To be fair harbor land is the most famous place for relaxation and meditation since the sound of the waves have the effect of immediate release, the world of science has proven that deep relaxation changes our bodies on a genetic level. What researchers at Harvard Medical School discovered is that, in long-term practitioners of relaxation methods such as in meditation, far more ”disease-fighting genes” were active, compared to those who practiced no form of relaxation.

Kobe Minato is very famous and doesn’t require much writing to know about it yet you can always use this huge Concerto ship to guide you around as there are few meditation spots behind and at front of it near Mosaic. how can sitting there can have this powerful effect? Research has described the negative effects of stress on the body. Linked to the release of the stress-hormones adrenalin and cortisol, stress raises the heart rate and blood pressure, weakens immunity and lowers fertility. By contrast, the state of relaxation is linked to higher levels of feel-good chemicals such as serotonin and to the growth hormone which repairs cells and tissue. Indeed, studies show that meditation has virtually the opposite effect, lowering heart rate, boosting immunity and enabling the body to thrive.
Mosaic and Kobe tower, Meditation in Kobe, Japan
Behind Mosaic is the restaurant Place where fountains and naked statues play a good role for intoxicating the air and offer a new level of contemplating luxury. The Kobe Port Tower is a 108 m-high landmark tower located in Meriken Park. The world’s first building to feature a pipe structure, it was nicknamed the Steel Tower Beauty as a result of its unique structure and shape, reminiscent of an elongated Japanese drum, and was awarded a prize by the Architectural Institute of Japan in 1963.
The ship “Concierto” survived 1995 Awaji-hanshin earthquake and just got docked the same night at Osaka harbor carrying no damage. Yet the smell of the burnt solar while docking at 9:00 pm can hinder your meditation yet its worth meditating there.
The more relaxed your body becomes, the more relaxed your mind becomes,Standing still isn’t easy and being all alone disconnected can have a wary effect about your identity, reason and objective.Walking gives you a chance to unfold your body, stretch, and limber up your muscles, which will return to a state of advanced rebellion faster than you thought possible. The first meditation session on the first day isn’t so bad. You’ll probably hop right up when it’s time to walk. After the second session, you may notice some stiffness, but walking will get everything back in order. then sitting and meditating so always remember that it will come in three stages.
what are those three stages!
Walking, sitting and meditating, thats all!
As you reintegrate your battery by going through those stages you are now living in a new world, you may start to notice that something is different. Maybe you don’t lose your temper as quickly. Maybe you find your normal stress level has dropped a bit. Maybe people like you better because you don’t drink anymore and lose it over anyone.
Kobe airport is a place that would be a bit noisy yet a perfect spot to do that on the forth floor watching take offs and landing.
