What is importance of KUJI-KIRI First Two Mudras?Hello my dear friends, this topic is discussed for those of you who very willingly are aware about the KUJI-KIRI mudras and are practicing various ways to develop / cultivate / collect the vital energy known as CHI in Chinese & KI in Japanese. Obviously, it has much connection to those people in the field of martial arts who know & practice the path of NINJUTSU specialy. But there are many new students who know about it and want to follow thw path of NINJUTSU. But they find it difficult to achive it and become hopeless, which ultimately results into frustration for the practitioner and finaly they leave this path. This is because they don’t have any master to give a brief on what this KUJI-KIRI is all about and what is the vital energy known as CHI in Chinese & KI in Japanese and how KUJI-KIRI can help you in the field of martial arts.

I had practiced a many types of breathing techniques and when i can to know this breathing technique it was a good experience of my life. Here in this topic I would like to share my experience with the reader and what i want to let you know is the ancient art which was practiced long back by the monks during 3000 B.C. in the land of India, China & Japan who never reveled their secrets at that time. But there were few states or kingdom at that time who were in contact with these monks learning the secret knowledge which Buddha and many other monks had by the means of meditation.

But first you should know that what is CHI / KI / Vital Energy, how it works, and its importance in the field of martial arts or any other art and how the KUJI-KIRI mudra techniques will let you to achive it.

INTRODUCTION to Vital Energy / CHI / KI

What is CHI in simple words? Well as per my knowledge there is no definition of it in any dictionary in world. To know CHI you have to understand it through various examples here i will give you now.

Example-1: I came across many people who do lots of prayer to god and came to know many thing. Once i happened to meet a driver who told me about the gold which was made by extracting a fluid from special trees in ancient India during the time of Rajput kings. The extracted fluid was put in a vessel and many saints and tantriks used to do mantras on it and by deploying special way to process it turns into gold. The point of saying is that it is not the fluid from the trees but there is something special in that tree which on processing gets converted into Gold. But what is it in that tree which makes it different from that tree? The answer is the flow of CHI inside that tree.

Example-2: I also heard of an incidence of a women pushing a truck huge and very heavy than here capacity just to save here baby caught into the truck tyre. The women was not muscular to lift the truck to save her helpless child to get out of it. But due to the sudden

emotions inside the women’s body here mind quickly responded to the emotional changes and the body of the women suddenly responded by the mind. But its not the body which was able to lift the truck but the sudden production of the CHI inside the body and mind who directed the CHI to Hands, Wrists, shoulders, legs, and entire body to produce the force. NOTE: Developing the CHI is a different thing and collecting it to hands, face, shoulder or to any other body part is different thing.

Example-3: There are many people in India who have done Samadhi i.e. they are able to control the vital energy of the body in such a way that they remain under water or make , when properly examined by doctor, the doctor will declare that person dead. But in actual that person has so good control over his body that whenever that person wants he/she can let the vital force to go to that body part and again let that body part to function. And when the person is declared after 3 hours or one day the person redirects his CHI and comes alive. I have seen many and heard of many saints in India who can remain inside the water for 2 days or even 1 month without breathing and come out successfully and live a long life. NOTE: based on the level of control the number of days can be extended by the person, but the first and foremost thing is knowing where the CHI flows, how it can be directed and where to direct it and for how much time it should be kept in required body organs.

Example-4: There are many known institutes or saints or persons in Asia who uses these powers, such as people practicing REKI, CHI KUNG or CHI GONG in martial arts, monks of Shaolin, various martial arts expert breaking tiles and bricks through their punch, breathing exercises of KUJI- KURI, many breathing exercises in yoga and pranayam, etc.

CHI is unseen unable to describe and ahs no physical appearance, but its effect is seen in human life and human body. Many martial arts persons who had achived their highest goals in martial arts like Bruce Lee uses this vital / chi / ki energy for better performance in their life in any field. Various magicians, acupuncture doctors, martial atrs experts they use this energy.

Advantages if CHI is developed & circulated in human body:

1. It increases the capacity of human body like better performance in sports, if properly circulated in human brain it reduces the stress and strain in mind, makes the mind sharper and increases the performance of person, in martial arts it is a good source of power and speed allowing the user to break tiles, knockout a person in one punch and strike with maximum strength like Bruce Lee.

2. When used in REKI it heals the wounds and helps in maintaining good health.3. In any accident, if during the accident of a person the CHI is blocked inside the body

to flow it creats the paralysis condithion of the person because its only the CHI through which all the body parts are functioning and in absence of CHI the body goes into coma. But if through REKI/ACCUPUNCTRE technique this CHI is allowed to flow then the person in coma will come consciousness.

4. A mentally retarded person lacks the co-ordination between mind and body. But if CHI is circulated in mind and properly taught the ways to co-ordinate with mind and body then there can be chances of improvement in mentally retarded person.

What is KUJI-KIRI ?Kuji-Kuri is a breathing method when performed with some hand signs allows a person to develope CHI at the Hara and from Hara it is transferred to the required place anywhere in body. The main function of Kuji-Kuri’s first two mudras is that when breathing is done in beginning first lack of oxygen in body is produce. Because of lack of oxygen CHI starts developing at Hara in the form of heat at Hara. Then it is taken up to the various boby parts.

There are many thing i would like to share with u my dear readers but for now i end my words and will continue next time with the next topic “KUJI-KURI hand signs” and will discuss with you thing before performing it.

God Bye & take care
