Hello beautiful souls!
I participated in a spiritual and wellness festival last month, hosted by Sydney’s largest second-hand bookstore.
Interestingly, the event took place on 22/02 — a date known in Japan as “Cat Day”! The reason for this is a playful Japanese word association: the number 222 can be read as nyan-nyan-nyan, which sounds like “meow-meow-meow.”
The festival was held during the week of the Lunar New Year, and the theme was “2026 Fortune Messages.” I was there offering crystal readings.
On the morning of the event, I intuitively selected the crystals for the day’s sessions. Each time I looked at the set I had chosen, I wondered why those particular stones had come forward. And each time, during the sessions, the reason revealed itself.
That day, I actually picked up two aquamarine tumble stones, which is quite unusual for me, as I rarely choose multiple pieces of the same type.
As it turned out, a pair of clients came for a reading together, and both were drawn to the aquamarines at the same time. I had intuitively selected two that morning — something I rarely do. That day, two were exactly what was needed.
Every session unfolded a unique story — one co-created by the client, the crystals, and the surrounding energy — bringing moments that felt nothing short of miraculous.
After the event, we celebrated the bookstore’s 22nd anniversary since opening in Sydney. With many new faces, delicious food shared together, and joyful conversations and laughter, it was a beautiful way to close the day.
Thank you for stopping by. 🙏🌈
