Tadashi Kanzawa - Healing with Kiryo: The Adventures and Teachings of Tadashi Kanzawa

I have a saying: Ki is existence itself. And just as this saying predicts, through Kiryo, many people have healed their illnesses and injuries and restored the health of their natural existences. And that is not all. As I saw these people gain the ability to perceive Ki as they recovered, I deepened my belief that Ki is possessed by all.

The two works that precede this ( Kiryo and Remote Kiryo ) were centered around treatment and implementation; that focus remains in this book as well. Many Kiryo practitioners around the world have put this focus into practice to great effect. Kiryo possesses marvelous healing power, and it may be said that as long as its results remain spectacular, one need not debate about its theoretical basis.

However, as I consider the matter now, even if we attempt to theoretically debate the particulars of Kiryo, there is a near-complete lack of vocabulary and phraseology to describe it. Thus, discussion has been simply limited to a listing of the achievements of Kiryo.

In 1996, I opened the Kiryo Academy. Initially I struggled to instruct my students as I lacked both the theory and terminology to explain Kiryo. One day, the Kiryo recipients and students at the academy began to express their sensations upon receiving Ki as tingling or cool, blowing feelings. Through the various words they used, I realized that these students may be expressing the true nature of Ki itself. I theorized that in their expressions, they were articulating the activity of their sensory nervesthat is, their perceptive and differentiative abilitiesupon being exposed to Kiryo.

I then struggled to name the sensory nerves that perceive and discriminate Ki energy. I decided that Ki energy would be the domain of the Kiryo nerves and the power of perceiving and discrimination would be the function of the Wave Sensory Nerves. The details of these are explained in Chapter 2 of this book, Discovery of the Two Sensory Nerves. These concepts are not recognized in modern medicine and are part of the unique point of view of Kiryo.

Since discovering the two sensory nerves and verbalizing their sensory phenomena, words such as collective energy and peaceful space have been coined, and the education of academy students has become much easier. The numbers of practitioners and students has risen, and the Academy is brimming with vigor.

Now, some ten years later, I have decided to author this book with two motivations in mind.

The first is that Kiryo is not just treatment. Through its mastery exercises, one is able to master the following four things: Ki energy, ability of perception and discrimination, preventative Kiryo (preventing illness before it occurs), and worsening prevention (halting the worsening of illnesses and restoring ones health). All these things are explained in great detail in this book, and I invite you to review them herein.

The second is that in 2002, the Health Promotion Act was promulgated. Given the aging of Japanese society, its low birthrate, and the need to address lifestyle diseases and the like, this law aims to urge each Japanese citizen to manage their own health and strive to promote it.

I think that the mastery of Kiryo and the aim of the Health Promotion Act are one and the same. I hope that at least one person who reads this book will commit themselves to Kiryo mastery (exercise), and thereby recover and promote their health.

Lastly, in compiling this book, I am grateful to have had the encouragement and assistance of Ryoji Takabayashi, a Kiryo practitioner and an editorial department official at my publishing company. I express my sincere gratitude for his help.
