The above chart is my weekly ILP. My core practices are running (body), reading a book (mind), Zen meditation (spirit), and dream journal (shadow). I’ve practiced them for two years. Last week, I participated in a Sesshin (half-day sitting) in a Zen group. To tell you the truth, I’ve never joined a Sesshin before, but this Sesshin was wonderful to me. My mind became really tranquil… Also, I’m a member of one NPO in Japan, which supports childhood cancer patients and their parents, and I recently started to teach children English. Last Saturday was the day when I taught English, so this activity is related to “Relationship” and “Work” module. Through this activity, I reconfirmed the joyfulness of teaching.
