I had an appointment with my friend. I hadn’t seen her for a while. The last time I saw her was in 2016.

She is gifted to convey messages from spirits. Recently for these past three weeks, I have been feeling confused and depressed. I wanted to reconnect with my family spirits. So, I asked her for help.

***

Right after we sat down on a chair, she started passing down the messages to me.

The messages were like this.

***

<About an altar>

My ancestors want me to create an altar to connect with them. They are eager to connect with me. They also want me to prepare a notebook specifically for them. They will talk to me through the altar and the notebook, and they want me to write them down.

I can offer whatever I think it right for them through the altar. It can be a beautiful sound from a bell or a nice fragrance from an essential oil. I can even offer a fruit or some foods to show my love to them.

<About visiting my parents>

My Japanese parents are missing me so much. It is important for me to visit them. I should go there by myself for one week or so. There will be something very important they want me to carry on or they want to give me. It should be something like a family history or something that is important for me to carry on. It is my ancestor’s desire as well.

My alone trip to Japan will become an eye-opening and unforgettable one for me. It will be good for everybody, not only for me but also for my Japanese parents and my family in America.

<About my daughter>

While I am gone to Japan alone, she will be fine. It will be beneficial for her to grow mentally and spiritually.

My daughter is originally a strong and independent soul. Since she has a thick layer of energy protection shield, she does not get easily affected by other people’s negative energy. She will eventually work as a healing career as I do. However, her approach to heal others is not same as mine. Since she is gifted at analyzing and quickly-understanding scientific knowledge, she might become a doctor.

<About my spiritual service to others>

She confirmed my spiritual gift is still in me. I can hear from spirits clearly. I always have it and use it all the time in my daily life.

Pretty soon, actually three months after I come back from the trip to Japan, I will start helping other people as a life coach.

My method is a mathematical way using numbers. It can be astrology, numerology, or Feng Shui. In her vision, I was using a card, just like a bingo card; its size was around 5 x 7 inches. My client will pick the numbers they are attracted, and I will read the energy of the numbers.

In her vision I was also using a piece of wood. She feels it is from Japan. It contains spiritual power, and works as a portal to the higher dimension. It is twisted with veins and knots in it. I don’t have it right now. It will be gifted to me or I will find it by myself. I will receive it during my visit in Japan this time.

<About my energy sensitiveness>

I am also good at energy healing, but I should not do it by touching other people’s body. That is why I should not become a professional massage therapist.

Because I am very sensitive to energy, it is too risky for me to offer a healing energy by touching people’s body. When I touch other people’s body, I easily get influenced by their negative energy. They will get healed instantly, because I will absorb other people’s negative energy in my body.

In order to put a strong energy shield around my body, I should constantly check my energy field and cleanse it as needed. Scrubbing skin with a mixture of almond oil and sea salt will be helpful. Washing off my feet by running water every time when I come back from somewhere will also be beneficial.

There are many “hungry ghosts” around me. Because I am energy-sensitive, it is easy for them to spot me. They are wanting to be recognized and fed. In order to fulfill their hunger, on full moon night, I should put a bag of seven different grains of rice in the back yard. Leave it there all night. In the next morning, I should put it on the ground to the west for them.

The hungry ghosts are not necessarily bad spirits. They are attracted to me because they like my energy being kind and gentle. Once the hungry ghosts are fed and got my attention, they are willing to help me on helping others. They will happily stay with me and join in my family spirits.

Whenever I feel depressed, which is caused by the hungry ghosts, I should offer a pinch of the grains of rice and them to the ground for a hungry ghost. It should be no more than three grains; not a handful. Less than three is a just right size of amount for them.

Once I fully learn to shield myself from any negative energy of outside, I will be able to offer healing energy to others.

It was very nice seeing her. I appreciate her for conveying these messages to me. I was able to shed lots of healing tears. On my way back home after meeting with her, I felt being energy-cleansed.

***

After today’s session, I noticed one thing.

Recently while I was talking with my friend, just a tiny one phrase my friend told me pierced into my heart. After I finished talking with her, I didn’t feel comfortable.

I didn’t know why I got hurt by her phase at that time. Now I know the reason why.

I got hurt because I sensed my friend’s bullying energy. I could not feel her love through her saying this to me. She intended to hurt me by saying that. Please don’t get me wrong. She is still my friend. I like her. She is not originally a bad person. She was not nice at that moment though, because she spotted my weak energy, and so, she took a role of “a bully” toward “a weak one.”

While I am writing this, I am not weak any more. Thus, if she says the same phrase to me right now, I won’t get hurt at all. If I sense her wrong intention to hurt me right now, I will automatically enhance my energy shield so that I will be able to block her mean intention.

What I learned today is this.

When we are surrounded by a weak energy field, or when our energy field is broken or has a tear, anybody can easily hurt us by even a tiny wording.

Thus, that is why we always have to pay attention to our energy field. If we have any tear, fix it as soon as possible.

I had an interesting experience this morning.

While I was driving a car, a car going before me suddenly exhausted white smoke. The smoke quickly formed a huge circle of blind spot that made the car totally invisible.

I always maintain an enough safe following distance from the former car, so I didn’t get involved in an accident. On the next second when the smoke cleared up, the car was disappeared.

It was my very first time to see such a scenery.

My husband and friend said they have seen the similar view. They said the car probably had a trouble in the coolant.

I interpreted it in a different way.

I thought it might be a time machine. It was similar to the last scene of the movie “Back to the Future (1985)” when the main character went back to the future. With the huge electric shock or something powerful energy shifted, the car suddenly disappeared. It was like that.

Or, it might be a prank from my family spirits to make me laugh. I had been depressed for a while. I needed to laugh outloud in order to release my serious energy.

I purchased the audio data of the Kusuri-e author; Mr. Nobuhiro Maruyama.

It was a 138-minutes voice recording of one of his seminars talking about his Kusuri-e.

His lecture was inspiring. I liked him talked casually about the spirituality. I wish I could be there in person so that I could witness the participants got healed with his Kusuri-e.

What I liked the most was his explanations of the spiritual logic with using his personal experiences. He emphasized that we are all God and that we all can create the future as we like.

I knew the logic. As a matter of fact, I often mention it to my family and friends whenever I want to encourage/inspire them. But today, I was deeply touched by his words.

Maybe it is because I almost forgot about it.

Maybe I needed to hear it again from somebody else.

I appreciate him to remind me the important logic. I tend to forget this logic, so I need to hear it over and over again and keep being aware of it.

Recently I have been thinking about one specific friend. We became friends in 2016 and had a get-together several times. At our last get-together, she mentioned about her new job opportunity in Europe. Since then we haven’t seen each other.

I sent a text message to her and she replied back to me right away. I was at the right timing. She just came back from her trip to Europe. We scheduled to see each other this Wednesday.

I look forward to seeing her again. Then again, I admit that I am feeling a little bit nervous. Every time when I had a conversation with her, it ended up with a counseling/healing session. She is gifted to heal people.

Upon our meeting she will definitely ask me about my recent life and how I have been doing.

I don’t want to talk about any negative things such as about my Japanese parents. But at the same time, part of me wants to talk about it to her.

I am confused. I pondered about what I want. I asked myself some questions.

What do I want to hear from her?

Do I expect her to give me any specific advice?

Am I strong enough to hear anything from her?

Instantly the soul-leveled-me gave me the answers. The soul leveled me, already knows all the answers for me.

I am confused because I am somewhat blocked from true self.

I am confused because I cannot see and hear what I really want in my life.

While I am writing this down, I started realizing it is my fear about my future that blocks me seeing and hearing from true self.

So, I am clear now. I expect my friend to help me to get rid of my fear so that I can reconnect with my true self.

I know meeting with my old friend is a gift that was given from my family spirits. I will be fine.

I received a text message from my mom. Her message was messed up in the grammar and the spelling as usual. It actually got worse. I needed to use my imagination and guess on what she was trying to tell me. I don’t blame her. It was probably due to the side effect of the medicine or chemotherapy.

Guessing from her text message, my mom is having a tough time, mostly about her depression. She complained about my dad for being selfish.

However, just one week ago, my mom wrote about her love to my dad. She had missed my dad while they stayed separately from their house and the hospital. After my mom stayed in the hospital for her surgery for two weeks, my dad was hospitalized for his surgery.

I asked my mom if she wanted to talk to me over the phone. She said she didn’t want to talk to anybody.

I also asked her if she wanted me to send her Kusurie book; the book of healing arts. She refused my offer. She said she does not believe anybody or anything.

She sounded like she now hates the world.

I feel sorry for her. It is definitely due to the side effects from the strong medicines and chemotherapy.

At the same time I thought to myself, that I have to stay strong, so that I can keep encouraging them and sending good thoughts and prayers to her and my dad.

I believe they will go through this toughness together. I look forward to visiting them again in next May.

My daughter came back from school in a panicky mode. She was holding one paper in her hand. The paper was all wrinkled because she clutched it tightly in her hand.

It was a letter from the school principal.

He announced about their new decision. Due to the increased number of the students enrolled in fifth grade, they decided to make a combination class of fourth graders and the fifth graders. My daughter’s grade is affected again this year.

For the previous three years, they combined the class of my daughter’s grade and the one year younger grade. This year they stopped the combination class with the younger grade. There were five students who had studied with the older graders. Now this year the five students have to do the same grade again for one more year. I really feel sorry for them.

***

At the beginning of the school year, all the parents got relieved with the news of no combination class this year. However, two weeks after the school year start, the disaster of the combination class came back again. Only one different this time was the combination class is with the older grade.

My daughter and all of her classmates were shocked about this change. The letter didn’t tell the details, so I didn’t know exactly how this change would affect my daughter and her class.

In the evening I talked with the school principal over the phone. He told me the little more detailed information.

According to him, my daughter will stay with the same teacher and the same classmates. The only change for her is that three more students will be added to her class. Her class stays for the fourth graders only. Along with the three students, some more students will move to a new class which is the combination class of the fourth graders and the fifth graders.

As far as I heard from other parents, the combination class has only one teacher. While the teacher is teaching one group of students, the other group of students has to wait for their turn to be taught. Each group gets bored while they are waiting for their turn. It is definitely a confusing environment for the combination class students every day.  

Even though my daughter will not be affected, I still feel sorry for the other students, maybe around eight students, about moving to a new environment with the new teacher and the new classmates.

I think it will be a big deal for small children to change to a new environment. It is my sincere hope that the school will be aware of it and stop doing these kind of changes often. It will affect the students in their peace of minds.

I had two rattan baskets need to be completed. While my Japanese friends were visiting us, we made these together.

They had been sitting on my computer room floor for a while. Today I finally completed one of the baskets.

It turned out to be a rather big round basket. It will be good to keep vegetables or fruits in the kitchen. I am happy for its completion.

***

Now, I need to work on completing the other one. The other one is a difficult to complete.

It is supposed to be a round shaped colander for soba noodle (buckwheat).

I had been searching for the good information on how to complete it through the Internet research. I still could not find any good information.

I am going to ask around my neighbors who seem to have good advice.

I woke up with a dull headache this morning. I forced myself to get out from bed. I somewhat managed to prepare breakfast for my family. I also ate some rice soup that was easy to digest.

After my daughter left for school I took one hour nap. After the nap, I still felt tired and sick.

Again I forced myself to get out from bed. I had many chores to do. I prepared for dinner, started the washing machine, dusted off from furniture, and vacuumed and mopped the floor.

When I went outside to hang the washed clothes, I felt dizzy from the strong sun light and heat. I somewhat finished my chores, and went inside the house.

For two days straight, yesterday and today, we had an extreme heat. The temperature was risen up to 105F (40C).

After I cooked for the dinner, I run to the bathroom and vomited. It accompanied with the heavy headache. I could not keep standing anymore.

The pain was so intense that I could not sleep. It was about the time when my daughter would come back home. I appreciated that she now goes to/comes back from the bus stop alone so that I didn’t need to go to the bus stop to pick her up.

When my daughter came back and saw me in bed, she instantly told me it was from the extreme heat. She quickly went back and forth between the bedroom and the kitchen. She brought me some ice pack to cool off my body. She also brought some iced water and Gatorade drink. Then she came to me and told me I would get well soon, gently stoking my bang area.

Some minutes after my daughter’s taking care of me, my husband came back home. He also told me it was most likely due to the extreme heat. He gave me some Reiki energy. His Reiki energy is always powerful. After received his Reiki healing energy, I could fall asleep right away.

After two hours nap, I got up all well. All the pain was completely gone.

In the evening we enjoyed for a nice sunset walking. I appreciate my family for their constant love to me.

I made my homemade mirin. This is my first time to try making it.

The ingredients are as follows.

– 500 grams of steamed mochigome (sweet rice)

– 500 grams of dried komekouji (fermented rice)

– 2% of salt

– 960 ml of sky vodka.

I mixed all the ingredients in a hot boiling water sanitized glass bottle. I will need to wait at least six months to let it well fermented.

I look forward to tasting my homemade mirin six months later.

During the last weekend, I happened to swing by the local Asian market. I seldom go there. In fact the last time I went there was four to five years ago. The reason is simple. They don’t care for the expiration date of all their merchandise. I saw their items that had already expired five to six years ago. I also had witnessed the store owner trying to make the expiration date invisible by scratching by his thumb finger. Another time I heard the store owner complained about the Japanese customers who always checked the expiration date of each of their merchandise.

Despite of my decision of not going to the store anymore, today I went to the store because I needed to buy a sweet rice in order to make a homemade mirin. When I went to the Asian market in the big city last weekend, I forgot buying it even it was written in my shopping list.

My going to the store turned out great, because I unexpectedly found kabocha squashes in the store. The regular grocery stores seldom carry kabocha squashes.

I was happy to get a kabocha. Now I can cook the sweet vegetable soup.

It is one of the macrobiotics recipes. The soup should be helpful for diabetes.

The soup needs four types of vegetables; onion, cabbage, kabocha, and carrot.

All the vegetables need to be diced into small pieces. This is a healing food, so I didn’t want to cheat by using a food processor. So, I carefully cut them by hand. It took me almost two hours to cut vegetables.

The soup turned out to be a pretty good amount for me to eat it every day for two weeks. I hope it will be beneficial for me to cleanse my blood stream.
