and if you come up with an idea, I hope you will put it into action.
