Well, if you haven’t tried meditation and are interested, there must be something near you. I was surpised to find a Vipassana center just 30 minutes from my hometown in the U.S., next to cows and a lonely stretch of highway. And a you if you ever find yourself on the Big Island of Hawaii, you might be able to join one of Mayumi Oda’s workshops there…
It was interesting to see what parts of myself came out with this new group, and to see what parts of my social self are the same here in Japan as they are in the U.S.
With the meditation, I was surprised how much difference simply paying attention to my breathing can make in how I feel.

Sounds like a fantastic opportinuty: wish I could try something like that! And spending time with people you’re meeting for the first time seems to be the best way to get to know yourself better…
