陽気に誘われて生き物が土から出てくる啓蟄。今年の春は新しい楽器とスポーツに挑戦。Eskimo has 50 different words of snow. Japan has 24 season names breaking down to 72 detail seasons. Each detail season has meanings, different colors associated, things to expect, what to be careful with. Can we take the journey together, learning from ancient people's wisdom. We are in Keichitsu, which means the Yang Qi is in the air, attracting the creatures to come out of the ground. Spring is on its way. It is time to stretch, going outside to take a walk and welcome the young warm energy around us.

Japanese Acupuncturists train the sensitivity of our hands to identify the precise acupuncture points for each patient. A hair-thin needle, with the subtle and precise manipulation makes it effective. 今日も鍼について、少し語ってます。髪の毛より細い鍼なんですが、毎日患者さんのことを思い鍼をしてますといろんなことが見えてくる気がします。

Good morning! I’d like to share the breathing method that I do several times a day to regulate the nervous system, digestions, and improve circulation in the body. One of the most important elements of the traditional Asian medicine is the direction of movement and the breathing method embraces it. この呼吸法を一日何度かやります。疲れてる時、もうちょっとやる気が欲しい時など。

The eminent 17th century practitioner Kaibara wrote a book on Yojo. Yo 養 means nourish and cultivate something precious. Jo 生 is your life and body. The Yojo Acupuncture system is to regulate three key areas: stress, digestion, and blood circulation. The simple approach activates a self healing power within. ストレスを減らし、胃の消化を促し、血流を良くすると、自分の中にある体を養う力がどんどん高まってくる。嬉しいことです。

ここ3年ほど毎日、喘息のための漢方を煮てきました。効き目もすごいけれど、なにより綺麗な色だと思います。山からの贈り物。It has been three years since I have started brewing herbal medicine for asthma every day. The effect on asthma and bronchitis is astonishing but most of all, I’m in love with the color and texture of plants. Gifts from the mountain. 💜💜

Wonderful day doing tea and calligraphy ❤️

When I painted this art, I felt, I was hitting the bottom of my life. I found a small courage to climb. Climb up a mountain. A big mountain in front of me. Lately, I realized that a mountain is there, just the same way I'm there. I simply enjoy walking in the mountain now, and do not see it as something that I need to conquer. It's not that I'm giving up. I'm finding a different way to live harmoniously. Nature has the effect on people. It is easier to understand how things are. SEN-GA-DAICHI KAII-KONRYU are words spoken by Dogen Zen monk back in 12th century in Japan. It means, Mountain, River, and Earth. They are the Budgha. For that reason, antient people had a small essense of Nature inside of the house such as painting, calligraphy, and small flower arrangement. Doesn't that make sense? DM me if you are interested in an art print of this mountain. I hope you have something small at home to remind you of Nature. この絵を描いたころ、人生の底にいるような気がしました。そして、小さな希望というか勇気を探し、また山を登ろうと。目の前の大きな山を。最近、思うんですが、山は登らんでもよいと。笑。山の中を歩いているとそういう気になってくるんですね。今日は道元禅師の正法眼蔵から、山河大地（ｾﾝｶﾞ ﾀﾞｲﾁ）皆依建立（ｶｲｲ ｺﾝﾘｭｳ）。山、川、大地とそれが仏そのものであると。当然のことなのでしょうか、読みながら、１２世紀頃の日本語と、今の日本語は、漢字や単語などだいぶ違うなあと。それでも、道元禅師の言葉が読めることが嬉しいかな。きっと、道元禅師は、そんなもん、読まんでいいよと言う気がしますが。皆さん、お元気ですか？
