Carry via Esprit Kintsugi
Do you know the Kintsugi ? It is a Japanese art dating from the fifteenth century, which consists of Underline gold Pure The scars of a broken object. So, instead of being thrown away, the object is even more beautiful after its accident...
What does not kill makes it stronger...
Beyond the obvious and sublime beauty of objects repaired with this method, This art is of course an obvious metaphor for resilience. For, paradoxically, the objects are magnified to have been broken, and the lacquer used reinforces them: it is said that a Kintsugi is more resistant than before his injury... Some purists do not hesitate to Check the force of the repair by throwing on the floor the Kintsugi A second time !
What a pretty symbol of healing: in life too, what does not kill makes it stronger: and our trials are carrying experience.
The Japanese art of living: a new trend in personal development and well-being

The Kintsugi is an art still confidential, even in Japan, where the Masters Kintsugi Are rare and this art sometimes unsung. But it may change... Do you know the Monkey 100th theory and the Morphic resonance of Rupert Sheldrake ? It is said that sometimes some ideas infuse into The collective unconscious And arise at several points on the planet, without any connection between the protagonists... As if, suddenly, the world was ready to hear them.
It is interesting to note that precisely, without any consultation of the authors, came out simultaneously, in April 2018, 3 General public works on the Kintsugi In three different countries! (England, France and USA). Not a Practical Manual on artistic technique... But just three books that address the symbolic Kintsugi As a psychological repair tool.
