Oh, that same old feeling

My brother Robert came to me back in the late nineties and said he had, after five years work, scripted tonal vibrations intertwined in his music that will balance my biofield. I said your what, has what, that will do what to my what? Because he was my brother, I reluctantly promised to use it as he instructed. A couple days go by and no results. I complain, he said wait and continue. Because he’s family I continued faithfully for another three days. I once again complain … but then I come up with a way out … genius! I say, “Hey, we have a chance to go sailing tomorrow but the captain has a really bad headache, I really want to go but he might cancel. Will this help him?” Smooth… He said, “Maybe, give it to him to try.” Success, I got out of it and pushed it onto my sailing buddy.
                                                                       
The very next morning two amazing things happened, so profoundly that it prompted me to dissolve my successful business and started a partnership with my brother to get this out to the world (okay, neighborhood – we grew).

That same old feeling – here’s what happened. When I woke up the next day after giving it to the captain, I felt tired, had a sore back (which was common for me) and my mind was kind of doleful-cloudy (again pretty common for me). The amazing thing was that for the last week I had been sleeping well, waking up without soreness and my mind was sharp and clear. I just hadn’t noticed. It came to me as a hard-hitting reality – a real aha moment – when the balancing influence was taken away I went back to my old me, an old me I didn’t realize I was. Well, I didn’t like the old me anymore and immediately asked Robert for more and have been using it ever since. Today, 20 years later, I still wake up rested (mostly), I have no soreness and I’m bright-eyed and bushy-tailed. Oh, and my sailing buddy called that morning and said, “We’re shipping out and you can’t have the music back.” Any theories why it worked so well?

Shock and Smell the Roses

Image
I’m in Tokyo, in a fancy board room at the top of a fancy hotel meeting with a group of five influential, fancy women. A stately elderly woman sat directly across from me peering over the wide expanse of an expensive oak table. Behind her was about twenty feet of open space that led to a serving table where an efficient-looking waitress dressed in a formal Kimono was quietly pouring us  some coffee. Suddenly, the stately elderly woman’s face across from me changed to one of great shock and surprise. Her demeanor was that of confusion and uncertainty. Eyes wide in shock, she stood up and began to spew out a torrent of Japanese words tinged with anxiety. The other four women all join in on the cacophony of incomprehensible chatter, all looking at her, then at me, and back again. I sat there in confusion, wondering if a spider had bitten her. Did she see a mouse? What?! Then I thought, am I in trouble? As it turns out, this regal woman had lost her sense of smell over 30 years...

Quick-strut Grandma-san

I tour many small villages throughout Japan. In one such village, a 32-year-old man came to purchase his second Pendant. The story he gave after being asked what had happened to his other Pendant was amazing and heartwarming. He said that he lives across an ancient narrow stone alley from an elderly woman in her nineties. He explained that every day at the same time she slowl y and methodically shuffles up the alley to a local tea house on the corner. She uses the alley wall to provide two-handed support and takes about 15 minutes to cover the 50-foot distance. For no real reason, he felt compelled to let her try his Pendant and on the way out to work he handed it to her, offered a brief explanation and left. The following morning, to his great surprise and awe, he saw the older woman walking in a normal, unsupported and strong gait up the ally at a quick pace toward the tea house. Without a word spoken she looked at him, who was staring back at her in shock and she flashed a g...
