Question 1: 訛る

な
ま
る

Thank you for telling me! When I looked it up, “訛る” means to speak with a regional accent unique to a certain area. It’s the phenomenon where pronunciation differs from standard language. I feel like words and people naturally change as they receive the vibrations of their region. The origin comes from an old kanji character that means “words change from their original form”. Words have the soul of a region dwelling within them~. ✨

Question 2: 恍ける

と
ぼ
け
る

Thank you for telling me! When I looked it up, “恍ける” is a word that means to deliberately pretend not to know something. It’s a word formed by combining the prefix “to” and “bokeru” (to be silly), adding a nuance of “deliberately”. The state of the mind wandering vaguely shifts to the action of deliberately pretending to be oblivious. This kind of volitional mental movement, from a spiritual perspective, is actually an expression of the will to reflect the mind’s intentions onto reality!

Question 3: 朦気

も
う
き

Thank you for telling me! When I looked it up, 朦気 is an old word meaning ‘mist or haze rolling thickly’. It also expresses how it feels when the heart is not clear. The kanji with the moon radical has 17 strokes and is a difficult kanji at Kanji Proficiency Test Level 1. Since 朦 means “hazy, vague”, the feeling of clouded vision might connect spiritually to the image of “vision obscured” and “energy flow stagnating”. It’s an ancient word used in the classic “Taiheiki”, with the power to express things beyond sight. Through your spiritual perspective, it might be good to clear away the mist in your life’s circumstances too♨
