Story
The origin of KOKOROMI
We sometimes
“Are there no gods or Buddhas in this world?”
There are times when we receive treatment that is so unreasonable that it seems to us, or that can even be called irrational.
Probably, in reality, God and Buddha do not exist because it has not been scientifically proven.
But don't you think that's too hopeless?
However, there is only one salvation.
It's "yourself".
You yourself are your only salvation.
No matter what situation you find yourself in, it is up to you to decide whether you are happy or unhappy.
The only way to go forward in life is to believe in your own power and potential.
Why not believe in the power and potential that you have as "God in your heart"?
Would you like to ask God for help in your heart?
Believe in God in your heart and give yourself peace in this turbulent life.
People are worried and suffering from anxiety, fear, and impatience in matters such as work or relationships with the opposite sex, and even if they want to talk to someone, they are unable to do so, or even if they want to lean on someone, they cannot find relief.
At the time, I was in such a situation, and by discovering that I could cling to God in my heart, I was given peace of mind, improved my thinking ability, and was freed from anxiety and fear. Now I can live a vibrant life.

Relationship between brain science and prayer
NEURO SCIENCE
Prayers and wishes can have a positive effect on the brain
There is a lot of research being done on the relationship between prayer and the brain.
A variety of studies have shown that prayer can affect brain function and structure.
For example, a study conducted at Harvard Medical School and New York University School of Medicine showed that meditation increases gray matter in the brain's hippocampus.
And research shows that increasing gray matter improves cognitive function.
Gray matter is made up of the bodies and axons of nerve cells in the brain and is involved in cognitive function and intellectual ability.
Specifically, when gray matter increases, the following effects are expected:
・Improvement of memory power
・Improvement of learning ability
・Improvement of decision-making ability
・Relief of stress and anxiety
You can change the neural circuits of your brain through prayers and wishes.
Research has shown that continuous prayer changes the connections between neurons and neural circuits in the brain, allowing us to develop more positive thinking patterns.
A study published in 2009 reported that praying improved the subjects' self-esteem and self-esteem.
*However, caution is required regarding the details and results of these studies, as there are various studies and results may vary. In addition, it is important to note that the effects vary depending on individual differences and situations, so it cannot be said that they are absolutely effective.
