Recently I have been having the pain in my left ear. The pain is not severe that I need to go to the ER. I know it is the reaction from the homeopathy remedies that I have been taking.

The pain reminded me of my junior high school days. These three years were one of my toughest years in my life. I don’t like these three years. I was a member of the swimming club. We often went to the big swimming pool for the competition. The big swimming pool had two pools. One is for the competition and the other is for the diving. While we were waiting for our turn, we could practice swimming in the diving pool. The diving pool had a 5 meter depth. My friends and I used to dive to the bottom of the pool, touched the bottom, and came back to the surface. It was like an endurance contest or to show off our bravery. As the consequence from this silly contest, all of us got the ear infection.

I appreciate the homeopathy remedies to have brought back this memory through the ear pain. I talked to my ears and apologized for torturing them at that time. Then, my pain in the ear was gone.     

Today’s dream: I was at our home site in Navajoland. I had my own horse and enjoyed riding a bareback horse. It was not just a dream. I felt so real with the touch of the horse’s warm body. I felt the wind and speed. It was amazing. After the horseback riding I entered to my house. My family had some dogs and one of the gods were mine. It was a Golden retriever. I don’t remember if it was male or female.

In the morning my friend brought a box full of Thanksgiving give away foods. I appreciate her for thinking of us. Since I didn’t have enough room to keep the frozen turkey in the freezer, I cooked the turkey today. We celebrated early Thanksgiving Day.

Today’s dream: My family and I were in the middle of moving. We were busy packing our items and furniture into a huge moving truck. We had several helpers who are our family friends. On the next scene, we safely arrived at our home site and unloaded from the truck. My husband’s niece was there waiting for us. She was smiling and holing a puppy in her arms. Then I woke up. I thought the puppy might have represented her newborn baby.

In the afternoon my family helped me to dye my hair with henna. As usual I grabbed some herbs from the backyard and mixed with the henna mixture. It turned out good. I am satisfied with the result.

In the evening at 6:30 p.m., I had an interview for the homeopathy class. I applied for the online course to become a family homeopath. The course starts from June of next year. They wanted to have an interview to judge to accept my application or not. The interviewer was a Japanese man who is probably late in 60s. He asked me some questions such as how I have known about homeopathy, how I have used it, and why I want to learn and become a professional homeopath. I really like the founder of this homeopathy school. I am excited about learning from her next year.

In the morning the maintenance person came to our house and switched from cooler to heater. I personally want to keep the cooler all year around. I still enjoyed having the cooler even yesterday even in the middle of November. But sadly, we have to switch it to prevent the water in the cooler unit from freezing. Thank you to the cooler for making our summer days comfortable and we will see you again next year. I will need to switch the summer clothes to the winter clothes.

I noticed the gas price has been rising up. In our area, last year it was less than $3 but today it was $3.49 per gallon. The news says the gas price might be raised up to twice as much as that of last year. I hope it will go back to the normal price soon.

My husband and I finished the insurance enrollment procedure for the next year. My daughter’s baby teeth are all gone, so hopefully she can start wearing braces next year.

I attended the Reiki share gathering for American people at 5 p.m. There were 41 attendees. It is always good to see the regular members and some new members. We had 10 people who wanted to have the distance Reiki.

At the latter part of the gathering, the Reiki teacher answered the questions from the members.

Q1) How does Reiki energy work?

A1) Nobody can exactly answer this question, but the important thing is trust and wait. The energy is always with us and we actually already know what it is deep inside of us. In order for the Reiki energy to flow, we just surrender, feel the energy, without thinking.

Q2) What is the Kanji for Chokurei?

A2) This mantra was invented by somebody of Western Reiki. The Reiki teacher personally asked about this mantra to Phyllis-san who is a daughter of Hawayo Takata sensei, but she also didn’t know anything about it. The Reiki teacher said mantras are to feel the vibrations, so that as long as the person says the mantra from their sincere heart, it works perfectly for the person. I agree with the teacher. I thought it was a good way to explain.

Toward the ending of the gathering, the teacher again reminded us “諸行無常.” He reminded us to know everything is impermanent. I want to change his sentence to “everything is evolving.” I believe everything is changing its shape or condition so as to go forward to a better direction. The teacher also reminded us that non-attachment is a short cut to Satori. When we let our concerns and worries go, we are not attached to anything, so we can lift up our vibration.

In today’s meditation, the message I received was like this.

Stop worrying about the current situation too much. You are doing well on your part. Remember that you are not the only one who has been fighting in this situation. Even though I haven’t met all of them but there are many souls like me who has been protecting the Earth on their ways. They are everywhere in the world. Believe in your like-minded souls. Believe in that we are strong. Believe in that this time we will do better than before. We, the light force, will win this time. So, stay being strong and positive. Don’t let any negative energy bother you.

I started chanting Katakamuna along with Hannya Shingyo. It was my routine after my mom passed away for three months. I thought I should resume the routine. Saying the mantras out loud makes me feel refreshed and relaxed.

Our prayer was heard. My husband’s company finally put his work shift from the midnight to day time. We are so glad for the news. It will be definitely beneficial for his health. Thank you to my husband’s two supervisors who made efforts for putting my husband back to the day time shift. And as always thank you to my family spirits and my husband’s family spirits.

This change is beneficial for me too. I wake up much earlier than before to prepare his hot tea, ほうじ茶. He brings a thermos that was given from his late dad. I feel my late dad-in-law is happy about it too.
