It was really a year where i learned a lot o things about myself, others and the world, every year , every day, its an opportunity to learn , thank you for this lovely video 🌺

No point was made in this rant.

I have been told that Shinto can be done without a Kamidana or Shrine , is this true?

The good time spent with friends and getting to see family on the holidays. Merry Christmas 🎅 and Happy New Years🎉

What is the difference between a Miko and a priestess? Are there shinto priestesses? 🤔

hmmm,... my family is extremely traditional ... for us there is attending performance of Beethoven 9th Symphony, eating 0-seichi ryori, writing and sending New Year cards. For New Year day the first thing to drink is o-sake.

I started training karate at the age of 14 years old. At 19, I started training for the next 2 years under Enoeda Sensei and Kanazawa Sensei, in Liverpool, UK. I am now in my mid-70's and I still train in my home Dojo, in Australia (now). I have lived in four different countries and have always kept training karate (or teaching). Oss!

Thank you for sharing. I am learning about Shintō today. 🙏 I found some commonality of Shintō with other religion. The washing for prayers reminds me of the Islam practice of washing before prayers. Although there is the physical side, I believe there is also the symbolic aspect of ensuring purity in approaching the sacred. Secondly, the expression of thanks or gratitude before food is also ritually practiced in Christianity and Islam where one gives thanks for their the food that nature or God has provided. 😊 Lastly, I have a question solely out of curiosity or confirmation. My grandmother was my primary spiritual teacher and she was a Taoist and Buddhist in her time on earth. She mentioned to me when I was little that Shintō ritual has a box where it is opened for prayer ritual. I am curious what she meant as I was too little when she told me this so I did not ask more questions. Or perhaps I have misunderstood her. Maybe some clarification or validation will be great. Thank you again 🙏

Is holding hands between husband and wife frown on in Japanese culture?

Great video. Thanks!

Is shinto only for Japanese? How can you become a shinto follower, with no shrines in your country?

I am at peace, yet i feel sorrow.

The most beautiful concept I have learnt. Many cultures are increasingly admiring bullying. And many media outlets are encouraging hatred. I have already started consciously practising Omoiyari in very small but meaningful ways.

Im just a young lady that started to live by myself at 20. I used to be TOTALLY chaotic. Now that I have my own place I started to appreciate cleaning so much. It brings me peace.
