---BEFORE---
---AFTER---
2 days to go for the New year 2010. I did cleaned up my room to welcome a Happy 2010 today. In Japan, we do traditonary clean up everywhere in house, apartment, office and so on to welcome the New year around the end of the year. Maybe it is a kind of ritual stuff related to Shintoism.
Shinto hates "Kegare" which means the state of being not clean, pure, dirty or whatever bad. By cleaning up, or purifing, we can put the negative enrgy which might have piled up during the passing year away, and welcome the possive energy which might brought us some luck and happiness during the coming year.
I feel now very cleaned up in mind like my room. I do hope that I will be lucky during 2010 as I'm always.
