Practices of Gratitude
We can express our gratitude to the persons who are not present. Let's imagine that the person is in front of us and say "Thank you". Then, these words reach the soul of that person in form of vibration.
Let's practice offering gratitude to our family members, friends, colleagues at our work place, our neighbors and even to those who don't like us.
As a result, our relationship with them will improve, and even our enemies may become kinder to us.
As shown below, we should say the name of our husband, or wife, or children, or people we are related to, and address them in low voice.
To one person, we should say in three different ways to show our gratitude.
Thank you …………………… (Name of the person)
Always thank you............ (Name of the person)
Thank you very much...... (Name of the person)
Let's prepare a list of the names of those to whom we are going to say thank you, and let's be grateful to at least 10 persons a day.
In case of couple, as our parents, our children, we can say at the same time, such as: "Thank you, father and mother", "Thank you Paul and Mary", etc.

How to talk with person's soul: High dimensional talk
Because there is no physical distance in the world of souls, it is possible to directly address to the soul of the person we have in mind and influence that person.
We can address to the soul of a person and speak frankly about our feelings, or be straightforward in saying things that we are hesitant to speak, or even apologize to that person. Once we do that, we can handle the situation smoothly when we actually meet that person. For example, when we have a disagreement with a friend due to a misunderstanding, if we apologize to him or her by explaining the reason of the misunderstanding, the next time we actually meet this friend, it will become easier to reconcile.
Method
Close your eyes, and imagine your friend (or whoever you want to talk to) is in front of you. At that moment, you can grasp your friend's feelings towards you, by seeing his/her facial expression. If the image of our friend does not smile, it means that he/she is upset with you. In this case, we should first praise him/her until he/she smiles. Then, we can speak about the matter in question.
☆Key points of a conversation between souls
We should first tune in with God and ask permission for such conversation by explaining its objective. The important things are
1) Pray strongly to God;
2) Make the objective of the conversation clear.
* Just because we were successful in the first time, if we become self-conceited and try another conversation without adjusting our vibration to God, we may end up being controlled by disturbing spirits, so we should be careful. Also, we can't perform this kind of conversation only by a mere curiosity. We should always tune in with God first.
* Method to tune in with God: practice 1.

Offering of food for ancestors
Put on the table a set of food and beverages, including alcohol. Put spoons, forks and knives by the side of each dish. Put forks and knives together. Plates, bowls and glasses can be of smaller size, because the food items would be in smaller portions. Or they may be of the normal portions if you are going to eat them later.
When you do this practice at home, the offerings can be made once a day either at lunch time or at dinner time. Put the ancestors' food set at the side of the dinner table, or on another smaller table.
Before offering food to ancestors, offer prayer to God and then invite the ancestors, as follows.
1) Ask for the permission from Creator God:
Creator of everything of the great Universe, Highest God of Light, Origin of Everything
Please allow me to do the food offering for all the ancestors of family of (full name of husband) and family of (full name of wife).
Please allow all the ancestors to receive the food, even those who are in deep hell and so my voice can't reach them. Please bring the essence of food to them.
Thank you very, very much.
2) Call the ancestors:
All the ancestors, who descend from『Creator of everything of the great Universe, Highest God of Light, Origin of Everything』, you are invited to have the food that I prepared for all of you and am offering to you now.
※Because all ancestors of the family of (full name of husband) and of the family of (full name of wife) are invited to receive the food, all the ancestors of the family of (surname of wife) can also join to have this food.
Also are invited all those as well to receive the food, who have the same surname as the ancestors but have no direct descendants.
Also are invited the employees who worked all their lives at the ancestors' home and have no direct descendants.
All the ancestors who were giving admonition to descendants because they wanted to eat or drink, please stop the admonition immediately.
3) When to take out the food from ancestors' food tray:
Leave the ancestors' food tray for about 15 - 20 minutes and then take out the food, saying:
All the ancestors, I hope you all enjoyed the food offered by me today. Please allow me to take out the food now. Thank you very much.
Don't leave the food longer because the ancestors would not feel good.You can eat or throw away the offered food.
When We Travel or Eat Outside
Before we eat, offer to ancestors first. In this case, offering time can be shortened to 5 minutes. Or we can separate a small portion of the food for ancestors.
Note:
The ※ marked sentences are to speak only during the first week, until the ancestors have knowledge. After one week, we have no need to speak those sentences.
