I watched 2017 Messages with Doreen Virtue yearly annual angel card reading. I appreciate her for sharing this message. I could feel her sincere message coming from her heart. She mentioned in this video that the key word for the year 2017 is Truth. She also mentioned there will be many whistleblowers so that we will get two totally different stories. Her advice was to trust our gut feeling, our intuition, and always try to see the truth. I totally agree with her message.

Historically, the majority of people were fooled by the information that was made up by certain people for their convenience. Since I was small, I was so intrigued by the truth of the WWII. I tried to find out the truth. I read many books about the World War II. Whenever I had any opportunities to listen directly from elders about those days, I would sit with them and listen to their story for hours.

It is the Universal law that the truth is uncovered sooner or later. For example, the truth about the beginning of the war and the truth of Attack on Pearl Harbor has been finally uncovered and revealed. These truth was hidden for more than 50 years. There are still many people who don’t know the truth.

The good news is that this lifetime is different. I think the time that required for truth uncovered has getting shorter and shorter. So, this year, we might have a radical changing year as the world level. And the biggest trait may be uncovering truth.

It makes sense to me. We are in the process of raising vibration. In a higher vibration, everything should be matched up. No more hiding the truth. No more two-faced. No more monkey business. These are heavy vibration, so that there cannot exist in a higher vibration.

Truth is actually pretty simple. Whenever people try to hide the truth, they need to lie or make up a new story, and that makes the situation complicated. As long as we keep the truth, any situations stay as simple as they should be. And, that is what we want. 

Let’s keep having hope in each of us. We make an ideal world together.

Happy New Year to everyone.

This year, I want to change my prayer pattern. This year, I want to focus on being aware that I am the co-creator of the reality. I focus on that I can make the reality as I like.

To me, Rooster is brave enough to say it and do it without thinking too hard. I want to follow Rooster. So, this year, I stop thinking too hard, but say it and do it anyway. Most importantly, I follow my passion.

You are the same. You are the co-creator of the reality. You can create the reality as you wish.

Remember, nothing can bother you. Nothing can stop you. You are powerful. You are great as you are.

Love yourself. Hug yourself. Say to yourself Thank-You many times, as you are a super precious being.

Have a great year to us all!!!

Today is the last day of the year 2016. This year is the unforgettable one. Lots of tough events. But at the same time, lots of blessings and learnings. I don’t want to go through this type of things again, but I do appreciate for the opportunities to learn. So I would like to say Thank-You to the year 2016, and let it go.

My Japanese friend reminded me of 六星占術 （The Rokusei Senjutsu）. According to it, my year 2016 was 種子 (Planting Seeds). I didn’t know this information until the year end, but it makes sense to me. I did plant some seeds this year. My next year 2017 is 緑生 (Taking care of the seeds that planted on the previous year). It also makes sense. I will take care of my small business and the book proposal to grow.

This time of the year is a good time to analyze yourself. Keep close attention to your dreams. You might receive some messages through your dreams. Or it could be through books or conversation with your family and friends. It might not make sense right away, but write it down anyway for the future. By the end of the year, everything will make sense to you.

At last, I would like to say Thank-You to my dear readers. Thank you for your feedback and comment.

Thank you to the year 2016 (Year of the Monkey), and welcome to the year 2017 (Year of the Rooster).

I still clearly remember about 18 years ago from today. On December 30th 1998, I visited Navajoland for the first time on this lifetime.

When I entered the Navajoland, I heard the spiritual voice (maybe from the land itself) saying to me “welcome back.” I started crying. I was not sad. I was so happy. The tears and the joy came from my soul level.

On my first night on Navajoland, I had a dream/vision. I saw my future self. I saw myself doing many different things. Translating, interpreting for the television program on Navajoland, tour guiding on Lakota land, speaking in front of a big audience, teaching spirituality, writing articles for magazines, publishing books about spirituality, had an interview for a television program, married to a Navajo man, having 2 children, becoming a public figure as a world well-known spiritual teacher, and such. It was like to see my future self in a television screen in years advance.

Some of the visions already happened, and others have not happened yet. I don’t know when and how they will happen. I leave it to the Universe to lead and guide me the way. I fully trust that everything will happen at the divine timing.

I have met many married couples, including old and young, who still follow the old days’ fixed concepts. The husband being bossy and the wife being obedient.

I think it is okay as long as the both parties agree with taking the role of the old days. However, I have heard many wives complaining about their husbands.

I don’t remember who and when told me but I do remember somebody gave me a great advice of a newlywed. The advice was like that.

When we get married, it is our responsibility to create a comfortable routine for both of husband and wife. In order to make it possible, we have to go through the process of disagreements and arguments. This process is not fun, but it worth to go through for the future several decades to spend time together. How can we do? Only one effort. Communicate, communicate, and communicate… That is all we have to do until we have the peaceful understanding (and compromising).

When I started living with my husband, I was disappointed. It was far from the romantic love life of a newlywed couple. He would come back all mad from the work, sat down at the kitchen table, ate the food that I cooked with all complaining about his workplace and people who worked with. He never appreciated for my cooking food and cleaning the house. No smile. Right after he finished eating, he quickly left the kitchen without any help in doing dishes or putting thing away from the table. Right after waking up, he would turn on the television news which talked about all the tragic news. Right after coming back from work, he would turn on the television, again the news channel. I didn’t like any of them.

I didn’t give up on communicating with him. He at first was reluctant listening to me. However, the great thing about him was that he was young and flexible. Soon enough, he started listening to me intensively, and started making effort on changing his habit. Now my husband is very supportive with our daily chores and raising our daughter together. We communicate well.

He did the same thing to me. I had many bad habits that I annoyed him without noticing by myself. I made efforts to change my bad habit.

Marriage life is supposed to be a long one, longer than the years that you spend with your parents. It definitely is worthy to take time to communicate with your spouse in the first year of the marriage. It will be beneficial for both parties to create a comfortable routine to live together comfortably for many years.

I watched the documentary movie Happy (2011). It is translated in Japanese as well. 『happy – しあわせを探すあなたへ』. It is a great movie to make the audience actively think about happiness.

While watching this movie, I thought about my coworker who constantly stayed in his happy state. I had a privilege to have worked with him for 2 years at the same company.

I still remember when I met him for the very first time. When he entered to the office, I felt the lightness from him. Light as in floating light. I didn’t feel any gravity from him. That kind of lightness. Those days I didn’t know exactly what it was, but now I know it was the lightness in his vibration.

He was living just like everybody, with heavy stress from job and family. What was different in him from others was that he didn’t take anything personal. Whenever he was blamed or scolded by his customers or strangers, he never took their anger to himself.

When we encounter the similar situation, most of us naturally take the other person’s anger in us, and we end up with getting irritated or angry. The anger does not originally come from ourselves, but we take the anger from others.

Unlike most of us, my coworker would show the compassion to others, but never pulled himself down to the lower vibration (such as anger feeling). I always respected and admired him that he kept his happy state no matter what.

And among all, he laughed very often. I still remember he had some unique wrinkles on his upper cheeks just like “(^^)”. Probably his constant laugher had formed his unique laughing wrinkle over the years. I think they are good wrinkles.

He naturally taught me that we always have an option on not to pull us to a lower vibration. It is our choice and responsibility to stay in our happy state, no matter what.

When I was working as a sales person, my supervisor used to tell me to ask my supportive job to the busiest office worker. We had 5 office workers who dealt with our supportive jobs such as making a quotation and a contract document. I used to feel sorry for the busiest person to ask my job, but my supervisor was right. The busiest office worker was doing her job at the high efficiency. Her job was always unbelievably quick and accurate. She was popular for her great work. And that made her the busiest office worker all the time.

According to my supervisor, the busiest person knows how to utilize his/her time in the most efficient way, so that his/her job comes with almost perfect without any mistakes.

And it was very true. The busiest person could concentrate for one job at a time, without getting panicked.

And I think that can be applied to anything and everybody. I think we all can do things in a high efficiency.

When we have lots of things to take care of, let’s not make us feel panicky. Take a deep breath in and out. Write down the to-do list, and decide the priority. Then, focus on one thing at once. Remember, we can expand time as we wish. In order to focus on one thing, we need to get rid of all the unnecessary worries and concerns from our brain. When one is done, we can start the second one. That is how we can do a task with a high efficiency.

In The Universe Has Your Back, Gabrielle Bernstein mentions her communication experience with the Universe. When she was in a house hunt, she asked the Universe to show her a sign as in an owl if the house is the right one for her. Then she got the sign. The Universe showed her several owls in the paintings.

I thought it interesting. I truly believe the Universe listens to us constantly.

So, in my morning meditation, I asked the Universe to show me a sign as in a yellow butterfly if my book proposal will win and get published. I added to the Universe that it doesn’t matter if the butterfly is an alive one or one in a picture. Because it is winter right now.

Right after the breakfast, my family and I went to the local mountain for a hike. After we finished hiking, while we were passing by the front reception office, the male receptionist gave us a small gift. And, it was a yellow butterfly with a magnet on its front. This was my first yellow butterfly.

Then, when we were about to enter the gift store, they had some sale items in front of the door, and there was another yellow butterfly magnet. This was the second yellow butterfly.

In the gift store, I told my husband about the yellow butterfly. His eyes got bigger and he put a big smile on his face. He told me while we were walking on the trail, he kept on seeing a yellow butterfly in his vision. So, this was the third yellow butterfly.

It was interesting to communicate with the Universe. You should give it a try! You will be amazed.

We are visiting Navajoland again. This year was unusual. We ended up visiting Navajoland frequently. It is the end of the year, and this is our 9th times to be back to Navajoland in 2016. It takes 10 hours’ drive from our current house to Navajoland, so you know it is not an easy trip.

Since last night, we had snow. When we woke up this morning on Christmas day, the entire view was covered by snow. It is so beautiful. Quiet, peaceful, and holy. I love it.

Navajoland has healing energy. Every time when I stand on this land, I feel embraced by its gentle healing energy.

Here at the end of the year, we finally found out who were our true friend and fake friends. We finally know the reasons why my husband needed to struggle with. All the reasons and truths were revealed.

We felt today’s snow is a cleansing for us. Blessings for us.

I am glad to feel that all the challenges are gone now. We will definitely have a peaceful year next year in 2017.

When I was at the high school, I was not interested in Geography class at all. During Geography class, I used to do something else such as drawing or reading other books that had nothing to do with Geography. I didn’t make any efforts on Geography tests, so I got a grade of “1.” In Japan, we use the grade “1” to “5”. “5” is the best and “1” is the worst. I didn’t care much about my low grade, until one day when the teacher told me that I might not be able to graduate because of the low grade of Geography.

I didn’t know until that time, that my high school had a certain standards of our grades to be able to graduate. In my case I had the grade of “1” in “Geography class” and “Health and Physical Education class.” It was in January in my third grade of high school. The graduation day was in March. In order to graduate, the teachers of these two classes gave me an assignment to copy the entire books.

This assignment is based on our Buddhism culture. We have a Japanese term “Shakyo.” It means hand copying sutra. For us, copying sutra, brings us peace of mind, just like similar to meditation.

At that time while I was copying the entire books, it was far from meditating or bringing me peace of mind. You know why? Because I was in the middle of studying for the University entrance tests. I was so frustrated. I thought to myself that I would not need to study Geography in the future.

However, as years passed by, it turned out I needed to study Geography.

Now I live in America. One of the advantages to live here is to enjoy the opportunities to meet people from different countries. I have met the people from the countries that I never heard of. I want to know about my new friend, so I look it up his/her home country and their culture and weather. Whenever I am interested in the new country, the information can come into me smoothly. I don’t need to struggle to memorize the information for a test. And I think that is how we should study. Not just to memorizing for a test, but to fulfil our interest to know. 

So, I came to understand that we all have divine timing to study. When we are not interested in, it is not the divine timing. But the diving timing will come to us. And it is when we can digest the knowledge fully. My point is we don’t need to concern about the grades in school that much, because we will be provided the necessary knowledge at the right timing.
