Recently, a member came to me with a concern: “I find ‘Shinkiko’ to be truly wonderful and would like to recommend it to a friend, but I’m worried they might think it’s something suspicious, so I find it difficult to bring up.” I can certainly understand that sentiment. The origins of Shinkiko date back exactly 40 years, when my predecessor—in a dream—was taught how to create the “High Genki” (a device for transmitting Ki energy) by an old man with a white beard. To be perfectly honest, even I thought it looked suspicious when I first saw the High Genki. If I—the founder’s own son—felt that way, it is only natural that someone encountering it for the first time might be skeptical.
It is only natural for someone hearing the name “Shinkiko” for the first time to wonder if it might be something suspicious. Given the talk of invisible energy, the use of unfamiliar terminology, and the inclusion of the character “Ki” (氣)—all these elements combined—it is quite understandable that one might become wary, suspecting it could be some form of spiritual practice or a scheme designed to sell high-priced products.
However, the desire to “recommend this to a friend” is rooted in a positive, supportive energy—a wish to guide that person toward something better, to help them find a gateway to the light. Therefore, rather than worrying too much or overcomplicating things, I encourage you to simply share it with them—perhaps by saying, “Hey, check this out”—or by inviting them to a free trial session.
“Shinkiko” involves receiving “Ki”—an energy from the universe—that is gathered and channeled to you. There are no scriptures or formal teachings, nor is there any requirement to believe in anything. Whether or not you choose to receive it, or continue with it, is always entirely up to you. What matters most is simply how you yourself feel when you actually experience it.
The reasons why people might find something “suspicious” generally fall into three categories: concerns that it might be a religion, worries that the solicitation could be overly aggressive, or fears that one might be pressured into purchasing expensive items. “Shinkiko” (真氣光) is not based on any specific faith or set of scriptures. Furthermore, the “Ki” (energy) products offered are simply tools designed to make it easier to experience the benefits of “Ki” in one’s daily life; purchasing them is by no means a prerequisite for receiving those benefits. Many people report feeling a sense of physical lightness or a calming of the mind after receiving “Ki”—but this is not something you are asked to accept through mere persuasion; rather, it is something you can verify for yourself through your own personal experience.
For those who feel that attending an introductory session might be a bit daunting, we offer videos on YouTube through which you can experience Ki (energy). We also provide various Ki-related items, starting with simple, affordable options like cards or stickers priced at around 1,000 yen. I encourage you to begin by experiencing Ki in whatever way feels most accessible to you; you can then decide for yourself whether or not it is something you find credible—after you have experienced it firsthand.
