Month: January 2026

At my recent Shinkiko lesson, I forgot to bring the necessary equipment and my computer, which I usually bring with me. I had assumed that I wouldn’t need my computer today because it was just a session, so I didn’t bring it with me. Perhaps it was a message from the positive energy telling me to “check carefully once more.” This incident reminded me once again of the importance of checking carefully.

Fortunately, even though I didn’t have computers, I had smartphones and tablets, so I managed to get through it, although it may have been a little hard to hear and caused inconvenience to the participants. If you think flexibly and use what you have on hand, you can get by. However, it remains important to check everything thoroughly.

Recently, I feel like I’m trying to get everything done in a short amount of time, which has resulted in me skipping work, such as checking emails. I’m approaching the elderly age range, but I think it’s important not to blame it on my age.

In fact, research has shown that the influence of negative Ki can cause people to age faster than their actual age. According to a study by Nara Medical University, elderly people who feel that they are “mentally older than their actual age” are 3.33 times more likely to experience a decline in their daily functions and become dependent on care. This is a scientific fact proven by a three-year follow-up study.

Looking at this mechanism from the perspective of Ki, negative Ki that has entered the gaps in people’s minds, such as “I might be getting old” or “I’m already old,” is robbing them of their Ki energy and making them appear older. Conversely, the same research has also shown that people who feel “younger than their actual age” have a lower risk of needing care.

Negative energy creeps in when we feel weak or give up. The moment we think, “It can’t be helped, I’m getting old,” it becomes a perfect opportunity for negative energy to creep in, resulting in a loss of energy and making the person’s mind and body age more than they actually do.

This incident has taught me the importance of the basic principle of not neglecting to check things, as well as the ability to respond flexibly, and above all, the mindset of not blaming age. I would like to use Hi Genki daily, develop the habit of checking things carefully, and at the same time maintain a positive attitude that does not give in to my age. This will lead to a way of life that keeps negative energy away and attracts positive energy.

In this news letter, I frequently feature me being bossed around by my two-year-old son. This time, it’s about how whenever I tell him not to do something, he just keeps doing it.

When I tell him not to bang his spoon on the table while he’s eating, he starts banging it harder and harder. We have been taught that saying “Don’t do this!” makes you more likely to do it.

This is apparently a well-known phenomenon in the world of psychology, and there is a famous experiment conducted by Wegner and others at Harvard University called the “Polar Bear Experiment.”

When participants were instructed not to think about polar bears, many of them ended up thinking about polar bears instead.  The human brain has an ironic property in that when you consciously try to avoid something, your attention is drawn to it.

Especially when the influence of negative Ki is at work, saying “don’t do this” plays into the negative Ki’s hands and has the opposite effect.

For example, if you think, “I’ll try not to stay up late,” you will be in tune with the negative Ki’s consciousness of “I want to make people stay up late, lower their energy, and get what I want.”

On the other hand, if you say, “I’ll go to bed at a certain o’clock,” you are consciously setting a specific action to take, which will help keep negative energy away and increase your energy.

It is also effective to rephrase “I won’t get angry” as “I’ll speak calmly.”

Negative words make it difficult for the brain to imagine an action that you “don’t do,” so instead, you end up imagining yourself “doing” it.

That’s why it’s effective to redirect your attention to “do this” rather than “don’t do that.”

Furthermore, humans have a desire to be free.  When someone orders you “not to do that,” that freedom is inhibited, and you rebel and end up wanting to do it instead.

This psychology may also be at work when my two-year-old son rebels against what I say.

In this way, the words we choose can change negative Ki that is affecting not only our actions but also our emotions into positive ones, with even better results.

When you think about it this way, words are not just a means of transmitting information, but a “switch” that affects the brain, heart, and even the Ki of those around us.

For this reason, even when I am being tossed around by various things, by using Hi Genki, I can use the power of Shinkiko to focus on my words and use positive words to change the Ki of myself, my family, and those around me.

I have heard from people who practice Shinkiko that they have become kinder to the people around them. Seeing the happy smiles of others makes you happy too. I feel that this is the essence of “finding the good in yourself.”

Being able to do something for those around you is actually very important. Therefore, using Hi Genki to share your Ki with your family is also a wonderful way to practice “finding the good.” In addition to physical actions, there are also mental aspects to contribute to those around you. Exchanging a smile, listening, expressing gratitude. These small everyday actions actually generate a large amount of positive chi, or light energy.

This is something that is easy to understand in theory, but difficult to put into practice. Speaking from my own perspective, taking care of my son is stressful, but I think a lot of it is due to my own shortcomings. My wife sometimes gets in a bad mood. When she’s in a bad mood, negative energy affects the whole family, so both my son and I are affected by it.

However, telling the person to “cheer up” will not solve the problem. On the contrary, it will obviously only add fuel to the fire. So what should we do? The answer is simple. With the help of Shinkiko’s power, I have no choice but to do what I can to make the other person feel better.

If I have time, I should relax and do whatever I can to relieve stress. I also need to seriously study how I can make my wife and son happy. I think I do a lot for them, but it seems like it’s just something they take for granted.

This means that my thinking is shallow, but it’s quite difficult. For some reason, I find myself getting annoyed at others. But this year, I think I need to get serious about this research.

What do others want? What will truly make them happy? It’s important to observe and try to understand. Sometimes you express gratitude with words, sometimes you listen quietly, and sometimes you offer concrete help. There should be a form of “kindness” that suits the other person.

Being kind to those around you not only makes them happy, but also makes you happy when you see their smile. This cycle attracts positive energy and repels negative energy. By using Hi Genki, you can accumulate positive energy every day, which will brighten up your entire family and the environment around you. As the new year approaches, I’ve had many failures, but I’m trying to keep this in mind.

Thank you for your continued support this year. How did you all spend the New Year holidays? I struggled every day with my tough two-year-old son. He’s very selfish, and if he says “I want to do this” he’ll burst into tears if I don’t follow his orders.

How can I get him to listen to my wishes in a peaceful manner? It’s a process of trial and error, but it’s a very tough challenge. For me, his nap time is the only time I get to rest, and the rest of the time, from when I wake up until I go to sleep, I’m completely at his mercy.

Today I start work again, and I feel somewhat relieved. But I also think that these days are precious. It’s important not to let short-term gains or losses cause negative emotions.

By the way, I have something I would like to announce to you all, so I have decided to make this the first news of the new year. This year marks the 40th anniversary of the creation of the Ki relay device, Hi Genki, and the birthday of my predecessor(father), March 22nd, is also the 90th anniversary of his birth. To commemorate these two milestones, we have decided to hold a Shinkiko 40th Anniversary Seminar on March 22nd.

Over the past 40 years, various types of Hi Genki have been created, based on what my predecessor learned in a dream. They relay Ki energy from the universe, but how they radiate the collected energy has changed, and since the predecessor’s Hi Genki Type 2, various types have been created, including Types 3, 6, 7, and 8, depending on the amount of Ki relayed.

To celebrate our 40th anniversary, we are offering a 10% discount on all Hi Genki and Hi Genki Mini models until March 22nd. If you are purchasing Type 7 or 8 model, you can also trade in Type 3 or later model for a discount, so please consider this offer.

For those who own a Ki Plate Mat, we have decided to sell a set of four dedicated sheets at a special price of 40,000 yen for a limited time until March 22nd. HG White Sheet Half (A4 size) is 93,500 yen, so four B6 size sheets have 1.5 times the surface area, which would normally be expensive, but we are offering this special price as a token of our appreciation.

The same serial number as your current mat will be engraved on a special sheet, allowing you to receive Ki throughout the entire mat. We hope you will purchase one and share your experience with our staff.

This year, I hope to meet you all in many places. I pray that 2026 will be a year filled with light.
