For
those who seek spiritual growth, or who seek a better
ability to provide healing, we offer a comprehensive
program which consists of three major steps: The first
is to kick off your spiritual journey by learning the
basic energy healing skills. The second is to release
your core issues and resistance by using more advanced
healing techniques, which are actually beyond “techniques.”
The third is to transcend “I” by becoming
the Infinite Consciousness.

I . Our Program: Three Steps for Enlightenment
Module I: Reiki/Karuna
Reiki
Learning Reiki and Karuna Reiki is a good first step
because it instantly opens up your awareness to the
extent that you realize the existence of something greater
than you. You will be connected with the life force
in and around you, and become capable to transfer the
energy to yourself and someone else. You will experience
the life force, in a tangible manner. We have redesigned
Reiki classes carefully adding some elements from the
Module II, so that you could step up smoothly. At our
Reiki classes, you can learn the pure forms of Reiki
as well as preparatory steps to go beyond Reiki. If
you desire enlightenment, this will be a good start.
Main Objectives of Module I
• To get connected with the life force energy
• To be aware that you are an energetic being
• To be aware that you are in the process of spiritual
evolution
For further information of Module I, click
here for Reiki, click
here for Karuna Reiki.
Module II: Intuitive
Counseling/Spiritual Healing
At this stage, you will deepen the internal exploration.
You will face and deal with your core fears such as
a fear of loneliness, a fear of death, a fear of rejection,
a fear of the unknown, so on and so forth. These are
crucial blocks to be released for your evolution. To
release them, you will learn the advanced healing skills,
which will be focused on the transformational energy
rather than the healing energy like Reiki. What you
will learn is not actually a “skill”. You
will simply open yourself up to allow the Light of God
to flow into you.
Main Objectives of Module II
• To get connected with the Infinite Consciousness
• To get connected with your spiritual guides
and masters
• To release your core issues, fears, and karma.
• To turn the orientation of your awareness from
outward to inward and realize that everything is internal

Module III: Infinite
Consciousness Seminar
At this stage, the true self, which is nothing and empty,
will be shown to you. Through meditations and the combination
of traditional practice (Zen and Yoga) with energy healing,
we will repeatedly put you into the Sacred Space, or
the flow of the Divine, to educate your ego; “that’s
the home to go back.” Your ego will merge into
the “home,” which is the basis of your being.
This process is formless and automatic. What you will
do is to be with the Sacred Space, or to be in the flow
of the Divine. You will not need to do anything else.
This is to do nothing to become Nothing.
Main Objectives of Module III
• To “become” the Infinite Consciousness
• To be in the flow of Divine
• To become Nothing
• To be comfortable with the unknown, paradox,
or the state that you cannot control
• To be comfortable with the space where there
is no “I.”

Please note that you need to take Module I to step
up to Module II. If you have already taken Reiki or
Karuna Reiki taught by someone else, please consult
Masaru for the enrollment in Module II. You may need
to take his Reiki classes again, because of its uniqueness.
Module III is open for anybody. Module III is not for
learning techniques, it is beyond techniques. Even if
your conscious level is not high enough to fully experience
the oneness with the Divine, you will somehow taste
it. If you have been dedicated to your spiritual growth
for decades, the Module III will help you to integrate
the blissful state into yourself. Wherever your conscious
level might be, you will simply experience the Module
III differently accordingly to your level. Again, Module
III is open for anyone.
II. Supporting Programs
In addition to the main program mentioned in the above,
we will prepare supplemental opportunities for you.
A. Special Event/Lawrence Lanoff
B. Self-Exploration Open Forum
C. Private Session
A. Special Event/Lawrence
Lanoff
We will periodically invite Lawrence Lanoff, a mentor
of Masaru, from Sedona, Arizona to have his workshop
for sharing his great spiritual insights. Lawrence is
always in the altered or meditative state of consciousness,
yet simultaneously retaining the functionality of talking,
joking, driving, eating, etc. You will be amazed to
see the balance between spirituality and functionality
in him. He is an expert of mythologies: a series of
misunderstood stories that are binding your life. He
will cognitively and energetically shatter the illusions
you hold on to. His energetic support will be intense,
by calling in the Light of Prophets, which is, perhaps,
on the highest vibration available for a human, and
by utilizing the group energy. Masaru has been greatly
inspired by the Lawrence approach. It smashes your illusions
from deep inside of you by utilizing anything available
at the moment, and by facilitating the process of transformation
by becoming the process, not controlling the process
from the outside.
Currently, his workshop in Chicago in 2009, hosted
by Masaru, is undecided. If you are interested, please
e-mail Masaru at info@atmanwellbeing.com.
As decided, you will receive the notice.
B. Self-Exploration Open
Forum
This free meeting, which will be frequently held over
the year, helps you to heighten and maintain your energy
frequency. We will have a short discussion of spiritual
topics such as: love, forgiveness, surrender, soul,
etc. Then, Masaru will lead a short meditation, calling
in a transformational energy to open up your energy
system. This will be a nice opportunity to taste what
Masaru is offering in his program. This will be nice
to keep your energy vibration, if you are in the midst
of a learning process of some energy healing techniques.
This will be nice for anyone who is interested in the
Spirit. This is open for anyone.

Forum, click
here.
C. Private Session
What you need for your spiritual growth is unique.
What works for somebody does not necessarily work for
you. The mental and emotional blocks you hold are very
unique as well. Therefore, you need a private and tailor-made
support. Masaru will tap in your specific issue(s) and
help to release it as effectively as possible. You can
have a session with him either in person or over the
phone.

IV. How does “energy healing” correspond
to “enlightenment”?
Enlightenment is the state of being fully connected,
without any resistance, with the unified field of consciousness
(what many call God or Divine) which is filled with
the infinite potentiality for the creation. As your
awareness expands, you will realize that your being
is saturated in the ocean of potentiality, and it is
always there as an accessible resource for you. When
you are open to it, the power to heal naturally flows
into you. Then, you could utilize it. Therefore, it
could be said that the capability to provide healing
is a by-product of your awakening process.
Enlightenment is the goal, and the healing force is
a by-product. This is, however, not to say you could
neglect the by-product. The energy healing comes in
handy to shift your consciousness. What blocks you from
a fully enlightened awareness is an energetic reality.
The block is the rigid force within you, attaching you
to your judgments of how things should be; your emotions
like fear and anger, and your perceptions of what is
going to happen, all of which are unreal. An energetic
tool, which could directly approach your rigidity at
an unconscious level, is useful to loosen it. It opens
up your space to the field of potentiality. This is
why we incorporate the energy healing practice into
the awakening process.
V. Cognitive Orientation Error/Externality
vs. Internality
Enlightenment is a totally internal process; thereby
nothing external can bring it to you. The energy healing
will just be useful as a tool, but will never be a sufficient
condition for your spiritual evolution. Many students
of energy healing overlook this point and fall into
the cognitive orientation error of externality versus
internality. Since their energetic capability was opened
up at first, by the energy transfer from their teachers
(called attunement or initiation), they tend to misunderstand
that the source of healing energy resides outside of
them. Then, they begin and continue the external exploration,
visiting healing teachers one after another, and learning
modalities one after another, in order to gain higher
capability and higher awareness. They wish to find out,
some day, an absolutely powerful tool or teacher that
brings them to a leap of their consciousness. They will
never find it as long as they are looking outside.
You do not need to travel “outside,” but
you need to travel deeply “inside” of you.
It is because, what you are looking for is already within
you. Enlightenment is not a destination. Enlightenment
is an ongoing process of realizing that you are one
with the Infinite Consciousness (ultimately, realizing
that you are the Infinity itself). It is already there
within you. You always retain the source of Divine energy
for healing within you. You are already an enlightened
being.
Another reason why you need to search inside yourself
is that what hinders your spiritual evolution is nothing
outside but yourself. What drags you down is you. What
puts you in a lower vibration is you. You are blocking
yourself; nothing or no one out there does not impede
your growth. You are retaining the rigid forces within
you, which hold you in the creations of your mind. The
mind creations are thoughts, ideas, images, emotions,
concepts, and so on and so forth, all of which are not
true. You are unconsciously and repeatedly creating
the mental glue putting you in a miserable mental or
emotional state that is filled with anger, frustration,
loneliness, sadness or pain. Until you will let go of
that mental rigidity in you, the conscious leap will
not take place.
If you believe there must be a spiritual “path”
or a certain “way” out there, which perfectly
matches your needs and takes you to the highest state
of consciousness, and if you believe you are not awakened
simply because you have not found such a “path,”
you are completely off the mark. Describing it in an
analogy, you are drowning in the ocean by holding the
heavy weights of giant rocks, and asking external help,
asking someone to pull you out from the ocean. The external
rescue will not work until you let go of the weights
that sink you. It’s not the fault of the helpers
outside; it’s your fault.
Since enlightenment is an internal process, it follows
that you cannot force enlightenment to happen. What
you could do is simply to allow it to happen. Like you
cannot intentionally control the growth of your body,
and the growth of any other living beings: when a seed
germinates, how tall a plant grows, when a flower blossoms,
how many fruits a tree bears, etc, you cannot control
your internal growth. Unfortunately, many spiritual
seekers overlook this point, and they keep striving
for a quick fix. They are eager to reach the peak as
soon as possible. Ironically, the faster they try to
reach enlightenment, the slower their evolution becomes.
Your spiritual voyage should be directed to your inner
space, not outer space. From the above analogy of a
drowning person who holds rocks, you need to observe
what kind of rocks (e.g., karmic pattern of self-sabotage)
you are holding on to, and what causes you to hold on
to it. When you look inward deeply enough and successfully
release the rocks, you will gain the floating force.
You will naturally and automatically receive it, as
a gift of the Divine, and you will enjoy resting on
the surface of the ocean. That peaceful moment is enlightenment.
VI. Assisting Your Internal Journey
What you need to deal with is deeply buried within
you. Therefore, you need to turn inward. However, the
internal journey is inherently difficult for many reasons.
First, to turn your attention internally, in itself,
is a difficult task. It is because you assume that you
passively interpret the outer reality. You assume that
the outer reality exists prior to your experience of
it. Thus, when you feel bad, you believe there is something
outside to blame. When you see some hardship in your
life, you believe it is attacking you from outside.
You could hardly realize that the pains attacking you
are projections of your inner mind. It is difficult,
at first, to realize the need to go inward. Second,
even if you could realize the need to turn inward, you
need to tap into your subconscious or unconscious spheres.
It is obviously hard to reach. Third, at that place
deep within, you will encounter the core fears or issues
you have concealed and repressed. Nobody wants to see
and feel it. Fourth, the inward journey will eventually
make you realize that everything is internal. The external
world is a reflection of your inner consciousness. What
you perceive as outside of you is actually inside of
you. The world is in you. Both heaven and hell are in
you. You are responsible for everything, both positively
and negatively, happening to you. This is hard to believe
and a very heavy responsibility to shoulder. Fifth,
the internal mental rigidity that binds you with pains
and issues has been created and accumulated throughout
your life times, which is hundreds or thousands of years
old. You feel paralyzed, being wrapped up with this
complicated interwoven tapestry of energetic mess. Thus,
it is difficult to release it even if you could recognize
it.
We would like to stress that you need help, even though
external help will never be a sufficient condition to
bring you to the highest state of consciousness. What
assistance you choose will be crucial because of the
difficulties above mentioned. If you seek enlightenment
alone like a yogi sitting in the cave of the Himalayan
Mountain without contacting anyone, because you know
that enlightenment is an internal process, your journey
is likely to fail. As mentioned in the above, you will
encounter the core fears that your conscious mind or
ego cannot bear. If you fight with it alone, you will
simply escape from it, conceal it, or deny it. You need
someone to secure the safety to deal with the core fears.
The followings are, we believe, some vital qualities
to help your internal journey in our program. The first
is to create the Sacred Space, which is filled with
the Divine love, around you as a safety net, when you
are frightened with intense fear. This is crucial as
we discussed in the above paragraph. The Sacred Space
embraces you like a baby in the mother’s arms.
It gives you the feeling that you are protected, thereby
giving you the confidence to face the fear.
Further significance of this Sacred Space is to help
you to surrender and release resistance or rigidity
around everything. You are holding onto your illusory
perceptions, because you misunderstood you are safer
by doing so. To go over this misunderstanding, the genuine
safety, provided by the Divine, should be shown to you
to replace the false safety in your mind. You will firmly
acknowledge the genuine safety when you are saturated
in the Sacred Space, which is infinite peace, quiet,
and tranquility.
The second is to incorporate energy healing techniques
as a tool to shift your consciousness, but not as a
goal in itself. If you adhere to or worship a certain
healing system, it will bind your life and become a
source of blocks. Even if you are seriously dedicated
to learning energy healing and/or have been constantly
receiving it for many years, you are unlikely to reach
enlightenment. It is as if your dedication to sharpening
a kitchen knife will not necessarily make you a good
chef. A good tool is just a good help. We will repeatedly
emphasize it throughout our program that the energy
healing will be a help; no more, no less. By realizing
the nature of energy healing as a tool, it will discourage
you to explore the outer reality for the absolute answer,
and encourage you to explore the inner reality.
The third is to challenge you to beat your cognitive
orientation error, externality versus internality. Through
discussions and meditations, we will let you realize;
what you believe outside is actually inside. Thereby,
what you believe real is actually unreal. To take but
one example, when your mom says to you, “You should
marry an honest man and bear a child by the age of 25,”
you perceive a sensation of obligation somewhere in
your body. This sensation actually emerges from the
within as an energetic reality. However, you mistake
this sensation for external reality, as if your mom
actually places a physical weight on you. Your mom becomes
your enemy. Your experience of the burden is a hallucination
– an illusion, due to the error in your head.
We will point out each error you make one by one. You
will eventually realize nothing external threatens you.
The fourth is to provide you with appropriate meditations
at each stage of evolution. A meditation is extremely
important, because it is a tool to verge on your subconscious
or unconscious fields. A crucially important aspect
is that the format of meditation should be shifted,
as you spiritually evolve. An ordinal visualization,
like visiting a mystic temple in the jungle to see your
spiritual guide and to gain his insights, works well,
when you are beginning the spiritual journey. However,
it will not help you at the more advanced level, because
that visualization confuses you, as if the wisdom exists
outside of you. We will carefully provide you with a
meditation which will help you tap deeply within yourself.
VII. Strength of Our Program/How Masaru will
help you
With the above points in mind, Masaru has created the
program of healing and enlightenment. It begins with
systematic learning of energy healing such as Reiki
and Karuna Reiki to take off on your spiritual journey.
It progresses to a deeper internal journey to face and
release the core fears. Then, it will reach a formless
process to connect you with the Infinite Consciousness.
You will experience twofold shifts. First, you will
gain the energetic shift. You will progress from a system
of healing to a formless healing, in which you do not
rely on any techniques. When you receive the massive
potentiality from the Divine, you will not need any
healing skills. Your presence will become the source
of healing. Second, you will gain the cognitive shift,
realizing that everything is internal.
The backbone of our program is sprung from the spiritual
gift Masaru has. Through his spiritual evolution for
years, he reached and gained, at around November 2006,
the non-dual awareness, where the infinite universe
extends within the finite forms of all beings. He has
sensed that the infinity coincides within the finite,
the Unmanifested within the Manifested. The Spirit superimposes
itself on the matter. Or better saying, the matter superimposes
itself on the Sprit. Since then, he has been able to
tap into the Infinite Consciousness and to assist others
to be connected with it.
This is the most prominent strength in what Masaru
offers to help you. He has a special talent to create
the Sacred Space around you, and to connect you with
it. As discussed already, within that safety, you will
gain the confidence to deal with your core fears. Not
many spiritual teachers can offer this type of energetic
help to that depth.
His connectedness with the Infinity offers another
benefit to you. What he is offering through his meditations
is more than simple visualization or repetition of positive
affirmations. He is going to put himself into a deep
meditated state so that he could sense your spiritual
needs. He will not read transcripts of meditations,
but will let your soul and his soul guide the meditation.
Through this process, you and he will be placed into
the Sacred Space, and together will be saturated in
the healing energy of the Divine. His meditation can
be said to be a collective healing rather than psychological
programming. By being connected with the Divine and
with your soul, he will find the best approach to deepen
your internal awareness.
He is aware of both merits and limitations of energy
healing for shifting your consciousness. This awareness
forms the most unique aspect of the program, by comparing
with other spiritual teachings available out there.
As your awareness expands, he will encourage you to
leave behind the healing techniques you mastered. It
enables you to be in the flow of the Divine. Any healing
systems filled with the assumptions of how the healing
should go will become crucial blocks for you to be connected
with the Divine, thus blocking your spiritual growth.
He will ask you to drop them, including what he teaches
at the introductory segments of his program.
This is not to say his introductory classes of energy
healing are meaningless. This is to say, your needs
will change as you evolve. The system of energy healing
works the best to initiate your spiritual journey. When
you accomplish it, you do no longer need it. Beyond
that point, you will need deeper help, which should
be formless and which the ordinary healing “system”
cannot provide. This is very unique because it encourages
you to disengage yourself from what you accomplish at
the beginning of your spiritual journey. However, it
is a necessary process.
The last, but not least, it should be stressed that
Masaru is an expert of conflicting duality, having been
brought up in the Buddhist culture that teaches: “You
are nothing.” He has also been trained in the
Western spiritual healing community that teaches: “You
are God.” These two teachings, seemingly in conflict,
are completely in harmony in his present awareness.
By tapping into the Infinity, he will help you to experience
Light in the Darkness, Significance in Insignificance,
and Beauty in the Void. Within the Infinity, everything
exists in peace and harmony. Where there is no good
or evil, you will have no judgments on yourself or on
others. That will give you tremendous freedom and joyfulness
in your life. He sincerely wants you to enjoy your life
by transcending the duality and regaining the wholeness
of your being.
