When we are sick or injured, we go to a hospital to see a doctor for treatment or hospitalization. In this case, the patient wants to get back to normal and regain his/her life as soon as possible, so he/she obeys the doctor’s instructions and follows them to the letter.
On the other hand, what about the case of a person who has lost a loved one and is experiencing grief? As in the case of illness, the desire to be free from grief and suffering naturally arises. However, what about the reality? 15 years of “Wind Phone” activities have shown that many people continue to be immersed in a sense of grief, albeit unwillingly. After a long time, many of them realize that they cannot go on like this and feel they must somehow get out of this suffering. Or they may isolate themselves with their grief and fall into a state of depression. Grief is a state of “heartbreak” along with injury or illness. However, it cannot be cured by medicine or surgery. There are therapists, but it is important for the person concerned to have a strong desire to return to his or her original state of vitality.
Psychologist Dr. Hayao Kawai says, “It is the patient, not the doctor, who heals the wounds of the mind, and the only thing the doctor can do is to watch and help the patient heal by himself. The only thing that doctors can do is to watch over and help the patients heal on their own. (2) The person concerned must have a strong spirit for recovery. (3) Someone to stand by and watch over them and support them. The “Wind Phone” is a therapy that is conducted by oneself without a therapist, in which one becomes aware of one’s own self-healing power through self-questioning on a black phone.
