Welcome to Hygge Magic!
Welcome to The Life-Changing Magic of Hygge, an explorative fusion of the Danish and Scandinavian concept of hygge and the Japanese phenomenon known as KonMari.
Hygge is the Danish concept of enjoying life's simple pleasures.
KonMari is a life-changing journey to create a tidy home that reflects who you are in the present moment.
But how can things—coffee, cookies, candles, books, and blankets—translate into joy, magic, and cozy times?
And how does keeping these things tidy—which I acknowledge are things and not experiences—create hygge?
20th century imagist poet William Carlos Williams wrote "No ideas but in things." This line spurred countless poets and writers who followed to consider objects as the thing that they are rather than exploring the abstract concepts attached to them.
Perhaps the alchemy of hygge and konmari is the intentional transformation of things back to their original intents, purposes, and characteristics. Things as things and not as abstractions. To fully experience the objects as they are in the present moment.
The sharing of these things—these things presence now as things and not as abstractions—whether with the self in solace or the self in communion with friends, family, and loved ones is the where and the how hygge and magic are created.
