皆さん、こんにちは。
この度、このホームページ／ブログを妻クリスティーネと一緒に始める事になりました。
タイトルを見ると、”Serendipity”と見たことのない単語になっています。
この単語はWikipediaによると以下の意味になります。
“セレンディピティ（英語：serendipity）は、何かを探しているときに、探しているものとは別の価値あるものを見つける能力・才能を指す言葉であ る。何かを発見したという「現象」ではなく、何かを発見をする「能力」を指す。平たく言えば、ふとした偶然をきっかけに閃きを得、幸運を掴み取る能力のこ とである。”
またOxford英英辞典で調べると、以下の定義になっています。
”the fact of something interesting or pleasant happening by chance”
偶然によって起こる興味深い、または楽（嬉）しい事象。
と言う事で個人的には私達二人が提供するサービス（荒和尚による”Vascular Facilitation Process®(VFP®)“＆ジャイロトニック）、またはこのブログを読んで何らかの閃きを得たり、偶然このブログに書いてあった事がきっかけで新たな巡り会い、学び、気付きが生まれれば良いなあと考え、このホームページ／ブログの開設に至りました。
荒和尚（あらかずたか）＆クリスティーネ
Hello Everyone,
Welcome to our new Homepage/blog!
My husband and I would like to share with you our thoughts and experiences related to different topics here in Japan.
We decided to call our Homepage/blog “Serendipity Bodywork”.
If you look up the word “Serendipity” in Wikipedia, the definition is “the property of making fortunate discoveries while looking for something unrelated”. Another definition from the Oxford English dictionary is “the fact of something interesting or pleasant happening by chance”.
As you may have experienced, life’s happiest, most interesting, or fun moments often happen when you least expect it. They cannot be planned, or at least not 100%. They often take place while you are searching for something totally different, or sometimes when you are not searching at all. These moments could be the trigger to lifelong changes with you, whether it is the way you see the world or something specific in it, or the way you live your life.
One example could be finding the love of your life, as we often find it when we are not searching;) Many people call these moments pure “luck”, but I believe they are the results of years of preparation, mostly without being aware of it. Just as Oprah Winfrey defines “luck”; it is the matter of preparation meeting the opportunity.
Through the services we provide or reading our blog, we hope that we can help you to attract, or be the first step in the process of attracting even the smallest experience of serendipity, whether it is through creating a new awareness, or learning something unexpected that will help you to attract new and exciting moments in your life. This is our wish!
Kristine & Kazu
