What is Johrei Healing?

By Phylameana lila Desy, About.com

Johrei Healing is only one aspect of the Johrei Fellowship, which is a spiritually principled organization. Johrei was introduced to America in 1953 by Mokichi Okada, and Johrei Fellowship centers exist throughout the United States.

Japanese Healing System

Johrei is a Japanese healing modality that uses focusing and scanning tools to dispel negativity and increase vitality. During a Johrei session the Johrei practitioner and client sit in chairs facing one another. The Johrei practitioner holds an opened palm toward the recipient while focusing and directing ki energies toward his or her client. Ki energies are directed at the recipient’s forehead, upper chest and abdomen for approximately ten minutes. Next, the client is asked to face the opposite direction, with his or her back to the Johrei practitioner. The practitioner focuses and directs ki energies toward the cleint's crown and back of head, then onto both shoulders and down the spine. Finally, the client is asked to return to his or her original sitting position so that the two individuals, practitioner and client, are once again facing each another. The practitioner and client join together and give a silent prayer of gratitude.

Positive results from this healing process include:

  • Increases spiritual quality.
  • Clears mental confusion.
  • Detoxifies physical body.
  • Accelerates healing process.

Seven Spiritual Principles of the Universe incorporated by the Johrei Fellowship are:

  1. Order
  2. Gratitude
  3. Purification
  4. Spiritual Affinity
  5. Cause and Effect
  6. Spiritual Precedes the Physical
  7. Oneness of the Spiritual and the Physical
