Why do you feel calm when you're on the train? Are you always busy with work? "Busy" is written as losing one's heart (busy = heart + death), and it also leads to forgetting important things (forgetting = death + heart). Sometimes it's a good idea to leave the world and go on a trip by train. You want to be free from the stress of everyday life and relax your mind and body.

In recent years, mindfulness has been attracting international attention. This is a way of life that cherishes "now and this moment" and acts. In the West, it is a psychotherapy used in psychosomatic medicine, and in the East, it is a religious and meditation-like concept. As a practice, mindfulness meditation has also been practiced in medical and welfare settings. Specifically, we will get rid of the confusion and sharpen the senses of the five senses (hearing, sight, smell, taste, touch). It is important to accept as it is without making any judgment.

This training is actually possible without any special facilities or instructors. I decided to get on the train, recognize all the information that comes into my eyes and ears, and look straight at it. The natural scenery flowing out of the window and the sound scenery such as the sound emitted from the train are all accepted as they are. It is a training that calms the mind, calms the mind, and enhances oneself.
