I recently spoke with a music critic, Ms. Reiko Yukawa, for an interview for next month’s issue of the monthly magazine Hi Genki. This is the second time I met Ms. Yukawa. The last time, about 20 years ago, we had an interview and she told me that she knew the late chairman well, so we talked about that. This time, in addition to talking about her book “Canary of the Times,” which was published last year, she told me about how she succeeded in conducting a solo interview with the Beatles on their first visit to Japan, and how she got Elvis Presley to kiss her and sign her marriage certificate. I also heard that those miraculous things came from “a strong desire” and that it was very important.
I explained that the world of art, not only music, but also painting, sculpture, dance, etc., transmits Ki energy. I call it “Ki” because you can’t tell whether it is there or not, and “energy” because it can change often, but it is very difficult to express something that we can only feel in words.
During the Chairman’s Session, I ask the participants to write down what is bothering them, and in the Shinkiko Retreatment Course, they are required to submit a daily report summarizing the day’s events.
The energy of Shinkiko reaches what you focus on. It is also good to talk about it, but by writing, which requires more energy, Ki reaches to the negative Ki that is closely related to our mindset.
You can also receive Shinkiko on Youtube. Before receiving Shinkiko, it is good to write down what is bothering you. If there are many, the focus will be blurred, so it is better to focus on just one thing at first. What you are concerned about may be the effects of negative Ki. What kind of negative Ki with a negative feeling is affecting you? Think of it as the influence of negative Ki rather than your own mind. Is it hard for you? Is it suffering? Is it anger? …As much as possible, try to find out what is the source of the negative mind.
When receiving Shinkiko, first imagine the invisible light of Shinkiko coming into your body from the outside. When you do so, you will switch to a state of receiving the energy of Shinkiko. Next, imagine that the light gathers around the negative Ki which you have written. Then the Ki will reach and you will gradually stop worrying about it.
