KINCUKUROI. Healing emotional trauma

apliecinājumu.
Pēc satricinošiem notikumiem dzīve šķiet sašķīdusi gabalu gabalos. Japāņu kincukuroi mākslā tieši šajā mirklī sākas skaistuma radīšana, lauskas rūpīgi savienojot atpakaļ vienā veselumā.

Spāņu psihologs Tomass Navarro (Tomás Navarro) mūs mudina tieši tāpat attiekties pret savu dzīvi un – ar kincukuroi praksi – piedāvā izjustu un kontemplatīvu pieeju ciešanām. Viņš grāmatā min reālus piemērus no savas prakses, kā kincukuroi palīdz iemīlēt dzīvi ar visām tās nepilnībām. No spāņu valodas tulkojis Ilmārs Zvirgzds.

Life can break like a vessel. Japanese kintsukuroi masters repair vessels with gold, transforming fragility into strength and healing life. Kintsukuroi is an ancient Japanese art, where masters repair broken items with gold, leaving the repaired areas visible. Fragility thus becomes a symbol of strength and beauty. The principles of kintsukuroi can also be applied to life to heal emotional wounds. If the golden seams in repaired vessels become a beautiful decoration, then healed traumas become a testament to the strength of the spirit.
After shocking events, life seems shattered into pieces. In Japanese kintsukuroi art, it is at this moment that the creation of beauty begins, carefully joining the shards back into a whole.

Spanish psychologist Tomás Navarro encourages us to treat our lives in the same way and—with the practice of kintsukuroi—offers a thoughtful and contemplative approach to suffering. In his book, he mentions real examples from his practice of how kintsukuroi helps to love life with all its imperfections. Translated from Spanish by Ilmārs Zvirgzds.
