About (Japanese) rituals for the end of the year

Published: Dec. 30, 2021, 5:29 a.m.

In this episode I would like to present three rituals for the end of year.

When the year turns to an end, it’s a great opportunity to let things go and welcome new things like the new year, also like new challenges and new family members like a new born.

By the way, rituals of letting old things go and welcoming new things used to be practiced a lot of cultures.

Here is my selection of three rituals:

1. -> go back through the year 2021, what was positive? What was negative? Go through each month!

2. -> clean your house like the Japanese - known as ‘osouji’

3. -> fumigate your room with incense / sage

Have a lovely end of the year!
