🌈 Episode Overview
In this episode, we explore a different way of thinking about English learning—one that moves beyond tests, techniques, and “shoulds.”

Drawing from Abby’s experience teaching English in Japan and Eiji’s personal journey as a learner, we talk about the gap between studying English as a subject and using English as a living language. Many learners can read, write, or pass exams, yet still struggle to communicate freely—and we examine why that happens.

We discuss how curiosity changes the quality of input, why forcing yourself to study topics you don’t care about often backfires, and how real improvement tends to happen when you’re focused on understanding ideas rather than learning English itself.

The conversation also touches on motivation, perfectionism, and common misunderstandings around practices like dictation—especially for intermediate and advanced learners who already understand a lot, but feel stuck.

Rather than asking how to study English more efficiently, this episode invites you to consider a different question:
What do you genuinely want to explore—in any language?

🌈 Episode Overview

In this episode, Abby and Eiji explore a core idea from the book:

The universe has already received your wish — but manifestation unfolds through alignment, not force.

They discuss how free will, vibration, and belief systems interact in the manifestation process, and why desires often take time to appear in physical reality. Rather than seeing this delay as a failure, the conversation reframes it as a natural outcome of emotional and vibrational adjustment.

The episode also touches on the role of affirmations, how mindset shapes results, and why resistance to a desired future can unintentionally slow its realization.

At its heart, this conversation emphasizes a simple but powerful insight:

The universe responds not to words alone, but to the vibrations and beliefs you consistently hold.

🌈 Episode Overview
In this episode, we explore a core idea from Abraham’s teachings: the reality you are experiencing now is the result of your past vibration.

Eiji and Abby discuss why manifestation often feels delayed, and how the time gap between asking and receiving plays a crucial role in reality creation.

Using metaphors such as movies, scripts, and autopilot mode, the conversation explains how much of our daily life is lived reactively, following patterns set by earlier emotional and vibrational states.

We also talk about free will—not as the ability to change what is already happening, but as the freedom to choose how we interpret experiences and what kind of vibration we send toward future moments.

A key theme of this episode is that asking is not about forcing outcomes. It is about sending a signal in the present, while understanding that what we see now may simply be the echo of past states.

Rather than judging current circumstances, this episode invites listeners to see them as information—and to gently shift their inner state toward the reality they want to experience next.

🌈 Episode Overview

In this episode, we explore the Law of Attraction and what Abraham—the original source behind these teachings—is truly pointing us toward.

Eiji and Abby begin by discussing common understandings of the Law of Attraction, often shaped by books like The Secret, and then move deeper into the ideas presented in Ask and It Is Given.

We talk about who or what Abraham is, not as a single being, but as a collective, non-physical consciousness formed by intention. The conversation introduces the idea that we, too, are extensions of non-physical source energy, living simultaneously in a physical and non-physical reality.

A key theme of this episode is the role of emotion and feeling. Rather than focusing on effort or control, Abraham’s teachings emphasize “feeling good now” and tuning oneself into a state of receiving.

We also discuss alignment, detachment from outcomes, affirmations, and the idea that we only hear what we are ready to hear. Instead of forcing manifestation, the episode invites listeners to shift perspective—from trying to make things happen to allowing what is already aligned to arrive.

This episode offers a deeper, more nuanced introduction to the Law of Attraction beyond beginner-level explanations.

🌈 Episode Overview In this episode, Abby and Eiji explore In this episode, we explore why many top performers and high achievers place such strong value on spiritual guidance.

Eiji and Abby discuss a common pattern seen among successful people: despite being logical and realistic, many of them trust intuition, belief, and forces that cannot be fully explained rationally.

The conversation touches on intuition, openness, and the absence of resistance, as well as the idea that luck, energy, and vibration can be “managed” through mindset and alignment.

We also talk about visualization and belief systems, and how high achievers often have a clear vision of what they want, paired with deep trust in a higher power or source beyond personal control.

Rather than forcing outcomes, many successful people see themselves as receivers of guidance, following a path aligned with their personal mission.

This episode invites listeners to reconsider what success really means, and how spiritual awareness, intuition, and belief may play a deeper role than we usually acknowledge.

🌈 Episode Overview

In this episode, we explore how breathwork can help us protect our energy, calm the nervous system, and return to a state of presence.

Building on our previous conversation about energy exchange, Eiji and Abby talk about how words, emotions, and other people’s energy can affect us, and how breathing helps create distance and stability.

We discuss breathwork as a foundation for meditation, yoga, and relaxation, and how deep breathing can intentionally shift brain states from beta to alpha and even theta.

Eiji shares his daily meditation practice, explaining how controlled breathing can help access a deeply relaxed state, while Abby reflects on meditation as observation rather than trying to “stop” thoughts.

The conversation emphasizes that meditation does not need to look perfect or formal. It can be as simple as breathing, observing thoughts, and learning to stay present in everyday life.

This episode offers a grounded introduction to breathwork as a practical tool for awareness, emotional balance, and living more meditatively.

🌈 Episode Overview
In this episode, we explore the question: do our energies affect each other?

Continuing from our previous discussion on energy, Eiji and Abby talk about the relationship between energy and emotion, and how we constantly exchange energy with the people and environments around us.

We discuss the idea of energy feeling “light” or “heavy,” and how emotions such as anger, sadness, or joy can shape the atmosphere of a room. Everyday examples like tense situations, concerts, and shared emotional moments help illustrate how energy can feel contagious.

The conversation also touches on how animals and pets often radiate calm and positive energy, why giving and receiving gifts can be seen as an exchange of energy, and how gratitude plays a role in these interactions.

We also begin to explore negative energy, emotional exhaustion, and the importance of being aware of and protecting one’s energy in daily life.

This episode offers a grounded, relatable look at energy as something we all experience, even if we don’t usually think about it in spiritual terms.

🌈 Episode Overview
In this episode, we explore a deeper question: how do we perceive reality?

Building on our previous discussion about energy, Eiji and Abby talk about manifestation, reality, and how our perception shapes what we experience.

Eiji shares the idea of reality as a single frame in a film, where only the present moment truly exists, while the past and future are information rather than fixed states.

We also discuss the concept of a life “blueprint,” where major events and important people may be predetermined, while many choices and paths remain flexible—much like a video game with main quests and optional paths.

Through metaphors such as movies, video games, and parallel realities, the conversation explores how each person may be living in their own version of reality, briefly sharing the same world before diverging again.

This episode invites listeners to reflect on what reality really is, how perception works, and who might be observing our experience from a deeper level.
