In the Level I class, the lead instructor of the U.S. Foundation, Nicola Bertolo, performs a beautifully designed ceremony to activate one's Life Force, or SEIMEI.  The ceremony has some Buddhist overtones to it and is performed in Japanese by Nicola because she studied with Hiraki and lived in Japan for many years; he designated her as the lead U.S. instructor.

In the United States, the SEIMEI Foundation is dedicated to educating people about this part of themselves and is a 501c3 Foundation.  The only part of the class that is in Japanese is the opening ceremony. Because students are receiving the gift of SEIMEI, the ceremony takes time to honor the founders and current practitioners.

As previously discussed, the Level I curriculum focuses on giving individuals an immediate tool for life: removing one point of pain from family, friends or pets, changing the taste of juice, and responding to an emergency.

The Level II curriculum focuses on identifying which part of the body is affected by injury or a health condition. Students learn how to quickly scan the body to identify the organ under stress, and then work within the systems of the body to increase health, take away pain and stress, and improve conditions over time.

SEIMEI is reciprocal in nature, so students increase their own health and well-being when they use their SEIMEI at whatever level they chose to participate.

Advanced Study
Many people fall in love with the study of their own SEIMEI and marvel at the capabilities they inherently possess. Advanced study includes a trip to Japan to increase the power (Kibetsu) in the hands. The upper classes focus on discernment, working long distance, and problem-solving.  The Foundation is a volunteer, community-based organization, and all students have an opportunity for leadership.

Benefits of Membership We want members to use their SEIMEI to enhance their lives and the lives of those around them by utilizing their life force. SEIMEI does not replace any religious or spiritual practice, but rather, gives students methods and techniques for life and life’s challenges. SEIMEI enhances one’s life.Some of the uses of SEIMEI will astound the incoming student. Some of the benefits of SEIMEI include, but are not limited to: 1. Belonging to a vibrant community that is constantly discovering new ways to make SEIMEI more useful in everyday life and receiving support from the community. 2. Receiving a mentor to help students learn new ways to use their SEIMEI. 3. Receive discounted full body sessions to relieve or work on a chronic health condition. 4. Participate as a member in a special weekly clinic where sessions are very effective. (Jissen Kai) 5. Travel to Japan and experience SEIMEI in its country of origin and be worked on by the top practitioners in the world. 6. Contribute to the planet in new and innovative ways. 7.

How Does SEIMEI Work? One of the most attractive aspects of SEIMEI is that you can ask questions and get them answered. This is a benefit of interacting with a lead instructor who is accessible. One of the most common questions is, “Wow. How does it work?” We’re happy to share the answer: In SEIMEI terms, there are three parts to a human being — The Mind, the Physical World and the SEIMEI World The mind, is a function, and abides by no laws. (You have individual freedoms. If you abuse them, there may be consequences, but you still have the freedoms. You use your mind to make decisions about those freedoms and decide, with the mind, on your actions.) The physical body must abide by three laws: time, space and mass/energy. (For example, if you bend your elbow a certain way, it will break) The SEIMEI World has seven laws. The first three, which are studied in detail in Level I, are: SEIMEI is not restricted to Time, Space or Mass. The other laws are studied in the next two classes. SEIMEI works because it is not confined to the laws of time, space or mass. Because SEIMEI is our vital Life Force, anyone can do it. SEIMEI students pick nothing up from anyone else when using their SEIMEI, but rather, keep themselves “in motion,” thereby creating space for endless possibilities and healing in their lives. “I feel like I’m tapped into my infinite intelligence,” one mother said. “It’s like having a Swiss Army Knife for life.”
