Hanafuda: A Reflection of the Japanese Soul and the Beauty of Imperfection
Hanafuda is a traditional Japanese card deck with 48 cards, each representing a season, month, flower, or animal. Originally used for gambling, Hanafuda has gained deep symbolic meaning over time and is now used for divination. Japanese people believed these cards could reflect a person’s inner world and predict the future.
A special concept in Japanese culture is wabi-sabi, the appreciation of beauty in imperfection and change. This view is embodied in Hanafuda, where each symbol carries shades of incompleteness, fragility, and the ever-changing nature of life. By reading these cards, we not only receive answers to our questions but also learn to see beauty in every twist of fate, in the unpredictability and imperfections of our lives. Wabi-sabi helps us accept our lives as they are and find harmony in apparent flaws.
Hygge: The Philosophy of Comfort and Harmony
Hygge is a Danish concept that is hard to translate into other languages. It’s more than just coziness—it’s a feeling of safety, warmth, and contentment experienced during moments of calm and comfort. Hygge permeates all aspects of Danish life, from interior design to interactions with loved ones.
The philosophy of hygge teaches us to value small joys in life, find beauty in everyday moments, and create a cozy atmosphere around us. It’s not just about decorative elements or a trendy word but a way of life that brings people closer to each other and to themselves. By applying hygge, you create a space where you can relax, release stress, and enjoy simple but important moments, whether it’s reading a book, chatting with a friend, or spending an evening by the fireplace.
The Synergy of Hanafuda and Hygge
Combining Hanafuda and hygge creates a wonderful synergistic effect. Meditative Hanafuda readings in a hygge atmosphere allow for a deeper self-exploration, letting go of worries, and receiving wise guidance from the cards. Hygge helps us accept the results of the readings with gratitude and use them for personal growth, emphasizing the importance of comfort and tranquility in the self-discovery process.
Meditative Hanafuda readings are a unique method that blends ancient Japanese card wisdom with modern psychological techniques. Developed by me, this practice offers a unique approach to self-discovery, combining deep immersion into the unconscious with elements of divination. Emerging from observing the needs of clients working with metaphorical cards, meditative Hanafuda readings not only provide answers to important questions but also offer inner peace and clarity, revealing hidden resources and potential.
How Does It Work?
- Preparation: Create a cozy space for meditation. Light a candle, play soothing music, and sit comfortably, creating a hygge atmosphere. This space should make you feel safe and calm.
- Formulating Your Question: Make a clear and specific question you want answered. Ensure your question is sincere and comes from the depth of your heart.
- Drawing Cards: Choose a number of cards from the deck (from 1 to 9) based on your question and intuition. It could be a single card for a simple answer or a full spread for a deeper interpretation.
- Meditation: Carefully examine each card. Notice the colors, symbols, and emotions it evokes. Try to feel a connection with the images on the cards and sense their energy.
- Integration: Combine the meanings of all the cards into a unified picture. Look for the overall trend and extract practical advice. Reflect on how this spread relates to your current life situation and what it suggests.
- Affirmation: Create an affirmation that will be your motto, belief, and expression of your attitude toward the situation. For example, if the spread indicates the need to embrace change, your affirmation might be: “I open myself to new opportunities with confidence and calm.”
