In my dream, I was with my friend in Japan. I was driving my car. We found a nice restaurant. Unfortunately the restaurant did not have their parking lot, so I parked my car on the street in front of the restaurant. After our dinner, when we came out to the street, my car had a parking violation ticket on my driver side window.

***

There I had a sudden wake-up. It was around 3 am. It was a scary nightmare for me. It reminded me of my past days. I had a similar experience while I was living in Japan.

On the next moment, uncontrollably, other memories of my bad experiences surged in my conscious.

Firstly, one of my coworkers’ face popped up. He hated me very much. He was jealous of me because my boss highly evaluated me. He spoke ill of me using his made-up stories behind my back. Everybody in the office informed me of that. He hurt my feeling and pride. I was mad at him. I hated him back.

Secondly, three people’s faces popped up. These people almost killed me intentionally by choking my neck. I went very close to the death line. I thought my life was ended. But at the last moment, for some reasons, they took their hands off from me. They changed their minds to kill me.

While seeing the visions of these four people’s faces, my heart was filled with anger. I started thinking about my possibilities to fight them back, at that time.

As for the first case; the mean coworker, I could have explained each one of my other coworkers about the truth that he made up stories. But I didn’t take any actions. I just put up with his mean actions to me. I hoped he would leave the company, but he didn’t. Instead, I left the company.

As for the second cases; the three potential murders, I could have reported to the police. I could have sued them and fought in the court. I could have taken some actions. But I didn’t take any actions neither. I was scared. I hoped they would completely disappear from my entire life. They did. They disappeared from my life completely, because I moved to America.  

***

I started communicating with my family spirits.

Time has healed me in some level. I almost forgot about them, about their faces, and about their wrong deeds. I asked my spirits the reason why I had to remember these people. Why do I have to go through these angers again?

They told me “Forgive them”.

I could not understand right away. My spirits told me like this.

They hurt me deeply. The pains I got from them were imprinted deeply into my soul. Even though I appear fine in my conscious level, I still am suffering from the pains in my subconscious level. It is now the time for me to proactively forgive them. Forgiving is a proactive action. It has to be done by my will.

My spirits told me this too.

Don’t forget that I am a very powerful soul. Nobody can take my life without my agreement. I came back to this life with a firmly determined life mission. My family spirits are with me all the time. I won’t be left alone at any time.

While the conversation, I had come to understand the importance of forgiveness. It is important for me. It is nothing to do with them. I forgive their deeds for me, not for them.

It may sound being selfish, but it is actually not. If I can fully forgive them for myself, I can go to the upper level in my spirituality. It will be beneficial for me. That will enable creating a better situation not only for me but also for my loved ones.

***

I wanted to share my experience because you might experience the same as I did. All of a sudden, some angers that you went through in the past might come back to you out of nowhere. If that happens, experience the negative feelings to the most, then proactively forgive the specific person in your mind. Once you successfully forgive them, you will feel much lighter than before. Then, you should tap your shoulder, saying “Good job to me!!”

From this year, we have new students who use the same bus stop as my daughter. They recently moved to our area. On the way to the bus stop, the mom and the kids always stop by at the certain area, which is slightly detour to the straight route.

I have been wondering the reason. Today I finally asked the mom about it.

According to her, at the certain spot, she can always get two bonus items. She is into playing Pokémon Go game. Every time when I see her, she is engaging with her cell phone.

That reminded me my recent experience.

The other day when I was driving the way to the canyon. The road was single-lane and narrow. There was one cyclist before me. The cyclist was driving very slowly. When I was about to pass the cyclist, all of a sudden the cyclist staggered and dashed out to the middle of the road. I needed to hit the brake. Luckily, I didn’t involve in an accident. I thanked my family spirits and angels.

The cyclist, on the other hand, did not notice its danger at all. The cyclist was occupied, being engaged in his/her cell phone while riding a bicycle.

These people are addicted to their cell phones without their knowing. From my personal experience, I know it is hard to get out of any addiction. Once the addicted person admits its addiction, then it will quicken the healing process from the addiction.

About two weeks ago, I noticed a water puddle on the street in front of our house. We didn’t have rain in the previous night. It was the only one water puddle in the neighborhood.

I informed the town hall about the water leakage.

One hour later from my call, a firetruck swung by at the water leakage area. A worker marked some lines with a white spray on the street. That was all they did on the first day.

On second day, an official vehicle swung by. A man marked some lines with a red spray on the street. That was all they did on the second day.

On the third day, another official vehicle swung by. This time a man marked some lines with a yellow spray. That was all they did on the third day.

In that evening, my family was joking around the color of the marks on the street. Each of us guessed what color they would mark on the next day.

On the fourth day, again, an official vehicle came. This time, a man marked some lines with a bright orange spray. We never thought of bright orange. None of us guessed correctly.

From the next day, for a while, nobody came to the water leakage place.

***

Two weeks after my notice, which was today, about ten workers and some vehicles showed up. They worked on the water leakage, digging the street, fixing the water pipe connections, and putting back the dirt on the street.

There were three government workers (supervisors) and several orange jumpsuit workers. I heard the orange jumpsuit people are inmates. All of them seemed to have a good relationship. They all joked around and laughed around. They seemed to have a good time working together.

I was glad that the water leakage was fixed. Also, I was glad to see them working happily.

By the way, today is the anniversary for my business Three Wisdom. It turned to be two years old. Happy birthday to Three Wisdom.

I finished reading the book “Growing up in heaven” written by James Van Praagh.

In the book he mentions about the importance of meditation. He suggests us not to stumble with any judgements.

He explains like this.

The more you judge something, the more you stay stuck in it. It’s like floating down a river; if you get caught on the rocks, move aside and keep going. (Quoted from “Growing up in heaven” p.136)

I love this part. He beautifully explains the reason why we need to avoid getting caught by something.

It can be applied not only to meditation but also to human relationship.

In daily life, we run into somebody whom we feel like we are speaking different languages. How hard we try to communicate with the person, the person never understands the core message we are communicating. The person raises his/her voice, saying a bunch of excuses and denials.

In such a situation, the best action we can do is move aside and keep going on our way. We might be tempted to talk back to the person. From my recent experience though, it is not a smart option.

The smart option is not to talk back and let it go. It is a better option not to spend your precious time and energy onto the person who does not reside in the same dimension with you.

***

I recall my mom once told the tip for building a good human relationship. She said it is pretending stupid. We run into the situation where somebody says something that we don’t agree, or does something that we don’t like. As long as it does not risk your safety, just pretend being stupid and move aside, instead of facing to the person directly. Pretending being stupid actually saves your inner peace and your precious energy intact.

This morning I did the guided meditation “Communicating with your spirit guides” created by Denise Lynn.

I like her soothing voice and her choice of background sounds. She uses the sound of birds’ chirping and water flowing. I noticed the birds’ chirping is very similar to that of my house environment. I hear their chirping all the time.

It seems to me that they are always talking to me. Their chatting contents are about their findings. Everything is interesting and fun to them. They talk about how blue the sky is, how interesting shape of the clouds is, how other birds fly in a funny way, and how unique the color and the designs of other birds’ feathers are.

Our yard has a huge tree. The birds always talks about the tree. They like the tree. They observe the growth of my herbs, a jalapeno tree, and flowers. They love my daughter. They love her laughter.

Their conversations go on and on.

I feel I am lucky to hear their chatting.

When I was living in Japan, my house was close to the beach. I had two windows and big balcony facing to the ocean. Every time when I opened the windows and the balcony, I enjoyed listening to the sound of ships. I also enjoyed smelling to the ocean breeze and seeing the calm blue ocean surface.

I felt I was lucky to enjoy those elements.

***

Wherever you are, you can find the comfortable environmental sound. Believe it or not, your current house is the best fit for you at this moment. Your environment gives you the best needs for you at this moment. So, let’s appreciate them and enjoy them to the most.

Recently my daughter had been interested in playing a guitar. She created a small handmade guitar with using a cardboard box with some rubber bands. Interestingly it makes different sounds. She had played the handmade guitar every day. Right after she came back home, she would run to the guitar and play it.

My husband and I thought about buying a real guitar for her. On our second thought, we fear it might be too heavy and big for her.

I had once belonged to a fork guitar club for one year in my high school days. It was simply because I was a huge fan of a Japanese male singer. He sings songs with his fork guitar. I had my hair style just like his, and started learning how to play guitar, hoping I would be able to sing his songs with playing a fork guitar just like him.

It was when I was 15 years old. Even for a high schooler, a fork guitar was too heavy and big.

***

Today my daughter’s wish came true unexpectedly.

When we browsed around a brand new outlet store, my daughter found a small guitar. It was the only one left in the store.

The box says this toy is for a preschooler, older than three years old. It is a perfect size for my daughter. Even though it is small, it makes sounds like a real one. It has real strings that we can adjust the strength at the back of guitar. This small guitar has only a 4-strings, whereas a normal sized guitar has a 6-strings.

When we came back home, I taught her how to play some simple songs. She memorized them well, but it was still hard for her to properly press down on the strings with the tips of fingers. It will be cool when she masters playing a guitar.

Today, a priority mail envelop was delivered to me. When I opened it, I found a letter and a gift card.

The letter says I am a First Prize winner in the customer survey monthly sweepstakes. The prize was $100 gift card.

Wow!

I never thought I would be a winner at their sweepstakes. It has been a while I won a first prize.

***

I recall my days when I was a small child.

Every autumn, we had autumn festival at the local shrine. They had a raffle draw.

There were from the first prize to the fifth prize. The first prize was a 2-nights trip to hot spring hotel, and the second prize was a 1.8 liter Sake bottle. The first prize and the second prize were only one winner each. I believe the first prize was a golden ball, and the second prize was a silver ball. 

The third prize and the fourth prize were some foods, maybe a small cookie or cracker. The third and the fourth had many winners each. The fifth prize was a pocket tissue. The fifth prize was actually a blank prize, because it was for everybody who didn’t win any prizes from the first to the fourth.   

In my younger child days, I had a good luck. Every time I played the raffle draw, I always won the second prize, a 1.8 litter Sake.

I needed to hold the big glass sake bottle on my both arms and walked back home for 20 minutes. I always needed to give my prize to my dad. My dad gave me some money for my prize. I don’t remember the exact amount, though.

I won the second prize all the year during the elementary school days, from the first grader to the six grader. I stopped going to the festival when I turned to be a junior high school student.

So, I always thought I was lucky in my childhood days. Recently I feel I am gaining back my good luck. I have been lucky. 

Thank you to the store person for letting me win a first prize. And, thank you to my family spirits for your continuous blessings. You guys made my day!

My daughter had a dream of a horseshoe crab. Since it was so vivid to her, she wanted to know the meaning of the horseshoe crab.

Several years ago, while I was meditating, a horseshow crab showed up as my power animal. I didn’t know the meaning for it at that time. My friend shared her knowledge of horseshoe crab.

It was like that.

A horseshoe crab represents its unique appearance. Its shape does not resemble to anything else. It has existed on Earth since the ancient era. It represents grandmother-like wisdom.

Another characteristic of its appearance is the hard shell on top side of the body, making it appear tough and scary. On the inside of the body, soft organs are uncovered, making it appear naïve and vulnerable.

Therefore, a horseshoe might come to you to confirm that you have pure energy inside, but your core part is intact, thanks to the tough energy field. You are well protected.

Or, it might come to you to warn you to protect yourself well. It encourages you to take a good balance between gentleness versus strength. At that time, the latter message resonated with me well, so I took the horseshoe crab appearance as a warning message.

Also, a horseshoe crab has a bright blue blood. This blue blood has remarkable antibacterial properties. It can save many humans’ lives. As for my daughter, this fact resonates with her well.

I felt a horseshoe crab appeared in my daughter’s dream to remind her of her precious healing gifts. She is gifted with healing people through her gentleness and kindness, and her cheerful laughter.

I am blessed to live with her. I can receive her amazing healing energy every day. That’s awesome.

As I mentioned in my previous article, Japanese Consulate General offers Japanese school textbooks to Japanese children living in a foreign country, in the condition where the family is planning to go back to Japan and live there.

I received the textbooks for the second grader and the third grader. Unfortunately they could not provide me the textbooks for the first grader.

It might be hard for my daughter to learn from the second grader. I want to start teaching from the first grader’s level.

I found one organization who can sell and send the Japanese textbook. Their price of textbooks for the first grader with the shipping fee is about $80. It is a bit expensive for me.

I decided to search around other options of less expensive. I believe the textbooks will eventually come to us. I already mentioned my request to my family spirits and Angels. I also sent a letter to Universe. All I can do for now is believe and wait for its manifestation.

***

In my recent life, I have been experiencing lots of unbelievable greats. I do believe Archangel Michael is with me, and my requests are always being heard and taken care of. I talk to him, in the same way as a regular conversation to another human, in my daily basis. After I state my request, I let it go and keep believing its manifestation. Then, later on, I enjoy experiencing the manifestation, exactly the same way as I had wished.

It is amazing. It might be thanks to the higher vibration of this year of 2018. I feel the people’s vibration is being raised with the help of Universe, Spirits, Angels, and our ancestors, ourselves.

I run into one of my fellow students of the exercise class. She was surprised to see me again. She thought I already moved to other state. I never mentioned such things to her.

According to her, our exercise instructor mentioned to the class, that we had already moved to East Coast. This time, it was my turn to be surprised at what I heard from her.

I didn’t like being treated as something like a ghost, who are not supposed to be here.

***

I felt anger to the instructor. Why did she do such a stupid thing? Why did she spread the wrong information about me to the entire class which includes some people whom I know and whom I hardly know?

From the anger, I felt like calling the person. I wanted to complain to her and yell at her. 

However, I didn’t do so. I don’t like being angry at anything and anybody. I quickly took several deep breaths. That helped meto calm down.  

***

After I came back home, I did a meditation. It was “Letting go and surrendering meditation” guided by Denise Lynn.

This meditation helped me to see this event objectively from the other side.

As a matter of fact, this is not the first time. I went through the similar experiences from this instructor’s gossiping about me. That is why I had stopped attending to her class long time ago. I haven’t seen her for quite a while. I am in the safe place.

It is not my responsibility to point out that to her. If she keeps doing this bad habit (gossiping), people will eventually notice it and stop attending at her class. This is her lesson to learn.

It is though, my responsibility to keep my inner peace, no matter what.

***

Everything happens for a reason. Although I had gone through the similar experiences from this person or another individuals before, I get mad every time when it happens.

What did this event teach me?

Then, I realized these answers for my question.   

—First, I don’t like being gossiped.—

There is some ways that I can avoid being gossiped. I should be alert to people. I should tell my private information to only my trustworthy friends, never to the other people whom I don’t fully trust.

I recall I wrote about Eleanor Roosevelt’s quote in my past article. I should keep her quote in my mind. 

“Great minds discuss ideas; average minds discuss events; small minds discuss people.”

Knowing what I don’t like helps me to know what I like. I like people with great minds who discuss ideas. I should focus my energy to attract only “great minds people” in my life. 

— Second, don’t waste my energy and time for others.—

Know that there are some people who love gossiping. Don’t even mind them at all. Cut the energy cords with them. Let go and move on.

So, I learned these lessons from this event.
