The Water is Back in the Rice Paddies

Last Sunday, I went Satoyama cycling again and saw the rice fields with water. This is the great element of Satoyama cycling I told you about last week. You get to see changes in seasons and the process of food production.

Natural Gardening: Shizenha Bio-Hacking

Today, I would like to share with you another Shizenha bio-hacking method, natural gardening. Natural Gardening is based on Natural Farming, but it is just gardening, not farming. You grow vegetables naturally in your small garden. Because it isn’t farming, you can be more playful with it, and try Masanobu Fukuoka’s method of letting vegetables grow wildly.

Takigyo: Shizenha Bio-Hacking

Takigyo is to be under a waterfall as part of spiritual training done by Shugendo practitioners. This can be a Shizenha bio-hacking method.

Intermittent Digital Fasting: Shizenha Bio-Hacking

Shizenha Bio-Hacking is the same as Bio-Harmonizing or Japanese Bio-Hacking I have been talking about. No matter how much you practice intermittent fasting, working out with HIIT, and having the perfect diet, there is one thing that is distracting your bio-hacking.

That is technology.

So today I will share with you a method to help you stay connected to the natural world while keeping the digital lifestyle.

British Farming vs. Japanese Farming

I watched Clarkson’s Farm on Amazon prime the other day, and was very surprised to see how British farming was different from Japanese farming.

Satoyama Cycling: Japanese Bio-Hacking

Satoyama cycling is another form of bio-harmonizing, Japanese bio-hacking. It is country cycling, and what is wonderful about it is you can be aware of natural surroundings.

Shindofuji: Japanese Bio-Hacking

Shindofuji is another concept in bio-harmonizing, Japanese bio-hacking. It was originally a concept in Zen Shojin Diet and now has become part of the Japanese natural food movement.

24 Hours Fasting

On the summer solstice day, I also did 24 hours fasting for the first time. I finished eating at 8 pm on Sunday night and didn’t eat till 8 pm on Monday, so I didn’t eat for 24 hours. I have skipped breakfast and lunch before, but usually, that becomes 23 hours fast or 22 hours fast depending on what time you have dinner. To do a full 24 hours fast you need to have dinner a little later than the previous night.
