The Spiritual Practice of Kuji-In – Part 1

With more and more people interested in a variety of spiritual practices and I wanted to introduce a very ancient from of spiritual practice, Kuji-In.

Kuji-In is Japanese for nine symbols, nine seals or nine gates.

Nine Symbols = Nine Seals = Nine Gates = Nine Chakras = Nine Levels of Consciousness

The 9 hand seals (or Mudras) technique and its teachings are believed to have originated in the Hindu religion. It was devised as a way to bring the virtues of the Spirit into the physical experience. The nine hand seals practice was later adopted by Buddhism. The mudras remained the same, but Buddhist mantras where added. The original mantras were in Sanskrit.

The Buddhist movement went to china, where the tradition was passed on to the hermetic and esoteric groups. The techniques migrated from China and Tibet to Japan. In Japan, the kuji-in disciplines were adopted by esoteric Buddhism, the Ninja and some Samurai groups. They have been popularized in some of the ninja movies as the source of the special mental and psychic powers attributed to the mystical ninja.

The kuji-in technique is composed of a combination of the application of the mudra (hand postures), mantra (associated prayer or affirmation), and the mandala (the associated symbol or visualization). The goal of the kuji-in technique is the quest for knowing the truth about ourselves.

It is a contemplation of higher principles, an application of noble behavior in our daily lives, and mental availability to perceive knowledge that is not studied, but revealed. The side effects of this revelation is the acquisition of strength, control, healing powers, telepathy and clairvoyance. As with any meditation practice, the results are formed and defined by the practitioners intent.

This is a practice that can, if applied with a pure intent, accelerate enlightenment. The activation of kundalini and the purification of one’s self is integral to this game plan.

It should not be surprising that a practice with such an ancient history that has diffused into so many cultures and religions over a very long period of time would have some variations in how it is practiced and understood. The version presented here is derived primarily from the ninja. The resource material is derived primarily from the works of the Buddhist bishop Francois Lepone.

Note: When you research this subject, you will find several variations on the hand mudras. The variation presented here is based on the theory that connecting the meridians provides the greatest enhancement of energy. All of the variations are likely valid. Try them and go with what works best for you.

NOTE: When one affirms something to the effect of “I am the divine consciousness” or anything similar, it should invoke a sense of humility…not a sense of self importance. When we first become one with “God”, “the Force”, “Infinity”, etc., we become, metaphorically speaking, the tail on the dog. The tail does not wag the dog. With practice and self purification, we may become the whole dog.

As with any Spiritual practice, Intent is of pre-eminent importance. You may also notice as you practice these mudras and mantras that your effects will be felt more quickly and powerfully when you combine energy enhancing exercises including but not limited to Qi Gong, Pranayama, Huna, Robert Bruce’s energy development, etc.

Each of the Kuji-in practices has a correspondence with a chakra, energy center and level of consciousness. Each chakra corresponds to a physical endocrine gland. Edgar Cayce stated that each endocrine gland center is associated with and influenced by a particular afterlife realm through its associated astrological planetary influence. The planetary realm is not that of the physical planet, but a distinct plane that is inhabited.

The lowest endocrine gland in our body, the sexual glands, is associated with the lowest afterlife realm in the hierarchy of Spirit realms. The pituitary gland is associated with the highest afterlife realm in the hierarchy. The afterlife realm we travel to upon death is determined by the highest endocrine gland within our body that we have spiritually activated.

Activation of the highest spiritual center, the pituitary gland, creates a spiritual awakening and enlightenment that brings an awareness of our oneness with God, the Infinite or the Source. We can achieve spiritual enlightenment through meditation and any other experience that unites our awareness with that of God.

The Kuji-in meditations are a system of raising energy and raising consciousness. They are a means of stimulating the awakening and arising of the kundalini. The awakening of the kundalini requires the purification of the energy of the chakras. Therefore, doing the kuji-in meditations may stimulate chakra activity and bring any energy imbalances or unresolved issues to the practitioner’s attention.

Next week I will go over the mudra’s, mantar’s and chakra’s for each of the nine Kuji-In.
