Re: Shinto Clapping in Aikido

[quote=Cliff Judge;344142]Being in a room where everybody is together, but each doing their own thing and choosing their experience is the default, and Aikido provides a safe alternative where you get your full integrity back when you clap out. [quote]

I don't think aikido is the only place in my life described by that first clause.
I'm still not getting the link between the clap per se and either group cohesion or my integrity.
However, I'm happy that you are thinking about the essence of what the clap means to YOU.
