Cherry Blossom and the Law of Attraction

How I came up with Ima Iwai, which means to celebrate the here and now. It is from a Japanese version of the law of attraction. We have had a concept called Yoshuku or Mae Iwai, which is to celebrate your future success in advance as if it has already happened. Cherry blossom viewing was one such a practice; it was a celebration of the year’s rice harvest in advance.
