Today’s dream: I was at Osaka station. I didn’t like being surrounded by many people at a station in the center of metropolitan city. I was at loss, didn’t know which train I should take. One man who was familiar with me run to me and grabbed my arm. He was putting a nice friendly smile on his face. He told me not to worry because he would take care of me from this point. He escorted me tot eh right train and we both came back to our local town. When we got out from the train, he invited me to his house. I didn’t know his house was very close to the station. His house was nicely organized and clean. He told me to feel at home. I felt safe with him at his house. We both smiled at each other. Then I woke up feeling comfortable.

In the morning I was invited to the community garden produce distribution. Today I received onions, green beans, okras, zucchinis, carrots, yellow squash, tomatoes, and beets. I made a homemade salsa with onions, carrots, and tomatoes. It turned out really good. One downside about the fresh produces came directly from a garden is the bugs. Even though I washed them thoroughly, I noticed a tiny worm crawling on my arm, which made me screamed. Other than that, everything tasted and smelled fresh and provided us high vibration.  

I heard a sad news about our local area. On Tuesday night at the restaurant parking lot in our next city, two young people were killed by gun shots. The girl was 21 years old and the boy was probably around the same age as the girl.

I don’t know and don’t want to know the detailed story. I just want to send good prayers for the two souls for their peaceful journey back to the spirit world.

Around July 4^th, for a couple of days continuously, I heard a couple of sounds like gun shots. I was hoping they were just the sound of fireworks, but my husband and some other people who are prior military, all confirmed they were the sounds of gun shorts.

I had grown up in Japan and been away from gun shots. I don’t feel comfortable to hear the sounds of gun shots in our daily life.

I sincerely hope that all the people will re-think about the danger of a gun and stay away from taking their gun out from their house as much as they can. There should be always some ways to bring to peace rather than using a gun. My dear spirits and angels, please raise our vibrations and let us maintain our peaceful environment.

My daughter’s summer school is almost coming to an end. They have 9 more days including today. She shared one cute story about one of the attendees. He is a young boy who is 3^rd grade. According to my daughter, he has good personality. He is polite, talkative, and fun to hang around. He used to stay in the same group with my daughter. Nowadays he is not in the group anymore because he has made a girlfriend with one of the Summer School attendees. What made it even funnier was this is his third girlfriend. He has two ex-es even though he is still at 3^rd grade. I bet the life is fun for him.

In the evening I chatted with my new Reiki friend on the phone. We talked about upcoming Reiki teaching tour in Sedona. She wanted to have my opinion and feeling about the tour if she should postpone till next May. I shared my true feeling with her. I feel it will be much easier and better if she can reschedule to next May, but I also suggested her to talk to the teacher directly to make a final decision.

She also told me there are some Japanese people who want to the Japanese direct lineage Reiki and she wants to introduce them to me. If I am the right teacher for them, I am willing to teach/share my knowledge. I am looking forward to meeting them in person in the future.  

In the previous 6 months my husband had worked as a night shift from later afternoon to after midnight. His kind supervisor switched his work shift to a normal daytime one started from May 23^rd. I was so happy for him to get back to daytime shift as it is good for his health. He has enjoyed it but unfortunately his supervisor announced him a bad news. Their night shift worker had completely stopped coming to work and the company desperately needs somebody to cover the worker’s shift until they hire a replacement new worker. His supervisor begged my husband to help them out. My husband is gentle and cannot say no to them, so he accepted their request. Starting from this Saturday, he will have to work for a night shift. I will keep praying to our family spirits so that he will get back to the daytime shift again pretty soon. Please Great Spirit, help him out for his good health and safety.

In next month, my dad-in-law is planning to have a Navajo traditional healing ceremony for him. The date was set by the medicine man back in March, and my in-laws asked us to come and support them. I was really looking forward to attending his healing ceremony. Besides, I like the medicine man and his wife whom I have known since 1999. They are old as same as my parents’ age, and I don’t want to miss any opportunity to spend time with them. However, due to this work shift change, it makes my husband hard to ask his supervisor for a day-off. Everybody hates his new work shift, the night shift. In order for my husband to take a day-off, his supervisor will need to find somebody who is willing to cover my husband, and most likely nobody is willing to do so. This morning my husband talked to his parents about his current work situation that it will be hard for him to take two days off from work. They told him that they will have enough people to help them out. My dad-in-law’s two friends are planning to come. My husband’s brother, his girlfriend, and their daughter are planning to come. In addition to that, my husband’s brother’s former girlfriend and their daughter, along with her boyfriend are coming. And, the girlfriend’s parents are coming. So, in altogether, there will be my in-laws, the medicine man couple, and eight people of family and relatives, combined to 12 people will be there. If we push ourselves to go, we will probably need to pay for a hotel for our stay. There will be too many people in the Hogan. Taking all the conditions into consideration, we decided not to go this time. I am disappointed. I really wanted to attend the ceremony. 

Last night our area had a rough night due to the rain storm. While my routine morning walk in the neighborhood area, I noticed many damages everywhere in our neighborhood. Some trees fell down from the roots just like our backyard trees. Some people had their outside window blinds tore down. The community garden had suffered from dead plants due to rough hails.

I spent most of morning in the backyard and took care of the mess. I trimmed skinny branches from the fell down trees. We will enjoy campfire to use up these branches this weekend.  

I had a fun dream. My family, my in-laws, and my husband’s late grandparents were enjoying a picnic at somewhere mountain area in Navajoland. Grandma looked all happy and calm. She showed us some magic. She was holding one baby plant. She put the plant on the ground and said some magic word in Navajo. Then the plant started growing bigger and bigger, just like one scene in the movie My Neighbor Totoro. We had a new family member. It was a small-sized black fluffy hair dog. It was a male dog. He was very smart to understand our language. In this dream, Grandma taught me a lot about Navajo culture. She wanted us to move to Navajo Nation as soon as possible. She told me she was eager to support me and teach me a lot about Navajo culture.

In the morning we did the regular routine; went to the canyon hiking. It was completely empty two weeks ago, but it went back to normal this morning. We passed by many visitors on the trail.

In the early afternoon the maintenance guy came and replaced a ceiling fan. One of the ceiling fans were wobbling from the beginning right after we moved in this house. Yesterday when the guy came to fix the swamp cooler, he finally found out the ceiling fan and promised to replace it. It is good to have a safe ceiling fan.

In the evening we had lots of rain and high wind. The weather report says in our area had “wind gusts in excess of 90 mph and hail greater than 1 inch in diameter.”

The high wind broke off two the trees in our backyard. One was the tallest and biggest tree and the other was standing next to the tallest tree. These two threes were very popular among birds. Tomorrow morning when all the birds find out the trees were gone, they will be sad. At least I am glad the two trees fell off to our property so that they didn’t hurt anybody in our neighborhood.

At 8:30 p.m. in the night I attended the Sunday Service hosted by the Japanese mediumship. I like this host/medium very much. She is polite to everybody and good at spiritual reading. I always look forward to her class and Sunday Service. Tonight however, unfortunately due to the rain storm, our Internet connection was very bad. The Zoom app kicked me out several times and I needed to go back to the meeting. I almost gave up being chosen to convey messages at the demonstration of spiritual communication, but at the very last minute she chose me.

She saw a female figure and the medium thought it was my late mom. My mom showed her a vision of me and my family. We were with many people like a party, and I was feeding them lots of food. My mom praised I am a good cook. She thinks I will be able to offer my homemade foods to people, and it will bring lots of money to my family. She recommends me to start a business related to my homemade food.

It was an interesting synchronicity. Recently my late grandma-in-law showed me the exactly same vision in my dream. She recommended me to start offering my homemade food and it would bring lots of money to us.

I was happy to know. It seems like my mom, grandma, and grandma-in-law are together and thinking the same way.

The medium also mentioned about my daughter. My mom is happily watching over my daughter spending good time with a cute boy. My daughter has been enjoying the summer school program with her new friends with a group of 5; 3 boys and 2 girls. I was glad that my mom is watching over my daughter.

I appreciate the medium for conveying the message to me. I always admire her accurate reading ability.

For the past several days I felt sweaty and dizzy at home. It says a swamp cooler does not work properly during Monsoon due to high humidity and I had been silent. But today was extremely uncomfortably hot inside the house. My husband and doubted if the swamp cooler does not have enough water. When we sprayed enough water onto the swamp cooler pads, it finally started producing cool air. So we confirmed it was some issues in the pump to feed water to the cooler.

We contacted the realtor about the issue. Thankfully in the evening her husband came to our house to check the cooler. He noticed the water level of the swamp cooler was set to the lowest and it didn’t have enough water. When he set the water level to the highest, the cooler started working properly. I appreciate him for fixing it right away.  

In the morning my friend delivered some fresh produces grown in our community garden. It was nice of her to think of us. I cooked some for dinner. They gave us good energy.

In the early afternoon I had a doctor’s regular checkup appointment. This time was different from the previous ones in two aspects.

The first aspect was they started a questionnaire that the nurse asked me to input beforehand. One of the questions included my natal sex and current sex, and my sexual preference of the opposite sex or same sex. It also asked me how I prefer to be addressed on either “he,” “she,” or just by name only. I was surprised at these open questions. It will be helpful for the people who felt preciously uncomfortable and now these questions might reduce some of their stresses, I hope.

The second aspect was their method to see a patient. Starting from last March, due to Covid-19, the clinic had not allowed regular checkup patients to come in to the office. Our checkups had been held only online through Bluejeans app. For this appointment however, the receptionist asked me if I wanted to see the doctor in person in the office or not. I still like seeing the doctor online instead of going to the actual office, so I set up the online meeting. The receptionist told me now in Arizona, all the businesses were back to normal. We are not mandated to wear a facial mask or to keep the social distance anymore. I still like being careful so I still wear a facial mask in public and try to stay away from people anyway.

The regular checkup itself was done quickly. Since my Hemoglobin A1C result was improved, the doctor kept on telling me to keep it up on whatever I have been doing. She believes that I have been taking all the meds that she prescribed and that my health has been improved due to the meds. I didn’t tell her that I had stopped taking all the meds long time ago, and I have been making efforts on controlling my diet and incorporating new types of exercises such as running on the treadmill and rowing on the rowing machine. From now on I will stop seeing the doctor. Instead I will regularly check on my lab test at the local walk-in lab.

I received two emails from my new reiki friends. One was to inform us that our reiki teacher was discharged from the hospital and ready to continue his teaching tour. She informed us the first information of his getting a stroke was a mistake, but she still does not know what exactly happened to him to be sent to the ER by an ambulance. The other was to explain and apologize the inconvenience of yesterday’s reiki sharing. She was late logging in to the meeting, and other people had a tough time to join the meeting. I was not the only one who could not join the meeting. I guess I will be able to join on the next meeting without any issues. It is fine with me in any ways.

Since the 4^th of July celebration, my weight and glucose level got bumped back and I have been working on calming down on them. I think the main cause of the swinging up was the food and drink I had on the cerebration party. I had one bottle of coke and a bunch of watermelon slices. I normally don’t drink a sugary drink and be careful of the amount of watermelon, but on the cerebration party, I didn’t pay too much attention. I will need to reduce the food intake and add some extra workout to get rid of them from my body.

Today started off reading one email from my new Reiki friend in Australia. She let us know that our Reiki teacher had a stroke in Moscow while he was teaching. He was at this moment in the hospital resting. And she asked everybody to send our teacher a distance Reiki.

I sent him Reiki energy. I felt he is missing his Japanese family and wants to go back home in Japan. I sent prayers for him that his wishes will be heard and taken care right away. 

While I was meditating about my teacher, all of a sudden a block of thoughts came in. it was about the Reiki Originator; Mr. Mikao Usui. He passed away from a stroke while traveling to another area. I always feel the strong spiritual connection between Usui sensei and my Reiki teacher. I don’t think it as a just coincident that their birthday is just 4 days apart. I feel my teacher is now in the state of Anshin-Ritsumei 安心立命 where he is calm and ready to accept his destiny on whatever comes.

At 2 p.m., I tried to attend the Reiki share group on Zoom. One of my new friends invited me to the gathering, but I could not enter with the error message that the host has not approved me to join the meeting. I contacted the host if this is the right time or not. She quickly replied back to me this was the right time, but she still didn’t approve my entering to the meeting. I thought I should give up. Everything happens for reasons. Maybe I should not join this gathering today. It is fine with me.
