Jyorei is a healing art that uses divine light to dissolve the spiritual impurities that are the source of all physical, emotional, and personal problems. Sometimes described as a “healing prayer,” the word “Jyorei” literally means “purification of the spirit.” Developed by Shumei’s founder, Mokichi Okada, in the 1930s, Jyorei’s technique as practiced by Shumei members today took its final form in 1947 a few years before Mokichi Okada’s passing.
