🎋Join Our Quiet Community- Shizen Circle: https://www.shizenstyle.com/membership 📘 21 Days to Ikigai →https://www.shizenstyle.com/21-days-t... ◦Newsletter: https://www.shizenstyle.com/newsletter In this video, I’m sharing 7 key lessons from A Monk’s Guide to a Clean House and Mind by Shoukei Matsumoto—and how they can help you feel calmer and more at home in your own space. We’ll explore how monks think about cleaning, why small daily rituals matter more than big “spring cleans,” and how your room quietly reflects your inner state. You’ll also see how treating objects with respect, caring for “water spaces” like sinks and bathrooms, and turning simple chores into moving meditation can shift the way you feel in your own home. By the end, you’ll walk away with a few simple, practical habits inspired by Japanese temple life and a gentle five‑minute “monk challenge” you can try today—no perfectionism, no aesthetic pressure, just a softer way to live in your space. If you enjoy Japanese aesthetics, slow living, and the intersection of everyday life and mindfulness, this one’s for you. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ◦The Quiet Lens: https://www.shizenstyle.com/the-quiet... ◦My Fine Art Photography and Shakuhachi: https://www.gen-setsu.com/ ◦ Visit Shizen Style for learning resources like E-books, my blog, shopping etc.: https://www.shizenstyle.com ◦ Gear I use: ▹https://www.shizenstyle.com/my-gear ◦ COME SAY HI: ▹ Instagram:   / gensetsu_art   ▹ Facebook:   / gensetsu.art   ▹ Website: https://shizenstyle.com/ Some of those links are affiliate links (Amazon etc.), it doesn't cost you more and it helps me to continue this channel thanks to a small commission I receive.
