Month: April 2024

I think many people have been working in new workplaces since April.

Personally, when I think back to 40 years ago, the first few months I joined a company felt like an extension of school, such as new employee training, and I felt nostalgic, thinking that I wanted to be active in the field as soon as possible.

However, a few years after I actually started working, I started to feel unwell due to stress, so I decided to take a Shinkiko Retreat seminar.

“Doing anything for the first time can be stressful and difficult, but later you realize that if you can overcome that, you will make a lot of progress.”

Speaking of newbies, I’ve only been a father for six months, so I’m still in a state of groping after entering uncharted territory as a new dad.

For example, when I’m taking my son for a walk, people I meet on the street ask me, “How old is he?”  If you think about it, you won’t have a chance to talk to people when you’re walking alone, so if you think about it, you’ll be grateful, but as a newbie, you won’t be able to respond well yet.  What’s especially troublesome is when someone asks, “Is he your grandchild?”

It would be natural for it to look like that since a man in his 60s was holding an infant in his arms.  I’m in a situation where I can’t say, “It’s my son,” without saying something like “Eh, uh,” or denying it, but even though I answered yes, I feel like it’s stuck somewhere in my heart, so this is what I’m saying. That shouldn’t be the case.

It’s a silly story, but for me, I’m thinking about how to deal with this in the future.

At this rate, I’m worried about what will happen as my son gets older, but I’m also looking forward to new experiences and encounters.  It’s like, “The first time I do something…”.

Speaking of my first time, I opened KÌPLACE, a cafe and Ki relaxation space complex in Ikebukuro, Tokyo, which was also a new challenge for me.

When I was a ronin student, I left my parents’ house and lodged on the second floor of a newspaper store.　While working as a newspaper deliveryman, I attended a prep school. It was the coffee shop Brown at the time.

While drinking coffee and talking with a shop owner and master, I forgot all about my stress.

Although my salary was low and I was a ronin student, I was not in a position to go to school many times a week, but I feel that they supported me greatly emotionally. For this reason, I was wondering if it would be possible to do this in a comfortable space where I could drink coffee or tea and have a relaxing conversation.

The Shinkiko Retreat seminar in Hiroshima/Miyajima has started today. I came here yesterday, but I was delayed at various places and it took longer than I expected.

I had a YouTube live scheduled to start at 7:30pm, so I wondered if I would make it in time, but I arrived at the hotel just in the nick of time and everything was fine.

In the end, nothing happened, but if you follow the progress along the way, the plane was delayed and left Haneda, and on the bus from the airport, one of the passengers boarded the bus and the departure time was delayed, saying, “My companion hasn’t arrived yet.” When I arrived at the station, the train left 2 minutes beforehand and I had to wait 20 minutes…this is what happens when you arrive at the station.

At times like this, I always try to open up and realize that there is no point in rushing.In yesterday’s case, I took the 20 minutes I was waiting for the train to have coffee and tried to relax and enjoy the relaxing feeling as much as possible.

Then, I received a call from a helpful staff member who told me that they could arrange a shuttle from the hotel, so after crossing over to Miyajima, I arrived at the hotel in no time.

By being given a ride in the shuttle, I had time to take and edit videos of the scenery along the way, and I’m glad that everyone can watch them on YouTube.

Up until now, I have often found myself saying things worked out somehow in various situations.

You shouldn’t always rely on it, but even when unexpected situations come your way, there are many times when you can only think that you are truly protected by something.

I am saying that every person has a positive energy that is like a guardian spirit. They are trying their best to support us, but on the other hand, there are also negative forces that are holding us back, and the situation in front of us changes depending on which force acts more strongly.

If you think, “I’m unlucky, I’m not lucky,” the souls of those who passed away due to lack of luck will gather around you, making you even more unlucky.

As long as you think of all the ways that something will work out and don’t give up, it will be easier for you to see the gap between negative energy and receive support from positive energy, and you may be able to grab a helping hand. Therefore, it is important to never give up until the end.

By the way, in order to receive the support of positive Ki more easily, you should recharge your Ki by receiving the energy of Shinkiko on a daily basis.

The more positive Ki energy you have, the more you can do, so charging your Ki is essential. Furthermore, it is a strong feeling that pushes away anxiety and worry and resists negative energy. This may take some practice, but with the help of Ki support, you will definitely be able to do it, so don’t give up.

Last week, I started a YouTube live show with journalists Mr. and Mrs. Oharada under the title “The world of Ki that we experienced.” For me, I get to hear interesting stories about experiences with my predecessors, so every time I think of them, I think, “Ah, that’s what I said,” and I learn a lot from them, but I also enjoy doing it.

Yesterday too, Mr. Oharada talked about how he reacted to the energy of his predecessor. My predecessor and I went to treat the radiation victims of the Chernobyl nuclear power plant accident in Russia, and we exchanged energy with about 10 people. Then I started moaning and felt embarrassed but couldn’t stop myself, but in the end I felt refreshed as something seemed to come out of me. I also went to the Shinkiko Retreat seminar, and my body felt completely relaxed. At that time, I felt that a lot of my negative energy went towards the light, and that’s when I finally started to understand more about Ki.   As the saying goes, seeing is believing, and once you experience Ki in some form, it becomes much easier to understand. Behind the scenes, there is probably a negative energy that hates the light of Shinkiko, and a positive energy that is trying to help people understand and use Shinkiko.

In the end, I think I was able to experience many different things and was able to listen honestly to what my predecessors were saying. It seems that not only me but Mr. Oharada received a lot of support, and even though he had doubts about ki at first, he was able to understand it naturally due to just the right experience… Mr. Oharada’s story was very interesting. That’s why.

Negative energy may seem like it has nothing to do with you, but everyone is affected by it in some way. In that sense, the first thing to do is to have many experiences of receiving Ki. I think this will strengthen the support of positive energy and make it easier to understand.

When experiencing Ki, try not to think too much about logic in your head, and if you feel something, simply try to adopt Shinkiko.

Also, the negative energy that exists around us tries to pull us towards the dark side when we see an opening. Therefore, I would like people who have had a good experience with Shinkiko to continue receiving Shinkiko. I, too, would like to receive the Shinkiko firmly so that I can find a place to direct my consciousness and receive the support of positive Ki even more easily.

Next Thursday from 19:30, I would like to broadcast from Miyajima, Hiroshima Prefecture, where the Shinkiko Retreat seminar will be held. If you are interested, please click here

It’s been 5 months since my son was born, and I’m gradually getting used to his free-spirited behavior.

However, there are still many unexpected events, and each time they occur, my mind is greatly disturbed.

The other day, my son had a fever and my wife and I were in a big fuss.

It’s embarrassing because I’m not used to it.

My wife became busy taking care of our son, stress piled up, the house wasn’t cleaned properly, we relied on take-out prepared meals for meals, and our relationship deteriorated.

It really feels like I’ve been hit by a negative energy.

However, there was probably help from Shinkiko.  The damage was kept to a minimum, and as a result, communication between I and my wife has improved, and I feel like I am able to cooperate with my wife more than before (for now).

As the saying goes, when it rains, the ground hardens.

By the way, among the negative energy that comes out when I send energy, there is negative energy that has given up on becoming light.

They say, “I’m fine with things the way they are,” when in reality it’s painful and painful, and they’re forced to endure a lot.

The second sentence he said was, “There’s no way I can change,” “It’s too late,” “It’s impossible,” and “It’s me.”  It gives the impression that he is desperate.

They are so drawn into the darkness that they cannot imagine moving towards the light.

When we are influenced by such negative energy, our own thinking goes into a mode of giving up.

You don’t make an effort to communicate to people, and you think, “They won’t understand anyway,” or is there something you can do? We blame others without thinking about it, or we think, “It’s impossible, it’s a waste,” without making any effort.

In our Retreat seminar, during his lectures on Naikan(Inner observation) Method, Prof. Ishii often talks about how people cannot change, it is like telling a cat to become a dog.

The goal is to change your own thoughts and actions, not those of other people, but if you are strongly influenced by the negative energy mentioned above, you will not be able to do this at all.

We tend to blame others, the people around us, and the events we are facing.

This kind of negative Ki is something that is hidden in a very dark and deep place, so it is not something that has just started, but may have been influenced by various things from a long time ago.

However, if you continue to practice Shinkiko, your Ki will gradually charge up and it will be easier to turn negative into positive.

Therefore, if you find yourself in a mode of giving up, being aware of this and making some effort will make it easier for the energy of Shinkiko to reach you.

Even if you don’t make a big change all of a sudden, by moving forward little by little while looking for the good points, you can eventually make a big leap forward.
