Jakikiri Joka Ho: How to Purify Spaces, Objects, and Energy with Reiki

Aug 20

If you’ve ever felt that your Reiki room needs an energetic “reset,” or that your crystals and tools are carrying energies that don’t belong to the present moment, Jakikiri Joka Ho is the technique you’ve been looking for. This traditional Reiki method allows you to cut negative energy, purify, and harmonise objects, spaces, and even your own energy, creating a clear and supportive environment for healing.

What Does Jakikiri Joka Ho Mean?

Jaki: negative energy accumulated in the body or objects.
Kiri: to cut.
Joka: cleansing.
Ho: technique.

Together, the technique involves removing negative energy, cutting long-held stagnant energy patterns, and purifying while pouring positive energy through Reiki with a clear and conscious intention.

When to Use This Technique

Jakikiri Joka Ho is particularly useful:

Before and after Reiki sessions to cleanse the room and tools.
To purify crystals, instruments, and healing tools.
When you sense dense or negative energies in a space.
As a regular energetic cleansing to maintain harmony and constant flow.

How to Perform Jakikiri Joka Ho

Preparation and breathing: Take a deep breath, holding the air while focusing on your tanden (the energy centre located in the abdomen). Breathing is crucial: holding it during the three strikes could attract the negative energy you are trying to transform.
Cutting movements: With your palm facing the object or space, make a fast, karate-style “strike” from inside to out, about three times. Keep a distance of 2–5 cm from the object. This movement cuts negative energies and transforms them into positive energy.
Release of energy: Exhale the held breath only after the third strike. This allows the negative energy to be released safely and the positive energy you are channelling to flow into the object or space.
Pouring Reiki: Once the physical-energetic purification is complete, channel Reiki with positive intention toward the object, crystal, or space. This harmonises it and fills it with healing energy, completing the cleansing and preparation.

Precautions and Tips

Never hold your breath during the three strikes; doing so may result in energetic contamination.
Avoid performing this technique while a client is on the Reiki table; manipulating negative energy could be uncomfortable.
Practice with patience and attention: the effect is subtle but powerful, and it requires clear and focused intention.

Jakikiri Joka Ho offers several important benefits for any Reiki practice. It purifies and harmonises tools and spaces, creating a clean and protective environment that supports effective healing. Eliminating accumulated negative energies, allows for a clearer and more fluid energy flow, enhancing the overall quality of your sessions. Additionally, this technique ensures that both practitioner and client can work in an energetically neutral and positive space, fostering a sense of calm, balance, and openness throughout the healing process.

In short, Jakikiri Joka Ho is not just a ritual; it’s a powerful way to prepare your practice and tools so that energy flows freely and clearly. Integrating this technique allows every Reiki session to become a purer, more conscious, and deeply harmonious experience.
