I posted my favorite picture in the Home page in this webpage. The picture was taken on December 30th 1998, when I visited Navajoland for the first time in this lifetime.

When I stood up in Window Rock, that is Navajo nation’s capital, I heard a group of spirits’ voice saying “Welcome back!” to me, and I was embraced spiritually. I started crying. Not for sadness, but for happiness. My soul resonated to this land’s energy. I realized how much I had missed this land, and I was assured that I had lived on this land many lifetimes before.

Then my boyfriend-at-that-time took my picture in front of Navajo president’s office. The picture showed a rainbow energy on my left shoulder.

Although I had thought this rainbow as my family souls, recently, one psychic friend told me that it was actually my own rainbow-like energy.

My horoscope teacher mentioned that human’s left side represents the energy of “The Fool” in Tarot card. “The Fool” represents the energy of being free, an adventurer without fear, taking steps prompted by passion, and searching for unknown potential. Also, human’s left side represents the unconscious realm, the higher dimensions, and another world. When a person’s left side energy gets stronger than the right side, the person needs to train to be grounded; otherwise the person would have gone too far to spiritual realm and cause the person hard to live daily life normally on the planet Earth.

Up until now, many people described me as these attributes. I guess I need to train myself to well-grounded so that I can well blend in to the daily life.

You may already have heard a prediction that a huge change will occur all over the world on September 22nd, 2016. It does not necessary on the specific day of fall equinox, but this day can be considered as the trigger point of the change.

When I think about a world leveled change, I cannot think anything but a change in money system. That reminded me of the Japanese card game called “Dai-fu-gou” (大富豪).

For this game, we use 52 cards along with 1 Joker. The players can be 4 – 8 people. First, we distribute the cards to the players. Then, players take turns to send cards in front of everybody. A player has to send stronger cards than the previous player’s cards. As for the strength of the cards, Joker is the most powerful card of all, 2 is the second strongest, and 3 is the weakest of all. To the strongest to the weakest sequence goes like this; Joker > 2 > A > K > Q > ･･･ > 4 > 3. The player who can send out all the cards is a winner. During the game, if somebody sends out 4 matched cards, a revolution occurs. The strength sequence becomes opposite, that is, 3 becomes the strongest, and 2 becomes the weakest.

This game tells us two technique that we can utilize in our daily life. First technique is to let go of what we have at the right timing as soon as possible. We should not keep holding something more than we need. As lighter as we get in our possession, we get closer to be a winner. Another technique is to get ready for a revolution. We should not cling on anything, especially the current system. In the current world, money plays an important role to judge who is the richest and who is the poorest. However, just one revolution can turn over our current value system.

In the ancient days when our ancestors did not have a money system, they used to exchange something they had. Some people exchanged their agricultural products with somebody’s furniture. Some people exchanged their paintings with somebody’s clothes. Our special gifts and abilities can be anything. Some people are good at making people laugh. Others are good at organizing things or ideas, and there are some people who are good at motivating people. There gifts and abilities are not visible but still, very important. Let’s think about what we can offer to exchange, in case of a revolution in the money system. I believe everybody has their own unique gifts and abilities to contribute to others.

I would like to share a helpful tip when we meditate. Many people think the meditation is simply to receive and being passive. I used to mediate to listen and receive messages from spirits.

This method is not wrong at all, but my family souls told me that we can also communicate with spirits in both ways. We can receive their message, and at the same time, we can send our request to the Universe.

So, please try this out when you meditate next time. When you reach to the higher dimension, send out what you want to create. For example, if you are looking for your life partner, create a clear vision where you and your future partner living together, laughing, and sharing nicely, and send the vision to the Universe. This vision should be as vivid and clear as possible.

I believe everything can be created. Our thoughts are the starter of creating everything. Let’s stay being creative for our better future. When we keep ourselves in a happy state, we can share the happiness with our family, relatives, friends, and many more people.

I came to this life with certain memories from past lives. Generally, most of us choose to delete all our memories from past lives right before we were born to this planet Earth. The reason is simple. Without memories, we can experience/learn things as new experiences, and that is convenient for our growth. However, certain people deliberately chose to bring certain memories for certain purposes. I am one of them.

When I was small, probably 3-5 years old, I used to tell my mother that I would marry to a Native American man. It would be either Navajo or Apache. I would live this life as two sections; the first section would be in Japan, and the latter section would be in America.

On the other side of the world, in America, my husband did the same. When he was small, he used to tell his mom that he would marry to a Japanese woman. His mom still remembers that. When we met each other in March 1999, my husband saw me glowing, and he instantly noticed I was the right one for him.

After I married to my husband, my memory has started coming back to me. I often have flashbacks of our past lives. Some memories are so vivid that I sometimes confuse to figure it out whether it is an ongoing event in real life or a memory from past lives. Some people told me it was not healthy and I should not live with the memories of past lives. I don’t agree with these opinions. In my case, it was important to bring certain memories so that I can take care of some unfinished businesses.

In the universe, time and space do not exist. On the other hand, the planet Earth has concepts of time and space. And interestingly enough, the planet Earth and Universe are closely connected. Whenever we think, do, and interact with others on the planet Earth, we can rewrite our past life memories that are stored in the Universe. We all are equally provided opportunities to rewrite our past, present, and future.

Now I completely understand why I chose to bring some past life memories. I am not obsessed with the past life memories; instead, I am using these memories for my better understandings about universal rules. And I am rewriting my memories into better and happier ones, every moment.

I am from a nice family, and my parents raised me with their full love. But still, since I was small, I had always felt isolated. I still remember that I told my mother “I miss my family, and I want to go back to my home.” My mother replied back to me “I am your mother, and this is your home.” When she said that, she looked sad. So, I decided not to tell that to her any more.

I brought some memories when I was born; such memories are that I came from other star to the planet Earth, and that some of my family souls are reincarnated in other countries. I knew I would need to go out (travel a lot) to find my spiritual family souls in other countries. In order to do that, I would need to be independent from my parents as soon as possible. For my true happiness, I would need to go far away from my biological parents. Also, interesting enough, both of my natal horoscope chart and my palm lines indicate that.

When I turned to 21 years old, I started living alone. On the first night when I slept alone, separated from my family, I felt lonely. At the same time, I knew I needed to be strong and independent. Living alone was just a small baby step for my growth.

It was only recently, 2-3 years ago, my family souls let me see one scenery. During my meditation, I was guided to a white, blank space. It was the middle world where some people consider it as the 5th dimension, Akashic record library, where time and space don’t’ exist.

It was before I was born to the planet Earth. My family souls were searching for my parents-to-be. One of my family souls knew my maternal aunt’s soul. Through my aunt’s soul, we were introduce to my mother’s soul. My mother’s soul accepted to have me as her daughter in this life. My mother’s soul promised to my family souls that she would keep me safe, and when the time has come, she would let me go far away from her, for my true growth and happiness. My life with my biological family was like participating a home stay program for a certain time period. I believe I am not the only one. Many people spend some time frame like that, with a volunteered host family in a home stay program.

Now I am with my spiritual family; my husband and our daughter. I feel strong spiritual connection with them so that I don’t feel lonely anymore. I appreciate my biological family for their support to let me go and find my true spiritual family.

I watched the movie Everest. This movie is based on the real event of the 1996 Mount Everest disaster. I was so excited when I saw a Japanese woman among the team. When she reached the summit of Mount Everest, she took out a Japanese flag from her backpack and said Arigatou. When I saw the flag and heard her saying Arigatou, tears came out from my eyes. To me, Arigatou is to express and appreciation as well as to send out a positive prayer and a positive energy.

Arigatou is a Japanese appreciation word. It is written “有り難う”. “有り” means “its existence”, and “難う” means “rare and valuable”, so the direct translation of “有り難う” is “its existence is rare and valuable”.

Arigatou also has spiritual meanings. We can exist with the help of many people, all other creatures, and many invisible spirits. We can exist not only with the help of many people such as parents, relatives, ancestors, but also with the supports of plants, other animals, and fish. And of course, we are always surrounded by our family souls. They are invisible, but super powerful. Nobody can live all by ourselves without all these help and support.

That being said, our existences are rare and valuable. Everything, everybody, every moment that we encounter is rare and valuable.

Arigatou to everything to let us exist in this moment. Thank you to everything, everybody, every spirit.

Yesterday, I mentioned about the meaning of our name. Our name has significant meaning to us and we should not ignore it. Although I stated the significance of our names, it was only recently when I actually recognized the significance of my name. I would like to share one of my personal experiences regarding my name.

In my 20s and 30s, I had traveled many different foreign countries. I was not interested in staying luxurious hotels, enjoying shopping, nor eating at nice restaurants. All my interests were in making new friends in the local area in foreign countries. So, it was pretty natural for me to stop attending a packed tour, but started visiting foreign countries by myself. I would stay at the youth hostels where they used to offer a very reasonable price for a night. Even in Sedona, I used to stay at the hostel where the owner charged me only $5 per night. It was available 18 years ago, but the hostel in Sedona does not exist anymore in 2016.

During my adventure days (years) travelling around the world as a backpacker, I had many foreigner friends. Most of them had a hard time to remember my name. They could not pronounce my name properly. One of my American friend asked me to give me a nickname. I accepted the nickname and started using the nickname. It was so simple that many foreigner friends easily remember and pronounce. The nickname is a common name as a pet dog’s name.

In such days, sometime in 2005, it was before my husband and I started dating, my husband’s grandmother told me I should stop using my nickname to respect my real name. I still clearly remember about that. Those days, I still felt comfortable using my nickname so that I didn’t make effort in switching back to my real name.

Then, many years later have passed. When I became a wife and a mother, my husband’s grandmother’s voice came back to me in my head. At that time, she was already passed away. Her sprit voice told me to switch back to my real name. This time, her voice made me realized that I really should respect my real name.

When I think back of my younger days when I used my nickname, the nickname matched to me in those days. I was a free spirit without any responsibilities. I could do anything, go anywhere. The nickname helped me staying as an anonymous.  That is why the nickname (pet’s name) fit to my energy.

I am now back to my original path that I planned before I came to this life. I am responsible for my family and my life. I understand I am a precious being. I am proud on using my real name that has significant meanings to me.

Before we were born, most of us had contacted our parents-to-be. And some parents-to-be who are energy sensitive can catch the visit. In my case, obviously I visited my grandfather-to-be, and he caught my life intention. My grandfather named me and it fits to my current situation along with my life purpose for this lifetime.

I would like to share the story of my daughter. My husband proposed me for a marriage in July 2007 while I was visiting Arizona. Right after I came back to Japan and went back to my routine life, the memorable event happened. I was working for a water heater company as a translator at that time.  At the lunch break, I went to the closest park and opened my lunch box. It was a beautiful sunny day.

All of a sudden, I heard the high pitched sound inside my ear. It often happens to me to change the dimension. It is a sign for sprits to talk to me. So, whenever it happens, I would stop whatever I am doing and open my heart and listen to them.

I saw (or felt, I should say) a gentle and happy energy (spirit) visiting me. The spirit sent me a block of thoughts. The spirit was so happy for me of my husband’s marriage proposal. The spirit would come to us as our daughter after I move in America with my husband. Then, the spirit showed me the Japanese name and asked me to give her the name. I quickly jotted down the name. Right after the spirit disappeared, my friend came to me and joined me the lunch, so I told her everything what I just experienced.

My husband visited me in Japan and we officially married. After the nine months for an immigrant visa procedure, I moved to America. Then, three months later, I was pregnant with my daughter. I gave her the name she asked me on her previous visit.

I see a green grass field. Among them there is one tall flower standing. The flower seems like a natural leader. It keeps on sharing its gentle but powerful energy. The flower is always smiling, being cheerful, passionate, and funny. I see my daughter like this flower. The meaning of her name matches with her energy.

So, please think about your name. You might be the one who asked your parents-to-be to give you the specific name. What does your name mean? What is the impression from your name? When you meditate, ask your family souls about your name. You might be surprised of your deep intention hidden in your name.

When I was in my late 20s, I often visited my boy-friend-at-that-time in Marina Del Ray, CA. He was the one who brought me to Navajoland. We visited Navajoland together three times. We broke up after our third visit to Navajoland.

After I broke up with him, I noticed a strong passion in me to visit Navajoland again. But in the past three visits, he was my interpreter and guide, and I fully depended on his help. I didn’t think I could do it by myself, without his help.

In such days, my friend really encouraged me to visit Navajoland by myself. She used to tell me “don’t think too much; just follow your passion”.

When I listened to my gut feeling, aka, passion, it kept on insisting me to visit Navajoland by myself. So, I made my mind to follow my passion.

I flew to Los Angeles with an open air plane ticket. I rented a car close to the airport, went to a store and got a road map. Since GPS was not available in those days, I needed to write down all the directions with the detailed mileages and freeway numbers. Then, I jumped in the car at 4 am in the morning, and drove all the way to Navajoland. After 12-hours’ drive, I arrived at Navajoland, where I was embraced by the land’s gentle energy. This is how my journey to Navajoland has begun.

My friend was right. Sometimes we need to stop thinking hard, but just follow our passion. Our brave action will bring a new path for us in the future.

We all experience certain times when things don’t go as we expect. I would like to share one of my experiences in my younger days.

When I was about graduate from the high school, I wanted to become an attorney, so I decided to go to a university where their specialty was in laws. In Japan, in order to enroll a university, we have to take an entrance exam. And, passing an entrance exam is more difficult than graduating from the university.

I took four entrance exams for the universities of laws. I studied very hard to pass the exams. I thought I did pretty well on these exams, but for some reasons, I failed all of them.

At that time, my high school teacher strongly recommended me to take one university to study English linguistics. It was simply because I always had the highest grade in English in the high school. I did not desire to study English in a university at that time, but I took his advice anyway.

I still clearly remember about the exam day for the University of English major. First, I overslept. Then, I accidently missed taking off at the right train station, ended up to walk extra 20 minutes back to the exam center. When I entered the exam center, I was extremely tired and wanted to go back home as soon as possible. I quickly jotted down my answers in the exam papers and submitted without re-checking. Then again, for some reasons, I passed the last university for English major.

Those days I was still young so that I considered this as a curse. Anyways, I graduated the university and gained my bachelor’s degree in English linguistics.

Many years have passed since then. Now I know this event happened as a blessing, but not as a curse. I was provided the opportunity to study English linguistics, and the knowledge of English linguistics is now beneficial for me to live in America. Now I know clearly the reason why I failed the other exams to become an attorney. I failed the exams because I was not supposed to be an attorney in this life.

So, when things don’t go as we expect, let’s take a deep breath, and relax. We just don’t know at that moment what is the reason why things don’t go as we expect. Eventually it might show another opportunity for us to take, and the new path might turn out a blessing in the future.
