In my earlier post, I wrote about a rattle snake. I am not a snake lover, but I do respect snakes. It comes from Japanese traditional way of thinking.

When I was a small child, many Japanese elders told me that a snake is sent as a messenger from God or spirits. That is why we don’t chase them away when we run into them. I’ve seen many different typed, colored, and sized snakes in physical world as well as dream world. Every time I saw a snake, I would ask the snake what they wanted to tell me.

So, before I went to sleep on that night, I asked my family souls to show me the message the snake had for me. The rattle snake came into my dream. She told me she wanted to warn me about one man. My husband and I recently met one man who offered his help for our job opportunity. He looked kind and nice, but both my husband and I felt something weird in our gut feeling toward this man. We trusted our gut feeling and we didn’t give him any of our personal information. The rattle snake told me that was a smart decision for us not to trust him right away.

I believe not only snakes but also every other creatures can be messengers. It might be helpful to be alert for any kinds of opportunities to listen to those unexpected figured messengers.

Recently, specifically it was December 1st 2015, I found a big rattle snake in my garage. My husband was away from home, so he called the police. A police woman arrived at my house right away. She went up to the snake, introduced herself, talked to the snake that she would catch it and take it to the mountain and release it. The snake was listening to her. Then, she caught the snake without any trouble, put it in a big bucket, and locked with a lid. It seemed like the snake allowed the police woman to catch it. Everything was done smoothly, just like a flow of sophisticated classical music. The police woman was calm and the snake was calm as well.

The police woman accompanied two guys in orange jump suits as her helpers. One of the guys said he hated snakes. He went up to the bucket where the snake was in, opened the lid slightly, and told the snake some mean things such as “what an ugly creature you are. I hate you”. With that, the snake got aggressive, started rattling inside the bucket, and tried to spit its poison to the guy.

The police woman quickly approached the snake and chased the guy away. The police woman started talking to the snake some nice things in a very calm and loving voice such as “hey sweetie, calm down. You are so beautiful and gentle. I promise you that I am not going to hurt you. I will take you back to the mountain where you originally belong. There, you can peacefully sleep during the winter”. With that, the snake got back to calm down again.

It was pretty interesting scenery to observe. This incident taught me a precious lesson. Humans, animals, insects, reptiles; all the creatures can read energy, and we naturally react to a certain energy. If somebody comes to us with a hate feeling, we react to it and naturally put a mean look on our face to protect us in a fighting attitude. On the contrast, if somebody comes to us with a loving feeling, we react to it and naturally put a smile on our face in a friendly attitude. If we want to be treated nicely, we can start from our side. We can start emitting positive and loving energy, and the environment will react to it and we can get a nice reflection.  

This year 2016 is my 8th year to live in America, and I have stayed at the same area for these 8 years. My first friend on this area is a Honduras woman. She is 19 years younger than I am. It is a huge gap in physical age, but from the perspective of spirits, the person’s spiritual age matters, rather than physical age. Before I make my friends, I see through their eyes in order to find out their spiritual age. When I met her for the first time, I instantly noticed that she is an old age in spirituality. She is quiet, patient, and kind to people, and I really like her humble attitude to people.

In this 8 years, we had shared lots of precious experiences. When I got pregnant, she arranged a baby shower for me and my baby-to-be-born. She introduced me to her close friends. Whenever I got hurt mentally, I would visit her and chart with her. She was like a grandmother to me. She would listen to me carefully, never cutting me off during I was talking. Then, after I finished talking, she would give me encouragements or appropriate advice. She is also an immigrant from a foreign country so that she had gone through tough days in communicating in English as well as prejudices as a minority. That is why she exactly knew how I felt those days.

In these recent years, her husband had started talking about moving to another state. I thought it would never happen, because simply it never happened for them to move.

However, the movement happened all of a sudden.

One day, all of a sudden, her husband decided to move, and took necessary actions right away, and moved to another state. They moved even before they rented or bought a house there.

Right before she moved, I went to see her and we hugged each other at the last moment. We could not stop our tears falling down, lots of lots of tears. We cried and cried, because we both somewhat sensed that this would be truly the last for us to see each other on this life. We both felt something had finished. When I was hugging her, shedding tears, my family souls whispered to me “graduation ceremony from this land”.

I think she came into my life as a guardian angelic figure to support me so that I could fit myself in this land, America. I probably had helped her in some way, too. Then, when our timing matched; I am ready to move to another land, and she is ready for her new adventure at her new land, our farewell happened.

When you think back your life, you also will notice a guardian angelic person came into your life, and after you had achieved something, the person naturally disappeared from you. I think this is how we support and interfere with one another. Isn’t is miraculous and wonderful? Let’s enjoy and cherish every new encounter in our life, because no exactly same situation will come back to us again.

Today I had a great experience during the meditation guided by the Hemi-Sync audio to travel to the Universe.

I was floating, feeling calm, embraced by warm energy. In the beginning, it was dark with gentle sparkling lights. The colors of the lights were mainly white, and some parts were orange and gold. As I went up higher, I gradually started seeing a blight blue energy group coming close to me (Or, I was moving toward it).

When I entered in the energy group, it turned to sparkling white lights. Some of the lights looked like a firework. Then, I saw some kids were enjoying horseback riding. The horses were shining white with golden lights surrounded by its body. The horses were smaller than normal horses; maybe size of miniature horses, and they had wings. I noticed they gently greeted to me telepathically, they said to me Welcome back and enjoy our energy. I enjoyed everybody’s energy for a while. It was calm and pleasant. I was putting a big smile on my face.

When the time had come for my conscious to go back to my physical body, I quickly asked where I was. Almost simultaneously as I asked the question, the idea of Arcturus came back to my mind. I might have been visiting my family souls in my spiritual homeland. When I had a channeling session with the 17th dimensional beings, they told me my soul is originally from Arcturus.

There are two toughest transitions in life; one is a birth and other is a death. As I mentioned in my earlier article, we are originally spirits in the Universe. Before we were born, we volunteered to be born in the planet Earth to experience under certain conditions. It is a really tough transition for us spirits to have a limited boundary, which is physical body. Therefore, we need help from our family souls to enter to a physical body (which is a birth) and to leave from a physical body (which is a death). That is why we all need certain time frame to arrange and prepare the environment.

Before a birth event, we all have contacted with our parents-to-be even before the conception. During the pregnancy term, we have 9 months to prepare for the transition. Also we need to get ready for the departure from our spiritual homeland.

Same thing can be said for a death event. Even though some souls seem to leave their physical bodies unexpectedly, it is not unexpectedly; it is planned and agreed in advance. In the background which is in the Universe, their family souls know the death event in advance. I feel it takes almost similar duration as pregnancy, which is 9 months or so. When the death event comes closer, we try to contact and inform to our loved ones in advance through our dream state.

I know this from my experiences. My maternal grandfather informed me of his death in advance, when I was still a small child. When I became adult, my maternal aunt informed me of her time in advance. After I moved to America, my husband’s grandfather and grandmother informed me of their time in advance. Their souls communicated me in my dream state. They all told me it was easy for them to visit me, because I was not obsessed with their physical life. They said that it was hard for them to contact their close family member such as their own children because their children loved them so much that they could not let them leave from the physical body. Whenever we cling on something, our spiritual window gets too narrow to receive spiritual messages.

I thought I should share this knowledge with many people. It is important to know that we all have to leave from our physical bodies eventually, when our time have come. When somebody clings on us mentally, it is hard for us to go back to our spiritual homeland. It is anguish for souls that they cannot go back their homeland in the Universe. Especially if we love the person (the soul), we’d better support the soul for its smooth transition back to its homeland in Universe.

This morning and yesterday morning, 2 days straight, I had a dream of attending at somebody’s funeral. I could tell the funeral was for my Japanese family member, but I could not see whose it was. At the funeral, the attendants were calm, talking all the good things about the past one. By listening their conversation, I could guess the past one was loved by many people due to his/her kind personality. Also, I found out it was a sudden death; the person was not hospitalized for many years or anything like that. It probably happened in the house when the person was with somebody else, most likely with his/her family member.

When I woke up, I thought of my father. The idea got stronger and stronger to the extent where I could not hold my tears. I quickly called my parents in Japan. My father answered the phone, and he sounded calm and normal. After short conversation, he passed the phone to my mother. When I mentioned about my dream to her, she said it could be her. She originally has a weak heart, and she always feels about her death from a sudden heart attack.

I am not sure if my dream was a precognitive one or just showing my unconscious concern. All in all, my dream brought us a good solution. I finally decided to go back to Japan to visit my parents. My mother and I have some issues that had prevented me from visiting them for a while. I could not go back to Japan for more than 5 years.

I am very looking forward to seeing them. When I see them again, I will hug them and tell them how much I love them, and I appreciate for their love and support. My mother and I agreed that this trip will be my last trip to Japan. I cannot explain exactly why, but I strongly feel that. So, I am going to cherish every moment of this trip so that I won’t have any regrets at all about my home county Japan.

Before we were reincarnated to the planet Earth, we all had existed somewhere in the Universe as spirits. The spirits have many layers of different levels, depending on the spiritual growth levels, favoritism, and tendency. The upper leveled spirits and the lower leveled spirits usually don’t interfere each other in Universe.

On the other hand, the planet Earth is a unique place where all the different leveled souls can interfere each other. Average humans set their lifetime as around 85 years old or so. It is pretty short term in the perspectives from spirits. In this short term, we can experience different roles in certain situations to experience different types of emotions and feelings by interfering different spiritual leveled souls. I think this is the main purpose that we chose to be born in the planet Earth.

As we live our life, we go through many unpleasant experiences. But always remember, we came here to experience different feelings and emotions for our spiritual growth. Once we learn from different experiences, we can discipline our souls. Also, we can utilize our own experiences in order to help others. Even our family souls (guide spirits) can learn something new by watching us in physical forms.

So, please be proud of yourself. You are strong and brave enough to be born in the planet Earth. Whenever you experience something tough, please know that everything is constantly changing; the environment, other souls, and yourself. No exactly same situation will come back to you. When your time has come to go back to your hometown in Universe (that means your physical death), you will miss all the experiences including good ones and even bad ones.

Everything exists with duality. The opposite two sides may appear in a hostile relationship, but they are just being as they are. It is up to us on how to utilize it.

Before we were born to the planet Earth, we all are spirits, and there are no clear distinction between female/male, old/young, rich/poor, or human race. We all agreed to have certain conditions such as sex and race when we are born to the planet Earth, so that we can play a certain role. With acting such certain roles, we can experience emotions and feelings under certain limited situations. We came here the planet Earth to experience lots of stuff.

An event itself is neutral. It happens with certain purposes, and it is up to us to consider the event as a curse or as a blessing. We all are equally provided Free Will anytime at any situation on how to react to the event.

For example, I was diagnosed as severe diabetic two years ago. If I take this as a cures, I would blame my environment living in America. When I was living in Japan, I never could finish 1 can of pop, because it is too sugary for me. After I started living in America, every time I was invited to a cookout dinner, they offered me several pops. I naturally started drinking pop for my substitute of drinking water. I ended up drinking at least three pops a day. As a result of such bad habit, I became a severe diabetic. Plus, I gained more than 10 pounds. Then, I realized that I always had an option to choose water rather than pop, or to choose healthy foods rather than junk and easy foods.

When I decided to take this as a blessing, I stopped blaming, and I started feeling lighter and happier. I started switching my eating and drinking habit into healthier choices. I have started enough exercise every day. With showing my effort to regain my good health, I can contribute to my family for their good health.

When we make a wrong choice, take it as a blessing because we can learn from the mistake. We can make a smarter choice on next time, and we can share our knowledge with our friends and family.

Today, I attended at Self Defense class. The instructor emphasized on the importance of our mental status. We need to show our mental strength in order to avoid becoming a victim. The criminals are searching for victims who don’t fight back to them. The instructor taught us a mantra; “I am strong and brave”. He encouraged us to say this mantra out loud so that we can switch our mental status into a strong and brave mode. This class reminded me of my younger days.

When I started visiting America alone, I was pretty naïve. I was too nice to say “NO” to people whenever they asked me some favors. In natural reactions to my vulnerability, many people took advantage from me in many ways. I got hurt mentally and lost a big amount of money.

One of such days, I got bitten by a dog on my left cab. The dog’s teeth got into my skin. I didn’t go to the hospital because I thought it would heal by itself. In contradiction to of my expectation, my left cab got worse and worse. After the two weeks from the incident, my left cab was swollen more than twice as my right cab, which is normal side. Then, I finally went to the hospital and I was treated for the dog’s infection.

Now that I thought back about the incident, I think it happened to me in order to inform me of my vulnerability.  It was so obvious to people that I was off guard those days. I attracted those people to use me for their convenient ways. And the dog warned me in a rough way.

It is still hard for me to say NO to people, but now, at least I am aware that I need to stay being mentally strong so as to protect myself and my loved ones.

In order to stay being mentally strong, first, we have to love ourselves and know how precious we are. Second, be aware there are always somebody who loves us. Stay safe for your loved ones.

Many people struggle to try to change others. But we don’t have any rights or ability to change others. Luckily, there is a solution. We have an ability to change our vibration level. By shifting our vibration level to a higher level than where we are now, the environment will be shifted to a higher vibration. Then, others close to you will be benefited from you, resulting in shifting their vibration to a higher level as well.

Here is a method to raise our vibration level.

1. Stop complaining about anything.

……Such as about your spouse, kids, pets, and environments or situations.

2. Think about all the good things around you, and appreciate them.

……Small things will do. For example, to the environment, you might appreciate to the nice clear sky, or beautiful snow, or gentle winds. To your family, you might appreciate of their healthy being or their kindness. By the way, small kids are really helpful to raise our vibration. You don’t need to have small kids in your family. Whenever you meet small kids, smile at them or wave at them. They will smile back to you or wave back to you. Listen to their laughter. They have special power to raise our vibration. Animals are the same way; they are willing to help us to raise our vibration level. You can be creative on how to raise your vibration. It might be fun to share the methods with your family and friends.

3. Smile a lot, laugh a lot. Dance and sing. Greet to your family, neighbors, and coworkers. Your vibration will be shifted upward. Then, you are ready to receive something very nice, because high vibration attracts happiness.

Let’s enjoy every moment. When we keep our vibration in a high and happy level, we are contributing to the world peace, without knowing by ourselves.
