I've heard of the word "purification" (jijo), but what does it mean?
It sounds suspiciously religious.
Some people may have such an image.
In this article, I will try to avoid religious or difficult topics as much as possible and explain about purification in an easy-to-understand manner. I would appreciate if you could give me 3 minutes of your time.
Purification simply means to cleanse something dirty. The opposite would be to defile.
Incidentally, the official synonym for purification is "pollution" (from a dictionary website).
Polluting the air can be physical, such as exhaust fumes or cigarette smoke, but the same can also be said of stagnation of something like energy flowing in nature.
Imagine for a moment.
〇A park on a sunny afternoon, birds chirping and children laughing through the trees, a refreshing breeze gently brushing your cheeks as you take a stroll.
●The shutters are closed, things are scattered in the room, bedding and clothes are undone, and people can be heard arguing.
It is obvious which is a more pleasant place to be.
This is a rather extreme example, but are there places in the house, for example, that somehow bother you?
You can probably think of a hallway, a bathroom, a dressing room, an entryway, or even a room that you don't want to linger in for some reason, or a place that is used as a storage room.
By purifying such places, the air sometimes feels lighter and brighter.
You want to make your surroundings such a pleasant place anyway, don't you?
By the way, not only rooms and places but also people have their good and bad vibes.
It depends on how the person himself or spends his or her days, but the environment also has a great influence.
Spending one's days in a purified environment with clean air and the opposite environment will change one's atmosphere and destiny.
It would be nice to spend time in a place with a good atmosphere and surrounded by people with a good atmosphere.
But it is difficult to arrange everything.
So, purification is a way to change the environment into one that is good for you in a variety of ways.
So, what exactly should we purify?

You have probably seen salt heaped at the entrances to stores and inns.
This is one of the traditional methods of purification.
There are many other ways to purify the body, which we will introduce here.
Is this purification? You may think so, but cleaning is the strongest method of purification.
You may remember your mother telling you to clean up, but please try it.
Clean the entrance
The entrance is the place where most people come and go, and it is the face of the house.
Few people get up and go out without washing their faces when they leave the house.
If you are a woman, you wash your face, put on makeup, and go out with a smile on your face.
It is said that if the entrance, the face of the house, is clean, good luck will come in, and if it is the opposite, it will run away.
Try to imagine a cute angel coming in and vice versa.
Please take out only one pair of shoes each person has worn that day and put the rest in the shoe box.
Please clean and polish the floor.
It is also a good idea to place items such as family photos, plants, or natural stones in the space above the shoe boxes.
The scent is also important. Try to create a fragrance that makes you feel good when you come home.
Keep the room bright and breezy.
When water, people, and air are stagnant, the energy of the place will drop.
Even in cold or hot weather, try to change the air in your room once a day if possible.
Opening two windows will allow air to flow through.
If not, it may be a good idea to turn on an exhaust fan.
Also, open the curtains and shutters to let light in.
Clean the entire house.
Try cleaning other rooms as well.
The basic rule is to get rid of what you don't need.
The richer a house is, the less stuff it has, and the less money it has, the more stuff it is full of.
Throw away clothes that you won't wear for a season.
It doesn't matter if you have three can openers.
In any case, forget about waste and get rid of it.
Also, clean (purify) your car and the area around your desk at work.
If your mood changes, your destiny will change just a little bit.
As I mentioned at the beginning of this article, you have probably seen salt placed at the entrances to stores, inns, hotels, and other places.
Also, at funerals, before entering a house, people sprinkle salt to purify themselves, right?
This is also a method of purification to prevent evil spirits (bad vibes) from following you into your home.
Sumo wrestlers also sprinkle salt in the sumo ring to ward off evil spirits and prevent injuries.
Place salt at the entrance of the house.
Putting salt in the bathtub
Sprinkling salt in the bath
As to why salt is used for purification, the use of salt for purification seems to be surprisingly unique to Japanese culture.
According to one theory, there was an episode in Japan's oldest book, Kojiki (Record of Ancient Matters), in which salt was said to have special powers.
Another theory is that the custom of misogi (washing and purifying oneself) in the sea led to the use of salt to purify seawater.
In Japan, an island nation, the sea itself was both a blessing and an object of reverence that could cause disasters, and salt contained in seawater may have come to be treated as a medium between the gods and Buddha.
Sake has also been used for purification in Japan since ancient times.
A typical example is the jichinsai, a ceremony to purify and worship the gods of the land when building a house or other structure.
As the word "Omiki" implies, sake and salt are used as offerings to the gods, and the power of the gods is used to purify the body of the deceased.
I heard about this method from a spiritual counselor once. If you heap up some salt in an area of concern in your house and place a cup of sake (such as one cup sold at convenience stores) right next to it, mold will grow on the surface of the sake.
Throw this away outside the premises.
If you repeat the process several times and the mold gradually stops growing, the purification is complete.
Decorating with houseplants and flowers is another way of purification.
Plants convert the carbon dioxide we emit into fresh oxygen.
This is a cleansing process, but the energy of nature is also healing.
Try decorating with houseplants and flowers.
You will see a bright change in the atmosphere of your room.
Everyone pays a visit to shrines such as Hatsumode or Shichigosan, don't you?
In fact, visiting shrines and temples is also an excellent way to purify your body.
It is recommended to regularly visit a shrine that is a famous power spot, as well as a neighborhood Ujigami shrine.
Mindfulness meditation has recently become popular around the world.
It has become popular among the world's elite, such as Steve Jobs, Bill Gates, Google, Facebook, and Goldman Sachs, who have adopted it for their business success.
Mindfulness meditation is about stopping thinking about this and that and focusing on the here and now.
Meditation is said to improve immunity, reduce stress, make you more positive, increase happiness, and improve concentration.
At the same time, it helps to purify the body and mind by allowing us to organize and objectify our minds.
Spending time in nature such as green parks, forests, waterfalls, rivers, mountains, and oceans is another way to purify your body.
Plan to spend time in nature on your holidays or trips.
What I recommend in doing so is not to carry your phone with you.
No matter what natural and lush place you are in, your mind will be pulled all the way back by text messages and ringtones.
It is also a good idea to leave your phone in your car or at a hotel, and make time to be disconnected once in a while.
White sage is an herb that grows wild in the majestic lands of California.
Native Americans dried this sacred herb and burned it to purify the land and themselves.

Sound vibrations (sound waves) themselves also have purifying effects.
Tuning forks (tuners) for musical instruments that are tuned to sound waves that are good for the body and for purification are used in psychology and medicine.

Natural stones such as quartz are also said to have purifying properties.
Incidentally, quartz clocks keep accurate time by using the vibration of quartz.
Things vibrate, and each stone, including quartz, has its own unique vibration.
These are easy items that can be held in the hand or placed in a space to purify it.

If you are interested in purification, you are very conscious about the influence of nature, living environment, and connections with other people on your mind and body. Everything is not unrelated, but connected and influences each other. When we spend time in beautiful nature, we feel light and refreshed, as if our mind has been reset.
On the other hand, crowded trains and busy days in the city can tire the body and mind.
Lucas manufactures and sells items that lightly purify (reset) the environment and the body and mind for such times.
All of these items are based on the wisdom of our ancestors who used and discovered various materials in the natural world.
In recent years, the number of people practicing meditation, mindfulness, and yoga has been increasing.
Both are meant to help people become aware of their mental health as well as their physical health, and to reconnect with nature by reexamining themselves.
Please try to purify yourself as well as the space and relax your body and mind.
The phases of the moon are also related to human biorhythms.
Some days are particularly suitable for purification.
Try to incorporate purification at the new moon and full moon, which occur twice a month.
By purifying your body and mind at these times, you will be in tune with the moon and the earth.
New Moon
A dark day when the moon is completely gone.
This is the best day to start things.
It is recommended to start something new together with purification.
Full Moon
The day when the moon appears round. A day to complete things and also to let go.
Think about what has been, separate what is necessary and what is not, and let go of what is unnecessary.

I think that many of the things we do for cleansing are surprisingly common things that we already do. In summary, it is a lifestyle of using various methods and natural materials to live a comfortable and rich life in your own way.
I hope you will try to incorporate this into your own lifestyle.
