On a one fine day in Liechtenstein, we were strolling near the RhineRiver, and we tried to do the 'Clearing Cloud Game' which we had not done in a while.

In a book that I published 10 years ago called 'Humanics of Hado', I wrote about the Clearing Cloud game that goes like this:

When it was about 50 km away from Sedona, Mr. N, the CEO who sat in the front seat of a rented car suddenly said, “Mr. Emoto, can you see that little cloud over there? Please watch it carefully. I am going to make it disappear”. Mr. K, the CEO, and I were watching the cloud with doubt.

But when 1 minute passed away, the cloud started to change its form, and it got smaller and smaller. In 5 minutes, it was complete gone.

We asked him, “What!? What is going on?” and he said:

“There is a book by Ms. Betty Shine called ‘Spiritual Healing’ and she says that ‘If you direct your mind in a positive way and open up your mind (heighten the energy of your mind), in the vast unseen world, we can extract energy from the unlimited reservoir that is behind this world of reality’.

Then, there were many ways to test and nourish this ability, and this ‘Clearing Cloud Game’ was one of them.

Four main tips for this game are:

1. Try not to do it so hard. If you are so uptight, the energy does not move well.
2. Imagine that there is a leaser beam of energy that is coming out from your mind right into the clouds, and light up parts of the cloud.
3. Say in the past tense that ‘The cloud disappeared.’
4. At the same time, give thanks to the energy by saying ‘Thank you’ again in the past tense (for Japanese).

Interestingly enough, if you do not doubt in any sense that this exercise will work, it always works. Ms. Shine says that ‘there is undeniably a clear connection with affirmative behavior and success / negative behavior and failure’.”

I have repeated this exercise many times, and I gained a title as the ‘Clearing Cloud Man’. I was very good at making the cloud disappear. However, in the last 5 years I was very busy, so I did this after a long interval of time.

As I expected, the cloud did disappear. Please take a look at the pictures below.

Because of the jet lag, I woke up at 3:00 in the morning and in the end, I went to the office that day without falling back to sleep.

Since I was away from the office for 2 weeks, there were certainly many arrangements to be made, and many documents to be read. However, I had to rush through this, because I was scheduled to get on the 11:50 bullet train to Kyoto for the Ichikura Society Management seminar. (Who came up with this schedule, it is killing me! …Oh, it was me)

Ichikura Society is a gathering of managers who respect and support a former charismatic management consultant, Sadamu Ichikura. It is a circle formed by interesting and wonderful people. So even though I was physically tired, 2 hours flew by in a blink, and it seemed that everybody gave me some healing energy.

For the reception dinner, we had a toko-meal (where we eat and drink in the open air, near a river) by the KamoRiver. This was my very first experience. There was a refined atmosphere, and the food and the drink were wonderful. Moreover, I had opportunities to speak with everyone about various things, so I was very glad that they invited me today. Basically, at societies like this where they respect and support ‘so and so’, people are strongly united, which creates a nice ambience. Everyone was resonating to this one respected leader in the center.

The theme for today’s seminar was ‘Imagination is the source of Creation’, and I talked about my experience in Liechtenstein with newly developed images. I was a little worried about how managers might react to words like ‘prayer’, ‘love’ and ‘thanks’, but there were no sense of unease. I imagine that there was something similar in Mr. Ichikura’s teachings.

Through this journey to Kyoto, I felt that lately, more and more people are accepting the ideas of hado (vibration).

My computer has been causing a problem lately, so I could not post any diary entries until now. I apologize for those who visited this homepage several times. Yesterday, I left from ZurichAirport and safely came back to Japan, so I would like to give you a quick report.

First of all, for the events that I described in the diary entry on the 13th, we faced no problem and it ended with a lot of success. Details will be posted by Mr. Yasuyuki Nemoto, who is in charge of Love and Thanks Project (which is found in the content of this homepage) so instead, I would like to tell everyone what I felt through this event.

As one of the expressions that I often use at seminars, there is a phrase that goes ‘Imagination links to creation’. This is what the ceremony was exactly about. When I heard that the RhineRiver runs nearby our institute, this plan flashed in my mind, and I imagined scenes where we gather water from worldwide, mix them all into one, and pour it back to the RhineRiver. Since we went to the actual site, the image was vividly engraved in my mind.

Even though that was 3 months ago, when I told this plan to my staff and when Mr. Nemoto, who works as the officer of Love and Thanks Project, posted this information on the homepage, it was June 18th, only 1 month and a week left until that day.

However, Mr. Nemoto truly understood the vision I pictured in my mind, meaning that he was able to imagine on the same level that I did. So he wrote up a convincing planning statement with pictures on the homepage.

He typed up a lot of writing both in Japanese and English, so I imagine that it took some pains to finish this on time, but he came up with a great document (Please refer to the homepage posted on June 18th).

Therefore, my imagination and Mr. Nemoto’s ability to imagine resonated, and with that, we created and posted the blueprint on the internet. In the end, even though we only had about a month, we received so much water which was more than what we expected, and there were over 150 people who directly brought the water and joined the ceremony.

Of course, on this day, there were many other people from different places who participated in one way or another. So we would say that all these people, including us, became ‘image friends’. In that sense, it is important to tell others about your image in a specific way. Thus, for this event, Mr. Nemoto’s and my image resonated well, which reached everyone, and we were able to attain a fabulous success. Mr. Nemoto, I would like you to keep up with your great work.

And at last, I would like to thank Ms. Ruth Joy, who joined us last year in Israel, and helped us out as volunteers by coming here a week early from Arizona, U.S.A. Ms. Joy, your lead to the Thanks to Water Ceremony was just amazing.

From yesterday I left Japan, and I am here in Liechtenstein again. This one week will be a time for me to write and relax. My wife who flew with me went to Amsterdam, and she will join me on the 15th with my daughter's family. On the 19th, Mr. Otake, Mr. Nemoto, and Mr. Kizu will arrive from Tokyo. They are here to support the Ceremony of Love and Thanks to Water on the 25th. Mr. Nemoto and Mr. Kizu came to Liechtenstein for the very first time, so this will also be an important meeting with Rasmus in order to discuss the matters of business affairs and arrangements.

When I went to the office today, there were already 20 bottles of water from all over the world which were sent just for this ceremony. We will mix all this water into one, send feeling of love and thanks, and then put it back to the RhineRiver nearby. It was a just small notice through the homepage, but I was very happy to find so many bottles of water. There are about 10 more days until the 25th, so we will probably gather about 30 bottles.

At this moment, 2 bottles of water from Japan, 15 from the U.S.A., and 1 each from Canada, Portugal, France, and Leone is what we have.

Now that the institute seems to be getting small, we rented another room in the basement of the same building. We are also planning to move the fridge cells to this room. When they come for next week, there is a lot of physical labor to be done.

Since I truly wanted to present the film, Gaia Symphony No. 5 for the event in November, I called Tatsumura Jin Office and got an appointment for today from 18:00 at a restaurant near Mr. Tatsumura's place. I was about to leave Japan for 2 weeks starting from next Monday, so I asked them 2 days ago if we would meet today, and the request was miraculously fulfilled. And, what's more, it was a dinner with Tatsumura Family and Mr. & Mrs. Emoto.

This is the second time to chat with Mr. Tatsumura. For the first time, the editor of PHP Institute, Tatsuya Okubo introduced us, and I believe that was about 6 years ago. Unlike me, Mr. Tatsumura never drinks, but just in that 2 hours, we completely got along. This was because during the two hours, the topic of the conversation centered on rugby, which was the sport we played in college.

He is 3 years older than me, and was a rugby player in KyotoUniversity, while I was a rugby player in Yokohama-shiUniversity. So Mr. Tatsumura's level was higher, but we got into talking about our position as the backs, and for the whole 2 hours, we discussed mostly about rugby. This is why I call him Tatsumura-senpai (a title for respecting older people within circles and organizations).

About an year ago, Mr. Tatsumura's wife, Ms. Yukari came to my office with Ms. Susan Osborn, so my wife and I both knew her. I remember at that time that her stomach was getting large and that the baby was due in October of that year. Mr. Tatsumura is 3 years older, and I remember thinking that I wish I didn’t drink as much.

Since then, I met him here and there, but we never fixed an appointment, so this was perhaps a talk we had for the first time in 6 years.

However, the day after the appointment was scheduled, meaning just yesterday, I received an email from a supporter in America, Ms. Yasuko Campbell, and I was surprised yet again by the synchronism.

Dr. Emoto,

For the seminar in September at the UN, with Susan's mediation and Mr. Watanabe of UN Japan club's assistance, we were introduced to Dr. Kazuko Tatsumura, and we decided to have Dr. Tatsumura as our interpreter.

You may be acquainted with Dr. Tatsumura, who uses ki (chi) and energy to heal others.

I am going to meet her at the UN tomorrow...

Best regards,
Yasuko Campbell

Then, while I was away on a trip, my secretary, Mr. Nemoto gave me additional explanation with regards to this mail.

Dear Dr. Emoto and Ms. Yasuko Campbell,

Ms. Yasuko Campbell, thank you for your kind and continuous assistance.

My intuition (with 95% certitude?) tells me that Dr. Kazuko Tatsumura, even though I do not know her directly (I have seen her at events, but I am sure she does not remember me), is Mr. Tatsumura's sister.

On the weekend around July 25th, Ms. Kazuko Tatsumura holds an event called 'Sunrise of Compassion' at Mt.Fuji's Gogome.

At an event on July 28th 2002, I also participated as one of the members. In this event, Ms. Susan Osborn sang a song for us, and Mr. Tatsumura held a talk as well.

As one of the events, there is always a flag ceremony that prays for world peace, and my friends are involved in this as volunteers.

There is an article in Goi Peace Foundation homepage which describes the event on 2002.
http://www.goipeace.or.jp/japanese/activities/news/2002/06.html

Also, this year's 'Sunrise of Compassion' will take place on July 24th and 25th because it is the weekend.
http://www.omoiyarinohi.jp/

Furthermore, Takashi Kubo, who is the officer of the 'Sunrise of Compassion', was present on April 4th at Akaba for Jose Arguelles' solo seminar, and I was introduced to him through a friend, so I am acquainted with him now.

Ms. OT from Hawaii has been good friend of mine for 4 years and lives in Honolulu. She knows Ms. Kazuko Tatsumura very well. With Nakagawa Kiko (Shinkiko ? a true ki energy flow), Ms. OT has connections to Goi Peace Foundation and I think this is how they knew each other.

As shown in the homepage below, Ms. Tatsumura also practices Nakagawa Kiko.
http://www.shinkiko.com/koneticut.html

As a side note, Ms. OT is the woman who said 'Tell hi to Mr. Nemoto' (and Dr. Emoto told me about this.)

*****

Ms. Campbell may not know this, but on the weekend of November 27th -28th, Peace Water Festival (tentatively named) with the sponsor of IHM, will take place as a 2-day event in Tokyo.

We are planning to show Gaia Symphony No. 5 at the venue. So Dr. Emoto is going to meet with Mr. Tatsumura this Saturday, July 10th to decide on this matter (even though things are still up in the air).

We are going to contact Dr. Ervin Laszlo who appears in Gaia Symphony no. 5 and we will negotiate to have him participate in this event. If possible, we want to have the director talk with him on this day.

I want you to keep in mind that most of these things are still not fixed, but because so many things are synchronizing, I just wanted to let you know.

The matters concerning Mr. Tatsumura and Dr. Laszlo, and Mr. Emoto's appointment, took its course just as of yesterday.

This is just for your information.
Yasuyuki Nemoto

I was just astonished, but I was sure that this dinner with Mr. & Mrs. Tatsumura will bring successful progress not just with the issue of screening Gaia Symphony, but with something more.

And this was how it turned out. As a result, I gained full support from Mr. & Mrs. Tatsumura for the event in November and if possible, they promised us that they will introduce people who took part in Gaia Symphony.

Now, it will be interesting to see how this will develop. I guess people cannot take their eyes off this homepage for now. Please wait with anticipation.

This time, I was on a trip to Okayama from yesterday afternoon. It is approximately three and a half hours train ride with the bullet train. At Okayama station, there was the one of the sponsor and chief priest of the Buddhist temple, Mr. Ogata, who devoted so much effort to invite me as the guest, waiting for us. The venue was at a cultural center in Tuyama-shi which is about one and a half hours away. I know him pretty well; not only did he come to my office to make arrangements, but he also attended the seminar in Okayama-shi a month ago which Mr. Kimoto from LTC hosted.

He is a young chief priest of Shingon Kegon Temple, just 30 years old or so, but he is pretty passionate, so it seems that he greatly persuaded the older and respected members of the chief priests in order to hold my seminar today.

Shingon-Sect's Mimasaka Training session was taking place for its 21st time, and it was a big event for which 1,000 supporters attended. Since this is an organization so large, it is not hard to imagine that there were some troubles for inviting a person like me. From what I heard in the conversations with the elders at the yesterday's reception, I learned that this training session was to take place with unprecedented innovative plans, so I once again strongly felt my responsibility.

My talk in the cultural center that really included 1,000 supporters was well received in the end. After it was over, the expression on the executives' faces seemed relieved, and Mr. Agata's face particularly looked happy, so I also felt the continuous fatigue from my busy schedules vanishing away. In November, there will be another seminar in front of the Tendai Education and Research directors, which seems nerve-wracking, but I guess I don't need to worry so much anymore.

After the seminar in Toka-machi, we immediately came back to Tokyo with the bullet train. This was because I was calling people for a meeting from 16:00 as it is described below.
This event was something that I had been thinking for long, and it was intended to create a unity among those who have the same spirit. For that purpose, I sent out a letter that was written as follows.

June, 2004

To whom it may concern

Masaru Emoto
President of I.H.M. Co., Ltd.

We are heading towards another hot summer, but I hope you are all doing fine. Also, I would like to thank you all for your great understanding and support of hado (vibration), water, and theory which I recurrently propose. As many of you may already have heard, "Messages from Water" which has been published 5 years ago in 1999 June, is progressing amazingly well throughout the world. It is published into 19 languages and has not yet lost its momentum.
With that, I have been invited to 27 countries in the last four years, and did seminar lectures in cities, exceeding 100 in its number. I believe that there are as many as 30,000 or more people who have attended my lectures during that time. By meeting brilliant people, I have gained new realization, wisdom and an awareness of my duty.

Especially after 9.11, the power inside people's minds who wish for peace is stronger than ever, and many seek "water" as the key word. My "Messages from Water" came out at a right moment as if it was there to heal that thirst. I even received a title as the "peace messenger of water".

At first, I thought I was not capable of that, so I went around informing others simply about the results from the pictures of water crystals. However, the moment I saw the event of 9.11 live on TV, I had an assured sense of "missionary for peace".

Since then, the background theme of the slides from powerpoint shifted to one that calls for peace. That is not only seminar lectures, and as the core of "Project of Love and Thanks to Water", it started to include concrete activities such as "Prayer to Water" ceremonies in various places.

Through these activities, I believe that my attitude brought deep understanding and resonance from people, and that we are creating the "hundredth monkey phenomenon" around the globe. Especially from this April to May, the first U.S.A. Seminar Tour ended in a success. As a result, I have received the United Nations request to do a seminar which will be hosted by United Nations for their staffs on September 17th. So I once again felt my awareness as the missionary and found this particularly bracing.

From the circumstances that has surrounded me lately, I started to think that at last we should also start up activities in Japan, and gain support from all of you who are here in Japan. As the first country that was attacked by atomic bomb, we should hold an assembly that envisions eternal world peace and send it to the world.

So here is a suggestion to you. I propose this to organizations and people who have been calling for the earth and humankind's peace, and who has continued to devotedly provide this service for long. We should all unite to become one, gain support from many citizens, and create a huge delegation that fulfills this aim.

I have produced some ideas for the plan in another document. For now, please look at what is written below. If I have the blessing for this purpose, I would like to ask you to join the preparatory committee for this big event. I understand many of you are busy and there is not a lot of time left. If you cannot make it, a delegate that serves your interest is welcome as well. Please take time to ponder on this matter.

Concerning the procedures of management, we will basically have the office at our place and we will organize it, but I still want to have "Water Peace Festival Preparatory Committee" to be the main sponsor. In all bases, I am also thinking about creating an organization that further deals with peace activities, so if you would like to join without putting too much thought in organizations, that would be wonderful.

Furthermore, in another document, there is a list of well-known people and scholars to whom we sent requests to participate in this event, but if you have any other suggestions of people, please give us some recommendations. Thank you.

  • Resonating with hado (vibration) is the work of the right brain.
  • I am conducting the education of heart, education of love, and education of hado, so people are pleasantly accepting it. If this was the education of knowledge, I don't think it would have spread as much.
  • Children know hado well. If they are the fetuses, they know even better.
  • 3 or 4 months year old babies speak the language of hado. Telepathy
  • Nowadays, there are only few mothers who have clean amniotic fluid. But if they talk to the fetus asking "Please clean the amniotic fluid", they will clean it. Women with beautiful amniotic fluid.
  • They also have the power to cure their mother's diseases. Even when they are born, they can come out with no trouble.
  • It is good when you send love to the apple tree here, but if you ignore the other apple tree or send bad words to it, it becomes bad.

  • Some children can grow sprouts from beans that are cooked.
• Prof. Nakazawa (University of Tokyo)

  • I am both managing my scholarly work and the peace movement.
  • Mr. Tatsumura, a film director, and Dr. Kazuo Murakami are also trustees of Goi Peace Foundation. We intend to change Japan from a cultural perspective and hope that it will lead towards a positive direction.
• Ms. Ryu (Ryu Keiko Gallery)
  • Both Dr. Emoto and I worship Dainichi-nyorai (a Buddhist figure)
  • I was also educated with Christian beliefs at Aoyama Gakuin. I was impressed by the picture of Heitate Shinto Shrine and the picture that was exposed to the letters of Jehovah.
  • I was surprised that the picture of the water crystal which was exposed to the image of Ryuji (dragon god of water) showed the eyes and the figure of the Ryujin.
  • I make pictures of the unseen world. Dr. Emoto make crystal pictures of the unseen world so that people can see.

  • Dr. Emoto is a person with an extraordinary destiny.
  • I am truly happy that Japanese people are playing an active role in uniting the world into one, and uniting the planet into one.

• Mr. Murata (President of Vitalwave Co., Ltd.)
  • I am both managing a company called Vitalwave, and working as a trustee of the Subtle Energy Association.
  • I agree with this purpose, but isn't it important to connect the world of reality with the world of peace?
  • Now in the world of water, there is water that could be burnt, or water that could wash things without detergent.
  • Many say that their technology is the best, but in the present, everybody is uniting.
  • There are ways to treat water without producing sludge, meaning that it could completely disintegrate organic matters.
  • Should we not look more from the perspective of reality?
• Mr. Otake
  • There are 52 organizations approving this plan, so from now on, we are going have everyone cooperate in different sections.
  • For the actual management, Mr. Hazaka, the manager of president's office will be the person to contact.
• Mr. Shichida
  • In American Societies such as Brain Associations, there are many celebrated professors who participate. There is a system where even the seminar lecturers pay to participate.
• Dr. Emoto
  • I will gradually stop promoting 'hado' (vibration). I think we did a lot with hado. The core is 'mind'.
• Mr. Inoue (Hado Medical Research Organization, Feng-Shui Science Laboratory)
  • In all honesty, the trailer of the movie is fantastic.
  • As for "Gaia Symphony No. 5", the beginning was a bit tedious, but I think it was great.
  • I believe changing the name of monthly magazine Hado is a good decision.
  • I agree with the aim.
• Mr. Otake
  • If there is any other suggestion, please share it with us.
• Dr. Emoto
  • I am asking Lyall Watson, but if others have any opinions about teachers and experts, please tell us.
• Mr. Miyazaki (Chinese Medicine of Cross Co., Ltd.)
  • How about Mr. Shoukichi Kina who did a concert at Nagoya in 22nd May? This will bring more audiences from different circles of people.

• Ms. Kahomi (Kahomi Creation)
  • How about a voice trainer called Mr. Masahito Ushijima? He is the CD producer of Ms. Susan Osborn's Japanese songs.
  • There is a person called Ms. Minehaha. She sings many songs of water.
• Ms. Sakura (Hikari Forum)
  • In the last month, most of Mr. Yosuke Kuboduka's operation was finished. After meeting with Dr. Emoto, he can now speak about the true things.
• Dr. Emoto
  • Is it possible to have Mr. Kuboduka come on the stage after he recovers?
• Mr. Suzuki (The Subtle Energy Association in Japan)
  • I am impressed to see how people are working with so much enthusiasm and effort in reality.
  • I believe the name Peace Water Festival would be better than Water Peace.

End/Reception

In all, I was especially and unexpectedly impressed by Mr. Shichida who came all the way from Shimane Prefecture and volunteered to be the preparatory committee member even though he is very busy. On the 16th, we will have the very first preparatory committee meeting to decide on specific points, and I will update things on the homepage each time, so please look forward to it.

Also, anybody who wants to take part in this event is very welcome, so please contact us through email or telephone.

From yesterday afternoon, we were in Toka-machi in Niigata prefecture. For today, there was the 7th National Snow Summit that took place, and I was invited as the guest speaker for a keynote address from 10:00 in the morning. We decided to spend some relaxing time with my wife at a hotel that was attached to a hot spring, so we went to the hotel which someone from the city reserved for us. Surprisingly, it was exactly the place where I held a 2-day seminar one and a half years ago, with an invitation from the local Hairdressing Association and the EM group. At that time, I was the only one that stayed there, but it was a nice resort hotel with a golf course and hot spring that Toden and Kagoshima Construction Cooperation developed. Since I really liked this place, I was telling my wife that we should go there sometime.

Now, we have been married for 36 years, but for the first time, we took a bath in what is known as the 'family bath tub' made out of Hinoki (Japanese cypress) because it was cheap. Then, we had a fantastic dinner concerning the price for it. Afterward, my wife found a karaoke room and told me that she wants to hear me sing, since she has not heard it in a while. So it was 'showtime'.

But actually, this was not so fun. I felt it myself, but my wife told me that my singing got worse. Hmm, I wonder why this is. My voice doesn't come out the way it used to. It made me think that 'well, I guess you have to go to the karaoke regularly in order to keep up with it'. I haven't been around bars lately, and now that karaoke isn't much of a fun, I felt a little sad about it all. But I have a stage called seminar. Especially now, I have chances to speak at seminars more or less 100 times a year, in and out of Japan. Thus, Masaru Emoto, you cannot have everything you desire. You shall put your energy into seminars from now on. I'm taking this as a message from god, so I will declare to quit karaoke.

Now, the National Snow Summit which took place the next day was a big event with long history and support from the nation and various towns. I am such a lucky person to be able to do a seminar at such a large stage. As I greatly appreciated the crystals of snow for giving me this chance, I proposed to everyone "Let's think of the messages ourselves". Then, I got a huge applause of sympathy and understanding from 250 participants who came from areas with heavy snowfall.

In the karaoke, you cannot get applause from so many people. Yes, I will declare to quit karaoke.

I went to the office for the first time in a week, finished up a conference, and met with guests in the morning. Then, we headed to the Gaia Symphony no 5 preview which took place in Shinjuku Kinokuniya Theater. Since I was suffering from jet lag (with short journeys, jet lag seems to last for long), I was afraid that I might fall asleep in the middle of it. So I asked my wife on the way to the theater to nudge and wake me up several times, but there was no worry for that during the next two and the half hours.

I always feel that Mr. Tatsumura's movie is filled with great spirits of humanity and compassion, and for a person like me who holds that spirit to my belief, it never ceases to captivate me. Especially with his wife devotedly starring (?) in the film, the last scene moved my wife and I to tears. If you have the chance, please go and see the film.

After that was over, I went to the planetarium in Sunshine at Ikebukuro. The designer of the planetarium projected pictures of the water crystals onto the sky filled with shining stars. Its theme was "Water Knows the Answer" and today was the day we promised to go and see it for ourselves.

In one of the top pages of the July 16th edition of Weekly Asahi, there was a page introducing this, so let me quote a few lines from it.

"What appear in the sky filled with stars are crystals of water. Like delicate jewelry of glass work, they are exquisite, shining beautifully as ever. Tokyo Ikebukuro Planetarium Sunshine Starlight Dome 'Manten'. Other than the usual programs that project stars in the sky, a healing program that is on for one hour from 19:00 is becoming popular."

Wow!! It was so great, beautiful and moving. I saw our pictures appearing as radiant images in the sky and the way they kindly look down upon us. Then, I could not stop admiring the mystic beauty of them as if I never saw them before. I could not stop thinking, "I wonder who took those pictures?"... Just joking.

Well, I had no need to worry about me falling asleep again, but it seems as though the jet lag will still continue to bother me for a while.

Yesterday, I safely came back from Liechtenstein. However, I had no time to relax after my journey since I went to a Yamaguchi style Reichi seminar as a guest speaker at the Curian Building in Ooimachi City.

The host of this seminar, Mr. Tadao Yamaguchi is from Kyoto and has a certification as a hado (vibration) instructor. He took over the Jikiden-Reiki that has been passed on for generations from his mother 5 years ago, and started to gather pupils. As a result, there was a five year anniversary seminar that took place in Kyoto a while ago and in Tokyo.

As you might know already, Reiki is a healing method that has originated in Japan, but developed in countries outside of Japan, and recently, it has been spreading in this country once again in a form of so-called 'reimportation'. There are other cases similar to this, and you can say that my crystal pictures took a similar course as well.

There are many of those who say that this is because Japanese people have a tendency not to believe in new things. Or else, people say that the island mentality is still persistent, and this country is a place where the "nail that sticks out gets hammer down". However, once they are out of Japan, things that gain its success tend to get popular in Japan as well. So if people take practical consideration of this situation, I believe that people who have confidence in their new technology should use internet and send the information out to the world. As one might say, "more haste, less speed".

In Mr. Yamaguchi's case, because his pupils went outside of Japan and spread the Yamaguchi style Reiki, he is now invited to give workshops in the Netherlands, Germany and England. They truly know the value of things when they are good. Why don’t you take this into consideration as well? I recommend this especially for those who have technology, ideas, teachings that exist in Japan from ancient times.

I left home at seven in the morning on June 28th, and after traveling for eighteen hours I arrived in the laboratory in Liechtenstein at six on the same day. Although I travel a lot, a long trip like this gets to me really. Now I am over sixty years old.

The purpose of this trip was to make a business collaboration contract with a company that has a well near Munich and sells mineral water. It could have been dealt with by the Manager, Rasmus, however, it was decided that I would personally attend, for it would be the first contract after the establishment of the laboratory here.

On the 30th I spent six hours to make a round trip, and the contract was concluded pleasantly and smoothly. Thanks to Rasmus's groundwork it was a good start for the laboratory. We were lucky to find a good staff in Europe. Thus I believe the laboratory will operate well for a full-scale research.

Tomorrow I will leave the hotel at six for a long trip back from Munich Airport via Vienna to Kansai Airport, then Haneda Airport. And I have another seminar to run on the following day. It is amazing that my body clock is OK. All of these have been supported by a strong sense of mission, I believe.

As usual, I will be fully booked when I return to Japan this time. And again I will back on the 12th for the Love and Thanks Day Project which is going to be held on the 25th by the Rhein in Liechtenstein. Wow, so hectic!

Bye for now. I will continue back in Japan.
