A practical, beautifully illustrated guide to the ancient Japanese art of manifesting and pre-celebration, full of wise guidance on how to slow down, tune into the rhythms of the universe, and fulfill your destiny.
During a particularly tough season of life, a Buddhist monk told Azumi Uchitani that the most beautiful sakura cherry blossoms emerge in the spring following the fiercest typhoons; it's only because of the storms that the trees endure, invigorate, and develop deeper roots to survive. This is true for humans, too - while we are on our journeys to blossom, we will face hardships, but those are the very opportunities for growth that we need to lean into.
Azumi reveals how Japanese wisdom, life philosophy, and traditional customs of yoshuku, or ?pre-celebration,? can uplift and enrich not only the lives of those who practice it but everyone around them, too. Yoshuku celebrates gratitude for what you are yet to have when you:
- cultivate your wish
- prepare your mind
- plan seasonal celebrations
- perform daily rituals
- honor the journey
Learn how to integrate ancient rituals with a modern lifestyle, immerse yourself in harmony, and uncover the secrets of acceptance in order to manifest your soul's wishes.
