About Us - gokai

WHAT IS GOKAI?

Gokai refers to the 5 principles of mindful living according to the tenets of Usui Reiki, a Japanese energy healing technique popularized by Mikao Usui Sensei.

Usui Sensei created these 5 principles to help people ‘self-cultivate’, and live better.

Just for today:

Recognize and release angry feelings
Recognize and let go of worry
Practice gratitude

Recognize your own consciousness
Practice kindness

Switching to organic food is among the first and most important steps to a better lifestyle and better health.

Gokai is a name that we feel resonates with what we intend to achieve, through our organic food initiative.

The food we eat makes us, and also influences are thoughts and actions. So it is important that our food is sourced from the best places, grown gently with positive feelings, harvested mindfully, and delivered to us with care.

When we’re feeling good within, we’re more likely to project more goodness, kindness, gratitude, forgiveness, and calmness unto the world outside.

The founding team at Gokai consciously inculcates these principles in our day to day life and dealings.

Gokai is a journey towards conscious living, mindfulness, and kindness towards Mother Earth, its abundant resources, and humanity.

It is our intent to introduce and make available, a large variety of organic, healthy agri-products that will make great additions to your kitchen shelves, and are likely to become staples in your home.

Because we wish to reach out to conscious clean eaters across the world, we’re working towards wiping away boundaries and offering international shipping, soon.

Know Where Your Food Comes From

Where your food is grown and harvested, will tell you a lot about what it will do for your body. Food that is grown in places that it is native to, tends to be easier to cultivate. This means, that farmers find the process of tending to their crops relatively effortless. When the farmers that grow your food are at ease, relaxed, and happy, your food naturally soaks in better vibes and turns out to be healthier for you.

In the interest of farmers’ wellbeing, we do our best to source agricultural produce directly from farmers. This ensures that farmers earn fair, healthy margins for their produce.

It may take some time for us to introduce a large variety of products, because we are deliberately taking things slow, in order to ensure fair trade practices and product goodness.

The Gokai Promise

When you purchase from Gokai, you can rest assured in the knowledge that you will receive the very best, 100% organic, non-GMO agricultural produce in its purest form. Our quality check processes are stringent, and we pay painstaking attention to the minutest of details.

We ensure that fair margins are paid to farmers, in order to uplift their standard of living and enable them to provide better for their families, in terms of education, healthcare, and quality of life.

It is our endeavour to always help you make an informed purchase; in this spirit, our product pages will always be elaborate, and our blogs frequent and informative.

In the coming months, apart from adding new products to our catalogue, we will also be introducing workshops on holistic wellness, sustainable practices, ecological awareness, nutrition, and various other similar topics.

Benefits of Introducing Organic Food to Your Daily Diet

When you introduce organic food to your daily diet, you’re providing chemical-free, pesticide-free food to your body, thereby improving your gut health. A healthy gut means you can enjoy better digestion, improved metabolism, easier weight management, increased energy levels, and a significant improvement in emotional and mental well-being.

Apart from making your own body healthier, you’re also facilitating environmental preservation by choosing to eat organic. Harmful pesticides and chemicals that are used in producing many different foods tend to pollute the soil in the area, nearby waterbodies, and even the air all around. These chemicals cause irreversible damage to marine life, farm animals, birds, bees, and insects. As most of these creatures are agents of pollination, when their population density goes down, growing healthy crops actually becomes difficult.

Milk producing animals are often fed antibiotics, growth hormones, and agricultural produce that is laced with harmful chemicals. Not only is this detrimental to the health of farm animals, the milk they produce in turn also ends up being laced with these harmful chemicals, hormones, and antibiotics.

By choosing to eat organic, you’re safeguarding yourself and your loved ones from the ill-effects of unethically sourced food. You’re also encouraging farmers to take better care of their animals and feed them the very best food.
