Instead, you will lie on your back and focus fully on <strong>fast and deep breathing<\/strong>. It will likely be a precious experience, one you\u2019ve never had before in your life.<\/p>\n<p>This type of breathing meditation is also called <strong>Holotropic Breathwork<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>The active meditation session will be led by Mr. Kakita, an expert in this field.<\/p>\n<p>Feedback from participants of past Breath Journey Meditation sessions with Mr. Kakita can be found <a href=\"https:\/\/kakita2.com\/voice_workshop\/\">here.<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>If you read the feedback, you will see that each participant had a unique experience, often feeling significant inner changes and expansions.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>It truly feels like a \"journey\".<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>I am genuinely looking forward to having a wonderful journey with those who will join us on the day.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Below is a quote from Mr. Kakita's official website:<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><strong>What you can expect from this meditation session<\/strong><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><strong>Physical (Body-related effects)<\/strong><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">\u30fbStrengthens the immune system and reduces inflammation and pain.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">\u30fbPrevents oxidation and improves endurance by making the blood more alkaline.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">\u30fbIntentionally enhances energy levels.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">\u30fbPromotes better sleep.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><strong>Mental (Mind-related effects)<\/strong><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">\u30fbDeepens trust in your abilities and talents.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">\u30fbUses breathing techniques to release internal conflicts.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">\u30fbHelps adjust fear.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">\u30fbConnects you with your true self and helps you recognize your own power.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">Are you leaving your wounded self and heart unaddressed?<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">In modern society, you might not even have time to face your own wounds.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">This may lead to avoiding the true emotions of your inner self.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">By healing yourself, you will become clearer within yourself.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">Resistance to things you\u2019ve unconsciously feared or couldn\u2019t move forward with will start to ease.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">You might even become kinder to others.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">Through breathing techniques and meditation, you will heal yourself with your inner healer.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">This will be a time that serves as a turning point to change yourself.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">Furthermore, in a group setting where you are not alone, we will conduct deep work that can only be accomplished in such an environment.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">It will bring deep healing to your true self.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">This will lead to the release of various emotions and the clearing of bodily blockages, which can be described as self-breathing therapy using breathing techniques.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">This meditation session will begin with the basics of continuing meditation in daily life and gradually lead to meditation states that cannot be experienced in everyday life.

While working as a company employee, I made a firm decision to support the world spiritually and mentally.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">Afterwards, I studied meditation, healing, and reading at schools in Japan and also spent time in India.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">I have visited India a total of five times (as of 2024).<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">I then began providing Akashic readings as a professional Akashic reader.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">I was later chosen as a supporter and instructor at a school I graduated from, gaining more experience.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">Currently, with the vision of \"releasing the light of the soul,\" I offer Akashic reading sessions, healing sessions, meditation courses, self-awareness courses, and other various programs to help people radiate their \"soul light\" into the world.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div id=\"pg-10220-7\"  class=\"panel-grid panel-has-style\" ><div style=\"padding: 100px 0; \" data-overlay=\"true\" data-overlay-color=\"#000000\" class=\"panel-row-style panel-row-style-for-10220-7\" ><div id=\"pgc-10220-7-0\"  class=\"panel-grid-cell\" ><div id=\"panel-10220-7-0-0\" class=\"so-panel widget widget_sow-image panel-first-child panel-last-child\" data-index=\"9\" ><div style=\"text-align: left;\" data-title-color=\"#443f3f\" data-headings-color=\"#443f3f\" class=\"panel-widget-style panel-widget-style-for-10220-7-0-0\" ><div\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\tclass=\"so-widget-sow-image so-widget-sow-image-default-8b5b6f678277-10220\"\n\t\t\t\n\t\t>\n<div class=\"sow-image-container\">\n\t\t<img \n\tdata-src=\"https:\/\/kota-yoshida.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/06cw-2-scaled.jpg\" width=\"1500\" height=\"997\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/kota-yoshida.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/06cw-2-scaled.jpg 1500w, https:\/\/kota-yoshida.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/06cw-2-300x199.jpg 300w, https:\/\/kota-yoshida.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/06cw-2-1024x681.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/kota-yoshida.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/06cw-2-768x511.jpg 768w, https:\/\/kota-yoshida.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/06cw-2-1000x665.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/kota-yoshida.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/06cw-2-230x153.jpg 230w, https:\/\/kota-yoshida.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/06cw-2-350x233.jpg 350w, https:\/\/kota-yoshida.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/06cw-2-480x319.jpg 480w, https:\/\/kota-yoshida.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/06cw-2-800x532.jpg 800w, https:\/\/kota-yoshida.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/06cw-2-272x182.jpg 272w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 1500px) 100vw, 1500px\" title=\"Colorful Dream\" alt=\"\u5f69\u5922\" \t\tclass=\"so-widget-image lazyload\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 1500px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 1500\/997;\" \/>\n\t<\/div>\n\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div id=\"pg-10220-8\"  class=\"panel-grid panel-has-style\" ><div style=\"padding: 100px 0; \" data-overlay=\"true\" class=\"panel-row-style panel-row-style-for-10220-8\" ><div id=\"pgc-10220-8-0\"  class=\"panel-grid-cell\" ><div id=\"panel-10220-8-0-0\" class=\"so-panel widget widget_sow-editor panel-first-child panel-last-child\" data-index=\"10\" ><div style=\"text-align: left;\" data-title-color=\"#443f3f\" data-headings-color=\"#443f3f\" class=\"panel-widget-style panel-widget-style-for-10220-8-0-0\" ><div\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\tclass=\"so-widget-sow-editor so-widget-sow-editor-base\"\n\t\t\t\n\t\t><h3 class=\"widget-title\">Atelier U + Me | Last Art Event | Comment from Kota<\/h3>\n<div class=\"siteorigin-widget-tinymce textwidget\">\n\t<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>I have also participated in the Breath Journey Meditation Breathing session in the past, and in my case, I was able to see vivid visions.<\/p>\n<p>It was a very mysterious and spiritual experience that felt like a dream yet also as real as reality.<\/p>\n<p>After the session, as I gradually returned to my sense of reality, I found myself crying, drenched in sweat.<\/p>\n<p>It felt like various emotions I had been holding in my life were detoxed.<\/p>\n<p>That sensation was like the kind of experience you receive in a mystical retreat or ceremony.<\/p>\n<p>This phenomenon is said to be partly due to the secretion of one of the brain's hormones, DMT, which occurs with the rapid deep breathing. DMT is released by the pineal gland, located in the center of the brain. (This area is referred to as the \"third eye\" in spiritual circles.)<\/p>\n<p>As a result, mystical phenomena such as feeling a mental expansion, experiencing strange sensations, or seeing visions seem to occur.<\/p>\n<p>This meditation (breathing) method will likely activate the pineal gland.<\/p>\n<p>When activated, it is said to enhance intuition in one's life.<\/p>\n<p>This time, we are holding the Breath Journey Meditation Breathing session for the first time at my solo exhibition venue, which is also my atelier, surrounded by paintings.<\/p>\n<p>I am really looking forward to entering the \"zone\" while looking at the paintings, and I strongly sense that the meditation journey surrounded by artwork will be a fascinating and wonderful experience.<\/p>\n<p>More than anything, I am excited to do this with multiple people under the leadership of a professional guide, rather than doing it alone.<\/p>\n<p>I am grateful to Mr. Hideki Kakitani for kindly agreeing to lead the meditation.<\/p>\n<p>Thank you very much.<\/p>\n<p>And to those who will gather through this connection, I am deeply honored that you will come and spend your precious time with us.<\/p>\n<p>Let\u2019s enjoy it!<\/p>\n<p>Thank you very much.<\/p>\n<p>After the meditation session, we will also be hosting a farewell party called <a href=\"https:\/\/kota-yoshida.com\/atelier-ume-9\/\">\"\uff1d\" (Equals)<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>I would be happy if you could stay and participate in that as well.
