Announcement of Meditation Meal Party
Start your day with yoga.
I observed my own body under the guidance of staff member Tashiro, who is also in charge of Utsushiki Cafe.
Yoga is a preparation for meditation.
The word "meditation" seems to slip away even when you try to grasp it, something elusive and incredible, but when I thought about a time in my life when I had experienced such a state, it was when I was spinning a thread.
By stepping on the pedal, the spinning wheel spins and thread is produced endlessly with the fingertips.
Just be in the present.
It is as natural as flowing water, and the conscious and unconscious seem to float together without any distinction.
This is what I think meditation feels like.
A meditation dinner party hosted by Matsuura Yutaka will be held in the coffee shop at the beginning of June.
My imagination runs wild as I wonder how we will be guided into this unknown time.

Control your words, quiet your mind, and focus your attention on the here and now.
Create space in your mind and open your five senses.
The sensations that emerge within me and the space that responds to them,
A sense of shared belonging is born among those gathered in the space.

What is a Meditation Meal Party?
While slowly savoring the food brought to you, you can take the time to face yourself and simply face the scenery before you. It's a Zen-like mealtime, where you can enjoy the silence and simply face the food. We have prepared meals that allow you to feel the flow of blessings from the mountains to the sea and the sound of the seasons. Here, we ask you to refrain from speaking and focus only on the food. We would like you to face your meal inwardly, observing how the energy absorbed into your body changes as the temperature changes, and experiencing the sound of the seasonal ingredients resonating through your body with increased resolution.
