洗心

At a Shinto shrine, before you enter, you stop at the chōzubachi and pour water over your hands. The gesture is older than any of us. It is not about getting clean; it is about marking a threshold, leaving what you carried at the gate.

Senshin is the same gesture, at a different scale, applied to what the heart carries. A small ritual you can do when a worry will not let go. It is not therapy and not a treatment. It is a few minutes in which you put a name on a thing, write through it on paper, and put it down for now.

Below are some pieces of public research you may find interesting. They are not what Auwa is doing; they are what other people have noticed about practices like this one.
