Grand, Grand Rino Days

Here I am in Yokohama, working with Grand Rino.  Grand Rino is one of the worlds go-to stores for healing stones, crystals and gems.  Ashtar and I do our sessions in the Crystal Room surrounded by quartz crystals in every size from chips to pieces two and three feet across.  The energy here is astounding.…

Sagamihara, Sagamihara!

There is something so lyrical about that name, Sagamihara!  For the past couple of days I have been based here doing sessions with Atelier Salon, hosted by Kaori Maruyama, and at the Salon in the Sky with Junko Shimoyama and Sho-chan.  My heart’s love to all of my hosts and our guests.  After being in the middle of Tokyo…

A reason or a season

I think all of us have had the experience of a person showing up in our lives, making a huge impact on us, then vanishing again.  We rarely see these people coming into our lives, and when they leave it takes us some time to realize just how much they have done for us. Yesterday…

Day three: Tenkawa Shrine

For good reasons the Tenkawa Shrine, outside Nara, Japan, is one of the the “Big Five” Benzaiten Shrines in Japan.  Benzaiten is the goddess of water, art, music, dance, literature, abundant wealth and good fortune.  She originates from the Hindu River Goddess Sarasvati and is present in both Buddhism and Shintoism as well.  As an added bonus to…

Day two: Kumano Pilgrimage

I am exhilarated!  Day two of our bus pilgrimage along the Kumano Shrine path was so filled with the most wonderful experiences that both my mind and heart are racing each other to put it all in perspective.  While we did hours on the bus, we also hiked; hiked a LOT! We left the Seigantoji…
