Healing Light Class
2023-10-22 14:00 - 15:30
About this Event
The Healing Light Class is a wonderful opportunity for you to learn about a simple yet profound healing art—Jyorei—which helps us become healthier and happier by shining Divine Light within us. Mokichi Okada, the creator of Jyorei, officially began his healing work, applying Jyorei in its earliest form in 1934. He viewed spiritual/physical impurities in our bodies as the cause of various forms of suffering, and developed Jyorei as a healing method to dissolve those impurities. Currently, over a couple of million people around the world are practicing Jyorei, and are experiencing remarkable benefits from it.
At this class you can learn about Jyorei, and become a Jyorei practitonar by taking additional classes if you would like to.
Jyorei is a shared act involving two people, one who gives and one who receives. No physical contact occurs , therefore we observe social distancing. Besides profound healing, the person receiving Jyorei may experience a sensation of tranquility and well-being. The nature of Jyorei is such that its blessings are even greater for the giver. Not only does the giver benefit by Jyorei, but he or she also gains a larger capacity for compassion and love for others by sharing these benefits with close relatives, friends, and neighbours.
Jyorei can be given at any place and to anyone. All who wish to experience Jyorei are welcome at our Shumei Centre in Camden, London.
