One of the purposes of travel is to get away from fast paced, stressful life. Japan has a lot to offer when it comes to opportunities to refresh yourself and rest your body and mind.
Renew Your Spirit with Meditation
Let your busy mind settle in the peaceful environment. Zazen is one of the Zen practices to obtain the serenity of mind by seating cross-legged on the floor in the silence. Meditate yourself in front of quaint Zen garden, followed by Buddhism monk’s message. Shakyo is also a popular meditation by tracing letters of Buddhist sutra with Japanese ink brush. This is also one of the Buddhism practices to fulfill your wish by reading, understanding and tracing sutra.
For yogis or yoginis, try yoga workshop in the established temple. Harmonize your body, mind and emotions, and awaken your greater energy.
