I’ve been here 21 days.  How delightful to experience a culture in which the transformation of the earth season from Winter to Spring is seen as auspicious, special, important, and significant enough to remind all of its citizens of this truth by making Vernal Equinox a National Holiday.  This act is a residual vibration of honoring the earth and our connection to it.  Japan has an old sustainable history of Martialing Energy, Contemplation, Meditation, Tea Ceremony, Gardening, Industrial Innovation, and deep Arts and Craft Lifestyle in which each fragment of life celebrates and honors the whole of existence.  Examples of how the Culture is still connected to the Earth can be seen in the Arts and Craft aesthetic, and Gardening.  The Earth provides for our bodies wellbeing by regenerating us by transmitting Electrons if we just step on it barefoot.
Reconnect With the Earth!  “Earthing” for Wellness!
On the day of celebration of Vernal Equinox here in Kyoto at the invitation of Mitsuyo, I visited the City Museum of Kyoto to see an Exhibition of Kimono which was accompanied by Ikebana (Japanese Flower Arranging).  The Kimono artisans were also present seated along the wall across from their kimonos usually about three hung on various display stands.  I talked with one of the artisan Mr. Masaaki, whose talent was the Shibori technique (tie dying, wrapping the small bits of fabric in rice kernels or tiny pellets and dying fabric to created image).  Mr. Masaaki has a friend in Los Angeles Tad Shibori who is a renown Shibori Artisan that I look forward to meeting on my next trip there. Geisha, my favorite “hyper feminine Asian Carmen” Archetype wears Kimono with flourish and honor, and I’m sure she is the muse of all Kimono makers.
FASHION DEVINE

Especially in Kyoto on holidays wearing Kimono is encouraged (free ride on public transportion).  I saw many girls in groups of two and three moving around Gion and Shopping areas is pretty kimonos.  Mitsuyo commented on the fact that Kimono can very warm, because they are made of silk, and that because it does not change each generation could wear the kimono of their mother, grandmother, great grandmother, and so on.  Mitsuyo’s Great Grandmother loved Kimono, and had many of them, her grandmother was influenced more to western and had fewer, and so on.  She has the kimono’s of her great grandmother that she will give to her daughter.  Talk about Sustainable Design and Beauty celebrating the Earth Matrix.  LOVE= Living One Vibrational Energy!
MY SPRING AWARENESS

The emerging awareness that I have received this spring day is a deeper knowing that everything is energy, and that my mind is a matrix, and the earth matrix is my home ship, and it is the main matrix that I choose to honor over and above the matrix created by other forces that discredit my power.  The matrix of the earth restores my body temple.   The simple and free experiencing of the earth with bare feet balances me so that the body can heal itself because it has received the electrons from the earth, which is brings in more oxygen to the body and I am recharged and at homeostasis.  My connection with my oversoul  is the wholeness and optimum way to experience this world ship.  Barefoot Meditation in the Sunshine or floating in salt water/ocean is a great way to receive the earths energy of electrons that restores and recharges our bodily systems.  So that’s why I want to go to Jamaica.
Spring is the arising out of the darkness into the light.  The winter was to discover the illusion and seed myself with new thoughts and desires and spring is to pierce the veil of illusion and arise into pure love, LIVING ONE VIBRATIONAL ENERGY.    I SAY  “I’m sorry, Please forgive me, I love you, I thank you,  to all beings.
With this Spring I am endeavoring to replace old repetitive thoughts with Brand New Thoughts.  New Thoughts all the time.  Oh I am so excited.  I am in my power.  More vivid thoughts, and more immediate inspired action.

All the things of beauty that I see are muses allowing me to see the elements that I want to assemble.

A womaness retreat facility that is feminine in nature and vibration.  With creative art centers expressing  arts and craft of  Ikebana, Library of feminine  arts huh, aren’t they all.   Beautiful farm lands,  Feminine skills of delicately being on the earth with ravishing beauty,  Homage to Africa, Bali, India, China, Japan, Korea, Housing for creative Elderly.  Games for Girls.  Laughter and glamour, mutual service.  A place where transformation for everyone is facilitated.  a place where we do our work of connecting with the Oversoul,  Healing the physical, emotional, psychic bodies.  A place for classes in sovereign mind coaching, and Visioning.  Creating an Earth relationship culture, the seasons, the planets, the nearby (animals and plants), harmonious sustainable practices of home building and space planning.  It’s beautiful, vigorous, tranquil, celebratory, international, powerful, vibrant.  Living One Vibrational Energy. Spring out of the darkness and into the light.  I take this fragment of earth life and create a more more expansive idea of myself beginning at home.  Thank you. I love you Spring, and the culture of Japan that connects with the Divine.

JAPAN

My first stop was Tokyo, Narita Airport

Huge with hundreds of people but very very quiet at baggage claim?  I took a train from there to Tokyo Station about an hour away.  Wow, was it bustling.  It was Sunday evening and thousands of travelers in what seemed like Grand Central Station in New York, but the dinn was soft and low.  People efficiently moving with fabulous LUGGAGE.  EVERYone seemed to have Gliding Luggage, which I soon learned are called “spinners”.  Baby that’s what you want when you travel near and far.  Noiseless, and weightless Spinners.  Wheels that spin 360 degrees, colors out of this world bright, prints, oh I could imagine some graphics that would spark the travel industry.  Huge Sepia Tone Jazz Musician Photos emblazoned on the luggage , My handpainting covering a carry-on, oh what fun.
Oh, I forgot to mention I traveled First Class all the way from Charlotte.  This was my first First Class travel experience.  I love it, “It’s the only way to fly”.  Vanessa has been telling me that for years.  Yeah baby, seats go all the way back, very nice meals, drinks, music, documentaries, and all the movies in the theater today right there at the push of a button, 13hrs from Atlanta flew by.
I have imagined all that has come to pass and more for me.  I will keep dreaming big.  So many new angles in my life, and so many new dreams to create and hold.  I’ll keep you posted on my Kyoto experience.  PAL /Peace and Love, Akiba
