My wife went to the hair salon. When she came back, she asked me, “What do you think of my hair?” and I replied, “It looks good.” When she asked me, “What do you like about it?”, I didn’t know what to say right away, so I answered, “It looks fresh.” Of course, since she had a haircut, it should look fresh. I felt a bit funny saying that myself.

To me, it’s nothing special, but to the person in question, that seems to be the key point. I was reminded once again that not understanding this is my weakness.

The other day, I read an article titled “How to improve your wife’s mood…” and it made me realize that I’m not good at small talk. People who aren’t good at small talk tend to dismiss small everyday events as “unimportant.”

It’s true that I’ve always prioritized things I consider important, like work and big goals. However, things like my wife’s hairstyle and other small everyday events may seem small to me, but they’re important to her. I realized that the problem was that I was using my own standards to define what I considered “small.”

I tend to think of rambling, inconclusive conversations as “unimportant talk,” and I don’t enjoy the conversation itself. “I’ve heard that story before,” “That story again?” “What’s the solution?” “How long are you going to be struggling with that problem?” These kinds of questions pop up one after another, and if there’s a problem, you want to solve it, and if there’s a goal, you want to set a goal. If the conversation isn’t leading to a solution or a goal, I lose interest in listening.

I always tell people, “When you receive the energy of Shinkiko and your own Ki rises, it becomes easier to feel at ease in your mind.” Feelings of joy emit positive Ki, which not only raises your own Ki but also changes the Ki of those around you. To achieve this, it’s important to be able to have casual conversations and chat. By listening to what others have to say through casual conversation and cherishing their small joys and interests, the bond between you will deepen.

From now on, when I think that something my wife is talking about is “small,” I will try to think, “Is it small to my wife?” and try to be in a position where I can listen to the things she likes. I would also like to borrow the power of Shinkiko’s energy even more, so that I can enjoy casual conversation with a relaxed mind.

As I wrote about in last week’s article, when my son is crying, if I make a series of funny faces, he often stops crying and starts laughing. I’m sure that to others I look ridiculous doing this, but it’s just what a doting parent does.

I believe that the act of “making people laugh” is actually very important. To raise your Ki you need to emit positive Ki from yourself. This is because Ki has the property that by doing so, positive Ki will gather from those around you due to the vibrational synchronization effect. Laughter is truly the source of generating positive Ki.

At the Shinkiko Retreat seminar held every month, we do something called “Laughter Practice.” Everyone joins hands and at first tries to force themselves to laugh. As they yell “Ha ha ha,” the atmosphere gradually becomes more cheerful, and before they know it, they’re actually laughing.

My father, our founder, always had a punch line in his stories and valued the humorous aspects of rakugo and manzai. Even in serious stories, he would always include something that would make people chuckle.

To increase laughter in your daily life, you need to have the mental space to see your own and those around you’re making jokes about their mistakes. For example, while I was seriously explaining Shinkiko, my nose suddenly started to itch and I sneezed loudly. The sound echoed through the quiet hall, and for a moment I wondered what to do, but then I said, “This is also proof that the energy of Ki is working on the body,” and it became a funny story, lightening the mood in the room.

When you receive the energy of Shinkiko and your Ki rises, you will find it easier to have peace of mind. If the influence of negative Ki is strong, you will take even small failures seriously, but as the support of positive Ki increases, you will be able to turn the same event into laughter.

Laughter is not something we passively wait for; it’s good to create it ourselves. Laughing with others also raises the energy in the room and deepens the bonds between you.

It’s especially in difficult times that we should not forget to laugh. A little laughter creates peace of mind, which gives us the strength to take the next step. And when we laugh, we not only send positive energy to ourselves, but to invisible beings as well.

So, try to find humour in the little things that happen in your daily life, turn your failures into jokes, and laugh at silly things. By doing so, you will attract positive energy around you, and your life will become more enjoyable and fulfilling.

My son, who will soon be two years old, has recently been carrying a picture book about vegetables with him wherever he goes. The book features a variety of vegetables, including radishes and cabbages, but he always has it open to the page featuring sweet potatoes. His favorite parts are the three pages that say, “Sweet potatoes grown in the fields,” “Now lined up at the greengrocer’s. They’re sweet potatoes,” and “Let’s roast them and enjoy them,” and he seems to particularly like the first page, where they are about to harvest in the fields.

Because he opens it every day, the pages have become tattered, and I have reinforced them with tape in several places, so it has become quite thick. The picture book is so small that he can barely hold it in one hand, but he even takes it with him when he goes for walks, and I always hold it open to the page showing the sweet potatoes growing in the fields, which makes me feel a little embarrassed in front of the people around me.

Why does he like it so much? He likes roasted sweet potatoes, but he could have opened it to page 3, where a girl is eating them with relish. But what he likes most is the picture of a field full of sweet potatoes hanging from vines being harvested.

There is no logic to liking something. This must be related to the Ki from this picture. It is truly because of Ki. I say that there is positive Ki and negative Ki, and both are related to “liking” something. We want to like things with as good Ki as possible, but if we are influenced by strong negative Ki, we will naturally end up liking things with bad Ki.

Since you are always on the same wavelength as negative Ki, you need to be careful and think logically about whether this is the influence of negative Ki. Even if you can’t tell for yourself, you may be able to tell through others. If you think something is wrong, I would like you to recharge with the energy of Shinkiko. If you take in Ki from outside and raise your own Ki, you will naturally lose contact with things that emit negative Ki.

It may be that the things that small children innocently like hide something important that we adults have forgotten. Seeing my son’s pure sense of “liking” something makes me want to cherish the things that make me feel truly comfortable. With the support of Shinkiko’s energy, I would like to hone my sense of naturally choosing things that give off positive Ki.

In the Shinkiko retreat seminar, we spend a lot of time practicing “finding the good positive points.” Today, we will explain the “finding the good positive points” method of deliberately setting small goals for yourself and recognizing that you have achieved them.

When things don’t go well, when failures or unfortunate events occur, the feeling that there’s nothing you can do can grow stronger. Negative energy is dark energy that doesn’t want to change, so it prevents people from changing for the better.

Just by being able to take action, our light-like energy of Shinkiko increases, but by accumulating small successes, the influence of negative Ki gradually fades away, and we become more susceptible to the support of positive Ki.

To explain a little more, when we make a decision and take action, we consider whether or not to take that action. When you think, “This is such a pain” or “Maybe I can skip it today,” your physical condition and emotions at the time can also link up, causing negative energy to take effect.

Therefore, setting small but achievable goals and acknowledging your success in achieving them will allow you to act more effectively with less effort, increasing your light.

If you think about it this way, “finding the good” by setting small goals is a challenge to negative energy, but you can make it easier to succeed by using the following methods.

1. First, decide on a goal that you are sure you can achieve.

The key is to clearly define the specific actions, time, and number of times.

For example, start with “always say thank you to my family at least once,” and gradually increase the number.

2. Once you have done it, be sure to record it.

For example, you can use a calendar or diary to write down not only “what you did” but also “how you felt.”

3. At the end of your record, add positive words such as “You did it again today” or “You’re doing well.”

These words are the key to attracting positive energy.

Also, even if there are days when you can’t do it, it’s important not to give up and start again. Furthermore, look back on the past and remember what you’ve accomplished. Think about “why you were able to achieve it” and focus on what actions and attitudes of your own led to that result.

Then, by thinking about how you can apply this to the problems you’re currently facing, you’ll gain the confidence that “if I did it then, I can do it this time too.”

Even if your energy is very negative, by continuing to use Hi Genki, it will change little by little. Furthermore, by looking for the small good positive things in yourself, you can get closer to your ideal self, one step at a time.

Our predecessor had a dream in which an old man with a white beard appeared to him and taught him how to make it, and Hi Genki was born. He was told that “Ki is coming out of your hands,” and he became a Ki practitioner, and started the Shinkiko retreat seminar, saying, “Everyone can do it, so teach them.” I have never had such a dream.

After our predecessor passed away, I developed various Ki products, improved the performance of Ki relay devices, and expanded the range of models, but I believe this was also an invisible, positive form of Ki support. In my case, I would think, “I wish I could make something like this,” but most of the time, no matter how much I thought about it, nothing would come to mind. I had an idea by chance, and when I tried it, I think I ended up creating something that “might actually work.”

I guess the fact that I can come up with ideas is a sign of positive Ki support. I usually don’t have good ideas when I’m busy. I think it’s mostly when I’m receiving Ki, having a session, or in the bath, and in a relaxed mode.

In fact, there seems to be scientific evidence to support this. According to a study by Raichle et al. at the University of Washington, most of the brain’s energy consumption is already used when it is at rest and not performing any specific tasks. When taking on a new task, the increase in energy consumption is only 5 to 10 percent.

When you are doing something, a lot of blood flows to the necessary parts of the brain in order to concentrate and perform that action efficiently, while it is difficult to get blood to other parts. In other words, when you space out, blood flow does not go to one part of the brain, but flows evenly, which ultimately leads to energy being delivered to parts that have not been used, making it easier to get inspiration.

From the perspective of Ki, as has been theoretically explained, spacing out without the influence of negative Ki may give you a good idea at that time. However, the influence of negative Ki can also make you feel like you don’t want to do anything, or you can’t do anything at all, so you need to be careful about this.

In order to have a good inspiration, it is important to first receive Shinkiko to keep negative energy away and create a relaxed state. By doing so, you will be more likely to receive support from positive energy, making it easier for creative inspiration to come to you.

Even in the midst of your busy daily life, try to consciously take time to daydream, such as daydreaming over a cup of tea, looking up at the sky while hanging out the laundry, or taking a leisurely walk. With the help of the energy of Shinkiko, you will likely gain insights and hints on how to change for the better.

The HG White Sheets, which went on sale in August, have been purchased by many people and have been very well received in both the full size and half size. The testimonials we have received show that people are experiencing their high effectiveness. We are currently making preparations to make the HG White Sheets available to all participants at the Shinkiko retreat seminar to be held in Noto, Ishikawa Prefecture next week.

Due to the positive reception of the HG White Sheet, we have decided to replace the “HG Card” with a new “HG Card White.” The material of the previous HG Card was a thin stainless steel plate, but this will be changed to white PET resin, and all engraving will be standardized to the laser engraving method, which has proven effective in recent years. This will increase the amount of Ki relay and also reduce manufacturing costs, allowing us to offer high-output Ki goods at a more affordable price.

As the vibrations of Shinkiko become stronger, the options for materials related to Ki goods and Ki relay devices seem to be expanding. I think this is very meaningful in that as the number of people using Shinkiko increases, we can take advantage of its characteristic of improving the amount of Ki relay.

To commemorate the release of this “HG Card White,” we are offering a special 20% discount of 26,400 yen until September 30th, off the regular price of 33,000 yen.

In addition, sales of Shinkiko plates and laser engraving services will continue as before, with Shinkiko plates priced at 28,600 yen and HG-type engraving, which involves laser-engraving a pyramid mark over the name engraving, priced at 38,500 yen. For those who already own a Shinkiko plate, the HG-type engraving service is available for 19,800 yen.

The HG series, including the HG Card White and the HG Light Mini, are Ki goods that allow you to send Ki to people and places by recording the information, along with their serial numbers, in a ledger managed by SAS.

On the other hand, the Shinkiko Plate, like the large Shinkiko Plate, has the name of the person to whom I will send Ki engraved by hand on the surface of the plate.

If you have many people to whom you want to send Ki, or if you want to send more Ki (as the engraving of a person’s name makes it easier for the purchaser to remember), then I recommend the Shinkiko Plate, but if you are satisfied with serial number management through SAS registration, then I recommend the more affordable HG Card White. (Note: Shinkiko Plates do not have serial numbers.)

We hope you will take advantage of this launch sale and send us your experiences.

Recently, my wife, who was feeling a little tired from taking care of my son, became very depressed after something someone said to her. Three days later, she was still thinking about it and worrying about it, and it seemed to have been quite a shock to her. I tried to tell her, “That’s just the way that person thinks, so don’t worry about it,” but once it’s pierced her heart, it’s hard to get rid of.

In fact, our brains are designed to make it easier to forget unpleasant memories. This has been scientifically proven by research by Richard Walker of Winston-Salem State University in North Carolina, USA. In other words, the reason we feel like we can’t forget unpleasant things is simply because we keep ruminating on them in our heads. As we repeatedly remember them, our forgetting mechanism, which should work normally, stops working properly.

From the perspective of Ki, this is a state in which the negative Ki emanating from the heart matches its wavelength with the negative Ki around it, attracting it further. If something triggers negative emotions, you will become trapped in a negative loop, and the negative Ki will make it difficult for you to forget.

So, even if something irritates you in your daily life, such as someone yelling at you, scolding you, or ignoring you when you say hello, don’t worry too much about it. If unpleasant memories start to come to mind, tell yourself, “I’m done!” and think about something else, like your weekend plans or what to have for dinner.

That being said, as was the case in my family, there are many different situations, such as differences in positions between people and the level of their relationships, so it’s not always that easy to talk about. If you organize your thoughts and think about it, you can change yourself, but you can’t change the other person. The most important thing is to change yourself for the better, so think about it logically and once you’ve come to a conclusion, there’s no point in thinking about it any further, so don’t worry about it.

However, if you just can’t seem to get rid of your negative emotions, I recommend receiving Shinkiko. Be aware of the negative energy that may be involved and receive Shinkiko to transform it into positive energy. It is more effective if you can receive a slightly stronger amount of energy, so it would be even better to participate in a session or take Shinkiko Retreat seminar.

The support of positive energy will make you feel more at ease and less susceptible to the effects of negative energy. Forgetfulness is a natural blessing, but with Shinkiko you can use this power more effectively and live a richer life.

Have you ever repeatedly found yourself feeling things like, “I got angry about the same thing again…” or “Why am I so annoyed with my husband or children?”? Once negative emotions arise, you can fall into a negative loop. From the perspective of Ki, this is because when you fall into negative emotions, the vibrational attunement of the negative Ki you emit attracts negative Ki to those around you.

In my talk last July entitled “Reflecting on Yourself Based on the Guidelines for Purifying Your Mind,” I explained the influence of positive and negative Ki that you are already receiving, but this time let’s dig a little deeper.

For example, every morning on the commuter train, Mr. A feels a sense of “It’s so crowded again today, I hate it.” At this point, he begins to attract a slight negative energy. When he arrives at work, his boss asks, “How did that thing go?” The anxiety of “I’ll be blamed again…” brings about even more negative energy, and by lunchtime he falls into a thought pattern of “I’m a no-good person.” To break this negative loop, he sets aside time at the end of the day to reflect and record his thoughts in a memo or other form.

1.Write down the moments that made you feel negative that day (when, where, with whom, and what you were doing). 2. Record the specific emotions you felt at that moment. 3. Find out why those emotions arose and what triggered you to attract negative energy. 4. Look back to see if you have experienced the same pattern in the past. 5. Find your own unique tendency to attract negative energy.

For example, in the case of Person A, it turns out that “crowded places,” “questions from superiors,” and “situations where one feels responsible” are triggers that attract negative energy. When you can see patterns like this, you can realize, “Oh, it was like this the other day! I’m starting to attract negative energy again,” and take measures to deal with it.

First, when you notice negative emotions, receive Shinkiko. It is effective to become aware of any negative Ki that may be related to them, or to receive a slightly stronger Ki. You can also use Ki goods or a Ki relay device, or you can take advantage of the 20 minutes from 7am and 9pm when I send Ki. The support of positive Ki will make you feel better, and you will be able to see your tendency to be drawn to negative Ki and prevent it from happening in the first place.

While the previous introspection using the “Guidelines for Mind Purification” was a way to understand the influence of negative energy in the past and present, this time it is a practical method to prevent negative energy in the future. By combining the two, you will be able to more effectively ward off negative energy and receive the support of positive energy.

At every Shinkiko retreat seminar, we do a program called “Fun Cards,” which participants answer the question on a card they draw. We did this at the one-day seminar the other day, and used 14 cards. We turn the cards over with the questions written on them, shuffle them well, and then draw one card at a time, and sometimes strange phenomena occur.

Groups are formed with several people, and over the course of about an hour, participants take turns playing cards twice. Some people draw the same card, and some draw the exact same card they drew the previous time. Although the probability of drawing the same card twice is extremely low at 1 in 196, there have been times when several people in a group have drawn the same card. When you consider these odds, it seems that some invisible force must be at work. I believe this is due to the power of positive energy.

We all have positive energy, or guardian spirits like our ancestors, who want us to be aware of something. When energy from a higher dimension is delivered in a special place like the Shinkiko retreat seminar, light-like energy reaches the negative energy that gets in the way. By being conscious of the questions written on the cards, it becomes easier for the light to reach you.

I also had a strange experience when making the HG White Sheet I mentioned last week. I came up with the idea of ​​laser engraving on white PET resin, created a pattern, and tried several prototypes, but I just couldn’t engrave on a large surface. What’s more, the laser’s irradiation position moved on its own even though I wasn’t touching anything, causing the engraving to be off-center. However, if I pulled myself together and tried again, it worked fine the next time.

When I finally managed to engrave one sheet, I had the center try it out and received feedback that it was “really good,” so I decided to commercialize it, even though I thought it might not be possible. After that, the laser engraving machine continued to experience problems for unknown reasons, but I finally managed to make enough samples for all of our centers.

It seemed like negative energy was getting in the way of making this Ki item, but the positive energy was supporting it even more, so it was still possible to make it even though the engraving machine malfunctioned, which is something that would normally be impossible. If negative energy was interfering with the product out of a sense of crisis, then it must have been a very influential Ki item.

This August marks the Obon festival, and the 80th anniversary of the end of the war. Conflicts continue to occur around the world. Since the dawn of history, energy from the universe has been sent to bring even a little light to the strong negative energy that has drawn humanity into conflict. I hope that each and every one of us will make use of this energy in the places closest to us.

Laser engraving the SAS triple mark or pyramid mark significantly improves the amount of Ki relay, so in the September-October issue we introduced a service that provides laser engraving on the surface of the seat head.

When we started this service, we first checked the sheet heads at our center and found damage to the internal etching sheet, especially on the edges, and noticed similar trends in several other members’ sheets. This could result in a drop in performance. So, rather than engraving from above, we came up with a method of cutting and removing the entire internal metal etching sheet, inserting a film-type element instead, and then re-adhering it.

Although there are concerns about the strength of the cuts, we have decided to repair them free of charge if they are damaged, and have made this method an official service. This will more reliably improve the amount of Ki relay. The original price per set was 38,500 yen, but we want more people to experience this effect, so we are offering it at half price until the end of this month.

This upgrade is available for up to 10 sets, but the current discount only applies to two sets, with a 20% discount for three sets or more.

We will also be offering a similar service for light heads that do not have laser engraving. This service involves laser engraving the internal etching sheet, and also costs 38,500 yen per side, but is available with a 20% discount for up to 10 sets. In addition, anyone purchasing a new seat head or light head will also offer a 20% discount.

＿＿Special Sale of HG White Sheets!＿＿

We’re releasing the HG White Sheet as a new Ki item to replace the Ki Plate Sheet. The back of this 30cm x 25cm, 1mm thick white PET resin sheet features two laser-engraved SAS triple marks, the same as those found on the base plate of the Hi Genki 8. The front features four pyramid marks in the same pattern as the film inside the sheet head. The half-size version is also available as an HG White Sheet.

Although it belongs to the category of Ki goods, it has both main body and head functions, so you can expect the same effects as Hi Genki. That’s why we added HG to the name, calling it the HG White Sheet. It’s like a Ki Plate Sheet with enhanced head functions, so it’s recommended for those who want to fully absorb Ki into their bodies. Because it’s vertically long, it’s best to place it under your body, from your head to your back or waist.

It’s also more effective when used in combination with a seat head or light head. To celebrate the release, we’re offering a 20% discount until the end of this month so that you can try it out.

Please take advantage of this opportunity to stay healthy and get through the hot summer.
