Today I watched the recording of the first Dine Bizaad class presented by my Navajo friend last week. It was a pretty good class. One of the attendees asked a question on how to say “bless you” after somebody sneezes. The instructor answered Navajos don’t say anything to a person who has sneezed, because sneezing means somebody else is thinking of the person or talking about the person.
Interestingly we have the same way of thinking in Japan. When somebody sneezes, it is considered somebody is thinking of the person or talking about the person, but we don’t have a specific response to a person who just have sneezed.
I believe that the similarity between Japanese and Navajos lays in our spiritual awareness. Both of our antient ancestors have the high ability to telepathically communicate each other regardless of physical distance. When somebody talks about a specific person, or even just thinks of a person, the person could feel by the sense of etheric body. Because we are originally one soul, we, as the humans living in the modern age, we can still sense the feeling by sneezing.
