Furitama 振魂, literally translated as "soul shaking" or "spirit shaking

Furitama is most widely known outside of pure Shinto contexts through its adoption in traditional Aikido. The founder of Aikido, Morihei Ueshiba, integrated Shinto purification rituals (Misogi) into his philosophy and daily training.

While it retains spiritual and meditative roots, in a martial arts setting it serves practical purposes:

Centering: It helps practitioners shift mental gears, clearing away the distractions of daily life to focus entirely on the present moment.

Energy Cultivation: It brings awareness to the hara (center of gravity and vital energy), which is essential for generating power, balance, and efficient movement in martial techniques.
