The Spiritual Practice of Kuji-In – Part 2

Last week I started the discussion on the spiritual practice of kuji-in.  Today I’m going to finish up with some basic info on the each of the nine “symbols.”

As in any spiritual practice no length of article could ever do justice, so the intent here is you expose you some primary information on kuji-in and if it resonates with you, you can dig deeper….enjoy!

Rin

Rin Mudra

• Rin – Strength of Mind and Body – Physical strength, mental focus, and energy generation. Being physically well and having a positive outlook. Self confidence, trust in self and the Infinite. 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.

Rin Mantra

• Japanese Kanji: On bai shira man taya sowaka
• Sanskrit: Om vajraman taya swaha (Pronounced: Om vajramaanatayaa Swaha)
• English Literal: O thunderbolt to / who has glory / sacrifice
• Alternate: “I am strong and powerful and I dedicate myself to service of the Spiritual Source and Oneness of All”. “I am strong and powerful and compassionate”. “Divine Omnipotent energy and wisdom is permeating every aspect of my mind, body and Spirit.” “I am strong and powerful – I serve the Spiritual Source and Oneness of All”. “I cleanse, purify, accept and forgive my sensuality and sexuality”.

Rin Chakra

• The chakra associated with Rin is the first or root or base chakra.

The corresponding endocrine gland is the gonads. According to Cayce, the energy of the sexual glands, when misdirected, may bring sexual perversions and unbridled sensuality. If this Spiritual center is the highest center activated during a person’s life, at death they may dwell in the corresponding afterlife realm associated with the planet Saturn.

This afterlife realm can be referred to as the realm of earthly woes and is not a pleasant place. It is similar to the afterlife realm which is known by Catholics as purgatory, a place of cleansing, purification and starting over. Activating the root chakra brings one into the direct experience of any unresolved urges and unfinished business of a sexual nature. Once purified, the root chakra energy becomes a driving force for the activation of higher chakras and consciousness.

As you activate this center, you may have to confront any unresolved sexual issues that you may have.

The corresponding endocrine gland is the leydig gland or cells of leydig. According to Cayce, the lyden (or Leydig) gland, located above the sexual glands, is the starting point of the soul’s activity toward higher levels of Spiritual consciousness. The second chakra is a door through which the soul may enter higher afterlife realms. This chakra is often referred to as the “seat of the soul”, the point of entry and exit of the soul into a physical body.

In the meridian energy system, an energy center called the “dan tien” is located here. This center is where Qi or vital energy is stored. According to Cayce, if this gland is the highest gland activated during a person’s life, they will transition to the realm of Neptune at death. This afterlife realm is referred to as the realm of mysticism, where souls have the ability to have direct experience with the Creator and perceive the Creator. This gives the urges to seek the unusual, the mystical and the unseen forces around us. People who come to Earth from this realm seem peculiar to others and are many times misunderstood. “
