Much happened during my trip to Hokkaido last December 2008. To begin with, landing at the airport in Japan invoked a strange melancholic feeling rightaway. I found myself tuning into the strangest sensation, a sense that I have been here before.

Something was clearly amiss with how only my two daughters and I took turns to be sick throughout the trip. We were like playing the Russian roulette. As soon as one of the three of us felt better, another would be struck with fever at precisely around the same time. All in all, I fell ill 2-3 times in the space of ten days.

Perceptively, I noted that even on the days when my daughters were well, they were not quite their usual selves. It was odd that they were not all that wild while on a holiday in a beautiful location, with their cousins to play with all day and the joy of a new experience – snow. They were happy enough but I would have expected them to be ecstatic, using previous holidays as a yardstick. It might be the flu and the cold temperature but my gut said otherwise.

Sure enough, when I decided to ask for guidance from my Higher Self, I was led into the insight that my daughters and I have been in the exact location of Furano where the ski slopes were situated not just once before but in a number of my past lives. We were not all in the same physical incarnations. But our lives were pretty tied together and miserable ones too! Perhaps, the right triggers were all in place for past life memories to surface, for the trip was supposed to culminate in a Christmas Eve celebration on the most magical night – the night of my birthday and the time when I was born (9pm).

I observed with amazement that after some past life clearing, my younger daughter, Min, experienced a turnaround in her behavior. She was stuck in fear initially while snow skiing in Furano and was clearly not enjoying herself at the sport. We have started on emotional healing using EFT way back during classes in Singapore, before flying off on our vacation, thinking that Min had just a fear of heights. While in Furano, after suspecting that it might be past life connections that were influencing her mood, we decided to clear her of any karmic links. Lo and behold after a night of energetic work…she sprang to life the very next day!! She became so alive and enthusiastic, that she was skiing non-stop. Min even outdid her sister!

Min snow skiing in Furano

Unfortunately things were not quite so simple from my end. Even after flying home, discomfort levels from my blocked ears intensified. By then, all of us have already recovered from our bouts of fever. In the first few days after coming home, the low hum would give way to a shrill drill piercing my eardrums, giving me bad headaches. It was also annoying to hear my heartbeat so closely, affecting my ability to sit down and concentrate.

Concerned that I could be going for deaf for some unknown reasons, I went to see a doctor. He allayed my fears. His diagnosis was that my ear problems started from a viral flu I caught just prior to flying off for my vacation. I had nasal congestion that blocked up my respiratory passages. Altitude changes when I took off on the plane and subsequently going up the ski slopes of Furano did not help.

Intensive Energy Clearing of Past Life Issues

After one week, I noted that the course of antibiotics and bed rest had done little in resolving my ear problems. Following up on my gnawing feeling, I was prompted to check if there were more emotional issues springing from past lives that needed clearing. As I tuned into my earache, I experienced a bitter aftertaste on my tongue. A flash of Hokkaido appeared in front of me. I was plagued with extreme sadness.

Here were some of the emotions that I dug up…

Hurt. Immobilized. Indignation. Insecure. Melancholy. Miserable. Rage. Regret. Exasperated. Despair. Loveless. Regret. Depressed. Grief. Traumatized. Victimized. Wary. Threatened. Defeated. Fear. Disappointed. Let Down. Distraught. Oppressed. Discouraged. Dejected. Unhappiness.

Over the last two days, I also sought help from a practitioner friend, who regressed me. In the end, we cleared hundreds of lifetimes that created discordant energies in my ears. They were caused by deaths through drowning in cold water, being actually deaf, trauma from extremely loud noises and a variety of situations. Almost all of them came from past lives in Japan, in particular Hokkaido.

From a score of 10, my discomfort level is now a 1 or a 2. I have also addressed any emotional issues with EFT, on possible blocks to hearing things that I subconsciously am averse to.

It appears that for now, I have done enough energetic clearing work from my ears. Well, I will just have to wait and see what crops up over the next few days, for whatever remaining issues that I need to know of.

Heavenly Hokkaido

Don’t get me wrong. Hokkaido is really a beautiful place. Its pristine powder snow is definitely heavenly! All of those in the same travel group reported having a wonderful time during the trip. If not for us (my two girls and I) being sick, my husband would have enjoyed the holiday more. He ended up having to take care of us in turn.

On the days when I was physically well, I did manage to have a great time!! Proof?? I came home 2kg heavier, on Japanese snacks, sashimi and Yakitori dinners.

A Review of My Hokkaido Trip

In a post last year, I wrote about past life connections to Egypt. I had not actually visited Egypt in this physical lifetime. In comparison, my Hokkaido trip was an experiential one, letting me know about my past life connections to Furano.

I honestly cannot say that my recent holiday was the best vacation I have ever had. I’ve most certainly experienced happier ones. However, the trip to Hokkaido in December 2008 was one that I managed to gather a few life lessons, in addition to having the opportunity to clear karmic connections to this island. I am also noting how funny it is that my body is physically manifesting symptoms, attracting my attention to remove any stuck blockages that exist at soul level.

I’ve not made up my mind where to go for my next vacation. In fact, I have been wondering what will happen if I set foot in Egypt. Well, do stay tuned for adventures of a different kind – not typically reported elsewhere on the web, papers or in most books!!

Happy New Year & Renewed Beginnings

While I began 2009 with having to work on myself, I’m thinking that there is no better way to start the New Year than on a renewed state. I am also hoping to get back into the swing of posting articles twice a week. If you’ve not subscribed to my blog feeds previously, here is the rss feed to keep yourself updated.

To all my readers, have an Awesome New Year!! May all your dreams, visions and hopes come true in year 2009!
