◎ Self-Centered Loneliness ◎
September 17, 2025
Why are people not isolated?
Do you feel lonely?
Of the automatic thoughts that occur 60,000 times a day,
In fact, 70% of our thoughts are negative.
This is a reaction derived from survival instinct.
If repeated, self-esteem decreases and
This leads to chronic anxiety.
The solution is to focus on the present moment
If mindfulness is effective,
It’s clear from the out-of-bed research…meditation is difficult.
Therefore, we utilized “calligraphy”, which is familiar to Japanese people.
Calligraphy is Japan’s oldest culture, lasting over 1300 years.
It has also functioned as a method of spiritual training, such as copying sutras.
At the “Love Letter Project” held every year during the three-day weekend in October,
Past “memories of being loved” and “experiences of being supported”
By paying attention, you can avoid anxiety
We aim to feel a sense of abundance.
For people’s happiness,
1. Dopamine, 2. Serotonin, 3. Oxytocin
Neurotransmitters are involved.
Oxytocin promotes trusting relationships and attachment memories with others.
It is secreted when you remember something, creating a sense of security and bonding.
At the October workshop
Express your gratitude to your loved ones who have given you love.
By writing on a 130cm giant Japanese paper, you can release oxytocin.
It stimulates secretion and restores peace of mind and self-esteem.
Flow of practice
1. Introspect your past attachment memories in a quiet space
2. expressive calligraphy lesson
3. Fine-print the LoveLetter on a large piece of Japanese paper with a brush
