Somebody who attack using a strike will have his step stopped in front of one who masters inner power. The strike will reach the unseen “wall”, even with a little rejecting move the offender will fall onto the ground. Through a look-simple hand move, a grandma causes an armed young man attacking her thrown into the air and fall on the ground painfully, and possibly with serious hurt.
Or whenever a street boy likes to tip a girl, suddenly he fall backward, since the girl push her hands without even touching him. Next, a pick-pocket suddenly stand still, and drawn back to the wallet owner he stole. An amazing scenes like those above remind us of a silat story or mandarin silat film, but as a matter of fact what is written above is not merely fiction.
In Indonesia inner power knowledge is no more a strange thing since iet is openly issued on the mass media in early 1987. Breathing exercises developed by many silat teaching center in Indonesia is proven to give much advantages. Beside being able to care our heart in a relatively short time, you can also utilize it as a very unique non physical self-defense. What is actually inner power?
It is sad that inner power is a kind of God’s decision as well as willing. Meaning that it can only work over God’s willing and authority, in that if one is in proper position then God promises victory, safety, health and prosperousness. Though basically the inner power is originated from God’s Greatness, but principally every body owns inner power since he was born. Only that this inner power is still sleeping or latently hidden, and therefore needs to be waken up. The power stays around one’s tail-bone (sulbi) at three fourth a circle. If it’s already got up it will stream a power through thirty-three segments of backbone up to the head. From head, it goes down ahead solar plexus residing a bit below the belly which is the center of sympathetic nerves. For those owning inner power, there will be an invisible protecting shine which is always protecting him from danger or devil offense jeopardizing him, even without performing any move the inner power will automatically work.
That’s the comment from one of a senior and professor on inner power in Indonesia. Inner power is also known in various arts of self-defense coming from China and Japan as we have already known. Ki or Chi is the main capital to obtain a tremendous power residing in man’s body. Through breathing originated from chest and belly there will arise the inner power able to use for defensive, self-defense, recovery, fitness, and to strike hard material. The uniqueness of inner power in Indonesia, beside those already mentioned above, is its ability to throw the contender having bad purpose, without you had to touch him. And it can also be used to protect your belongings from somebody’s bad aim, and this may be done directly or performed from long distance. For you who are just know this art of self-defense, this may make you wonder but please browse the internet about inner power from Indonesia which is unique. For the last ten years the exercise of inner power self defense grows fast.
More and more applicants for this art of self defense, since they like to own advantage ability for self protection against offense by those who intends to hurt ourselves, without doing physical move, or without touching him. Among the world of silat, or those people who have witnessed directly the exciting inner power demonstration, throwing away contender from a ten-meter distance is no longer a stranger case. Also ladies who are able to knock down offenders crowding her, without she has to make physical contact. Inner power self defense is actually not looking for participant with a tough, strong or big body posture, nor it distinguishes genders or age of any body, except learning time span which is relatively short. This is among others, the advantages of inner power self defense known wider. The public interest which keeps increasing is in fact understood, since until recently people fell less safe in the surrounding. Crime is increasing its frequency in various forms and motivations. Basically inner power can be searched alone without other’s help. Every body has got it and the most important is exercise. But it’s true that it comes faster to master if there’s teacher guidance.
The teacher has normally prepare his knowledge he obtained tens of years ago from various kinds of streams, to further systemized in order to be easier to be learned by the laymen. It’s also understood if each of the self-defense teaching centers has different opinions while they are seeking and searching for inner power resources. Aside from the place the inner power is found, case of inner power until recently is still something mysterious. Therefore, people often consider this as something against kodrat (God’s willing) and allying with devil’s power, etc. However we, Tridaya Inner Power keeps trying to explain transparently what inner power is all about, so that the mysterious thing can be accepted by common sense. This inner power strength may not be used as you like to hurt others, so that your inner power will reduce its strength. Here we will exercise patience and fertilize positive things useful to improve our own inner power. Therefore, any body who likes to learn inner power must be based upon positive thought and wish, and not to reflect negative perception against himself.
We expect the development of art of inner power self defense can spread over the countries, and may be expected further to all mankind’s welfare. Inner power is an uncovered mystery until recently. Generally we know that owning inner power would give advantage for the owner, both for health and for self-defense. In broad sense, the way one gets inner power can be split into two kinds. First method, stresses the breathing exercise. This method relies on the management of breath. Exercises performed are generally through certain moves or with certain attitudes, or with meditation. Every inner power teaching center has certain characteristics in attitudes and practicing moves which essentially aims to achieve managed breathing. With managed breathing it’s expected to have inner power arisen. The weakness in obtaining inner power “only” in breath managing indicates that the self-confidence hasn’t fully arisen whenever there’s disturbance form spiritual creatures.
Second method, inner power may be obtained through certain prayers. This method can be chosen by any body having strong belief in the existence of God The Authority. Inner power obtained through certain prayers is generally gained through: fasting, awakening and fulfilling. Through fasting there will be inner power obtained, and can have it tested. Fasting performed varies from one teaching center to another. There’s fasting done one full day and night, from subuh time up to next subuh not eating nor sleep. This is what they called self-cleaning. The prayers read during this kind of fasting come from the Holy Book’s verses or ritualizing a kind of mantra (spoken pray). Another way in obtaining inner power is through mind directing. This method aims to function our mind. Obtaining inner power with the method of mind directing doesn’t need any prayer, strategy nor special time. Mind directing may be done at any time and at any place. The implementation of mind directing is performed through directing our mind upon our breath. This is aimed to function our mind based on what we wish. The conformity between acts and wish or heart whispering, based on the mind’s ability.
This will determine the strength of inner power one gets. If we assume inner power as a series of lights, then the last light targeted by him is the “light of heart”. Through directing one’s mind to his breath routinely, slowly the “feeling of ease” will stream into his heart, breathing will be smooth automatically. Moreover, light of heart makes us able to break through the secret behind another world, and you will find unlimited own potential. The three methods of obtaining inner power above may be found in our guidance book.
