The closer a person moves toward the summit, the lonelier it becomes.
At the end of last year, a neurosurgeon came to see me from Kobe.
He seemed deeply burdened. I read the various emotions surrounding his body and released them.
About a month and a half later, he returned.
He said he felt much better compared to December.
However, he had decided to run for a professorship, and the entanglements that came with it had once again taken a toll on him.
The emotions swirling around the body are difficult for a person to fully understand and process alone.
That is why someone like me — a third party — senses them, gives them language, and helps reorganize them through treatment.
Every month, Mr. Isoe also travels from Kitami, Hokkaido.
We have known each other for five years now.
I continue to identify and release the emotions that accumulate in his body with precision.
They always leave saying, “Thank you.”
But having them travel such distances, I am the one who feels gratitude.
It is from these daily accumulations that Daily Support was born.
A service that transcends distance, supports daily life, and quietly stands beside people.
It originated from the practice of observing my own parents remotely every single day.
(Though I still believe that physically coming to the salon, stopping by, and returning home also carries its own form of healing. I intend to continue the salon.)
Over the next ten years, I want to expand this service.
There are now more than 200 KaradaNaoru trainees in total.
Around 100 remain active.
Only a little over a dozen attend the monthly continuation sessions.
If this service spreads, I hope to begin with those dozen and gradually expand outward together.
Ideally, remote support — and even KaradaNaoru itself — should be examined scientifically and quantified.
Mr. Isoe, who serves as a specially appointed professor at a national university, has expressed interest in turning this into academic research. For that, I am sincerely grateful.
In 2009, I founded an online language school.
In 2018, I opened a bodywork salon.
Roughly every ten years, I seem to release a service that becomes the core of my life.
Daily Support is the third.
With the first two, I began with several companions, yet eventually found myself alone.
This time will be different.
From the beginning, the foundation will be equality —
equal relationships among providers and equal relationships with those we serve.
I want this service to be supported by a structure of mutual gratitude.
A system where no one depends on anyone else, and everyone can live out their lives in health.
If life is like climbing a mountain, then yes — the summit is death, the ultimate solitude.
But until then, why not climb together?
Laughing, talking, walking side by side.
No one superior. No one inferior.
If we can simply exist without emotional entanglement,
the body can express its original potential.
Daily Support is meant to be that kind of catalyst.
Human beings are inherently contradictory.
Our emotions fluctuate.
We are pulled by desire.
We hesitate, often.
That is precisely why perhaps we need a small, loving structure.
What I aim for is a system built on mutual gratitude and health.
Using the professional knowledge learned through KaradaNaoru,
I monitor individuals daily in a simple, structured way.
Life does not become richer simply because intersections increase.
It becomes richer when there is a gaze of gratitude quietly watching.
That is all.
And I want to expand something that carries that meaning.
