Cleansing ritual/ purification practice at the beginning and end of the day puts one in a proper mindset.
There exist a belief that metaphorical “deities” reside within our minds, bodies, and external environment. The key to dispelling these “deities” lies in ritually clearing and cleansing distractions, dirt, and debris from our minds, bodies, and environment before they intoxicate us. By doing so, we create a point of departure to begin and end our days.

The question remains: how can we metaphorically cleanse the “deities” from our minds, bodies, and environment? The answer lies in simple, consistent practices such as bathing our bodies, meditating for our minds, and cleaning our external spaces through sweeping, washing, and organizing.
