TRANSCRIPT:

[Julie Jancius] (0:00 – 2:20)

Hello friends, welcome to the Angels and Awakening podcast. I’m your host, Julie Jancis. If you love this podcast, please be our angel.

Ask a friend to listen, subscribe, rate us 5 stars, leave a positive review, and share a screenshot of this podcast on your Facebook or Instagram stories. So, my dad passed away in 2015. We weren’t talking and it took a month for his family to track me down.

Before I ever knew he was gone, I started hearing from him in heaven. It consumed me. How is communication with the other side even possible?

I left my corporate gig, studied with on every coast and worked with my angels to figure out the answers. Today, my mission is teaching you how to raise your vibration, shift your thoughts, trust your intuition, develop your unique spiritual gifts, and connect with your loved ones and angels on the other side. Friends, when you have these tools, life really does become heaven on earth.

Hello, beautiful souls. Welcome back to the Angels and Awakening podcast. I’m your host and author, Julie Jancis.

And friends, do we have a treat today? We have Azumi Uchita. I’m going to, you say it.

Azumi Uchita. Oh my gosh, you say it so beautifully. I am so sorry.

I’ve botched this three times. So, I saw your book come up like months before it even was published. I told my team, I was like, can we please try and get her on the show?

Because this looks like just such a wonderful book. The Japanese Art of Manifesting. Yoshuku?

Yoshuku, yes. Yes. I’m so excited to talk to you because I do think that there’s a lot of ways in which the angels say that we in America, Western civilization, have kind of gotten this wrong when it comes to manifesting.

We push a lot. We think, you know, from our own internal desires about what we want instead of thinking about the collective and service. What are all these different ways that people in Japan see manifestation differently than we do?

[Azumi Uchitani] (2:21 – 4:20)

So, well, even now, when we say Japan, we have different, of course, tradition, culture, and also, but also, we have shared culture, which means modern society with digital society now. So, like even now in Japan, of course, we have ancient tradition, but also in modern world, you know, like Western influence as well. So, even in Japanese modern society, our ancient tradition, we have to also think about that.

So, in Yoshuku, it’s also the reminder for everybody besides beyond culture and beyond religions. So, what it means that, but still, Japan is more shared values among with family and community. And, of course, compared to the ancient time, of course, the time, you know, the tradition, culture evolved, but compared to Western way of thinking, it is not from, for example, as you know, maybe Buddhism, but also in Shinto, Shinto is a Japanese ancient life philosophy.

It is more shared way of seeing the life. So, it is not me. I’m the representative.

I also consider myself as a representative of my family, my ancestors, and also in overall, I’m the part of nature that we tend to forget, especially like when we want, oh, I want to get this job. I want to get this relationship. I want to get married.

I want, I want, and it’s from inside. I also went through my journey. I was brought up in a traditional spiritual upbringing, and then I moved to the West, and then in the in my career and Western corporate world, I also experienced this difference, and I also suffered.

[Julie Jancius] (4:20 – 5:02)

So, I had to bring that back. Here in America, we have all different religions, Christianity, different forms of Christianity, Catholicism, Judaism, Buddhism, all these different pieces. And I think that you could look at manifestation and most people would say, oh, that’s new age, like that spirituality that doesn’t fit with any one religion per se.

Although I think it does. We just never really called it that. But in Japan, what you’re saying is, is that the same thing or is really manifestation taught in all of the religions in Japan?

Yes.

[Azumi Uchitani] (5:03 – 8:56)

When I was writing about this book, I also talked with my publisher. I was kind of reluctant to use the word manifesting. In Japan, manifest, it’s more like I use the two words in my book.

That is called negai. Negai is to make to wish. Okay.

And the manifestation is to make wish come true. However, in Japan, manifest, it’s not about manifestation, but we have the custom, like spiritual, but also cultural tradition, more in a kind of joyful way. So, for example, every January, we go to, on the 1st of January, we go to Shinto Shrine.

Shinto is the Japanese ancient life philosophy, which we believe we are part of nature and we have countless spirits. So, it’s animism. So, we are part of nature and whatever we use, I have this red book and my pen, whatever we use, it also starts having our energy.

So, it’s a bit like quantum physics, really in modern science, everything’s connected. So, in Japan, you may have seen a wooden gate, like a big red gate. So, that was marked as, in our ancestors, marked as a divine spot, like where the energy is heightened.

For example, if you go to mountains, beautiful lakes, also in states, you have many beautiful spots as well. And also like a Grand Canyon, where you have a really feel this very strong heightened energy. So, our ancestors marked, so that’s more in a nature, like can be tree as well, and top of the mountains.

So, even in the city as well, there are certain area you go, in Japan, we have a temple, which is from the Buddhism, and Shinto shrine. So, Shinto shrine is where it is marked. So, when we enter this gate, this is a sign we are entering this sacred area, some type of energy there.

So, since our ancestors, since ancient times, our ancestors also with prayer and practicing ritual practice, and we were really strengthening that energy. So, certain shrine has certain Shinto shrine has certain energy that we can also tune in, and then we can enhance. So, on the New Year’s Day, and throughout the year, we also go to visit this shrine.

For example, New Year’s, I usually go to my local shrine, because our ancestors, my family, my grandparents, they were not sponsoring, but supporting this existence of this shrine. So, I still go there. And then we make prayer.

For example, it’s not about, okay, this year, I want to make certain amount of money, or not like that, but I go there to thank, to give appreciation, because we are protected by this divine energy. And then we can enhance, and I make a wish that our prosperity, not only me, but also prosperity of our family. So, prosperity is not only making certain amount of money, but also, we have more offsprings and happiness and prosperity of everybody related in the family.

So, then we can enhance this. We can also get onto this vibration together. So, then the energy becomes more multiplied.

It’s not only me, I want to get this, I want to get this, but it is more, well, thank you for protection. And I’m here, and thank you for protecting. And then appreciation that we can actually tune into this energy.

[Julie Jancius] (8:56 – 9:58)

I see what you’re saying, where when you go to this space, and I love how you said you go to the space where your ancestors went, your grandma and grandpa. That really resonates with me because my grandparents often took me to church as well. And looking at it from a Japanese perspective of we’re all one, and the energy of your ancestors being there enhances your energy being there as well.

That’s so cool. In America and spirituality, a lot of times, people can make things out to be ghosty or low vibe of protection, like you need protection from bad things. And I don’t see what you’re saying in that way.

I see it as protection because in life, challenges are going to come up, different things are going to come up. And so we’re not saying like protection in a bad way from ghosty negative vibes or something. Is that more what you mean, protection from life’s challenges?

Yes.

[Azumi Uchitani] (9:58 – 12:05)

And of course, also in our way of seeing life, we see the reality. Life is we have a dual, we have a night and the morning, we have light and shadow. We cannot be just having the world every single day.

And we have also the natural disaster as well. And also, like in the mythologies, some divine bodies, they can also get angry as well. So it’s not about getting rid of this evil.

But when we encounter this disaster, the protection means to be able to use our resilience together. So then just trusting and believing that even when if bad things happen, we feel this is terrible things. We have to, you know, it’s suffering.

However, also, what I learned in my life is okay, just wait a second, this looks really terrible. But there is a teaching or there’s something good about it. You know, sometimes you might miss the flight.

Then you say, Oh, my God, I missed the flight. And I couldn’t make it to my meetings. I had to cancel everything and everything becomes trauma.

But then this airplane could maybe, you know, had some disaster, then you may have avoided something. So always when we have even good things and bad things, it looks like from outside, it looks good or bad. But always, when we come back to ourselves, there are things that’s beyond the surface that we can actually walk through.

So that’s why in my book, I also use the metaphor of the tree. In two ways, I used metaphor of the tree. And one was also, it’s a beautiful story I learned from the family monk, it was typhoon.

In Japan, we have typhoon. In the States, you also have lots of natural, like the storms and…

[Julie Jancius] (12:05 – 12:16)

Is typhoon the same as a hurricane? It’s a bit different, I think. Yeah, I’m not a scientist.

That’s okay. Me either. I’m not a weather person.

[Azumi Uchitani] (12:17 – 13:46)

Typhoon. Okay, usually typhoon comes around towards the end of summer, which is the mid-August, September around my region where I was brought up. So then everything, you know, like the trees also suffers.

And then during that time, it’s in my book as well, the story. I was going through a very tough time in my life. And our Buddhist monk usually comes to visit during the Obon season, which is ancestral healing time.

Then we have finished this ceremony of prayer. Then we always have a kind of informal chat, which I love. Always there is a teaching.

So he said, well, we have beautiful sakura next spring. And he just started, out of blue, he started saying. Then I was just listening.

Okay, he’s talking about storm outside and talking about sakura. Okay, I was just listening. Yes.

And then, do you know why? And then, of course, I respect and I didn’t… Well, yeah, I would love to hear why.

Then he said, well, because during the storm, the tree endure a lot. So the root goes stronger and invigorated. So it has much stronger essence in the tree.

[Julie Jancius] (13:47 – 14:04)

So then it actually gives more blossom in spring. I see what you’re saying. And I think I’ve heard this before, that like the more that a tree can get shaken and withstand the high winds, the stronger it is and the more life force it has.

[Azumi Uchitani] (14:05 – 14:15)

Yes, yes. So then he said, it’s the same as human as well. When we go through this tough time, it is tough, but then we have to believe we are going to blossom more.

[Julie Jancius] (14:15 – 15:33)

Yeah. And I think we do. That’s so wild.

You know, my grandparents bought a place down in Marco Island when I was just first born. And Marco Island is down the south of Florida, about as south as you can get on the Gulf side before you hit the Florida Keys. And there’s some ancient Indian traditions down there where they said that Marco Island was blessed by the Indian tribes and they would always.

Yeah, it’s beautiful. And that they would always put like pray for protection over that area. And my family has always said, and I’ve watched this over the years that as hurricanes come around and I hear my grandparents on the other side be like, don’t say it out loud.

You’re going to jinx it. But the hurricanes always bypass like they’ll be headed towards Marco Island and then it’ll turn at the very last second and they won’t get hit as bad. But I see that protection differently as you’re talking right now about not just maybe like a bubble of protection around the island, but that resilience, that strength, that it’s strong there.

[Azumi Uchitani] (15:33 – 15:38)

I have a different cover of my book, UK version.

[Julie Jancius] (15:38 – 15:39)

I saw that.

[Azumi Uchitani] (15:39 – 15:54)

So this is UK version. I still don’t have my American version yet. American, Spanish, Dutch version so far.

This is for my painting. I’m artist as well. So this is for my painting.

Actually, this is the first time to show original, okay?

[Julie Jancius] (15:54 – 17:53)

Very first time. And that’s what’s on the cover of the book that they sent me from the publisher. So for those who can’t see it, it’s a tree and it’s just blossoming so beautifully and there’s just these golden blossoms all over and the golden energy goes down the roots of the tree, the trunk of the tree into the roots.

It’s like this beautiful golden circle encapsulates the tree on one side all the way up to the tree top and down by the roots as well. That energy connecting and laced throughout. Is the tree and that golden orb separate or are they one?

[Azumi Uchitani] (17:56 – 20:09)

Well this was just a metaphor that I used and that’s what I also wanted to when we see in you know like in picture visionary in vision it is easier to understand that’s why I just you know showed it because when we believe that we are part of we are like the tree when we have like in manifestation journey I often hear from my clients my students and like oh you know I don’t why am I not getting this and having this tough time but then we when we have a wish or when we want to manifest then we walk on this path so we like it is like seed of the tree so I tell them okay now we are becoming this tree so in winter we don’t see the blossom but we don’t beat up the tree so we have the season so that’s the metaphor of the cycle we go through the cycle so okay we blossom in spring we see the blossom and in winter we don’t see anything and then the tree we just brown no leaves but we don’t actually cut and throw it away we cherish it so that’s the metaphor even when we will so we energetically create this path this is like I saw I would like to in my book there is in part two there is exercise about using our wish as a kind of metaphor of the blossom and the tree so this is something that’s I think in manifestation journey for example maybe you use the visual vision board or affirmation or something but then when people get really face the challenges then they think oh it’s not working but it’s not about that we create this path and way and we keep walking so it is not when we get it but then we become like a tree you know we might we blossom somewhere even I enjoy tree any any time even without blossom just you know this is beautiful shape in winter so then

[Julie Jancius] (20:09 – 21:12)

we have to trust that we are like that amazing and so in that way you could look at manifestation within your being within your world as kind of like every one of us is our own forest because we’re not just like blossoming one tree at a time you know a lot of us especially as we go through life in our 20s 30s 40s we’re creating all of these different wishes for family for partner for children for home career and different things within our career I wonder if you could go into you know with the Japanese art of manifesting they talk about celebrating in advance embodying a future joy in the present and energetically that kind of blurs the present and the future energy together which I absolutely love because the angels talk about this all the time and and really putting ourselves in the future as if what we want has already come yes we tend to see

[Azumi Uchitani] (21:12 – 23:41)

especially in western world even from in business or anything from one point to next we have a goal three months goal six months goal forecast true it’s linear and in some way we need that as well I think you’re also running business as well and we need to have that way of thinking linear way of thinking and to make a plan but at the same time nature universe we live in this cycle we have this cycle and then past present future in energetic world it is all connected so for example when we think about emotion like we’re we can easily go back to the past emotion and we human tend to like the bad event the suffering we tend to drown to all terrible trauma happens but we can also train our mind to go back to the wonderful events loving events right and then we can do that for the future as well we can connect to the future for example future means like we get to we often many people worry about the future right yeah we also tend to worry what’s going to happen but then instead we can also create this for example appreciation and energy of appreciation energy of blessing I see the golden wings of angel it’s like that energy we can also tune into that so then what we create this energetic field can stay we only think this is only the past that’s really how we are taught and how we are living but it’s also for the future as well so there is no time in this energetic field so I also so that’s why I used the this metaphor of the tree as well so we become okay cherry blossom tree is cherry blossom and other trees like chestnuts that’s chestnuts right and energetically they have the essence so we can create this essence doesn’t matter past or future or present but then we can create this essence then we walk the path of

[Julie Jancius] (23:41 – 24:17)

becoming that so we become what we do right now two questions for you so in Japan do people get really depressed or down on themselves because I think in America you’re right I mean a lot of us kind of wish for this tree we start to build up this tree and then we like start to tear it down you know when things don’t go our way after six months or a year what is that in our culture like what why is it that we tend to do that and why do people in Japan are they able to think more

[Azumi Uchitani] (24:17 – 28:34)

positive long term in Japan also became really modernized as well let’s say compared to even 30 40 years ago we are all becoming digital worldwide globally as well and more mental illness or more definition of mental illness has also increased in Japan as well and I see it also in the western world as well and depression of course we have also depression but the approach will be different I think I think in the western world like especially in the United States what I see is also people expect anybody to be happy yeah and there is a pressure from the family or friends like like we feel we have to be happy and we if we are not we are we have to be like right and that’s great but then if we have less for example then if we go into the dark time then we feel something’s going terribly wrong but we go through that and recently what I discovered is like when we have a dopamine like when we’re something happy exciting yes you know so this dopamine level can be 10 okay but also our depression or the sadness or anxiety stress that can be also 10 so this is like adrenaline it can be what it can be what it can be 10 yes yeah so like um adrenaline dopamine really both of them can be really heightened and if you see Japan like a Japanese monk this capacity of okay here is the middle zero point can be this way yep extremely happy happy happy and then here oh yes so this yeah goes up and down but then yeah you have big extremes so if you go down this actually my son is actually he he’s he’s beaten the Japanese monk he doesn’t actually flip over so much he’s very calm so yeah I wish I can I can be also very emotional but then in Japan we have also the way to appreciate this shadow side so it means like for example the Japanese aesthetics is coming from like maybe you have heard of wabi-sabi from the tea ceremony appreciating and seeing the truth in nature and finding beauty in truth so not from the beautiful shiny beauty but also in shadow just sleeping you know like sleeping like I have this tea yeah and just holding this this can be just for me the happy moment it’s not about going out partying although I love dancing but you know it’s just this very very quiet moment and this is the bottom of happiness can be in just sitting alone and looking at the tree and then you might feel when you have we have to do something have to do something to be happy but then if you can find this beauty in stillness and silence it’s not about depression it is just giving enjoying the night of our life yeah and then in Japan we still have like of course we have modernized urban culture as well if you see Japan but also we have this tradition and which is embedded in our DNA so something that we can enjoy this night of life as well the shadow side like if you go to the temple in Japan it’s just so tranquil and this is also the happiness so so it’s not about depression you can be of course when we feel sad it’s not nice but also there is a beauty in it as well

[Julie Jancius] (28:34 – 29:42)

the other thing that I want to talk about is it seems like the Japanese art of manifesting really prioritizes and emphasizes collective energy communal energy and we touched on this a bit but I want to go into it deeper it it doesn’t really talk about the self whereas when we manifest a lot here in the United States it’s me me me like what am I to your point what am I going to make this year numbers and all of these accomplishments that we want to have so is the Japanese art of manifesting more about service because that’s what the angels talk about is really being of service and part of this life force of we’re all connected to what I call oneness energy it’s just this so tell us more about that and how Americans can reframe because I think that could be really hard for a lot of people to go from this idea of every January we’re manifesting for ourselves how do we reframe that to manifest from a place of service okay so I also went through

[Azumi Uchitani] (29:43 – 34:16)

my journey as well and something that I wanted to do it for myself and and then I I have studied business as well so I applied kind of conventional business plan didn’t work out but when I did other things including this book journey it was everything organically came to my path and also I was able to catch the opportunity I was able to see the opportunity which was actually in front of me when something very very negative things happened to me then there was opportunity so then it was from really my myself of being service and this is something for example in Japan even when like the company and when we work for the company we serve to our um our employer and even like for example when we eat we are in Christianity as well we have you have a prayer before eating before eating we say itadakimasu means to receive so itadakimasu is thank you I’m receiving I’m receiving okay so then not only the person who made food but it means to the person who grow vegetable then to the son who gave vegetable to grow and it is entire universe so the correctiveness is even it’s in the language as well and it is something that in our self-consciousness that as I mentioned in the beginning it is we are part of nature we are not here alone if we go back to you know like seven generation how many people behind us so it is okay me Azumi’s body now but my cells are also you know given by my parents grandparents then when we think then we are going to pass this I have a son as well so it’s going to my son and then hopefully grandchildren so we are part of this big cycle that’s and the big circle we are part of this big circle that we are connected so when especially manifesting when we think my mission life mission that I recognized was I was since I was child I was very interested in English language I was five years old started singing ABCD songs and I was just so fascinated about Europe and also literature and then my study I continued but then at the same time I was I had traditional upbringing and spiritual upbringing so it became for me to stay in this western culture was to breach to breach different cultures and to bridge ancient and modern this becomes my life mission and it’s not just me I’m represent I’m being service to you service to everybody and even my book I say our book because it’s not only me but I’ve been working with my publishers I consider as a messenger there are many title author artist business consultant life coach etc but messenger I receive message and I just deliver and I work together with everybody so everybody I really feel this book is also my son has been working with me as well my youtube channel it’s our joint project and it is not just me and it is our project and when I see that sometimes I work seven days a week okay the reason that I was I’m able to do that it’s not I enjoy connecting people and bring something beautiful to the world of course like in Japan as I mentioned some people are more modernized westernized but still we have this collectiveness and the word we use is called nakama n-a-k-a-m-a nakama is the people it’s also in my book and people who has shared purpose vision and work together on the same path so it’s not just friends or not colleagues but somebody who connect together like we are now nakama amazing amazing

[Julie Jancius] (34:16 – 35:06)

you know what I’m wondering and I was wondering this while I was reading your book is when it comes to social media in Japan and how social media is really changing traditions and the way that we see things how are people in Japan handling this where this is like so beautiful you know looking at celebrating the future in advance prioritizing and emphasizing service over the self is social media changing that at all in Japan and if so how is the older generation kind of bringing up the younger generation in these traditions okay so social media and there

[Azumi Uchitani] (35:06 – 36:49)

is of course good influence but influence both of them as well and like younger generation the culture evolves every cultures society keep evolving in certain ways and also now we have more influence of not only other cultures but the digital culture that is coming in and also like in Japan and I also went through in my my youth it was lots of western culture and we were so fascinated about it but still we have throughout seasons this is one of the beautiful things in Japan we have been keeping this tradition not as a religion but as a life philosophy so for example first of January we go to the shrine it’s fun for anybody it is really it’s not about going to the church or like I like to be honest I mean for me cathedrals chapels church they are beautiful such a beautiful energy and I love going there even I studied christianity I’m not catholic or not a protestant but I like being surrounded by that energy and in Japan also like going to shrine this is something that we appreciate going there and it doesn’t matter of modern culture modern digital culture we go there then we have also seasonal celebration which is which I have written in my book so that we practice and we we like not only what I have written in my book but there are so many different celebrations ceremonial rituals

[Julie Jancius] (36:49 – 37:39)

for our life and also for community when it comes to people in Japan what percentage of the population goes to the shrine on January 1st is it like 99% of people is it how high is it and then what are those traditions because I think that you find in America that most people are really focused in on manifesting all of January and getting those manifestation boards done which are fantastic and and really I believe that you can manifest anything that that you want talked about that a lot on the podcast in the past but you keep the traditions going in Japan not just in January but all throughout the year how so tell people that so first of all we don’t

[Azumi Uchitani] (37:39 – 39:31)

go to shrine to manifest something okay yes okay it is yeah we go there to say thank you yes it’s a prayer of appreciation we go there to serve which is this is one of the big difference because when it comes to manifestations oh I want to manifest it becomes really really rigid and it becomes from the place of scarcity that’s the big difference I also wrote in my book to start about this manifestation journey we need to understand where our desires I also don’t like to use the word desire where why our wishes is coming from so in Japan when we have this when we go to I think I don’t have number of how many people goes to shrine but it is really like a big festival in a way yeah and we meet people we meet friends we dress up and I sometimes wear kimono and it is you know like it is a really beautiful moment to to celebrate together and then we go there how what I do with my my students client in January about I give workshop with calligraphy I ask them how you want to be what kind of it’s not about what I want to manifest how you want to be which is more important because you can get what you want but then it may not bring how you want to believe it tell people what you mean by that because I’ve

[Julie Jancius] (39:31 – 40:03)

got a lot of friends who are very very very highly successful and they all say you know that you can look at a lot of successful people and think that their life is amazing from the outside but you really get to know them and they’re not spending time with their kids and they don’t have work-life balance at all and they’re not really happy and they’re not really joyful so when you say how do you want to be what do you mean by that example I want to feel peaceful every day I want to feel

[Azumi Uchitani] (40:03 – 42:06)

loving every day I want to have stability in life I want to I don’t want to have much you know like this big dopamine and big adrenaline these changes or like I just want to be very very motivated I want to have lots of inspirations and it can be different you know every month for example so one month you might feel like yeah I want to really keep I want to be really have lots of energy to produce this I want to write then you can plan our life to be like that this is how then the things that is necessary will come along so this is energy so for example you might say oh I want to create this business but then what you wanted was you wanted to maybe receive recognition validation love something missing but then that’s the actually this is one of the very common happening like many many oh I want to create this business and I want to get this degree another one another one and then you work on that to manifest that the business especially business new business or the money but then the wish that’s coming from maybe from the luck maybe feeling not good enough or you need validation you need approval but then the more even okay you get it but then suddenly you will get this approval validation this goes down because people forget about it then you feel oh I have to do something else but maybe if you really look down look inside deeper deeper it’s maybe something that you really wants to have could be connection with people could be love really so that’s we need to understand that that’s what you mean by helping

people find you know where your desire comes from for this wish exactly exactly yes actually yeah so give me a couple other examples maybe of you know your students and what you’ve seen in the past where maybe they’re they’re in um where their desire came from wasn’t really what they wanted

[Azumi Uchitani] (42:32 – 43:28)

yes exactly so uh also myself as well I have been through that path as well I’m also student myself student of life me too me too yes this was one of the example from you know my students my clients and often what we want like I say okay can be also the relationship I want to find a wife such a such a person why you can’t find with from the list then you know you might be able to get the person that you you want but then it might be different from how you want it then you might blame this person so that’s that’s that’s so that’s what we have to really look into how this is also for anything how you want to be and that’s uh that’s the secret yes I love this how do you want to be

[Julie Jancius] (43:28 – 44:33)

and where does the desire come from so everybody who’s listening right now can do this work as we’re rolling from 2025 into 2026 asking yourself I think the more that you ask yourself why the deeper you go so looking at what you’re wishing for for the next year even this final quarter of the year and why you know why is that desire on your heart goes deeper into the intention behind it and if that intention matches service to the collective harmony with nature that oneness energy I think that from that energetic space it’s even easier to your point at the beginning of getting into the joy of the future and and matching your energy in the present moment to what you want in the future celebrating it as if it’s already here wonderful yes and also if I may I like to also add

[Azumi Uchitani] (44:33 – 47:52)

one more thing which is really I love it really important it’s basically you also already mentioned about quieting mind quieting in nature very easy you know I wouldn’t say easy to say but I recently also learned myself how it is so powerful to catch what we are thinking internally and there is a section in my book called kotodama the power of words it’s called the spirits of word every word carries the energy not just what we say but how we are thinking yeah and especially when something terrible happens I just mentioned to Julie before this podcast that my passport got stolen the day before my book launch and you’re supposed to travel yes and they went on my arrival in London and then I got totally shocked of course and then I said oh my god my bag was open how silly I am and I had to actually get some family documentation registration a copy of the documentation from Japan and I had to tell my parents and I was really like getting in panic and then wait a second I have a book talk tomorrow what did I write in my book so I just practiced what I wrote in my book as well and this kotodama because when we have this kind of dramatic events we our minds really start talking so much and worries one another oh how can I get my passport and then maybe can I go to New York still in time and that kind of source of course immediately happened but then I had to apply okay yeah one by one what do I have to do don’t worry embassies are here they are here to support how wonderful they actually they had been really fantastic and I was so grateful so then also my friends there everybody was so supportive so then I actually changed this talk of anger worries to appreciation how lucky I am how grateful they are and so so then everything worked out wow oh my gosh I love that so but then you know I also I didn’t tell many people because we talk about now I can tell what happened but on that moment I also didn’t want to dramatize because we are so good at dramatizing and making this as a kind of story right sure sure you see what happens I’m not doing so I try to come with that come down okay now I my passport is stolen and I’m doing such and such things and just if I had to say I have to say but then I really focus my energy and monitor so that works I can tell you that really works especially in that kind of

[Julie Jancius] (47:53 – 48:58)

instant what happens yeah it’s very because our nervous systems are gonna get flared that’s part of our DNA that’s just gonna happen but I love this process of how you work through it and oh my gosh I feel like there’s just so many nuggets of wisdom that people are gonna take away and pull into 2026 friends if you’re listening I hope you create your own traditions of of course God universe source wants you to be wishing and creating in this lifetime this beautiful forest of manifestations in your own life but there are so many beautiful traditions from the Japanese culture that we can learn from and adapt into our own lives that just benefit us and make us bloom so much more so thank you Azumi for like your work and bringing this wonderful wonderful world like world to us thank you so much for having me and thank you for sharing this time that’s been such a pleasure and tell everybody one more time what’s the name of your book and
