Today, March 11th, “The Phone of the Wind” was featured in yahoo top news. Article of the Japan Agricultural News “The Phone of the Wind” to heaven It is Otsuchi Town, Iwate Prefecture, where you can live with unhealing wounds. When I read it, I notice that it contains some reporter’s creations.
The “The Phone of the Wind” was created the year before the Great Earthquake, and the truth is that the death of his cousin was the trigger. Rather, it is open to all people who have a sense of loss.
Today, nine years after the Great Earthquake, I would like to express my current feelings as a “The Phone of the Wind” installer, as stated in the title.
Many people died in the great earthquake. No one died in hopes. Everyone would have wanted to live more and more. There are many people who couldn’t live even if they wanted to. Many people still have a hard time because they can never meet their loved ones in just a moment. Because of these facts, I am aware of myself being “lived” and find my “life” in continuing activities that create a place of heart.
Losing a loved one is very painful. You won’t be able to stand up for a while. However, at one point, when I look back on the happy days and words of my loved ones, my family and friends who lived with me, I have to reorganize my life in a new environment, not in the past. You will notice.
Grief care by “The Phone of the Wind” is a therapy without a therapist that awakens the self-healing power of each individual, and is a therapy performed by the person holding the grief. (People rarely change when someone tells them, but they try to do what they are convinced of and change.)
People live with dreams and hopes in their lives. And because of that, it leads to a rich way of life. However, dreams and hopes are not real but fictional worlds. It’s so-called fiction, it’s a myth. You can think of it as a story. Yes, one can think of creating his own story in life and living in that world. And when you lose your loved one, those who are left behind will be cut off from the story. Dreams and hopes will also stop. Especially in the event of a sudden disaster, accident, suicide, etc., I am not prepared for my heart and feel confused and hopeless about what to do from now on.
The bigger the dream so far, the bigger the degree. Therefore, in order to heal the bereaved, it is necessary to re-spin the story. And the sensibility and imagination of human beings are important for the work. In addition, human beings have a spiritual activity to recover what they have lost, and healing requires a story of being able to reunite and reconnect with the deceased. I think it is the person’s sensibility and imagination that creates this new story.
It is a self-discovery and an expression of self-consciousness to come to “The Phone of the Wind” and ask yourself a question on a telephone that is not connected to the telephone line. It becomes clear what you are sad, what you are suffering from, and what you are angry with. The work leads to the reflection of the story so far and the creation of a new story, and the days that were cut off will be regained even for a moment, and the survivors must be aware of the new development of the story. That leads to the creation of the power to live. We also believe that it will encourage the shift of consciousness from despair to hope and create the power to live a new life while having sadness.
If you can change your consciousness, you need to accept that the current situation is necessary for your life. By accepting it, you can take a step forward. No one is restraining your freedom with a grief. From an objective point of view, you can see that you have barbed wire in your heart and deprive you of your freedom. Nothing is restraining you.
You are free to act. You can do whatever you want. It’s a good idea to come to “The Phone of the Wind”. Do what you like. Please open your heart a little and accept nature obediently. People have originally evolved in nature. It doesn’t change even in modern times. It has been scientifically proven that when a loved one is lost in a disaster or accident and the heart is hurt and the vitality is reduced, the heart is healed and the power to live is obtained by watching and nurturing the greenery. Even during the Great East Japan Earthquake, there were many people who lived in temporary facilities and were hurt and said, “I just need one potted plant that doesn’t need anything.” Green is an element necessary for human life to be physiologically and mentally stable. When your heart is hurt and your vitality is weakened, put yourself in nature, feel the cycle of nature, and entrust yourself to the rhythm of nature. Of course, you can also visit Bell Gardia KUJIRAYAMA, which has a “The Phone of the Wind”. This is described by the British royal family’s cue garden as “this garden is the English garden itself.” I would like to invite all of you who are still suffering from trauma (maybe it was a lip service) to visit us once.
