Kihō

Kihō were philosophical and spiritual techniques for aligning one's inner energy - ki - to that of the wider cosmos. This allowed practitioners to act in perfect harmony with the universe's natural course and tap into its limitless potential. They were primarily practiced by monks and others seeking spiritual enlightenment. Kihō had additional elemental classifications.
