With the power of belief, the illness was cured―.

Suddenly, atopic dermatitis appeared

When I was 16 years old, my gambling-addicted father stopped coming home, and my parents divorced. It was shocking, but my mother worked hard to support me and my three siblings.

After graduating from high school, I aspired to become a nursery teacher and started a part-time job in the entertainment industry to save money for tuition.

However, my income disappeared on living expenses and clothing, and my savings never increased. On the contrary, I was swept away by my surroundings, leading a chaotic life, and I ended up partying until dawn every day.

Meanwhile, my friends of the same age were enjoying fulfilling university lives, and I felt very ashamed of my self-indulgent lifestyle.

(I don't want to show this side of myself to anyone...)

I gradually became afraid of meeting people and started to avoid others. I quit my part-time job in the entertainment industry after about two years and spent my days isolating myself at home.

At that time, I suddenly developed atopic dermatitis. The rash spread all over my body, I couldn't sleep due to the itching, and soon my hair started to fall out.

(Why is this happening to me...)

The hospital's medications hardly worked.

My mother, a believer in Happy Science, recommended books by President Ryuho Okawa to me. I was also a believer, but until then, I hadn't deeply studied the teachings. With a strong desire to recover quickly,

'About 70% of illnesses have their cause in the heart' (※3)

It is taught that skin diseases like atopic dermatitis

'Have an allergy to other people in interpersonal relationships' (※4)

I began to study these teachings.

On the other hand,

(Someone like me, who has lived selfishly, can't possibly be helped by God)

I also felt a sense of self-blame, and my heart remained troubled.

When I reflected on my heart through monk training...

About two years after the onset of atopic dermatitis, my aunt, who was actively involved in Happy Science, worried about me and recommended monk training at the temple.

(Maybe this situation could change something... I think I'll give it a try)

Having seen my sister become brighter through monk training at Sendai Seishinkan (※5), I decided on the same place. At the temple, I deeply reflected on my heart through listening to teachings, prayers, meditation, and work.

I listened to the teaching CD of 'The Law of the Future' preached by President Okawa, which became my support.

'For those who believe, illnesses will be cured. (Omitted) Depending on the self-image you hold, your own physical design will change.'

(By changing my heart, my atopic dermatitis will also improve―)

I vividly imagined myself cured of atopic dermatitis. When I meditated, my heart strangely began to feel at peace.

Also, remembering the 'spiritual worldview' that 'people are born to engage in soul training',

(Any hardship or difficulty can become material to refine my soul. By learning these teachings and changing myself, I can grow)

I became more positive.

However, the symptoms did not improve immediately, and there were days when my whole body itched and I couldn't sleep.
When I woke up in the morning, I found peeling skin and dozens of hairs stuck to my pillow and sheets.

However, the people at the temple treated me cheerfully without caring about my appearance.
Touched by everyone's kindness, I had this thought.

(I had only been thinking about my appearance and how I was hurt until now... But I also want to be someone who can bring happiness to those around me―)

Gradually, I began to make an effort to smile and brighten those around me, and I put my heart into my work, thinking, 'I will make it shine.'

'Lord, please help me―'

Two months after starting monk training, the advice I received from the director of Sendai Seishinkan became a significant turning point for me.

“Mr. S. If you want to ask the Lord for help, try praying sincerely from your heart.” (※6)

(Huh? Is it really okay for someone like me to ask the Lord for help...?)

I thought, (I feel sorry for asking God for anything.) However, I accepted the director's advice and tried praying to the Lord in front of the main deity.

“Lord... I have developed atopy. Please help me—”

For the first time at that moment, I was able to open my heart sincerely and pray. It felt as if I was enveloped in the divine light of the heavenly realm, and my whole body became warm.
Surprisingly, from that night on, the intense itching that had been so painful began to subside.

With smooth skin!

Within a month, the rough skin all over my body gradually peeled away, revealing smooth and beautiful skin. I no longer needed medication, and my atopy was completely cured.

(The power of faith is truly amazing—)

Through my training as a monk, I came to truly believe that "I am a child of the divine." I learned to value myself, and now I have a job that allows me to interact with children, which has been my dream, and I am very happy.

Also, thanks to my monk training, I was able to overcome my social anxiety and build good relationships with friends.

I realized that there is meaning in every suffering, and that by believing in the divine and making an effort, life can be restarted. I want to share the greatness of this teaching with many people.

Change your heart, change your future

By changing your heart, your environment changes, people change, and your future changes.
At the root of this is the power of faith. (Omitted)

Depending on what kind of worldview you have and what kind of self-image you hold, the design of your own body will change.

The red blood cells, white blood cells, and lymphocytes in your blood also carry strong spiritual life force and are active every day.
These things change based on "what kind of thoughts you emit."
