Month: December 2025

The end of the year is approaching. Last Sunday, we held the first day of Shinkiko members’ gathering at the Kumamoto Center. Thank you to everyone who participated. By the way, December 22nd is the winter solstice.

The winter solstice is the day when the days are at their shortest, but it is believed that the sun becomes more active from this point on, and it has long been considered a day when fortunes begin to improve, known as “Ichiyo Raifuku.” To attract this good fortune, people in the past would purify their bodies with Yuzu baths and eat foods that start with the letter “n,” such as pumpkin (nankin), as auspicious talismans to bring in good luck.

How are you all doing? Some of you may be feeling great thanks to the increased support of positive energy, while others may be feeling temporarily down because the influence of positive energy has caused negative energy to rise. This is often called a healing reaction, but it is a seemingly negative phenomenon that occurs before you get better. However, by continuing to receive the energy of Shinkiko, negative energy will definitely turn into positive energy, so I hope you will make sure to recharge your energy.

Negative energy finds an opening to exploit and then has a major impact. Conversely, if you can become aware of these openings, you will be able to avoid negative energy from exploiting your life in the future, and it will be easier to change your life into a wonderful one.

Therefore, it is important to be willing to receive hints from seemingly negative phenomena. Even if you don’t understand what they are, by being aware that they are the influence of some negative Ki and receiving Shinkiko, the energy will be more easily delivered to you, and it will become an opportunity for you to become aware of them.

It was just after the winter solstice that my father as our founder had a dream on the night of December 23, 1988, and was able to release Ki. It could be said this was a major turning point, a time when fortunes were beginning to improve, as the “Ichiyo Raifuku” (returning sunshine) was truly in full swing. This year’s members’ gathering will be held in Osaka on the 20th, followed by the final day in Tokyo on the 21st.

During this time, around the winter solstice, when many people come together and focus their attention at the same time, strong energy gathers from the universe. This energy spreads through everyone who participates, purifying the environment.

In conjunction with the members’ gathering, we would like to ask you to share your “finds of the good” with us. Looking back over the past year, if you can notice something good in both the good and bad things that happened, that will be “finds of the good.” Even if something was bad, by sharing it, the recipient may be able to give you some hints. In that sense, any story is fine, so we look forward to hearing from you. We want to make it an even brighter light.

Yesterday, December 11th, was the death anniversary of my father, our founder.  He passed away in 1995, so exactly 30 years have passed. Time really does fly.   The Shinkiko Members’ Gathering, which began on the anniversary of his death, will be held over three days this year as well, in Kumamoto on the 14th, Osaka on the 20th, and Tokyo on the 21st.

The energy of Shinkiko is relayed to members who are in high spirits, and our founder is also exerting his power from the universe.  Incidentally, the fundamental meaning of ancestor memorial services is to send the light known as Ki.  Therefore, I would like all participants to not only receive ki themselves, but also to be conscious of their ancestors and send them Ki.

Doing so will increase the energy of the souls of those who have passed away, and they will likely receive even more support from them. As our understanding of the soul deepens, we realize that people can continue to play an active role even after death.

Shinkiko is not a religion, but the thoughts of our founder, is still at work today.

Our founder devoted himself to his role of spreading Shinkiko, so he must be very pleased to see so many people attending our members’ gatherings.

Our founder said, “The purpose of Shinkiko is not to cure illness.  The true purpose is to enhance spirituality, purify the environment, and enable all things to live in a state of good energy.”  Shinkiko members’ gatherings are also an opportunity to send Ki to not only your ancestors, but also to people you care about, such as your children and grandchildren.

When many people align their consciousness at the same time, powerful energy from the universe gathers on Earth. The energy that gathers through the person receiving the Ki spreads to the surrounding area, changing the ki environment.

I intend to keep this point in particular in mind when attending members’ gatherings. I hope that everyone will also tune into this wavelength.

Next year will mark 40 years since the invention of Hi Genki, which means that Shinkiko began.  We need everyone’s cooperation to make it a good year.

It’s not a big end-of-year cleaning, but while I was cleaning out the storehouse, I came across a bunch of books entitled “Ki: The Energy of Light that Fills the Mind, Body and Soul.”

This book was published in 2009 and is a little old, but we will provide a copy free of charge to anyone who requests one (postage will be charged if mailed), so please come to our head office or the nearest center.

There are limited numbers of copies, so we apologize if they run out. We hope that many people will participate, and that we can gather a lot of Shinkiko energy on this Earth.

Children grow up quickly, but even adults who are always concerned with aging are surely experiencing great spiritual growth. Even if something bad happens at first glance, it may have been a valuable experience that helped develop the soul. Looking back over the past year, I’m sure there were many different things that made you happy, sad, angry, and depressed. However, all of those experiences are important and have shaped who you are today.

We can honestly be happy when good things happen, but when bad things happen, we tend to think, “Why does this have to happen to me?” However, it’s important to realize that even events that at first glance seem negative can have meaning or lessons to teach us. For example, even if you have trouble with your relationships, it can make you think about the other person’s feelings and make you realize your own shortcomings.

My father, the predecessor, often said, “Everything has meaning.” He said that everything, good and bad, is a learning opportunity for the soul to grow. It is certainly true that when we go through difficult experiences, we think deeply and reexamine ourselves. It is not uncommon for us to realize for the first time in difficult situations important things that we didn’t notice when things were going smoothly.

When the influence of negative energy is strong, you focus only on the bad things that happen and you end up believing that you are unhappy. However, by receiving the energy of Shinkiko, your perspective changes. Even with the same event, you will be able to see the positive side, thinking, “This is an opportunity for me to grow,” or “This experience has made me who I am today.”

This month, the Shinkiko members’ gathering will be held, and you will be able to receive a lot of Ki, so it would be good to look back on the past year. Of course, look back on the good things, but have you learned anything from the painful and sad times as well? Think about how that failure has helped you become more careful now, or how meeting that person has given you a new perspective, and try to reevaluate each experience like this.

Everything I experienced this year is a treasure that has helped me hone my soul. Everything, both the good and the bad, had meaning. I would like to continue to cherish my daily experiences and continue to learn from them, while receiving the support of Shinkiko’s energy. As we enter the final month of this year, I am reminded once again that the key to making my soul shine is to treasure each and every experience and welcome the new year with a feeling of gratitude.
