#spirtual powers

Chi or ki as it's also been called exists in all living things, and has been harnessed and used by others for centuries with a variety of methods. From channeling it into objects, to using mantras and or hand signs, to tags and seals(disposable one use and permanent) using all kinds of wording and symbols (studies have shown mainly kanji work the best. Perhaps this is due to the origins of where chi manipulation comes from or that this type of manipulation is most used and practiced there) now the picture above class is a loose representation of a soul... My soul to be specific. The inner layer of pink is known as a core. The s surrounding my core is what we call the chi wellspring. You could also call cores the true soul. All cores are personally tailored to you as an individual. This representation is my soul as a child. It's tailored but not as much as it could be. A blank slate that becomes less blank if you will.

Is that why it looks like your eyes minus contacts

Are you saying look blank?

You have no pupils

Neither do you buddy.

And who's fault is that?

Can we do this when I'm not teaching a class? I have at least one diligent student out there waiting for our lessons.

Sure sure sure teach,teach away

Now unlike some other supernatural energies we'll cover in the future Chi is more of a subtle power system. It's flash and glow is often very low. However The effects and the flashiness of chi spells and techniques can be strengthened by repetition of actions within the spell. Things like repeating certain mantras and hand signs in your techniques. However do not think you can do this willy nilly.

Despite the references to games we like to use in our lessons sometimes this isn't a game. Starting chi practitioners can get very hurt or potentially suffer more dangerous versions of the usual drawbacks of chi.

That my students is why beginners mustn't use more then 3 to 4 repetitions per spell at a time without some form of support in the form of other chi users or gofu(a lesson we'll cover another time)The more repetition in your technique the more strain and drain put onto your chi wellspring

I don't think we talked about the wellspring yet prof

And if you hadn't derailed my initial talk about cores with talk of my eyes we wouldn't need to cover it here. The wellspring would be the blue fiery energy surrounding the core. We all start with a specific amount(some more then others) and those that typically are told of there potential to manipulate chi or sharpen spiritual intution often have even more chi.

However do not despair students. If you were born with a low chi wellspring. There are many ways to increase your wellspring. Meditation not only replenishes one's wellspring but also can increase it's depth. Similarly when one empties their wellspring dry they also can increase it's depth.

Do not take that as an invitation to waste spiritual energy. Running low on or out of chi can give you quite the fatigue. Massive headaches and even some drowsiness are very common as well. There's even been accounts of things like anemia and nosebleeds from straining or using too much... Even partial seizures for particularly mentally draining techniques

That's not even counting for the overdrive

Ah yes, a very dangerous problem indeed. The overdrive happens when one reaches their limit on chi. And replenish their drained wellspring with a special form of fighting meditation and continuing to fight with it without proper rest or meditation technique. Sort of a quick meditation to get the core flowing energy again. Only now all 7 chakras are in overdrive alongside your core. Producing larger and larger portions of chi. But There is a trade off. Core overdrive is a last hooray style of technique. That should only be used in the most dire of circumstances.

The technique is so dangerous because your body is not meant to produce so much spiritual power so fast. It causes your body to enter a comatose state. In worse cases of over use you could even experience something called the phasing soul travel. Now soul travel is another fancy term for an astral plane journey. The phasing soul journey however is not a good one at all. Your very physical form phases out of reality and into the astral planes as a wandering soul. While this is reversible students you might not want to. The planes have been known to be very euphoric to these souls. So getting them to return is much much harder.

However do not let that discourage you from trying to get a wandering soul home. You'll know the difference between these wandering journey souls and a normal one when you first see them. The chi markings on there body alone are the indicator of a soul can phase back to the mortal world into there body

Please do not let this discourage you from studying chi. While these side effects and consequences are dangerous so long as you have proper help with managing your chi usage and have the proper help and knowledge you'll be safe.

As well as proper managing of chi and how much your wellspring has left. Like mr L has said before we like to use gaming terms many times in our lessons but chi is always not a game. We have no real built in ways to say we have nothing left. Not like role play games with their spell slots. Or a screen and bar to tell us were out of mana. Not even a point system to say we are out of points. What we do have are techniques you might consider cantrips. Techniques that use up so little to no chi in your wellspring that you can use them all the time. You'll find all chi techniques in some way or form come from these wisp techniques as we'll call the cantrips of chi. They're one of the building blocks of chi itself.

Another building block would be the level system for chi. A little different to usual systems found in other powers because chi runs with repetition. So the level system operates on a different level to say mystical powers or even powers you need to charge in order to get stronger.

Chi can be charged. In fact it's the bread and butter of a sect within chi manipulation called chi weaving. Needing to charge your techniques. Something we will cover in next weeks class?... Mr l whats next weeks chi class?

It would be chi items and spirits... So maybe next weeks class after that.

Ah,okay.

While i have it here perhaps we should open up on chakras?

Excellent idea! Now pay attention to the board class

This would be a rough estimate of the 7 chakras from the root to the enlightenment chakra. Please thank mr L for his generous rough drawing of the 7 chakras.

Why thank you for the compliment.do not think there are only 7 chakras these are only 7 out of the 100s of chakras. These are simply the most important ones for chi work.

That's correct, there are in fact hundreds of chakras out there. But chi manipulation cares the most about these main 7.

The red root chakra

The orange sacral chakra

The yellow solar plexus chakra

The green heart chakra

The blue throat chakra

The indigo 3rd eye chakra

And the violet enlightenment chakra

Think of these chakras almost like gears or water wheels for the chi to flow around and get to turning

Or even stops on a road while chi is the car that travels to and stops at them

You could even think of chakras as wells the chinriver travels under that can be collected by the wells buckets. the process makes your aura more vibrant and visible

Aura could be what you'd consider the 'flash' of chi. Your spiritual energy given physical and visible form to others that cannot see them normally. But on its own this aura is still low flash.

Chakra points also tend to mix into your techniques powers or harmonize with whatever your trying to do by merging their powers with your chi. It's something we in the modern day use to help explain the powers we can get from chi.

Another thing that helps us is a method as old as chi manipulation itself

Even older L. It predates the 6 principals and the more ways we have to focus chakras and chi into techniques... The infamous kuji in... Or it should be familiar to you if you're serious about this class

Perhaps we should do another quick lesson on This. We are in an introductory class after all.

This class is the kuji in. Sometimes in chi you'll also see it be called the kuji kiri, this was a term usually coined by ninjas for there meditation.

This would be why many of the chi users are ninjas or ninjutsu knowledgeable in some way.

The kuji kiri are also sometimes called the 9 sacred cuts. It's very important for you to know what each of these 9 are. What each mantra stands for.

Rin for Strength

Pyō for Channel

Tō for Harmony

Sha for Healing

Kai for Sense of Danger

Jin for Reading of thoughts

Retsu for Control of space and time

Zai for Control of sky and elements

Zen for Enlightenment

The very first words ever truly used to control and dictate the energy of the soul. And with time, the healing hands mantra came from it as a way to increase the cuts that healed in some way. Each mantra has some effect of recovery of some kind within it.

Whether it be to and sha doing the back bone of physical and mental healing and balancing. Or kai and jin letting you sense the danger around or where it hurts the most for a patient, or channel the phantom purifying essences of the elements zai and zen filled enlightenment of zen. It was all channeled to a point by pyo and strengthened by rin.and retsu could slow down the injured bodies worsening condition All to work with the spiritual energy and chakras of not just the healer and healing patient,but by anyone who is willing to chip in. Proper/more refined chi manipulation would come later on as well the 5 chi principals. But the 9 sacred cuts meant to work with the 7 chakras and your own souls energy well was the most primal form of chi manipulation... Some might consider it the most pure air easiest to understand. Many ninja clan passed down the sacred cuts and some even tried to alter,add or improve on the sacred art for better results.

As it stands these 9 short mantras that make up the mantras of the healing hands that make up the backbone of chi as a whole are often used by starting chi practitioners as guiding points and stabilizers to keep unstable chi techniques from getting too dangerous. The words are so grounded and stable using them in mantras not from the original circle will actively stabilize a rookies chi techniques so hotshots or people with difficulties on the lesson don't hurt themselves or others.

What were looking at children is essentially the mother tongue of chi. The most important and oldest words and movements chi will ever have.

Hence why this mini lesson shouldn't have been needed.

Is that why you didn't even bring up the picture i got for this lesson

No it's supposed to be right... There...

Why don't we take a small break so me and professor s can see what's going on.

-----------------------10 minutes later-----------------

Alright class we're back and it looks like we hit a limit with our board. Only 10 pictures per lesson.

Totally bogus by the way.

But that's neither here nor there. We'll just simply paste a reminder lesson about the 9 hand signs after class. Let us move on for now to the final topic of our lesson... The 6 chi core principals.

Chi has existed far longer then we have recorded. But chi itself has a class of 6 core principals we began developing and further learning about after we learned about the kuji in and how to use it

Now because of that class we have 6 symbols to show you. One for each chi core principal. Let's get to it class because i know long lessons get you and your brains very tired

Specialization 

The principal of specialization involves the infusing of your chi or aura with a unique effects.great examples include giving your aura the effect of increasing recovery in yourself or others

Rather great pair up with the healing hands matras

There's also magnetizing something covered in your aura or making your aura as warm as a flame.

Do remember your aura itself doesn't actually change forms. Its effects will change but you cannot use specialization to make real fire or similar tangible elements. But this does not stop specialized auras from affecting fire or plants. Or even from producing light. It all comes down to changing the auras nature and effects on things

Manipulation

The symbol itself speaks for itself but to explain it a bit more the principal of manipulation allows the use of your chi to manipulate or control something that's got your chi in it.

Think of this being Like telekinesis or even puppeteering with strings. Do remember class People or objects with chi of their own will fight you if you try controlling them.

It's also very good at puppeting your own body if it's unable to on its own. Like if you had broken limbs or paralysis of some kind. That in itself is very taxing and requires precision and finesse

 seal and release 

Seal and release will be talked about a bit more next lesson but for now the basics on it are simple. Using your chi to seal or release something.

A big example of this principal is astral projection. Where one releases their spirit from there body or seals it back inside themselves again.

But the biggest seal and release principal examples are gofu. But that's the main subject of next lesson.

Enhancment

Now do keep in mind that despite conevntional ideas of use the principal of encanment is not just defined by strengthening a person. Even if that sounds and feels like the kost obvious use.

Enhancement can also be used on objects as well object. Any possible upgrade is possible. Something like softening skin or bolstering a piece of paper both count as enhancements.

If I'm not mistaken a lesson in enhancements for students at the school starfall academy of spiritual power uses pillows one sits on for meditation

You'd be correct.

Transmutation

The prinipal of transmuation is a simple and familar one. changing the qualities of your chi to match something else like becoming fire or electricity. It's still energy but has changed in a way

It's almost always energy related on it's own So don't go thinking you can make any item with one principal. You'll need another for that. It's a very important part to creating energy called mental chi and mystic chi.

Please do not confuse specialization and transmutation. They are separate in their own ways. But you need both principals for those power sources mr L mentioned. It'll be a second before we cover them.

conjuration

 And now class we finally reach the last principal of chi. The principal of conjuration.

This conjures up crystalized versions of whatever object you want. Might seem very weird of useless to the non knowing but spiritual energy is very in tune with crystals. Rock crystal,ice crystals.

Sugar crystals! And you can also imbue it and manipulate its qualities onxyour own for stronger crystals or more powerful effects.

every chi technique needs several of the core principals in some way shape or form. Not just the main one for them. But chi techniques have a main principal they use and ones that follow follow it(usually 1 or 2 additional principals). Even being upgraded by using the other not needed ones.

Let's give an example. If you mix conjuration, transmutation and specialization. What you get is the ability to turn chi into just about any item with enough practice.

tricks like that are not all this combination can do. Last month i lost my right arm and had heavy damage to the left. And with a lengthy healing process that resulted in about 2 days of constant sleep i awoke with a massive scar but my arm reattached.

When he says lengthy he means lengthy. The healer needed astral footholds and the chi of our professor here just to keep going. A lot of repeated Rin,pyo,sha and to.

They had to use conjuration to form not only new nerves but also to form rose quartz wands and eggs. A gemstone of healing in the form of a director and healer respectively.

Specialization made my aura and there's extra healer strong. Giving healing and purifying properties to both pur auras and purging the arm and body of whatever toxins that were still around.

The wands and eggs combined with pyo also gave much help in directing all energy to both our heart and solar plexus chakras. The 2 most healing chakras out of the 7. Solar plexus especially could.be considered a multiplier of energy.

Let me tell you that was a light show. 6 chakras shining brightly between the healer and the professor here. Yellows,greens,and red all mingle with that rose quartz pink and plue chi and white healing aura. The process was somewhat lengthy. Making new nerves or healing and reattaching damaged ones as possible is a process you don't want to skip if you want minimal nerve damage

My arms are fine now, but they are still some more movement therapy and my arms have some pains now. Looks like the body and soul still remember the loss of my right with how it hurts sometimes. The healer wasn't as experienced as I'd like so i was nervous he'd end up taking the final bang.

While this example was more detailed then i thought we'd get were officially out of time.
