Mindfulness Community "Gathering" ☆ Weekly Meditation ☆ "Parasympathetic Relaxation" （ Free ・ Online ≪)

Gatherings are open to all. Whether you are a beginner or experienced, please feel free to join us.

★ Mindfulness ・ The community "Gathering" meets online every Wednesday at 8pm for meditation.
Beginners to mindfulness are also welcome. ♪


The theme this time is "Parasympathetic Relaxation".

There are two types of autonomic nerves, sympathetic and parasympathetic, which control metabolism, body temperature and organ function.

The sympathetic nervous system is active ・ and the parasympathetic nervous system is relaxed ・ and sedated, much like the "gas pedal and brake" in a car.

We modern people tend to have a sympathetic nervous system that is dominant in our daily lives, so it is important to consciously take time to relax.

This time we will practice mindfulness meditation, which incorporates stretching and breathing techniques that are said to make the parasympathetic nervous system dominant.


Looking forward to seeing you all ！

[Mindfulness ・ Community "Gathering"]

This is a free community where people who are interested in or practicing mindfulness can gather casually.
Anyone is welcome to join, regardless of experience in practice. We aim to be a place of relaxation where people can gather together in a mindful and warm atmosphere.

The community is run by Dr. Ryo Kugaya, a psychiatrist famous for his book "The Best Way to Rest", and Asuka, a mindfulness meditation teacher.
（ Based in Los Angeles ）

We are currently holding online meditation sessions and events in Corona.
You can join us from all over the world, not just Japan and Los Angeles.

I want more people to know about mindfulness and use it in their lives ！ and
I thought it would be more fun to have friends to encourage each other to continue ！ than to be alone, so I am looking for friends.

Let's deepen and expand mindfulness together ！


[What is mindfulness?
"mindfulness" means to be aware 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? ？

If we continue to practice mindfulness, we can become aware of our negative thoughts and feelings and make a conscious choice to let go of them,
and we can be more present and feel happier. You will be able to live more peacefully and consciously.
