Kintsugi Wellness: The Japanese Art of Nourishing Mind, Body, and Spirit by Candice Kumai







Kintsugi is the self-care we all need and deserve.  Kintsugi is applied to vessels that are not just broken, but beloved.




It is through a process of self-care and self-acceptance that we can heal, flourish, and grow.




See the broken, difficult, or painful parts of you as radiating light, gold, and beauty.  Kintsugi teaches you that your broken places make you stronger and better than ever before.




Sometimes, the goal of living isn't all about winning. Sometimes it's about being, enduring, experiencing, learning, trying, failing.




Do your best to eat fresh foods at every meal.  Food is information to the cells in your body.



The Japanese idea of hari hachi bu means to eat only until you are 80 percent full.



You are able to add more to your life when you've subtracted something.



It is [an Okinawan] belief that you must physically move your body every twenty minutes or so to push aging away.
