Commonly referred to as ninja magic, kuji-in was thought to be the source of a ninja’s powers of spiritual and mental strength. Kuji-in translate to mean Nine Syllable Seals, and are nine different seals performed by ninja in the form of hand signs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

While there are 81 seals in total, 9 make up the core.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

These seals represent nine different levels of powers. They are:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  1. Rin – Mental and physical strength<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  2. Hyo\/Pyo – Channeling of energy<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  3. To – Harmony<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  4. Sha – Healing<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  5. Kai – Sensing danger<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  6. Jin – Reading thoughts<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  7. Retsu – Mastering space and time<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  8. Zai -Controling the elements of nature<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  9. Zen – Enlightenment<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

    These Kuji-in hand signs are techniques used by ninja to focus the mind, will and energy towards a specific intention. When activated, the ninja may gain momentary mystical powers that aid in the ninja’s survival.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Kuji-in seals are used, also to develop a ninja’s intuitive abilities. For example, the Kai seal activates the ninja’s sense of danger and the Hyo seal could help the ninja in stealth by directing energy around him.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Though unlikely that Kuji-in works in mystical ways, the symbolism and handsigns will no doubt help the ninja<\/a> gain confidence against a greater enemy. One should know that old ninja tradition was marked by strong esoteric Buddhist beliefs. From these beliefs, came the Kuji-in.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Note also that Kuji-in was not exclusive to ninjutsu. The seals featured here are often used for meditation, enlightenment, strength and agility training, and training in martial arts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
