DAY 12: Kotodama – When Words Become Magic
Today you’ll discover the ancient Shinto art of kotodama – the mystical belief that words themselves contain magical powers to transform your environment, body, mind, and breath, whether spoken aloud or held silently in your heart.
You now have two powerful pathways to choose from: the concentrated internal practice of reciting (diving deep into meaning and contemplation) or the transformative art of chanting (letting your body become a resonating singing bowl that embodies the poetry through pure vibration and sacred breath).
Empress Shoken’s perfectly timed wisdom today reminds you that with such powerful tools comes great responsibility – just as spiritual practice requires balance between excess and deficiency, your words now carry the potential to either heal or harm, making your mindful use of waka all the more sacred and potent.
