Further Self-Care:)
Hot Japanese Bath (deep and soak above shoulders:) with … some Epsom salt to relieve muscle soreness.
To experiment with Yin first and then Vinyasa flow next time to feel with my very own … body lab. Calibrating the “best practice” for self.
This place reminds me of Berkeley but maybe Berkeley does not feel like this anymore. So cool that there’s free community yoga at a … Book Store & Cafe. Love.
Why are they related ?
You can find out at Asian Art Museum !
So many treasures spanning over thousand of years into antiquity – it’s all mesmerizing. Just some parts, I can play a pretend-docent about so just ask me about some of the works I consider “masterpiece” or “great works” but other areas, I will have to study up more myself …there are more than 18,000 objects in their collection !
Matcha Tea Latte made with Oat Milk … Feel the LOVE:)
It took nearly 1000 years for Buddhism, originating in the Indus Valley (India &) to finally land in the island country of Japan …probably much earlier but, officially, Year 552. It was not religion but philosophy that journeyed to Japan where it was well received among the Warrior – Samurai class and took root in the soil of Shinto-ism, Japan’s own spirituality. Today there are over 2000 temples and shrines in the ancient city of Kyoto alone (today, thriving City – it’s not a ruin, please) … BTW, temples are Buddhist; shrines are Shinto … FYI in case you are visiting:)
