Jyorei
Jyorei, 浄霊, is a spiritual practice based on the focusing of Ki, universal life energy, also referred to as "divine" or spiritual light (Daikomyo), which is the gift of Miroku Omikami (God). This meditative action fosters positive changes to both the physical and the spiritual body and that it helps to eliminate suffering by dispelling negative energy. Jyorei has its roots in Japanese spirituality and is gaining recognition in the West. Jyorei can be transmitted through the hand of the giver to the spiritual body of the receiver with the intent of purifying the spirit; this purification reflects to other levels of consciousness and often to the physical body. Receivers often find that over time they experience spiritual growth, physical healing, etc. There is no physical contact involved while administering Jyorei. Jyorei is a practical way of raising one’s spiritual consciousness as a means to make this an ultimate world of health, peace and prosperity for all. One is not required to drop membership in their religion or spiritual practices in order to learn Jyorei. However, it requires an initiation during which you receive an "amulet" called an Ohikari, inscribed with the divine kanji.
Mokichi Okada
Jyorei was first popularized by the esteemed spiritual philosopher Mokichi Okada (1882-1955), known by the honorific name "Meishusama", meaning "Master of Light". Meishusama was born to a poor Buddhist family in Asakus, Tokyo and, after many trials and tribulations, eventually made his fortune in the jewelry business. His success did not last, however.
After losing his wife, children and then business following an economic downturn and the Great Kanto Earthquake, he started to question the pursuit of material success. He remarried and went on to have further children but was determined to find the spiritual answers he sought. In 1926 at the age of 45, Meishusama achieved enlightenment and with it, a special revelation about the dawn of the Age of Light and made it his mission to save those who were suffering.
