Our Challenge: Show and Tell

Because SEIMEI is “show and tell,” not “tell and show,” there are many applications of SEIMEI that exist, but don’t translate well in print because many aspects of SEIMEI are too complex to describe; this is hard for Americans to accept!  That's why we say SEIMEI is about "Doing" not "Telling."

SEIMEI is a unique and fun way to experience life in a different way. It is a results-based tool for humankind and has unlimited potential. Please contact the Foundation for the unique opportunity to awaken your SEIMEI and put it into action for yourself and those you care about.

The Power of SEIMEI

From SW Co-Coordinator, Alexandra Bakos:

Both my sons, aged 25 and 28 have taken the Level I SEIMEI class.

Nic, my 25 year old uses it as a coach. He gets regular requests from his kids to relieve the discomfort of a tweaked shoulder. (Seimei is not a substitute for sound medical care, however.) He uses it to keep himself healthy and his peers will call him when they have an emergency (headache or heartache.) He has been to study in Japan twice, and helps work our weekly community healing clinic."It's a great tool in all situations."

My other son has special needs. He uses Seimei to work on his food or his dog or other animals. A bird ran into our glass door and he Seimei'd it back to flying. It's a language he can really understand. We haven't been in the E.R. in a long while, because I work on him all the time. It's relief as close as my fingertips.

Last week, I cut my finger badly and called for my special needs son. He held his hands out in perfect basic form and the pain went away immediately, the bleeding lessened and I was able to get a bandage on it before going to the doctor.

Both boys feel SEIMEI gives them the edge in many ways. They practice it without thinking, and they always think of it first when solving problems for others-taking away pain, or figuring out whether to turn left or right to find a parking spot.  They both lead “SEIMEI first.”

No one would do SEIMEI if it didn’t produce the consistent result it does. There are many "Jyouka Stories" -thousands upon thousands. Jyouka means "Seimei in motion." When you use your Seimei, you create motion and this produces results.

Looking at these young boys using their SEIMEI at every opportunity makes me proud. They are some of the first kids in the U.S. to start a SEIMEI nation….where it’s the norm to utilize this part of ourselves first. Right now, there are small groups of individuals that use their SEIMEI. But very soon we’ll have large groups of nurses and teachers and moms and engineers blogging about how they use their SEIMEI.

We are here to help you discover, know, and enjoy the power of your SEIMEI. The Foundation membership is made up of people everywhere, with varied belief systems and occupations. We welcome you and will support you as you learn SEIMEI.

THE PRACTICE of SEIMEI

SEIMEI is our Vital Life Force and Life Force is in everyone and everything. Over the centuries, Life Force has been studied and named many things. The word SEIMEI translates as Life Force (but has many other meanings in Japanese.)

Because we are all connected through our vital Life Force, it’s easy to incorporate SEIMEI into one’s life after learning it.

As SEIMEI students, our SEIMEI, or Life Force, gets awakened, or activated, by the lead instructor, Nicola Bertolo. She awakens our SEIMEI by giving it motion. After it is awakened, we are no longer separate from our SEIMEI. When we use it, we keep our SEIMEI in motion (Jyouka). As a result of using our SEIMEI, we impact our performance, health, relationships, and our communities in a positive way. Students have an edge in solving problems and making change and this is demonstrated each and every day through thousands of SEIMEI "Jyouka" stories.

Because SEIMEI cannot be seen by the naked eye, once it is awakened, students continue to improve their skills by keeping current. This can be done in several ways: a) by visiting one of three teaching centers: Hawthorne or Basking Ridge, New Jersey, Santa Fe, New Mexico, or Saga, Japan b) by attending a special practice space weekly or monthly or by c) using our SEIMEI regularly.

SEIMEI requires utilization. After acquiring the skill, students practice it, just like tennis or golf. Students can flex their SEIMEI "muscle" by doing such activities as helping to relieve pain, changing the taste of juice, or working on a pet or flower garden.

SEIMEI offers advance practice:  traveling to Japan, chanting, enrolling in higher classes, participating in community or Foundation activities, offering leadership, or helping run community-based healing clinics. Many students visit Japan as often as possible for an immersion experience and to “tune up” their SEIMEI. Advanced students use their SEIMEI in everything they do.

In SEIMEI, students use their Life Force to affect change: a change in the nature of pain, a change in a situation, a change from stagnation to motion. Therefore, the word practice in SEIMEI is both a noun and a verb!
