Chakra Breathing

Chakra Kassei Kokyu-ho: kami, hi, niku, kotsu, zui, ("Chakra Activation Breathing Method: hair, skin, flesh, bones, marrow")

An associated training technique to the Kundalini. This training method requires the user to repeatedly mold yang chakra and compress it into the recesses of the body. Then yin chakra is molded and the nerves throughout the body become saturated with the user's will.

Yang Breathwork
The first part of the technique is as follows:

1) Hair: Chakra is gathered on the surface of the body,

2) Skin: the cumulative chakra is drawn in through the entire surface area of the skin,

3) Flesh: the compressed chakra is infused throughout the flesh and slowly compressed deeper into the body,

4) Bones: the densely packed chakra is gathered evenly all around the surface area of the entire skeletal frame,

5) Marrow: the viscous chakra is drawn into the skeleton to saturate the bone marrow.

This technique is designed to bathe newly created bone marrow stem cells in chakra. Stem cells replenish the body's cells as they wear out. In the supersaturated bone marrow, stem cells grown and infused with yang chakra spread out to colonize the body and rebuild the bodily tissues.

This technique has elements in common with the Akimichi clan's ability to convert chakra into body fat and vice verse a. Here, however, the technique works to completely build the body up into a stronger, more durable version of itself in order to withstand the stress and strain of Kundalini execution.

Yin Breathwork
The second portion of the technique requires training the mind through self imposed genjutsu and programming the body's muscle memory. Yin chakra is built up in the chakra network system and flooded throughout the brain and neural pathways. The user places himself under genjutsu. The body is paralyzed similar to REM slecep to avoid physically acting out the training regiment. The user trains for a period of time according whatever scenarios were placed in the user's memory by his or her sensei. These can be real memories, which the user acts out in the genjutsu, or constructed scenarios created to teach the user some specific lesson.

At the same time, the user's will floods the body's motor cortex, cerebellum, medulla oblongata, spinal column, and neuromuscular pathways. The body is programmed to act according to whatever occurs in the genjutsu. Essentially, "muscle memory" is downloaded into the user's neuralmuscular pathways so that in real life situations the user can act and react without conscious thought in the correct manner. In beginners, a blood seal (血印, Ketsuin) is placed on the naked scalp, in which the students sensei places a Tsuiwonasu or twin, (対を成す lit. "to act as twin"). This is basically a spiritual clone of the sensei sequestered within the blood seal to offer training and guidance in accordance with the desired outcomes of the regiment.
