Yoshuku Yoshuku : The Japanese art of manifesting
Book - 2025
"During a particularly tough season in Azumi's life, a Buddhist monk told her 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, are invigorated, 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 the 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 we are y...et to have. Learn how to integrate ancient rituals with a modern lifestyle, and uncover the secrets of acceptance in order to manifest your soul's wishes"--Inside cover flap.
