Month: January 2025

In our homes these days, we can’t easily put things anywhere. Now that my son can reach the top of the table, he picks it up and uses it as a plaything. He is particularly interested in smartphones because he knows that we use them on a daily basis. So if he wants to get his hands on one, he’ll have to keep messing around with it and end up in trouble. The other day, my smartphones got locked, and before I knew it, it stopped working.

It’s hard because he seems to have a never-ending interest in smartphones, and even when he receives a call during the day, he’s always yelling at me to let him touch it.

By the way, there seems to be a term in the world called smartphone addiction, and the number of people who can’t let go of their smartphones and keep staring at them seems to be increasing. According to one survey, 21.8% of people use it for an average of 4 hours or more a day, and almost half of them use it at night. It seems like it’s because it’s time to relax, but you need to be careful as people who are feeling stressed tend to binge on it.

The autonomic nervous system has two parts: the sympathetic nervous system and the parasympathetic nervous system, which can be compared to the accelerator and brake of a car. When you exercise or get excited, the sympathetic nervous system increases, while when you are relaxed, the parasympathetic nervous system increases. My nerves are starting to get high. It is said that when this cycle is disrupted, it can lead to a number of problems, such as not being able to sleep at night, feeling groggy during the day, and feeling that your mind and body are not feeling well.

When a person is stressed, first the sympathetic nervous system increases, the parasympathetic nervous system decreases, and then both the sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous systems decrease. To put it simply, this means that you are lethargic and unresponsive, your body doesn’t switch on, and you just spend your time in a daze. In other words, this behavior is similar to simply continuing to take in the information that is given to us, just as we continue to browse the Internet.

I believe that this state of lethargy and unresponsiveness is a state in which one’s own will is weakened and one is strongly influenced by negative energy. Especially if what you are looking at on the internet is dark news, articles, or information that is full of negative energy, your energy will move from high to low, which means that your energy will drop more and more. It will be.

Therefore, if you notice that you are spending your time not only on your smartphone but also in your daily life, take it as a sign of stress, change your mind as soon as possible, and take in Shinkiko with the intention of taking a proper rest. I think so.

Until yesterday, I was holding a Shinkiko retreat seminar in a wonderful environment adjacent to the Ise Jingu(shurine) forest. Thank you very much for your participation. There were many people who had been practicing Shinkiko for a long time, so I received a lot of “Ki” and it was a very good experience for me.

I always say that “Ki is an energy that cannot be captured by science.” Our mind and body are closely related to this “Ki”, and it has a great influence on our thoughts, emotions, and actions. For example, when you are happy, your mind and body feel lighter, and when you are sad, you feel heavier. This is because your state of mind changes the state of your “Ki,” which in turn affects your body.

Our will, thoughts, and heart also emit Ki, and when we are able to act according to our own will, the “Ki” in our bodies, which can also be called our souls, increases, but when we are forced to do so involuntarily, “Ki” increases. The spirit will drop.

Therefore, an individual’s free will is very important, and if that person’s will is not respected due to some kind of external pressure such as authority, the light of the soul will become small, and if the body is lost, it will be in a dark state, that is, a negative state. It makes me angry.

If we look back at history, people have long struggled for freedom. People’s freedoms have been taken away through war, political oppression, religious coercion, and even in their immediate relationships. As a result, there are many souls that have become negative energy.

However, people never gave up and little by little, they gained their freedom. Through this, painful and sad souls receive light and work to support us.

Shinkiko light is an energy that brightens the souls of such people and supports them to live a free life. There are no special teachings or rituals in Shinkiko. The important thing is to connect with the energy of the universe and let your own inner light shine.

There was a time when our predecessor(my father) considered turning Shinkiko into a religion, but in the end, we decided to make it a corporation based on the idea of ​​valuing freedom. This is based on the philosophy that Shinkiko is not something that can be forced on anyone, but rather is something that each individual can freely accept.

All life on Earth is directed by someone who can be called the God of the creation of the universe, based on free will, in a direction that will lead to harmony with the universe. Shinkiko light is the energy that supports this.

Japan needs to change even more, and when I look at the world, I feel like we have entered a very important era. I think it was very meaningful that we were able to hold Shinkiko retreat seminar in Ise at the beginning of 2025.

The news reports that it has been 30 years since the Great Hanshin-Awaji Earthquake. That unprecedented disaster presented us with the threat of nature and the uncertainty of not knowing what will happen at any time. The same goes for the Great East Japan Earthquake and the recent Noto Peninsula earthquake.

No one can predict the future, as the saying goes, “The road ahead is uncertain (The future is a mystery).” That is why it is important to prepare for disasters on a daily basis. In addition to preparing emergency food, water, flashlights, and other items that will be useful in an emergency, it is important to check evacuation routes and discuss how to contact your family.

And in addition to such preparation, we must also remember something even more important: mental preparation. No matter how high the probability of encountering a disaster such as an earthquake is, it will never be higher than the probability that “people will die someday.” This is because once a person is born, there is a 100% probability that death will occur. Your own death or the death of those around you. No one knows when or in what form it will arrive. That’s why it’s important to cherish the moment and avoid any regrets.

However, thinking too far ahead can lead to anxiety and negative feelings. If you prepare too much, you may actually attract negative energy and make the situation worse.

The important thing is a sense of balance. It is important to prepare well and spend each day with a bright and positive mindset.

So, what exactly should you pay attention to? Let’s summarize what we teach in our retreat seminar and this newsletter based on the perspective of Ki.

First, live your life with gratitude for the things you take for granted, such as being healthy and connecting with family and friends. Also, having goals for the future gives you a will to live and allows you to face difficult situations.

Furthermore, if you actively communicate with the people around you on a daily basis, share your worries, and receive advice, you will deepen your awareness, and by doing things you like, such as hobbies, you will relieve stress and feel better and will be balanced.

These things will keep negative energy away and make it easier to receive support from positive energy, creating peace of mind.

Because we don’t know when something will happen, it is important for us to live in the moment and be mentally prepared. The light (energy) of Shinkiko will also support you. Let’s cultivate the strength of our hearts so that we can face any difficult situation.

Happy New Year! I look forward to having a good relationship with you this year too. How did you all spend your New Year holidays?

I had a well-rested day off while feeling the support of positive Ki, including the energy of Shinkiko.

However, my son broke into my room early in the new year and damaged my hot air heater and computer parts, resulting in an unexpected expense. There’s no point in getting angry about this, so I just tell myself, “I’ve been using it for over ten years, so it was time to get a new one, and I’m glad it wasn’t an expensive computer that broke.”

By the way, I started work on January 4, at KÌPLACE, Ikebukuro,Tokyo and I suddenly had a private session there. On this day, a person who happened to be here also ordered some kaiun （Good luck）coffee (coffee that I brewed with pure gold powder floating on it to add energy to it), so I felt like I had worked a lot in a short amount of time.  When I asked about it later, I heard that I had served 8 cups, which seemed to bring better luck, so I felt very grateful.

The next day, January 5, was a group meeting with the members of Shinkiko Master Training, which is held at the beginning of every month. This is a time where I will hear from all the participants about what they found good about the past month or last year, what they have been concerned about lately, including the year-end and New Year holidays, and if I have any advice I can give them, I will tell them. Even bad things often don’t turn out to be so bad if you dig a little deeper and think about them. What’s more, even if things aren’t going the way you want them to, there are times when you can be guided in the right direction by the support of positive energy or some great power.

Therefore, it is important not to focus on the negative side, depending on the immediate good or bad. I believe that if you do your best to do what you can now, you will find a way out in a positive direction. I feel like I have been forced to study this in various situations ever since I attended in Shinkiko Retreat seminar for the first time.

The energy of Shinkiko light from the universe permeates the body of the person who receives it and supports that person to shine even more.

Furthermore, the light naturally reaches the people around you, your loved ones, and your souls, making them happy. There are still many souls in the darkness waiting for light. This year, I’m planning to have more days to meet everyone in various places.

In order to make 2025 a wonderful year for everyone, we will be broadcasting a video from Okayama for tomorrow’s Shinkiko lesson on Saturday to send you energy. Please join us.
