MIRAI CODE · Open Hands Receive
To You Straining Too Hard to Make It All Work
Hands clenched full can't receive what's offered — and letting go was never giving up.
Mirai — a Future Decoder who reads the sounds of your name
The harder you try to force things right, the more, somehow, they spin their wheels. Are you clutching every last thing in both fists — worn clean to the bone?
In my readings, I meet so many people who, telling themselves "I have to be the one to fix this," carry everything — until they can't move at all.
Once, in my life, I lost it all. Work, money, a place to live.
Until then, I could only teach in person — a way of working chained to a time and a place. "There's no other way to do it," I was certain. But that way had every road blocked. I had no choice but to let go of the working life I'd been clenching in my fist.
From there, over the course of a year, I arrived at a method all my own — reading a person's essence through the sounds of their name. And it turned out to be work I could do anywhere, with just a phone.
From the moment I wake to the moment before sleep. Wherever I am, from whatever hour. No commute. No start-up cost. — Honestly, no makeup required; I can do it in my pajamas (laugh). All I need is a single phone call. That is all.
Beyond the hand I'd clenched so long, so sure that "this is the only way" — a way of working this free had been waiting. Ironic, isn't it. Had every road not been blocked back then, I don't think I'd ever have reached the freedom I have now.
With both hands full, you can't receive anything new
Picture it: if your arms are piled full, you can't take hold of something newly held out to you.
The heart is just the same. The more you clench, insisting "it has to be this way," the less room there is for a new tie, or a new chance, to come in.
Letting go is not giving up
To let go is not to give up, nor to throw in the towel.
It is to trust the flow — "It's alright; things will work out." Set down, just for a moment, what you have held so long. And strangely, what never came while you strained can, all at once, come drifting in.
The sounds of your name tell you what to keep hold of
That said — you don't need to let go of everything.
The sounds of your name tell you what, by nature, is yours to treasure — the core you truly want to keep in hand. Knowing it, you can tell apart what's alright to release from what to hold close.
What I am really doing, in every reading
So I never open a reading with "let it go." First, from the sounds of your name, we find together the core you truly want to keep.
It is the strangest thing: once what to keep is clear, everything else, you find you can set down — softly, of your own accord. "You don't have to carry all of it." At that one sentence, so many people tell me they could, at last, take a deep breath.
In the end
Letting go is a frightening thing. But it is the emptied hand, precisely, that the new comes into.
Today, won't you set down, softly, one thing you've been clenching? It will flow, I think, better than you expect.
