In addition, he describes a number of meditation and Yoga exercises that can help his readers awaken their “chakras”, the body’s ”circles of light”. “Motoyama is to be commended for taking a strong ethical stance, urging caution when working toward “emancipation” and stressing the need for “balance”. His familiarity with a multitude of wisdom traditions has resulted in a profound book that will be great benefit to many people who are seeking earnestly for meaning in their lives.” Stanley Krippner, Ph.D. - [Religion and Humanity for a Global Society](https://cihs.edu/product/religion-and-humanity-for-a-global-society/): "Dr. Hiroshi Motoyama has been a brilliant and innovative pioneer in the exploration of human consciousness, making contributions to the scientific investigation of conscious phenomena as well as their philosophical implications. In Religion and Humanity for a Global Society, Dr. Motoyama expands his perspective to the world-at large, providing a visionary paradigm for the survival of humanity as well as its spiritual enhancement." -Stanley Krippner, Ph.D. Professor of Psychology Saybrook Institute Graduate School "Hiroshi Motoyama’s Religion and Humanity for a Global Society advances an argument for a global religion and humanity to envision a future global society. It accomplishes this task through a comparative study between eastern and western religions (Judaism, Christianity, Islam, Hinduism, Buddhism), while guiding this argument through his own personal religious/psychic experiences and scientific experiments on these phenomena. A background concern that informs this work is the unprecedented problems we face today on a global scale (e.g. ecological crises, inter-ethnic conflicts, and the population explosion). Coupled with this, there is, among the industrialized nations, a rise in crime, drug, and alcohol addiction, divorce, sexual abuse and violence in the city, although the degree of these distortions and disorientation may vary from country to country. As a corrective to these problems the book demands a fundamental reflection on the western word-view and belief system. " -Shigenori Nagatomo, Ph.D. Associate professor of - [Science and the Evolution of Consciousness](https://cihs.edu/product/science-and-the-evolution-of-consciousness/): "Dr. Motoyama offers an integrated model of holistic man which derives from the ancient health practices of India and China. I particularly value his innovative research for the implications they hold for the development of preventive health practices for all people." -Dolores Krieger, Ph.D., R.N Professor of Nursing, New York University "If Dr. Motoyama's AMI device teaches us as much about the subtler components of the body as the EKG machine did of the heart, this revolutionary toll promises to play the role of the grandest of teachers." -E. Stanton Maxey, M.D. Florida Heart Institute "Points the way toward a unification of spirit and science in split world badly in need of healing." -Stanley Krippner, Ph.D. Humanistic Psychology Institute "Here, for the first time in English, Dr. Hiroshi Motoyama - a physician and acupuncturist, parapsychologist and psychic, yogi and electrical engineer - describes his newly devised techniques for providing the non-physical basis of Mind. The author's revolutionary research proves the validity of the ancient Indian teachings of Kundalini Yoga and the Chinese theory of acupuncture, while providing a systematic explanation of how such phenomena as psychic healing and clairvoyance really work, Dr. Motoyama establishes criteria for distinguishing between true pathological states of mind/body and the often similar symptoms that may result from meditation and mystical experience. He also offers a rationale for the practice of yoga aimed at cultivating the highest potentialities of human consciousness. " -Rande Brown - [The Correlation Between Psi Energy and Ki](https://cihs.edu/product/the-correlation-between-psi-energy-and-ki/): “For the past 15-20 years I have interacted with my good friend, Hiroshi Motoyama, on matters dealing with gaining scientific evidence for the existence of subtle energies functioning in humans. To my knowledge, no one in the world has advanced this effort more than Dr. Motoyama with his invention of the AMI (Diagnostic Apparatus) and the Chakra Machine…the AMI stands in a class by itself! “With the AMI fully developed… Energy Medicine will have come of age….With the AMI studies, humankind will make the transition form a chemical medicine and a chemical physiology of the body to an electrical medicine and an electrical physiology of the body.” -William A. Tiller, Ph.D., Professor at Stanford University, USA “I witnessed the extreme efficiency provided by the AMI in detecting energy malfunctions in human begins, which no other instrument in Western technology is able to pick up yet… “I can easily forsee the AMI research leading scientists around the world in the recognition of the existence of subtle energy systems permeating the body and providing the regulatory mechanism for its physiological and psychological homeostasis. “Dr. Motoyama is indeed one of those rare pioneers which appear from time to time in the history of health science to show the way for others to follow.” Steven F. Brena, M.D., Clinical Professor, Rehabilitation Medicine, Emory University, USA - [Science and the Evolution of Religion](https://cihs.edu/product/science-and-the-evolution-of-religion/): In addition to his profound religious experiences derived from severe ascetic practices, based on his studies of religion and philosophy of East and West, old and new, as well as his research by electrophysiological and biophysical experiments, the author elucidates that true religion evolves in accordance with the stage of mankind’s psycho-spiritual growth, sustaining all things and giving life to all beings. The author explains in plain words that religion and science are mutually complementary and that peace for mankind could be realized when religion evolves to the stage of World Religion. - [Theories of the Chakras](https://cihs.edu/product/theories-of-the-chakras/): Although chakras are invisible to our ordinary sight, Hiroshi Motoyama believes in their existence. Chakras are energy centers that form a working link between our physical and astral bodies. They are indispensable to good physical, emotional, and mental health. Through intensive yogic exercise, diagrammed and explained in his book, the author became keenly aware of his own chakras. Then he invented a machine, a physiological recording device, capable of scientifically measuring chakras. It's all here, dramatically demonstrated in this "breakthrough book" on a subject of immense importance to all students of occultism. In large part, chakras were brought to the attention of the Western world by clairvoyant Charles W. Leadbeater, whose work is discussed in detail by Motoyama along with that of other respected seers and yogis. - [Toward a Superconsciousness](https://cihs.edu/product/toward-a-superconsciousness/): This book is designed to be a guidebook for the initiates as well aseasoned practitioners of Yoga meditation, and approaches the subject from the comprehensive standpoints of physiology, neurophysiology, psychology, parapsychology, philosophy and religion. People who practice other forms of Eastern of Western meditation should also benefit from this book, because it clearly demarcates the phenomena that characterize each stage of meditational practice and hence serves as a yardstick for their progress in spiritual growth. "In this book, Dr. Motoyama presents a superb overview of oriental theories and techniques to achieve Self Realization, supported by convincing evidence from the research laboratory." - [Varieties of Mystical Experience I](https://cihs.edu/product/varieties-of-mystical-experience-i/): In many other countries and regions throughout the world there are people who believe that human beings are more than a physical body and a consciousness, Underneath is the soul or godliness, which works to promote spiritual growth in each person. Although each ethnic group, nation, and religion perceives these things in its own independent way, I believe movement is beginning that will build a human society where all can live at peace together and in harmony with nature. This book shed further light on yoga and the experiential elements of mystical experiences, and will provide my reader with a scientific perspective on such experience. - [What is Religion?](https://cihs.edu/product/what-is-religion/): This book offers some theories in response to the question, “What is Religion,”, based on wisdom and knowledge from directly perceived experience. It also offers some suggestions about what a new world religion should look like and how it should respond to our global society of the near future. - [Being and the Logic of Interactive Function](https://cihs.edu/product/being-and-the-logic-of-interactive-function/): This is a culmination of Dr. Motoyama's thoughts on spirituality. People who are interested in religious or mystical experience will find the present volume to be appealing and insightful. He uncovers many aspects of spirituality by disclosing the" metaphysical" world vis-à-vis spiritual phenomena, while employing meditational experience he has gained as a foundational perspective – highly recommended for students and academicians in religion and philosophy. - [Buddha’s Satori](https://cihs.edu/product/buddhas-satori/): The historical Buddha’s enlightenment indicates a highly achieved state of experience, but the logic of this experience is such that it does not lend itself fully and easily to an intellectual understanding. …In spite of this gap between personal experience and intellectual understanding….I have not read any other accounts of this topic that are packed with so much useful information as here in Motoyama’s piece….Because the text contains this intrinsic merit, I am confident that it will appeal to those who have a personal, existential interest in Buddhist meditation in particular and meditation in general. - [Comparisons of Diagnostic Methods in Western Eastern Medicine](https://cihs.edu/product/comparisons-of-diagnostic-methods-in-western-eastern-medicine/): "Is it Possible to Compare a state of health or illness diagnosed by Western medicine with an analysis of Chinese medicine utilizing the Sei points of the meridians? We did not have any method to answer this question with certainty in the past. However, use of the AMI allows us to measure the activity of the Sei points of the meridians. We have come to have expectations for this newly developed system of diagnosis, which combines the merits of Western and Chinese medicine. Articles in this book suggest this new era will be sure to comp up soon." -Tatsuya Ishikawa, D.D.S.,Ph.D. President, Tokyo Dental Collage, Japan "Early diagnosis of physiological dysfunction is critical for preventative approaches and for interventional therapies of human diseases. In this book, Dr. Motoyama presents a comparisons of diagnostic between Ki energy and environmental conditions. The acupuncture meridian system has become an established part of the therapeutic armamentarium of modern medicine. By inventing the AMI to evaluate functioning of meridians, Dr. Motoyama developed a new and very user-friendly tool for the diagnosis of physiological abnormalities. This diagnostic approach breaks new ground in clinical medicine using a modern computer base modality, because it is sage, non-invasive fast and painless. The effectiveness of Dr Motoyama's AMI should prove beneficial to Modern Medicine." -Rajavashisth Tripathi, Ph.D., Associate professor of Medicine, Cedars Sinai Medical Center, UCLA School of Medicine, USA "With the perseverance of a pioneer, Dr. Motoyama applies successfully the methodology of pure science in the field of Eastern medicine. The result is an acute and precise book on the scientific study of Ki and on the correspondence between occidental medical diagnoses and AMI device data. More than a mere bridge between Eastern and Western medicine, this book proposes a real and profound merge of both traditions, strengthening a young field of investigation - the scientific studies of Ki and other subtle energies. At the beginning of the third millennium, this book revels how energetic medicine would give us a better understanding of the holistic nature of humanity." -Jules Gauthier, M.D., Acupuncturist, Member, Canadian Medical Acupuncture Society, Canada -Rene-Pierre le Scouarnec, Ph.D., Psychotherapist Researcher, Clinique Psyche, Montreal, Canada -Roger-Michel Poirier, M.D., Psychiatrist Professor, Faculty of Medicine, University of Montreal, Canada - [Karma and Reincarnation](https://cihs.edu/product/karma-and-reincarnation/): Karma and Reincarnation is based on the work and experiences of Dr. Hiroshi Motoyama, a scientist and Shinto priest with a worldwide following.

The AMI device has a great future and, through its use in many laboratories around the world, we will learn a great deal about both the acupuncture meridian system and subtle energy functioning of the human body." William A. Tiller, Ph.D., Professor Emeritus Department of Materials Science & Engineering Stanford University, U.S.A. "The lifelong work of Dr. Motoyama has been to provide an empirical basis to our intuitional awareness of one of those subtle energies, the Ki, one of the specific “PRANAS” of ancient Hindu lore. In this book, Dr. Motoyama has presented a large volume of empirical knowledge concerning the flow of Ki in human bodies, its measurements and clinical applications. This knowledge is much needed today, especially in Western science, given the Western ambiguity toward Oriental medicine, particularly acupuncture, and the appalling ignorance of so many self-styled Western specialists in acupuncture who pretend to speak and write about it." Steven F. Brena, M.D. Clinical Professor of Rehabilitation Medicine Emory University, U.S.A. "This book is a modern classic in the scientific study of Ki (vital energy) within he context of the organ/meridian system of the human body. It is the result of several years of intensive study, during which Dr. Motoyama made constant improvements in his famous AMI device for measuring Ki, both physically and physiologically. This book embodies great technical expertise, immense wisdom and boundless compassion. It represents another vital step forward in our efforts to achieve “health for all”. It is essential reading for every serious student of Oriental medicine which – like the work of Dr. Hiroshi Motoyama – has so substantially withstood the test of time." Steven KH Aung, M.D., President Canadian Medical Acupuncture Society, Canada - [Meridian Exercises for Ki Energy](https://cihs.edu/product/meridian-exercises-for-ki-energy/): Achieving the dynamic balance in the flow of Ki energy is extremely important to maintain good health of Body, Mind and Spirit.
