๐ฟโจ Kintsugi & Wabi-Sabi โจ๐ฟ
As a practitioner, I hear ALLLL sorts of things from people on my table. Let me drop this on you today, the 1st, so whoever needs to hear this can carry it with them into the new year.
The Japanese have several concepts that speak to the quiet art of acceptance โ two of which Iโve tried to embrace fully in my life and in my healing work as an LMT and Reiki Master.
๐ฅฃ Kintsugi (้็ถใ)
Sometimes life cracks us open. We can throw the whole thing awayโฆor we can choose to repair what broke with intention, honesty, and gold. The cracks donโt disappear โ they are emphasized and become part of the story. A piece becomes more beautiful not in spite of what it survived, but because of it. Perfectly imperfect.
๐ชพ Wabi-sabi (ไพๅฏ)
Nothing in nature โ including us โ is perfect, permanent, or finished. There is beauty in the flaws, peace in accepting change, and freedom in honoring what is incomplete. Our โimperfectionsโ are proof of life lived โa certificate of authenticity โa reminder that your story is unique and unrepeatable. Perfectly imperfect.
So please be kinder to yourselves and remember that wherever you are in your story โ honor & embrace it. ๐
