A Journey into our Nature
A Moment That Changed Everything
Picture a moment that redefines how you see the world, that shifts your entire perspective on life as a whole. For me, that moment arrived on my 40th birthday in the summer of 2008. As the manager of Koningsteen, a seminar center near Brussels, I was invited to a shamanic gathering called “Opening of the Heart.” Feeling grounded and open, I thought, Why not dive in? That weekend became the starting point of a transformative journey I now present to you as the Sakura Lifestyle, a way of living aligned with nature’s proven strategies, discovering your potential beyond the constrains of your mind.
The Power of Being You
During the ceremony, we were asked to share our intention for the group. Others spoke of finding love and meaning, releasing burdens, or setting boundaries, but I felt content, with little to “fix.”When the shaman suggested, “Steven, what if your intention was to just be yourself?” I agreed, not realizing the depth of those words. That simple intention became the foundation of a profound inner adventure.
Looking back, I see how that moment planted a seed. The Sakura Lifestyle isn’t about chasing external goals, it’s about uncovering the authenticity already within you, a journey that reshapes how you navigate life’s complexities.
Discovering What Shapes our Experiences
Over time, I came to understand the startling truth: we are the architects of our experiences. Betrayal, setbacks, or moments of injustice? They’re not random, they reflect the unconscious patterns we carry. This was a humbling realization for someone accustomed to steering the course of life. My mind resisted, clinging to control, but as I explored my character, temperament, family patterns, and cultural roots, a new world opened. With understanding I was able to loosen the grip of my mind. I gained clarity on how these forces shaped my reality.
This isn’t about dwelling on the past but understanding how it lives in the present, guiding us toward greater clarity and purpose.
The Beauty of Now
The Sakura Lifestyle offers a refreshing truth: you don’t need to dig through old wounds to grow. Like a lotus blooming through mud or a tree drawing strength from its roots, your transformation always unfolds in the present moment. The past is always with you, but obsessing over it can fuel the mind’s need for control. Instead, the Sakura Guide provides a framework to meet each moment with awareness. When old patterns emerge, you learn to respond with intention rather than react from habit.
This shift is where true freedom lies, a chance to live with purpose in every interaction.
Responsibility as a Way of Being
The Sakura Lifestyle reimagines responsibility as your ability to respond. Life’s challenges aren’t roadblocks; they’re invitations to show up fully. Like a lotus rooted in mud, your greatest growth comes from embracing these moments. This approach transforms obstacles into opportunities, allowing you to move through life with confidence and poise.
The Tools Within Reach
The beauty of this journey is that you already carry the tools you need, they’re called virtues. Qualities like trust, courage, patience, and honesty are your foundation. The Sakura Guide refines these, offering a clear context to apply them in daily life. This isn’t about adding complexity; it’s about rediscovering what’s innate and using it to enrich your experiences.
