Therapy



Lately I have been trying to search solutions to solve my emptyness of heart. I catched every chance to make change. I hope I'm moving on a road filled with blessings. So here is what I have done.

#1
I knew a few optimistic people in "Tai Ji Men" through my colleague. I got chances to attend their gathering and speach. They practice gigong (練氣功, a kind of Chinese martial arts), share life experiences each other, do a lot of spiritual works, and encourage people to do goodness. They are so energetic. I felt harmony and happiness surrounding them. I felt inspired by that joyful atmosphere. I think these good and kind people as angels to help me out of marsh in some way. For sure, that need my own efforts to work on.

I heard of some people's story there. Everyone joins the organization with one's own reason or purpose, some for physical issues and some for mental problems. I may examine my life and thoughts through their stories. I got an idea- sometimes we felt miserable just because we focus ourselves too much.

#2
This Sunday I took a one day tour with my classmate. We visited some scenic spots in Nothern Taiwan. It was a very relaxed package. We enjoyed the beautiful scenery, felt hakka culture and taste the local famous food.

Here is our route:Emei Lake →Beipu Old Street→Tashee Blooming Garden→Love Story Building→Dasi Old Street.
(峨眉湖-->北埔老街-->大溪花海農場-->大黑松小倆口愛情故事館-->大溪老街)

Plus, I got some introduction links for these areas.

Beipu, is very famous as its hakka culture, including its handcraft art, hakka food. (visit here and there if you are interested)
Tashee Blooming Garden, many Taiwanese Dramas were shot there.
And beside the blooming garden, we also visited Love Story Building, a lovely place.
