“Johrei,” said founder Mokichi Okada, “endeavors to raise the individual to a more enlightened state of consciousness. The invisible Light of God, focused through Johrei, reaches the inner soul and transforms it even when received with a skeptical attitude. It awakens our divine nature by bringing it into direct contact with the Light of the Spirit.”

Every Johrei member has a special focal point which is worn on a cord or chain around the neck. This sealed locket is worn inside the clothing and contains the calligraphy  for “Light.”

It serves to magnify the energy of Johrei, making it more available. In addition, every Johrei center contains a dedicated Scroll that emanates very high vibrations and acts as a focal point for that center. People do not worship the Scroll; rather, they worship before it. To align themselves with its vibration, givers bow to Spirit in front of the Scroll before giving Johrei. This also recognizes the Law of Order in Johrei: divine energy comes from God and the individual simply serves as a focus.
