Month: January 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.
