Since we last shared information about the effects of UV laser engraving, we’ve received a great deal of interest, and many people have purchased head upgrades for High Genki 7 and 8, as well as our 40th-anniversary commemorative cards. Thank you very much.

Your feedback is a great encouragement for our next development. The head upgrade involved engraving a pyramid mark with a UV laser, but this technology can actually be applied to the power unit that engraves the SAS triple mark as well.

Just like with the pyramid mark, the smaller and more precisely the mark can be engraved, the more marks can be arranged, and the more effective the power unit becomes. The power unit itself is designed to enhance the main unit’s functions by further increasing the energy of Shinkiko that gathers in the Ki relay device, High Genki.

The energy gathered in the High Genki device not only reaches the user through the head it’s paired with,but also spreads to the family members who own it.  In other words, it’s especially effective when those close to you, such as family members or ancestors, need energy.

If you’ve recently been concerned about your family’s health or want to support the important people around you, we encourage you to consider it.

Starting with this month’s orders, we have begun manufacturing power units using UV lasers.

This power unit is compatible with all models of the High Genki, from the Type 3 to the Type 8.

Originally, the power unit production began with etching the SAS triple mark onto a stainless steel sheet.

Subsequently, we reduced the number of sheets used by applying an additional engraving on top of the etching with an infrared laser. This time, by engraving on white PET with a UV laser, we were able to further reduce the number of sheets and achieve weight reduction.

For these reasons, all power units from Type 3 to Type 8 will be standardized to use UV lasers.

By reducing the number of units, manufacturing costs have been lowered, and we have been able to slightly reduce the price. The price will be 166,000 yen per set. We accept orders from 1 set up to a maximum of 10 sets.

Furthermore, for those using conventional power units who wish to reduce weight, we will replace them with this UV laser type with the purchase of one or more sets. The precision of the UV laser is leading to further advancements in Shinkiko products.

Please feel free to contact us if you have any questions.

The other day, something like this happened. My family and I were driving, thinking, “We have to get there by [time],” but the roads were quite congested and we weren’t making as much progress as we’d hoped. Just as I was starting to get a little irritated, my two-and-a-half-year-old son said from the back, “Why don’t we go slowly?” It was the perfect timing, and I couldn’t help but burst out laughing. My wife and I laughed together, wondering when and how he’d learned such a phrase. Sometimes children casually teach adults important things that we tend to forget.

Have you ever experienced something like this? When an illness or injury doesn’t heal easily, when a long-standing problem remains unresolved, when a relationship with a loved one is strained and causes heartache, or when you’re overwhelmed with anxiety about the future. In these situations, even though there’s nothing you can do to change the situation, you tend to keep thinking in circles, “There must be something I can do,” or “I could do better.” The more you think about it, the heavier you feel, and that frustration and impatience attracts more and more negative energy. This leads to a vicious cycle where you end up thinking about even more unnecessary things, and your mind becomes increasingly exhausted.

The line between what you can and cannot do on your own is surprisingly difficult to define, and you often find yourself thinking, “I can do something about it.” However, if you ultimately cannot do anything about it, it is important to realize this early and let go. My predecessor often spoke of “leaving it to God,” but by raising your own energy with Shinkiko, you can ward off negative energy and become more receptive to the support of positive energy. Separate yourself from things and leave the rest to fate. By doing so, you will receive support from unseen forces, come up with ideas for things you can actually do, receive help from unexpected sources, and things may start to move in a positive direction. First, try incorporating Shinkiko into your daily life and make it a point to recharge your energy.

Now, we have an additional announcement. Building on the UV laser technology we mentioned last week, we have created a “Shinkiko 40th Anniversary Commemorative Card” to celebrate the 40th anniversary of Shinkiko. By using the UV laser to engrave the SAS triple mark and the flat pyramid mark in smaller sizes and in greater detail than before, we have achieved several times the amount of energy transmission compared to previous Shinkiko cards. These are business card-sized aluminum cards and will be on sale until the end of this month, but after that, they will be a limited edition item and will be discontinued once stock runs out. Please order as soon as possible.

It’s now March. How is everyone doing? Recently, I’ve been working excitedly every day on a prototype using a new laser device. It’s a constant process of trial and error to see if it will work, but every time I get a sense of accomplishment, I start thinking about my next move. I think these times are the best part of development.

Well, I have something I want to tell you all, which is why I decided to bring you this news today.  Until now, we have mainly used infrared laser marking machines to create a variety of products. Starting with HG Card, then HG White Sheet and HG Card White, we have successively developed products that utilize laser marking technology. Recently, we purchased an marking machine that uses a UV (ultraviolet) laser and have been making prototypes.

The UV laser’s greatest feature is that it is extremely little affected by heat and can perform extremely precise processing. Because it has a shorter wavelength than an infrared laser, it can target finer details and reproduce complex patterns clearly. I feel that this technology really shows its true value in fine processing, where the more pyramids there are, the higher the air flow rate, rather than processing large objects.

We immediately created a pyramid that fits inside the cap of the Hi Genki 7 model using white PET resin instead of an etching sheet, and tried reducing and engraving the pyramid mark more densely than before. When some people tried it, they said it allowed them to access negative energy very sharply, like cutting into hard bedrock. It may be that the high-precision engraving makes the vibrations of the Shinkiko even sharper.

We have received good feedbacks that this is a very effective, so starting with High Genki 7 model shipped in March, we have decided to change the pyramid parts inside the cap to these high-density pyramids engraved on white PET with a UV laser. There is still space inside the cap, so up to 10 additional sets can be inserted. This will be available as a new “High Genki 7 model head upgrade” for 38,500 yen per set. Current High Genki 7 model users can also apply for an upgrade of one or more sets to receive a replacement, so please consider this option.

This technology can also be applied to High Genki 8 model, so in the future, when I upgrade (for 115,000 yen), I will insert a white PET sheet engraved with this high-density pyramid. I am personally very excited to see how the precision produced by the UV laser will expand the new possibilities of Shinkiko.

I recently heard a story about someone who narrowly escaped death after a terrible accident. I couldn’t help but say, “You’re lucky you survived,” and it truly is a case of “life is the source of all things.” According to a dictionary of proverbs, “life is the source of all things” means that everything is possible only because of life, and life is the source of everything. ‘Life is the root of all things.’ This could be seen as a philosophy that views life positively, but actual examples suggest a nuance of not taking risks that could put your life at risk. As seen in a Buddhist tale from the Heian period, which says, ‘Life is a lifetime’s treasure,’ the idea of ​​valuing life has existed in Japan since ancient times.”

So, what is life? I believe that “Because we are alive, we have Ki energy within our bodies. Even after we lose our bodies, Ki energy with consciousness continues to exist, and this is called the soul. Therefore, even after we lose our bodies, our consciousness remains, but this period while we have a body is extremely important.”

Only we who have bodies can greatly increase our Ki energy through our bodies. If we lose our bodies while harboring negative emotions, those emotions will continue to exist. Having a body comes with many inconveniences. When we are in pain and difficulty, our Ki energy may also decrease. However, positive emotions arise through our bodies. For example, we cannot experience emotions such as eating delicious food, having someone listen to us, taking a hot spring bath, or feeling good without a body. Even sleeping is a physical need, so it is something we cannot do without a body.

In this way, when you overcome difficult times, your Ki energy increases dramatically. Furthermore, when you receive Shinkiko, you are able to absorb more and more Ki energy into yourself, which helps you get through difficult times more quickly and allows you to send light-like energy to those around you, such as family, friends, and even ancestors. Some people who have already passed away are still waiting for that light. Just by being alive, the light-like Ki energy emitted from our bodies reaches our invisible souls, but when energy is received from outside using Shinkiko, this is further accelerated. There is not only positive Ki that wants to help, but also negative Ki that is waiting for the light.

That is why we should treasure the time we have in this body, receive Shinkiko on a daily basis, and steadily increase our Ki energy, which will not only strengthen us but also support the many beings with whom we are connected in an unseen way. “Life is what makes us a species” – this time we have while we are alive and have a body is an irreplaceable treasure, I think.

I used to work in research and development at an electronics company, but after I started feeling unwell due to stress, I decided to attend a Shinkiko retreat seminar and look at myself from the perspective of Ki. I felt strongly that I had to change my way of thinking. Until then, I had always felt that I had no luck, and I was constantly building up dissatisfaction.

From the perspective of Ki, the nature of Ki is that if you emit negative Ki, negative Ki will gather around you. So, in a sense, this chain of dissatisfaction was only natural.

A quick search reveals that the idea that “I’m lucky” has the power to change the outcome is scientifically supported. In a study by Damisch et al. at the University of Cologne, in a putt-putt golf experiment, participants who were told that it was a “lucky ball” had a 35% higher cup-in rate than participants who were not told. The belief that “I’m lucky” brings out a sense of self-efficacy and concentration.

And according to research by Khatun of Aligarh Muslim University, positive emotions can increase mental resilience and creativity, leading to better relationships and new opportunities.

So how can we cultivate the positive emotion of “I’m lucky”? The practice of doing so is “looking for the good.” In the Shinkiko retreat seminar, we spend a lot of time practicing “looking for the good,” but what I would like to focus on today is “looking for the good” from the perspective of “attracting good luck.” When something bad happens, instead of lamenting “why did this happen,” try to take it in a positive way and ask “what does this mean?” This change in attitude will greatly change the flow of Ki.

Negative energy is a dark energy that tries to make you interpret things negatively. When something bad happens, you immediately conclude, “I’m just unlucky after all,” which is the effect of negative energy. That’s why consciously finding the silver lining in misfortune is a way to challenge negative energy.

The important thing is that the “good things” you look for can be small. For example, you missed a traffic light today, or something you wanted happened to be on sale—even something as small as that can make you feel “lucky.” Repeating these experiences will make your brain more sensitive to positive information, creating a state in which you can notice even more “good things.” This will keep negative energy at bay, making it easier to receive the support of positive energy.

This will lead to attracting good fortune in a true sense. Furthermore, by receiving Shinkiko, negative energy will turn into light, making it easier to receive support from positive energy. By practicing “finding the good” together with Shinkiko, you will naturally develop a sense of “I am lucky.” First, try to start by finding small moments of “luck” in your day.

It snowed in Tokyo, and when we went for a walk, there were puddles on the road. They were dirty puddles, but my son wanted to get in because the moving water looked beautiful. I was worried about his shoes getting wet, but I let him splash around for a while until he was satisfied. In the end, we ended up washing his shoes when we got home. Adults and toddlers have different perspectives.

We see many things every day. Of the five senses, humans receive the overwhelming majority of information through their eyes, with over 80% of the brain being used to process visual information. Even when looking at the same puddle, I tend to feel negative emotions first, thinking “dirty” and “my shoes will get wet,” whereas my son seems to perceive it more positively, thinking “beautiful” and “interesting.” The key point is what emotions are connected to the information we receive through our vision.

From the perspective of Ki, even if you are looking at the same thing, if you are expressing negative emotions, you will attract negative Ki, so you need to be careful.

For example, if you think “It’s all about nasty incidents” every time you check the news on your smartphone, you’ll see the same articles over and over again, and the world will look bleak and you’ll feel anxious. Or if you think “My hair is thinning” or “I look pale” every time you look at yourself in the mirror, you’ll start noticing more and more of the things that bother you, and you’ll feel depressed. Has this ever happened to you?

It is necessary to change your perception as much as possible to a more positive one, so as not to let your emotions become negative. Furthermore, it is important to look at things that make you feel good. Also, if you are strongly influenced by negative energy, you will not be able to see good things, and in fact, you will strangely be drawn to only negative things.

When you receive the energy of Shinkiko and your Ki rises, even if you look at the same scenery, your mind will become more balanced and you will see a brighter world. You will be more likely to receive the support of positive Ki, and you will naturally be able to see things with a calmer mind. Nature is full of beautiful things, so if you put yourself in such a place, or even in the city, you will find that it is full of beautiful things if you look closely.

I too will try to recharge my energy with Shinkiko on a regular basis, keep negative energy away, and have a more positive perspective. I hope that you will also use Shinkiko effectively and take in good energy so that you can transform the world you see into a brighter, more prosperous one.

Today was the last day of the Shinkiko retreat seminar in Ise. One of the participants wrote in her report, “I used to think I was nothing, but from now on I’m going to live with confidence.”

We all have our own thinking habits. “I’m no good,” “I can’t do it,” “It was no good after all,” “Why does it have to be me?” We sometimes mutter these things to ourselves. Negative energy resonates with this negative mindset and gathers, further strengthening the habit.

Behind the words “I’m just…” lies a very pure feeling: “I really want to be recognized,” “I want to be loved,” “I want to be cherished.”

It could be that they believe they are worthless due to an experience of not receiving enough love in childhood, or it could be a defensive reaction to try to ease the pain of being rejected by others by first denying themselves, or it could be a sign that they want someone to tell them that it’s not true, or an indirect sign that they need help.

Negative energy gathers in tune with this “I’m nothing…” feeling, and it further strengthens this self-denial, which is itself the negative energy that carries that feeling.

However, by receiving Shinkiko, you can become aware of your thinking habits. As you continue to receive Shinkiko, the clumps of negative energy will gradually peel off and turn into light, and you will come to realize, “Oh, I was thinking in the same pattern again.” And once you become aware of your habits, it will become easier for negative energy to turn into light.

So, while receiving lots of Shinkiko, try listening to your own monologue. For example, if you make a small mistake at work and mutter to yourself, “I’m no good anymore,” then underneath that might be the desire to be perfect or to be recognized.

When someone scolds you and you think, “I should have said that more gently,” behind that thought may be a desire to be treated with care. When you’re frustrated waiting at the register and you say to yourself, “Why is it so slow?” behind that may be a desire to value your own time.

Observe your everyday self-talk in this way, and while receiving Shinkiko, ask yourself, “What feelings are behind these words?” Talking with fellow members at training courses or centers will give you even deeper insights. Understanding the underlying feelings will improve your life. From “I’m just not good enough” to “There are things I can do.” This change will attract more positive Ki and open the door to a new life.

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.
