Online Gratitude Journal Holiday Edition #20

Happy Holidays!

Portland was to have the whitest Christmas in its weather recording history, but now it’s turning to rain.  I’m glad, though, as I’ve been snowed in for the last few days.  Specifically, I could not go out at all from last Saturday to Monday.  This was very hard for an extrovert like myself – I like watching people in the Starbucks.  I spent quite some time on Twitter and Facebook.

Then I started talking with my own Spirit Guides extensively.  If you want to boost your psychic power, lock up yourself alone for a few days.  It gives you focus to tune in to your intuition.  My Spirit Guides and I talked about how my business is doing, how we can best grow it for the new year, what value I am to bring to this world, and more.  It was interesting.

Gratitude for the every day treasures

As some local areas declared emergency, I can’t help feeling gratitude for all the little things I almost take for granted in the everyday life.  Like electricity and running water.  Clean safe roads.  Fresh produce so readily available at the store.  A daily cup of coffee and friendly people around.  It takes lots and lots of people to make these things happen, you know.

And I’m grateful for my own good health.  Safe warm place to live.  Some foods in the fridge.

Akemi’s aura picture

Awhile ago, I went to body-mind-spirit expo in Portland.  There was a vender that takes “aura pictures”, so here is mine.

For the sake of integrity and honesty — I personally don’t think this is aura picture.  The way they did it was to have my hands on a special sensor and the computer produced this image.  So I guess they interpret the electromagnetic energy or something from my hands and put it into visual image.

It’s pretty anyway.  I might use this for my ID ^_^  According to them, the green signifies the healing energy I emit and blue means intelligence — my good thinking capacity.  The whitish umbrella is my spiritual power.

How are you enjoying this holiday season?
