Ki Breathing With Five Steps

KI BREATHING WITH FIVE STEPS Include the following principles and try practising for three minutes. Ask the receiver how it felt. 1. Drop your ki centre down to the bottom tanden. 2. Breathe slowly in and out from the bottom tanden. 3. Breathe in and out while visualizing a spiritual symbol—an image, picture, or sign—that most deeply connects you to the universal spirit. Visualize the spiritual symbol expanding to fill the whole of the physical and ki bodies. 4. Pray for the health, happiness, and spiritual growth of others by expanding the symbol so that the whole world and all people are included. Keep trying to infinitely expand the spiritual symbol so that the whole universe and all beings are included. 5. To keep expanding and strengthening the image of the spiritual sym bol, and thus deepen the power of the prayer, you must see your heart through the state of naikan, or moment-to-moment awareness.
