The weather has been unclear for a while, but clear, bright sunny days are indeed pleasant.
The blue sky in Japan is a soft, gentle color. In contrast, the blue sky in Hawaii is a rich blue, full of power.
Lately, I've been hearing more from my friends (who are in the early stages of old age) about fractures and arm inflammations.
Three years ago, I fell ill, but my attitude towards my body has significantly changed since then. Before falling ill, I had little interest in my body. I wasn't an athlete, nor was I aiming to become one. I thought it would be nice just to enjoy horse riding occasionally.
I think it was a careless, lazy, and arrogant way of thinking.
Three years have passed, and after much trial and error, I've come to hold a completely different view. I used to live a somewhat difficult life, with both my body and mind being rigid (though not all rigidity has gone even now), without any hesitation.
I'm learning about "breathing techniques," which support my body. Learning about breathing techniques has made it clear how related muscles, internal organs, autonomic nerves, and brain functions improve.
This sparked my curiosity about what would happen if I relaxed my muscles.
Ultimately, this led me to learn about "meditation techniques."
Even someone like me, who lacked confidence in their body, can feel it gradually changing. In a sense,
I believe anyone can improve their body in a positive direction.
I hope my friends who fall and fracture bones every year, those who are seriously injured,
and those who are dangerously clumsy will understand that by relaxing their bodies,
they can significantly reduce the rate of falls and change their lives.
I don't want to be meddlesome, nor do I want to force anything on anyone.
