The TV news reported that the Obon holiday rush peaked yesterday, on the 11th with trains, airplanes and expressways crowded with travelers to their hometowns or for vacations since morning.
Since the future of the Covid situation still remains unclear, I think there are a lot of people who chose not to go out considering the risk of infection even though the nationwide movement restrictions have been lifted for the first time in 3 years.
I am also the one who restricts the behaviors avoiding crowds unconsciously.
There may be some people who cannot visit their ancestor’s graves during this Obon period, but I hope they can send good Ki to their ancestors by thanking them because we can still send Ki even though we cannot visit them.
It may sound a little weird but I could visit my ancestor’s grave in my memory with the corn (It’s called Toukibi in Hokkaido) I had after breakfast.
The taste brought back the memory which was about my relatives gathering for the memorial service at the temple where our family’s graves were.
The temple offered a heap of Toukibi(corns) in hot weather and they were very delicious.
I was the oldest among children and my grandparents, parents and other relatives adored me very much.
This is a very good memory.
My grandmother often boiled and served Toukibi(corns) when I visited my grandparents’ house as well.
I spent every day playing outside until I was exhausted. This is also a happy memory of summer holidays in the countryside remembered with gratitude for my grandmother.
The memory of the taste is amazing and it makes us feel the scene and happiness at that time.
This means that our dark feelings can become bright with the food – Ki will change.
Furthermore, we can receive more positive Ki with the food by feeling the thoughts of producers.
When we lose our bodies, the dark feelings cannot change and will stay forever but they can change when we are alive and have our bodies.
I would like to write about another food I take recently. I am drinking the bitter melon juice with Shinkiko Bio after morning walk.
It is good and I introduced it on my YouTube video.
The bitter melons were sent from the farm and they were very fresh.
I make the juice by adding Shinkiko Bio-a probiotic drink containing gold powder with Ki invented by the late chairman to bitter melons.
The late chairman thought that it was better to take in Shinkiko directly into our bodies rather than receiving from outside and then he made Shinkiko Bio for the people who couldn’t eat because of the disease like cancer.
You will get the better effect if you can take it with the late chairman’s thoughts.
Please try it.
