The last day of the three-day holiday brought unfortunate weather.
It has fully become autumn, and I feel a chill in the air.
Today, I attended a seminar I had reserved some time ago, focusing on relaxing the body through breathing. From 9 in the morning until 1 in the afternoon, I earnestly learned various breathing techniques.
I've begun to wonder if a stiff body might lead to a stiff mind. (This is just my personal opinion, so please note that others might not feel the same way. Again, it's merely my viewpoint.)
A few years ago, I was incredibly inflexible, both physically and mentally. I believe this rigidity affected my mind and even my thoughts.
On a humorous note, even my hairstylists began to remark, "Your scalp has become softer, hasn't it?" Their comments were based on
physically touching my scalp, suggesting that it has indeed become more supple. They would say, "The scalp does change over time."
It's only been a few years since I started learning these breathing techniques.
Though I'm still a novice, I believe there's much more for me to learn in this area.
I feel as though I'm undergoing personal changes. And when I reflect on these changes, I believe they also impact my interpersonal relationships.
Changing others can be an extremely challenging task, but with these breathing techniques, I think I can at least change myself. Lately, I've begun to think that this self-change might positively affect my relationships with others.
For those struggling with personal issues, mastering abdominal breathing might be an unexpectedly good strategy. At least, that's what I've come to believe.
