Happy 8th Birthday Elian ❤️

Santa is everywhere!

Since some of you are curious about my time in Japan, here is a little bit about what I got up to.
Elian (my 6 year old) and I had an amazing time visiting Holy Sites and attending the 65th Anniversary Ceremony of Sukyo Mahikari. We were blessed with many divine arrangements during our stay in Takayama. On arrival at the first Holy Site we visited (Hikaru Seido), a sacred site at the foothills of Mount Kurai, a circular rainbow appeared in the sky overhead. According to one of the site staff, the rainbow stayed for the duration of our stay and disappeared when we left.
We also visited the Sukyo Mahikari Youth Centre. The vibration of purity in this place always touches my heart and tears flow whenever I make prayers here.
At the Hikaru Memorial Museum, we saw a piece of Noah's arc! The museum is based on the tenet "The origin of the earth is one, the origin of the universe is one, the origin of humankind is one, and the origin of all religions is one."
On the morning of Taisai (the Grand Autumn Ceremony), I woke up at 4:30am and looked out my hotel window to see a large white light/cloud behind Suza (the World Shrine). Everything was pitch black except for this white light. I continued to look out the window on and off until 6am. I realised that Aiwakan (called the second Noah's arc) was directly behind Suza and this is where the white light/cloud was overhead. The cloud actually turned into the shape of Noah's arc! Our Ceremony that day was inside Aiwakan (translates to a place of love and harmony). Furthermore, it had been raining since the evening before the Ceremony with 100% forecast of rain for our Ceremony day. When the curtains parted for our Ceremony, I looked outside and the sky had cleared. I have heard of many experiences where the sun comes out when the Holy Masters make prayers. When the Ceremony concluded and we went back to our bus, the rain resumed. The Light during the Ceremony was powerful. Elian really felt the purification energy from the prayers. We feel very blessed to have been able to participate in the Ceremony and visit several Holy Sites.
If you are interested in receiving a session of True Light, there is a Welcome Day at the Sukyo Mahikari Centre in Chatswood on Sunday 24th November from 11am-4pm. 87 Stanley St. Chatswood. If you're in the Central Coast, I will be at the Kariong Neighbourhood Centre giving Light from 2-5pm on Saturday 30th November. You are more than welcome to come along. Sukyo means Universal Principles and Mahikari means True Light. It's an energy that purifies the spirit, mind and body.
Sending gratitude and smiles,
Vanessa

One of my Pilates students organised a wonderful birthday party for me. I feel so lucky to be around such kind, caring, thoughtful, incredible people. The food was all home made and delicious. I'm very grateful to everyone who came along to celebrate with me. Especially to Ann Manning who opened up her home and did an amazing job making me feel special.
