¿TE HACEN CHIRIBITAS LOS OJOS CUANDO LEES LA PALABRA: “MANIFESTACIÓN”🤭?

Te voy a explicar un secreto que nadie conoce….🤫

A veces, he manifestado libros; que no es lo mismo que: A veces, veo muertos… (A ver, no me lo tengas en cuenta, es que la voz en off a sonado igual en mi cabeza🤭)

Pues sí, tal y como lo oyes, lo he hecho y con unos resultados asombrosos🤩

Pero nunca me he atrevido a ir más lejos, a ver qué pasaba si…😏

Así que, cuando vi que @Urano iba a publicar este libro, corrí cual cabra loca al viento a por él!!

¿Me ha gustado🤔?

Totalmente.
Azumi nos cuenta de forma fluida y amena los rituales que se celebran en Japón para atraer aquello que deseas, mostrándonos cómo lo hacen, lo celebran, los rituales, las pautas, todo… ❤️‍🔥

Me ha encantado la idea con que ellos lo viven y lo integran en su día a día, haciendo del arte de la manifestación su modo de vida✨

Una gran enseñanza que viene de sus antepasados y, que, hoy en día, sigue brindando amor, dinero y salud a quienes lo practican🤑❤️‍🔥🍀✨

DIME: ¿Crees en el poder de la manifestación?

It is a very clearly written book with clear objectives and targets for a person’s journey to Manifestation. However, some of it may not resonate with the non-Japanese readership in detail. This is because the rituals and celebrations covered are not easy to relate to for a person. Not well versed in Japanese culture and spirituality.

BUT: I found it very very inspiring and I definitely want to do some of the things it suggests but perhaps more in my own cultural context. It opens the door a crack into a totally new way of thinking. It is an ideal book for those that tend to be down and depressed encouraging them to take s fresh look at the blessings they have.

Overall highly recommended and easy reading!

I love the metaphor of the sakura for understanding the cycle and process in dream manifestation. 🌸🌸“Nurturing a wish is like encouraging a tree to blossom.” ♥️ The questions in “the blossom” and “your wish” exercises are very helpful and refreshing. I especially love the daily rituals and the five elements of life (Godai). A lot of spiritual books teach us how to enjoy journeys to our dreams (destinations), but this book gives us insight both in Japanese philosophy and how to apply it in our daily lives. Pre-celebrate your dreams before they can happen. Highly recommend this book! 📕

I'm not sure if I'm going to start any manifesting rituals, but I enjoyed the foray into some Shintoism and it's a good reminder for centering oneself, to try to remember to retain grace and compassion under pressure etc.

Reading the dictionary would have been a lot more engaging and educational. I walked away from this book with 0 knowledge.

[Victoria_Alexiel · Rating 4 out of 5]

Without leaning too much on depth or detail, it was one of the most pleasant books on the topic of manifestation. Might be because it's written by a Japanese writer, saturated with Eastern philosophy and culture. It was well-paced (without too many personal notes, unlike many of the genre) and balanced guide about living in harmony with the seasons, nature and oneself.

As a Japanese language and shodo (Japanese calligraphy) teacher, I deeply appreciated the beautiful strokes of the kanji at the beginning of every chapter!

Good for the inner thoughts. My takeaways:
Wa - Harmony - Everything in life has its light and shadow, and both need to be embraced to create harmony
Kei - Respect - Life becomes more beautiful when I choose to see what I can respect in others
Sei - Purity - My outer world is the refection of my inner world, I keep purifying my inner world
Jaku - Tranquility - Stillness of mind is the most beautiful gift I can give myself.

The art of manifestation should be understood here as a preparatory celebration for a desire to come true, and it will come true precisely because we have imagined it so clearly and have already celebrated as if it had just happened. All sprinkled with ideograms and Zen philosophy. Enjoyable, but certainly not the first book of its kind.

L'arte di manifestare, va intesa qui come la celebrazione preparatoria affinché un desiderio si avveri e si avvererá proprio perché ce lo siamo immaginati molto bene e abbiamo giá festeggiato come se si fosse appena realizzato. Il tutto condito con ideogrammi e filosofia zen. Piacevole, ma certo non il primo libro del genere.

I received a digital advanced complimentary copy from the publisher in exchange for a honest review.

I enjoyed this beautiful little book very much. In brief, Yoshuku is fundamentally a discussion of traditional Japanese wisdom and it's application to contemporary life. The term manifestation is perhaps problematic. Readers looking for a formulaic guide to personal realization or a self-help manual may be disappointed. Yoshuku is perhaps best understood as an invitation to explore the fertile ground of the spirit from a Japanese perspective. What does it mean to blossom in contemporary life?

The book is beautifully decorated with the author's calligraphy and includes a useful glossary of Japanese terms. The book is at times poetic, beautifully written and easy to comprehend. I recommend it!

"Yoshuku – the Japanese art of manifesting through gratitude and pre-celebration – offers a path forward. Steeped in ancient spiritual beliefs and practices, Yoshuku unveils the secrets of a long-established Japanese approach to bringing your deepest wishes to fruition."

I wanted to like this book more than I did, as I was looking for more Japanese spiritual inspiration. I tried this in audio and found it a difficult medium for the book and wasn't fond of the author doing the narration. I think I may try again later with the print format of the book.

Thank you, Net Galley, for an advanced review copy.

A practical and beautifully illustrated guide, "Yoshuku" by Azumi Uchitani explores the ancient Japanese art of manifestation and pre-celebration. The book encourages personal growth through hardship, emphasizing gratitude for future outcomes and the importance of community connection. Uchitani teaches readers to blend ancient rituals with modern life, advocating mindfulness over relentless pursuit in the manifestation process. While rich in historical context, some may find the text dense and suggest incorporating interactive activities to enhance understanding and relevance.

[Lola Collins · Rating 5 out of 5]

Yoshuku: The Japanese Art of Manifesting offers a calm and thoughtful take on manifestation, focusing on gratitude and “pre-celebration” rather than constant striving. I liked how gentle and reflective the approach feels, with simple ideas that are easy to apply in everyday life. It’s not overwhelming or overly complex—just a quiet reminder to be more mindful and positive. A soothing, uplifting read for anyone interested in personal growth.

[Kai Almario · Rating 4 out of 5]

"Yoshuku" is a wonderful read to start the year — meditative and refreshingly simple. It brings everything back to the essentials: what truly matters, what grounds us, and how we can move forward using those fundamentals. The tone is calm yet motivating, an easy companion for reflection and realignment. Perfect for anyone wanting to begin the year with clarity and purpose.

I learned some things about the Japanese culture. The book was satisfying to read because it had a combination of explanations, inspiring examples, insights from experiences, and reflection prompts for the reader.

Didn't like it, left it after reading it 2/3

[Naoto Farges · Rating 3 out of 5]

Teilweise interessante Abschnitte und Denkweisen. Insgesamt aber etwas platt und theoretisch. Die wirklichen Ansätze haben bei mir keine Motivation ausgelöst, aber insgesamt ist mein Interesse an manche japanische Lebensweise gestiegen

I picked up this book when I was in a state of emotional distress, when I was feeling anxious and worried about my life. This book provided me with much comfort in the Japanese teaching that the author shares. The book is provides great guidance and reminder that we can still be optimistic even when life gets hard and to be grateful for what we have around us. I'm so glad I picked up this book and I'll be re-reading it whenever I need a pick me up
