Nicole has to fly back to Paris at the middle of August, but I will be in California till the end of month.
And, while in the Bay Area, I’ll lead a annual series of 5 Tuesday evening Taimyo mediation class at the Day Street Dojo, San Francisco!
This meditation class praying for “The world peace” got started right after the tragic event happened in New York on September 11, 2001, and has been held in the SF Bay Area for the last 15 years.  If you want to know more about it, please visit our site at:
The following is the quote I have chosen as the theme for this summer, so please keep it in your mind when you join me at the sessions!
『世の為、人の為！』
“In Service to Others – and the World
I believe that we humans need to be useful to the world around us, because we benefit daily from what Earth has provided for millennia. Living ‘in service to others and the world’ is the highest form of action we can take as human beings.
Even in the course of being successful in business, we have always based our thinking in service to others and the world.
This is my life purpose. Living this way is my cause, my calling, and my message to others.”
– Kazuo Inamori, founder of Kyocera and DDI (later KDDI).
Looking forward to getting together with you by going “beyond the limits of time and space!”

Happy Summer!
I hope you are well. I look forward to meeting you via our Taimyo network this summer.
This time I would like to focus on “Ritsui Ju Meiso-Ho” (10-Position Standing Meditation). I especially want to share my latest understanding and appreciation of four poses in the last half of the meditation: Kenka-I (#5) to Kenshin-I (#6), (Kenshin-I (#6) to Bokyo-I (#7), and Bokyo-I (#7) to Joshin-I (#8).
Below are some thoughts I prepared for the series of six Tuesday evening class held at the Day Street Dojo in San Francisco from July 28 through September 1. I hope these thoughts will help you find a new and rewarding focus for your meditation.
Sincerely yours,
H. F. Ito

It was my great honor and pleasure to be invited as a Goreisha at the Shintaido International event held at California State University in Sonoma, California Tuesday, July 3 through Friday, July 6.

All of my appreciation goes to those who made this event happen!

Now the time has come for our 6 Monday Meditation classes in San Francisco – part of the Life Exercise Program.

I would like to start our first class on Monday evening, July 30, with the Shintaido “ritual” that I led at the 4th practice of the Shintaido International. Using Tenshingoso ‘O’ & ‘Um,’ I will invite everyone to connect with both nature and the wisdom of humankind.

Thank you for your participation in the Life Exercise program and for helping me develop variations of Tenshingoso on folding chairs. I believe this will help us expand our imaginations to experience Unification of Self & Ten/Universe – allowing us to go beyond time/space/energy!

-Ito

A Healing Cycle
Choshin – Chosoku – Choshin
(body conditioning) – (breathing) – (connection to others)
Release tension from your shoulders, and your breathing quiets
As your breath becomes quiet, your mind calms
As your mind and body become calm, your breathing deepens
As your breath deepens, your consideration of others improves
As your Ki energy reaches others, the people around you become more
relaxed in your presence

Here is a simple way to join in one mind for a healing. Perhaps better than watching the news, making a difference. A simple idea that can make a profound difference.

Hope you can join in. Please pass along to others who can send their healing energy. Thank you.
Blessings, Naomi

A letter from Dr Masaru Emoto… ( He is the Japanese scientist who has researched how water responds to consciousness)

==========
To All People Around the World,

Please send your prayers of love and gratitude to water at the nuclear
plants in Fukushima, Japan!

Day and Time:
March 31st, 2011 (Thursday)
12:00 noon in each time zone

Please say the following phrase:
“The water of Fukushima Nuclear Plant,
we are sorry to make you suffer.
Please forgive us. We thank you, and we love you.”
…
By the massive earthquakes of Magnitude 9 and surreal massive tsunamis, more than 10,000 people are still missing.even now. It has been 16 days already since the disaster happened. What makes it worse is that water at the reactors of Fukushima Nuclear Plants started to leak, and it’s contaminating　the ocean, air and water molecule of surrounding areas.

Human wisdom has not been able to do much to solve the problem, but we are　only trying to cool down the anger of radioactive materials in the reactors　by discharging water to them.

Is there really nothing else to do?

I think there is. During over twenty year research of hado measuring and　water crystal photographic technology, I have been witnessing that water can　turn positive when it receives pure vibration of human prayer no matter how far away it is.

Energy formula of Albert Einstein, E=MC2 really means that Energy = number of people and the square of people’s consciousness.

Now is the time to understand the true meaning. Let us all join the prayer ceremony as fellow citizens of the planet earth. I would like to ask all people, not just in Japan, but all around the world to please help us to find a way out the crisis of this planet!!

The prayer procedure is as follows.

Please say the following phrase:
“The water of Fukushima Nuclear Plant,
we are sorry to make you suffer.
Please forgive us. We thank you, and we love you.”

Please say it aloud or in your mind. Repeat it three times as you put your
hands together in a prayer position. Please offer your sincere prayer.

Thank you very much from my heart.

With love and gratitude,
Masaru Emoto
Messenger of Water

The following is a message of encouragement that I received from A-sensei 10 years ago…
Really started appreciating it recently!
It is my pleasure to share it with you this time…..
===
Shintaido works in our lives at so many different levels.

At first the Keiko opens our minds and hearts, and lets us experience a kind of freedom that we have never known before.

Then, if we go completely through that process, we begin to see the Keiko as a way to direct and shape our lives.

But if we keep going until our Keiko expresses the great flow of life-force from the beginning of time, then our lives will go beyond our expectations and our Keiko will be made complete.

===

From a new year’s message Ito received from Hiroyuki Aoki, on January 1, 2000
