 Introduction

The human body, despite the fact that we use it every day of our
lives from birth to death, is still the center of many profound
mysteries. The mysteries of the heart and mind (which seem to
defy the ability of science to dissect and understand) are even
greater. By comparison, the mysteries of the Spirit are beyond
the reaches of our imagination. For this reason, we begin our spir-
itual work with the study and practices that use the human body
as a tool. Through our personal research, we will find many spiri-
tual secrets are hidden in the workings of our physical and tangi-
ble experience.

We could write an entire book for each chapter we have written

here. However, we wish to concentrate on the practical aspects of
each of the techniques we will be showing you. Thus, we will
summarize a great deal of information in but a few lines. There
are also a few technical words that you may want to understand
before you start learning about this mystical art. These words are
essential to your understanding of the rest of the book, and we
will repeat their names often to make their assimilation easier.
These new terms are in bold below, followed by an explanation of
their meaning and use.

Meridians: There are many circuits of energy in the human body.

Most of them start or end at an extremity such as the fingers or
toes. The Chinese refer to these energy circuits as Meridians. Both
Qi-Gong and Kuji-In employ certain tools to stimulate and direct

-8-
the energy emanating from these energy circuits in order to heal
your body on the energetic and physical levels and to help you
manifest your desires. The techniques you will use to work with
energy include: breathing exercises, visualizations (called
mandalas), chants/prayers (called mantras) and hand positions
(called mudras). Qi-Gong and Kuji-In use these mandalas,
mantras and mudras, along with specific exercises, to help you
connect with your Higher Self. This book also provides the
conceptual context that will make it possible for you to successful-
ly use these techniques.

Mudra: A “mudra” is a hand gesture or a hand position that is

employed to bring into effect the flow of energies that terminate
or start at the fingertips.

Mantra: The energy of the body can also be stimulated through

sound. A “mantra” is a sound, which can take the form of either
a short word or a more complex prayer. A mantra will stimulate
specific energy patterns within and around you.

Mandala: Above all, the symbols and imageries in your mind

affect the flow and the manifestations of the energies you use. A
“mandala” is a symbol or image that is visualized in order to
engage the mind in active participation with an energy work or a
spiritual process.

Mudra, mantra and mandala: these are three simple tools that can
enhance your entire spiritual experience. These tools affect the
energies in your physical and spiritual body. When combined, they
can greatly enhance your personal development. They can

-9-
produce any kind of effect, from accelerating the healing of the
body to aiding you in developing psychic abilities. These tools are
a part of a sacred knowledge called Qi-Gong, which means
“working with energy” or “energy practice”.

There is another art called “Kuji-In” that redefines your vision of

the world around you. Practicing its techniques will slowly reveal
to you a vision of the universe that you could not have
anticipated before you began, because it allows your limited
human mind to expand its vision, to perceive the Source of All.
This spiritual method will surely help you progress on your path
to the realization of your full potential. Here follows a Buddhist
contemplation that I hope will inspire you about the state of mind
that the Kuji-In intends to develop in each practitioner.

Buddha said: “I consider the positions of Kings and Rulers

as that of dust motes. I observe treasures of gold and gems
as so many bricks and pebbles. I look upon the finest silken
robes as tattered rags. I see myriad worlds of the universe as
small seeds of fruit, and the greatest lake in India as a drop
of oil on my foot. I perceive the teachings of the world to
be the illusion of magicians. I discern the highest concep-
tion of emancipation as a golden brocade in a dream, and I
view the holy path of the illuminated ones as flowers
appearing in one’s eyes. I see meditation as a pillar of a
mountain, Nirvana as a nightmare of daytime. I look upon
the judgment of right and wrong as the serpentine Dance of
a dragon, and the rise and fall of beliefs as but traces left by
the four seasons.”

Above all, let the knowledge of this book be assimilated through

experience rather than isolated intellectual analysis. Take the time
to contemplate the feeling each technique evokes for you. Pay

- 10 -
attention to your body, your heart and your mind. Eventually, you
will become aware of your Spirit. All of the technical words will
be surrounded by practical instructions, and this will help your
mind make the necessary links. Trust yourself and have a good
learning experience.

 Summarized Theory

The Buddhist, Taoist and Hindu teachings contain the fundamen-

tal wisdom that can be found behind most Oriental practices. All
the teachings of the mantra’s sounds, the mudras gestures and the
mandala’s symbols come from these sources, as well as from the
many applications of meditation those teachings utilize. Chinese
medicine is also a very important source of knowledge for
Qi-Gong practitioners.

The martial arts that were developed by the Shao-Lin monks use
a mystical secret science to control the energy in the body. This
profound science is called Qi-Gong. Qi is energy in its manifested
form, and Gong is the practical method of application. Therefore,
Qi-Gong methods are the means or techniques of controlling the
flow of energy inside your body. After a while, with a lot of prac-
tice, you can also experiment with the manifestation of Qi outside
your body.

The most popular form of Qi-Gong in North America and

Europe is Tai Qi Chuan. The art of Qi-Gong existed long before
the martial artists incorporated it in their fighting styles. Therefore,
there are a lot of Qi-Gong practices that are very easy on the body.
These practices are not linked with any specific fighting
techniques, and it is not necessary to learn to fight to learn these
techniques.

- 12 -
Like many esoteric philosophies, the Buddhists teach that, in order
to attain spiritual illumination, one must undertake the necessary
exercises with a sincere heart. The secrets of healing, the ability
to see beyond ordinary reality, the gift of communication from
mind to mind, these are all aspects of the Buddhist’s magical sys-
tem. Like every group of Alchemists, they also seek to expand
their lifespan beyond the normal period. Yet none of these
abilities will manifest for you unless you begin with the proper
attitude.

The Qi-Gong techniques shown in the first lessons are the basic
methods which will enhance your ability to experience spiritual
energies. After you have achieved the ability to sense energy, we
will concentrate on the practical aspects of the oriental esoteric
science of Kuji-In. We encourage you to learn more about
Chinese Medicine and the channels of energy in the body. It is also
very important for you to choose a meditation technique and to
meditate frequently if you want to benefit from the enormous
potential of the methods explained in this manual. For beginners,
a simple meditation technique is provided in this book. As you
learn more and as you diligently practice what you have learned,
your experiences with Qi-Gong and Kuji-In will improve.

 Oriental Energy Systems: Jin, Qi, Shen

In the last section we explained that energy takes shape in a broad

range of manifestations: light, movement, electricity, life... Thus
we find that energy will manifest in your body in many ways. We
have classified them here as three types of energy: Jin, Qi and
Shen. These are the energies that flow in the physical body accord-
ing to Traditional Chinese Medicine. They take other names in
occidental occult philosophy, and we will speak about these other
terminologies elsewhere.

Jin

The energy that directly influences the physical plane is called Jin.
It is the power that is converted into physical movement; it is heat
energy, and it is the force behind every action. Jin can be convert-
ed from Qi, which is a more subtle energy. Many methods for con-
verting Qi into Jin involve compressing Qi until it is dense enough
to become available on the physical plane, where it can manifest.
Jin can produce heat, it can create more intense electric currents in
our nervous system, it can heal our body more quickly than Qi
alone and it can augment physical strength. Jin is energy acting on
gross matter. It usually flows through the lower abdomen.

You will develop the Jin level of energy through the use of
breathing exercises and Qi-Gong practices. Jin will be used in
many of the physical practices you will be learning in the next
several sections. Jin assists us in developing willpower and
self-confidence. Willpower and self confidence help the Jin to
manifest physically.

- 14 -
Qi

Qi is energy in its ethereal form. It is our life force. It is bioelec-

tricity. It is naturally used by the body for all of our life functions
and it is used by the brain to operate. Qi can move from one place
to another before it is converted to the active form of Jin or to the
elevated form of energy known as Shen. We wish to develop and
accumulate Qi because it is easy to use and because it offers us the
widest range of applications. Breathing techniques enhance
the movement of Qi in the body, as well as our ability to make
effective use of mental imagery.

The more freely Qi can move in and around your body, the health-
ier you will be, and the more clearly you will be able to think.
Qi can be stored inside the body battery for later use (more on this
in other chapters). Qi can move through the body and, with
experience, outside the body. It can be transferred to someone else
for healing purposes, or for the exchange of Qi to another person.
Great Chinese doctors use it in all sorts of medical techniques.
Martial artists use it to augment their power and speed. It is also
spelled Chi in the case of Chi -Gong, or Ki. The Chinese and
Japanese characters are not alphabetical; they are pictograms, so
their spelling in English varies.

- 15 -
Shen

Shen is the spiritual aspect of energy. It is more volatile and hard-

er to feel. It is always present, but the average person won’t even
know it is there. It is the energy used in internal spiritual methods
like prayer and meditation. As we develop Shen, we also develop
our Spirit and elevate our consciousness. Little information about
Shen is available to the average person. In fact, a practitioner only
becomes aware of its existence after extended training.

- 16 -
 Chakras

We will be very brief regarding the definition of the “Chakras”.

The topic of Chakras is a subject too vast to cover in detail in this
book, but we will give you the basic information needed to use the
different techniques shown here.

The Chakras are the main energy centers found in the physical
body. Each Chakra has specific primary functions you will need to
know. These will be described along with the techniques that acti-
vate those functions. There are seven major Chakras.

1- Base Chakra: Located at the base of the spine; extends from the
base of the pelvis at the front of your body, to the coccyx at the
back of your body. The base Chakra thus covers the entire base of
your body.

2- Navel Chakra: Located about one inch below your navel.

3- Solar Plexus Chakra: Located at the solar plexus, right under

your sternum.

4- Heart Chakra: Located directly in the middle of the sternum, in

front of your heart.

5- Throat Chakra: Located in the little indentation of bones at the

base of your throat.

- 17 -
6- Third Eye Chakra: Located between your eyebrows.

7- Crown Chakra: found at the top of your head, with the center
point exactly on top of your head, but spreading down to sur-
round part of your head, around the forehead and the back of the
skull.

Another important Chakra is called the “Jade Gate”, and it is

found at the back of the head, on the pointy bone at the back of
the skull.

Behind the Navel Chakra, in the middle of the body, inside the
lower abdomen, is a place which is called the “Dan-tian” in
Chinese Medicine; we will refer to it in our practices. It is in the
Dan-tian where the energy of the body is gathered and stored for
later use.

It is not necessary to remember all these Chakras right now. We

will give you the information you need about the Chakras through-
out the book.

 Techniques

As you start training, we encourage you to eat well and exercises

regularly to keep your body in good health. Some of the
techniques you will be learning are more demanding than others.
Respect your limits, while always trying to go beyond them safely.
Since some of these techniques might raise your body temperature
aggressively, we encourage you to drink a lot of water.

It is good to experiment with all of the techniques at least once,

until you discover which ones you prefer. Once you decide what
works best for you, feel free to spend more time on the practices
you prefer. Follow you heart and do not doubt yourself. You
should use at least one physical practice, one heart practice, one
practice for the mind and one for the Spirit. The first subtle results
will come quickly, then a longer period of time might pass before
you see any tangible results. During this plateau period, your body
will be accumulating and increasing your energy level. Do not
begin your training by focusing on the end-results you may even-
tually attain; instead, enjoy the immediate benefits that these exer-
cises provide. Before all else, seek Love. The power associated
with these practices will come by itself. If you seek power, it will
take much more time for the effects to manifest, and they will not
be as impressive.

 The Physical Body

Breathing

Normal and Reversed Breathing

Normal Breathing:

Normal Breathing is very different from the automatic breathing

cycle that keeps you alive when you are not thinking about breath-
ing. The reason is simple: no one really breathes correctly without
thinking about it. Most people take in only 11 ml of oxygen per
minute, far below the minimum oxygen your body needs to be
healthy. A Normal Breath is a healthy breath.

An inhalation should fill your lungs almost completely without

straining your abdomen or diaphragm. The breath should natural-
ly fill your abdomen, without raising your upper torso. A deep
breath should not even make your upper ribs move. Place your
hand over your heart, where your ribs connect to your sternum,
between your solar plexus and your throat. Take a deep breath and
feel to see if your ribs are moving. If they do, you are filling your
upper lungs too much, and not enough air is getting to the bottom
of your lungs. Although it is impossible to keep your rib cage
totally immobile (which is not the objective) it should move as lit-
tle as possible without requiring too much effort.

When you exhale, let your abdomen rest until the air doesn’t come
out naturally anymore, and then pull your abdomen in slightly
without force. It won’t completely empty your lungs. If your ribs

- 21 -
are moving inward or downward too much, it means you had to
lift them upward when you inhaled, or that you filled the upper
part of your lungs too much.

Breath in Breath out

Abdomen out Abdomen normal
Upper chest normal Upper chest normal

When you breathe normally, it is your abdomen that pushes out

slightly and pulls in slightly, (as you inhale and exhale). The breath-
ing cycle should not require excessive force, but it should fill your
lungs up to 80% of your maximum capacity. To fill your lungs to
100% of their capacity requires effort, and it is not natural.
Breathing out with force and pulling in your abdomen slightly at
the end of the breath empties your lungs to 10% or 20% of their
capacity. Just as it is not healthy to fill your lungs to 100%, it is not
healthy to empty them completely; to empty your lungs totally
requires the application of more force than to bring them to a
natural state.

- 22 -
To learn this for yourself, try filling your lungs completely (with-
out hurting yourself), while keeping your rib cage as immobile as
possible. Then, hold the air in for 10 seconds and breathe out
completely, holding your breath out for 10 seconds. Let all your
muscles relax and allow your body to breathe without influencing
it, while you think about the difference between these two ways of
breathing. Now, take in a Normal Breath, filling your lungs down
to your abdomen with only a slight effort. Hold the air in for
3 seconds, and then let it out without any other effort than a slight
pulling inward of your abdomen at the end of exhalation.

This is what is meant by a “Normal Breath”. Normal Breathing

will be used in all of the techniques that focus on the elevation of
self, such as meditation, mental and spiritual training. The
Reversed Breath is used in physical development, to open the
channels of energy in your body and to enhance your ability to
manifest your Qi on the physical plane.

Reversed Breathing

To clearly understand the principles of Reversed Breathing, you

must first practice accurate Normal Breathing. It is important to
keep your rib cage almost motionless while doing the Reversed
Breathing. You should also understand the principles of Jin, Qi
and Shen in order for this practice to be effective.

The Reversed Breathing cycle is used to concentrate or compress

your Qi in a way that will make it denser, compressing it, so it can
become available on the physical plane. It is used to produce Jin

- 23 -
from your Qi. When you compact the Qi, you will feel heat. This
is the Jin.

To clarify this for you, forget about the Normal Breathing method
for a moment and let yourself breathe instinctively. Imagine
yourself in a situation where you are very alert, perhaps needing to
defend yourself, thus requiring that you are ready for immediate
action. While closing your fists, take in a quick, deep breath
without thinking. Most people will notice that the abdomen
automatically pulls in when you are breathing in, and it pushes out
slightly when you exhale. Experiment a bit with this breathing.

When in Danger, the body automatically does a Reversed Breath,

getting ready to pour energy into physical action. The quick breath
mentioned above was only meant as an example. For the Reversed
Breath method, the breath should be drawn in as smoothly as the
Normal Breath unless stated otherwise.

Breath in Breath out

Abdomen pulled in Abdomen let out
Upper chest normal Upper chest normal

- 24 -
When we are working with methods that focus on manifesting
physical phenomena, we will be doing Reversed Breathing. The
upper rib cage still doesn’t move, and you should still breathe
slowly and comfortably. As you breathe in, contract your
abdomen, pulling it in slightly. As you breathe out, release your
abdominal muscles completely, pushing out slightly at the end of
the exhalation, without force.

- 25 -
Radial Qi Gathering method

Before you do anything that utilizes Qi, you must have Qi reserves
to work with. Working without reserves of Qi will deplete your
own life force, which should be avoided at all cost. Gathering Qi
is quite simple, and you can do it just about anywhere and anytime
as long as you aren’t doing something that requires concentration.
For example, don’t do this when you’re in a moving car. When you
gather Qi, you and everyone around you will get a little bit more
prone to lose their concentration. For example, everyone could get
sleepy, or hyper, or feel strange sensations in their body, especial-
ly if they are not used to feeling Qi. Moreover, you will need to be
able to use your concentration for the visualizations that are
necessary to successfully gather, store, and move Qi. The energy
that you envision is real and it will follow your concentration. As
you visualize it traveling with your breath down to the area below
your navel, the Qi will be moved to your Dan-tian. When you
visualize compressing it in your Dan-tian, this too will actually
occur. You may use the pictures as a guide, and you will find it
useful to think of the energy you are moving as a white cloud
which flows like a stream wherever you direct it with your mind.

- 26 -
Storing Qi in your Dan-tian

Place you palms on your Dan-tian, which

is just below your navel (fig. 1). Men
should have their left palm inside, touch-
ing their Dan-tian, with their right palm
over their left. Women should have their
right palm inside, with their left palm over
their right. If you are standing, bend your
knees slightly. If you are sitting, try to
keep your spine straight, and do not cross
your legs.

As you inhale, visualize white light

coming from all around you, penetrating
all the pores of your skin, flowing into
Fig.1
your body and filling your inner Dan-tian.
Remember that what you visualize is actually occurring. As you
exhale, all of this white energy is condensed into a concentrated
ball of light in your inner Dan-tian, in the middle of your
body just below the level of your navel. Gather Qi by breathing
normally, deeply, and calmly. Take in Qi from all around you and
concentrate it in your inner Dan-tian.

- 27 -
Active Gathering

Stand up, take a few Normal Breaths and relax. Slightly bend your
knees and begin.

As you breathe in, imagine a white light coming from above you,
which enters through the top of your head rather like a white
wind, descending in a continuous flow to your Dan-tian. Please
refer to fig. 2 below. You may use this figure as guide for your
visualizations. As you breathe out, the energy remains in your
lower abdomen and becomes a ball of light. Take nine relaxed
breaths, absorbing Qi (the white light) from the area above your
head. You may find that you tighten the muscles of your abdomen
and arms when you try this for the first time. That is a normal
reflex. Practice using just your will to draw the energy down, while
keeping your muscles relaxed.

Fig.2

- 28 -
In the next exercise, you will draw energy into both hands, through
the trunk of your body, and down into the Dan tian. You will
inhale, and draw energy in through both hands simultaneously. To
do this, extend your arms out to your sides, with your palms fac-
ing away from you; absorb the energy through the middle of your
palms, drawing the energy through your arms, the trunk of your
body, and down into your Dan-tian. Repeat this sequence, (inhale
and draw the energy down to the Dan-tian) nine times. Relax your
body and make this entire process as effortless as possible.

Next you will repeat this process with both of your feet, drawing
the wind-like energy up into the soles of your feet, and up

Fig.3

- 29 -
through your legs, directing the flow to your Dan-tian. When you
have the energy centered in your Dan-tian, visualize the white
energy ball growing stronger and stronger with each of the nine
breaths.

Once you’ve taken nine breaths, while drawing the energy into
your Dan-tian through each of the 5 centers, (filling your
abdomen from the area above your head, and from both of your
hands and feet), you will proceed to draw energy through all 5
centers at the same time, using all five entry points simultaneous-
ly, and filling your Dan-tian with nine breaths of energy. (fig. 3)

Finish this exercise by placing your palms over your Dan-tian and
taking a few Normal Breaths. This will help to store the energy
you have gathered.

- 30 -
Feeling the Flow of Qi

While your body is taking in oxygen and circulating it, it is also

naturally circulating bioelectric energy. This energy is used to
manage bodily functions and to sustain life. The calmer and more
smoothly this energy flows, the healthier we are and the more
clearly we think. Our emotions are influenced by this bioelectric
energy flow as well as by our hormones.

In the same way that we have learned to draw energy into the
Dan-tian by concentrating on our breathing and visualizing the
bioelectric energy as it follows our breath into our Solar Plexus, we
can also concentrate on our breathing and direct the bioelectricity
in other ways. For example, we can make this energy flow through
our body simply by desiring it to do so. When we wish to lift an
arm, we don’t need to know how the blood flows in the veins and
how the neural energy stimulates the ADP of the muscle fibers to
make them contract… all we need to do is “will it” and the arm
lifts. A baby can lift its arm as well as a scientist. It only has to desire
to do so.

In order to cause this to occur according to your desires, you

simply need to imagine where the energy is and where you want it
to go, and the Qi will behave accordingly, following the motion of
your mental image. With time and practice, you will be able to feel
this movement of Qi as if it was a wind flowing through your body.
Some people describe this as a feeling that water is flowing from
the source of the Qi to wherever they direct it. The traditional
name for the art of causing this energy to flow in accordance with
your desires is Qi-Gong, meaning “the practice of Qi.”

- 31 -
Breathing will enhance the movement of Qi. Visualization alone
will also cause Qi to flow, but not enough to make your practice
truly efficient. In order for this practice to be truly effective, you
must breathe properly, mentally visualizing the flow, then you must
desire that the bioelectric energy move to the specified location.
This is similar to wanting to move your arm; you desire it and it
occurs, even though the rest of your body remains motionless. It
is an isolated action, affecting only that part of you that you desire
to move. Breathing normally is essential to the development of
your energy channels and to the use of Qi in its many applications.
When you breathe in, you are drawing energy into you, and when
you breathe out, that energy will flow to wherever you direct it.
Clear visualizations, proper breathing and the proper use of desire
are crucial to effective movement of the Qi.

It is important that you follow the basic training process outlined

here so you can correctly train your mind to visualize the good
energy moving according to your desires. We strongly recommend
that you never imagine any chaotic or disordered energy moving
through your body, because it might disturb your regular bodily
functions.

A step by step approach is necessary to develop your mental

ability to control Qi in your body. As you acquire the necessary
knowledge and experience in the art of directing this energy flow,
you will be able to feel the effect of your training and understand
the different applications of Qi-Gong more quickly and more
completely.

Technique for Learning to Sense Qi:

Once you’ve practiced the Gathering Qi method, your body has a

little more Qi than it normally does, and this makes it easier for
you to feel the Qi. Never do any Qi exercises without filling your-
self up with Qi beforehand, otherwise you could use up your basic
life-force or Bioelectric reserves and this can lead to undesirable
side-effects, such as fatigue or illness.

Take a few natural breaths. Put your right palm over your left arm
without touching it, maintaining at least a distance of one inch.
You will now use the Reversed Breathing technique. As you
breathe in and contract your abdomen a bit, fill your right hand
with Qi by imagining that your hand is filled with white
light/wind. As you breathe out, let your abdomen relax, visualize
the Qi emanating from your right hand to the surface of your left
arm. Use your will/desire as well as your imagination to achieve
this effect. Move your right hand over the skin surface as you
begin to notice a light sensation emanating directly from your right
hand.

Qi can trigger sensations of heat, cold, a windy sensation, a tick-

ling, or nothing at all when you are first trying this. After taking a
few breaths, and using your palm to emanate the Qi, try to
emanate Qi by pointing with your fingers. To do this, keep your
right arm straight and point the fingers of your left hand at your
right arm, moving your left hand over the fingers of your right
arm and up to the elbow, then very slowly back and forth while
you continue Reversed Breathing and the visualization. Eventually,
you will feel the Qi flowing.

Small and Grand Circulation

The following is a limited summary of the Small and Grand

Circulation. There is an enormous amount of knowledge available
on this subject, and we recommend that you learn more about it
after you learn these basic practices.

There are two main passageways of Qi, one of which run down
the middle of the front of your body and the other up the middle
of your back. The channel in front is called the “Conception
Vessel”, and the one in the back, along the spine, is called the
“Governing Vessel”.

Small Circulation

We will use the Reversed Breath for this technique, as you visual-
ize white light flowing through your vessels. Figure 4 will help you
understand the trajectory for this visualization. Using the reverse
breathing, you will inhale once while you perform steps #1 to #4,
and then exhale at step 5.

Take a few Normal Breaths and relax.

- 34 -
Begin your inhalation, and visualize
white Qi emanating from your inner
Dan-tian. As you contract your
abdomen, visualize the Qi moving
down into your Conception Vessel
(#1). The Qi keeps flowing gently
down and under your groin as you
contract your sexual organs and your
perineum (#2). The Qi flows back into
the coccyx and up as you contract the
cheeks of your buttocks. (#3) Next
you complete the inhalation as the Qi Fig.4
moves into your spine at the level of
your inner Dan-tian (#4). As you
breathe out, letting go of your
abdomen, the Qi moves back in your
inner Dan-tian (#5).

Start with a few consecutive small circulations and try to feel the
Qi flowing. It is recommended that you do nine complete loops
at a time, and then relax. Perform these exercises slowly and
comfortably.

- 35 -
Grand Circulation

Using figure 5 as your visualization

guide, complete one inhalation while
you perform steps #1 to #5. Exhale
naturally, without visualization.

Take a few Normal Breaths and relax.

As you begin your inhalation, contract

your abdomen, and visualize white Qi
emanating from your inner Dan-tian Fig.5
and moving down into your
Conception Vessel at (#1). The Qi keeps flowing gently down and
under your body as you contract your sexual organs and your
perineum (#2). The Qi flows back into the coccyx and up your
back, as you contract the cheeks of your buttocks (#3). Keeping
your abdomen, perineum, and buttocks contracted, visualize the
Qi flowing up your back to the top of your head at (#4). Finish
your inhalation as the Qi starts moving back down your forehead
and nose (#5). As you breathe out, let go of all contractions,
and the Qi will naturally move back down the front of your
body, through the Conception Vessel, and down to the point
at #1 again.

Perform nine circulations at a time, then relax. Always do these

exercises slowly and comfortably.

Dance of the Dragon

The Qi-Gong Dragon Dance has many positive benefits, from

healing your body, to elevating your energy level. It is a bodily
prayer calling for your Divine Spirit to flow through your body. It
will activate circulation, develop balance, stimulate the endocrine
system, improve your biological defensive mechanisms, provoke
regeneration, and much more.

As a pleasing side effect, it will help your body convert fat into
useful energy. It also elevates your body temperature a bit, further
contributing to weight loss. By twisting your hips and moving your
thighs, you will also reshape your body and develop flexibility.

You might have to read the following paragraphs a few times to

understand the next technique well enough to do it. You will move
your joined hands in a “three circle trajectory” (figure 6), while
balancing your hips in the opposite direction. This will place your
spine in a balancing S shape (figure 7). Follow numbers #1
through #8 along the path and memorize those steps. The circles
cross at your throat, Solar Plexus and perineum, then Solar Plexus
again and throat again, to complete the figure eight.

When your hands are in the middle of your body, your hips are
also in the middle, and you look downward a bit. When your hands
are to your right, your hips are to your left, and you are looking
left. When your hands are to your left, your hips are to your right
and you are looking right. As you crouch down, you will also bend
your legs until you are half crouched, with your hands at number
5 on figure 6’s path. The top circle of the path will be completed
more in front of you than above your head.

The Dance is performed in two steps. The first step is the active
movement of the Dragon, and the second step is a contemplative
series of breaths, without movements. We provide photos below
to help you understand and execute the Dance. Go slowly at first,
getting used to every movement before you do the entire Dance in
a single fluid motion.

Dragon takes about one minute per repetition. Perform the repe-
titions in multiples of three. Doing nine repetitions in the morn-
ing, nine at noon and nine in the evening, will create great changes
in your physical body and your energy vessels.

Once you become used to the movements, combine the breathing

with the Dragon form. In all the movements where you raise you
hands, inhale. As you lower your hands, exhale. The effects of the
Dance will be greatly enhanced.

The Elixir of Life

The theory and practice of the techniques of Life Extension are

quite simple, but it takes a long time to achieve the desired results.
Then again, you have the rest of your life to reach your goals,
so you can enjoy practicing the techniques as you extend your
lifespan.

Breathe in Life in the form of white light, through the middle of

your palms, the middle of the base of your feet, and the top of
your head. Each time you inhale, breathe in Qi through your 5
extremities, directing it towards your abdomen and concentrating
it in your inner Dan-tian. Each time you breathe out, air is exhaled
while all energy remains inside your body, but you should not
really concentrate on this aspect for this technique. Let your exha-
lation remain natural and relaxed.

Once you are able to visualize the Qi becoming concentrated into

a powerful ball (6 inches wide) inside your abdomen, relax, and
visualize the ball becoming increasingly dense. Imagine that it is
increasingly tangible, real. It will be converted into an intense red
pill of bioelectric energy that you can even feel physically, so
concentrated has it become. Continue to build up the red pill of
life in your visualization. As your bodily fluids pass through your
abdomen, the red pill of Life will slowly release its serum into your
bloodstream, which will circulate through your entire body, filling
it with the clear red light of Life. Visualize the red pill of Life
Energy continuing to become a concentrated center of living red
energy in your inner Dan-tian.

- 45 -
This practice is only a part of what can be done to extend your
lifespan. The practice of praying, thanking God, chanting mantras,
or engaging in whatever practices you believe in to show gratitude
and connection to your Creator, will benefit you as well. These
practices will raise your energy level and permit good circulation
of energy in your body. To extend your lifespan, you must also
expand your consciousness. Meditations in which you empty your
mind of everything are highly recommended.

 Of the Heart
The Mantra of Compassion

Before you learn about the doorways of power, you need to

develop the attitude required to access and use any type of spiri-
tual power. The way you see and define your life will also deter-
mine the specific way the powerful energy of your Spirit will man-
ifest through you. Having a negative perception of life will defi-
nitely have equally negative consequences for the way the essence
of the spiritual energies will manifest through you. With proper
training, you can manifest only the joyful and happy events you
desire in your life.

We recommend that you begin your inner spiritual development

by focusing on developing compassion, which is one of the most
powerful sources of energy for the manifestation of the Buddha
in your body and in your daily life.

- 48 -
 Om Mani Padme Hum

The mantra (prayer), Om Mani Padme Hum, said out loud or

silently to oneself, invokes the powerful, benevolent attention and
blessings of Chenrezig, the Buddhist embodiment of compassion.
It is said that viewing the written form of the mantra has potent
effects, acting as a talisman.

It is also said that all the teachings of the Buddha are contained in
this mantra: Om Mani Padme Hum, and that it cannot really be
translated into a simple phrase or sentence.

Chant it as often as you wish, and you will develop compassion

and attract compassion.

- 49 -
 Implication

The concept of evolving quickly and easily is a common topic in

this “New Age”. Many people wish to develop tremendous power
while taking little responsibility for the consequences of their use
of that power. They want to invest very little time and energy,
while reaping huge rewards. It is possible for you to evolve very
quickly, but it is also necessary that you develop personal respon-
sibility before you achieve these gains. This cannot be avoided.

Value and a Fair Exchange

It is important to demonstrate your appreciation of the value in

the sacred knowledge that you will acquire here. You must learn
how to cherish this knowledge and understand that you must not
give it freely to someone who might then destroy or mutilate it.
This occult knowledge is too important to be treated as anything
other than your most precious possession. You must keep it for
yourself, and reveal it only when the seeker before you has shown
signs of understanding and respect. There is a spiritual cost to
revealing occult secrets of great value to someone before they
have shown the mandatory respect. When a monk wanted to learn
something from his Master, he had to work hard all day, and bring
some food with him (to give the Master). Then, the Master would
see that there was a balance in the exchange, and he would reveal
some esoteric knowledge to the seeker. There must not be any
abuse in this exchange. The exchange must be fair and balanced.

- 50 -
You must never destroy your life to acquire occult knowledge, but
you surely will not acquire any knowledge of great value without
some kind of effort and sacrifice.

You will develop great power only when you feel within yourself
that you value and cherish this sacred knowledge, and when you
behave in ways that will protect this knowledge. We call this
attitude the “Sense of the Sacred”. This “Sense of the Sacred” is
a required prerequisite to the achievement of the greatest power
in any occult system.

Time and Willpower

You will not develop any psychic powers by trying a method once
for five minutes. You will not even attain anything by trying some
technique for an hour, and then immediately quitting because of a
lack of results.

To develop great power, you must practice a minimum of five

minutes per day, every day of the week. Once a week, you must
practice for at least one full hour. Do something everyday, even a
simple salutation to your altar, but do it.

To evolve more quickly, you may practice the exercises twenty

minutes each day. All of those who have acted with determination
to make progress on their own spiritual path have achieved some
transformation and elevation from within, with this kind of
consistent effort. If nothing happens inside, you might not be
infusing yourself with a “Sacred” attitude, with respect for the

- 51 -
value of the knowledge you desire. Nonetheless, you should give
yourself time for the results to manifest in you.

Some very uncompromising students, who are very committed to

getting results, have used these techniques for thirty minutes every
day. After only a few months, these devoted students are feeling
intense flows of energy, getting results in their personal life, and
becoming aware of patterns in their behavior they had never
noticed before. In addition to these practices, the most uncompro-
mising students studied esoteric knowledge, kept a sacred attitude,
and took care of their bodies.

Gather your determination, and then do it. If you practice only

five minutes per day, everyday, you will get results.

- 52 -
 Karma and Dharma

We will not write an extensive essay about Karma and Dharma

here, since a lot of documentation is available on these subjects
elsewhere; Instead of a long diatribe, we will summarize the main
concepts and give you a daily exercise to practice for your own
personal growth.

Karma is the result or consequence of your past deeds. You get

from life what you put into it; you reap from the field in the fall
what you sowed as seed in the spring; you receive an eye for an eye.
Every action you take will result in a reaction in the Universe, and
that reaction will eventually rebound back to you (as Karmic jus-
tice). To perceive your life on a spiritual level, you must begin to
understand that any action you take, even those you took in a past
life, will reproduce itself in your life today in the form of a lesson
that may include a bit of suffering. These lessons occur so you
become more conscious of the need for compassion in your rela-
tionships. Karma is therefore a tool to teach you whatever life-les-
sons will most effectively help you evolve. Suffering is not neces-
sary in life, but we must accept it when it occurs because it is
designed to help us evolve. While we must be accepting of what-
ever trials come to us; at the same time we must learn to free our-
selves from negative Karma.

Dharma is also a tool for learning and personal evolution.

Assuming you did not steal, murder or lie in another lifetime, your
Higher Self may still decide to experiment a bit, perhaps in order
to better understand life as a human being. To facilitate that under-
standing, your Higher Self may create trials and events in your life,

- 53 -
so that the desired learning can take place. There is usually less
suffering in the lessons of Dharma than in the lessons of Karma;
sometimes there is no suffering at all.

Even though you are seeking personal evolution, you may have suf-
fered some trial or injustice that seems unbearable to you. When
this is the case you may wish to call upon the Great Justice of the
Universe to manifest itself in your life and the lives of those direct-
ly around you. We are not only talking about invoking simple
human justice here, also we refer to calling on the Divine Justice
that sets experiences in place so that our Karma will be resolved, in
order to free the soul of its burden. If you believe you have suf-
fered injustice at the hands of another, you can call upon the Great
Justice to set things right. Then, the Great Justice will cause the
occurrence of events that will definitely force your aggressor into
a lesson, to help him relieve his soul of its Karmic burden.

On the outside, the “target” will probably seem to suffer, and the
events will appear to lead to the correction of the situation so that
you receive the justice you feel you were denied. It might even ruin
his/her life. In truth, these events are set up in a way that is
designed to relieve both of you of the Karma that probably binds
you together, and this correction might even ruin your own life. If
the (named) aggressor is in the right, and it is you that is in the
wrong, then get ready to experience an unpleasant major lesson,
while the smiling face of your innocent companion mocks you.

High levels of compassion and forgiveness will also transmute

your Karma so it is released without you having to face those
difficult experiences. Developing an attitude of loving compassion

- 54 -
will elevate your Karma until love dissolves your Karma complete-
ly, thereby removing the necessity for unpleasant lessons from
your life. Compassion can prevent painful lessons from occurring;
then again it will also prevent the lesson from being received.
Perhaps, in that event, the lesson was not necessary for you to
evolve, and the events you are experiencing may have just been the
extra weight of your past Karma, from a time when you were less
virtuous than you are now.

The key here is to find a balance between accepting the lessons of

life on the one hand, and forgiving and developing compassion as
a tool to relieve the pain of your existence on the other hand. The
practice of compassion consists of identifying the lessons in your
life by getting a perspective that is external to your normal point
of view; it is as if you were a Spirit flying above your human self.
As you look down on the problems in your life, and the people
you are having trouble dealing with, you must actively work on
forgiving the other parties that you have been angry with, at the
same time seeking understanding of the lesson itself, and its
meaning in your life. Breathe deeply and do not be afraid of
experiencing the emotions from your past. Replay your life in your
mind, and ask your God to guide you through the steps of your
Karmic lessons and your Dharmic path.

In time, you will learn how to call upon the Great Justice to
manifest itself, without negative repercussions, but don’t do this
technique until you are comfortable in your heart, since it will
bring up old memories and it will manifest events that may cause
you to suffer, if you have not first developed enough compassion,
and the ability to see your life from a higher perspective.

 Lessons of the Mind
Meditation

The Green Dragon at the White Gate

This meditation is based on breathing and visualization. You will

breathe deeply and softly. Sit down cross-legged on a pillow (or on
a chair if you can’t cross your legs). Do not rest your back on
anything. Practice using your stomach muscles to hold your spine
straight, without excessive effort. As you begin the deep breathing
and maintain this position, you will also use the Pran Mudra (hand
position), explained in the basic hand mudras section. Please
become familiar with it before beginning this meditation
practice. (Pran is a mudra, Prana is a form of energy.)

Visualize drawing green energy up from the earth. Breathe as you

visualize that emerald green energy rising from the earth, entering
your base Chakra and legs, filling your body completely with green
light, all the way up to your head. Visualize the green light
surrounding you, flooding you from the inside of your body and
extending to the area surrounding you. Visualize this for a few
minutes.

Now, empty your mind. Forget about the green light; just leave the
light to do its work. Begin to visualize drawing white light down
from the Heavens, entering the top of your head until it fills your
entire body. Visualize this for a few minutes.

- 56 -
There is a place called the “door of Prana”, at the bridge of your
nose, between your eyes. It is just inside your nasal area, where you
initially feel air flowing in when you inhale, in the area where your
nose joins your eye bridge. Concentrate on the door of Prana.
Breathe, and feel the air slowly going back and forth in this area of
your nose. See your body filled with white light, and concentrate
continuously on the door of Prana. From this place in your nose
the Prana enters. This is the Universal life force, a form of energy
latent in the air around you. The Prana enters your body as you
inhale, but it doesn’t leave your body when you exhale. Your body
retains this life force and it circulates freely inside of you. When
you exhale, only depleted air is evacuated. Visualize the white light
shining brighter and brighter at the bridge of your nose while the
white light/ Prana / life force is circulating throughout your body.
Continue this technique for five minutes.

Empty your mind, relax, and be at peace.

- 57 -
Prana gives life.

In scientific terms we recognize that Prana is actually the

sub-atomic particles of energy which are freely available in the air
around us. As you fill yourself with this Life Force, you will be
surprised at how much energy and vitality it will bring to you. With
practice, as your body learns to remain calm and relaxed while you
practice, you may extend the period of breathing in the white
light to ten minutes, and then to twenty minutes.

- 58 -
 Hands of God

Basic Hand Mudras

A “mudra” is a hand gesture, just as a “mantra” is a sound and a

“mandala” is an image or thought. A mudra is a particular position
of your hands that connects the energy channels in your fingers in
certain ways, in order to produce a precise and beneficial effect.
When the tips of specific fingers touch, this action activates ener-
gy relays which, in conjunction with the normal flow of energy
through your straightened fingers, produces specific desirable
affects in your physical and energetic bodies.

Some mudras are designed to stimulate their beneficial effects in

your physical body, while others are designed to affect your spiri-
tual bodies. Effects of the physical mudras range from rebuilding
your bones and cartilage, to healing your kidneys, to clearing your
mind, to helping you to get up more quickly in the morning. spir-
itual mudras have a broad range of elevating effects that can
enhance your psychic abilities, help you forgive, reduce anger, raise
your energy level, etc. In fact, there are hundreds of different
mudras. From these you may create all the effects you could pos-
sibly wish for, but it is recommended that you learn them one at a
time.

- 59 -
Pran Mudra

This mudra stimulates the base Chakra, the channels of energies

in the legs, and the minor Chakras in the middle of the feet. This
mudra is called “Mudra of Life”. It elevates the energy level,
reduces fatigue, and clears your eyesight. It will enhance your
determination and self trust. It is also used in conjunction with
treatments for eye disorders.

Straighten your index

and middle fingers; place
your thumb against your
ring and your little
fingers at the tips,
forming a circle. Take
deep, slow, Normal
Breaths. Concentrate on
your base Chakra and the soles of both feet. To begin: After a
minute of breathing normally, begin Reversed Breathing and
continue for several cycles. Breathe in and tighten your abdomen,
sexual organs, perineum and buttocks. Hold your breath in for five
seconds and then release everything, except the mudra. Breathe
normally again and repeat this cycle for five minutes.

- 60 -
Knowledge Mudra

This mudra stimulates the ability to learn and teach. It is the mudra
of knowledge. Using this mudra makes it easier for both sides of
your brain to link new neurons together, (thus forming connec-
tions that are the basis
for inspiration and the
aggregation of new
knowledge). These
neural connections also
enable you to communi-
cate information more
easily, and more effec-
tively. The Knowledge Mudra is also useful for acquiring knowl-
edge from the Heavens, for learning subconsciously, and for
allowing your Higher Self to guide you. You will notice that many
statues of Buddhist Gods are shown using this mudra.

The Knowledge Mudra is performed with your palms pointing

forward and your fingers pointing up. Touch your thumb and
index fingers together at the tips, allowing them to form a gentle
curve. Breathe normally, focusing on the area where your finger-
tips touch. Empty your mind and be at peace.

- 61 -
Healing Mudra

The Healing Mudra is often used by the Buddha called Sange

Menla. Sange Menla brought the science of healing to the
Buddhists. It will help your body create a supportive environment
for healing, so the med-
ical and alternative solu-
tions you employ have a
better chance of work-
ing. It is not meant to be
a replacement for med-
ical solutions, it supports
those therapies.

The hand position for the Healing Mudra is the same as it is for
the Knowledge Mudra, but your fingers must be pointing down-
wards. Sit with your legs crossed, with your left hand resting on the
spot where your legs cross, palms up in front of your Dan-tian,
while your right hand is placed in the shape of the mudra, with
your right wrist resting on your right knee. Breathe deeply and
slowly, and meditate.

- 62 -
Opening Gate Mudra

This mudra is often used in those ceremonies used to open the

Gates of the Temple. It is the mudra that improves listening and
communication. It will treat any throat disorder and this mudra
also helps you develop the ability to communicate at the physical
and spiritual levels.

The top photo shows

how to place your hands
when you do the mudra,
but the lower photo
shows more clearly that
you wrap your left
thumb inside the fingers
of your right hand.
Touch your right thumb
and your left middle
finger, and notice the sea
shell shape. Breathe,
relax, feel the energy
flowing through your
hands and your throat.
Use the mantra “OM”
softly to enhance the
effects of this exercise.

- 63 -
Food, Air and Energy Mudras

The Food, Air and Energy Mudras are utilized to improve the
assimilation of the food and fuels you consume. When the strain
of assimilating the food you eat is markedly reduced, your health
will naturally be enhanced. Moreover, your energy level will soar.
This mudra is designed to help you process food, absorb the nutri-
ents from that food, and then to eliminate the waste products
more efficiently. The Food, Air and Energy Mudras offer all of
these benefits, and they will also help you to resolve digestive
problems.

Assimilation Mudra

With the left hand, link your thumb, middle and ring fingers. This
will link the circulation of energy with the assimilation/elimina-
tion process of all your bodies (physical and spiritual). With your
right hand, link your thumb, index and middle finger, which will
enhance the assimilation
process at all levels.
Breathe for two to five
minutes, keeping your
hands in this position.
Relax and empty your
mind.

- 64 -
Elimination Mudra

Keep your left hand in the same position as the previous mudra,
so you stay in touch with the flow of energy from the assimilation
process just established.

It is only necessary to
change your right hand
position, linking your
thumb, ring and little
fingers, while keeping
the index and middle
finger straight. This
mudra will enhance your
ability to eliminate waste and toxins, help to heal digestive illness-
es, and is especially beneficial for intestinal upsets. Breathe for a
few minutes with your hands in this position. Concentrate on the
flow of the energy, relaxing your mind and body completely.

- 65 -
Elemental Mudras

The Elemental Mudras are a good way to tap into the elemental
forces of which everything in nature is comprised. Each of the
Elemental Mudras encourages your energetic body to channel the
five types of primal energy: Spirit (Void), earth, air, fire and water.
When you channel these elemental forces properly, you can heal
yourself more effectively and you can learn to direct these forces
to manifest your desires. These mudras should be used before any
type of exercise that make use of the primal Elements. They may
also be used alone, for the simple benefits they bring as we recon-
nect to the primary, elemental forces of the universe. .

Each finger of the hand is associated with a specific element.

The thumb is associated with the most abstract element, which is

the Void or Spirit. The Void is not a form of emptiness; rather, it
is an absolutely infinite Primal Element that cannot be defined in
normal human terms. Thus, it is perceived as a Void, from our lim-
ited human perspective. Using the mudra of the Void is a good
way to attain peace of mind and creativity. The Void will connect
you with the spiritual world and bring its light and wisdom into
your life. The Void will also help you attain the state of «no mind»
for which there is no simple explanation: experience must serve as
the teacher in this regard.

The index finger is associated with the Air Element. Air is swift
and conveys knowledge to us in its flowing streams. The Air
Element enhances mental acuity and general intelligence.

- 66 -
The middle finger is associated with the Fire Element. Fire is a
powerful element, which has penetrating and transmuting proper-
ties. The Fire Element enhances power and courage.

The ring finger is associated with the Water Element. Water is

associated with the characteristics of emotion, motion and sensi-
bility. The Water Element also helps us to develop flexibility and
good circulation.

The little finger is associated with the Earth Element. The Earth
Element brings stability and strength. Its nature is to be
grounded, stable, and solidly in contact. Therefore it increases
these characteristics in you.

Each of these mudras naturally uses all of your fingers together.

However, the overall shape of the hand in each of the mudras is
used to emphasize on the element associated with that finger.
These mudras also connect the energy channels (Meridians) in
ways that create the desired effect. Take note that the Chakras do
not necessarily correspond to the associated element in every tech-
nique, but they do in this particular application. The concepts
exposed by this particular exercise should be contemplated during
the practice. Form your hands into the shape of the mudra, and as
you breathe, visualize the colors and focus on the related Chakra.

 Chi – Earth

Place your hands as shown above, with your fingers intertwined

and the tips of your thumbs touching. This represents the low
gravitational center and stability of the Earth Element. The photo
on the left represents the best way to do it, with palms facing
down. The photo on the right is only to show you the proper
finger position, with the thumbs touching.

As you perform this mudra, you may focus on your base Chakra,
which is at the base of your spine. Feel yourself become one with
all things that are solid. Feel yourself become part of the very earth
beneath you. Imagine your body as an almost inflexible rock. Be
aware of your physical body, its solidity and the reality of it.
Visualize the colors brown and aquamarine (pale green) every-
where. Breathe a bit faster than normal. Say the mantra “Chi” a few
times, aloud or mentally. Feel the emotion of enduring stability.

- 68 -
 SUI - Water

Place your hands as above, with all of your fingers hanging down
in front of your belly, representing free flowing water.

Concentrate on your lower abdomen where you might feel the

energy swirling and gurgling like water in your Dan-tian.
Concentrate on your Navel Chakra. Begin to feel yourself flow
with nature. Allow your body to move a bit. Water is the element
of emotion, fluidity and flexibility. Visualize everything bathed in
the color blue. Breathe normally and repeat the mantra “SUI”.

- 69 -
 Ka - Fire

Touch the tips of your middle

fingers together. The thumbs are
pointing up, to represent the
force of Fire rising. Start the
mudra with your hands in front
of your solar plexus and, after a
while, lift your hands up gently
until they are in front of your
Heart area.

You should begin by focusing on your solar plexus, then on your

Heart Chakra. You may feel your body being comfortably con-
sumed in a rising tide of great warmth. Visualize everything
around you in the color of red flames, with streams of green
flowing through them. Focus on being courageous. While your
hands are in front of your solar plexus, breathe a little bit faster
than normal, and say the mantra “Ka”. As you raise your hands in
front of your Heart, slow your breathing down and feel yourself
becoming more internal; softly chant the mantra (Ka).

Being courageous has nothing to do with living without fear;

courage is acting without paying attention to your present fears.

When you are angry, do the Ka mudra to temper your anger and
to develop more compassion. The appeasing energies of this
mudra will help you to moderate your anger and ease your ten-
sions. Hold the mudra longest in front of your Heart.

- 70 -
 Fu - Wind

Hold your index fingers so they touch your thumbs, tip to tip,
forming two small circles. The middle fingers should be touching
and the rest of your fingers should also be extended. Place your
hands (in mudra position) in front of you, anywhere that feels
comfortable. The completed energy circuit is formed with your
arms, with your throat Chakra at the top of the circuit and the
mudra at the bottom of the circuit.

Focus on your throat Chakra. Feel free, subtle and untouchable.

Nothing can stop you, and nothing can disable you. You should
visualize everything around you radiating bright yellow energy,
with purple waves and gentle clouds surrounding you. Let your
mind connect to the source of all knowledge. You won’t really feel
any effect until a sufficient period of training has passed, but you
will train your mind by contemplating these concepts. Allow peace
to flood throughout your entire being. Breathe normally and say
the mantra “Fu”.

- 71 -
 Ku - Void

The left palm is held face up, and the right hand is turned so that
the palm is towards you. Your thumbs should be extended. You
should slide your hands together, so your hands intersect, with two
fingers on either side of the intersection. The photo on the left is
the proper way to do the mudra, with palms facing up and towards
you. The photo on the right shows the hands slightly rotated to
show you how the hands intersect.

The left hand draws energy from above, and the right hand gives
that energy to your body. This mudra allows these energies to
intertwine in a single confluence.

Your focus here should be on your Third Eye and your Crown
Chakra. Visualize yourself at the center of the Void, at its very
center. See yourself in all things, and visualize everything in
existence as part of you. With this thought, everything external
and internal to you is one with you. Breathe as slowly as possible
without straining. Say the mantra “Ku”, once or several times, then
empty your mind. With every inhalation, hold your breath in
for a few seconds, and with every exhalation, hold it out for a few
seconds.

- 72 -
Experiencing the Void is an essential part of the Elemental Mudra
practice. The Void connects the other four elements with the
Universe. Contemplate this truth: “I am everything and nothing.
I am everywhere and nowhere. I am one with the universe. I AM.”

- 73 -
 Kuji Goshin Ho

Whatever the technique, it is always better to receive a sacred

initiation in person from a competent Master, than to simply read
a technique from a book. Nonetheless, in the absence of a
competent Master, a competently written book may offer you the
only resource available for you to receive any kind of initiation
whatsoever. The techniques presented in this book are not the
equivalent (nor can they take the place of) the kind of mastery of
the all-inclusive techniques achievable after years of training with
a Master; However, this book is a very good place to start if you
sincerely desire to climb the staircase that leads to spiritual
discovery. The process of learning these techniques can efficient-
ly help you to start climbing that ladder within only a few weeks
of daily practice, but you should never think you have found the
truth until you reach actual illumination.

If you want to have the best chance at attaining the results you
desire, you must develop an attitude of respect and reverence for
the sacred nature of the Divine world. This reverent attitude
must be your first priority when you begin to study, learn and prac-
tice the techniques of Kuji-In, the first step in learning from this
book. If you want real results from your studies here, you must
begin with the proper context. Arrange your environment so that
it is peaceful. Make sure you will not be interrupted during your
training session for any reason. (For example, unplug your phone,
make sure there are no visitors, and that nothing will interrupt you
in any way) You must assure yourself that your environment is

- 74 -
inviolate. A sacred space requires quiet. You cannot achieve
success when you are harried and your outer world is in chaos.
This is your consecrated Holy place; that place where you connect
with your own Divine Light or Self. Treat it as hallowed ground.
Do not even play music in the background unless it is necessary to
shut out noise from the outside world.

“Kuji Goshin Ho” is the expression we use to refer to the protec-

tive aspects of this sacred practice. In fact, these practices and
techniques are the rungs of the ladder you are climbing. With each
step up the ladder, you will add a level of protection to your daily
life. You do not have to consciously think about achieving these
increasing levels of protection, they will occur automatically as
you perform the energy techniques. As your bodily energetic
systems develop, many events will occur in ways you did not plan,
so powerful are the influences these techniques have on your
immediate environment. The Kuji-In techniques will change your
life. If you practice a lot, the effect will be drastic and could cause
minor, but temporary disease manifestations. Take care of your-
self; you must act responsibly with your newly acquired abilities.

Warning! If you use Kuji-In to harm anyone else, even if they

seem deserving to you, it will not matter what negative emotion is
driving your intention, (anger, hatred, jealousy, avarice…). If you
push forward in your Kuji-In practice, while harboring ANY such
intentions and emotions, the result will be an extremely quick res-
olution of the karmic weight attached to the event in qUestion.
This means that you might turn your own life into a living hell.
These are the inevitable consequences if you pray to God to
punish someone, or to bring money to you without even working

- 75 -
for it, or you pray that someone is manipulated into falling in love
with you. You are totally responsible for the consequences of
everything that you experiment with. You will have all the tools
necessary to make your life into whatever you want it to be. There
is never any need to act from negative or manipulative emotions.
Therefore, in EVERY situation, act with virtue.

Practicing Kuji-In as it is presented here will support and enhance

every other action you take in life. Your psychic powers will
evolve, and you will achieve an expanded perception of the world.
As you practice these techniques, concentrate on doing them for
the joy of learning them, with no other reason than discovering
your true self and elevating your consciousness. Once you have
completed a period of practice, you can use various manifestation
techniques in conjunction with these present techniques with a
drastically enhanced efficiency.

Kuji-In Techniques

Kuji-In is translated from the Japanese as “Nine Syllables”. The

number nine is the number that symbolizes completion in the
Buddhist system. Your hands are your primary tool in these prac-
tices, and each hand mudra is combined with a specific
mantra/sound, mandala/visualization and breathing exercise that
completes the technique. Thus, each set is comprised of a
mudra/mantra/mandala, and will be referred to as a SET for the
remainder of this text. The Kuji-In technique is composed of
nine SETS.

- 76 -
In Kuji-In practice you will be combining these three elements
((movement (mudra)/ sound (mantra)/thought (mandala/mind))
in order to manifest your desires. (Again remember that your goal
for now is to perform the daily practices for the joy of learning
these techniques and for the pleasure of connecting to your
Divine Self). For each SET you will make the hand signs (mudra),
say the single word repeatedly (mantra), and visualize the effect of
the set to the best of your knowledge (mandala/mind). Start with
the first set, (the RIN Mantra), using only that one syllable mantra.
Repeat this mantra in your mind, while you also position your
hands according to the mudra, and focus your mind on the con-
cept associated with the mudra/mantra. Focus without
conscious effort. Let your mind simply settle down until it rests on
that thought. Do not judge yourself harshly if your mind wanders
in every direction; simply come back peacefully to the practice.

Do not move on to the next set until you are comfortable with the
three parts of the first set: get comfortable with using your hands
(mudra), together with the indicated word (mantra) and thought
(mandala). When you master the three parts of a single set, and
you feel that something is starting to happen in the energy planes,
you can move to the next set. Each set may take as little as a day,
or as much as a month of daily practice before you can feel its
effect. Practice periods may vary between five minutes and an
hour every day. If you don’t feel anything after a few days of prac-
tice, move on to the next set. Eventually, you will feel the energies
actively working on your body.

When you reach the ninth set, you will start learning more
complex mantras; these are complete prayers. At this juncture it is

- 77 -
best that you begin with the first set again and re-climb the ladder.
This will greatly enhance the efficiency of your Kuji-In practices,
and the Divine Forces will be more present to work with you
during your practices. This form of mantra is a prayer, thus it is
uttered repeatedly with faith. Say it just as you would speak any
normal phrase that deserves to be spoken with
reverence. It is to your True Self that you are praying.

Before you begin each practice period, start with a few minutes of
the general breathing exercise. Then, for each practice period, start
with the first set (RIN), and continue with each set in sequence for
one full minute, followed by the next set (for one minute) ,
one after the other, until you reach the set that you are currently
learning/working on. You may practice the set you are currently
working on for as long as you wish.

Once you have gone through the process of learning the entire
Kuji-In system, a normal practice period can be accomplished
over thirty minutes as follows: One minute of breathing, three
minutes per set (total twenty-seven minutes), and two minutes of
silent contemplation. You may then meditate for another half
hour to elevate your consciousness.

In the following presentation, the first photo demonstrates the

best way to do each exercise and the second photo shows you the
proper finger placement for that exercise. The instructions for
each mudra are followed by the Chakra associated with that Kuji,
the mantra prayer to be spoken with it, and the concepts and ben-
efits associated with practicing the Kuji. Take note that the word
“On” (from the Japanese) is like the “Om” in Sanskrit, but the

- 78 -
“On” involves a projection of the mantra, while the “Om” is more
contemplative and internal. A “Kanji” may be also added to your
visualization. A Kanji is a Japanese symbol representing one letter
of a word. Next to the picture of the mudra, you will see a small
square. The Kanji for this Kuji-In is the small letter at the center
of the square. You may add the Kanji to your visualization.

Here is a list of the 9 Kuji-In sets with their japanese titles, asso-
ciating each with their popular benefits.

1- RIN – Reinforces the positive aspects of the physical,

mental and energetic planes.
2- KYO – Increases the healthy flow of energy, mastery
of energy.
3- TOH – Enhances your positive relationship with the
universe, resulting in improved harmony and balance.
4- SHA – Develops enhanced healing, regeneration.
5- KAI– Develops foreknowledge, premonition, intuition,
feeling.
6- JIN – Increases telepathic ability, communication,
knowledgeability.
7- RETSU – Enhances your perception and mastery
of space-time dimensions.
8- ZAI – Fosters a relationship with the Elements
of creation.
9- ZEN – Results in Enlightenment, completeness,
suggestive invisibility.

 Tools and application

Although the only apparent features would be the commonly seat-

ed posture holding some kind of hand position, this Nine Hand
Seals method actually combines five main tools:

- a hand position, called "mudra" in sanskrit

- a spoken expression, called "mantra" in sanskrit
- a focus point in the body, called "chakra" in sanskrit
- a mental visualization, called "mandala" in sanskrit
- a philosophical concept to ponder

All or a few of these tools are used while breathing in a relaxed

posture. The beauty of this technique is that it can be done by
combining only two of the five tools, helping in the assimilation
of the technique, yet it reaches its full potential when all the tools
are applied at once. This way, it becomes much easier to assimilate
each step one by one.

When to Use
The techniques can be used from a few minutes to a full hour each
day. It works great right before you go to bed. In time, the prac-
tice of the technique will automatically put you in a state of relax-
ation and inner awareness, most of the time at the cost of a less-
er awareness of the surroundings. It is the goal to attain. You will
naturally generate your own mental cocoon when you practice,
thus it becomes necessary to warn you of an important side effect.
If you start doing even a part of the technique while you are driv-
ing your car, or doing something that requires your attention, you
might get into this isolated mental state for a moment, putting

- 80 -
yourself and other people at risk. It is often stronger than your
own will to drive carefully. Practicing this technique will put you in
a state of inner awareness. You would not like to use this wonder-
ful technique to lose your concentration when it is the most criti-
cal. So, we recommend you practice the Nine Hand Seals tech-
niques in a suitable place for it, when your concentration is not
required to keep you and other people safe.

Since this technique focuses your attention within yourself, it is

not a technique to use while you are actually training or perform-
ing some other activity that requires your attention. Even if the
techniques will give out great benefits by themselves, the Nine
Hand Seals assists your development by making your potential
fully available when you need it in your other training processes. In
this sense, an athlete must not use the Nine Hand Seals or its com-
ponent tools while he is doing his actual routine, but before it, or
use the mental focus tools when simply training in the gym. In the
same manner, a musician will only disturb his concentration if he
tries to hold the mental concepts in mind while also trying to play
with efficiency, but having practiced the Nine Hands Seals before,
more neural connections will be available for him to benefit from
his practice.

For example, the first technique is used to develop both physical

strength and self-confidence. Those who practices enough of the
first technique will have quicker results when bodybuilding, and
faster recovery periods between each training. A businessman who
takes the time to use the full technique 15 minutes each day for a
week will feel much more comfortable afterwards, when doing his
presentations or holding negotiations.

- 81 -
Mudras
The body is filled with nerves that carry electricity, but it also has
a more subtle circuitry, known as meridians. These meridians are
commonly used in traditional Chinese medicine in the application
of acupuncture. They are also the base of many massage tech-
niques, since they have many beneficial influences on the body and
the mind. Their use normally induces a state of relaxation, mak-
ing the body prone to recovery.

The hand positions, or mudras, that we will use crosses and

extends the fingers in ways to benefit from these meridians. Even
though the meridians travel through the whole of the body, most
of them start and end at the fingertips, thus, the hand positions
and finger puzzles. When you breathe while concentrating on
focus points or acupressure points, it will work on these points in
the same way a needle or massage would.

In ancient India, the Hindu people tried out every type of: body
positions, meditations, endless recitation of prayers, difficult fast-
ing, applying many trials on their minds and bodies, in a quest for
the ultimate yoga of self-development. One of the legacies of
these experiments was the use of mudras that worked on the body
and the mind in manners similar to what yoga would do. Yet, these
hand positions are much simpler to apply than holding full body
postures. These hand positions traveled to China and Japan along
with the propagation of philosophy and meditation techniques.

- 82 -
Mantras
The spoken expressions we will use always represent a reference
to the philosophy that we keep in mind, yet it is spoken to accel-
erate the effect of the technique. It is known in auto-suggestions
and neural programming that even though we keep a thought in
mind, the concept integrates the mental process much faster if it
is spoken aloud, since it uses more parts of the brain to speak than
if the concept is only mentally contemplated. The words can be
spoken in any language, since the important thing is to involve the
brain in physical speech. While many practitioners of Japan's kuji-
in appreciate speaking the Japanese kanji pronounciation, some
healers and spiritualists prefer the sanskrit mantra, while some
people also like to speak them in common language. Here, we will
give the Japanese Kanji pronounciation (jp) and the Sanskrit pro-
nounciation (sk.) for each of the nine steps.

The concrete affirmations of philosophical expressions are a key

component for mental training, as it reinforces the concepts they
represent in our mind. While repeatedly reciting a few words that
hold a certain meaning, the speech interacts with subconscious
parts of our mind to make new connections and render the con-
cept more accessible to our awareness, in our conscious mind.
Although the spoken expressions used in our techniques might
seem to differ a bit from the philosophical concept held in mind,
their efficiency is used to its fullest since they work in combination
with the mental concept. This entire aspect will become much
simpler when you are finished learning the first technique.

- 83 -
Mandala
Visualization is an image that we imagine in our mind. Mental
visualization is there to help us keep our attention on the tech-
nique, hoping to prevent the mind to wander too far astray. Yet, if
you start to think about random subjects, do not put pressure on
yourself to come back to the visualization, but try to come back
in a peaceful and relaxed attitude, calmly resetting the imagery in
your mind.

The image kept in mind will assist in placing our attention on the
focus point, but it will also use colours in ways known as chro-
motherapy (colour therapy), combining the psychological effect of
the colour to enhance the efficiency of our practice period. Of
course, the visualization itself will have a subtle reference to the
philosophical concept held in mind. These visualisations are sug-
gestions, and will vary from one tradition to another. We will even
give out different visualisations in future books.

Chakras
When we pay attention to a place in our body for a long enough
period of time, the focus point will become relaxed and our aware-
ness of this place will be enhanced. Paying attention to a part of
our body will accelerate its healing or regeneration, since our men-
tal attention does lend more neural electricity to the area of atten-
tion. This available extra energy is always used in the best possible
way by the body. For example, people who use pain killers heal
slower than those who do not, since feeling pain continually
attracts our attention to the hindered area. While the time differ-
ence is not miraculous, it is notable. Each of our nine techniques
requires us to focus on a specific point in the body, not to heal it

- 84 -
but to enhance it. These focus points, specific to each of the nine
techniques, are simultaneously a part of the meridians system,
nervous system, and endocrine system, associated with an acu-
pressure point, a main nervous centre and a gland.

When focusing on a point in your body, it should be done in a

relaxed attitude. It is not necessary to concentrate with force.
Simply pay attention to the focus point and try to feel it. It might
take quite a while before you feel any particular sensation at this
focus point, and it is not required. The moment you pay attention
to a specific place on your body, the technique will be enhanced.

- 85 -
 1- RIN

Extend your two middle fingers and interlace all

other fingers.

Chakra: Base
Mantra jp: On baï shi ra man ta ya sowaka
Mantra sk: Om vajramanataya swaha

The RIN set is used to strengthen your mind and body. This Kuji-
in set must be performed before any other Kuji-in sets can truly
be effective. The RIN Kuji acts as a sort of hook-up to the
Ultimate Source of all Power. By connecting you with this Divine
energy, the RIN Kuji strengthens your mind and body, especially
in collaboration with the other practices of the Kuji-In. A stronger
connection to the Divine energy source will make you stronger at
every level. Please be aware that this set may elevate your body
temperature.

- 86 -
 2- KYO

Extend your index fingers and bend your middle

fingers over your index fingers so that the tip of
your thumbs are touching. Interlace all your other
fingers.

Chakra: Hara/Navel
Mantra jp: On isha na ya in ta ra ya sowaka
Mantra sk: Om ishaanayaa yantrayaa swaha

KYO activates the flow of energy within your body and outside of
you, in your environment. This Kuji will help you learn to direct
energy throughout your body, and eventually outside your body, so
you can manifest your desires in the objective world. Although
willpower directs energy, you must not push too hard with your
willpower. Willpower that is used to direct energy should be rather
like “wanting something a lot” but not like “getting a stranglehold
on something, or pushing with a crippling force”. Even when you
apply your willpower to attain something you desire, you must
always be at peace and relaxed.

- 87 -
 3- TOH

Point your thumbs and the last two fingers of both

hands while keeping your index and middle fingers
interlaced inside your hands.

Chakra: Dan-tian, between the Hara and the Solar Plexus

Mantra jp: On je te ra shi ita ra ji ba ra ta no-o sowaka
Mantra sk: Om jitraashi yatra jivaratna swaha

By practicing TOH, you will develop your relationship with your

immediate environment, and eventually with the entire universe.
As you practice, begin by filling yourself with energy and then
surround yourself with this energy. (This is accomplished by
visualizing that it is so). This is the Kuji of harmony. It teaches you
to accept the outside events of life while remaining at peace inside.
Always breathe deeply inside your abdomen, naturally, without
strain.

- 88 -
 4- SHA

Extend your thumbs, index fingers and both little

fingers. Interlace your middle and fourth finger
inside your hands.

Chakra: Solar Plexus

Mantra jp: On ha ya baï shi ra man ta ya sowaka
Mantra sk: Om haya vajramaantayaa swaha

With this Kuji, the healing ability of your body is increased. As

you practice this set, your body will become more efficient in its
daily rebuilding, healing and reconstruction. This increased healing
efficiency is the result of the higher levels of energy
passing through your energy channels (Meridians) and your solar
plexus. This healing vibration will eventually radiate around you,
causing other people to heal as you spend time with them.

- 89 -
 5- KAI

Interlace all of your fingers, with the tip of each fin-

ger pressing into the root of the facing finger.

Chakra: Heart
Mantra jp: On no-o ma ku san man da ba sa ra dan kan
Mantra sk: Om namah samanta vajranam ham

This Kuji will raise your awareness and help you to develop your
intuition. The mudra is called “The outer bonds”. The outer
bonds are the energy currents that precede every event, if only for
an instant. They are the specific influence from the outside world
that produces every one of your experiences.

Intuition is a powerful ally; it is the way you perceive what your

senses register from your contact with the environment, and from
the people surrounding you. This set will increase your intuition
and will help you to learn to love yourself and others.

- 90 -
 6- JIN

Interlace all your fingers, with your fingertips inside,

each of them touching the equivalent tip of the
other hand’s finger, if possible.

Chakra: Throat
Mantra jp: On aga na ya in ma ya sowaka
Mantra sk: Om agnayaa yanmayaa swaha

The “inner bonds” are the energy currents inside you that connect
you with your True Self. We have the ability to know what others
are thinking. By reaching deep inside you, into the place with no
words, you may get in contact with this same place in others.
When you make this connection you may hear the other person’s
thoughts without words, or you may learn to communicate by
thought concepts; this is commonly called telepathy.

This mudra is used to open your mind to the thoughts that others
project from their mental activity. It can help you gain an under-
standing of why people do the things they do. If you want to
develop compassion you can use this mudra to enhance your
empathy for others. If you don’t judge what you perceive, you will
perceive it with more clarity.
- 91 -
 7- RETSU

Point your left index finger up. Wrap the fingers of

your right hand around your left index finger. Place
the tips of your right thumb and index finger in
contact with the tip of your left index finger. The
fingers of your left hand are gathered into a fist.

Chakra: Jade Gate, at the back of the head

Mantra jp: On hi ro ta ki sha no ga ji ba tai sowaka
Mantra sk: Om jyotihi chandoga jiva tay swaha

After practicing the Kuji-In exercises for some time, they will alter
your perception of gross matter so you will be able to perceive the
different flows of energy composing our space-time multi-
dimensional universe. Per the theory of relativity, as mass
accelerates, time slows, thus if your energy is flowing, and you
apply your willpower, your mass accelerates, time slows for you
and you can simply change (or direct) the flow/ or motion of your
body through space.

- 92 -
Now, put all this theory aside for a moment and let your mind
adapt to this new perception of the Universe. Imagine that the
atoms of the universe are composed of energy waves instead of
rigid, inflexible solid matter; feel the flexibility of the structure of
these energy waves. Understand that these energy waves build
your body. You are being continuously re-created!

- 93 -
 8- ZAI

Touch the tips of your thumbs and index fingers

to form a triangle, while your other fingers are
spread out.

Chakra: Third Eye

Mantra jp: On Chi ri Chi i ba ro ta ya sowaka
Mantra sk: Om srija iva rtaya swaha

srija : sh-ree-j with an almost mute “ee” after the R

Rtaya: Rutaya with an almost mute “u” after the R

By practicing with this set, you will establish a relationship with the
Universal components of creation: the elements. These elements
are not only physical, they are also spiritual. This Kuji practice is a
basis for the power of manifestation. Visualize being in harmony
with nature. Visualize the flow of Qi from nature to you, and from
you to nature. After a while, notice your increasing awareness that
nature is alive, and that you can communicate with it. Nature will
interact with you within the limits of natural law. Eventually, as
you improve your sensitivity to nature, you might develop the abil-
ity to call forth an elemental manifestation, when mastered.

- 94 -
 9- ZEN

Rest your left knuckles on the fingers of your right

hand, with your right palm open. Touch the tips of
your two thumbs gently.

Chakra: Crown
Mantra jp: On a ra ba sha no-o sowaka
Mantra sk: Om ah ra pa cha na dhi

Illumination is the highest state of mind. Illumination is a kind of

Completeness, accomplished by Meditation. By using this practice,
you can eventually disappear from the common mind. You are still
there, of course, but others in the common mind cannot register
your presence, because your vibration is higher than what their
minds can recognize or interpret as real. To practice, imagine
simple emptiness, calm white light everywhere; Then visualize
melding with the white light. It is believed that to the average
person you might become invisible.

Many hours of practice are required to elevate your vibration level

enough to manifest the side-effects, like suggestive invisibility.

- 95 -
Notes on making progress:

To make progress with kuji-in, it is a good idea to have a

meditation period after every complete practice period. When you
“come back” from your meditation, smile and drink a glass of
water. Do not neglect the smile, whether you feel like it or not.
Breathe deeply and relax.

- 96 -
- 97 -
 Kuji-In Additional Information

Each Kuji is dependent on the Kuji before it. For example, before
you practice the fourth Kuji to enhance your healing abilities, you
must do the third Kuji to produce harmony and circulation in your
intestines and bowels. Before you practice the third Kuji, you must
perform the second Kuji, in order to let energy circulate through-
out your body. The second Kuji will open the energetic doors
between your neural system and your energetic system on the
ethereal plane. Before you practice the second Kuji, you must do
the first Kuji to get the raw power to work with, from your base
Chakra. This is why all the Kuji practices must be done in the
proper order, one after the other. It is also the main reason that
trying to advance too quickly in your practices will not produce as
much results. If you imagine a long succession of plumbing pipes
in series, leading finally to a pond, you can understand that, if you
want the water to flow all the way to the pond, the valves must be
open at every joint. Any restriction, (any valve that isn’t open) will
restrain the flow of water from reaching the next section; ulti-
mately, if the valves aren’t opened in the proper order, your pond
will remain empty. The same thing is true of the flow of the Zen.
The Zen energy is the water in this analogy. You must open each
valve (with the correct practice) in the proper succession so that
the Zen energy flows to the ultimate destination.

This list will give you an idea of the proper and necessary step-by-
step process to attain a successful kuji-in experience :

1- RIN accesses power, energy, and awakens your flame.

2- KYO circulates the energy in your body, allowing it
to flow in and out.
3- TOH gathers energy in your battery (bowels) and
circulates it.
4- SHA distributes the energy into the necessary parts
of your body, producing healing.
5- KAI allows you to Feel Everything.
6- JIN allows you to Know Everything.
7- RESTU allows you to Be Aware of Everything.
8- ZAI is a process where you become aware that everything
is energy manifested.
9- ZEN connects you with the I AM.

The following visualizations are helpful variations of the Kuji-In

that will make it easier for you to understand more about the
functions and manifestations you will become capable of after
working with these practices. Perform the complete Kuji-In prac-
tice, repeating the full prayer as a mantra, gently focusing on the
corresponding Chakra, while keeping the goal of the Kuji held in
your attention, then add the following visualization to your
practice. It might seem demanding at first, but please try to
simultaneously keep in mind as many aspects of the exercise
as possible.

 Complete Kuji-In Ritual Practices

First Kuji (RIN): Visualize a red shining light descending from

Heaven into your body, and lighting a flame at your Base Chakra,
the region between your anus and your sexual organs. Relax and
begin the visualization, perform the mudra, chant the prayer
mantra calmly, slowly or quickly, as you wish, (or even at an

accelerating tempo, then come back suddenly to a slower tempo.

The Base Chakra is the point where the Sacred flame emerges into
your energetic body.

Second Kuji (KYO): Pay attention to your Navel Chakra.

Visualize your body filling with red light and the red light circulat-
ing throughout your entire body and around it. Continue paying
attention to your Navel Chakra, never forcing the concentration,
but always gently being aware of it.

Third Kuji (TOH): Pay attention to your Dan-tian, and visualize

your entire bowel region filling with orange and golden light,
which is flowing harmoniously throughout your entire bowel
system healing your body. The TOH Kuji affects the harmony
between you and others in your life; it enhances peace in your
relationships, the joy of associations and communications, and the
harmony available at the emotional level. Do this Kuji to enhance
your relationships with others, as well as to heal your bowels.

- 100 -
Fourth Kuji (SHA): Pay attention to your Solar Plexus. Visualize
it filling with a golden yellow light, pulsating with strength and
peace. This is the Kuji of healing. It triggers the regeneration of
your body, and the healing of every physical aspect of your health.

Fifth Kuji (KAI): Focus on your Heart Chakra while you imagine
a comfortable blue light everywhere; Your heart is glowing with
an intensely calm electric blue, which is so clear and strong that it
radiates beyond your body. You are protected, you have intuition.

Sixth Kuji (JIN): Concentrate on your Throat Chakra, surround-

ing that area with blue light. Visualize a calm blue light emanating
from your throat. Imagine that your body is very big, immense,
much more imposing than your actual physical body. See yourself
as gigantically tall, filled with the blue light which entirely
envelopes you. Remain in this visualization and simply
contemplate that you have access to all the knowledge of the
Universe. Perceive the bonds between you and the rest of the
cosmic reality: bonds of knowledge and awareness.

Seventh Kuji (RETSU): Pay attention to the area at the back of

your head, at the base of your skull. You now become aware that
time has no substance, matter has no substance, all is energy, and
EVERYTHING is timeless eternity. Find your own simple and
abstract visualization.

Eighth Kuji (ZAI): Focus on your Third Eye as you visualize

yourself bathed in violet light. Know that you are the Master of
your personal Universe, and that you are completely aware of your
immediate Universe.

- 101 -
Ninth Kuji (ZEN): Your awareness shifts to and becomes one
with the I AM. You contemplate the truth that: “I am. I am
everything. I am everywhere. I am the Void”. Clear your mind
totally and allow yourself to dissolve into the complete, absolute
“void” of the Spirit. God is beyond human understanding and
perception. Let yourself dissolve into God; empty your mind.

Always meditate for a few minutes after you do a period of

Kuji-In techniques. You must rest your mind. Breathe deeply and
relax. Your energetic system will also need to rest. Stay calm, quiet
and relaxed for a while after each session.

- 102 -
 Kuji-In Philosophy

Kuji-In is a prayer, not a do-it-yourself-kit to attain power. Seek

Love and Compassion; the power will come by itself. Make a place
in your heart for your Spirit to play and attain joy. Make room in
your mind for your Spirit to think and attain peace. The same
applies to your body, since it is your Inner Temple, that place
where God resides in you. Your Inner Temple is also the main site
where the manifestations resulting from your practice will take
place.

- 103 -
 RIN

It may be hard for you to believe, but the Universal Fire is situat-
ed at the base of your own experience: the base Chakra at the tip
of your spine. You are all that there is; you simply don’t clearly
understand what that means yet. On this path you will learn that,
as the Sacred Flame grows brighter in you, it actually rises up your
spine until it fills your entire body.

Breathe deeply and softly. Every inhalation nourishes the flame at

your Base Chakra, encouraging it to fill you with Sacred Fire.
Visualize the flame increasing in intensity, giving life to your entire
body. As you are increasingly filled with this Sacred Fire, all the
energy circuitry in your body will repair itself, becoming healthier
and more alive as it receives the flow of the Universal Root ener-
gy: The Sacred Fire. This is your connection to All That IS.

Each time you make a decision, you will notice that some of your
muscles tighten with fear. Muscles tighten when you have to make
a decision because of the inherent biological fear that the human
animal body holds. The objective of this exercise is to become
conscious of the fearful nature of the human, animal part of you.
Once you are aware of these fears, release them and trust yourself.
Self-trust is the key to success in everything.

- 104 -
 KYO

What you project towards others, will eventually come back to you
(for good or ill) in full measure. This teaches us to keep a constant
attitude of peace. Smile. Be joyful in your communications and in
your actions. You will develop peace and joy as you accept it in
yourself. You will discover that your experience of your environ-
ment will eventually be modified, slowly but surely by the healthy
energy you nurture and project outwards. The Flame of Life will
destroy your old behaviors as you establish new, healthier ways of
acting and being. The ropes of energy that keep you in bondage
to those old behaviors will come untied and every bond that keeps
you hostage will inevitably be consumed by the Flame of Life .

As you develop this brand new, amplified, energy management

system, you will discover that it is essential to become completely
responsible for yourself. All that you do, all that you say, will find
a way to manifest around you. You will have to learn tolerance and
happiness or you will magnify your negative thoughts and these
will become manifest as your reality. It is absolutely necessary to
stay positive, even in the worst situations. It will be necessary to
learn to feel the normal everyday emotional pains and discomforts
while remaining positive; to experience those periods of depres-
sion we all have and just humbly accept them, without judgment.
Keep the eyes of your Heart fixed on the higher plane of life.
In fact, you will increasingly experience your growing ability to
positively impact the world around you, and to manifest your
desires, by nurturing healthy energy and projecting it into your
environment.

- 105 -
 TOH

Kuji-In must always be performed with an attitude of gratitude

towards the infinite Universe. You must complete each action with
respect. The success of your personal rituals depend on your
ability to remain humble before the All, the Great spiritual Reality.
When you encounter a huge obstacle, like a rock obstructing your
path, instead of spending all of your energies trying to remove the
rock, simply go around it. This way, even if the rock still thinks it
has the power to block your path, you will be back on the road,
moving ahead, keeping all your energy for some more useful pur-
pose. Be humble on your path. You have nothing to prove to any-
one, not even to yourself. Trust yourself, always.

Seek harmony with the Universe around you. When something

occurs that upsets you or thwarts your plans, choose an attitude of
compassion. Do not waste your energy engaging an obstacle in
battle. With a strong mind, heart and body, you may advance on
the evolutionary path with confidence. Even your muscles will
benefit from this positive mental attitude on the path. The
moment you set your mind on something, the Universal energy
will always be there to assist you.

- 106 -
 SHA

SHA teaches us that unwavering strength is always consistently

available for you. That energy constantly flows into you, igniting
your Sacred Flame, causing it to rise until it reaches your Solar
Plexus, (the energy dispatcher). There is great power in the
Universe, and it is power you can tap into at every moment. Know
that you are powerful. Know also that, to manifest this power in
your life, you must be ready to assume the responsibility for all
your actions.

The most obvious manifestation of your new ability to circulate

powerful energy, will be the complete healing of your body. Qi
and Prana move in your body like rivers of fire and pure light.
There are also other manifestations of this inner resource of
power. Great explosions of energy may occur when you really
need them. Remember that you have an equal ability to hurt and
heal. This is an awesome power. You must be responsible for your
actions. There are severe consequences for any misuse of this
power. In this, the original intention does not matter, only the
result.

- 107 -
 KAI

As you use KAI you will find that this new energy is now circulat-
ing with ease; the flow of energy grows and begins to expand
beyond the illusionary boundaries of your body. It is time to
listen, time to tune in to your inner ear. You will perceive this outer
world through your inner self only if you are available to receive
the information. If you are convinced that you already know the
truth of existence or that you have nothing to learn from others,
you may be building a fence that will eventually prevent you from
seeing what is on the other side. If a fence already exists, allow the
fire of your Spirit to burn it to the ground. Intuition will be your
most powerful guide in this process. It will reveal to you the real
truth about the world that surrounds you, if you stay sensitive and
available to that information.

When you practice KAI you are linked to nature and to the laws
that govern the entire Universe. You are not only in contact with
them, you are linked with every living thing, like the threads of a
tapestry that has been woven together by the Creator of ALL. You
are an active part of the living fabric of the world. If you remain
attentive to your immediate surroundings you will be able to
practice, on a smaller scale, your ability to be in contact with the
larger Universe. There is only one way to efficiently expand your
energetic body beyond your physical boundaries; that way is to
express compassion and love in every circumstance.

- 108 -
 JIN

When you practice the JIN Kuji, you will be able to meet your
Higher Self and make contact with the elevated thoughts of that
more advanced part of you. There is a special part of your think-
ing process, hidden deep inside of you, that does not utilize words
to communicate. In fact it does not speak in any language that
your conscious mind understands. This place of “no words” is the
place where you truly communicate, truly think and truly know.
This is the place where the Divine is connected to and thinks
through the human mind. Find the place with no words, and you
will find this Greater Truth.

If you want to send or receive thoughts with your mind, you must
understand that the thoughts that travel are not the thoughts that
are phrased in words; the thoughts that travel do not depend on
any form of language or system of communication. To listen
without words is to accept your own inability to really understand
this truth, and to learn to rely solely on your Spirit. Once you find
yourself, deep inside, you will become aware of everything that
comes within your mind’s grasp. Only then can you decide
whether or not you really want to put these concepts back into
words so you can understand the thoughts and images that are fly-
ing around in the world outside of you.

- 109 -
 RETSU

The Kuji-In RESTSU will help you to become aware that the
Universe is composed of more than three spatial dimensions.
According to modern quantum physics there are nine spatial
dimensions and one time dimension, for a total of ten space-time
dimensions. To increase your understanding of this greater reality,
you must stop believing only what your senses teach you and start
listening to and looking beyond the normal space-time continuum
you are used to accepting as reality. The mysteries of creation will
not remain secret forever if you take these steps. Naturally, your
senses are necessary in your daily human experience, but when you
start to acknowledge the existence of higher levels of perception,
you expand your ability to see/perceive these other dimensions.
Meditate to find this place of higher perception. Seek the state of
transcendence, then the state of conscious transcendence.

Space-time is where you seem to exist. In fact, it is actually

the place where your Higher Self is experimenting with the
experience of life. The dimensions are partitions delimiting the
various worlds of manifestation, but your Spirit can easily cross
those boundaries, once you understand how. Develop your
self-trust and faith. Believe you can do it. Be intelligent enough to
notice your limits so you do not hurt yourself, but be courageous
enough to go beyond those limits when you feel able to. Make
peace with your physical limitations, and know that they are not
meant to define your existence, only your immediate experience.

- 110 -
 ZAI

The Elemental world is far more than the physical manifestation

of Fire, Wind, Water and Earth. At the core of creation, at the
moment of the birth of the Universe, at the highest level of vibra-
tion of our Universe, God chose to manifest in many forms. Each
and every Element of Creation is an aspect of the Consciousness
of God. The Elements can be classified as either the Four
Elements used in Western Esotericism or the Five Elements
commonly used in the Oriental Esoteric System. These systems
of classification are there to aid human understanding. The basis
of the ability to manifest and create is the knowledge that the
Elements of Creation are absolute spiritual truths in action. They
are to be praised as the origin of Creation and to be admired in
their physical manifestation. By developing an attitude of consis-
tent praise, you can form a relationship with the Elements of
Creation.

Human beings are always afraid of the unknown. The most

disturbing fears we suffer are the fears of the indefinite, the
mysterious, the strange and occult: anything we are uncertain of
makes us edgy. As we gain knowledge, we get a feeling of control
that encourages us to extend a little (very fragile) trust, but even
the most innocent unknown truth is always more difficult for the
human mind to consider than the biggest, but most well known
falsehood. With faith as your guide, you will not know fear. The
unknown will stop being a dark forest filled with monsters, and
become a place for you to experience the greatest adventures, and
the brightest truths. When you conquer your fear of the unknown,
you will find that it is the hidden doorway to God.

- 111 -
 ZEN

ZEN teaches you to surrender yourself absolutely to the Universe.

It counsels you to let go of everything you have learned: every
belief, and every thought. Your human ego was a necessary tool
that allowed you to learn certain lessons. Now it is time to release
that ego, and to remember your smallness compared with the vast
Void that is a creation of the mind of God. Standing tall, looking
towards the infinite Universe, you are an infinitesimal speck,
almost nothing. Put your ego in its place, and allow God to enter
your life. Accept everything: every manifestation, every person,
every event, and every creation, as a part of God. God can neither
be grasped nor understood. God can only be Loved. When you
are completely immersed in the Love of God, you will rejoin with
your Divine Self, with your part of the God who made everything.
Then, as you calmly contemplate the Infinite Universe, you will
recognize yourself.

- 112 -

 Conclusion: No mind

The objective of any meditative practice is to allow your mind to

play with your Spirit, your True Self. The more complete the
meditative method, the more physical effects will become
apparent to you, and the more quickly your conscious mind will
connect with your Divine Self. When you first connect with your
Higher Self, you may be overwhelmed with higher thoughts.
Eventually, your human mind may wish to shut down to make
room for these higher thoughts; your mind will seek ‘peace of
mind’. Thus, When you allow your mind to be filled, it may be
happy at first, until it gets inundated. At that point, simply allow
your mind to shut down and look towards the Divine. As you seek
these higher thoughts and permit them to fill you, you will find
peace.

When you combine all of your preferred practices with the

normal activities of your daily life, you make room in your mind
for your Spirit. By using these profound meditations on a regular
basis you will find yourselves maintaining a slightly meditative
state during your other daily occupations. In time, your mind
will learn to contemplate Spirit, without engaging any cognitive
thinking process. This is the place of “no mind”.

- 114 -
Never underestimate the power of Joy. Many meditative
approaches deny the right of the mind to play. These approaches
want to remove the human mind as soon as possible from the
meditative process, pushing it out of your contemplation of God
with force. This will only upset and even damage your mind. All
the words, the thoughts, the methods, and the different techniques
we have studied here… all these exercises allow your mind the
freedom to play; when it plays, your mind is happy. Do not remove
the toys of the mind too quickly. Let your mind play for as long as
it wishes to. When satisfied, like a well fed baby, it will want to rest
all by itself. Then your mind will be ready to peacefully contem-
plate the thought process of your True Self, with no words, no
methods, no techniques, and especially, with no mind.

The path of enlightenment is not an objective to reach, but

a process you must experience. If there is any part of the path that
you overlook, your human mind misses the flavor of that spice,
causing you to go through the path again until you have all the
ingredients that make up the tasteful experience of life. It is not
necessary for you to run through all the glens and shadows of the
light and dark forests that run along each side of the path;
However, the path itself must be completely traveled.

- 115 -
The path to Illumination lies at the foothills of the experience
of Joy. Great Joy is awaiting you at every corner, even when
you seem to perceive pain. With devotion to yourself, tolerance,
and compassion, you will attain Joy, Love, and, in the end,
Enlightenment.

In devotion to the evolution of my fellow humans, I respectfully

give you this knowledge in the hope that you will reach the level
of realization you seek. With Love and Compassion, I pray for the
Divine to reveal itself to you, the true practitioners of the most
Sacred arts.

God Bless You,

 History and Variations
The Nine Hand Seals Technique and its related teachings have
their origins in the Hindu religion where they were initially used by
a few groups from the lower castes. These mystical techniques
were a means used by the monks to bring the virtues of the spirit
into mundane experience. The original form was not as developed
as the system we have today. Thus, this historical perspective refers
to the origins of the current system, not the modern Nine Hand
Seals Technique as it exists today. Buddhism came out of
Hinduism, and, with it, the Nine Hand Seals Technique became
ever more popular. The original mudras remain the same as those
taught in ancient times, but Buddhist mantras were also added to
the system to enhance it. The original mantras were in Sanskrit.
They are invocations and celebrations of the various Buddhas.
The Buddhist movement later traveled to China, where the tradi-
tion was passed on to the hermetic and esoteric groups extant
there. Boa Pu Zhi, a wise Chinese master, was the first to put the
nine hand mudras on paper, in his work published around the 3rd
century AC. Eventually, the techniques migrated to Japan, along
with esoteric Buddhism, where the mantras were translated into
Japanese phonetics.

The modern Kuji-In technique is composed of a ritual process

comprising the traditional application of the Buddhist “three
secrets” (mudra, mantra, and mandala). The true Kuji-In secret
lies within the contemplation of that philosophy which we use to
change our attitude about life. The goal of Kuji-In practice is not

-9-
to acquire strength, control, healing powers, telepathy, etc... These
are only side effects of practicing the rituals and focusing a bit on
the governing philosophy. Most people learn the technique simply
to attain one or more of these powerful side effects. By aiming at
such a mundane goal, their limited focus will ultimately result in
the attainment of 1/10th of what they could have achieved by
practicing Kuji-In to the fullest. The real path of Kuji-In is the
quest to know the truth about ourselves. It is a contemplation of
higher principles, an application of noble behavior to our daily
lives, and it requires the mental ability to perceive knowledge that
is not studied, but revealed. Once a revelation occurs, the side
effects mentioned earlier will develop rapidly and without effort.

A Kuji-In teacher transmits these techniques according to his own

experience of its revelations. Since the technique was transmitted
orally to many different groups, by many different masters, the
organization of the root knowledge remains the same, but the
ritual aspect has changed somewhat over time. Thus, there is no
dramatic change in the system, because the true knowledge of
Kuji-In is acquired through revelation, and the various ritual tech-
niques inevitably stimulate the mind towards the same goal, which
is the revelation of truth. As long as the ritual practice is applied,
the side effects eventually manifest. The general public sees the
manifestation of these side effects as the most obvious sign of the
attainment of mastery and generally (and mistakenly) believes that
they are the intent of these practices.

Some Kuji-In practitioners are adepts of meditation, and, accord-

ing to them, the Kuji-In technique is a way to deepen meditation.
Other Masters are Adepts of the martial arts, and, for them, the

- 10 -
Kuji-In techniques build the profound inner powers of the
warrior. Sorcerers will say that it develops the ability to manifest
magical phenomena. Peasants and farmers might say it is the
technique used to attract good fortune and stimulate good crops!
Those who speculate on such matters suggest that there might be
around 4000 different schools practicing these techniques around
the world, each transmitting the technique with their own unique
variations. Some Buddhists use a Qi Gong dance along with the
9 syllables, while others sit still in meditation and use a longer
version of the nine mantra prayers. The application of the
principles doesn’t matter. As long as the Kuji-In philosophy is the
proper foundation of the ritual technique, the desired results will
be attained.

It is crucial to receive the teachings, techniques and philosophy of

Kuji-In from a competent teacher. Although you could read the
technical details of the practice in any book related to this system,
only the insight and guidance of an experienced teacher will bring
about an understanding of the attitude that is necessary to
stimulate the requisite revelation process in the student. The
revelation of such knowledge is not a conscious process and
cannot be logically reasoned from the facts at hand. A competent
teacher is therefore one who has personally experienced the
phenomena of inner revelation repeatedly over a number of years.
Although we might also say that a competent teacher has learned
the techniques by himself (and that would be partially true), it
would shed doubt on the competence of the teacher to suggest
that he or she has ONLY learned these techniques by him or
herself. In fact, the most important factor in this learning is the
guidance that the practitioner receives in order to attain the state

- 11 -
of revelation. This revealed knowledge is simply validated by the
teacher, so the student does not doubt their first experiences. Later
on, if the student has some competence in pedagogy, and has
acquired enough of a deeper understanding of the technique over
the years to merit it, he might become a teacher himself.

In order to help you to discern a good teacher from a pretender:

A competent Kuji-In teacher must believe in God. He meditates
often, and has done so for many years. He will emphasize the
importance of the philosophy and its contemplation, (not the
lower forms of accomplishment). He will have great self-
confidence without being egotistical. He will generally be in a state
of harmony, but will accept himself to the fullest even in times of
personal turbulence. He will have a passion for life and he will
inspire you. He will require an exchange for his guidance, for he
knows about the laws of Karma and responsibility. A good
teacher will not brag about his competence. He will tend to keep
his spirituality to himself, and for his students. Most of all, we
recognize a tree from its fruits. If you are having a fruitful
experience from learning with a particular teacher, then that
teacher is competent. When you are certain you have outgrown
what a teacher can offer you, seek a higher source of knowledge.

 Transformational Approach

The kuji-in technique you will learn in this book is the transforma-
tional approach. It is a technique that has been thought for ages in
spiritual temples, from master to disciple. Although the ritual
technique is almost the same as the Japanese Mikkyo tradition, the
most important aspect is the personal transformation aspect that
was more popular in the Indian and Chinese Buddhist version. In
a sense, this technique addresses itself to a large public, since it
provokes a transformation for the holistic healer as well as the
martial arts adept. Nevertheless, only a few people will have the
courage and discipline to apply the technique and consider the
philosophical aspects.

This approach of the kuji-in technique is blunt and direct. It

requires the implication of the complete being, with an attitude of
acceptance and humility. Its core substance is about the transfor-
mation of the self, at the level of the body, the mind, and the
spirit. We encourage you to ponder each chapter of this book
thoroughly before you go on to the next. Take your time to
practice and contemplate the suggested ways of life.

- 13 -
 Invocative Technique

The Kuji-In techniques as they will be shown to you here should

initially be practiced in the invocative manner, meaning that they
will utilize an active and lively call for Spirit to become available to
our human consciousness. Therefore the invocation is said aloud,
while you breathe actively, and while you move; thus a certain sum
of energy is put into each aspect of this practice.

With a calm demeanor, without breathing too rapidly, it is recom-

mended that, the first time you practice Kuji-In, you manifest your
joy that you are alive and happy. Vigorously vocalize the mantras,
(without shouting). Allow your body to move to the rhythm you
set for your practice, even during the seated portions of practice.
You may also shake your hands back and forth while holding the
mudra, and then move your hands back to the fixed position in
front of you, at the level you find comfortable.

Before you begin a Kuji-In practice period, stretch your body,

drink a bit of water, sit down, and begin the “air and energy
breathing” technique. It is essential to perform this technique
before every Kuji-In session to ensure it will be maximally
effective.

- 14 -
 The Air and Energy Breathing Technique

There is a lot of free energy circulating in the air and space around
you. This useful energy is called Prana; it is as subtle as air, and it
is constantly used by your energetic body. When you inhale, you
naturally draw air and Prana into your nose. The air goes down
into your lungs. The Prana takes another route. It travels along the
inside of your nasal cavity and up inside the cranial vault. When
the Prana reaches the top of your spinal column, it splits and
travels down either side of your spine. As you inhale, the air and
Prana naturally flow along the correct path, without effort or
concentration on your part. Unfortunately, many of us have
obstructions that prevent Prana from flowing to its natural
destination. To clear out these obstructions, it is helpful to use the
following visualization in concert with the exercise of air and
energy (prana) breathing:

- Breathing in, visualize the Prana flowing into your nasal cavity,
and then flowing up into the inside of your cranial vault as a 2-3”
wide stream of white energy.

- From there it travels to the top of the inside of your cranial

bone, to the back of your head, and then splitting to flow down
either side of your spinal column.

- At the tailbone (coccyx) it continues on to your perineum,

(the tender spot between your anus and sexual organs) where it
condenses its flow and enters the base chakra.

- 15 -
Whether you are conscious of it or not, every time you inhale air,
Prana travels along at least a part of this path, depending on the
health of your entire energetic system. Practice this conscious
visualization along with the breathing, with clarity, but without
strain. This will help the Prana flow naturally along its designated
path and will clear any blockages you may have developed in those
channels. Eventually, you will naturally complete the entire Prana
cycle without concentrating on it. As you inhale, your body
naturally retains the Prana, even though there is no valve prevent-
ing it from being expelled. Thus, it continues to travel up inside
the cranial bone and along the route we have described, to the
perineum, where it is absorbed into the base chakra, with each and
every breath. For more information on these channels of energy,
you may want to do some extra research on the Ida and Pingala
channels.

It is essential to activate adequate air/Prana circulation throughout

your body to get everything working correctly. When Prana flows
properly, it fuels the fire in the base chakra. The fire in the base
chakra flares up like a flame, and does not die down to its original
level for some time, even after you finish this exercise. Fanning the
flame at the base charka markedly enhances the Kuji-In
awakening process. Each time you exhale, only air (mostly carbon
dioxide) is expelled; the Prana remains in the body and continues
to flow naturally without any mental effort on your part.

 RIN
RIN Way of Life

You have the right to live. Every time you let yourself believe you
do not have the right to live, to be, to act, you are telling the
Universe that you prefer being the victim of your own life events.
Stand up, be confident and declare your own right to live.

On the other hand, do not give yourself permission to act

arrogantly, or to say that you are better than anyone else. If you
make such comparisons, you are asserting that there are different
levels of the right to live, or that some people are more entitled to
life, or have more right to breathe than others. When you make
those kinds of comparisons, you destroy your own right to live, to
be, and to feel good about yourself.

From time to time, we all give in to the tendency to admit to

ourselves that we think we are better than everyone else. Yet, this
erroneous thinking reinforces the negative aspects of your ego. If
you want to achieve true self confidence, you must abandon all
attempts at comparing the value of human life. Thus, you may
certainly express your various preferences, preferring apples over
cherries, or the color pink to the color blue, but it is crucial to the
development of full self consciousness that you never judge
others as less worthy of life than you.

Only God can judge a human being and His judgment is always:
I LOVE YOU!

- 17 -
Once you start trusting yourself, practice projecting this trust into
life. Say to yourself, “Life takes care of me, I trust life”. Eventually,
this practice will lead you to have faith, the awareness that God
takes care of you every moment, and that you can let go of your
fears and worries; you are never alone and God supports all of
your actions. If He did not, you would simply cease to be.

In fact, as a human being, you don’t really have any control over
exactly what happens in your life, but you do have the power of
choice. By following these techniques, you will gain the tools to
influence the outcome of events in your life, and eventually, you
will also develop the power to manifest events more as you desire
them to be. You still won’t have any direct control over the
outcome of events in your life; you will simply learn to trust life,
and to have faith. Faith releases Divine energy into your body and
fuels all other spiritual activities.

 RIN Technique

Extend your two middle fingers and interlace all

other fingers.

Chakra: Base
Mantra jp: On baï shi ra man ta ya sowaka
Mantra sk: Om vajramanataya swaha

Visualize a flame at your base chakra, which grows brighter each

time you inhale air and Prana. The circulation of air and Prana
into your body ignites and fans the flame. Strangely, the flame
does not go out immediately, even after you stop this exercise; the
process seems to be self sustaining. When you exhale, vocalize the
Kuji-In prayer three times (3). It is at the inhalation that the flame
flares up. Visualize the flame growing until your whole body seems
to be filled with this spiritual fire. This is the first Key of RIN.
With this sacred technique, 90 complete breaths (1 breath = 1
inhalation and 1 exhalation) set your body on fire. You can begin
with 9 complete breaths, (that is 27 mantras), but to gain the full
potential of the RIN Kuji, and start the path, you will have to
perform the complete set 90 times every few days until you have
completely mastered the technique, and you feel the energy

- 19 -
strongly inside of you. In the first few breaths, the RIN fire
simultaneously grows in the base chakra and fills your lower body
and legs. As you complete the set, the RIN fire covers your entire
body, legs, arms, and then extends a bit beyond your body (about
one inch from the exterior surface of your skin). A bit of dark
blue smoke may be seen when a part of your body is set on fire
for the first few times. After that, you may see a very little bit of
white smoke. Allow the smoke to drift up unnoticed; do not spend
any energy attending to it.

- 20 -
 Physical vs. Spiritual Enhancement

You must give up the belief that the physical body is not spiritual,
or that the spirit is in some other place or dimension. We use the
terms physical and spiritual to describe different aspects of our
nature, but these different aspects both exist at the same time, and
in the same place in you, simply on different energetic levels. Your
spiritual, astral, energetic, and physical bodies are the same unique
thing. They are all on the same frequency scale, differing only by
their rate of vibration. Thus, anything you do on the spiritual
plane flows directly down into the physical plane whether you
want it to or not. Therefore, Kuji-In is a spiritual technique that
yields quite powerful physical results. The RIN Kuji technique
develops your ability to generate sustained energy circulation, or
even intense bursts of energy when needed. This practice
enhances your willpower, your mental determination, and even the
electro-magnetic output of your nervous system. IF you strain
with all your might to lift something, your nervous system sends
out energy to your muscles to provide the necessary output
strength. A normal human being’s nervous system can deliver
about 30% bio-electric energy to their muscles. When the RIN
technique is competently performed, you can double the output of
bio-electric energy to 60%, thus doubling your strength. You will
still have to do some physical training to get your muscles used to
handling this much of a load of energy; the delivery of 100% of
your potential energy to your muscles would damage the tendons
and is not a goal of this technique. Some Masters, especially in the
martial arts, practice bone and tendon Qi Gong. They can lift 800
pounds in an instant and deliver powerful and deadly blows with
their fists. If you can lift 200 pounds, and you do any form of

- 21 -
muscle conditioning (body building) to increase your strength to
400 pounds, you can use the RIN technique to double it again to
800 pounds. Of course, you won’t accomplish that by just using
the RIN technique for a few hours here and there, you have to give
it time to work on your body. This was an example application.

RIN has many other useful applications, some which are not obvi-
ous to the beginner. One thing is certain, if you do not develop
your proficiency with the RIN technique, all the other Kuji-In
techniques will lack the fuel they need; the available energy for the
other techniques will simply be inadequate to make them useful. If
you want to use these techniques to heal others with the SHA
technique for example, the improved energy circulation that RIN,
KYO and TOH provide are mandatory before SHA can be uti-
lized effectively. RIN will give you the strength you need at every
level, because your spirit does not see any difference among your
physical, ethereal, astral, mental, causal, soul, and spiritual ener-
getic selves, aside from the variable frequencies they each repre-
sent. Everything that comprises you is one single entity with a
dense physical body at the lowest frequency.

- 22 -
 A Quick Burst of Energy

If you ever need a quick burst of physical energy, you may apply
this simple technique, once you have the RIN fire coursing
through you. This technique will be totally useless to anyone who
does not practice the Kuji-In system you are learning.

Get the RIN fire coursing through you in 3 breaths, then focus
joyful energy into your base chakra, spreading it throughout your
entire body. Joy is the foundation of life, and releasing this emo-
tion will trigger a vigorous energy flow. Next, tense every muscle
in your body and hold that tension for 3 seconds. Tensing your
muscles will condense the energy, pooling it for your use. Then,
release the tension without relaxing your muscles completely and
hold that for 3 seconds, and then tense and hold for 3 seconds
again. Joy is life, and the increase in life energy in your system will
cause your internal energy to circulate more vigorously. This
pumping (tense-release) action floods your body with bio-available
physical energy. Repeat this sequence several times. With each
repetition imagine that you are pulling higher and higher levels of
vibrations into your body. It is almost as if the energy squirts into
your system, as might squeeze juice from a lemon or orange into
a glass. You fill yourself up with this delicious energy and it is
nourishing and filling. Stretch your body; open your eyes wide;
look up for 3 seconds and take a deeeeep breath. Look down and
take another deeeeep breath.

- 23 -
Resumed:
Three (3) complete inhalations reactivates the RIN Fire in your
body. Three (3) seconds of the pumping action (tensing and
releasing your muscles) condenses your bio-available energy.
Stretch your body again; keep your eyes opened, breathe while you
look up and then down. Do not relax, after all, you asked for more
energy!

- 24 -
 KYO
KYO Way of Life

To activate the abilities of the KYO level technique, you should

contemplate the following facts:

- You receive from life what you put into it.

- Every action you perform has a consequence.
- Everything you do sends out energy that will eventually return
- There is no good or evil, only action-reaction.
- You are responsible for everything that happens to you.
- You are the Master of your life.

A person must actively perform good and responsible actions for

a long time before the (seemingly) bad luck stops manifesting.
There are also consequences that come to you as ‘awkward
events’, which are a result of the actions of your subconscious
mind. You may believe that you have been good and responsible
in your actions; however, bad luck, and disturbing events are not
always a punishment for misbehavior or irresponsible action
which comes about as a consequence of karmic law. Sometimes
these disturbing events are simply the result of the actions of your
subconscious mind, which can be triggered into bringing these dif-
ficult events into your life when you dwell on the belief that you
don’t deserve to live, the belief that you are a bad person, the
belief that you do not have value., etc… Rather that perpetuate
this thinking and its destructive effects on the subconscious, it is
possible to use these experiences as a life transforming tool. You

- 25 -
begin this process when you accept that you are responsible for
everything that happens in your life, whether you know it or not.

It may be hard to believe but you are the absolute Master of your
life. Yet, how can you become powerful if you are continuously
sustaining the belief that things in your life are constantly out of
your control; that you have no effect on your life circumstances?
To come to grips with your true nature, you must begin to strug-
gle with the appearances that create this illusion. That illusion is
your physical mask. You must grapple with it. Thus, it would be
correct to say that there are events that occur for reasons you don’t
understand, and there are certainly energies and events set in
motion around you that you are not consciously aware of, but then
you are not yet fully conscious, and you must grasp that you are
actually the Master of everything that happens to you, whether
you KNOW it, or not. You may feel powerless about all of this at
the beginning, and that is natural. It is essential to reprogram your
thinking so you take responsibility for everything that happens to
you. If you do not believe this; if you do not practice this, you will
not gain the power to manifest what you truly want. As long as you
hold on to the victim-stance programming you are currently using,
you will be blaming others or life or circumstances for what
manifests in your life. As soon as you realize that your change of
mental attitude will ultimately have a positive effect, the temporary
setbacks and hindrances can be dealt with, without giving in to self
defeat and victim stance.

- 26 -
 KYO Technique

Extend your index fingers and bend your middle

fingers over your index fingers so that the tip of
your thumbs are touching. Interlace all your other
fingers.

Chakra: Hara/Navel
Mantra jp: On isha na ya in ta ra ya sowaka
Mantra sk: Om ishaanayaa yantrayaa swaha

The first part requires an exchange of energy between the inner

and outer energetic bodies at the level of the navel chakra (2 inch-
es below your navel, inside your body). Visualize white light flow-
ing outward in every direction from the navel chakra, at the same
time that white light energy is flowing into your navel center. The
system we are describing here involves a complete circuit: input,
circulation of energy – and output. This can be visualized as a
single sphere with bi-directional flow, which extends out from
your body just a few feet. Your inner navel is the center of the
sphere (where energy comes in). You may visualize the light
flowing more intensely at the front and back of your body, where
the navel chakra has its entrance. (You might think of this as an

- 27 -
input port, if that helps). Maintain the visualization and sensation
of the RIN fire burning throughout your entire system as a
background, but don’t concentrate on it. Focus your attention on
the continuous inflow and outflow of energy from your navel
chakra, which then condenses into a sphere around you, and a
glowing energy center inside of you. Visualize this white light
flowing in and out of you, purifying your exchanges of energy
with the Universe. Breathe deeply and relax. When you inhale,
focus on the flow of energy into you. When you exhale, chant the
full mantra prayer three times.

- 28 -
 Conscious Evolution with Kuji-in

When you are consistently performing the philosophical

contemplation described above, you will begin to see changes in
your personal life. Everyone has tiny balls of clogged energy that
obstruct one or more of their energetic channels. Your use of the
Kuji-In techniques will enhance your spiritual experience by
safely and effectively clearing out those obstructions, one or more
at a time. The material that was clogging your channel is then
released, sent back to the Universe. Eventually, some of this
dispersed energy may re-manifest the events that lead to whatever
caused the blockage in the first place, offering you an opportunity
to resolve this issue once and for all. Thus, even though the
energy ‘clogs’ are dispersed into the Universe, they can result in
the reappearance of previous trials and life-challenges if you have
not mastered the karmic lesson associated with them.

Kuji-In is a process that allows you to release the detritus of

human experience. The side effect of this release is that you
become more powerful, but the primary goal is always to evolve.
Once you rid yourself of energetic obstructions, you may still
experience a few of these karmic occurrences, but they will
inevitably be an event that you can resolve promptly, or an event
your Super Conscious chose for you, in order to experiment and
have new experiences in your life. In every case, you will become
stronger. However, Kuji-In is not a technique that will give a
human being Supernatural powers for the sake of their ego, or
because of a human lust for power. Kuji-In is not intended to
provide an ego-boost, and, in many instances can be quite hard on
those with fragile egos: those who dwell in vanity, with the

- 29 -
arrogance of false superiority. Rather, Kuji-In triggers an
expansion of consciousness, which naturally leads to the evolution
we have been describing. As you evolve, you will soon discover
that the distressing events that you were hoping to resolve
actually occur more frequently, sometimes following one another
in rapid succession. These challenging events manifest more
quickly, so you can evolve more quickly. If you currently feel
overwhelmed by bad luck or bad karma, slow down; take the time
you need to resolve each situation that emerges, one at a time.
Kuji-In is meant to make this process easier, you will get
overwhelmed only if you take on too much. Develop faith, and
learn to trust in life with RIN. Develop personal responsibility
with KYO. This will make your life easier.

If you find that there are a lot of negative events occurring in your
life, take a bit of time to do the KYO Kuji. Contemplate the
concept that you are responsible for (you are the inner cause of)
everything that happens, while making the energy flow in/out at
the level of the navel chakra. Even if you don’t know the inner
cause at the moment, by allowing yourself to be open to the
concept that these painful or frustrating events come from you,
the problem will be easier to resolve. If the event has been
hovering on the verge of manifestation, it is also more likely to
become an actual fact. Once it is actually manifested, you will
notice that you have the tools to easily resolve it.

- 30 -
 A Word About Responsibility

RIN utilizes a process of enhancing self-trust and faith. It should

never be invoked to evade personal responsibility for anything. If
you become aware of a problem and you choose to ignore it under
the pretext that, “Life will take care of itself ”, well… Life will take
care of you alright. You may lose everything and become a
beggar,… but Life will have taken care of you, according to your
own dictates. If you demonstrate a lack of respect for your own
personal self worth through your failure to act, then you will
manifest inaction and lack of value. As the KYO process teaches
us, if you exhibit personal value and responsible action, then you
will be responsible for causing what you desire to manifest
(positively). You must act in accordance with your desires.

Yet, even if you work very hard at putting these principles into
action, if you do not believe that Life will take care of you,
responsible action may manifest as constant challenges to your
security. Even when you begin to exhibit responsible action and
trust in Life, it will take quite a while to manifest what you want if
you do not have the RIN attitude of faith set firmly in place.
These techniques build upon each other, and mastery of one tech-
nique helps you do well at the next. Thus, mastery means having
each technique solidly established as part of your life, so that
responsible action will help you manifest abundance in all aspects
of your life (if you have faith that Life will take care of you).

Some people call this process transmuting karma; others refer

to it as transcending the human experience. I call it transmuting
emotion, for it is at the emotional level where the transcendence

- 31 -
occurs. You can use your conscious mind to penetrate and absorb
the emotional content and meaning of your experiences, to absorb
and digest them, so they become the nutrients that help you to
evolve.

An emotion cannot be transmuted by actively wishing it to go

away, or trying to get rid of it. Whatever experience you are deal-
ing with occurred so you might become aware of your deepest
emotions, to face them and absorb them. It is only by becoming
consciously aware of the full range of our emotional experiences
that we will be able to transmute these experiences and use them
to help us evolve. Our Super-consciousness intentionally experi-
ments with (allows us to experience) these different life situations
and difficult emotions, so our souls can taste life in all its wonder
and misery. Our Super-consciousness is exposing us to these
experiences so the conscious mind can “wake up” and become
aware of its own existence. Therefore it is not our task to flee such
experiences, nor, contrarily, to seek them out. Life will bring what
we need to us. The transmutation process cannot occur if we are
self-absorbed in dread, fear and worry. Those emotions only lead
to avoidance. This transmutation requires the that we take the first
steps in learning that life will provide what we need, and we have
what we need to penetrate, absorb and digest these events so that
they result in our evolution.

- 32 -
 TOH
TOH Way of Life

TOH is the Kuji attributed to harmony, but why is that?

At this level, you are encouraged to center yourself in your inner

dan-tian (inside your belly), and to adopt an attitude of humility,
tolerance and adaptation.

When an outside force impinges upon you, you can either resist,
creating a conflict and a possible impasse, or you can bow to it,
adapting your outer shape to the incoming force, yielding to it.
When you accept the flow of power without rigid resistance;
when you humbly adapt to its flow, you will remain in a state of
harmony.

Consider a little stream of water that is trying to run its course

between two mountains. Even if a giant boulder fell into the
stream, obstructing its flow, the stream would not complain to the
rock “Move out of the way!” and attempt to force the boulder out
of its way. If the power of the rock to remain is greater than the
force of the water to move it, the water will humbly flow under
the rock and around its sides until it passes again on its way. Even
though the rock tries to damn up the water, the water does not
fight the rock. It remains in a state of harmony and keeps flowing
on its own way, with humility.

- 33 -
Learn to tolerate what is going on around you, and if it seems to
affect you, humbly adapt your attitude to the new parameters.
There are other times when the force of the water is much greater
than any rock, but TOH is not that time and place. TOH is a state
of harmony which you maintain with tolerance, humility and a
spirit of forceless adaptation.

If you drop a small rock into a pond of water, the ripples will
come and go. Eventually, because of the flexible and adaptive state
of water, the pond will return to a peaceful mirror-like state,
contemplating itself, contained in its earthly bed. Thus, the lesson
of water is to peacefully contain yourself while you adapt to your
environment. If you learn this lesson properly you will always be
in a state of harmony and you will always have ample energy
reserves.

Let’s add an important detail here. If a train is coming towards

you, please don’t just stand there while happily believing you are
peacefully accepting everything that happens, and that your body
will adapt to the new parameters of the incoming shock. The wise
choice is to adapt your physical position and get out of the way
before it is too late. If there is a lot of arguing going on around
you or someone is contentious with you, adapt your tolerance,
negotiate as best you can, find a solution, and take whatever
actions you must to resolve the situation. Adaptation does not
require that you endure persistent stupidity; adaptation means
moving when you need to, changing your diet when it is time,
exercising to keep your body healthy, and so on. Adaptation
doesn’t mean adopting a slavish attitude toward someone else’s
point of view, or allowing yourself to get run over by a train.

- 34 -
It means adapting your understanding and point of view to the
situation, and using the least amount of energy to flow in
harmony with the forces around you, while holding firm to your
inner truth. If something threatens your life, preserve your life and
health in any way you can.

 TOH Technique

Point your thumbs and the last two fingers of both

hands while keeping your index and middle fingers
interlaced inside your hands.

Chakra: Dan-tian, between the Hara and Solar Plexus

Mantra jp: On je te ra shi ita ra ji ba ra ta no-o sowaka
Mantra sk: Om jitraashi yatra jivaratna swaha

In your abdomen, among the intestines, there is a fluid substance

at the physical level and a plasma fluid at the energetic level. This
fluid acts like our standard battery acid, and is able to gather and
store energy reserves. Your entire intestine/bowel region is filled
with this energy gathering plasma. When you inhale, the oxygen
rich air blows gently on the fire at your base chakra, causing this
fire to flow thru your entire body; at the same time, your abdomen
also fills with energy. Energy is actually flooding you from
everywhere all the time, and this part of your body is constantly
gathering and storing that energy, just like a battery. Whether you
breathe in or out, the flow is continuous. There are no limits to the

energy you can gather; an overflow is welcome. Your body will
know what to do with this energy reserve, so don’t be afraid to fill
it. Never apply force, simply use your mind to visualize it entering
and collecting, and it will fill up all by itself. Your body doesn’t
need much encouragement to do this, since that is its natural
purpose. The energy is white when it enters and it takes on a little
golden shade as it condenses within your body, filling your reserve
system with healthy golden, glowing energy. Do not put any effort
into immobilizing the energy. Your body naturally knows how to
use it, and it might tap into the first reserves the moment you
fill yourself (if you are not used to taking the time to refill your
reservoir).

After a few minutes, focus your concentration on filling up the

energy reservoir in your abdomen. At the same time, let the
outside world go, and begin to lose yourself in your body, as if you
were wrapping yourself in a cocoon. Simply place your conscious-
ness into your abdomen; don’t worry about taking on some
particular shape. Enjoy containing your consciousness in your
body and isolating yourself from the outside world. Your gravity
center is in your abdomen. Your life center is in your abdomen.
Fill yourself with life, contain yourself as life.

This is the most important part of the TOH technique. Know that
you are life. You are inside yourself, and you are not a simple
human thing or mundane object, you are Life. Fill yourself with
these flows of energy and be aware you are this life-giving-energy.
If there is a flame going thru you (let’s say it comes from the base

- 37 -
chakra) then it fills you with life when it passes thru your body, and
you become this life as consciousness. If energy flows around and
throughout your entire being, then it fills you and you are that
energy. If you are life, then your consciousness of yourself, which
fills you all by itself, will continuously enhance your awareness of
yourself as life. Be at peace, you are Life contained within yourself.

 Emotional Transmutation

The emotional transmutation technique should not be done

excessively. It can be demanding at first, so just begin by doing it
once or twice to get the feel of it. Someday when you feel like
exploring your emotional world, you may return to this exercise
and practice emotional transmutation more often. You may even
wait many years before you perform it regularly, it doesn’t really
matter. Someday, you will feel the need to use this technique.
When you do, you will double your Kuji-In efficiency. Until then,
a lot of things can enhance your Kuji-In efficiency, so it’s ok to
prefer one technique over another. It is important to try each
technique at least once, and then you should focus on the main
Kuji-In thread (the attitude/practice combination).

Now that you understand self-trust and how to abide in faith

(RIN); now that you are responsible for what happens and you can
activate evolutionary experiences in your life (KYO); now that you
know you are within yourself as consciousness, as life (TOH), you
might want to know how to process all these new experiences.

When a disturbing experience occurs and you want to resolve it,

first take all the necessary physical actions that you must, in order
to correct the situation, then you can always work at the emotion-
al level to go thru the entire experience using consciousness to
penetrate the experience and absorb it; by this means you can
digest the experience and transform it, thus releasing the need for

- 39 -
the experience to manifest physically again and again. This is what
some teachers call “the transmutation of karma” or “transcending
the human experience”. I call this the Transmutation of Emotion.

An emotion is not transmuted by actively wishing it to go away, or

trying to get rid of it. Every experience occurs so that you may
become aware of it; it is only by consciously becoming aware of
the full experience that the emotion will be transmuted and
released as a new (higher) experience. We experiment with emo-
tions so that the soul can taste life and so that consciousness can
know its own existence. We must not flee from painful or difficult
emotions, yet we must not intentionally provoke pain either. This
process cannot take place while you listen to the inner voice and
its natural fear of feeling pain. You will have to be courageous and
go beyond your fear; have faith, release control over the emotion-
al pain and become aware of the emotion without engaging it in
any way.

- 40 -
 The Transmutation Technique

Begin the Transmutation Technique by selecting some recent

event that you feel guilty about or perhaps some event that left you
feeling rejected. You may choose any memory, whether in your
recent or remote past, as long as it is not an experience you
associate with overwhelming painful emotions of any kind. Begin
with this problematic, but bearable emotion, so you can do the
emotional work and still be able to follow along with these three
simple steps. Remember that you only need to understand and
practice these steps in order to get acquainted to them.

First step (inner contact): Refresh your memory of the emotion

and the situation linked to it. Take a deep breath and feel this
emotion without limitation. It is in your belly, within you, and you
can feel it more and more. Do not amplify it from your normal
stance as the victim of this emotion, instead, listen to it, feel what-
ever it brings up for you, taste its flavor, accept its shape and form
and how it defines itself (even if that is different than how you
were defining it), contemplate it, and hold it within you. Be at
peace and relive the emotion for a few breaths, up to one full
minute. Be at peace. Later in your training you may perform this
with some more powerful emotions. For now, just enjoy peaceful-
ly contemplating the positive change you just made.

Sometimes, you may feel the need to express an emotion outward-

ly, in order to release some pressure that seems to be building up.
On those occasions, (and this is not to be done frequently),
simply release what you need to let go of, but never lose control
over this experiment. When you are just learning these techniques,

- 41 -
it is too easy to revert to victim stance, and to begin amplifying
how terrible the situation is. Remember that you are practicing just
becoming aware of the emotion. When you are unable to bear the
intensity of an emotion, you may release some of the pressure on
you; then just continue on with the process. It is obviously not the
goal to keep this emotion trapped inside of you, or buried; rather
it is the goal of this exercise to release the hold you have on it.
Thus it is perfectly fine to perform the process while expressing
some normal human emotion. Simply keep track of the
experiment without losing your grip on the process. Breathe into
your abdomen throughout the entire process. Do not breathe
from your upper torso. Hold the situation that caused the emotion
in your mind while you feel the emotion.

Second step (integration): Get inside the emotion and follow

wherever it leads you. Breathe deeply and comfortably. As the air
flows into your abdomen, your task, as consciousness, is to
penetrate the emotion and let it absorb you. Be aware of all the
feelings that entering this emotion evokes for you, whether you
feel pain or emptiness, coldness or heat, anger or sadness, get
inside of it and become it. The process of Integration requires a
conscious fusion of you and the emotion. You are going to allow
yourself to be enveloped within the emotion; to be integrated by
it. For a few minutes, breathe and accept, breathe and become,
breath and feel. Follow the path this emotion leads you on, and
you will notice that most of the time, the emotion will be cover-
ing another emotion that is buried beneath it.

- 42 -
Every emotion arises into our consciousness because it is linked
with some human experience. Use your mind to follow these
experiences from the past so that you can remember what
happened. You might run thru a few events (while following your
emotions), until you come to the first time in your life that you felt
that emotion. Stay focused. Do not jump from one thread to
another; trace one experience to its root cause, following one
thread at a time. As you allow the emotions to exist, without
avoiding them or rejecting them, the emotion is freed up, and the
energy associated with it ceases to be trapped; the emotion is alive
again, emancipated. When you stop blocking it and permit it to
BE, your consciousness can understand the profound essence of
that emotion.

During the exercise of becoming the emotion, this previously

problematic feeling will be re-set to a peaceful, natural state and
you will get an abstract but clear understanding of your human
experience. You are what you experience, as consciousness, as
spirit, as life. Do not rush through your experience of this step.
Allow the penetrating fusion to continue for a while, until there is
no pain associated with the emotion, but only the experience of it.
Conscious breathing will also naturally relax your hold on the
emotion until it is released. Please understand that the emotion
will not leave you, it will simply be free to remain inside of you
without any of the previous negative associations. Always
consciously push past your fear of pain; never push away the
emotion. With your mind, consolidate the entire experience, which
is comprised of all of the life events that made it; breathe and be
conscious within that entirety.

- 43 -
The human ego has strong natural defense systems. Many times,
the emotion is not blocked all by itself. Instead, the human ego
keeps control over it, out of arrogance, vanity, jealousy, and envy,
the ego refuses to allow the emotion the right to be resolved, all
because of pride. You have to be in charge of this experiment and
release the mental hold you keep on your emotion. You simply
have to let go.

Third step (liberation): When you feel completely saturated with

the emotion you are working on, when your consciousness has
transmuted it into a living experience, that emotion (and all the
energy that was trapped with it) is freed up. It is not released out-
side of you, it is available to you again, and all the power and
potency of the emotion is alive for you again. The heavy, dense or
contracted energy that was troubling you is released in that it is
converted into its essence, and dissolved in your higher conscious-
ness. A good feeling will naturally bubble up from within you. You
may feel deeply satisfied, or you may experience a profound state
of peace, or you may feel the emancipating joy of freedom.
Breathe and allow this new feeling of joy to fill you up; release this
positive emotion if you wish to (go ahead and laugh).

After this transmutation, the most important thing for you to do

is to contemplate the wholeness of the experience as joyful life
and happiness. Even if your physical human experience did not
seem to change at all, your inner experience of it became one with
your consciousness. Do not let your human ego steal this moment
from you. It is crucial for you to rejoice within yourself, for your
have tasted life at its fullest.

- 44 -
 Sample Application

A few days before I began writing this book, I was struck with
insecurity. I did a bit of RIN level Kuji, breathing in while focus-
ing a bit on the fire visualization but mostly concentrating on the
philosophy that “Life takes care of me, I am not alone, God is
with me, and I trust life”. I allowed myself to release my control
over that feeling. I used Kuji-In to get in touch with the aspect I
wanted to work on, and then I stopped the specific Kuji-In
practice so I could concentrate on emotional transmutation.

At each in-breath, I let myself feel the emotion, completely aware

of it, allowing myself to feel every sensation that came up, and to
absorb the ‘flavor’ of these feelings. In order to get underneath
the fear, I went down to the emotion of feeling abandoned. I sat
within the emotion of abandonment in a state of complete
acceptance for some time. I felt sad about the abandonment. It
took a few minutes before I got to the depth of my sadness. My
goal was to be conscious of it, without struggling against it, or
trying to change it. I followed the experience deeper, and deeper,
only to discover that I was afraid of not having enough money. In
my early 20’s I experimented with being a beggar. Each day I
hoped to eat, and I came to understand that life is very hard. A few
minutes later, after I had questioned myself more and more
extensively as to why I had to go through the experience of being
a beggar, I sought to remember some time in the more distant past
when I had felt this same emotion. I remembered my brother
stealing my toys and I suddenly realized that was when I started
believing life would not give me what I want.

- 45 -
As I accepted that I have no control over my life, sitting in that
knowledge and understanding it for quite a few breaths, the
insecurity gradually dissolved and the emotion disappeared. In
fact, it did not actually go away; it was transmuted into trust. Thus,
I came to understand the entire experience, and the emotion
became what I sought, thanks to the wonderful process of
evolution.

It can take years of suffering for a normal human being to grasp

the essence of a single lesson, and this process is rarely accom-
plished consciously. This lack of conscious understanding permits
the negative events to re-emerge over and over. With conscious
integration of an emotional experience, a few hours, sometimes
even a few minutes are enough to release the entire experience for
you. Sometimes the experience does re-emerge again later, but
only to be integrated at another level, and again, only a small
amount of time is necessary to transmute it, compared to the
natural evolution process. Some people resolve one karmic event
every 10 years. Most cannot resolve more than a few lessons in
their lifetime. Evolutionary beings can resolve these experiences
‘in bulk’ every once in a while, each time making their life easier
and happier.

- 46 -
 Responsibility vs. Guilt

If you feel something weighing on your mind, it is recommended

that you apply physically responsible actions in order to resolve
the situation physically, whenever possible. There will be a few
things that are too broken to fix, like a damaged, but irreplaceable
valuable. Whether an actual resolution is possible or not, apply the
Conscious Transformation Technique and begin the Emotional
Transmutation to allow yourself to feel the emotions related to
this situation. You need to become aware of the emotions at the
level of your soul in order to bring everything related to this expe-
rience up to consciousness, including dredging up any incidents
where it could have originated in your past. You will use the
Conscious Evolution Technique (Emotional Transmutation is the
cornerstone of this process) to solve this problem at the soul level,
where it originated. Using this soul level technique will make it
easier for you to work out problems on the physical level, if any
action is required. It will also free you from the paralyzing
emotion of guilt.

The KYO technique is not designed to make you take on any

responsibility for the things that happen to everyone else. It is a
technique of personal-responsibility that deals with the sum total
of everything that you experience. If what you are experiencing
touches other people, then they also have to take the responsibili-
ty for their experience of that situation. In any case, never
disregard your responsibility by saying “it’s not my problem” if the
experience is yours.

- 47 -
The KYO philosophy does not imply that “everything is my
fault”. The concept of fault and responsibility are two different
things. Fault is maintained by an emotional attachment to guilt.
Guilt is result of a self-judgment that you have been refusing to
become conscious of. When we look at the concepts of fault and
guilt, we see that the human ego tends to play the victim for what
happened and wants to sink into the self-abusive, self-defeating
shame of what it did. This creates a war against the self, which is
maintained in order to prevent conscious awareness. Conscious
awareness at every level is mandatory for personal evolution and
transformation.

A responsible person does not suffer long from any experience,

because he or she refuses to dwell in an emotional puddle, where
the ego gets caught playing blinding games of denial.
Responsibility is guilt free. It is an acceptance that the process of
manifestation of experiences originates from a desire on the part
of your Spirit to experience a particular life lesson through the
events currently available in your circumstances. Responsibility
requires acknowledging that everything happens because of an
inner cause. This inner cause is inside you just waiting to be
discovered. When you master this law, you will be able to
consciously manifest what you want, but acknowledging your
personal responsibility is a prerequisite to mastery. In any situation
that brings up an emotion or triggers a reaction from you, the first
thing to do is accept your responsibility for the experience and
take a deep breath to become aware of what is going on inside you
(emotion, reaction, thought).

- 48 -
Take the time to develop this technique into a reflex. When
an emotion rises, make it a reflex to automatically breath-in in
order to embrace the experiences and feel the emotion. The
actions you take from that point on will be more conscious and
more powerful at every level.

 SHA
SHA Way of Life

There is a good reason why the step before (TOH) is a contem-

plation of humility and tolerance. You are blessed with free-will,
with the power to act and to accomplish whatever you wish.
However, you must never think that you can harm others
with your right to act. While you are not free from the moral
responsibility that comes with your decision to act, and from the
requirement that you respect others, you are absolutely free to
make your own life-choices. As you become more and more
powerful, you will feel this self-confidence in your guts. Do not
slip into the habit of comparing yourself to others (building your-
self up by putting others down), or ever looking down on anyone.

Any type of superiority complex you have will rise as you advance,
it is inevitable. It is a normal part of this evolutionary path that
your animal and ego reflexes will reveal themselves to you. Do not
fight to repress them; neither should you act upon them. Take
your superiority complex inside you and emotionally integrate it.
Take the time to consider why you entered into a mental and
emotional state of competition, of comparison. Feel the natural
animal and biological defense system that makes us want to fight,
to get into competition with everyone around us for more and
larger acquisitions. Recognize that THIS is what drives this supe-
riority complex. Absorb it.

- 51 -
You may also experience a reflex reaction that comes out of the
fear that if you integrate these urges, you might lose this compet-
itive edge, this drive for power. You might even say to yourself “I
don’t want to lose my drive for power!” Have no concern. If you
absorb this superiority complex, you will still be driven to become
powerful, but you will do so consciously, and it will stop being a
competitive race with others, based on the ignorant and foolish
assumption that there are limited resources for which you must
contend. Since there are no limits to the resources available, (as
you may discover in the RIN Kuji) you can continue to release
competitive urges, while continuing to strive consciously to
become everything that you are capable of.

Any time you force another person to do your will, you are violat-
ing their right to free-will. Never use force or power to change
anything in another person’s life. Use your abilities to make your
own life better. You can pray for a person to heal, you can help
others, you can protect yourself and those in need, but you may
absolutely not use your power to confront or to challenge anoth-
er human being. The power of SHA is enabled by the trust/faith
of RIN, making you conscious of your right to act and to live.

SHA is confirmed by the awareness of personal responsibility you

gained from KYO, since you are the one that manifested what
happened to you. By improving yourself, you will manifest more
desirable outcomes, outcomes that are congruent with your true
will. By accepting that you manifest what happens in your life, you
gain the power to consciously alter your experience and you learn
to manifest consciously.

- 52 -
SHA is therefore assisted by the humility you gained in your prac-
tice of TOH. As you learn to adapt yourself to your environment,
you gain the power to adapt your environment to your will.
Tolerance helps your mind release irritation, allowing you to focus
only on the good things, the positive outcomes you desire, thus
encouraging the manifestation of those good things.

SHA teaches you that you have the right to have power.
SHA offers you the lesson that you are always free to act. SHA
naturally gives you back the means to exist fully, which physically
manifests in the healing of your body.

The power of SHA should not be constrained. It must be allowed

to flow freely within you. You can direct your willpower with
SHA energy, and you may direct it to accomplish a specific
purpose if you wish to, but in general, allow the SHA energy to
flow harmoniously within you. As you develop the power of SHA,
it will never stop flowing and it will always naturally go where you
need it.

- 53 -
 SHA Technique

Extend your thumbs, index fingers and little fingers.

Interlace your middle and fourth finger inside your
hands.

Chakra: Solar Plexus

Mantra jp: On ha ya baï shi ra man ta ya sowaka
Mantra sk: Om haya vajramaantayaa swaha

SHA is the level where you begin to take charge of this process. It
is your stepping stone to the expression of your inner power,
directed will, intentional action and the manifestation of your true
will. It is well known that the first phenomenon observed with the
development of your SHA energy is the healing of your body. It
is a fact that the active energy in your solar plexus immediately
starts regenerating your body. The natural reflex of the body,
when filled with active Qi, will be to reconstruct itself, to heal and
to extend your lifespan.

First, help release energy blockages that may be present in the

abdomen and on the border of the rib-cage. Place your hands
palm down on your knees. Breath-in deeply, pulling the air into

- 54 -
your abdomen; hold the air in for 3-5 seconds, then breath-out
forcefully (AHHhhhhhh!) thru the mouth contracting all your
abdominal muscles. Empty as much air as you can, and immedi-
ately release your abdomen muscles but keep your lungs empty, do
not inhale yet. While your belly is relaxed and empty (no air in it)
remain in this breathless state while you suck your abdomen up
into your rib cage. Keep all your intestines and digestive organs
pulled up into your rib cage. Hold it all in for 1 second, release the
tension in your abdomen, then immediately pull your belly up into
your rib-cage again for 1 second, relax the muscles, and then pull
it back up again for a total of nine (9) “1 second hold and release”
bursts, then breathe normally again. Perform this 3 to 9 times
before moving on to the next Kuji-In technique.

As you work with the SHA Kuji-In technique (using mudra and
mantra), focus on the fact that you are “in charge”; you have the
active power, with all the means you need to act upon whatever
choice you make; you have the right to live, the right to do what
you wish, the right to experience life. As you focus on these
concepts, fill your solar plexus with living power and determina-
tion in the form of raw energy, which is a circulating and radiant
energy that is shining from your solar plexus. Crank up this power,
feel it in your guts. See your body reconstruct and heal as you
focus on your inner power. Visualize this nuclear fusion reactor
which is inside of your body. See the powerful sun of the solar
plexus.

Do not focus on this energy as any kind of comparative power.

Never imagine being “more powerful than anyone else”… Rather,
affirm to yourself, “I am powerful”. You can use this affirmation,

- 55 -
“I am power, I am life, and I always perform the right action: I
have the power to act in my life, I have the life to act in power, and
I am acting powerfully in my life”. Always contemplate your power
without stressing your body. Consider alternating periods of active
theatrically powerful practice, with relaxed meditative practice.
Move with your power. Speak the mantra with power and decisive-
ness. Contract your muscles as often you wish, and return to a
state of relaxation from time to time. Power can flow thru you
with harmony and peace. Complete the practice with relaxed
breathing, while focusing on joy.

- 56 -
 Healing

The healing ability which SHA enhances is the primary reason that
most people want to learn about Kuji-In. Therefore, now that you
are able to build up your energy properly and store it in your
battery, (so you have an adequate source of energy for healing),
and you have learned how to direct your energy according to your
will, you are now ready to receive the application of SHA so that
you can use the SHA technique to heal yourself or someone else.

Healing is always a side effect of the rectification of the various

parts of your Self on the other levels of existence. Self-therapy
and emotional integration will always be an important part of
assisting the healing process.

As you gather all the components of this technique in your mind

and prepare to start practicing SHA, you must focus your
attention on beginning the process of healing. Although the SHA
technique is enhanced by alternating between mild and intense
applications, this must remain a background thought, because
effective healing requires a singular focus on peace and harmony.
Therefore, the best way to proceed is to keep your inner contem-
plation focused mostly on the healing of your body, while
maintaining the fact that your solar plexus is radiating energy as a
background thought.

Graphic pictorial language speaks to our subconscious. The

following exercise uses the graphic pictorial symbolism of a fruit
that has been left to rot, in contrast to a freshly picked fruit, burst-
ing with life and juices. Visualize the cells within your body as they

- 57 -
shift from weak, rotting, decaying cells, to plump, rich cells, filled
with life, and light and always supplied with the perfect amount
of nutrients and hydration. Use every sense to imagine and focus
on this restoration process, (quickly leaving behind the idea of any
decaying cells). Make the image of your cells beautiful and alive.
You may place your focus on your entire body, or on a special
organ, depending on your needs. Close your visualization with the
certainty that there are only rich healthy cells remaining in your
body.

Your body knows better than your mind what the correct shape of
an organ for your body should be. If you seek to heal an organ,
do not visualize the organ itself, as you may wind up manifesting
an organ with an improper shape for your body. Simply focus on
the reconstruction of the organ at the cellular level, and ask your
body to heal. If you need a stronger and healthier heart, you may
certainly visualize the organ conceptually as healthy and strong,
using a visualization that is as close to the desired result as you can
imagine. However, please refrain from adopting an attitude of
control over the exact final shape; just allow your body to comply
with your expressed desire and to perfectly create a healthy, strong
heart for you that is perfectly shaped for your body. Use the affir-
mation, “My heart is healthy and strong; my heart is perfect for my
body.”

If you need to reconstruct a bone, for example, you might

compare your visualization to a broken tree branch rectifying
itself. Focus your thoughts on the bone structure reforming,
instead of trying to dwell on the exact shape of the finished prod-
uct. You certainly don’t want to end-up with a misshapen bone.

- 58 -
Again, you can trust that your bones have the power to rectify
themselves at the cellular level. Then all you have to do is trust that
your body knows exactly how to reform the bones so that they will
fit your body perfectly. Therefore, you will always focus on the
bone rectification process in general way, rather than the precise
details. Use the affirmation, “My bone structure is perfect for my
body.”

It will take a lot of practice before you will be able to heal at will.
However, although it does take time to develop this ability to the
level of mastery, the rewards are excellent for the diligent and
perseverant practitioner. After you have sufficient experience at
regenerating your own body, you will be able to focus this healing
process on others, in order to help them heal. In this way you can
assist their natural healing process, just as you do when you work
the SHA technique on yourself.

It is important that you understand that the SHA technique always

works much better if the person in question actually wants to
be healed. You may think this is a strange concept, but it does
happen that some people want to experiment with being sick for
a while. Others might seek to be ill because they feel guilty about
asking to be loved unless they are ill. There are many reasons for
these choices, even if they seem strange to you. Most of all you
must understand that it is difficult, if not impossible, to fight
against the will of someone who manifests sickness in their body
so they can play the role of the victim in order to get attention.
When someone gets sick, there is always an underlying reason for
their choice to manifest that illness. In any case, it is wise to under-
stand these principles if you want to help people to heal. It is also

- 59 -
important (in fact, it is crucial for your own self preservation) that
you refuse to overburden yourself with the responsibility of
healing everyone. Remember that you are responsible for your
own well being and self- preservation first. If you destroy your life
trying to help others, you won’t be there for anyone. Do not
promote yourself as a healer unless you actually work in this field.
Take care of yourself before you try to help anyone else.

- 60 -
 KAI
KAI Way of Life

The KAI level is associated with the Heart chakra. It is said that
the ability one develops with this Kuji is intuition. In fact, intuition
is a natural side-effect of the deeper understanding of the wisdom
beneath intuition, which is compassion.

According to many spiritual philosophies God created us to expe-

rience life. Your life is a manifestation of God. God experiences
life through you. Everything that happens in your life is a blessing
of the honorable consciousness that you are.

At the emotional level, the heart chakra is both an organ of

perception and an emitting organ. It perceives life’s experiences
and transmits opinions about those experiences. Such opinions are
usually called “judgments”. The heart tells us what is right and
what is wrong; these perceptions are part of the process that
conditions our human ego.

KAI is the Kuji-In technique for perfecting your experience of

Love. This Love is not only the love exchanged by mates, but the
all-mighty unconditional Love of yourself and others. As you look
at yourself, focus on accepting all that you are, in whatever state or
condition you currently find yourself. This doesn’t mean you will
give up trying to improve yourself, but it would be cruel to wait

- 61 -
until you are perfect before you accept all that you are. If you wait
for perfection before you start loving yourself, you will wait forev-
er, because loving yourself as you are right now is a necessary tool
for the attainment of perfection.

KAI is the way of acceptance, love and compassion. By accepting

yourself and all that you are, by accepting others as they are, by
accepting everything that happens, you are opening the way for a
greater experience of compassion. The compassion of KAI offers
you a way to look at painful events, with an eye to seeing the
lesson that the experience is trying to teach you. This is possible
when you understand that there is a loving Spirit whose goal is
your personal evolution and bliss; that Spirit is buried beneath
those human masks of terror and sorrow, and hidden deep
within the frustrating and challenging life experiences you have
been having.

As to evil: Never seek pain, never inflict pain on others, and

never work towards getting more pain. Nevertheless, you must
understand that sometimes pain comes along with necessary and
important evolutionary/transformative experiences. We spend
entirely too much mental and emotional energy pushing painful
experiences away, or wishing we had never had any painful experi-
ences. When you experience pain, don’t waste any energy denying
it is there. Immediately accept the fact that you are having a painful
experience and get right to work resolving the situation.
Accepting the existence of pain does not mean we should permit
the pain to continue hurting us. It simply indicates that we should
acknowledge the fact that something hurts, and put all available
resources into resolving the painful situation with virtuous actions.

- 62 -
The sooner we get away from the human games of victimization
and self-persecution, the faster we can get to the root of what is
bothering us and start resolving the problem. Our human ego
tends to amplify feelings of pain, hoping to attract attention and
compassion from others. Please develop enough compassion for
your self to release the pressure of pain at the emotional level.
When a painful experience cannot be resolved or the facts of the
situation cannot be changed (like when something irreplaceable
breaks, or when someone we love dies), we are encouraged to
accept it and see it with compassion so we can elevate our percep-
tion of life with Love. Everything happens for a reason; this is
especially true when we are aware that we are responsible for our
own experiences.

In any case, take the time to embrace every experience you have
with Love and compassion. Get in touch with your emotions;
instead of fearing pain, taste it inside you. Breathe into it. Be
conscious and aware of your experience. When someone touches
you gently, consciously feel it physically and emotionally. When
you are touched aggressively, do the same. When you are the
subject of the opinions of others, whether they tell you how good
you are or how bad you are, embrace the opinion without
judgment, but with compassion. There is only experience, and it is
always a perfect experience.

 KAI Technique

Interlace all of your fingers, with the tip of each fin-

ger pressing into the root of the facing finger.

Chakra: Heart
Mantra jp: On no-o ma ku san man da ba sa ra dan kan
Mantra sk: Om namah samanta vajranam ham

The Heart chakra is the perceptive and emitting organ of the soul.
As you bring your hands together in the KAI mudra, as you chant
the prayer of KAI, remember that you are honoring your
consciousness, your spirit, at the level of the Buddha or the
Christ-consciousness. Bring yourself into a state of gratitude for
everything that happens. Whether your experience is good or bad,
pleasant or not, it does not matter, just focus on the good things
that happen to you, no matter what.

Feel that your heart is a round luminous perceptive organ vibrat-

ing with Love. Don’t give it a specific shape; let it reveal itself to
you, since the shape is subtle and not as important as the state of

- 64 -
mind you put yourself into. Focus on gratitude and happiness. See
the vibration of your loving heart radiate in front of you and
behind you from your back, while your heart chakra glows with
Love.

All that you perceive is Love, the only comments you emit are
Love. As you inhale, focus on your gratitude for everything that
you have, for everything that happens to you. While you pray, you
are honoring the greatness of your experience, the flavor of all
things that you can taste as human and Spirit.

This technique conditions your heart and mind to think from the
stance of Love so you will naturally develop compassion. It will
elevate your perception of life and assist you in manifesting
enjoyable experiences, while accepting whatever happens. Another
side-effect is that your intuition will naturally become more
obvious. You will become more sensible to life’s events as you
condition yourself to accept whatever happens without judgment.
The only judgment that you can apply to your experiences is
“I Love You”, and most of the time, the YOU is yourself.

 Kuji-in Meditation

With Kuji-In, we wish to attain a state of transcendence, to allow

our consciousness to go to the plane of existence from which it
originates and to remain there for a while. When this process is
complete, our consciousness returns to us with spiritual light and
“new information” specifically meant for us. In meditation we
tend to lose our awareness of what actually happens when we
transcend. Therefore, when we are performing Kuji-In techniques,
we use a special physical and mental technique to retain our aware-
ness of the physical plane, while simultaneously allowing our
consciousness to achieve the state of transcendence. Begin to
practice transcending in simple meditation, and then practice
remaining aware while you transcend. This ability to remain aware
is encouraged by performing a combination of physical
movements and energy movements before the meditation or
Kuji-In practice.

Before doing a motionless (or almost motionless) technique like

Kuji-In, you may start with a series of moving Qi-Gong tech-
niques to get your energy moving, to stretch your body, to awak-
en your mind, and to activate your breathing and blood flow.
These exercises will help you perform the motionless techniques
longer and with more efficiency. You can either perform the
Dance of the Dragon, or Chinese Medical Qi-Gong right before
you sit down to meditate or start your Kuji-In practice. It is impor-
tant to remain awake while you meditate, and these exercises will

- 66 -
help you so that you do not fall asleep during your practice peri-
od. When you achieve the state of transcendence, your awareness
might drift in and out, but you are not sleeping. You will under-
stand the difference with practice.

Sometimes, it is recommended that you practice Kuji-In

techniques in a meditative fashion, instead of the usual active-
invocative style. To use Kuji-In meditatively, sit and cross your
legs, either in full lotus, half lotus, or with your right ankle over
your left. Use a chair only if it would otherwise compromise your
comfort. Keep your spine straight without putting conscious
effort into the task. Allow your head to tilt forward a bit, but not
to fall completely forward onto your chest. Practice all of the
Kuji-In steps up to the one you are currently working on;
continue to do your current exercise for a while. When you get to
this Kuji-In technique (the one you are currently learning), allow
the mantra to become very repetitive, then slowly shift into silent
mental repetition, and hold your visualization effortlessly while
breathing naturally, let your eyes close a bit, and just relax into the
technique. Your hands may be lowered so that they rest on your
legs; your focus may be shifted to the associated chakra, and you
may allow yourself to gaze inward at your Spirit. Reduce every
aspect of the technique until all parts of it (mudra, mantra,
mandala, and chakra) are only whispered inside of you, to keep a
little light in your mind while you let yourself go into the state of
transcendence. Eventually, only the mantra will remain, slowly and
softly repeated in your mind.

- 67 -
Remain in this very calm state for at least 15 minutes. You mind
will be disturbed by small interruptions the first few times. This is
an essential process that your mind has to go thru. It is a kind of
cleaning up of your residual thoughts. Allow all your thoughts to
wander, to go as they please, do not force them to be still, but do
not encourage them either. When you notice you are drifting back
into some thought process, gently return to the Kuji-In technique.
Your physical body might also want to express itself through
motion. The energy circuitry not used for meditation will produce
unexpected itches, tickles, and perhaps even little cramps in your
muscles. Attend to these physical annoyances ONLY if your com-
fort is really compromised. Each time you have a physical reaction
to meditation, it means the energy is working on you and it is a
good sign. Let the energy work to reduce the noise in your circuit-
ry while you continue to focus on your meditation.

When you are used to doing 15 minutes of meditation daily,

extend your practice time to 20, then 25, then 30 minutes.
Meditation will train your mind to reduce extraneous chatter and
noise, it will help you to let go. It will permit your body to become
a suitable vessel for Spirit to interact with. The technique teaches
your human aspect to accept your spiritual aspect so that all of
your techniques will become much more efficient. While you will
retain the awareness of your human existence, your consciousness
will soon expand to include your spiritual existence.

 JIN
JIN Way of Life

JIN has to do with developing perfect knowledge of self. Its

power is accessed by our ability to listen and speak perfectly. As a
side-effect of that ability to listen and speak perfectly, you might
develop the psychic ability of telepathy. JIN requires listening at
every level, and the ability to speak from every level. It is a life-
long process to develop this ability, but you will immediately feel
the enhancement in your life the moment you start paying atten-
tion to the JIN attitude in your everyday behavior. The JIN way of
life takes the longest to develop of all the Kuji-In Techniques and
it produces the most powerful results. It offers you an access to
higher levels of consciousness, as well as an ability to transform
your human experience into something greater. It comprises
everything you have learned so far, experienced at the level of
hearing and speech.

Perfect your ability to listen. The first obstruction to true listening

is our need to compare ourselves to others, to establish ourselves
as superior. Everyone has this superiority complex; it is genetic; we
are born this way. Don’t bother trying to argue, “I’m not like that”
because you are like that, and you will find out how true that is in
the following lines: Our minds are conditioned to believe we hold
the truth, and that our actual conception of truth is the best for
us at the moment, which often leads us to degrade any knowledge
that does not fit into our pre-establish scheme of beliefs and
thought processes. Almost every time you say “I already know

- 69 -
that”, you have cut off your ability to learn anything further, by
naturally blocking everything that might have been new to you,
(since you are certain you already know it all).

It is recommended that you make yourself available to new infor-

mation. It does not mean you will have to automatically accept
whatever you hear as truth for you, but without the ability to be
open to new ideas, you are certain to block out anything that could
help you progress. If you deduce that some specific knowledge
does not apply to you, or does not fit you at the moment, you will
have plenty of time later to discard it. At the moment you are lis-
tening to someone else, remain available to the knowledge they are
trying to impart.

As with the RIN mind-set, trust yourself and let down your guard.
Respect all knowledge that is spoken every time it is spoken, what-
ever level it is spoken from, no matter who is addressing you. Pay
attention to the way you listen, and grow from there. Listen to
those who say stupid things to you; listen to those who tell you
that you are a good person; listen to everyone and everything and
trust yourself that, in the end, all will be well.

As with the KYO mind-set, be responsible for what you are.

Develop your discernment, a sense of good judgment that will
allow you to acquire only that knowledge which is best for you. If
someone says you are stupid, before discarding that knowledge,
seek inside of you to see if there is a place inside you where you
are stupid. If you do your job well, you will certainly find a place
such as this. By admitting that there is such a place to yourself, you
will not react to this knowledge; you will be in acceptance of what

- 70 -
you are. By getting out of the way of the information, the
communication can continue in such a way that it resolves what-
ever provoked the comment.

Another important part of the KYO mind-set is also to admit to

yourself that you are a good person when someone says that. It is
important to accept both compliments and complaints. You are
the one responsible for processing the knowledge and it is up to
you to make the best of it.

As with the TOH mind-set, develop tolerance for what you hear,
listen with care and lower your defenses. Do not rush to reply, to
react, defend and to confront. When it is your turn to speak,
speak. When it is your turn to listen, remain receptive and accept
everything that is said. Accepting what is said is not an admission
or approval of what is said to you. Acceptance allows you to
acknowledge what is said, at the level it is said from, and does not
imply that you must become or believe what is said to you.

As with the SHA mind-set, believe, know and understand that

knowledge is power. Do not attempt to control the exchange
of knowledge until it is your turn to define the exchange of
knowledge. The knowledge will usually flow naturally in whatever
direction it must, and when you notice the knowledge leads
nowhere, or becomes too provocative, take full responsibility, and
manifest a return to peaceful communication.

As you learned in the KAI mind-set, do not judge what you hear.
Practice having a compassionate ear, and listening with love. If
information is addressed to you, accept this new experience. Try

- 71 -
to prevent yourself from perceiving only pain where there seems
to be pain. Understand that pain is only painful at the level at
which it is perceived; know that it is painful at that level, admit it
is painful, then focus on the experience itself without judgment.

That’s a lot of things to remember in the art of perfecting your

listening skills! Let’s move on to the art of perfecting your speech.

When you practiced RIN, you learned to adopt the attitude of

trusting your right to speak, as well as your ability to speak. Never
capitulate! You have to right to express yourself, but it does not
imply that you must get your point of view across at any cost. It
does not imply that you should battle until your vision of the
information is assimilated by others; they have the right to their
opinions too. It simply means that your spoken words have value,
at least to yourself and your divinity. This being said, do not waste
your precious speech when it is not being received. Trust yourself;
before anything else, trust yourself.

As you learned in your studies of the KYO mind-set, take respon-

sibility for what you say. Never lie by commission or omission;
never be deceitful. To lie in whatever form is to condition your
mind to believe that what you say is false and should not be man-
ifested. This is a very poor habit to get into, if you hope to train
your mind to manifest what you desire. Therefore, always speak
the truth, so that your mind is conditioned to trusting that what
you say is true. Eventually, as you develop your powers of mani-
festation, you will say something and it will become true and man-
ifest, if it is not already true. However, before you can manifest

- 72 -
what you speak, you must establish this relationship of trust with
your mind, by only speaking the truth. If you said something that
implies you owe someone a service, act upon it and render the
service, or affirm your incompetence and inform the concerned
people that the service will not be rendered. Never allow a prom-
ise to be spoken that you do not fulfill according to your spoken
word. Say “I Love You” only if it is true, but do not prevent
yourself from saying it if such is genuinely the case. (Note: Do not
be in a hurry to destroy your life, or your chances for happiness.)

As you learned with the TOH mind-set, be humble in choosing

your words. Humility doesn’t mean you have to suffer in silence.
Most people confuse humility with shame or submission to
someone who is exerting dominating control. Humility means that
you are to remain in truth. If something should be said, then it
must be said, and if something should not be said, then it must not
be spoken. Some information serves a higher purpose when it is
retained and other information is more useful when it is
exchanged. To become Wise, one must develop a great discern-
ment, especially in the choice of words, and whether to speak
them or not.

As you learned with the SHA mind-set, always express yourself in

a way that will lead to the accomplishment of your goal. Be
powerful in your speech. Your words can become powerful by
being whispered in the ears of a lover, or shouted at players on the
game field (to encourage, not discourage), or elegantly recited on
a stage, or pedagogically spoken from the dais in a lecture to a stu-
dent. In every case, your words are to be clear and must always

- 73 -
represent that which you wish to express. Practice using words as
they are meant to be used; consider their meanings carefully and
choose wisely. Do not hide behind sarcasm, lies, manipulations, or
controversial arguments. Allow your words to express the power
generated through your speech.

As you learned with the KAI mind-set, speak words of compas-

sion and love. Do not express judgments and destructive criticism.
Use your speech to express enlightenment and to bring enlighten-
ment to yourself. Say beautiful things, and if this is hardly possible
at certain times, at least say the truth. Do not degrade or lower the
value of anyone, of anything, or any experience. If something
does not fit you, there is always a good choice of words that will
serve to rectify your experience. If there is no way to change what
you are experiencing, it is useless to brag or complain about it
unless it is to do self-therapy; self-therapy must make you a better
person, in your heart. Express yourself when you are
in pain, say the truth at the level you perceive it, but do not
encourage the ego to play the victim game and do not amplify any
situation with your words. Whenever possible, say happy words,
funny jokes, accompanied with a smile, and define your life as a
happy loving life. Life is meant to be enjoyed.

 JIN Technique

Interlace all your fingers, with your fingertips inside,

each of them touching the equivalent tip of the
other hand’s finger, if possible.

Chakra: Throat
Mantra jp: On aga na ya in ma ya sowaka
Mantra sk: Om agnayaa yanmayaa swaha

Practice the JIN Kuji-In technique in its invocative manner, and

listen to the words as you speak them. Listen to the physical vibra-
tion of the words. Notice that you are simultaneously speaking
and listening to yourself. This is the obvious and simple part. After
a few repetitions of paying attention to the actual words, begin to
listen to more than one level at the same time. Listen to the
physical level of vibration, and pay attention to the energy level of
the words, the ethereal existence of the words you are speaking.
Pay attention to both the physical and energetic level of the
spoken mantra as you repeat it. Imagine that you are saying it at
both levels. Using your visualization, imagine that there are many
strata of vibrations layered one over the other, one inside the
other, at the physical and energetic levels.

- 75 -
Speak simultaneously on both levels of vibration, and then listen
to yourself at both these levels.

When you really feel you are speaking and listening at the energetic
level, imagine a third layer of sound vibration in your mind with-
out defining the specific level where it exists; just know that it is at
a still higher level of vibration than the levels you were previously
focused on. Once you feel you have imagined that level, continue
to imagine more and more layers of sound, one over the other,
one inside the other, without attempting to control the experience.
Allow your experience to lead you. Vibrate the mantra at many
levels of vibration, and listen to the many levels of vibration. At
first, the most important part was to listen to the physical and
energetic levels, even if that didn’t really seem to work for you.
Next, you must practice letting go of your control over the expe-
rience and focus on your multi-level connection with the sound
vibrations.

- 76 -
 RETSU
RETSU Way of Life

While you are gaining spiritual knowledge about yourself, you may
begin to perceive that you are made out of different aspects of the
same thing, (different levels of your existence as a human and spir-
itual entity). This awareness is triggered by the JIN technique and
the activation of the throat chakra. Now that you are becoming
aware of such realities, you might want to access them, to
penetrate the different levels of consciousness, and the multiple
space-time dimensions that comprise the Universe, each existing
at their own frequency. RETSU opens the doorway which is found
at the base of your skull. It sits inside the pointy bone at the back
of the head. It is called the “Jade Gate”. Thru this doorway, you
may become aware of the spiritual realities and the forces behind
all movements. It is the doorway between quantum physics and
alchemy.

Let’s say you are listening to a new song, one that you have never
heard before, and you really like it. Your attitude is focused on that
new song; perhaps you are caught up in your enthusiasm for the
song, and you would not like to be disturbed by any other sounds
around you. You are enjoying the rapture of discovering
something new. This state of “availability” is blessed, since you are
paying attention with joy to a new feeling, something you had not
previously experienced. Once you listen to the song a few times,
you might start to sing along with it, because you are really enjoy-
ing the song, yet, at the same time, you soon discover that your

- 77 -
singing hinders this state of “availability”. As soon as you started
singing you became active, involved in the event, and thus control-
ling it. When you are active and controlling, you are not paying
attention to the original song anymore. Obviously, when you are
listening to a recorded song, it is something that is set in a specif-
ic and permanent pattern, it will not change, (the song will repeat
over and over the same way). However, what would it be like for
you if the song changed every time you heard it? What if it altered
over time, producing new feelings in you, endlessly resulting in
new discoveries? If such were the case, you would not sing over
the song. You would keep on listening and paying attention.

I am pointing a specific state of mind that permits us to always be

open to new discoveries, and, from that state, to discover what is
before us: the changing, evolving, ever fresh world, experienced in
joy. As children, we were almost permanently in this state of mind,
rapt with enthusiasm at each discovery. If there were no discov-
eries at hand, we were filled with hope that one would soon come
our way. This joy, this ability to be astonished at every little thing,
this enthusiasm, is a necessary part of our spiritual attitude. Are
you honestly astonished at the marvels of creation when you look
at the corner of your dining room table? Are you speechless with
astonishment before the miracle of your wonderful plastic fake-
grass carpet? I am encouraging you to rediscover this ability to be
impressed by all those things we take for granted. Once in a while,
immerse yourself in something mundane. For example, gaze at the
grain of something made of wood; be intentionally astonished at
how it came to be so beautiful; give in and over-conceptualize
about the flow of the One Life Force that created it.

- 78 -
Using this joyful attitude of discovery, pay attention to the differ-
ent planes of existence, to the ebb and flow of energy around you,
as well as to your own physical movements. Try to see those space-
time dimensions you have been ignoring. It will probably take a
while for you to start discerning them, but that is not the goal. The
goal is simply to be able to be touched by the creation of God,
thus accepting that there are realities that you are not yet aware of,
thus releasing the control you constantly hold over your perceptive
senses. This exercise will eventually make it possible for you to
discern the many levels of consciousness and planes of existence.
There is a time for listening, a time for speaking and a time for
action. For now, simply listen without speaking, look without
anticipating the next image, feel without moving around, and
simply pay attention to the flow of creation, with joy.

Once the door (your Jade Gate) opens, the physical and spiritual
space-time dimensions will reveal themselves to you. The laws of
creation and manifestation will unveil themselves before your eyes.
You will not have to work hard at it; you will simply be paying
attention, available to anything new that comes into your field of
awareness.

- 79 -
 RETSU Technique

Point your left index finger up. Wrap the fingers of

your right hand around your left index finger. Place
the tips of your right thumb and index finger in
contact with the tip of your left index finger. The
fingers of your left hand are gathered into a fist.

Chakra: Jade Gate, at the back of the head

Mantra jp: On hi ro ta ki sha no ga ji ba tai sowaka
Mantra sk: Om jyotihi chandoga jiva tay swaha

While RETSU seems to be the simplest of all techniques, it is the

one our human ego fights the most at the beginning. If you
persist, your ego soon yields, collaborating with you on your path
to assimilating new discoveries.

Perform the RETSU Kuji-In ritual technique. During the first

step, do not visualize anything, simply focus on the designated
areas. For the first 3 to 9 mantras, pay attention to the Jade Gate,
at the base of your skull. For the next 3 to 9 mantras, maintain
your focus on the Jade Gate, simultaneously placing some of your
attention on the middle of your back, between your shoulder

- 80 -
blades, at the back of the heart charka. During the next 3 to 9
mantras, focus on all 3 areas, paying attention to the Jade Gate, the
area at the back of your heart chakra, and your base chakra. Next,
take a few deep silent breaths while maintaining your focus on all
three (3) areas.

Finally, let go of all the visualizations, forget everything. Perform

the ritual practice without any visualization, without counting
…simply pay attention. Do not analyze, do not visualize, do not
focus, do not take command, let yourself go. Pay attention to
those dimensions that you don’t normally perceive, even though
you can’t imagine what they would be like. Don’t imagine them;
don’t invent them, simply pay attention. Do not force the previous
focal points to close or open, to diminish or increase, simply allow
everything to occur however it will. Do not get angry at your
body’s reaction, nor fight the images popping into your head,
simply let everything go.

This technique produces results every time, but you won’t see
those results for quite a while.

 ZAI
ZAI Way of Life

ZAI is the path that leads beyond the illusion, takes you behind the
veil, revealing the process of creation from which the experience
of our human lives will inevitably unfold. It is from behind the veil
that the creative forces of the Universe dance together, uniting to
manifest the true desires that we have at the highest level of
consciousness, (from the point of view of our Spirit). It is that
place in our consciousness where we control what happens to us,
whether we are aware of it or not.

Most of us spend our entire lives subject to Karmic Law,

ignorantly living under the rule that yields shocking returns for our
negative actions; it is under this rule that we continuously experi-
ence the consequences of our previous actions; and it is by our
reactions to those actions that we keep the karmic wheel spinning.
From this human point of view of our existence, we believe that
what we desire, from our personal and individual role as human
beings is what we really desire at all levels of our being. This error
ignores the level of Spirit, which is ultimately the guiding force of
our lives, and to which we are subject. In other words, simply put,
it is our Spirit that “judges” us and that metes out our Karma so
that we may evolve. Our human desires are subject to, and limit-
ed by the laws of nature, the instinct of survival, the rules of ani-
mal behavior. The Spirit is not limited in this way and can see the
Grand Design. Yet, we are not to despise our own needs and
wants. All that we seem to desire as a human is still good for us,

- 83 -
since it serves our present human experience. We must accept our-
selves as we are in our actual condition if we are to acquire a high-
er level of comprehension of our existence. By comprehending
the position of the self to the Spirit, and accepting the role of
each, it is possible to evolve. That said, for students on a spiritual
path, it is important to pay more attention to our spiritual exis-
tence.

What we seek on the path of ZAI is to become aware of the act

of creation that we constantly use (on the Spiritual level) in total
free will. With absolute free will, we can manifest all that we truly
wish for, simply by desiring it at the level of Spirit. With free will,
we are free, and our will becomes reality. The creative elements of
the Universe naturally agglomerate around the desires of an awak-
ened Spirit; this causes the desires to become denser, and more
material until they become available to the human experience
(manifest as reality).

Unfortunately, our free will is usually buried under the weight of

our egotistical need to control everything. We must accept this fact
if we are to elevate ourselves beyond it; we must not use this as a
reason to remain limited by our human behaviors. We must be
courageous, face the unknown and become aware of our existence
as Spirit. As human animals, we are subject to the laws of the
Universe. As Divine Spirits, even though we are enmeshed in daily
human experience, we have a “human share” of Divine power that
is available to us at anytime. It takes some practice, wisdom, deter-
mination and faith to apply the techniques that will eventually lead
to our power to create.

- 84 -
All the Kuji-In techniques that we have learned up to now
have served this ultimate goal: to give us back our Divine power,
including: our faith, our self-love, and the tools we need to inter-
act with the Universe and to create our reality in conformity with
our desire. By using these Kuji-In techniques, we have learned to
be in charge, to accept the truth as it is, yet to change it anyway.
We have practiced observing our experience and learned to work
at making it better. Even though we remain the cause of our own
deception (each time we blame others for what happens to us) by
taking back our responsibility for everything that we experience,
we are freeing our minds from the hold of the ego that believes
IT has control over our destiny. This awakening releases our
Divine free will, and permits our initial power of manifestation to
occur naturally with harmony between Spirit and Consciousness.

Even though all spiritual seekers are anxious to become the

ultimate creators of their own lives, it is not wise to rush into
formulating desires for our Spirit to fulfill, because, in these first
attempts, it would only be our ego trying to impose its vision on
our Spirit (once again). Our Spirit, out of respect for our free will,
would gladly accept those newly formulated ego-contrived-goals,
letting us fall (once again) into the need to suffer from the
negative fallout of our limited experience and understanding. Our
human ego is actually our best friend (and a good teacher) on the
spiritual path, but we must not allow our human identity to pro-
claim itself as Divine. God will be God in ITS own experience of
ITSELF, and our Spirit already has a plethora of wonderful desires
for us, ready to manifest in our lives at any time, with abundance
and joy, directly from the realm where we are all one with God.

- 85 -
This can only happen when we accept that, as humans, we are not
in control. We will have control over our lives only by elevating our
definition of ourselves. The ZAI way of life consists of working
with our mind, heart and body in order to define ourselves as a
Spirit that is having a human experience, rather than a human
being sometimes having a spiritual experience. Do not make the
mistake of discarding your human identity, the results would be
disastrous. Instead, remember that your human identity is a neces-
sary part of your experience of yourself as a Spirit, and that it is
from the point of view of the Spirit that everything has occurred
right from your birth. Only a human is arrogant enough to try to
eradicate himself from God’s design, but God knows us, God
created us, and man cannot eradicate himself; it is best to accept
the plan, understand the plan, and to come into harmony what it
is. God sees through our eyes. Even though we are bemoaning our
fate, God does not see separation or conflict while watching this
journey though our eyes. It is merely the ego that gets upset when
it realizes that the idea that it was ever in charge of anything is
mere illusion. Redefine yourself as a Divine being experiencing
human life, and cherish your human experience; each life experi-
ence has great value. The human identity you have forged over
time is the treasure that you bring to your Divine Self as you
awaken to your spiritual existence. It is who you truly are.
Whatever you do, whatever you know or think you know, you are
still YOU and you have never stopped, nor will you ever stop
being yourself. It is only your point of view that changes. The level
at which you perceive yourself evolves. At the same time, as Spirit,
you are in charge of everything, and you are a servant of your
human self. Now, all you have to do is to decide which point of
view you wish to exist from.

Touch the tips of your thumbs and index fingers to

form a triangle, while your other fingers are spread
out.

Chakra: Third Eye

Mantra jp: On Chi ri Chi i ba ro ta ya sowaka
Mantra sk: Om srija iva rtaya swaha

sRija : sh-ree-j with an almost mute “ee” after the R

Rtaya: Rutaya with an almost mute “u” after the R

The Universe is composed of many levels of vibration resulting

from a single holy experience. We have practiced gently closing
one realm of reality, so that we could pay attention to the many
other realms, physical to spiritual, that are part of our existence.
Now, it is time to look at the Creator’s work of art and to observe
the Grand Plan. Pay attention to the dance of the elements used
to create the Universe. ZAI is a prayer for a revelation of truth.
ZAI asks that your Spirit show you what you are in totality, as well
as what the Universe is and how it operates.

- 87 -
The original elements, of which everything is made, assemble
themselves and condense according to the laws governing the
spiritual act of manifestation. The traditional (and widespread)
belief is that a side effect of this Kuji-In technique might eventu-
ally be the ability to influence some of nature’s manifestations,
such as the movement of rain and wind. However, those details
fall into the global scope of becoming the “Creator” again. Don’t
waste time trying to make it rain unless it is necessary for your
training. A true master never, or rarely cares about such details.
The ZAI technique is meant to get us back in touch with our
ability to create. It is not the operation of manifestation in itself
with which we are concerned here. The actual method of manifes-
tation will naturally follow the initial reconciliation of our human
identity with its Spiritual authority. For now, we can’t build if we
don’t have the tools.

You never know how a revelation will occur. We do not have

human control over such spiritual events. Perform the ZAI
Kuji-In while you focus on your third eye, and simply get in touch
with the free elements of creation at the spiritual level, as well as
their denser counterparts on the human and physical levels. After
a shorter or more extended period of time, which depends on
how elevated a point of view you attained during your practice, a
revelation may occur to you and you will know a bit more about
yourself and the Universe.

 Where Human and Spirit Touch

Compassion is our human ability to see the lesson in a painful

human experience and, while we understand the painful experi-
ence, having compassion means that we wish to support the one
afflicted by it and to offer them comfort. Sometimes we are the
human who is in need of comfort and compassion; therefore, in a
painful situation, we may justifiably offer compassion to our own
human heart. This process is one way we have found of bringing
some comfort to ourselves, even though we still wish to resolve
the pain by developing a correct understanding of the situation
and undertaking a series of rectifying actions.

The highest and purest emotion a human being can feel is com-
passion, which comes from your most holy experience of life;
when you attain the ultimate devotion to the highest good for
yourself, from a state of pure Love, you have achieved the emo-
tion of compassion.

The most horrible, dense, degraded, separated, painful, destructive

and darkest emotion a Spirit can feel is… compassion.

Compassion is the lowest point of the Spirit and the highest point
of the human, and it is at that juncture where they meet and
become one. Compassion is therefore the doorway to power, the
ultimate link between the Divine and human world. It is there, at
the place where we experience compassion that the exchange
between Spirit and human is the most powerful. When this con-
nection is made, the powerful flow from above and below is
unblocked, and is allowed to flow freely in both directions.

- 89 -
From the human point of view, compassion is the point of view
where pain cannot possibly exist, where all painful and pleasurable
sensations are merely felt as information about our human experi-
ences. It is the place where we look at our entire human experience
and see only the lessons of love. It is from that place that a human
being can understand the point of view of Spirit.

For Spirit, compassion is the point of view where pain might

possibly exist, where all the information which is felt as a result of
our human experience could become tainted with the polarity of
good and evil, pleasure and pain. It is from that place that Spirit
can grasp the totality of human experience, and embrace it with
love and understanding.

Learn what it is to have compassion. Learn how to act with

compassion. Practice switching your point of view from an afflict-
ed human to a comprehensive Spirit, and, even then, continue to
step into action to resolve unwanted human experiences. Do not
deny your own pain under the false pretext that you are above it.
Simply switch point of views, and the pain will transform itself
over time.

 ZEN
ZEN Way of Life

Step 1
ZEN’s way of life is a challenging proposition and will require
quite a long time before you are able to attain proficiency with the
technique. Nevertheless, even your initial attempts to practice this
technique will transform your life. Fixity meditation is adequate,
by itself, to assist you in becoming aware of the spiritual aspects
of your life, so that you can feel the energies in your body when
you return from your meditative state.

Practice meditation often. You should meditate a few minutes

after each Kuji-In practice. In fact, you should consider adding
meditation to your daily routine, even if you are only able to do it
for a few minutes every day. The more you meditate, the faster
your growth will occur hereafter. Meditate 10 minutes, 20 minutes,
even 30 minutes at a sitting. Practice keeping your body in a
meditative state for longer and longer periods of time. When
meditating, hold still as long as you can without paying attention
to the little physical disturbances: itching, cramps, tingling.

The more you meditate, the more powerful your ability to

manifest what you think and desire will become. Thus, when you
return to an awake and aware state, focus only on the things you
wish for, or on the things that make you happy. Discarding this
rule can turn your life into a living hell, while respecting this rule
can turn it into heaven.

- 91 -
Fixity meditation
Fixity Meditation consists of gazing at something without really
look at it. Fixity can be performed by focusing on a point in front
of you, or on the floor a little ways away. You may recite a mantra
mentally to keep your mind focused and to profit from the effects
of the mantra. You may drop off using the mantra anywhere in
the meditation, as soon as you are sure that you can maintain a
state of mental inactivity and are able to keep your gaze fixed on
whatever you have chosen. I recommend a blank wall.

A simple fixity meditation:

- Begin with the breathing technique of your choice
for 2 minutes.
- Use a mental mantra of your choice for 2 to 5 minutes.
- Practice fixity, eyes opened, using no mantra, from 5 to 45
minutes. No mind, no word, no image.

After you have put in some time and practice, you will realize that
your consciousness has been in an altered state, because of the
changes in consciousness you feel when you come out of the
meditative state. The ultimate goal of meditation is to transcend
consciousness and yet, to remain conscious at the same time.
However, you must train your body and mind to transcend con-
sciousness one step at a time.

The first sign of a successful meditation is the slumber that hap-

pens naturally when you relax so much that you let your body go
to sleep while spiritual energies enter your energy channels. Your
body will fall asleep and you will feel sleepy when you return to
consciousness. This means that you slept and did not transcend.

- 92 -
Still, it is a good thing since it is a normal part of the practice. At
this point your body and energy channels are getting used to
receiving spiritual energies. Do what you can to remain awake
while you meditate, but slumber is inevitable at first.

After you have practiced this exercise for a while you will no
longer succumb to sleep. You may lose consciousness for a
moment or two, but you will always return to your bodily aware-
ness and then immediately notice that your body maintained its
posture all by itself. You will also notice that you do not feel sleepy.
This is because you did not fall asleep, so you are not waking up.
You will feel that your consciousness is altered in some way; you
will feel light, energetic and ready to go on with your daily affairs.

You will quickly become comfortable being in an altered state of

consciousness and you will also become increasingly aware of the
spiritual sensations in your physical body. Eventually, you might
notice that the altered consciousness and spiritual sensations
occur, but you did not lose consciousness at all during the entire
meditation. This means you transcended consciously and that you
have achieved a great transformation in your body. You will prob-
ably alternate between conscious and unconscious transcendence
from one meditation to the next, depending on your level of
fatigue and state of mind. Do not worry about it, only illumed
masters transcend consciously at will.

- 93 -
Step 2
The second step of ZEN’s way, is to maintain yourself in this
spiritual attitude as long as possible, while, at the same time,
remaining totally conscious of your physical reality. Attempt to
maintain a spiritual attitude in all of your actions, at every
moment.

When you complete a meditation or spiritual technique, try to

remain in the altered state of consciousness resulting from your
meditation, but ground yourself in your physical body as much as
possible. You will want to adopt an attitude which permits your
Spirit to inhabit your body at all times. This requires that you are
able to achieve a meditative state at the same time that you are
focusing on the physical actions you must perform. Move slowly
at first, repeat your mantra mentally if needed.

You may feel a bit dizzy from time to time. You may also have the
odd experience of feeling that you don’t belong in this reality. You
might have short moments of intense distraction or even lose
consciousness of the physical plane of reality for a few seconds.
You will need to develop an attitude where it is wonderful to have
a physical body and live in this world, as this is something that is
very difficult to do while transcending. This is why you must be
careful and work on this technique at appropriate times, in appro-
priate places.

Do not try to work on a meditative or spiritual technique while

you are driving a car, or when a transcendent state could cause
injury to yourself or someone else. Do not practice this technique
while you are working at a construction site. Never do it at work,

- 94 -
where your efficiency might be hindered by a momentary
transcendence. Apply this technique only whenever you can
permit yourself to lose focus for a few seconds. The ultimate goal
is to practice remaining spiritually transcendent at all times, but it
is best to begin with the safest environment and the most relaxed
practice period. Never put yourself in situations where you could
injure yourself or others. Do not do this technique when you are
with too many people, or when you could be judged by others if
you transcend in public. Keep your practices for yourself and
apply this technique when it is easy to apply, where there will be
no negative consequence as a result of the possible reactions of
your body and mind to the technique.

 ZEN technique

Rest your left knuckles on the fingers of your right

hand, with your right palm open. Touch the tips of
your two thumbs gently.

Chakra: Crown
Mantra jp: On a ra ba sha no-o sowaka
Mantra sk: Om ah ra pa cha na dhi

It is believed that your chakra system and the central energy

channel of your body are very much like a conduit that allows
energy to flow in and out of your energy system. It is easy to imag-
ine a series of tubes with energy flowing into us and out of us. We
may leap to the conclusion that, if something can flow through
this conduit, it must be empty, but this erroneous deduction is the
result of the stilted observations available to us as a result of the
restricted data from our limited senses and our limited experience.

Your chakra system and what we call its central channel are not
channels at all. The nature of your chakra system is greatly

- 96 -
superior to a series of wires and tubes: in fact your chakra system
is made out of “consciousness”. The chakra system is not a
physical body, nor it is a hose through which energy runs; it is a
conscious spirit which resides at the core of your body.

Each chakra is a state of consciousness that is designed to sample

the different flavors and experiences of life. Each chakra is a sen-
sory instrument of the soul which is extended into our physical
body so that our Spirit can experience life at every level. Energy
resonates thru the chakras, rather than flowing through them.

For example, in a radio speaker, electricity is used to vibrate a mag-

net, which in turn makes the air vibrate, generating sound. There
are no actual electrons or pieces of the magnet flying around for
us to hear; what we hear are intangible vibrations. With regard to
eyesight, we perceive photoelectric radiations emitted from the
sun or a light bulb, but there are no chunks of light bulbs or
hydrogen particles in fusion flying around that our eyeballs grab
onto somehow. We SEE because our eyes respond to vibrations,
the vibration of photons.

It is correct to say that energy, in the form of Qi, Jing and Shen,
flows thru our energy system, into our energy meridians. It is also
correct to say that energy flows through our chakras. But our
chakras are not tubes; they are not hollow; they are not empty; yet
they are not filled either; they are levels of “consciousness”.

The ZEN technique is simple. Perform the Kuji-In practice while

paying attention to the consciousness inside you, rather than the
energy in your body.

- 97 -
Begin this technique by focusing only on your breathing. Sustain
enough mental awareness of the ritual technique that you are able
to keep up with the (mudra, mantra, mandala), but focus mainly
on your breathing for a few minutes.

Pay attention to your entire physical body for another few minutes,
and then focus on your feelings and emotions for a few minutes.
If you have no sensation of feelings or emotions (good, you are
at peace) then concentrate your attention on the process of feel-
ing your mental body. Continue putting your attention on your
mind and mental activity. Do not encourage any particular
thoughts; simply focus on your mental body, the concept of think-
ing, the actual processes themselves.

Finally, pay attention to your consciousness, your spirit, your soul

or whatever notion of your spiritual existence you can grasp.
Slowly drop each aspect of the Kuji-In technique, one after the
other. Drop the mudra and place your hands on your lap or in
meditation position, as you continue the meditation. Slowly repeat
the prayer mantra mentally, and gaze. Be aware of yourself as
Spirit. Become your consciousness and let yourself transcend in
meditation.

Proceeding through the levels of breathing, bodily awareness,

feeling, mental awareness and spiritual awareness, you have
climbed the ladder of awareness up through the different states of
consciousness of your body and self, to that place where you can
finally praise the Divine Spirit that you are.

- 98 -
 The 9-Day Kuji-in Meditative Process

Each day for nine straight days, at approximately the same time
each day, perform the following ritual using only one Kuji-in step
per day:

- Active Qi-Gong technique of your choice, 2 minutes.

- Air and Energy Breathing technique, 2 minutes.
- Daily Kuji-In technique, invocative, 2 minutes.
- Daily Kuji-In technique, meditative, 15-20 minutes.
- Come back to your conscious awareness and contemplate
silently, 2 minutes.

The first day, you will only use the RIN technique. The second day,
perform RIN only 3 times and then quickly concentrate on the
KYO technique. The third day, perform RIN 3 times, then KYO
3 times, then focus on the TOH technique, and so on until, on the
ninth day, you will perform each technique 3 times and then focus
on the ZEN technique. Perform each technique to the best of
your ability.

The experienced student may either complete the ritual twice daily,
(morning and evening), or you may double the length of time for
each step. This 9-day process will initiate a new level of practice
and understanding of the entire Kuji-In System. As you practice
every nuance of the listening and speaking exercises, you will see
your life transform right before your eyes. You will become hap-
pier and more fulfilled. By remaining available to every type of

- 99 -
knowledge at every level, you will gain much more knowledge than
what is transmitted to you by your five senses. You will learn sim-
ply by listening, by watching, by contemplating, by allowing the
truth to reveal itself to you. When you achieve this level of accom-
plishment, then, when you speak, only beautiful experiences will
occur as a result of what you have said.

 The 63-Hour Kuji-in
Self-Initiation Process
The ultimate Kuji-In experience is usually passed on to a student
in the context of an Initiation which is performed under the
guidance of a Master. However, there are many students who do
not have direct access to a Master in a Temple, yet who may still
desire to have the experience of Initiation. In order to be able to
have a genuine Initiation experience, the student must learn how
to raise their energy sufficiently to enable them to receive
the transformative experience that is a fundamental part of an
authentic Kuji-In Initiation: they must experience the phenomena
of revelation that cannot be expressed with words.

This Initiation experience should not be attempted by any student

until the student is thoroughly conversant with the entire Kuji-In
system. Attempts to rush such a process will be fruitless. However,
for those who have put an earnest effort into learning the steps,
this 63 hour process will produce an astonishing amount of ener-
gy. Although the Initiation process will most certainly produce the
desired transformative effects, this intensive initiatic gauntlet may
also manifest a multitude of unusual physical reactions in the
student. It should therefore be used only when you honestly feel
ready for such an experience. You should terminate the process
the moment you feel: too much pain; a loss of eyesight or hearing
(even for a moment); troubling visions, or if you have any intense-
ly troubling or unbearably painful experience.

- 101 -
When you begin this process, be absolutely certain that you are in
a safe place where you will not be disturbed for the duration of the
Initiation. Set up the area where you will be performing the
Initiation so that you will not be injured if you fall to the floor. Do
not be surprised if you experience a few mild electric shocks and
do not give up at the first sign of discomfort. Please understand
that everyone has a different experience with the Kuji-In
Initiation. In fact, every student has a unique experience with the
entire Kuji-In transformative process because of the diversity of
the traditions and applications which comprise it.

The process is simplicity itself: Practice RIN for 7 hours. This

may be accomplished by performing the RIN Kuji one hour each
day for seven days, or 3.5 hours for two (2) consecutive days, or
continuously for seven (7) hours (all in one day). Once you have
completed the RIN Kuji series, you will do the same for KYO,
TOH, SHA… until you have completed 63 hours of Kuji-In train-
ing in no more than 63 days.

In order for this process to be successful, you should not skip even
one day of practice during the Self-Initiation. However, if you
begin to experience too many uncomfortable physical symptoms,
slow the process down to one hour per day. If you find that even
that is too hard on you, you are not yet ready for the Initiation and
you should return to building up your energy system by using the
normal practice. Once you feel that you are better prepared, you
may re-start the process a few weeks later.

- 102 -
For each practice period you will perform:

- The Active Qi-Gong technique of your choice, 2 minutes.

- Air and Energy Breathing technique, 2 minutes.
- Kuji-In invocative technique (Length determined by your plan).
- Silent contemplation after your practice for the day.

- 103 -

 Conclusion: self-transformation

It has been a while now, that we behave the way we do. It has been
a long time since the beginning of humanity. From the animal
origins of our body, up to the pretentious assertion that we are
sentient and knowledgeable of many great secrets, the genetic
foundation of our human life still has a lot to do with the way we
act, and react.

It will take some effort, and comfort, to become aware of all

that we are, and consciously take back the mastery of our own
experience of life. But we are not alone, and we are not left with-
out help. We firmly hold the tools that will serve us in our quest.
With a balance of practical application and self contemplation, we
will succeed in remembering who we are, by acknowledging the
truth as it is revealed to us from within.

The goal of our path is to transform ourselves, starting down

from our deepest foundations, into the root of our existence, to
free ourselves from our apparent bodily shell and to redefine
ourselves as the glorious living experience of the Spirit. As
we advance on the path, the transformation looks more like a
remembering of what we left behind when we came to be human.
We work ceaselessly to sublimate the inner workings of our mind
and our body; to accept our human animal being as the beauty of
creation, although we thrive to remember our wondrous spiritual
origin.

- 105 -
I pray that you will have the courage to apply the techniques and
the wisdom long enough for it to unveil the treasures it carries. I
pray that you will find yourself, that you will remember who you
are, and that you will look unto yourself as the wonderful being
you created at the moment of your own origin.

God bless you, seeker of the truth,

François Lépine

- 106 -
The seeker of the wisdom of Kuji-in will appreciate continuing
his studies with the book Kuji-In Mastery: The Power of Manifestation,
where the student learns to use his spiritual bodies and energy
systems to manifest his desires and elevate himself spiritually.
