More Axe Murderer Conventions & Shifting Energy

I'm off tomorrow to Kyoto for another Internet Axe Murderer's (IAM) convention. It should be good. Pandasu from the USA is coming with four of her coworkers for a 10 day whirlwind tour of Japan. They landed in Tokyo on Friday, and today (Monday) went to Yokosuka Naval Base near Jaime. Then they went after that down to Hiroshima and are coming back through Kyoto tomorrow (Tuesday). I will take a 1.5hr train there (30 minute train to Fukui as well) to meet them. We'll have dinner at the tonkatsu place in the Kyoto Station (Rob is invited, but I don't know if he'll make it considering he just got a brand new Harley through Yahoo! Auctions yesterday and will probably spend his day out there polishing every spoke and every piece of metal (as well he should).

On Wednesday we are taking a full-day bus tour of the city to several temples, and stuff. I've been on this tour before (took my Sock Customers in the past); it is really good and gives you a good cross section of some of the (SOME of the things to see there). Then I'll catch a train home and probably be back by midnight here.

 

I had a busy day today with work. I packed titanium rimlock profiles (3m bars of the things that will become those teeny little closures that "lock" the rimwire of your glasses. If you look behind the temples where they attach to the eye wire of your glasses, (metal) you will most likely see a little piece of metal there with a screw in it. Those come from 12ft bars of profile that get cut down and then shaped to braze onto the rim wire, and the end pieces that attach to the hinge which also attaches to the temples. That's what I'm sending to France; 40kg or 90lbs of it.

 

I did my banking, and then went and had a coffee and read my book "The Secret of the Universe" at Starbucks for an hour or so before heading out to do a few more things before heading back to the house to do accounting and more work.

 

After that was all done I did pilates here. I started a new exercise program to add to my weight training as some mysterious flubber has accumulated around my waist and has hidden my ab definition and the back definition. I hope that the 15lbs of weight I've gained isn't all flubber! I would hate to go back down to my "usual weight" of 73kg (160lbs) after working so hard and feeling like I've FINALLY gained some muscle mass from my efforts! I had lunch, had a quick shower and then headed out to visit Maeda-san in the hospital. I spent two hours there.

I got home from visiting Maeda-san again for two hours in the hospital as I've been doing about five times a week for the past month. He seems "ok", as things go, but there's not much meat left on his body. He reminds me a lot of Tug now, in Tug's last days where he was nothing but skin and bone. No strength, but the mind was still there, and he kept dozing off. Well, I sit there, I wash him, I give him fluids, I hold his hand, and I read, then tell him things like his blood pressure, etc. etc. It's a good time.

 

I am spending more time with him now (when he needs it) than we did over the entire 17 years we knew him. Being across the mountains in a direction we never go to except to visit him makes it difficult to get to. When he was living next door, we would greet, and chat across the fence daily, but that wasn't hours at a time. And thanks to Maeda-san I finally finished the 400page book! It wasn't a very "fun" or "compelling" read, and maybe I'll talk about it another day, but for now, suffice it to say, I'm happy I am done and can move onto other things.

Then I cooked a great dinner, cleaned up, did the dishes, had coffee... and now I must pack for tomorrow! 

 

Oh! One interesting thing I wanted to share with you and the "main" purpose of this blog that I wasn't going to write because I have other things I need to do before going to bed...

 

I injured my jaw five days ago at the gym with my uberheavy weights. I guess I clenched without realizing it. yesterday was the worst of all and I couldn't even close my jaw to bite something soft! It hurt! Didn't sleep well the past four days.

Well, I recalled something from all the "New Age" reading I've been doing lately, coupled with the meditation I have been doing on the floor (more like falling dead asleep, but I'm trying!) as well as something other "stuff" and I figured I would start visualizing the energy flows in my jaw to see if I could "move" the pain away.

 

So since yesterday while driving around and last night and today I have been lightly rubbing my fingers up my cheekbone to gather the good energy, and then down the jawline from the temple, in front the ear, and that point at the corner of the jawbone by the ear, and at that time thinking of pushing out the bad energy.

And you know what? It's healed! Completely! My jaw is back in alignment again (it was out of alignment as only the left side teeth would touch, and the right side had a gap. It happened so fast I'm amazed!

So then I went and tested it out by eating LOTS of meat, chewing mushrooms, and cabbage that were all "steam fried" with the thick strips of pork I cooked.

 

*chomp chomp*

 

Jaw works great! I thought yesterday during my workout at the gym (which was difficult to do because I was concentrating on the pain in my jaw during every workout) that I'd need a long break to let it heal... but by the Gods of Bacon, it's all better!

 

Seriously, I really did focus on moving the energy in a circular motion. I'm sure that the rubbing had some soothing effect, but I don't think that is the entire reason. I prefer to believe that I have been studying enough that I finally am starting to understand how energy flows in my body, and how the pain, or illness in my body is not just physical, but also manifest by my mind. And if that is the case, then I should be able to "adjust" my mind and move the pain out. So I've been experimenting with that.

 

OK, well, upstairs to pack and we'll see you guys again in a few days.

 

I love you!
