4. SENSEI’S JOURNEY
• My search to find answers for many of the mysteries of mind-matter led me to
experiment with many prevalent techniques available today. In the process and
bargain I trained and went to many extremes, thereby injuring my body in many
ways.
• Once having an anterior cruciate ligament tear of my knee which put me out of
action for 8 months. It took 8 months to heal without surgery and medication,
but supported by the wisdom of healing.
• In 1996, I had a right side partial paralysis which the body healed in a week’s
time, again without medication..
• My lower back vertebrae were popping out (L4-L5 spondylolisthesis); I was
asked to do a spinal surgery and was told that I cannot do martial art training or
even lift 10 kg weight. But with bringing the body to the right balance I was
lifting twice my body weight in three days.
• Also faced a situation where I had 90-95% blocks in my major arteries of the
heart. Had a major myocardial infarction (heart attack), they said I had
damaged almost 35% of my cardiac muscle which cannot be repaired. On the
10th day, back from the hospital I stopped all medication. In six months I came
back to my normal training schedules and trekking in the mountains. Complete
reversal without surgery and medication. Even the damaged muscles
recuperated.
• Sometimes the body healed in a day and sometimes it took months, but I had
faith in my body and the nature’s law. Not blind faith, but faith backed by
wisdom, faith in the light of science and medicine.
PATH
OF
THE
WARRIOR
5. • My mind-body unfolded many answers and taught me the virtues of patience and perseverance.
• All these situations gave me an opportunity to learn many mysteries within my own mind-breath-body
phenomenon. Finding answers at the experiential level, having the wisdom of health and healing as a by-product
of liberating one-self.
• I experimented with various meditation techniques from different traditions including some from vigyan bhairav
tantra and zen meditation as taught by the shaolin masters.
• Learning from some of the best teachers in the world is a blessing. They guided me and taught me ‘The Way of
the Warrior’. My body is my greatest teacher. Every moment I learn from my body and one must learn to listen to
the body. To be healthy, happy and peaceful one has to train the body and use it as a tool to train the mind. I
realized that the final home coming is only with ‘The Search Within’.
• As my training progressed further and realizations dawned, one day everything became crystal clear. In that clarity
I realized the essence of training can only come through the experience within the body. 'Kukikan' was crystallized
in 2007
THE WARRIOR AND THE WAR IS WITHIN
6. The heart of Kukikan training is the practice of the balanced
path. The balanced path is the practice which must include
three parameters.
• Body training which must include three essentials
– Strength
– Endurance
– Flexibility
• Breath awareness will have three phases
– In-breath
– Pause
– Out-breath
• Mind training which must have three parameters
– Morality
– Concentration
– Wisdom
These three interdependent and interchanging parameters
are represented by the three rings in the Kukikan symbol.

SENSEI
KUKI’S
PRESENT
MISSION
“ Any spiritual path that includes all three dimensions which is represented by
three circles is the complete training for any human being in the world. One can
give it any name. If one of the factor is missing then that path is an incomplete
path, not leading to Heath, Happiness and Peace.
Sensei Kuki

10. SILENCE OF 3 CIRCLES
When one attends a Kukikan Retreat one understands the importance and
the process of Silence at 3 levels, from gross to subtle.
These are the requisites to experience ‘Silence’
Physical : Stability, alignment, & Isolation
Vocal : Ceasing of verbal & internal dialogue
Mental: Concentration & Removal of mental defilements
Healing happens in ‘Silence’ . Silence is the inner health; mind is the inner
disease, inner disturbance. Silence is the beginning and not the end of the
process. In silence one begins to see the reality ‘as it is’.
Heal ‘thy’ self is a healthy self. The body's ability to heal itself is health .
In olden times after a fierce battle a warrior, at the end of the day would
‘Retreat’ in his camp to rest …heal and energize himself to face the next
days battle . Living in the 21st century is similar to a battlefield.
At the Kukikan retreat one learns ‘the way’ to recuperate and heal
oneself…to recharge …to have clarity…to face the stress of daily modern
living.
SILENT
HEALTH
RETREAT
11. Sensei Kuki has recently published a book called
‘Tao of 3 Rings ‘.
This book unfolds ‘The Tao’, meaning ‘The Way’ of…
Kukikan- The Search Within. An inner science rooted in
ancient wisdom.
• The journey of mind-breath-body and their
interdependent connection.
• Weight training as a skillful means in 21st century to
understand and experience Yoga.
• Improving strength safely and its application to training
for deep meditation.
• How one can do walking meditation as well as take a
spiritual vacation to a gym.
• … And much more.
This is a great gift for any person, who seeks simple
guidelines to be healthy, happy and peaceful.
