However, current Shrine Shinto (Shintoism based on government-organized shrines) uses the terms "mitamashiro" (an object that is honored in place of a person's soul or a deity's sprit) and "kannagi" (a female spiritual medium), which are basically the same as yorishiro but are more restrictive because not all objects from the natural world are considered to be shintai or an objects where gods reside.
ただし、現在の神社神道では、御霊代・巫（かんなぎ）という表現があり、いわゆる依り代のことであるが、森羅万象を必ずしも、神の神体や神の宿るものとして考えていないため、限定的である。
