Esoteric Kiai: Internal Chanting – Ghost Hand Kata

In this next installment of my series on Esoteric Kiai, I would like to look at the chants that I use in my Esoteric Ghost Hand Kata. As with all my more advanced Esoteric Kata posts, my intention is to motivate you to create an Esoteric Kata program that works for YOU not copy what works for ME. As such, I will not make your learning process easy.

By way of background, I have two types of Esoteric Kiai. The first is an intonation that I use during the process of breathing. One syllable is intoned on the inhalation and the second syllable is intoned on the exhalation. I use this methodology in several Kata, including the Ghost Hand Kata. You may see this method of intoning in the Ghost Hand Kata using this convenient link: https://senseijohn.me/2024/03/04/ghost-hand-kata-intonation-visualization-part-1/. . 

The second type of Esoteric Kiai I use is a longer duration version, that involves mentally saying a chant, prayer, or affirmation. I have various methods that I use in the Kata in my Esoteric Kata syllabus. For example, you can see that methodology for the Seienchin Kata using this convenient link:

Turning to the Ghost Hand Kata, I am intrigued at how a very simple Kata has become so esoterically important. Having already disclosed my intonation used in the Kata, I will now turn to my chanting methodology. Again, as in the past, I will not be performing the Kata and spoon-feeding you my intonations and chants. You can; however, work to uncover it using the video as a guide.

The Ghost Hand Kata provides a very suitable basis for your exploration prayer and sacrifice within  Esoteric Kata (including the subset of Blood Kata https://senseijohn.me/2024/01/02/esoteric-kata-blood-kata-ritual-introduction/  . )

I hope you will continue your exploration of Esoteric Kata. If you choose to do so, please proceed with a pure heart, clean spirit and open mind. Until the next submission, I remain,
