Hado. A Book In Review.

I've read a wonderful book recently called

"The Healing Power of Hado", by Toyoko Matsuzaki

I really love books like this one that discuss the universal energy that flows around and between all living things.

Toyoko Matsuzaki helps her readers understand "hado" by asking simple questions...

..."Have you ever entered a room full of people and sensed the mood, without anyone saying a word?"

..."Or felt calm and lighter after receiving a warm hug from a friend when your spirits were down?"

Definition:
"Hado is the life force found in everything."

Many people may not understand this energy or find that the topic seems contrary to their religious beliefs. However, if you ponder this topic and talk with your religious clergy, you may be surprised to find how closely this bonds to your beliefs.

Particularly in this book, Toyoko Matsuzaki relates many of her own beliefs to those basics many religions.

...her belief that there is a thin veil between this life and the next...that life does not end after this life...
"Further, the line between this world and the other is very thin...They (departed loved ones) are happy when we are happy and they share the sadness we feel and help us from the other world..."

...that there could be no such thing as reincarnation...that one life on this earth is enough for each of us to endure...
"I am often asked about reincarnation. I think it is too painful for each spirit to repeat the fate and sorrow of this world. Previous lives are our ancestors, and future lives are our offspring."

...that we each have a purpose in this life...each of us is important...
"If you are fully aware of the consequences of your conduct and behavior, you will realize how important it is to live your life to the fullest, regardless of success or failure, with a good heart and good intentions.

..."If a thousand people pray for the same thing with good will, the power of the prayer is magnified."

..."Nothing is stronger than love"

...She essentially believes in the idea of karma and the "Golden Rule", i.e., doing to others or for others as you would like them to do to or for you.
"I firmly believe that what we call "karma" exists. Whatever you have done to others will return to you somehow, good or bad."

...that babies are unconditionally innocent...
"...I believe that babies, especially those who leave this world before starting to talk, go directly to God."

This author goes into great detail relating to the "hado" energy that different items release and how it affects the environment around you and I, along with stories for the readers to understand the energy better.

This "Hado Master" hones her powers of positive energy for healing and helping others. Throughout this book, she empowers her readers to discover the benefits of the positive energy they possess.

An uplifting book. I give this book a very high rating for bringing another positive aspect to connect people throughout the world with the knowledge of the energy that we all share...that it can be positive energy if we choose.

Unlimited Potential Is Not Limited To Everyone But You!

What are your hopes? What are your dreams? Do you feel like you are accomplishing your potential? Or do you feel like you want so much more from your life than you are currently experiencing but cannot find the passion and cannot find success?

What is the wall you are hitting? Do you hear an inner voice telling you that success, or unlimited potential, can only happen to other people, that it is limited to everyone else (except for you)? Why aren't you aware of your personal passion? What insurance do you have that your new hobby will become a successful passion? How can you cash in to your passion?

In this life, there are many different roads to take. There is the road that is uphill, that uses a ton of fuel and it takes a lifetime to reach the peak. There is the road that is straight, without risk, without diversion from the "norm". There is another road. One that is on flat ground, with a few hills. One that has various culdesacs that you can turn into to try your hand at various things. One that has multiple fuel stations along its route. One that includes various vehicles traveling at various distances, at various speeds, and circling various culdesacs. At the end of that road, there is a great deal of reward and satisfaction. At the end of that journey there is a great straightening of the road behind you, creating an easier journey for those who come after (a legacy).

Which road do you want to follow? Which end do you want to travel to? What kind of road do you want to leave for those who come after you?

What do you think first, when you wake up in the morning? Do you dread your day? Or do you look forward to it? Did you know that you can make up your mind to be happy, even when your surroundings are negative? Did you know that you can make your environment negative with your negative attitude? It becomes an aura all around you. It affects other people and their attitude toward you.

Practice positive thinking from the time you wake up in the morning. First, don't waste your day in bed. Select a time to wake up each day and stick to it. It is easier to do this when you select a bedtime as well. Therefore your internal clock will be "set" and it is easier to get up at the time you select.

When you awake, smile. Stretch in bed, just like a child does as they wake up. Take deep breaths as you stretch, and feel free to yawn. Practice gratitude as you awaken by saying "thank you" for a bed to sleep in. Next, rotate so that your feet are on the floor. Wiggle your toes. Say "thank you" for a covered floor to place your feet on. As you stand up, say "thank you" that you are able to stand. Next, as you are walking, inevitably to the bathroom, say "thank you" that you can walk, that you have a covered floor to walk on and the sanitary facilities to go to the bathroom in. Continue this practice as you get ready for the day, all the while smiling. If you can, meditate and/or practice yoga prior to the start of your working day.

"Research has shown health benefits of laughter ranging from strengthening the immune system to reducing food cravings to increasing one's threshold for pain. There's even an emerging therapeutic field known as humor therapy to help people heal more quickly, among other things. Humor also has several important stress relieving benefits."-- stress.about.com

When you go to bed, run through your day in your mind. If there are any events that feel negative, change them to a different outcome in your mind. Picture them as positive and with a positive outcome. This will program your mind. Much of the energy we send out to the world that affects our daily view on life is based on our internal thoughts. You must train those thoughts to be positive. You must get yourself in the right though process so that your world becomes positive. I know that sounds crazy, but the world is made up of each person's (pets and things as well) energies. What we think projects outward and eventually comes back to us.

In my next post on this subject, I will further investigate other opportunities to make your life a positive one, with success and with your desired outcome.
