Nowadays I have been enjoying reading books and watching videos of Dr. Wayne Dyer. He often asked the audience if we would like to stay being ordinary or extraordinary.

As for me, I look like ordinary, but deep within me, I know I am extraordinary and I would like to show my extraordinary to the public, to the world.

I think many people feel the same way as I do. Technically speaking, we all are extraordinary, but we try to look ourselves ordinary. Why? Because we intuitively know that being extraordinary is tough. People have two opposite reactions to extraordinary people; envy and admire, and jealousy and hatred.

One of my clients is dealing with the job hunting. He is now offered two different types of jobs. The pro of the first job opportunity is that the payment is good and the lifelong promotion is guaranteed. The con, on the other hand, is that the job itself will be boring, and most likely he won’t get any respects from the employees and managements. They will think the employees as replaceable and consumables.

Conversely, the con of the second job opportunity is the payment is extremely low. The pro, however, is that the job itself will be exciting, as it contains lots of different opportunities for leaning. The employees, managements and employer will show respects to every single employees. They work as a team.

I am honored to read his natal horoscope chart and gave him Angel card reading. During the reading, I kept on hearing the messages from his Spirits asking him “Would you like to stay being ordinal or to come out from fear and become extraordinary?” His natal chart eloquently tells that he is an extraordinary person; he came to this lifetime to contribute something big to the world.

Also, one of the cards said “to focus on repeating feeling”. So, I asked him if he had a repeating feeling. And he naturally said “if I don’t have a family to support, if I were a single, I would definitely choose the fun job regardless of the pay rate.” So, he knows the right answer for himself from the beginning. Before the session, he was about to select the boring job due to the high rate. He was about to sacrifice his time for his family to support them.

The point is that we all live our lives for ourselves. When you have to select one option out of two or more options, select one that your soul will feel happy and excited. As long as you are happy, you can make your loved one happy. Your loved one does not want you to sacrifice your precious time for them.

For these one week, we are enjoying calm weather; spring like warmth and gentle breeze.

My daughter has been working on creating a garden art with using grasses and flowers from our garden. I taught her one basic common sense. Before we take anything from the nature, we first tell the reason and then, ask for a permission from it.

Before my daughter takes anything, she tells the natural product that she is creating a beautiful artwork, and asks it to be a part of her artwork. She puts hand together (Gassho), bows (Ojigi), and says Thank-You (Arigatou) to the natural product. She does this procedure to every single natural product, with respect.

Watching my daughter creating an artwork from the natural products, I thought of my kid’s days. When I was small, I loved visiting my late aunt. Her garden was small but it was full of green grass and colorful flowers. She allowed me to use anything I could find in her garden to make an artwork. I loved doing that. And now my daughter loves doing the same thing.

While watching my daughter, I had a feeling that my late aunt was staying with my daughter, giving her advice on what to pick and where to put. Because my daughter would stay in the garden for long, more than one hour, all smiling and happy.

I feel the healing is taking place in both ways; my daughter heals the nature by showing them her respect and the nature heals my daughter by allowing her to enjoy their beauty. And, not to mention, I am enjoying observing this scene too. It makes me happy.

This morning I had a clear dream. Lots of snakes were gathering around me and they all jumped into my pocket. My pocket was like the Doraemon’s Four-dimensional pocket. It could hold anything without limitation. The dream of lots of snakes jumping into the pocket is considered as a message for receiving good luck fortune. I don’t know how I can receive such fortune, but I for sure look forward to it.

When I was small, my dad shared his dream. In his dream, lots of white snakes jumped into his pocket. Just the same as I had this morning. It was when he established his own company several years ago. His company was still small and had a small portion of profits. After this dream, his business boomed up and he received lots of unexpected support and good luck in his company.

In Navajo culture, I have heard medicine men and elders considering a snake as a messenger to warn something to you. In Japanese culture, a snake is considered as a holy creature as well as a messenger from God, so (as far as I know) we don’t kill a snake. When I was small and encounter a snake, elders would tell me not to bother a snake, say a little prayer and appreciation to it, and leave the place.  

Last year when we were having tough days from lots of challenges and troubles, I had a snake dream many times. In addition to that, I encountered a live snake in my garage twice last year. I understood these snakes came to me to convey a warning message. On the other hand, this year, snakes are coming to me to convey a blessing message. This is just my personal interpretation.

I personally respect snakes. Whenever a snake shows up either in my dream or in the real life, I try to listen what the snake trying to tell me. A snake always brings special meanings to me. Maybe it is the influence from my aunt who had already passed away. She passed down lots of precious teaching about spirituality and Japanese traditional way. She always showed her respect to a snake. And, I often see a white snake behind her in my spiritual eyes. The big white snake was her guardian existence.

I think everybody has a certain favors in animals, birds, or trees. Maybe it is due to the spiritual connection to you.

Last year during my husband had a tough time, I used to go visit one of my acquaintances. I needed somebody to listen to my story, and I needed to express how frustrate I felt.

The person was very nice to me and showed great deal of compassion to me. The person was on my side, and that means the person did not like my husband. That led the person to always speak ill of my husband, strongly suggesting divorce.

After spending several months intensively visiting the person, I finally noticed that I should stop visiting the person. After listening the person’s whole bunch of speaking ill about my husband, I finally got fully awake, that I love my husband and I am willing to support him. This is my life. I decide what I should do. I have decided to stay with my husband and believe in him, no matter what. I don’t need anybody who tries to control my life decision.

 I can be a mommy bear for my husband and daughter. I can be super mean to protect them.

I think you have a similar experience. Even you and your spouse get a temporary fight, or you and your child get a small argument, whenever somebody else speak ill of your loved one, you will instantly change your attitude to that of a mommy bear who is always at her full strength to protect her loved one.

Today I had my 12th business meeting with my business mentor. He asked about my family, how my husband and daughter are doing. He also mentioned something very nice about my husband. I instantly feel great to listen such positive comments.

Every minute we have an option. I take an option to hang around with somebody who speaks positive things about my loved one. I take an option to stay away from somebody who talks nothing but negative things and speak ill of others. Let’s keep on taking the right option for us. That is the key to maintain our vibration nice and high.

When I was at junior high school, which is 7th grade in American school system, there was one classmate who was extremely shy. Other classmates used to pick on her. Not in a very harsh way but more like in a hidden and insidious way. Other classmates spoke ill of her behind her back.

I didn’t like how other classmates treated her. She was not very close friend of mine, but I always treated her nicely. I always greeted her and said something fun to make her feel happy.

One day, during the class, the classmate kept on moving her both feet. Then, she peed herself while sitting in the classroom. Somebody noticed it and yelled “Ewwww!! Gross!!!”

I felt sorry for her. Maybe she could not tell the teacher that she needed to go to bathroom emergently. I quickly went outside, grabbed a cleaning cloth, and wiped off her mess on the chair and the floor. Then I asked a permission from the teacher to take her to the nurse’s office. I asked the nurse to give my classmate a change of underwear. During all this time, the classmate was crying so hard. She felt so embarrassed that she didn’t want to go back to the classroom. I went back to the classroom, grabbed her stuff and brought them to her at the nurse’s office. Then she went back home.

Next day, the classmate did not show up at the school. She didn’t come back to school for more than 1 week or so. When she finally came back to school, she came to me and told me she appreciated for what I did to her. She also said that she would not forget her appreciation to me for all her life.

I still remember this incident clearly. Honestly, I don’t know if I can do the same thing to a stranger who is suffering from something. I might react like other people; to avoid the person or simply ignore. So, I know I don’t have rights to preach anybody…. But one thing for sure. If something happens to my loved one, I would not leave the place. I would not even think about anything, just jump into helping my loved one.

So, this is my small suggestion. If you encounter anybody who is suffering from something, let’s not just leave the place or saying nasty word to the person. Rather, let’s do something positive. There should be something we can do such as to call somebody for help or to do something we can do.

I believe we are all connected. If I help somebody in some way, my loved one will get the benefit from somebody else at somewhere else. For example, when I carry a heavy stuff for a stranger elder, my Japanese parents might get a kind support from a stranger, far away in Japan. When we stop feeling separation, we will start receiving a benefit from oneness.

Today I attended Ki-Gong class. I happened to stand right next to a thermometer to check the room temperature. In the beginning, it was 70F. After 45 minutes Ki-Gong class, the room temperature was raised to 74F. It was 21.1C to 23.3C. I thought it amazing. As you know, Ki-Gong movement does not require any hard movement. We just dealt with breathing today.

On the same classroom, two weeks ago, I offered a trial Reiki session to the person who wanted to try. One woman was over 90 years old. I have known her for more than 2 years now. Whenever I hugged her or touched her hand, her body and hand always stay as in cold. After I gave her 10 minutes Reiki, her entire body became warm. She was amazed how quickly and easily Reiki energy could go through her body. Her both palms got very warm. Her entire body became pinkish color, including her face, neck, and even feet.

I’ve heard many times from many different people that it is important to keep our body temperature nice and high. When we maintain our body temperature high, we can enjoy the benefits. Higher immune strength, healthier body functions, faster and quicker burring fat. The research shows our normal average body temperature are 0.7C lower than that of 50 years ago.

As I shared, just simple breathing or having Reiki, whatever simple daily efforts can improve our normal average body temperature. Let’s consider something good for our body, and continue daily in this year. Let’s maintain our good health toghether.

When I was 29 years old, I was working as a temporary worker for a major medical equipment company. My job position was an in-house translator. The job itself was fun, but the attitude of my supervisor was far from fun. He used me as if I were one of his toys. He was a very arrogant and rude man. I needed the job position to keep paying for my bills, mainly for my mortgage. So I had put up with his humiliating attitude to me for several months. One of his coworkers observed my supervisor and me, and one day the coworker mentioned something supportive to me (that was critical remarks to my supervisor) in front of everybody. Right after the incident, the supervisor brought me to the separate room, yelled at me. He blamed me that everything was my fault. Then on the same day, he fired me for that.

I couldn’t believe that. It was not fair at all. But I strongly felt my spiritual guides were smiling for me, being happy for me. So I thought “okay then”.

On the following day, I was offered one job interview. It was another temporary job at the major computer company, and the offering pay rate was good. I took the job interview and demonstration test. Everything went well, but at the very last moment, I deleted all my work accidentally. I don’t know why that happened. Because of the last minute mistake, I failed the job test. On that time too, I felt my family souls were happy and smiling for me. And again, I thought “okay then”. I fully trusted my family souls had some other good plan for me.

On the following day, I received a phone call for a new job opportunity. The job interview was set on the afternoon on the same day. The day was raining. I had a good feeling. I am a water spirit. Whenever something divine is about to happen, I always have rain. So, I knew the rain was a sign for me that the interview would go well.

During going to the job interview place, I felt my family souls were smiling for me, putting their hands on my shoulder.

When I met my future supervisor, I instantly liked him a lot. I knew he liked me a lot on the first impression. We ended up talking for more than 2 hours on the job interview. He hired me as an office manager right away. There, I established a Japanese branch along with my German director. It was exciting and creative job that I ever had dreamed about.

Now that I think back those days, I feel this job offer was a divine gift from Spirits. With this job position, I could accumulate lots of valuable experiences and learnings. I am so grateful for all the Spirits that guided me to this German director and the job position.

I am enjoying this morning’s flesh energy. We have clear sky with gentle blue. Here and there, there are thin cotton like clouds. I am enjoying the happiness that I have. Comparing the life I had in Japan, the life that I currently have is full of happiness and fun.

I had lived alone for 16 years in Japan. Those days I enjoyed my life as success of material life. It was fun, but I always felt something missing in me. I would try to compensate the missing parts with something material or unproductive relationships. I didn’t care of my body. I didn’t care of my life. I was full of adventure. Deep inside, I could jump without thinking because I didn’t care of myself.

Now it is totally different. If I could convey a message from current older version me to younger version me, the message will be like this.

“Hang in there. Keep having hope. Don’t get disappointed in your life. The situation will get much better. 16 years later, you are full of appreciation, surrounded by love. You are not feeling something missing or anything. You are feeling you are whole.”

And I think it will be the same from my future me to current me. Things will get much better than now.

The conclusion is to enjoy every moment. Why don’t we keep it in our mind that somebody always loves us. And the biggest fan of you might be you, older version you. Hug yourself. Love yourself.

When I was a university student, I took a class of Philosophy as a general education. Since this class was a mandatory class, around 300 students took the same class at once.

The professor didn’t use any books. He kept on talking about philosophy including the history of Buddhism and Shinto as well as the Western philosophy.

It was obvious that many students were not interested in this class. Most students came in to the classroom to sign the attendance record and quickly left without attending the full class. Other students were listening their own music with a headphone or reading comic or something to kill time.

Me? I loved this class. I think I was the only one who intensively listened this class and took notes. Some of the information especially about Buddhism was so easy for me to understand. Maybe one of my past lifetime was a Buddhist and studied a lot about their history, and that is why I remembered the knowledge.

When the exam day was coming closer, I let one of my classmates to copy my notebook.

From my house to the university, I took three different public transportations; city bus, train, and subway.

On the exam day, on my first ride in the city bus, I saw my neighbor classmate. She was reading a copy of notebook. To my surprise, it was the copy of my notebook.

On my second transportation, I was standing on the isle in the train. One stranger girl who was sitting in front of me was reading the copy of my notebook. On the third transportation as well, the girl who was standing next to me was reading the copy of my notebook. Finally, when I enter the exam room, I saw a whole bunch of students reading the copy of my notebook.

You know, it is very easy for you to spot your handwriting. My handwriting was extremely unique so that it took me just an instant to spot my handwriting. I also added my original illustrations here and there in my notebook, which also made me easy to spot my notebook.

Several days later, I heard the rumor that almost everybody in the philosophy class received an “A” grade from the exam. I am pretty sure my notebook was helpful for everybody. I have no idea how on earth my notebook had spread all over to the entire classmates.

I opened my FB account last year. In the beginning, I accepted everybody’s friend request without thinking. I am pretty sure most people would start like that.

I want to talk about one of my FB friends. I received a friend request, so I accepted. Then, he started sending me a personal message. Very annoying often. And you know, FB has a function to “poke.” He sent me a “poke” very, very often.

I asked him politely to stop sending me a personal message and “poke” but he still kept on doing it with the comment that touched my nerves. He sent me lots of negative comments and feedbacks, and his own sad stories… And they were never ending. I was exhausted.

Then, I noticed one Angel card deck was shining to me. Seemed like it is shouting me “pull my card”. So I did. I opened the card box and pulled one card that was really shining to me.

I started laughing. The card says “You have nothing to feel guilty about”.

I said “okay” to myself and unfriended the person from my FB. But before doing so, I did ask him to let me unfriend him from my page. He said okay.

This is a good lesson for me. Since then, whenever I receive a friend request, I go to the person’s page, and take a look of the timeline. Then decide to accept or ignore. In daily life too, I need to be careful what type of person I need and I don’t need to have the person in my life.
