When our Ki is interchanging with Ki of the universe, theis creates the most natural and the strongest state with the most vigorous life power. This state is called mind and body unification and by living with mind and body unified, one can stay healthy all through one's life. That is
However, there are many people who are actually suffering from illness and problems. Once a person has fallen ill or if the body or mind is damaged, one's life power is so low that it is very difficult to recover it by oneself. Sometimes one suffers over 10 or 20 years. In that case we must supply Ki to this person, just as when the power of the battery of a car is drained, it must be charged from outside. By sending Ki into the body from outside, the life power can be encouraged. Once the life power starts working, it can easily heal all illness and problems. This method of sending Ki into the body is named 'Kiatsu Ryoho.' In order to practise it, one must first know how to extend Ki using the four basic principles to unify mind and body. It is different from Shiatsu, Acupression, Accupuncture, etc., theoretically and practically. If you send your own Ki to others, naturally you consume a lot of Ki, it is no use to fall ill by curing others. One must first learn how to supply Ki from the universe. This is Ki breathing. The Ki of the universe is infinite. If one knows how to supply Ki from the universe, one never lacks Ki however much one sends to others. One must, therefore, know how to unify Ki and how to breathe Ki before learning Kiatsu Ryoho.
Originally the nature of man is healthy. So after restoriing health, one must maintain it by doing appropriate exercise. You can achieve these by doing the Ki exercises for health which are described in part two.
Part three is medically oriented lectue on maintenance of health explaining how unification of mind and body affects human life.
