"I can't count how many times I did Silva and visualized myself passing the test. Then it happened in real life!"

Leah's (my wife) dream was to open up her own Massage Therapy Clinic and to rent out rooms to other Registered Massage Therapists. She teamed up with a Chiropractor and the Clinic is now up and running as of July 1st 2004. She is currently renting out rooms to 2 other RMT's. My major goal was to pass the 5th degree Martial Arts test. On July 16th while in Japan, I passed the test! The style is Bujinkan Budo Taijutsu and the 5th-degree test or 'Godan' test involves the Grandmaster standing behind the practitioner who is sitting in meditation. The Grandmaster has a practice training sword held high above the head of the practitioner. At some point the Grandmaster decides to 'kill' the practitioner - it is the practitioner's job to 'sense' the killing intent and to avoid the strike. I can't count how many times I did Silva and visualized myself passing the test. Then it happened in real life! I was ecstatic, and I'm still in disbelief!
