| Before joining Shinreikyo, I participated in a Shinreikyo gathering that took place in Hiroshima. There I received a miracle. The morning after the gathering, I felt a slight pain on the back of my head. I was later told by my peers that “there is a bump on your head,” where they touched my head. I had experienced my first Skull Expansion. I joined Shinreikyo in September of 2007, after participating in an event that took place in Kurashiki, in Okayama Prefecture. After joining, I had earnestly prayed to Kyososama to have my post herpetic neuralgia cured and it has gotten better now. I also experienced improvements in other areas. I cannot see it, since it is the back of my head, but my peers told me, “downy hair is growing” around the area where my hair was thinning and balding. Within two years, the parietal region of my head, and other areas, began to grow hair. Also, as a whole, my hair began to noticeably darken. I used to see faraway places as if they were covered in clouds. That has changed. Now my long distance vision is clear. After experiencing Skull Expansion on the parietal region of my head, I was filled with joy every time I touched it, because I knew I was blessed. Skull Expansion has brought improvements in my personality, attitude and outlook. It has also helped with my work. I am a licensed traditional craftsman, still working at age 68. I continue to make handmade chopsticks until this day. Currently, we are in a difficult situation where we must compete with many low priced chopsticks being imported from China. We must maintain higher quality, or else be forced out of business. Regardless of such a situation, I became optimistic after Skull Expansion. I also noticed my motivation towards work increased. Our customers continue to praise our chopstick, which has allowed me to continue working. It has been seven years since I joined Shinreikyo. Since then I have had improvements with my hair, vision, and personality. I also suspect that I have been receiving many blessings in areas I am not even aware of. I am thankful to have received so many blessing through Shinreikyo. |
