My journey with self-love and
elegance began not with high heels
but with the silent grace of figure
skating. Only later did I find the same
essence through high heels.
That was when I first sensed
the quiet power of self-love and
elegance through high heels
echoing what I had felt on the ice.
Its overwhelming beauty
touched my heart in the purest
and most sincere way.
However, after I began walking
the stage as a model, my view
of figure skating changed.
In order to express dazzling
beauty, technical mastery is
essential.
And to acquire such mastery
requires immeasurable effort.
That is why I came to deeply
admire the profound nature of
true beauty and I began to long
to embody it myself in the latter
half of my teenage years.
Compared to other runway models,
I was significantly shorter.
This became both a handicap and
a source of personal insecurity.
On stage, there was a clear
difference in visual impact
between someone like me and
those who were much taller.
At that point, I realized something.
The only thing that could surpass
height was aura.
So I began studying on my own
how to radiate presence.
This personal pursuit continued
for over thirteen years.
Among the most valuable
sources of inspiration I encountered
was figure skating.
The unwavering vertical axis
of the body represents the essence
of the masculine
a power that gives rise to
something sacred and strong.
At the same time, the tension
that extends with awareness
all the way to the fingertips and
the graceful rhythm of the body
expresses the feminine essence,
a deep and refined elegance.
When these two opposing
energies are fused into a single
expression, the aura that is
released from the body becomes
your very presence.
I practiced this realization again
and again on the runwayand
proved it through experience.
Practicing self-love and elegance
through high heels is no longer
a personal quest, but a wisdom
I now share with others.
Today, I pass on this living wisdom
wholeheartedly to my clients.
One of its most refined expressions
is walking in high heels, which
I consider to be a way of life filled
with elegance.
My high-heel method is based
on quiet and deliberate movement
in which the upper body remains
still without swaying forward,
backward or side to side.
Maintaining your body’s axis is
not about depending on external
force, nor is it about keeping balance
by using motion.
Rather, it is about drawing from
inner strength. It means remaining
completely still and standing in full
self-reliance.
To put it even more simply,
beauty does not come from
external approval.
True beauty is born when you
are fully liberated from the gaze
of others and free from the
emptiness and insecurity that
arise through comparison.
As long as you are waiting
for others to validate you,
true beauty cannot be born
because that means you are
unconsciously denying
your own worth.
Being beautiful is not for
someone else.
It is purely for yourself.
Recognition from others may
come afterward, but it is never
the goal.
The moment you compare
yourself to someone else,
you begin to drift away from
true happiness.
No matter how exquisite
your outfit may be, if it is worn
with comparison in your heart
a sense of lack will only grow
stronger without you
even realizing it.
What helps you break free from
all of this is the ASAMI-PARIS
high-heel walking method.
It helps you return to your inner
axis, and to remember the self
that was always whole and perfect.
Many people believe that they
are not enough, and so they
begin to add more and more—
through learning, effort, and time.
But in truth, to return to your most
beautiful, sacred, and powerful self,
you must subtract rather than add.
When walking in high heels,
do not move simply to hide what
you believe are your flaws.
True beauty lives in stillness.
It exists in the quiet elegance
of a single, intentional gesture.
As this entry has become quite long,
I will continue with Chapter 2 in my
next blog.
