In late March and early April, the demand for flight tickets to Japan soars as people from around the world visit to witness the breathtaking cherry blossoms.
The allure of cherry blossoms has grown in popularity among foreigners in recent years, tracing its roots back over a millennium in Japan. A delightful tradition accompanies this – we gather under cherry blossom trees, enjoying food, drinks, and sometimes even karaoke.
The Japanese hold a special affection for these blossoms as they grace us with their beauty for just two weeks each year. Once they fade away, we patiently await their return in the following year.
The practice of viewing cherry blossoms was one of the early manifestations of the law of attraction, dating back 1,000 years.
The law of attraction posits that similar thoughts attract similar outcomes, whether positive or negative.
What ancient farmers did to attract a good harvest
For ancient farmers a millennium ago, viewing cherry blossoms served as a form of "celebration in advance."
They marked the onset of spring by celebrating a good harvest, sharing meals and drinks with family and friends. This anticipation was believed to draw forth a bountiful crop, motivating farmers to toil diligently.
This unique pre-celebration is known as 予祝, or yoshuku.
Yoshuku involves celebrating before an event occurs, envisioning the excitement of the upcoming situation.
Now, it's our turn to attract what we want
Let's do this.
Reflect on what you want to achieve or how you want to be in six months. Feel the emotions that accompany success.
Treat yourself by either buying or cooking your favorite foods, preparing preferred drinks, and, if you wish, inviting family and friends.
Head to your favorite spot and revel in the celebration with your chosen foods and drinks. Or you can simply go to your favorite restaurant.
I recently discovered that attracting what you desire becomes more accessible when you naturally feel aligned with that desired outcome. Take a moment to vividly imagine yourself in that situation.
