Shaking hands are a magic wand.
Turn off the G.P.S. and follow your shaking hand into a new dimension.
On March 13, 2020, the Japanese government determined that the rapid increase in the number of infected people would not be halted unless it pulled out the “trump card” of declaring a state of emergency. At a press conference, then Prime Minister Abe emphasized “It was a last resort.”
Everyone had nothing but anxiety. Would we all get through this safely? What would happen to business in the future? But I also thought I might not change much since I have an online business. Yes, I am a lockdown specialist who has been working online for 15 years.
Although there were no more offline meetings during the pandemic, the online community of ONE DAY ONE UNIT could provide mental care for the participants. The expression one can make online and the positive feedback to others is truly a harmony of passion. The online distance was comfortable, and gradually they got to know each other and created a bond.
On March 13, 2023, wearing a mask became a “personal decision”. And I celebrated my birthday at Tenkawa Shrine in Nara Prefecture. I no longer wear masks on my Instagram, and the after-mask world is very colorful and lively, shifting from being all selfies to group photos. I didn’t dislike the photos with the masks, but I still felt the positive energy from the photos with smiling faces.
My birthday week was spent in Osaka for a group session and a visit to Tenkawa Shrine, and then I opened a day to go to Tokyo for a group session and the Dior exhibition. Although the locations were different, the keyword was “decision.”
One client said with a laugh. “I have a shaky hand when I press the application button to apply for a new challenge. So I guide my right hand with my left and press the button with my right hand.”
Looking back, that was certainly true. There have been many moments in my life when my hands shook. Now, I realize that this physical sensation was a shiver that came from breaking out of my comfort zone.
The client continued. “Shaking hands are a magic wand that takes you to another dimension. That’s exactly how I was shaking when I applied for a session with Hitomi”. Other clients agreed.
At last, two of my overseas clients were able to attend the Tokyo seminar. My room, the karaoke studio, apple pie, and onion soup, the Miele washing machine, the Rainbow Bridge, and the realistic feeling of being face-to-face with the participants as they watched on Zoom during the Pandemic made the moment seem like a dream come true.
Tenkawa Shrine has a zero magnetic field, the strongest power spot. It is said that it is a place where the directional magnet goes round and round. The needle is trembling, and the state of not knowing which way to turn may actually lead to decisions that create the best future.
