I touched God today

So what does a spiritual teacher do on her day off?  Why, visit spiritual sites, of course!  Yuka san, my interpreter, and Meguimi Kawai of Studio Kara and I took a road-trip to Tôdaiji Temple.  I am moved deeply by visits to both Shrines and Temples as you might imagine, but Todaiji has several other…

I'm Here!

On Wednesday afternoon I arrive at Haneda International Airport to begin my spring tour of Japan.  I would love to say that I am used to the hurried last minute preparations for my extended stay, the twelve hour flight, and arriving at my first destination after 25 hours in motion, but that wouldn’t be true.  What…

Japan, here I come!

It seems like I just got home from three months in Japan, but here I am again, packing my suitcases as I prepare for seven weeks of sessions.  As much as I love being at my home in San Diego County, USA, I love, love, love being in Japan. The first few weeks of this tour…

With a sad/happy smile

My fall 2018 tour of Japan is now complete.   I am boarding a flight to Hawaii for a few days of simply living, but my smile is both sad and happy.  I am sad to leave behind so many wonderful people who have shared their love with me these past three months, yet I am…

Fun and beauty

Somehow Yuka-san, Yukari-san and I got a day off in Fukuoka, so we made the most of it!  We went on a field trip to the island of Nokonoshima via ferry. Thank you Yayoi-san for your gift of love as you shared the flower garden with us.    This was truly a play day, we were…
