I attended the parent conference at my daughter’s school. It is always fun to hear about my daughter in school. I am sure my daughter has many different aspects that she doesn’t show at home. All of us have different aspects varied to the location and situation.

Based on the description from her teacher, it seems my daughter is the roll-model student. She is nice and kind to teachers and classmates. She assists the teacher by supporting other classmates on spelling and reading. She never caused any issues or troubles like some other classmates.

Being a good student is very good. However, I tell my daughter she does not need to be good all the time.

I can tell her because I read her natal horoscope chart along with her palm lines. It is her tendency to be good to everybody. As her mom, I try to give her opportunities to express her true feeling.

I tell her it is okay to do silly things from time to time. If she wants to do something silly like other students, do it.

I tell her it is okay to express her true feeling. If she feels anger, express it in some forms. I will always be there for her. As long as she expresses of her feeling along with what happened to her at school, I can think the better solution together with her.

I want her to be free from unexpressed emotions. By teaching her the techniques on how to release unexpressed emotions, I am also refreshing my memories and cleaning them for myself.

Have you ever heard of amazake? Amazake is Japanese traditional sweet drink made from fermented rice. It contains rich enzymes and probiotics.

The name of “Amazake” is a compound word of “ama” and “sake.” “Ama” means sweet. And, “zake” means “sake”, but it does not contain any alcohol.

Yesterday I made my homemade Amazake. It was my first time to make it at home. My Japanese friend made it possible. She sent me some koji and taught me the recipe.

The recipe was simple.

I cooked Japanese rice and put three cups of rice (450g) in a container. After letting it cool off for a while, I added 1 bag of koji (300g) and mixed them well. I covered the container with a blanket to keep it warm, and stored it into a cooler box with warm water for all night.

Next morning when I opened the container, the gentle and warm fragrance spread all around the kitchen. My daughter thought I was baking a fresh bread. We sampled the amazake. It was very sweet, even though I did not add any sugar or other sweetness.

Probably the hardest part of making homemade amazake is to prepare koji. You can buy it in America, but it is very, very expensive.

I saw some recipe videos on how to make homemade koji. One of these days I will make my homemade koji too.

I have been thinking about the reasons why I am here on this land. Especially now that I like this land very much, my desire to know the reasons become stronger than before.

I asked my family spirits to show me any signs in any forms. I expected to find any signs and hints in my dream, in the book I happen to read, in the lecture I happen to listen, or in the casual conversation with somebody.

***

The first sign was through my dream. In my dream I was very selective to the people whom I hang around with. When I was invited to some gathering that I was not happy to go, I could turn down the invitation without hesitation in my dream.

When I woke up, I thought it interesting. It was true. I learned to say no to the events or the people that I don’t feel comfortable with. For the first couple of years since I moved to this land, I had suffered from building a good human relationship with newly met people. That is why I was greedy in any kinds of opportunities. Thus, whenever I was invited for some gatherings, I would attend without thinking or hesitation. However, I often regretted being there. Almost every time I attended such gatherings, I felt being isolated or bored. I wanted to be polite to the people so I did not leave there early. I pretended enjoying being there. After I came back, I would feel frustrated with myself. I would get mad at myself being weak that I could not say no to people.

From these experiences I learned the importance to be true to myself. Asking my intuition is important for that. My inner feeling and my outer appearance should be matched up. Otherwise the mismatch between them make me feel unhappy.  

***

The second sign came in through the online lecture. While I was studying about Tarot card along with the energy of numbers, one part strongly resonated with me. It was the explanation regarding the energy of number 13.

The Japanese teacher mentioned that the number 13 has a charismatic energy. This energy enables us to be true to ourselves. It can be applied to the person whose birthday is 13th or the person whose Sabian symbol is 13 degree. Interestingly to know, on this land, my ascendant is Pieces 13 degree. This energy helps me to be true to myself. I am getting to feel comfortable to follow my intuition. Nowadays I can say no to any invitations without feeling guilty.

***

The third sign came in the conversation with my friend. She mentioned about the Planetary Grid. I found out I live very close to the 17th grid. It was only three hours’ drive from my house. This area is also close to Sedona. At least for me, this area is good to enhance my spiritual ability. My spiritual awareness level has definitely improved after I moved to this area.  

***

It was an important process for me to know the reasons. My main purposes for being here on this land is to rediscover true myself. Also I am here to be strong enough to follow my intuitions. Knowing these purposes enables me to love this land more proactively than before.

Do you feel the easy energy going on from the beginning of this year? I do. I feel the energy is going smoothly and the environment supports us in a gentle way.

As a matter of fact, from January 2nd to March 8th of this year 2018, for 65 days, All Planets In Direct Motion (APDM) continues.

It is fun to imagine that all the unique planets who have different personalities and abilities go forward together. Don’t you think it will be wonderful if the same thing happen to all the humans? We all are unique with different abilities and gifts. When each single of us faces to the same direction and moves forward, we can create the better world together.

With the true peace in the world, everybody supports one another. Everybody easily finds and praises the other person’s good aspects. We all focus on the good aspects. Just a tiny kind action can make the other person happy.

Just a small kind thought can be a trigger to raise the vibration. All the good things are contagious. All the happy feeling and kind thoughts and actions are the trigger to make the better world. I really want to focus on making the better world with other fellow humans. We don’t need to complete. We don’t need to separate one another. Nobody is superior nor inferior. We are all great. We are all nice and kind in nature.

So, this is my small proposal. During this time of APDM, let’s keep having a positive thought. Let’s interpret things into a positive way. Once you learn something, let’s share it with others, so that your knowledge and experience can prevent any further troubles.

Your family spirits are watching you and being with you all the time. Every action you do and say from your kindness will be accumulated into your spiritual bank account. Then your great deal of accumulated kindness will save the world. Keep on doing your good work. Nothing will be in vain. Everything counts.

Last night I had a sound sleep for 10 hours as usual. I meditate in the morning as my daily routine, so I did, as usual.

Normally, I meditate for 10 to 15 minutes. I visit my family spirits’ realm and come back safely with some vivid visions and memories about the conversation with my family spirits. I seldom fall asleep during meditation.

However, something unusual happened today. I fall asleep during the meditation. And it was for three hours. I woke up with the alarm sound that I set for noon. When I woke up, I noticed I didn’t bring back any memories or visions.

Because it was unusual, I wanted to know the current celestial event. Soon after the short research on the Internet, I noticed about Super Blue Blood Moon lunar eclipse. It happened last night. Specifically it started on January 31, 2018 at 3:51:13 am in my area.

That makes sense to me. The moon made me sleepy and brought me back to the spirits’ realm. It is okay with me that I came back without any memories this morning. I know I will regain back some hints within some days when I am completely relaxed.

My daughter’s week goes quickly. She attends two club activity after school; science club and art club.

Yesterday’s science club, an unexpected cute visitor was at the club. It was Peanut the goat. The goat was wearing a baby diaper as a courtesy to the club room. They taught some anatomy of goat.

The goat loved my daughter and followed around her. The goat would stay right next to my daughter.

My daughter has something special. Her energy stays very calm and warm. She is kind and polite.

I still don’t know what she will be and do as her career in the future. Whatever she chooses, I want to support her and wish her success.

This morning I watched one Japanese television show. In the show, one young man, in his early 30s, was the main guest. He used to work for the television show as the assistant director. The television show introduces the real farmers and animal breeders who raise them with their love. They don’t use unnecessary chemicals in the process of raising. Their products need more time and labors, so that the prices are higher than the other products. But they are the real foods with much better ingredient and higher energy. He was inspired with them.

After the assistant director resigned the job of television program making, he has traveled throughout Japan and experienced the rare and real farmers and animal breeders. The main MC stated the young man’s face was shining and looked happier than before.

While watching the show, I thought of one of my old friends. We had been close friends in our childhood days. He was funny and open minded. After graduated from the university, he went to Australia and Bali Island. He would send me an airmail with his pictures from time to time. He looked shining in the pictures. He worked as a waiter at the Japanese restaurant in the evening and an instructor of diving (he is a licensed diving instructor).

After he spent his fun days for 1.5 years like that, he needed to come back to Japan. He entered one company. As soon as he started working for the company, he started looking sad. Around the age of 35-ish, under a strong pressure from his environment, from his parents and coworkers and friends, he thought himself of the necessity of getting married.

So he followed the surrounding people’s voices. He married with one woman whom met through an arranged marriage. I knew him since he was very small. He does not look very happy at this moment. This is just my personal opinion. I might be wrong; he might be happy with his current life. Or, I might be right; he might regret of his life decision.

In my generation, it was still common to follow the environmental voices especially the voices of our parents. Our parents and their grandparents value their happiness into the marriage life. I feel nowadays the value system has been changed into more flexible than before. If my friend was born 10-20 years younger, he might have had enough support to live his life as he wants. He is now a parent of three children. He will respect his children’s desire on their life, instead of pushing his own opinion.

All in all, I think it is good to see the changes. The changes to be flexible. It is now everybody can pursue their dreams and desires more easily than the past. There is no such things that “we are supposed to …” or “we should follow the rail that our parents think it the best for us.” It is our life. We are responsible to choose our own best way. There are so many different routes that we can take.

During our daily walk, I mentioned about “a letter to Universe” to my family. My daughter was very interested in the letter. She asked me in details on how she can send the letter.  

I told her she can send the letter to Universe from the website. The website was created by a Japanese girl. It is written in Japanese. I told her I can help her to send it.

I asked her how many wishes she has. She answered to me she has only one wish, but it is very important.

I was curious about her wish. I asked her what it was, but she said it is secret.

I opened the website and explained to her on where she should put the title of her wish and the content of her wish. I also mentioned to her she can write her wish in English. Then, I left her alone so that she could write her secret wish.

Several minutes later she called me saying she was done inputting. Before I clicked the “send” button, I happened to see her wish.

My heart was deeply touched.

Her only wish was about me. She wishes I would live longer and healthier with her. She does not live without me.

I feel so blessed to have her. I never thought I would be loved this much. And yes, I too wish to live longer and healthier with my daughter.

Last night I had a sound sleep. Although my body parts were aching from the hard work of trimming the tree, I felt good and was happy for the tree.

This morning in my dream, the plant kingdom people visited me. First, they showed themselves as the healthy plants and trees as a zoom up scenery. Then, gradually the scenery zoomed down so that I could see the whole picture of the plants and trees. I noticed they were the plants and trees at my house in my childhood days.

When I was three years old, my family moved to a new house. My dad is a certified architect. He bought a piece of land and designed the house all by himself. Our house had a small yard. We planted many plants and trees in our yard. We took good care of them. We watered them every morning and evening. I remember when I watered them, they sparkled. They seemed to be happy and healthy.

So, the plants and trees of my childhood yard showed up in my dream and thanked me of what I did yesterday. They were happy for the tree of our front yard.

They reminded me that everything is connected. When I treat nicely to the tree of my front yard, my nice action heals the plants and trees even on other side of Earth.

It can be applied to humans too, right? When we treat nicely to your family and friends at the place where you are, your family and friends who is far away from you will receive the benefit at the same time. It is wonderful to spread the nice deeds to one another, don’t you think?

At our front yard, in front of the entrance door, we have a big tree. I don’t know the exact name of the tree. It looks like a pineapple or a coconut tree. The tree was never trimmed. When we moved into this house four years ago, the tree was already in a bad shape with lots of dead branches hanging heavily.

Recently, I have finished reading the book Feng Shui for the Soul written by Denise Linn. I enjoyed her book very much. She shares the information of Feng Shui along with her personal experiences and the knowledge that she had accumulated in her life. In the book, she emphasizes of the importance of decluttering. She explained that when things are cluttered, energy will be clogged up there.

When I read that part, the entrance tree came to my mind very strongly. I thought I should do something for this tree.

This is not our house; we are just renting it. The tree was like that before we came. Thus, technically speaking, we are not responsible for this tree. The owner does not mind it at all and that is why the tree is left like this for years. But I felt sorry for this tree. This house was built in 2002. Possibly, the tree was planted on the same year. Since then, for these 16 years, nobody took care of the tree. There was no mark that the tree was trimmed.

I asked help to my husband. We went to the local DIY store to get some hand saws. We started trimming the old branches. They were the dry woods and hard to saw. We started at 1 pm and kept on working until the late evening of 7 pm. When it was done, the sun was already set and it got dark.

While we were trimming the tree, some neighbors cheered us up. They all said the tree looked much better than before.

When it was done, it sure did look much nicer than before. I am sure that the tree appreciates for our hard work on trimming nicely.
