The Sakura Guide
The most Natural Process of Life
Introduction
“Adopting the Sakura Lifestyle” is a deeply reflective and profoundly practical guide that transcends conventional self-help literature. Rooted in lived experience, it offers a compelling synthesis of nature’s wisdom, human psychology, and the transformative power of co-creation.
Steven Pauwels distills two decades of exploration into a lifestyle philosophy that is as poetic as it is actionable. Blending introspective narrative with foundational principles of human nature, this guide gently invites readers to reclaim presence, navigate life with awareness, and transform their daily routines into sacred expressions of self-mastery. It is a soulful roadmap for those seeking inner lightness and harmony in a fast-paced world.
Discover a transformative guide that turns everyday life into a journey of inner harmony, co-creation, and self-mastery. Rooted in nature’s wisdom and your own true essence.
A New set of Tools
The guide offers powerful tools such as the five fundamental principles of human nature, the mirror of life, the structure of co-creation, and the 15 virtues of creation.
Each designed to foster awareness, navigate challenges, and support a natural, purposeful way of living grounded in presence, responsibility, and inner alignment.
These tools apply to all domains of life.
Trust the process. It will guide you to a life of harmony, richness and fueled by meaning. A life, uniquely yours.
The Foundation
The process of co-creation as laid-out in the guide, is grounded in the fundamental principles of our human nature. They shine light on our individual responsibility.
From a young age, we’re conditioned to belief that our environment shapes our emotions, reactions, and sense of self. But this belief, as deeply ingrained as it may be, is far from the truth.
Prologue
The Journey that Found Me
"This guide is the blooming flower of a 20-year journey, a path I didn’t set out to walk, but one that found me and guided me along the way. What I share here is more than just learnings and insights; it’s the structure of a process of transformation that emerged from all of my experiences on my journey.
Though this guide is intertwined with my personal story, it’s not about the story, nor about me. My story is simply the context for the message, standing alone, ready to meet you wherever you are.
Adopting this lifestyle can feel uncomfortable at first. Our modern world bombards us with distractions, expectations, and responsibilities, leaving little room for just being. Many of us wait until life forces us to pause, before we consider a different way of living. That was my path, but it doesn’t have to be yours !”
