The Healing Power of Hado

By Toyoko Matsuzaki and Natsumi Blackwell

According to ancient Chinese medicine and philosophy, everything releases energy, or chi. In the Japanese spiritual community, hado is a similar life-force energy that encompasses healing properties and transformative powers. Literally translated, it means wave motion or vibration. Once we become aware of it in our everyday lives, hado can spark great changes in our physical space and emotional well being.

In The Healing Power of Hado, Toyoko Matsuzaki shares stories of her experiences as a hado master, demystifies hado energy, and explains how we can access this unique source of power. With clear explanations of the properties of hado, helpful lessons, and a handbook for forming practice groups, The Healing Power of Hado will help you discover your hado potential within.

Introduction

What exactly is hado? Have you ever entered a room full of people and sensed the mood, without anyone saying a word? Or felt calm and lighter after receiving a warm hug from a friend when your spirits were down? If so, you’ve experienced the effects of hado firsthand. Hado is the life force found in everything. You can harness this power to enrich your own life and improve the world around you.

In English, hado translates as wave motion or vibration. The word has existed in Japanese for centuries, but within the past few decades it has begun to be used in the context of philosophy, science, and quantum physics. (You may be familiar with the work of Dr. Masaru Emoto, a Japanese scientist who studies the remarkable effects of hado on water crystals.) Recently the definition of hado has expanded into the spiritual realm to express the healing properties and transformative power of this life-force energy.

Once you begin to study hado, the possibilities are endless. Beginners can receive messages from the hado released by other people, objects, and environments. At a more advanced level, practitioners of hado can change the essences of physical materials. (For example, they can make jewelry sparkle or change the taste of water.) Those who practice hado at the master level can heal physical ailments of their own and of others (hands-on or remotely), discover their clairvoyant abilities, and even receive messages from departed loved ones.

As you read this book, I will be your guide as you become familiar with the healing power of hado. We’ll begin with an introduction to the concept of hado, then move on to examples from my experience and those of my clients, and an explanation of how to tap into your own power. At the end of the book you’ll find lessons and tips for continued practice.

I have been a hado master for twenty-two years, helping clients such as business professionals, artists, musicians, physicians, lawyers, and kabuki (traditional Japanese theater) actors, among many others. I believe I was born with exceptional hado power, although I did not start to realize its full potential and study it until I was thirty-eight years old. Because using hado comes as naturally to me as breathing, it is difficult to explicitly illustrate how I do it. How do you teach another how to pray? So I offer my experience and tools to help you discover your own abilities within yourself. Though I try to be as specific and as clear as possible, you will find that your own way is unique. I encourage you to be creative, test your limits, and explore the paths on which the practice of hado takes you.

As a professional hado master, I am kept very busy with requests for healing from people all over Japan and Taiwan, and international demand for my work is growing. Because I am only human, I cannot reach everyone who seeks my help. My hope is that this book will be a stand-in for my personal services so that people can use hado power when I cannot be there for them physically. You can also look at my picture or visualize me to be connected to my hado. It doesn’t matter if I’m on the opposite side of the globe; my hado will come through to you to benefit you and your loved ones.

To help you understand how I came to be a hado master, I would like to tell you a little about my life. I grew up in Osaka, Japan, during the aftermath of World War II. Japan was still under U.S. occupation, and it was an era of chaos. From early on I felt that I possessed a kind of clairvoyant power. Of course I never imagined that I would be a hado master or write a book about hado, but I always had vivid pictures in my mind, such as driving a car by myself as an adult and visiting many places. People used to laugh at my wild imagination, because Japanese people were still very poor at that time, and only millionaires owned their own cars. I also had a strong sense that I would be alone.

When I was fifteen, I entered a choral contest and felt sure that I would win first prize. Again, people laughed at my wild imagination, but I got the first prize as I had predicted. The following year, everybody expected me to win again, but I knew that it was not going to happen. Again, I was correct.

As a teenager, I had strange dreams, but they were more than dreams; they felt like visions located between the real world and the dream world. In one vision, a beautiful angel with plumage stepped from a carriage that had descended from heaven and extended her hands to me. In awe, I touched her hand, hoping that she would take me to heaven; however, she just gave me a gentle smile and held my hand. The dream was so vivid, and even now I can still clearly remember everything in it, including the angel’s face and her beautiful plumage. (At that time I attended a high school called Plumage Private Academy.) When I had this dream the first time, I was young and didn’t think much about its meaning. But after having the same dream three times, I started to feel that it was a sign. I have come to believe that the angel in my dream was passing her hado power on to me by touching my hands.

Shortly after having these dreams, I decided to study vocal music seriously. At the time, there was an opera singer who had a beautiful voice, and I wanted to be like her. I think my dreams about the angel also gave me the extra boost in self-confidence that I needed to study vocal music. While applying to one of the most prestigious music colleges in Tokyo, I had a strong feeling that I would pass the entrance examination with a high score. I called my parents and said in a loud voice, I think I will make the top score! I still remember that one of the teachers overheard me. How young and sassy I must have sounded! But just as I had imagined, I passed the examination with the top score.

After graduating from college, I totally devoted myself to music as a professional singer. I became a member of one of the largest opera companies in Japan and appeared on many stages. I really loved singing and lived my life to the fullest. I realize now that this part of my background was crucial to the hado power I would discover later in my life. Hado and sound are very similar because both consist of unseen wave motion, or vibrations, and you have to nurture your sensitivity to wave motion to be a singer or a hado master. I also studied how to use my body to produce good sound; for example, I learned which part of the body to aim at when singing in front of an audience. I learned how to breathe, to circulate the oxygen in my body from head to toe. (Not only did this help my singing but it also improved my posture and contributed to my good health.) This training gave me a firm foundation when I later began to develop my hado power.

As I grew older, my clairvoyant inklings continued to be a force in my life. Before giving birth to my son, Takaori, I went for a regular checkup at a clinic where my family had connections. I felt uneasy about the clinic and checked my medical chart in private. To my surprise, it listed the wrong blood type for me. I decided to go to another hospital without consulting anyone. When I started having contractions, I asked a nurse if this hospital was capable of performing C-sections. The nurse said yes.

My labor was terribly long and painful. I told a nurse that I wanted to give up, but she said that I couldn’t stop until I delivered my baby. As labor progressed to forty-eight hours, the heartbeat of my unborn baby became weak. The doctors finally decided to do a C-section, and I was finally able to hold my son. It was fortunate that I had changed hospitals, for the doctors at
