What Exactly Is KaradaNaoru?

So… What Exactly Is KaradaNaoru?

I have known Mr. T for a long time now.I think he first came to my Meguro salon around four or five years ago.

Since then, he has attended many of the ongoing monthly training workshops I host.

In fact, I had just done a Zoom session with him last week.

Back then, he lived in Tochigi.

Now he has moved to Tokyo.

About two or three years ago, Mr. T came to the salon with a rather serious concern.

His main complaint was:

“Bleeding from the rectum.”

Not exactly a minor symptom.

Most people would probably go straight to the hospital.

But Mr. T said:

“When something like this happens, I figured Meguro was the best place to come.”

I remember feeling genuinely grateful for that level of trust.

As usual, I lightly placed my hand on his head and began observing the condition of his body.

Then suddenly, one word came into my mind:

“Snake.”

That alone was not enough for me to say anything with confidence.

Honestly, even I thought:

“…Well, that’s a strange thing to think.”

So I asked him for the name of the town where he lived in Tochigi.

Then I searched the town name together with the word “shrine” on Google.

To my surprise, there actually was a shrine carrying the exact same town name.

And the deity enshrined there was, in fact, associated with a snake.

At that point, all I could think was:

“…Seriously?”

Still, I did not want to make the situation overly dramatic.

So I simply told him:

“If it’s nearby, maybe just go visit the shrine and pay your respects.”

Later, Mr. T contacted me again.

He said that after visiting the shrine, the bleeding had stopped.

Of course, I am not trying to claim a direct cause-and-effect relationship.

It may have been pure coincidence.

Still, after observing the human body for many years, there are moments when I strongly feel a connection between:

the body,

the land,

and something deeply tied to the person themselves.

When I write stories like this, some people probably assume I conduct sessions like this all the time.

But honestly, I do not.

Out of more than 3,000 people I have worked with, experiences like this happen only very rarely.

That is why people sometimes ask me:

“So… what exactly is KaradaNaoru?”

To be honest, I sometimes wonder that myself.

But personally, I think:

“If the result is good, then perhaps that is enough.”

And by the way—

it is not only snakes.

There have also been people who seemed strangely connected to foxes and other presences as well.

But perhaps those stories are for another time.

I also write about remote support and space/environment support
