Winter solstice fortune telling 12/22/2023

Today was the winter solstice. I did the EKI fortune telling as the traditional way that our Japanese ancestors used to follow in the winter solstice morning. I used 6 coins for the fortune telling. The result told me that I should be generous next year by treating people and giving away free things including my services and actual gifts. It tells that I would be investing for the future. It is like a pay-forward for the future. I liked the result and I will follow the advice.

Annuity sales data input 12/21/2023

I prepared for the application form for my husband to rollover his old company’s 401K account to an annuity product. There were lots of items that I needed to input. It took almost all day for me to research and input the necessary data. I am glad that we have waited for the right timing as the figure in the 401K has finally been recovering from the disaster during the covid days.

Monthly palmist group lesson 12/20/2023

I woke up early in the morning in order to attend the monthly palmist group lesson. The instructor delayed the staring time from 4 a.m. to 5 a.m., which was very helpful for me. I decided to take care of my body next year. When the group lesson stars at 4 a.m., I should not dare to attend but wait for the recording instead. I made up my mind to take care of my body and spirit and take it easy next year.

Swollen gum 12/19/2023

I woke up with pain in my gum. The gum on the upper left, next to the last molar tooth was swollen. It was the place where the dentist took off the wisdom tooth. I tasted bitterness around the swollen gum area and numbness in the lips. I think it was from the leftover feeling at the time of wisdom tooth extraction. I made a cleansing water with calendula mother tincture and started rinsing the mouse frequently throughout the day.  

Modern orthodontics 12/17/2023

My daughter had the routine checkup of her orthodontics. It has been almost 2 years since she has started it. The orthodontist said it would be another 6 months or so for her to complete it. Then she will be wearing a retainer. According to the orthodontist, the retainer will be for life. I don’t know exactly what the modern type of retainer. When I had the retainer after wearing the braces, I was instructed to wear the retainer only for 2 years. I believe the modern retainer is in much higher quality than the old aged ones.

Challenging the ability of braveness and intelligence 12/16/2023

My neighbor recently had a new dog. He said he received it as a surprise birthday gift from his girlfriend. They named the puppy Meko.

Her name means strong, brave, and being a winner. Also it has the meanings of smart and intelligent. I have seen the puppy being escaped from his back yard often. I think the puppy likes to escape from the backyard to challenge her abilities of being brave and smart.  

Dine Bizaad class, the third 12/15/2023

In the evening at 7 p.m., I attended Dine Bizaad class. It was their third class. Tonight they taught us on how to introduce themselves in Navajo. There were so many questions, and the MC and the instructor were so nice that they tried to answer each single question, the class was extended to more than 2 hours. It was a fun class. I appreciate the MC and the instructor to offer such a wonderful opportunity to learn Navajo and their culture.

Annuity products research 12/14/2023

Today I devoted my whole day in researching the best annuity product for my husband. He wants to roll over his 401K to an annuity product. I have been waiting for the right timing to roll over. The amount of 401K has been recovering recently. And the annuity company offers a good rate of bonus. When I purchased their product on March 2021, the bonus rate was 4%, but now it is increased to 12%.

The meaning of a sneeze 12/13/2023

Today I watched the recording of the first Dine Bizaad class presented by my Navajo friend last week. It was a pretty good class. One of the attendees asked a question on how to say “bless you” after somebody sneezes. The instructor answered Navajos don’t say anything to a person who has sneezed, because sneezing means somebody else is thinking of the person or talking about the person.

Interestingly we have the same way of thinking in Japan. When somebody sneezes, it is considered somebody is thinking of the person or talking about the person, but we don’t have a specific response to a person who just have sneezed.

I believe that the similarity between Japanese and Navajos lays in our spiritual awareness. Both of our antient ancestors have the high ability to telepathically communicate each other regardless of physical distance. When somebody talks about a specific person, or even just thinks of a person, the person could feel by the sense of etheric body. Because we are originally one soul, we, as the humans living in the modern age, we can still sense the feeling by sneezing.
