It's a powerful turning point when the sun's energy reaches its highest of the entire year. Spiritually, it's regarded as the day when energy completely switches from "yin" to "yang," and it's said to be filled with strong purifying power, fresh starts, and the power to manifest wishes into reality.
What is summer solstice power?
It's the "yang" energy that pours down over the entire earth on the day when daylight lasts longest in the year (= the day the sun's energy reaches its peak).
What should you do?
Bathe your whole body in the sun's energy by "soaking up the morning sun," "let go of what you don't need" through detoxing your mind and body and decluttering, and "eat seasonal foods" while wishing for good health and freedom from illness.
What shouldn't you do on the summer solstice?
These three: "staying up late," "negative remarks," and "consuming too many cold things."
And...
Today is Father's Day.
The summer solstice is a special day when daylight lasts longest in the year and an abundance of spiritual energy pours in.
This year in particular is an important solstice, marking three years since we entered the Age of Air.
With the "Age of Earth" ending in 2020 and a new "Age of Air" beginning, the "turning point" power that the summer solstice holds will surely become even stronger. This year's summer solstice will without a doubt bring an even greater "major turning point in life" than the solstices of previous years.
Why not make this year's summer solstice the moment to harness the sun's spiritual energy and seek positive change? Let's take the first step toward a better future together.

Hiroyuki Nishizawa — Representative Director of Central&Mission Co., Ltd., mental coach and mental therapist. Born in Osaka Prefecture in 1988. He started his first business at age 21 while a student at Konan University, then went independent as a psychological therapist specializing in removing the "mental blocks" lurking in the subconscious and drawing out a person's true "mission."
Having systematized his techniques from the real-life experience of overcoming a crisis in his own marriage, he has since conducted individual sessions for more than 4,000 people. From business owners to Shinto priests at Ise Grand Shrine, executives of listed companies, and entertainers, a wide range of people have shared that "their lives have changed." In 2023, he was selected by Weekly Economist as one of the "40 Business Leaders Driving 2024." He is the author of The 10 Secrets for Ordinary People to Become Wealthy.
He is also actively engaged in social contribution work, including international education projects with Cairo University in Egypt and the University of Kelaniya in Sri Lanka, and under the philosophy that "the world becomes peaceful as people's spirituality rises," he continues his work both in Japan and abroad.
"Pushing harder" alone has its limits. Why won't your mental blocks come off?

"I should be successful, yet something feels empty." "I want to live my mission, but I don't know where to begin."
If you're carrying that kind of nagging unease, why not pause for a moment and face yourself?
— I feel like that's what Nishizawa is saying to me.
Nishizawa, a counselor who has conducted over 10,000 individual sessions and changed the lives of more than 550 people,
shared a little of "the secret to counseling that dramatically changes your life."
■ The trap of the "Black Engine" that binds you
When many people push themselves to produce results in society, a "Black Engine" (the will that drives toward success out of desire, stubbornness, and vanity) is at work.
This isn't a bad thing.
However, if it isn't accompanied by "the power to feel happiness (love)," no matter how many goals you achieve, emptiness and exhaustion remain.
Life truly turns around when this "will" and this "love" mesh together.
The secret of "fast, deep, and careful" counseling
In Nishizawa's sessions, no time at all is spent on surface-level worries. Because the worries you put into words are nothing more than the tip of the iceberg.
Speed: Using O-ring testing, he instantly pinpoints "the true source of your emotions" before you even put them into words.
Depth: Emotions have a "mille-feuille structure." He identifies the loneliness behind anger and sadness, and the "resignation" lying even deeper than that, unraveling the deep-rooted layers that come from parents, the past, and the collective consciousness.
Care: He never forces lessons on you or pushes anything onto you. He treasures "your own realization from within."
This very "realization" expands the vessel of your heart and gets stalled energy circulating again.
■ A new compass for life, connected to the universe
It seems the turning point in Nishizawa's life was the "Oneness experience" he had at age 21.
From that day when the conviction that "the universe is made of love" was downloaded into his mind, his mission was set: "to support people in reclaiming their true selves = the way they live their mission."
When you raise your spirituality and connect with the Source, hesitation disappears.
He believes that as more people face themselves and live their mission, the people around them, society, and even the earth itself will grow better.
■ Won't you experience the transformation of your life too?
What Nishizawa treasures is your life returning to "your own true self."
If something about the way you're living now feels off, it may be your soul signaling, "It's about time you lived as your true self."
Let's put an end to the time spent agonizing alone.
Let me help draw out the possibilities within you and guide you toward your true mission.
Let's create together a world where each and every person lives their mission. = White Engine
Economically free man Yohei Tanabe Thankyou so much!

A survival strategy for the AI era. Throw away "efficiency" and choose a way of living that "makes your cells tremble."
"AI will take our jobs." "Inequality will widen." "Loneliness will accelerate." Don't you feel a certain breathlessness at these predictions about the future?
It's true that the world right now is in the very midst of a "game change."
But what we should truly fear is not the advancement of AI. Isn't it "letting your own life be locked inside a frame of efficiency that someone else decided for you"?
This time, I'd like to talk about a "survival strategy" for making it through an era of intense change.
Why is "solitude" now your greatest weapon?
We've grown far too accustomed to "pretending to be connected" through social media. But no matter how much you interact through a screen, is there ever a "soul-stirring emotion that makes your cells tremble" waiting on the other side?
The finest business leaders and creators use "solitude" as their greatest fuel.
They stop running with the herd, face themselves in the deep darkness, and keep asking, "What do I find beautiful?" "What do I want to spend my life for?"
It's precisely in the irrational obsessions that the world calls "Are you an idiot?" or "That'll never sell" that the "humanity" AI can never replicate resides.
AI that chases "efficiency," and humans who love "bugs" AI is good at producing a lowest-common-denominator "comfort" or "correct answer." But what we're seeking isn't the correct answer.
Unpredictable chemical reactions Incalculable flickers of emotion A clumsy process covered in wounds
These are exactly the "irrational beauty" of the AI era.
Words and actions that pierce deep into someone's heart are not born from clean success stories.
The tears you've shed, the loneliness you've borne where no one could see, and the story of how you overcame them—these are the greatest weapon for moving someone.
The one and only rule for surviving the "vibe coding" era
Now, "vibe coding"—feeding your individuality into AI to automatically broadcast and improve over and over—has begun. With this, it's an era where one person can even build a company worth tens of billions of yen.
But here is where the road forks.
It's "Do you have an idea that makes your soul tremble?"
No matter how convenient the tools, if there's no "tremble of your soul" at the source, nothing will be born. Now is exactly the time to push the "genius switch" inside you. Let today be the last day you worry about appearances or efficiency.
Life is a story of "living for someone else"
Even if you work for money, the thrill fades within a month.
But the word "thank you" earned through volunteering or cheering someone on becomes a tremble of your cells that lasts a lifetime.
What retains value in the AI era is "a community where you can speak from the heart with others," and "the pride of walking your own unique story."
Even if you feel like a nobody right now, it's okay. You yourself—wounded, lost, and still facing forward—will become the protagonist of a story that saves someone in the future.
"If we're going to do it anyway, let's make it the most interesting life possible."
It's only after stepping off the efficiency-first rails and pursuing your own irrationality to the end that your true place to belong, and your real companions, are waiting.
〜〜〜
Rather than seeking answers from AI, go searching for the answer within yourself. It's an era that calls for that kind of strong "self-axis." What is the one thing you're so absorbed in right now that it "makes your cells tremble"?
By all means, put that passion into words and start broadcasting it to the world today.
Takumi Yamazaki's third film appearance!

Crossroads of Destiny: The SHINGO × Takumi Yamazaki Philosophy of "Continuing to Make Dreams Come True"
A boy who, in his teens, was struck by one of Takumi Yamazaki's talks (a DVD, perhaps?) reunites with him years later as an author——.
The dialogue between SHINGO and Takumi Yamazaki, bound by such a fateful connection, went beyond mere reminiscing and extended all the way to a "survival strategy" for making it through the times.
Here we present, in condensed form, the essence brought to light in this dialogue—how to keep your life light and shining brightly for a long time.
Graduating from austerity: the spirit of "pretty much a picnic" The teaching Takumi Yamazaki has long shared—"work is not ascetic training"—synced up with a truth about life for SHINGO after he went through depression and a "forced letting go." When he started over as a nobody, work transformed from "drudgery" into a "light picnic."
The ever-evolving "dragon" and "rainbow-colored integration" SHINGO's work, which began with an awakening at Okunoin on Mt. Kōya, now leaps lightly beyond the frame of "dragon god author." Running shops, building communities, producing festivals——. To his early "masculine strength" has been added a "feminine receptivity," and his work has evolved into a truly multicolored "rainbow dragon" radiating diverse hues.
The "octopus-wiring" strategy for a long, active career A career strategy like "octopus wiring," running multiple roles in parallel rather than clinging to a single title. And clearly separating the rules of "work (being of service)" from "building assets." This is the secret—shared by legends like Eikichi Yazawa—to staying out front and running for the long haul.
The next challenge: the "story" that is film Why Takumi Yamazaki, having mastered the field of practical how-to books, now pours his passion into the "story" that is film. It comes from a wish to leave behind a message engraved on the soul, and to pass the "dream-realizing" spirit that once drove him on to the next generation. The gaze of both men is already turned toward new possibilities.
A philosophy for "continuing to realize your dreams" that resonates across generations. It is nothing other than the courage to understand yourself deeply and keep changing lightly with the times.
