Journey to Mount Tsushima

"BANZAI!"

Pirates charge at the Green Samurai from all directions!

What was meant to be a relaxing hike to Mount Tsushima has turned into a treacherous ambush.

You, the companion of the Green Samurai, quickly leap to the side, heart racing as chaos erupts.

The Green Samurai silently unsheathes his katana, the blade gleaming in the sunlight.

One by one, he strikes with precision!

Gasps escape their lips as they stumble back, bewildered by his surreal movement.

His technique is impeccable, his calmness unshaken and he strikes with a indomitable spirit.

The pirates, realizing their folly, choose flight over defeat.

You stand frozen, astonished by his skill but even more so by his composure.

He smiles, his body posture softening, “Now then, shall we continue to the mountain? So I can share the protocols of relaxation with you!”

You are Amazing! You are a Gift to This World.

If you truly want to feel how incredible you are, all you need to do is relax!

The world is waiting to see your light. 🌟

Mount Tsushima

You arrive at Mount Tsushima!

It’s obvious why I brought you here. Just look at it!

You take in the vast, serene landscape, and a sense of calm begins to wash over you.

Relaxing, isn’t it? Believe it or not, this peace you feel right now—this clarity—is how I feel every day.

But you... you cannot feel the same. Do you know why?

You shake your head.

Because of your inner turmoil. Those damn emotions!

They pull and push you in all directions, like unruly winds battering a tree! In a single moment, they can create a mountain of distrust, anger, and confusion within you.

Tell me, does it not trouble you?

You nod. He leans closer, his voice gentle but firm.

How can you live like this? How can you climb the mountain of life if the weight of your emotions is constantly pulling you down?

He pauses for a moment.

Well, I won’t pretend I have all the answers. But I do have some tips. Simple protocols for calming the storm within.

He stands, gazing out over the vast horizon, his posture relaxed and deliberate.

If you wish to find peace within yourself, to let go of frustration, and to relax as if you were always sitting atop a serene mountain like this one... then follow these protocols!

Protocol 1: Practice Love

Love is relaxing; it creates a deep sense of comfort within you. But to feel its warmth, you don’t need someone else to provide it. You can practice love with your environment.

Practice giving love selflessly, without attachment to the things or people around you. Selfless love allows you to relax, to release tension, and to find peace within yourself.

Protocol 2: Ground Yourself

To ground yourself means to reconnect with the earth. This usually takes the form of placing your bare feet on the grass. The energy boost and sheer relaxation it provides are truly astonishing.

Think of the earth as one living ecosystem, capable of soothing you like a mother calms her infant.

Protocol 3: Get Therapy!

Protocol 4: Cold Water and Red Light Therapy

One way to feel more self-assured and relaxed is to elevate your dopamine baseline. To achieve this, combine cold water exposure with red light therapy (either from the sun or special red light lamps).

Here’s a simple method: go outside on a sunny day, pour a bucket of cold water over yourself, and let the sunlight dry you off. It might be the middle of January, but don’t let that stop you!

If stepping outside isn’t an option, a red light therapy lamp is a great alternative.

If something is keeping you from truly relaxing, don’t hesitate to reply. The Green Samurai is here and will do his absolute best to help you find your peace!
