EMBRACING THE ART OF LOVE
DO YOU QUESTION YOUR
PURPOSE IN LIFE?
Embracing the art of love can bring you greater peace, happiness, and a sense of purpose each day.
Ayako Kondo knows from experience what it is to feel a lack of love and how to cultivate it in your life. She shares her personal experiences growing up in Japan; the highs and lows of her two marriages, including the death of a spouse; raising her son; and her new life she established in Maui. She also explores how love is understood among different cultures, both East and West, and what we can learn from people of every background.
Ultimately, Ayako reveals that our life is an endless quest to live with purpose and love. Loving is like breathing because you cannot exist without love. This book gives you detailed guidance on how to practice loving, how to overcome the obstacles that prevent us from loving, and how to spread love outward to others.
When you embrace the art of love, you will learn to:
• Connect to your soul
• Cultivate your intuition
• Keep passion burning in your heart
• Make your family a priority
• Connect to the Divine
• Cope with grief and chaos
• Gain self-confidence
• Love yourself fully
It’s time to be uplifted with love, to savor the art of loving with the lightheartedness you feel dancing to beautiful music. When you dance, others will join, and soon you will help to heal and change the world into a more loving place.
