Mizu no yubi shigusa | 水のゆびしぐさ
🔗 Original article in Japanese | 水のゆびしぐさ
📌 Framing information:
Mizu = Water
Yubi = Finger
Shigusa = Gesture
Two gestures below:
-
Stopping overwhelming flow
-
Absorbing energy
The path of HONPOU is to, infinitely expand the spark of the goddess (MEGAMI) received in the UTSUWA like a wildfire.
Just like the name the MIKO chose for herself, the fire expands, transforms, and burns.
Along the way, there may come a time when a quiet rejection is necessary.
This finger (YUBI) gesture is used at such times.
奔放の行は、うつわに受けた女神の火種を野生の火として限りなく拡張することにある。
自身でつけた巫女名の通りに、火は拡大し、変容し、ねられてゆく。
その過程で、時として静かな拒絶を必要とするときが訪れるかもしれない。
このゆびしぐさはそのような時に使うものである。
Press your thumb (土Earth) firmly into the base of your ring finger (水Water).
水の行を司る薬指の根元を、土を司る親指でぐっと押し込む。
Water holds the action of MUSUBI whose flow the self has become immersed and drawn into;
Pressing the thumb (earth) conjures the image of using sandbags as a dam.
Once you are pressing your ring finger firmly, make a fist over your thumb and clench it.
Maintain that state for a while.
This can be useful on a crowded train, in a place with a lot of people, or when you encounter a place or person who doesn't seem to have a good sign, so please try using it every time you have a chance.
水がむすびの作用をもって自身の中へと流れ込むのを、土嚢で堰き止めるようなイメージをもつ。
しっかりと抑えたら、そのまま拳を作り握り込む。
その状態をしばらく保つ。
これは満員電車や人の多い場所、あまり良い気配のない土地や人に出会った時などにも便利に使えるので、ことあるごとに使ってみて欲しい。
On the other hand, if there is something or a place that you want to deeply absorb, relate to, or feel, gently clench your right hand so that your ring finger (水water) is pressed against your little finger (金metal).
Touch the object or place with your water finger and gently rotate it counterclockwise about three times. Relax your whole body as much as possible, open yourself to delicate sensations, blend and align yourself with them as you breathe.
Water is MUSUBI and also has the function of connecting or melting together.
また逆に、自身に深く取り込みたい、深く関わりたい、感じたい物や場所のある場合は、右手を柔らかくにぎり、水の薬指に金の小指を添わせた形にする。
水の指でその物や場所に触れ、かすかに左回りに三度ほど揺する。限りなく全身の力を抜き、繊細な感覚に開きながら呼吸と共に自身とそれを溶け合わせる。
水はむすび、溶け合わせる働きをもつ。
