Product Description
by Azumi Uchitani (Author)
A beautifully illustrated guide to the ancient Japanese art of manifesting and pre-celebration, providing practical advice on how to slow down, tune into the rhythms of the universe, and achieve your goals.
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 and develop deeper roots to survive. Similarly, human growth happens through challenges that strengthen our roots and resilience.
Azumi explains how the Japanese wisdom and life philosophy of yoshuku, or "pre-celebration," can both uplift the person who practices and enrich the lives of everyone around them, too. Yoshuku celebrates gratitude for what you are yet to have when you:
- prepare your mind
- boost your energy
- plan seasonal celebrations
- perform daily rituals
- align your actions with your deepest wishes
This practical guide teaches you how to cultivate joy, immerse yourself in harmony, and create a powerful mindset through collective wisdom and time-honored traditions
