MISOGI
禊
ACTIVATING THE BODY'S SELF-HEALING POWER
​
Purification cleansing rituals have been used and developed by mystics and sages throughout time to access higher levels of understanding and awareness, as well as mind-body-spirit renewal through what the Japanese Shinto calls Misogi (water purification), by washing away impurities or obscure energies in a river, waterfall, or sea, and Misogi-no-kokyu-ho (purification through breath).
Misogi breathing exercises are the core practice at Zenbu Dojo, by synchronizing physical, psychological, emotional, and higher energetic states in a harmonious way within ourselves, others, and the world.
​
Breath power also called "Kokyu" in Japanese, is a self-purification ritual of declogging the system while activating the energy centers of the body while promoting the cultivation and circulation of KI (vital energy) through the entire system.
