MODULES
1) Loving your imperfection through Wabi Sabi: accept the impermanence of
things and recognise the beauty of imperfection, learning to flow like a river. In
this module you will learn not to attach yourself to a theory, to a knowledge,
but learn how to become flexible in order to be powerful and solve any life
problem.
2) Embrace your wish to change through Kaizen: Kaizen is an approach to
creating continuous improvement based on the idea that small, ongoing
positive changes can reap significant improvements compared to radical
changes to achieve transformation. In this module you will learn how to
master the art of creating habits.
3) Face life challenges and storm through Hanafubuki: through 'the cherry
blossom storm' we have the magical moment when the sakuras begin to fall,
creating a delicate blizzard of petals. This concept of ephemeral beauty is a
metaphor for human life, rich and beautiful but also fragile and fleeting. In this
module you will learn how to remain calm to make the best decisions.
4) Express your own emotions and welcome those of others through
Omoiyari: Omoiyari is commonly translated to empathy, but it actually has a
deeper meaning; it literally means to give your thoughts to others. In this
module you will learn how to release your own emotions and develop
empathy and compassion for others.
5) Repair your own soul wounds through Kintsugi: Kintsugi is the art of
mending broken objects with gold, it is the art of treasuring your wounds by
repairing them with the gold of pure aesthetic experience. The wounds of our
lives are seen through the eyes of the soul,which receives and heals them
with the gold of death,of rebirth and freedom. In this module you will learn to
perform a rite of passage after which nothing will be the same as before.
6) Master the art of patience through Nintai: Nintai is the power of enduring
without complaint, without looking for quick results. It means sticking to your
path, trusting the process, to your beliefs. In this module you will learn to
never give up, to wait for the right time for things to happen.
7) How gratitude changes you and your brain through Itadakimasu: this
word means âI humbly receiveâ and relates to the traditional way of showing
gratitude by elevating above oneâs head the gift received. Through time,
itadakimasu became the expression showing appreciation for the food
received. In this module you will learn the benefits of gratitude on your mental
health.
8) Learn to become grounded through Shinrin-Yoku: Immersion in nature
has scientifically proven therapeutic effects: it can reduce stress hormone
concentrations in the body, strengthen the immune system, regulate blood
pressure and heart rate, and lower cholesterol. Shinrin-Yoku is an adventure
of deep communion with nature. In this module you will learn how to ground
yourself.
9) Develop the best version of you through Hanasaki: this is the blossom of
a flower. You will use this word for blossoming the best version of yourself.
No matter who you are, where you come from, what your path has been so
far, in this module you will learn to aspire to a better version of yourself.
10) Less is more: learn to declutter and simplify your life through Danshari:
Thereâs a new movement rising around the world. Perhaps youâve heard of it:
Danshari. It means ârefusal, disposal and separationâ You can simply translate
it as cleaning or tidying up, but this word means more than this. In this module
you will learn to abandon attachment to objects and make a better use of
them.
11)Connect with your soul mission through Ikigai: ikigai is that thing that
gives our existence a marvellous intensity, it is what gives meaning to life or,
as the French would say, its raison dâetre. There is a fire inside us: it can burn
with more force, it can weaken, but then it can come back stronger than ever.
Ikigai cannot be a simple mental vision, as it is wider, deeper and absolute
than the thinking mind. You can only live it, and only by living it can you know
it. In this module you will learn the first steps to move nearer to your soul
mission.
12)Accept your own shadows, feeling a part of the universe through Yugen:
Beauty is Darkness. Shadows are what allow the visible to emerge. The
whole world and ourselves are a constant duality: we wake up and go to bed,
the sun rises and goes down, we feel on top of the world and we feel
stressed, we move in and out, we feel active and we feel lazy and so on. Itâs
the natural flow of the universe, nothing lasts in the same status forever. In
this module you will learn to keep this duality between inner light and
darkness stable and to reach the perfect moment.
13)Accept the impermanence of life through mono no aware: âthis is the deep
feeling or pathos of things, the powerful emotions that objects can evoke or
instil in us. It is often associated with a poignant feeling of transience, a
beautiful sadness in the passing of lives and objects, like the glorious colour
of autumn leaves as they are about to fall. In this module you will learn how to
let go of our attachments to transient things.
Through this certified course you will learn these for yourself and to help others in their transformation if you are an holistic therapist:
â to become grounded and calm
â to create fundamental daily habits
â to have the right approach to solve any life challenge and storm
â how to flow with life
â to express your emotions and develop compassion
â to repair your own wounds
â to practise patience and gratitude
â to become a better version of yourself
â to be nearer to meet your soul mission
