Normal Purification 


     One point that Johrei practitioners should particularly keep in mind is that what I refer to as “normal purification” will occur when administering Johrei. Let us take the example of Johrei administered for a pain in the right arm. After the pain has gone away with the administration of Johrei to the right arm, pain may appear in the left arm. It may be thought that the pain has shifted from the right to the left arm, but this pain is only normal purification. If there are also toxins in the left arm, purification is naturally generated to equalize the more purified condition in the right arm. This process occurs, of course, not only with the arms, and whether in the abdomen or the back, pain does not move. The pain is normal purification resulting for the reason outlined above.
     There is another aspect regarding normal purification to watch for. Say Johrei is administered to a patient with a cough and the cough only worsens during Johrei. In this situation, the Johrei is misdirected. The coughing continues because there are toxins in several places. The more Johrei is administered to only one spot, the more normal purification is generated in other places, so coughing increases. Once practitioners realize the misdirection, they can look for the other affected places. Once these places are identified and Johrei administered, the sooner the coughing will decrease.
     There is one exception to the law of normal purification, though, and that exception is limited to certain cases of pain that may occur in the abdomen region. The spirits of snakes cause this kind of pain in one place in the abdomen area. When Johrei is administered to that one place, the snake will dodge the Johrei, so if the practitioner follows the snake spirit around with Johrei, the pain will gradually decrease to nothing. If, after one or two days, the pain returns, administration of Johrei as described above should be repeated. The pain will decrease and the patient, completely healed.
     Normal purification is part of the healing process and is distinctive of Johrei. Normal purification does not occur, indeed is impossible, with other healing treatments because these therapies do not have the power to truly heal.
