About the Tokyo Tour 2006

Before the trip I made a very precise wish list on what I would need in Tokyo.

I painted a clear picture of the accommodation/session room I wanted and in what area, on how the organizing would work, how many sessions I wanted to give and also the possibility to reach more people through attention from the media.

I also felt that I really would like to meet a woman I would be able to connect with and wrote it down in detail. After two years of ‘abstinence’ I felt a readiness in me again, so I put it on my wish list as well.

In my meditation I went through every detail of my vision and connected as deep as possible with the joy I could feel by creating this reality. I’ve send it out into to Universe, letting go completely from any more thoughts about it, curious on how Spirit would respond...

With the help of Chris and Elli everything what had to be organized gradually fell into place. I had met both of them at one of my Talks on my visit in 2005 and Elli became my interpreter. A friendship between the three of us developed and before I went back to New Zealand we agreed that they would be my organizers for the 2006 Tour.

What was still not resolved six weeks before my arrival this time was my accommodation and session room and I began to get a bit nervous...

I remember Elli's call vividly, telling me they just had received an offer to rent a nice house in the Omotesando area. Both of them had wished for moving into a place like this for some month now. We checked the place over the phone with my guide Muram and it became clear that it was their place to be... Despite many people lining up already to rent the place, amongst other 'obstacles', within two weeks they became the new tenants - against all odds.

The house was big enough for all of us, so my accommodation and session room also became realized in a very unexpected way. And it was in the area that I had visualized in the first place, even the Tatami room I had wished for was provided.

In my experience the answer to a wish usually comes in unexpected ways and in it's own 'time' as well, trying to have it in a particular way and at a particular time is just a waste of energy and can be very frustrating. The trick is to do what ever you can and then let go and trust...

Shortly before I left New Zealand an email arrived from a film director, saying he would like to meet me in Tokyo and possibly make a documentary about my work. At the time it sounded quite vague and I didn't make to much out of it. But I would meet him anyway and then see, maybe it was the answer to my wish on more media publicity?

More then two hundred One on One sessions, four Talks and four Workshops happened during the 10 weeks, I needed all my strength and determination. At the same time it was delightful to work with Japanese people again, in general they just move me a lot and my heart responds easily to them.

Compared to my last trip it was fantastic to see that any Healing process happened even faster, quite often major results appeared just after one session. Many people had breakthroughs and were able to experience for the first time the immortal Soul that they are... These experiences were so rewarding for me, that it allowed me to get on with the huge schedule. Also the company with Elli and Chris of course was a big factor in that.
After having met Tomo the director it became clear to me that his approach was very genuine, but I still had some reservations about the project. They faded away after I met Rumi from Funai Media who was interested in producing the DVD. Now I really could see it happening and that it actually was the answer to my wish, I became quite excited.

Counting it all together the shooting took at least one week. To not interfere in my already busy schedule, I decided to extend my stay for another two weeks. I remember the last shots just the day before I left Tokyo... looking at the DVD now I find it has been worthwhile the big effort and I am really grateful for the opportunity. It certainly can give people an honest and simple direction towards Spirituality...

During the project my body developed a tooth infection and my left cheek began to swell up quite significant. I still had several days booked with sessions at the time and we were in the middle of the documentary. Obviously I didn't want to appear on the DVD looking like a 'balloon', so I did everything possible with the help of Muram to bring the swelling down. It was a slow process, too slow in this case. I needed the help of a dentist and it turned out to be a extremely painful procedure. The swelling came down to a degree so that we could continue shooting, but people who know me will still recognize that I look 'a bit different' in some sequences on the DVD.

My body had given me a clear signal and I had to acknowledge the state of exhaustion I was in. Whenever I had a break, I spent time in Yoyogi Park, connecting with Mother Earth. It helped my body to re-charge at least to some extent, but I also knew that after my return to New Zealand I would need a longer period of relaxation...

When Mariko came to her first session we both felt an instant familiarity. It revealed that we were both from the same Soul-Family and later it also became clear that we had a past life experience together in Japan. After we had met several times and connected more and more our old story came vividly into my awareness. In that moment time completely disappeared and I saw myself as a Japanese warrior on a horse getting hit by a spear and an arrow. I felt the extreme pain in my body at present and tried in tears to explain to Mariko what I just had come in touch with.

She immediately was able to 'tune in' and it showed that she was with me at the time, trying to save me from dying, but without success. In a pool of tears we could see having been Samurai in Kamakura and the closest friends...

The Healing process of our old connection had started and with more insight from Muram the whole picture became crystal clear. I also could now understand why I had this feeling of 'coming home' already on my first trip to Japan and also my attraction to Kamakura, it had been the first place I visited outside of Tokyo in 2005...

Again Spirit had answered a wish of mine in unexpected ways and I was very grateful that Mariko had been guided to meet me again.

All of this happened just in the last two weeks of my stay between everything else and so our time together was very limited. But meanwhile we have met in New Zealand twice and
we will continue to do so, latest on my next visit to 'the land of the crow'...
