＜ Message from Dr. Kugaya ＞

"We are creating a mindfulness ・ community, a place where Kugaya and others can do mindfulness together. The frequency is irregular, about once every few months, and the content is loose, not a class. It may be similar to a "retreat," where we sometimes relax and change the atmosphere to practice mindfulness. In any case, we hope it will be a place where everyone can gather freely and casually. Please stop by."


Looking forward to seeing you all ♪



[What is mindfulness]

"Now ・ here" （ "Breathing, body "awareness" of what you are experiencing without judging what you are experiencing.

As busy modern people, we are often on autopilot, swept up in our own automatic thoughts and feelings, or information from the outside.
In fact, the only time we have is "now," but we are not living in the "now. Don't you think this is a waste of time? ？

With continued practice of mindfulness, you can become aware of your negative thoughts and feelings and make a conscious choice to let go of them,
be more present and feel happiness more easily, and so on. You will be able to live more peacefully and consciously.
