What Is the Yamato Breathing Method (Yamato Kokyū)
The Yamato Breathing Method (harmonizing breath, body, and spirit) is a sacred practice handed down orally since antiquity to awaken the chakras. By combining awareness, chakras, and breath, it restores the five through eight senses. In ancient times, the Wajin (people of Yamato) lived naturally with intuition and telepathy. Today, as certain sensitivities fade with convenience, you become a practitioner of Kōshūdō (path of cultivating light) through training, enliven the body, and awaken the innate faculties humans already possess.
Stages of the Yamato Breathing Method (Kōshūdō Chakra Awakening: Beginner to Advanced/Inner Transmission)
Beginner | Awakening of Five and Six Senses
Using Five-Sense Forms I–V to awaken sight, hearing, smell, taste, and touch, and to strengthen your “antennae.”
With Six-Sense Forms, you open the rock door of light (Iwadō, an inner gateway of clarity) and consciously awaken inner perception—intuition, analysis, insight, and flashes of understanding—cultivating many ways of “noticing.”
Intermediate | Awakening of the Seventh Sense
Through Seventh-Sense Forms, you foster the flowering of harmonizing and balancing capacities. Many practitioners report a felt sense of dialogue with living beings and the natural world.
Advanced | Awakening of the Eighth Sense
You deepen harmony with nature and people, come to know the Universal Principle, and cultivate integrative capacity. Along the way, abilities such as Akashic reading may blossom.
Advanced Special | Inner Transmission — Training Prayer Practitioners of Kōshūdō
You train in Genkō-hō (cultivating luminous awareness), Kotodama-hō (practice of sacred sound), Kekkai-hō (methods for creating a protective boundary), Enkaku-hō (distance practice), and Kami-yu-hō (prayer-based support), progressing toward the Hikari Kotodama Shōkon Prayer Method.
One breath becomes prayer, and prayer releases light. In time, breath itself becomes the Divine Breath.

My Intention
Since childhood, guided by my father’s influence, I encountered Shintō, felt the presence of divine beings, and directly experienced the power of prayer, the unseen, and spirits of the departed. In 2015, I was entrusted with the Hikari Kotodama Shōkon Prayer Method and received the oracle “calm the land.” Following where I was led across the country—to ancient battlefields, disaster sites, and air-raid locations—I performed Shōkon (inviting or calling spirits), Chinkon (ritual of calming and honoring spirits), and Shōkon (soul elevation ritual). In mountains, rivers, and seas, I served the revival of deities and dragon guardians said to be sealed, raising Pillars of Light at over 500 sites. In 2019, I received the oracle “step into the open,” and since then I have held workshops, courses, and retreats.
Through this path I came to trust that breathing is the keystone that links human beings, nature, and the cosmos. The Yamato Breathing Method is not merely a technique.
It is a way to reclaim lost sensitivity, clarify the heart, and live in harmony with the world.
As each person restores their inner light, gentle waves of harmony extend to family, companions, and society as a whole.
May you move through turbulent times by returning to your true self through breath, and live joyfully and with suppleness in your own way. With this wish, I open the Yamato Breath School.
