A Brief History of Scrying

Overview

Takigyo（滝行）, is the Japanese way of meditation under small water fall. It is a part of practices for Japanese marital arts groups and some religions such as Vajrayana, Shugendo and Shinto.

Under the strong water pressure, it will make you concentrate in your meditation and you will be facing to the wild nature. It is also said as a good massage method from its water pressure and coldness to the muscle.
