Mind, Body, and Soul

The mind is the controller, the body is the carrier, and the soul is the passenger. Throughout a life journey, the mind and soul are in constant communication. The life cycle is structured so that the soul is given the opportunity to influence the direction of the life journey at the beginning and at the end, more than at any other stage of the human life cycle. For the soul to learn, develop, and make progress, it needs a mind and a body. (from Walking with Elijah)

Hakone

Hakone (箱根) is part of the Fuji-Hakone-Izu National Park, less than 100 kilometers from Tokyo. Famous for hot springs, natural beauty and the view of nearby Mt. Fuji, Hakone is one of the most popular destinations among Japanese and international tourists looking for a break from Tokyo. (Daily tours are offered from Tokyo, by Gray Line for example.)

Hiroshima Airport Hotel

• Excellent location near airport (5 min.  walking, shuttle bus is also available). 
• Convenient bust transfer to Hiroshima (town center and main train station). A return bus ticket is around 19 euro.
• Free internet connection.
• Good breakfast (served from early morning).

The National Art Center

Located in Tokyo, The National Art Center provides people with opportunities to experience diverse values and contribute to bringing forth a new culture based on the idea of mutual understanding and symbiotic relationship.

The Center is a unique and innovative art exhibition facility: Instead of maintaining a permanent collection, it makes the most of a total of 14,000 square meters of exhibition space, one of the largest in Japan, and focuses on serving as a venue for various art exhibitions. The Center also promotes outreach activities through its educational programs, and the Art Library serves to collect and disseminate information related to art.

Daily start

When the night whispers to the flying gulls welcoming the morning, when the waves kiss the sand promising a hot day, sunrise brings reconciliation of dreams with reality.

Fall

When our Ego let us believe,
We know it all, nothing is left to achieve,
Our life seems in order in false-centered selves.…
Then, it is time to turn to our Soul,
Time to step forward, to say it all,
For it is this turning that determines,
Do we remain or fall.

[From Sprouted Soul by Doobie]

Lighthouse Golf and Spa Resort

The hotel is a nice place to relax but too far from sea shore. Inside, everything is good and relaxing, but the it is in the middle of nowhere: 5 km. from beach and 17 from Balchik (so without transportation and if you are not a golf fan, only pool, spa, bicycle ride and tennis - and eating :-) - are only things that you can do). Take a room on upper floor, with sea view, if you want a nice panorama.
