Misogi - a sacred ablution

I realized that taking a shower is more than just washing my body.
It's also one of the best way to change my feelings.
After the shower, I feel much lighter. It's as if all the minus and heavy feelings such as worries, fume or jealousy are gone with the body dirt.
Then with the purified mind, I can get many inspirations. They teaches so simple rules and many beautiful facts in our mind. I'm discovering these one by one almost everyday, but these are most often discovered while I'm in a shower. (This is much much fun than any other studies.)

And may be because of this phenomena, which seemingly happens to any person in this world, to take a bath or a shower has often been regarded as a sacred ablution.
