  1. Review the programs and see if they are going to be helpful to you. After you choose the meditation courses best suited to your needs, sign up. If your busy schedule does not allow you to attend meditation sessions on a regular basis, you may want to work with an instructor one on one who can work around your schedule.

  2. I will visit all these temples when I visit Japan in December! In fact, right now, I am starting to learn a lot about their culture so I can appreciate the trip more. I am starting to watch their movies and dramas at myasiantv.com and taking up 1 to 1 Japanese classes via Skype from http://preply.com/en/japanese-by-skype . I want to know a few basic words and phrases that I might need in case of emergency. Japan is just amazing!
