...' Wow that sounds stupid....' exclaimed Jin, The old man (smacking Jin on his head) said, ' Stupid boy, don't interrupt my story.....just listen, now, where were we' , ....
.
.
(back in the story), ' .....but even we can achieve such abilities by the practice of meditation and by bringing a Zen like discipline to our lives.
Hence, this practice is often linked with martial arts. Martial arts helps a person to lead a life of pure discipline and gives one a hermit - like point of view of life...
....'So did you learn martial arts too, granny Shiraki ?' asked the boy. The lady told him that she trained all her life in various arts, but was too old to perform anymore, just when the boy was about to give her a dissapointed look, she said, 'Would you like to learn something? Try asking Lord Shiraki, he'll teach you ....if he sees it fit....after all he was my sensei!!'
.
.
The boy ran to the head to make the request, when asked him to teach him, the old man said, ' Ha ha, I'm too old for that young man, I won't even be able train you properly, besides what makes you so interested suddenly?' ....
.
'I just wish to learn these for the sake of the village's protection, but much more than that it's because I want to!!' answered the boy, this reason delighted the head, he agreed to teach the boy on one condition, that he only use it to create and maintain peace in the whole world.
The boy underwent rigorous training under the head for 10 long years, he was trained in every art that was required to lead a life of prosperity and discipline....
.
.
Right after he mastered the physical martial arts and all the survival skills, he was now looking forward to learning the spiritual art, so he went to Lady Shiraki, who congratulated him on becoming a master of her husband's arts, and welcomed him to learn the mystical arts.....
.
. She said to him on their first lesson, ' Look young boy, as I've told you already, there is more to the human body than you can see!!!!
The beginning point of your Chakra flow i.e. the middle point of your entire body, right at the middle of your waste, the lower end of your spinal cord, is the place where we begin. The first one of the 7 Chakra lies there....
.
.....that is the starting point, the first step to achieve the activation of the 7 Chakras. Start focusing on that point, try to feel a small point source of heat in it.
.
The moment you start feeling the point of heat, focus harder on it, try to feel a serpent of pure heat, coiled, sitting at the root Chakra, once the serpent uncoils it will rise to The Crown Chakra (the topmost one), piercing all the Chakras, that's when all your Chakras will be activated. Even I don't have any idea, of the consequences of activating all the Chakras. By now I have been able to activate only 3...'
.
.
By now the boy was completely engrossed in the lesson, he wanted to ask Lady Shiraki many questions, 'How long did it take you to activate 3 Chakras?' asked the boy...
.
Lady Shiraki answered, '10 years of focused meditation, 4 hours continuous everyday.'
.
'But then, then what were the consequences of activating 3, what abilities did it give you?' questioned the boy. To show him her prowess, Lady Shiraki took him outside, and challenged him to see who had better physical abilities, the boy being over confident of his young age and the lady being 65 years old, accepted the challenge hastily...
.
. The boy jumped at quite a good height of 6 feet, now was the lady's turn, she jumped up to 10 metres high. The boy's eyes popped, he had a new found respect and admiration to the abilities of the Chakras, he asked the lady ' If Lord Shiraki is so strong physically how come he hasn't activated any of his Chakras.....'
.
.
'What makes you think that!!!' exclaimed Lady Shiraki, ' Lord Shiraki has already activated five'. Listening to this, the boy got excited and ran to the head, intrigued about his prowess. He came up to the head and said, 'I'm sorry to disturb you Lord Shiraki, but I need you to show me the extent of your abilities...' Lord Shiraki cut him off and said, ' I see, so she told you about the Chakras today, huh?
Alright, watch this', Lord Shiraki, held his hand out with his palm open and with a snap he made an entire ball of fire in his hand, he threw it at a huge rock nearby and shattered it to pieces.....
.
.
The boy was awestruck, he thought that something like this was supernatural, but then Lord Shiraki told him, '.....what are saying boy, didn't she tell you that it might seem supernatural, but the truth is it's just evolved.'
.
.
The boy exclaimed, ' ...but how did you...I didn't even say that out loud.....'
