I am currently working on the book proposal. The content of the book is the importance of achieving the world peace. I would like to share my story why I think achieving the world peace is critical.

On this lifetime, I was born with some memories of my previous lifetimes. I know we are supposed to delete all the past lives’ memories before we were born. However, this lifetime was exceptional for me. I didn’t delete the memories on purpose. Because the memories are key reason why I am here right now.

When I was small, I didn’t like seeing the certain types of foreigners on the television or movies. Just watching them made me puke with a very bad headache. My parents didn’t know the reason why I reacted like that. But I knew deep inside, that it came from my traumatic memories from one of the past lives. There were hardly no foreigners at the area where I grew up, so that I was confident that this was not the traumatic events on this lifetime.

In the past lives, the people massacred all of my tribal people. They killed all of us because of the fear. My tribal people had lived peacefully with well-balanced relationships with the nature. The invaders scared of us because we could communicated with natural energies.

In my personal belief, people do bad things to fellow humans from the wrong concepts. Humans repeated the history of war. Fighting one another over the resources that they wrongly thought it had a limitation. Humans killed one another because of jealousy.     

But the truth is that we can create the resources. Possibility in creativity is limitless. The Universe can provide everything we need. When we fully understand that we are all unique existences with unique gifts, we will love ourselves.

I have been meditating about the methods on how we can contribute to the world peace. I have seen a vision that it is achievable when a large number of people work on together. I would like to share the 5 easy steps on how to contribute to the world peace in my first book. The steps are simple and easy that everybody can take in our daily life.

This year was a tough year for my husband. He went through lots of challenges. Although the tough events happened to him, my daughter and I also suffered from the toughness as his family.

I had been so frustrated with my husband in observing him. I wanted to change him so badly. I kept on thinking to myself that I would have done better if I were him. However, deep inside of me, I knew I am not allowed to force him to change his ways.

In such days, my family souls kept on sending me one vision. The vision was a story of The North Wind and the Sun. In this story, the North Wind and the Sun had a test to decide which is the stronger of the two. The test was to make a passing traveler remove his coat. Although The North Wind brew so hard, the traveler didn’t remove the coat. Instead, the traveler started clinging on to the coat even harder. On the other hand, when the Sun shone, the traveler soon took his coat off by himself.

The lesson of this story is “Kindness effects more than severity.”

Nobody has the rights to force to change others. Because everybody has their own divine timing to change themselves or learn something on their own. All the challenges happen to them for reasons. Nobody has the rights to take the opportunities away from the person to learn something precious.

We can change only ourselves. If we really want to change somebody, the only way that we can do is to show the person ourselves shining with happiness and confidence. Just like The Sun did in the story. We can keep on shining to the person, then the person eventually might decide to change.

After I have fully understood the moral lesson from The North Wind and the Sun, all the tough challenges and situations for my husband finally have started calming down.

By the way, I found a great Youtube video of this story.

I think I have spiritual connection with a bear spirit.

My first contact with a bear spirit was in 2007. I attended the workshop conducted by the Brazilian Shaman to meet our power animal. The Shaman guided the participants to a spiritual journey with her prayer and drumming.

When I entered the deep meditation state, a big bear showed up in front of me. The bear spirit introduced himself as my power animal. When I shared my vision with the Brazilian Shaman, she told me that the bear spirit had been supporting me for my healing ability. However, in those days I had not recognized my healing ability yet. So, naturally I have almost forgotten about my bear power animal since then.

For some reasons, in this year, the bear spirit came back to me to get my attention. We had a Navajo traditional healing ceremony in June 2016. During listening the Navajo chant, I kept on having a clear vision of a bear spirit coming to me, over and over again. After the ceremony I shared my vision with the Navajo medicine man. He said the bear spirit was representing the protection for me.

Since the healing ceremony, my bear spirit started frequently visited me in my dream. However, I haven’t heard any specific messages from this bear spirit so far yet. One thing for sure is that every morning when I had the bear spirit visiting my dream, I would wake up smiling. Maybe the bear spirit is happy for me for something. Or the bear spirit has been helping me to bring happiness to me. I don’t know.

I think it is okay if we don’t receive any specific message in our dreams. We can just enjoy the visitors in our dreams.

Yesterday we had a thanksgiving cerebration. In Japan, we don’t have a Thanksgiving Day, so this tradition is still new to me. I think it is a great opportunity to show appreciations to others. My daughter came back from school with one paper. The paper was filled up with all the appreciations she has. She wrote down lots of sentences starting from I am thankful for xxx because xxxx.

That reminds of one stranger woman whom I encountered. It was several years ago. On that day, my daughter asked me to buy her ice cream, so we entered the ice cream store. After we ordered some ice cream cones and we were about to pay it by a credit card, the store owner told us they didn’t take any credit cards. I didn’t carry any cash with me and we were disappointed for not being able to buy the ice cream. On the next second, a stranger woman standing next to us offered the store owner that she would like to pay the cost for us.

I asked her the reason why she was nice to us, just from my curiosity.

She said “just because” with a smile. And she told us she was thankful for us for providing her to be nice to somebody. She said it made her feel good to be nice to somebody.

When we are nice to somebody from the state of “just because”, the action comes from pure desire to make somebody happy and it is without any expectations from the person. I think it is the key when we do something nice to somebody.

So, my small suggestion. Let’s make somebody happy from the state of just because, at least once a day. Even a tiny small action will be good. Although we cannot see the result soon, our pure desire will be accumulated, and the pure kind energy will grow itself big enough to change the world to the better place eventually.

And, when somebody offers us a small happiness, let’s receive it without hesitation. In order to make this cycle available, we need both a giver and a receiver. When we receive something, our receiving action supports the giver, and vice versa. Let’s enjoy the happiness giving and receiving. Happy Thanksgiving to you all!

Today we celebrated Thanksgiving dinner with my friends and their neighbors.

During the dinner, our topic was about makeup. I usually don’t put makeup on my face. My last time putting makeup on my face was when I was in my 20s. My friends, who are both Mexicans, love to put makeup. One of them wants to be a cosmetic advisor and she wanted to practice on someone to put makeup.

So, they decided to put makeup on my face. I was curious how I would change. My friends also curled my hair. The process of changing myself was fun. Two of my friends and I had a great time together.

After putting makeup on my face and curled my hair, I looked like a different person. My face in the mirror was totally stranger to me. All the people in the house told me that I looked beautiful, and they liked me in the makeup version.

I admit I look prettier with makeup. However, in my honest feeling, I don’t like myself in makeup. I didn’t like the feeling that I am not being myself. My husband and my daughter told me they like my original face without makeup.

PS. On the following morning, I woke up with several bumps in my face. My skin normally does not have rush nor acnes. I guess my face does not like makeup neither.

All in all, the experience was fun and beneficial for me. With the experience, now I know my skin does not like putting makeup, so I won’t do it anymore.

When I was young, I was very short tempered. I used to easily get mad. While I was mad, I could not control my mouth and said something unnecessary to the other person. When I came back home, I would regret for saying that to the person.

My dad knew about my short temper. He admitted he was also short tempered in his younger days. He had same experiences as I did. He would regret after he said something to others.

He shared his secret technique with me. It goes like this.

Whenever I am about to say something from anger, I should swallow the statement before I say it out. Then, I should leave the place for a moment. I should go somewhere away from the person, and take a deep breath several times until I fully calm myself to the natural state. After coming back home, I should talk about it to somebody whom I can fully trust. I should then ask for their advice if the remark is necessary to convey or not. If the remark is necessary to convey, then on the following day, preferably in the morning, I should convey the remark to the person, in a calm voice tone, with a gentle smile on my face. I should make the remark concise and to the point.

The important thing is not to say anything in an anger state. When we say something from anger, we tend to slip the tongue. We might hurt somebody unexpectedly.

It is a good idea to marinade the angry statement for one night. The following morning, the marinated statement gets more reasonable than the previous day. But when we say something to the person in a calm state, then the statement can become an assertive statement. An assertive statement brings to a win-win situation for both parties.

From my personal experience, short temper will be improved as we age. I can say that because my short temper has been much improved than before. I am not still perfect, but I am at least trying not to say anything from anger. So, if you are still young and suffering from short temper, please rest assured it will calm down as you go through years and experiences.

Yesterday was my 10th small business meeting. In this meeting, I updated about the small business expo that I participated two weeks ago, to my business mentor. I described about the totally stranger customers. Some of them were very skeptical. But after the session, they said they liked my session. Or, I should say they liked the messages from their angels. All in all, I enjoyed participating at the small business expo.

My business mentor was happy for me about my first step to the public. He encouraged me to stay being myself, under any kinds of circumstances. He also confirmed that people are smart. They will find out what kind of person I am. I am offering my services from my pure desire to help people. He said, as long as I stay being myself, people can feel my sincere desire.

I like his positive perspectives about people. I can tell he loves humans. It is always good to hear something positive about humans. When we always see humans from a positive perspective like he does, we can attract more nice and kind people toward us. And the positive atmosphere can be contagious, keeping expanding wider and wider.

I feel honored to get to know my business mentor. I appreciate his great idea and advice throughout the meeting.

I personally had a tendency to feel scared of people. And now, thanks to the help of my business mentor, I have been in the healing process. I have started trusting people and liking people more than before. In my image, I used to have an ice wall surrounded by me toward people. Now, thanks to my business mentor’s positive perspective to people, my ice wall has been melting down.

For about ten years before I moved to America, I had been working as a freelance translator and interpreter. The great opportunity came to me all of a sudden. In 2005 and 2006, I was hired as an interpreter for the Lakota tour for three times.

My employer was a Japanese man who had built a friendship with a Lakota man for years. He had started a tour for Japanese customers so that they can visit Lakota land and learn their culture and traditional ways.

This Japanese man was also a friend of my dad-in-law. While I was visiting my Navajo family in 2004, he visited my dad-in-law. That was how I met my future employer. During the conversation, he mentioned about his Lakota tour and he was looking for an interpreter for the following year. I instantly raised my hand for the job title, and he hired me right away. I was at the right place at the right timing.

Up until then, I had some experiences working as an interpreter for some manufacture companies to explain their products. In these cases, I already knew about the products. I started feeling comfortable for the job title.

However, I thought, the interpreting for a tour was totally different. Although I was the one who raised my hand for this job offer, as days were getting closer to the tour, I had started feeling nervous about it. Interpreting for the Lakota tour was my very first experience, anyway.

During the tour, I had kept on feeling nervous. I didn’t have confidence in my English language ability. Especially when I encountered some words that I didn’t know the meaning, I would feel panicky. I had kept on praying and asking for help to my family souls and spirits. Over and over again.

One night during the tour, we had a sweat lodge ceremony. During the ceremony, I kept on seeing the vision of the blue happy light jumping around. They kept on sending me the messages “stop praying. Stay being yourself.”

Interesting enough, after the ceremony, the Lakota man who conducted the sweat lodge ceremony came up to me and whispered the messages from Spirits for me. It was like this.

Stop praying to us for support. We chose you for this job. You are the chosen one. Just stay being who you are. As long as you relax, it is easy for us to convey messages through you to other people. When you get nervous and keep asking for support, it gets in the way.

It was true. I was dominated by ego. My ego kept on telling me that I had to do well on this job. I felt overwhelmed and pressured. I must have had a stiff muscle all over my body. After getting this message, I finally started feeling relaxed, and let ego go. Then I started doing better than the previous days.

This can be applied to everybody, right? When we want to do something well, first, we need to release our ego. Once we release our ego, everything will finally start flowing more smoothly than before.

One day, two of my friends took me to a coffee shop. The waitress had a long hair. She divided her hair into two, and braided to the front. The edge of the braided hair was in front of her chest area. When she brought the coffee to us, we all saw her hair was dipped to our coffee cups.

The waitress seemed like she didn’t notice that. She gently smiled at us, put our coffee on the table, and bowed to us politely, and left the table.

I was upset. I didn’t want to drink the coffee. When I was about to call the waitress to ask to replace the coffee, two of my friends gently stopped me doing so.

My friends told me the waitress didn’t do so on purpose. And she seemed like very busy. They didn’t want to embarrass her by calling her and asking for replacing the coffee. They told me in their gentle voice tone, it is not a big deal. Instead of spending time for being mad or complaining and blaming the waitress, let’s enjoy coffee and our conversation.

And, in the next instant, they started drinking the coffee as if nothing happened. After struggling for several seconds in my mind, I decided to let it go. And I started drinking coffee and enjoying the conversation with my friends.

This happened right before I moved to America, November 2008. Although it was long time ago, I still remember about this experience.

I consider this experience as a precious teaching from my friends. I learned on how to be kind to others, in this case, the waitress. But the truth is that I learned on how to be kind to myself.

At that time, three of us had an option to get upset with the waitress and asked for the replacement of the coffee. But we chose the other option. We chose the option to let it go and enjoy the moment. We chose to be kind to others as well as to ourselves.

Whenever we get upset or mad, our vibration instantly gets lowered. Being mad is not good at our body, mind, and spirit.

It can be applied to everybody in any situations. We might encounter a rude casher at the grocery store. We might be treated in a rude way from somebody. Whenever we can choose an option to forgive the rude person instead of getting mad at the person, we have chosen the option to be kind to the person as well as to ourselves. Let’s take good care of ourselves. And being kind to others makes us feel good too. Most of time, it is not a big deal. We can let it go. We can forgive others.

When I was pregnant with my daughter, I had experienced something unusual. For some reasons, my five senses; sight, hearing, touch, smell, and taste, had become much keener than ever.

During pregnancy, I could not stand for the smell of animal meat. I could barely cook or eat any kinds of animal meat. Instead, I was craving to eat lots of vegetables and fruits.

Among all, especially my hearing had gone extreme level. I felt like, a tiny imaginary person living in my ear turned up the speaker volume in my ear to the maximum level. I was irritated to strangers’ conversation in the store or in the neighborhood area.

I started experienced the keen sixth sense too.

One day, I was on my way home from the OB-GYN checkup. The doctor was not nice at all, and I was irritated at everything. I was not in a happy state at all. Then, while I was waiting for the signal, one military vehicle passed by in front of me.

All of a sudden, I felt warm and gentle energy coming from the military vehicle. I was embraced by the warm energy. Tears came down on my cheeks. I didn’t know what was going on. All I knew was somebody in the military vehicle had a huge gentle aura and embraced me. The person generously emitted healing energy to everybody including me. That was how I felt.

Then I noticed my irritation was gone. I was filled with happiness and love for some reasons. After I run into the military vehicle, I was putting a smile on my face. I spent for the rest of the afternoon in a good mood.

When my husband came back home in the evening, he told me he passed by my car on that day. He said he waved at me, but I didn’t notice him waving. I asked my husband when and where he passed by me and what kind of vehicle. Then I noticed it was my husband who was driving the military vehicle.

It was my very first time when I clearly felt the energy field by my skin. It was awesome. It was baby’s miraculous power to help me to feel my husband’s energy field several feet away.
