Misogi

Misogi is a purifying ritual the Japanese invented. It generally involves making the pilgrimage to an icy waterfall. Standing underneath the cold water symbolises intense purification.

While the Western way of looking at Misogi is best described by Jesse Itzler:

“The notion around the misogi is, you do something so hard 1 time a year, that has an impact on the other 364 days of the year.”

There are only two rules of Misogi.

Rule 1: Make it really hard.

Rule 2: Don't die.
