 <\/p>\n

April 13, 2024<\/p>\n

At the venue of the solo exhibition 'U + Me'<\/a>, the collaboration event \"Oneness Breath Journey Meditation Breathing Session\" combining art and meditation was successfully completed with Hideki Kakita<\/a>, who is an Akashic reader and meditation leader.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Thank you so much to everyone who participated, and to Kakita-san for leading the session!<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Though I was part of the organizing side, I had an incredible experience...<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

In the space surrounded by a lot of art, with warm-hearted participants.<\/p>\n

In my final solo exhibition, my last atelier...<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Through a variety of intertwined factors, it guided me deep into the depths of my soul's memory.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

I was seeing what is commonly called a vision.<\/p>\n

Before I knew it, I was sobbing uncontrollably for over 30 minutes by myself.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

It was truly a ceremony.<\/p>\n

I will never forget this wonderful experience for the rest of my life.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

It seems that those who participated also experienced the journey of visions, with people crying, laughing, or moving in various ways.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

I hope everyone took something meaningful from this experience.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Following the previous collaboration<\/a>, I believe we were able to offer a truly wonderful space and experience by blending art and meditation.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Kakita-san's meditation breathing sessions are held monthly, mainly in Tokyo.<\/p>\n

To those reading this article, if the timing works out, I highly recommend attending at least once in your lifetime.<\/p>\n

The story of my vision<\/h3>\n
\n\t

 <\/p>\n

For those who are interested, please read on.<\/p>\n

This is the content of the vision I saw during that time.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

...When I realized,<\/p>\n

My spiritual journey had begun.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

I had become my younger self.<\/p>\n

I was in the familiar room where I had grown up.<\/p>\n

Something had happened, and I was curled up, sulking.<\/p>\n

I was in my pajamas. It was a sad memory.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Then the scene changed, and I was hiding and playing in the room that was used as a storage. It was a joyful memory.<\/p>\n

Next, I was watching myself from my mother\u2019s perspective. Suddenly, the scene shifted again, and I was at the soroban (abacus) class I used to attend in elementary school. For some reason, I had turned into a cat that was kept there and was observing the students.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

A world where scenes kept changing.<\/p>\n

All memories and emotions that I had completely forgotten, but were still precious.<\/p>\n

And also the memories and emotions of others, which I had never known before.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

While having this mysterious spiritual journey, I found myself automatically facing my current life.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

In the past year or two, there have been major changes in my real life.<\/p>\n

My mother passed away.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The room where I was born and raised, the room I had lived in for many years, and the atelier I had DIY-ed myself.<\/p>\n

The building that held all of that was being demolished.<\/p>\n

The theft of my beloved motorcycle, among other things.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

For some reason, I was continuously losing the things I had become so familiar with.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

I pretended to be okay with it, thinking \"Well, it can't be helped.\"<\/p>\n

I couldn\u2019t fully accept it face-to-face.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

But in truth, every time I lost something, there was immense sorrow.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

I had left that sorrow somewhere, hidden it away.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"...Sad...\"<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

This enormous point resounded in my heart.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

It turned into tears and flowed out in a huge amount.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

However, alongside this enormous sadness, I felt incredibly grateful for all the people I had interacted with, my family, this place, and my life.<\/p>\n

I loved them all from the bottom of my heart.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

If I were to be reborn, I would want to live again in this place, surrounded by these people... I want to be born to my mother again...<\/p>\n

The wave of gratitude that would not stop continued to spread, together with the enormous sadness at that single point.<\/p>\n

Unstoppable tears of joy and sadness overflowed at the same time.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

After a while, as I gradually regained my composure, I felt as if my emotions had been detoxed.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

...After finishing the meditation, what I strongly feel now is that I will live in a way that allows me to express my emotions more honestly, in a human way.<\/p>\n

And that I am grateful for all of this life.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Thank you for reading this far.<\/p>\n

May we share good days. May we share good lives.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
