Kotodama: Words That Heal | Sami Torii | TEDxYouth@ASIJ

The Japanese belief that there is a mystical power that resides in words is known as "kotodama." This talk explores how the same words that are often taken for granted can have an incredible power and impact. Sami, a junior at ASIJ, communicates the importance of Kotodama, the Japanese belief in the powers that exist in words. For several years, Sami struggled with an undiagnosed condition that climaxed in her sophomore year of high school, resulting in frequent emergency room trips. Now that Sami has recovered, she is able to reflect on the wide variety of experiences she faced that opened her eyes to the value of words. Sami highlights that words are taken for granted and often said thoughtlessly; however, their impact has the power to create or destroy life's delicate balance. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at https://www.ted.com/tedx
