Why Write Meditation?
Living in a rapidly changing modern society, it is very difficult for us to calm down and concentrate on one thing. Writing meditation (Likita Japa) is one of the traditional meditation techniques. Unlike meditation that is done with your eyes closed, it involves the action of writing, making it easy to start, easy to continue, and easy to follow your own progress. While feeling the sound of the mantra in your heart, you will copy the feeling on paper.
I want to improve my concentration
I want to calm down
I'm not good at sitting meditation
There is something I want to achieve
I want to spend my time at home meaningfully

Testimonial
Practitioner's Voice
When I was struggling with infertilityI started at the recommendation of Mr. Tage. By carefully writing ॐ one by one, my mind has calmed down. I concentrate so much on Rikitajapa, so after every time I finish writing, my head feels refreshed. And after allI was able to have a child! (Mr. H)
When I started practicing meditation, when I couldn't concentrate on meditation, I tried to do Likita Japa instead of meditating.
I have something I can rely on when I can't sleep!When I can't sleep in the futon, I tend to look at my smartphone and think about various things, and I tend to do a vicious cycle of not being able to sleep more."When I can't sleep, I do Rikita Japa"After deciding and putting it into practice,I was freed from the anxiety about sleep and the guilt of not being able to sleep. (Mr. Tae)
Just because of the coronavirus pandemic, I often became mentally unstable due to anxiety and fear. I started Rikita Japa in hopes of calming my mind.
As you write the OM while chanting the mantra in your head,Anxiety and worries calmed down. I was more anxious than necessary due to this pandemic, but by doing Rikita Japa,With my feet on the ground, I am now able to think deeply about what I really want to do and how to live in the present.
Up until now, I was not good at mental control, and it was difficult for me to be swayed by my emotions.Rikitajapa has made it easier for me to control my mental state, and I am less likely to be swayed by my emotions.(Mr. Yoko)
When I started teaching yoga to others, I realized that I couldn't teach people something I hadn't practiced before, and that I had to try it myself.Through Rikita Japa, a personal mantra began to well up within me very naturally, whether in my meditation practice or in my daily life.I feel.
After completing the 125,000 times recommended by the teacher (two notebooks), my second child was born, and my body changed, my life changed, and my relationship with my family changed. In addition to that, there was also a change in the social environment called corona. My mind was bewildered and agitated each time I felt that change. There have been times when I have become distraught. Then I chant my personal mantra. I naturally developed the habit of doing so. Then I calmly observed the state of my mind. Be it Sattvic, Rajasic or Tamasic, without denying or pessimisticFirst of all, I try to accept it and try to respond to daily changes. I believe that I am able to do that as a result of studying the philosophy of yoga and working on Likita Japa.. (Yumiko Nakatani)
・Tage-sensei said that if you write 125,000 times (2 notebooks), a miracle will happen. I started from the day I heard those words.Aiming for the endless number of 125,000. It took me 1 year and 3 months to finish writing. The last one isGratitudeIt came to the bubbly. I am grateful for many things, including my family, friends, staff, food, nature, everything that reaches me, and even the air. Thank you. I was overwhelmed with emotion.After I finished writing it, I naturally cried.. (Shizuko Ohira)
