Are you meditating？！

Ask Yourself These 3 Questions Before Meditation:
1. Who am I?
2. What do I truly desire?
3. What is the purpose of my life?

“I’ve known this for a while...” — But Still Not Taking Action

No matter how many times you hear it,
how many times you’re told it,
or how many times you say you understand it—
there’s still a gap between knowing and doing.

And when people finally take action,
they often say:
“I’ve known this for a while, actually.”

But here’s the thing:
It’s not just that you’re falling behind by waiting—
you’re actually shortening your life.

Let that sink in.

I want to connect with Taiwanese people living in Japan!

公益財団法人日本台湾交流協会公益財団法人日本台湾交流協会は、日本政府との緊密な連携の下、外交関係の無い台湾との間の実務関係を処理するための各種業務を行っています。

I wonder if I can meet some if I attend this？！

I’d love to connect with people who are creating videos using AI.

Let’s co-create a 20-minute visual piece—something beautiful and scenic, together!

If that sounds like you,
please feel free to email our team at:

✨ It would be super helpful if you could include “Taiwan” and “AI video” in the subject line!

Looking forward to hearing from you 🌱

✅ Stage 1：Awareness and Gaining Knowledge

Knowledge comes before experience.
- When you understand why you meditate and what for, the how becomes much easier.
True transformation begins when knowledge is practiced, experienced, internalized—and demonstrated.

✅ Stage 2：Meditation Practice and Early Changes

Start your day not with your phone or the news, but with meditation.
Even just 1 to 7 days can bring small but noticeable shifts—like better sleep or reduced pain.
The key is to focus and truly be in the now.

✅ Stage 3：Breaking Through Difficulties and Tasting Victory

Uncomfortable emotions like anxiety or frustration during meditation are not obstacles—they’re openings.
- Instead of giving in to the urge to quit, ask: “What lies beyond this?”
This inner battle—you vs. you—is the real work. There’s no such thing as a bad meditation.
- In fact, the hardest meditations are often the most valuable.

✅ Stage 4：Releasing Trauma and Emotional Baggage

Revisiting old trauma can be meaningful—but getting stuck there is dangerous.
The goal is emotional release—freedom from the past.
- A memory without emotional charge becomes wisdom.
Instead of wishing to change the past, many come to feel:“Because of that past, I’ve become who I am today.”

✅ Stage 5：Physical and Emotional Transformation

Releasing emotions unleashes stored energy in the body. Particles turn into waves. Matter becomes energy.
Physiological results may include:
- - Changes in gene expression
  - Nervous system rewiring
  - Hormonal and chemical balance

✅ Stage 6：Forgiveness and True Freedom

Forgiveness is not something you force—it arises naturally when emotions are released.
- You begin to realize: “Feeling good just feels better.”
When oxytocin (the love hormone) rises, it becomes impossible to hold on to resentment.
Forgiveness is the act of freeing both yourself and the other person.

✅ Stage 7：Self-Transformation and Creating a New Reality

「You’re no longer defined by “what happened to me.”
You define yourself by what you choose now.
New thoughts → new feelings → new actions → new experiences → a new self/new personality (personal reality)
And ultimately—a new life.

🧠 Summary: The 7 Stages of Transformation

- 1. Gain understanding (knowledge)
  2. Practice daily (meditation)
  3. Face your emotions (and overcome resistance)
  4. Let go of the past
  5. Allow physiological and neurological change
  6. Experience natural forgiveness
  7. Create a new self and reality

While leading a manifestation seminar,
my own blocks got released—and wow, it hit me hard! 😂

It’s funny how you don’t even realize what’s been holding you back
until it’s gone.
That’s the thing about blocks…
they’re invisible until they’re not.

Right now, I’m in Shonan,
waiting for a friend at Aloha Table.
Apparently, the menu’s the same as the one in Hawaii.
Props to Zetton Inc.—seriously amazing.
A Nagoya-based restaurant group, right?
Yuuki used to work at the Aloha Table in Nagoya, I think.

I’ve been craving an acai bowl,
so I’m happily digging in.
Might go for pancakes once my friend arrives.

And yeah… all this is making me want to visit Hawaii.
Now that Trump Tower has turned into a Hilton property,
the rooms must be newly renovated—I kind of want to go check it out.

So, what is “manifesting” anyway?

At first glance, it’s about turning your desires into reality.
But at a deeper level, it’s about returning to your true self.

The “you” who wishes,
and the “you” who already has it—
they’re not separate.
They’re the same person.
Which means that becoming that version of you
is simply… coming home to yourself.

Thank you, Dr. Joe Dispenza.

He says:

“Your personality creates your personal reality.”

Let that land.
Your life is a reflection of your personality.

And he breaks personality down into three things:

Thoughts
Behaviors
Emotions

If you want to change your life,
you have to change your patterns—
you can’t create a new reality, with the same personality.

There’s a video on Dr. Joe Dispenza’s YouTube channel called
“Breaking the Habit of Being Yourself.”

He’s the one who’s been scientifically decoding all of this.

We don’t just change in order to heal—
we heal because we change.

Protein expression is life expression.
Your genes express proteins.
Your emotions affect your genes,
and your environment affects your emotions.
So choosing new environments is crucial.

The brain is a record of the past.
As long as you feel separate from something,
you won’t attract it.

But here’s the wild part:
Even your microbiome and facial features
can change in just 7 days.

✨ That’s the power of meditation. ✨

You start to recognize your patterns.
And then,
you realize you can become something greater
than your emotions, greater than your body.

That space—
that place beyond the known—
is the present moment.

There’s a language for transformation.
The end product of every experience… is emotion.
So feel your future now.
Let yourself emotionally experience it before it happens.

We are all creators.
To be abundant, think abundantly
and act like someone who already is.

A coherent heart and an aligned brain are key.

And when your brain enters gamma waves—
that’s where ecstasy lives.

🔄 1. Repeating Life with the Same Thoughts

Many people believe that thoughts create reality, but few are consciously creating their future.
Why? Because they don’t truly believe it.
From morning to night, we repeat the same actions, thoughts, and emotions.
The same neural patterns keep firing.
In such a routine, the brain doesn’t rewire—and as a result, neither does your life.

🧠 2. The Nature and Limits of the Brain

The brain is a record of your environment, wired by past experiences.
Stay in the same environment, and your brain will keep producing the same responses.
In other words: when you live under the control of your environment, change cannot occur.

🌀 3. The Thought-Emotion Loop

Thoughts are the language of the brain. Emotions are the language of the body.
Thoughts create emotions, and emotions reinforce those same thoughts—
forming a feedback loop.
If this loop continues for years, the body begins to memorize your thinking.
You start living on autopilot. That’s habit. That’s the subconscious.

🧩 4. What Real Change Requires

True change means letting go of who you are right now.
If you want a new reality, but don’t shift your current thoughts, emotions, actions, and memories—nothing will change.
In neuroscience, this is called: building new neural connections = building a new self.

🧠 5. How to Create a New You

Learning new knowledge and insights forms new synaptic connections in your brain.
Learning = Creating connections. Remembering = Strengthening them.
Repeat empowering thoughts (joy, possibility), and your brain will begin to release positive neurochemicals— shifting how you perceive your reality.

🔄 6. Redefining Thought, Emotion and State

of Being

Your state of being = thoughts + emotions.
The quantum field (universal consciousness) responds to the coherence between what you think and what you feel.
You can think positively all you want—but if your emotions don’t match, it won’t manifest.

⏳ 7. Why Self-Transformation Feels Hard-and How to Overcome it

Most people want to change—but don’t actually take action until illness, loss, or crisis hits.
Yes, you can change through pain. But you can also change through joy, wonder, and curiosity.
The hardest part? Making time for yourself, making the time for transformation.

🎁 Summary: Keys to Practicing Transformation

1. Free your brain from habitual routines
2. Become aware of your thought–emotion loop
3. Learn something new
4. Create a new self-image
5. Start feeling and living that new state
6. Set aside sacred time—for your change
