Karma can be described as the effects of one’s previous actions. What if you were “in the driver’s seat” when it came to generating your own karma? What if you could be an active participant in the scheme of totality? Could you craft your own reality, or at least your experience of “reality”? There is an ancient eastern practice of setting ourselves up to be in a state of consciousness that allows us to appreciate the power and effects of our thoughts, words, and deeds, called the “Kuji Goshin Bo”. This meditation and power activation practice was one of the skills utilized by the ancient ninja as well as the Shugendo mountain wizards of old Japan. This perspective and paradigm-shifting skillset was relied upon to bring about real results in the most extreme of conditions. Join Chapel Hill Quest Martial Arts as we host An-Shu Stephen K. Hayes, the western world's foremost authority on all things ninja, for a five part Kuji Goshin Bo transmission series through Zoom. Each hour-long session will focus on one of the five parts of this spiritual practice and will be potentially the first time that this material has ever been taught this way. Kuji Goshin Bo #1 This session sets the stage for the “magic” to happen. At any moment literally, anything can happen. This realization is our first step in taking charge of our circumstances. Kuji Goshin Bo #2 Our actions determine our outcomes. This training will provide a framework for us to craft our experiences through enlightened action. Kuji Goshin Bo #3 Words are magic and carefully crafted communication can play a huge role in our life’s experiences. This session of exploration will guide us in ways to intentionally and specifically use the power of enlightened speech to enhance our reach and influence. Kuji Goshin Bo #4 All that we accomplish first takes shape in our minds. What if we could master our thoughts to reduce the negative self-talk and limiting beliefs that hold us back? This session will show us the steps to begin to harness the power of our consciousness and bring our dreams into reality. Kuji Goshin Bo #5 Unforeseeable effects can and will stem from our actions. Forces with wills counter to our own can stand in our way or seek to undo the good that we wish to bring into our world. This Kuji practice is a powerful protection against those counter forces and obstacles, ensuring that the righteousness of our manifestations outshines that which would oppose them.
