Kuji-In: Other Effects

In my initial blog entry, I discussed some of the benefits associated with the practice of the Kuji-In.

In this follow-up posting, I'll summarize some of the other potential side effects of utilizing this spirtual technology.

First, from an overall perspective, you might just find the practice amplifies part(s) of your personality, or perhaps intensifies all of it. I once described it this way: if I was a glass of orange juice, I would have more 'concentrate' as a result of the Kuji-In.

And if you have some issues, don't be surprised if they intensify or become more visible or active ... ''on their way out.''

Also: using the Kuji-In means you will be using parts of your body or other parts of your being in ways you're not used to, so be advised to start slow and give yourself time to adjust to the practice. Parts of your body might get sore. For instance, from time to time, I find my right forearm is stressed from putting my hands into mudra postures they are unaccustomed to. Others might find some stress to their fingers if they push them too aggressively into positions they are not yet used to.

Now, onto some other side effects that might show up as a result of specific Kuji-In aspects or sets...

When you begin working with the RIN aspect, for example, you will begin stimulating and exercising your base chakra, which exists at your perenium, encompassing your rectum as well as your reproductive organs. As a result, you might see a change in the functioning of these organs.

For instance, you might notice a change in your body's eliminative practices or an intensification of your sex drive. Or you might notice an increase in your sex drive prior to a purification in the way your sex drive expresses itself.

Or consider the KOH aspect, which focuses on the generation and circulation of energy. You might experience a dramatic increase in your awareness of your system's energy. So you might prefer to work with this aspect of the Kuj-In in the morning, or before you go to the gym, as opposed to right before bedtime--unless you want to have a lot of energy in bed...but we'll save the tantric sex implications for a future discussion... ;-) ...

Then there is the TOH aspect, which facilitates harmony, both within your self as well as between you and the universe. Expect to see your relationships smooth out thanks to this practice--but, as with one of the RIN side effects, don't be surprised if you experience a jolt or two along the way. [We may elaborate on some of the side effects associated with some of the other aspects in a future post. These are provided as examples of the kinds of hiccups you might encounter as your work to digest this kind of stimulation to your being.]

This isn't unusual, as far as I'm concerned. I liken it to the growing pains your body might experience as you struggle to get back into physical shape after allowing yourself to get out of shape and overweight. This is the same temporary phase you have to just endure, only on a psychological/spiritual level.

Put another way, expect the Kuji-In to work. You are awakening your chakras, meridians and internal organs. Expect to see evidence of such awakening. This awakening will likely effect change in you, in your life, in your environment and in your relationships. And don't be surprised if things are shaken up a bit.

Lastly, it should go without saying that your motives should be sincere and not aimed at having power over others and otherwise directed toward manipulating or exploiting others. You are given this sacred knowledge in order to be a better servant and defender of others, not to take advantage of them. Violating this sacred trust that the universe is establising with you will expose you to potentially serious and extremely unpleasant karmic effects.

"Karmic retribution" might not be out of the question.

In other words, piss off the universe at your own risk, comrade...
