Let your body tell you

Before we knew it, it was November.
The weather has suddenly gotten cold and it's the season when we can't do without warm things.

For me, I can literally feel the change of seasons on my skin.
Your body will give you detailed information about the changing air conditions.
This means that your sensitive skin will become itchy.

This condition is very troublesome and makes me want to take off my whole body during sleepless nights.
However, there is no way to escape from my body and I have no choice but to face it.

Fortunately, there are people around me who know how to improve my body through natural means.
I try new things every day, gaining wisdom along the way.

Try changing what you eat, using soft underwear, taking baths with goldenrod and using loquat leaf medicine.
I had some blended herbal tea and mugwort steaming.

Since my constitution didn't suddenly change, I continued trying various things, relying on gradual improvement over the long term.

One time, when I went to the doctor he had recommended, he examined every last detail of my skin as if to find the cause. This was a shock to me, as I was only used to a brief interview.

While I was in that state with my face creased, the doctor read my symptoms and told me what I needed to do now and what I should do next.

When you can help them interpret the information your body is sending out that you don't understand,
I felt lighter and a better path was opening up.

This experience was similar to the palm reading I had previously had with Junko Kurosawa at Utsushiki.
I feel that by having my body pick up what I already have, know it, and put it into action, I can improve the present.

Next week, the first palm reading in two years will be held.
It's already fully booked, but we hope everyone who has made a reservation is looking forward to it.

My skin is gradually improving and my gloomy mood is lifted.
The way we look at what we wear has also changed.

Just as food nourishes the body, clothing is the closest thing to protecting it.

It makes me very happy to be able to wear something that has been made by people I know, and when I send it off from the Utsushiki, I want to give it to them with a goodbye prayer.

Start your day on a good note by saying "Thank you for today" in your mind.
