Johrei
Johrei, (Joh: to puirify; rei: spirit of life) is a channeling of divine energy through the outstretched hand with the intention of raising spiritual consciousness, and purifying our physical, mental, and emotional sates. I experience a distinction between this and Reiki, not only because it is done seated in chairs about 5 feet apart, but that because in Johrei the practitioner never touches the client, as in Reiki. I experience an easing of dis-harmonies in the mental and spiritual bodies surrounding the physical body, and eventually a heavenly relaxation throughout my body and being. When done before a table session, the rest of the work is almost magical. Dr. Andrew Weil, M.D., who wrote the book "Spontaneous Healing," is a Johrei trainer and practitioner. The U.S National Institute of Health is researching the consistent results people get from Johrei. T-4 cells, which have a very important role in immune function, show a marked increase in medical tests. Data from brain wave tests show that the dominant brain waves for both practitioner and client are deep Alpha waves of relaxation, and then theta waves which appear in deep meditation. Beta-endorphins are increased within the brain to soothe pain and stress. Increased NK cell activity against cancer has also been shown. In Britain, for example, "Spiritual Healing" is practiced as a complimentary method in ordinary hospitals, and is even covered by some medical insurance. Johrei sessions take about 30 minutes.

The Johrei movement was founded in 1935 by the Japanese visionary Mokichi Okada and is now practiced by over 4 million people worldwide. My favorite story about Okada is that the day before the bomb was dropped on Hiroshima in World War 2, Meishu Sama went to address his 10,000 students there and implored them to go on a picnic in the mountains the next day... they did...
Johrei seeks to create heaven on earth through encouraging health, peace, and prosperity.
