Today I went in the sauna at the gym. I was the only one in the room and I could enjoy my relaxing time sweating a lot. It was so comfortable. After sweating a lot, I felt refreshed and detoxed. I really hope I will have my own private sauna room in my house in the near future.

Going in a sauna reminds me of a Native American’s sweat lodge ceremony. My debut to a sweat lodge attendance was when I was 29 at Navajo land. My female Navajo friend conducted the female sweat lodge and I was invited. It was very mild and not tough at all.

My second one was in Okayama Japan. The Japanese man conducted it in a Lakota way. It was very, very hot. Some of the songs that they sang, even though it was my very first time to hear the songs, were somewhat familiar to me. I burst into tears as my soul shone with happiness.

From the third, I lost count. I have been blessed to be able to attend some in Navajo land and in Lakota land.

My best memory of sweat lodge ceremony was one that I had in Lakota land. I was the age of 35. I helped the Japanese tour customer as an interpreter.

During the ceremony, I was somewhere in between the material world and the spirit world. I could see myself as in spirit and communicated with my family souls freely. I saw the blight and shining blue energy in front of me. I knew somewhat it was myself. My soul. My spirit. I don’t know which term is correct. Maybe my spirit.

My family souls told me messages one by one. The message were like this.

“You are the chosen one.” “You are the divine messenger.” “Be confident in yourself.” “We are enjoying everything with you, through you.” “Everything is going as we planned, so stop worrying, be happy.”

These messages can be applied to everybody. YOU are the divine one and chosen one too. Please be confident in you.

A great news came up to me this morning. One of my Ki Gong classmates introduced me a Japanese elder who needs a little help. I talked to the Japanese woman on the phone. She speaks a very little English but is fluent in Japanese. She sounded very excited to meeting me. I am excited to meeting her too.

After I hung up the phone, I noticed that I was in a very happy state. Because I could speak my own language with her.

Even it is my 9th year living in America and using English on a daily basis, my mother tongue is Japanese and I am still comfortable speaking and listening my own language. This fact will not change for the entire of my life.

When I comes to my mother tongue, I can do two or three different things simultaneously. For example, while I am talking on the phone, I can still read a magazine article and listen to somebody talking behind the scene. However, when it comes to English, which is my foreign language, I need to focus on only one thing. When I speak on the phone, I cannot do anything else beside the conversation on the phone.

Most people take it for granted that they live in a place where they are surrounded by their mother tongue, but it is actually very blessing thing. If it applies to you, you should feel yourself as a very lucky person just for that.

Yesterday I listened to the audio lecture of Dr. Wayne W. Dyer. He mentioned his routine that he naturally woke up at 3:13 am and devoted the sacred morning time to write his book. In this lecture, he mentioned that the morning time of 3am to 4am is the divine time. It is the time when the majority of people are asleep. Also it is the best time to communicate with God.

He recommended the students if you wake up between this time; 3 am to 4 am, consider this as a calling from God. In this case, utilize this divine time for something that you have sign up for, before you were born. He lovingly warned that if you are awaken naturally between 3 am and 4 am, don’t just go pee and come back to bed and back to sleep. Instead, get up from bed and listen to God. Meditate or write a book, or something you think it divine.

Then, here it goes. I woke up at 3:45 for some reason this morning. I naturally took a look of the time, so I remember the time. However, I completely forgot about Dr. Wayne’s message. I went to bathroom and came back to bed and back to asleep.

When I fully woke up at 6 am, my conscious was back, and I thought “Oops!!” It might be the calling from God. If so, I was supposed to get up and write.

Oh well, maybe next time. I will try to remember his suggestion and get up and use the quiet time for writing.

This morning I had a dream of myself being a pupa. Before I woke up, my family souls told me to remember this dream. I am at the pupa stage. Last year, I had a dream of myself being a caterpillar. Considering that, I am in a progress to transform to a beautiful butterfly, and the time for me to become a butterfly is really coming closer.

So, I think the message for today is like this.

You are doing well. Keep going. You start seeing the goal clearly. It is little bit further and you need little bit more efforts to put into your daily actions. Trust you can achieve the goal. Feel assured that you are in the right track.

I think this message can be applied to everybody. When we set a certain goal, we go through the process of a life cycle of complete metamorphosis just like a butterfly goes through. When you are the stage of a caterpillar and pupa, you might need being patient on achieving enough nutrition that body needs for a transformation for the time being. In this stage, trust yourself and your own strength, you can wait for a glorious day in achieving the goal.

For these past several days, I kept receiving same messages repeatedly.

It started from my friend’s message. She conveyed the message from my family souls to slave over to my life missions that I was given at birth.

The second one came through Doreen Virtue’s weekly oracle card reading. In this video, around 5:00, the message resonated with me strongly. She conveyed the message to the people who know they are supposed to do something and they currently feel not being motivated. Because they are powerful, their saying it makes the reality to match with what they are saying.

Then the third one came through my dream of this morning. My old friend who passed away in 2014 showed up in my dream. She had a gentle smile and told me gently and lovingly to focus on what I am supposed to do. I know she was not scolding me but she told me like a mother who gently reminds her loving kid to teach what to do.

I know what they are trying to say. They want me to focus on finishing my first book regarding world peace. Once it is done, my other door will open. Until now, all the other doors are closed for me, for my highest good. I appreciate all the loving messages.

So, I should be careful of what I am saying and even what I am thinking. Because thoughts are powerful to make that happen in the real world.

My friend shared the sign to petition to stop the Canadian province of Ontario to designate December 13 as Nanjing Massacre Remembrance Day.

It is sad to read this kind of news. I feel somebody (or I should say some group) is trying to manipulate people to hate one another. It is a beginning stage to start war.

Spiritually speaking, we all came back to this lifetime to change the world to a better place. We should focus on unity rather than separation.

I sincerely hope people will select the right options, peaceful options to unite people. I hope many people will rise and say no to separation activity. We don’t need war anymore. We need to unite. We want to establish the solid world peace.

Some people asked me about the painting event that I went yesterday. Do I recommend anybody? — No. Am I willing to attend the same event again? — Absolutely no.

Nothing wrong about the event. It is just not for me. Not suitable for my preference.

It was the event for adult’s night out. Most likely for girls’ night out. It was held in the café and bar. They served food and alcoholic drinks. The music was loud. Mainly dance music or hyper music. As the other participants got drank, their voice got louder and their actions got bolder, to the point where they were irritating my ears and nerves.

I like to engage my creativity in a quiet and calming environment. I usually put a calming music or classical music. I cannot draw my painting with drinking alcohol and eating food. I feel uneasy of drunk people’s roar and cussing words, especially in a very close distance.

One thing that I noticed from this event is I get irritated by loud noise. I might be super sensitive to sound.  

Next time I want to participate another painting event that suits to my preference.

Today, my family and I attended to a painting event. The fee included the canvas of 16×20 in (40 x 50 cm). And other tools (such as acrylic paints and brushes) were also provided.

The instructor showed us the sample drawing and told us what and how to draw, step by step. But it is totally up to us on how to choose the color and draw the picture. It was 2 hours event. We had so much fun that the time went by quickly.

After the 2 hours, it was interesting to see other attendants’ drawings. They were all unique and different. Each drawing eloquently told the creator’s personality. They are strangers to me, but I could see their personalities in their artworks.

My husband is good at details, so his artwork turned out to an outstanding one with detailed expressions and beautiful color selections. I think people want to buy it and put it on their kitchen or living room.

My daughter is full of unique idea, so her artwork turned out to be a happy and cheerful one. When people saw her artwork, they commented “oh my god, it is so pretty!” Her artwork shows hear pretty personality and makes the audience feel happy.

Finally, as for mine, I am originally a unique shaped person, so my artwork turned out to be something different than others. I started following to the instructor’s instructions, but from at the certain point, I started drawing on my own way.

I think it is good to make an opportunity to draw a picture with your loved one; your spouse, children, parents, and friends.

Creative activity is for sure healing. While you are drawing, don’t think about drawing a “good” one, but just focus on “enjoying on creating”. After an artwork is done, you can analyze your unconscious patterns in colors, lines, spacing, and such. You might enjoy new discovery about yourself.

Today I received a phone call from the teacher of my daughter’s school. She conveyed the great news about my daughter. According to the recent tests, they found out my daughter’s academic level was advanced. She is already one year advance. I don’t know much about American school system. This might be pretty common for many people. But still, I am happy to hear that my daughter is doing well at the school.

I thanked the teacher for her continuous support. I told her she was good at teaching. First, the teacher told me that it was mainly from my daughter’s efforts. Then she suggested me to consider this great news as from our good teamwork. My daughter made continuous efforts, so did the teacher and we, as her parents. We all did well so that we all can take credit for that. I thought it nice of the teacher to say so. The great result stems from our great teamwork. I like that.

When I was working for many different companies in Japan, I have encountered some supervisors and employers whom I could not respect. They used their junior staff and employees just like as their slaves, looking down on them. They always took all the credit for successful jobs to themselves and blamed any mistakes to their junior staff.

In one of very popular Japanese television dramas, 半沢直樹 (Hanzawa Naoki), one character says this quote. “The boss takes credit for his subordinate’s good deed. And, the subordinate takes responsibility for his boss’s blunder.” I believe there are many people have encountered this situation.

I believe the current energy has been sifted, and there are many people who take credit for all the success as a result of a good teamwork. I hope and believe that the lower vibrational situations cannot exist anymore. Everybody and everything should be matched with the higher vibration.

Many people have thought about fairness. Have you ever thought your friend is prettier than you? Or, have you ever envied some people who are born to a rich family and never worry about money in their entire life? Have you ever thought it is unfair? We tend to compare ourselves with others. We naturally envy others.

Jealousy is pretty common feeling for humans. And that is why we have an old saying; The grass is always greener on the other side of the fence.

When I was young, I used to think like that. I envied rich people or some people who never have hard life challenges. I thought it was unfair.

However, now I know everything and everybody is in a fair condition. I fully trust the Universe takes a good balance, and everything happens for reasons.

For example, if you are born to a rich family, you will have benefits about abundance in money, but most likely you will encounter other unexpected challenges from being rich. If you are born to a very beautiful appearance, you might feel extra burden to keep up your beauty or you might feel overwhelmed that people constantly keep watching you because of your beauty. You might envy normal appearance people for that reason.

We will never know how the person who is under specific conditions or environments likes the conditions or environments. They might not be happy about the conditions or environments as we imagine.

Furthermore, spiritually speaking, we all are at the different spiritual age. Some souls are advanced, and other souls are still immature. It is natural that advanced souls go through tougher and harder challenges than that of still younger an immature souls. In that sense, everything is fair.

We don’t need to compare or envy. We all have different leveled learnings and challenges.
