Until yesterday, I was holding a Shinkiko retreat seminar in a wonderful environment adjacent to the Ise Jingu(shurine) forest. Thank you very much for your participation. There were many people who had been practicing Shinkiko for a long time, so I received a lot of “Ki” and it was a very good experience for me.
I always say that “Ki is an energy that cannot be captured by science.” Our mind and body are closely related to this “Ki”, and it has a great influence on our thoughts, emotions, and actions. For example, when you are happy, your mind and body feel lighter, and when you are sad, you feel heavier. This is because your state of mind changes the state of your “Ki,” which in turn affects your body.
Our will, thoughts, and heart also emit Ki, and when we are able to act according to our own will, the “Ki” in our bodies, which can also be called our souls, increases, but when we are forced to do so involuntarily, “Ki” increases. The spirit will drop.
Therefore, an individual’s free will is very important, and if that person’s will is not respected due to some kind of external pressure such as authority, the light of the soul will become small, and if the body is lost, it will be in a dark state, that is, a negative state. It makes me angry.
If we look back at history, people have long struggled for freedom. People’s freedoms have been taken away through war, political oppression, religious coercion, and even in their immediate relationships. As a result, there are many souls that have become negative energy.
However, people never gave up and little by little, they gained their freedom. Through this, painful and sad souls receive light and work to support us.
Shinkiko light is an energy that brightens the souls of such people and supports them to live a free life. There are no special teachings or rituals in Shinkiko. The important thing is to connect with the energy of the universe and let your own inner light shine.
There was a time when our predecessor(my father) considered turning Shinkiko into a religion, but in the end, we decided to make it a corporation based on the idea of valuing freedom. This is based on the philosophy that Shinkiko is not something that can be forced on anyone, but rather is something that each individual can freely accept.
All life on Earth is directed by someone who can be called the God of the creation of the universe, based on free will, in a direction that will lead to harmony with the universe. Shinkiko light is the energy that supports this.
Japan needs to change even more, and when I look at the world, I feel like we have entered a very important era. I think it was very meaningful that we were able to hold Shinkiko retreat seminar in Ise at the beginning of 2025.
