Although it is a part of the Qi Gong family it is also a distinctly separate and a more ancient Daoist practise. Nei Qong is a very highly developed internal practice, not a specific set of exercises as in Qi Gong although there are forms and exercises and movements which can seem similar. Nei Qong is a life long practice of continual refinement and development. This workshop will give you a foundation for this discipline. At a basic level Nei Qong will strengthen the body, the immune system and the mind. When that has been achieved the more refined spiritual practices (the Shen) can be explored.
• Daoist breathing techniques, meditation
• Transformation of the Three Treasures - Jing Chi Shen
• Opening the Energy Gates
• The Great Celestial Movement
• Universal Consciousness
This is an ALCHEMY workshop in the Elemental Alchemy series:
Alchemy works with deeper chi flows and principles explored and cultivated as an ongoing study. The workshops look at developing a sensitivity to Chi by coming into greater awareness of our energetic body and its physical manifestations. Cultivating emergence of a deep equanimity, opening to Shen – the spiritual aspect of Chi – making the mind still and bright.
