Wednesday the 27th was a special day called Tenshabi, which is a day when everything you do is forgiven by gods. It was a good day to start something new. So, I decided to shoot a video with a podcast microphone.
Bio-Harmonizing on Summer Solstice
Looking at sunrise is a great way to bio-harmonize. You want to do that on days like solstices or equinoxes, but in general, it is good to absorb the morning sunshine. If you can’t get up before sunrise, it doesn’t matter, you can still look at the morning sun and do Shinon Kansha meditation.

Happy Spring Equinox in the Age of Aquarius

International Day of Happiness
In addition to being the spring equinox, it is the International Day of Happiness tomorrow. Last year I published the Japanese version of the Ikigai Diet, and celebrated it with our local sake called happy. It is Japanese sake and it was brewed locally in Hino Town by an Omi-Hino-merchant called Yao Brewery.
