the gateway to inner cultivation
Our goal is to provide students with a strong / quality foundation for the Nei Gong Practice. This is achieved through building the correct body structure, mobilization of qi through tissues, opening the channel system, mastery of breath, and cultivation of one’s Dan Tian.
What is Nei Gong?
As a term, Nei Gong can be translated as meaning ‘internal skill’ or ‘internal development’.
It is a practice of inner cultivation that originated within the wisdom traditions of China.
Nei Gong is the systematic process of developing the three core ‘bodies of man’ so that they function at their most efficient level according to the teachings of the ancient Chinese arts. This process begins with cultivating the physical body so that it is prepared for the practices that go deeper into the energetic systems of the subtle body leading further into the evolution of the minds capabilities. This 3 step process amongst the Chinese was known as Jing Gong, Qi Gong and then Shen Gong.
The process unfolds in a systematic manner. Qi Gong and Dao Yin exercises are used to develop the body. Nei Gong is then used to awaken and develop the energetic system and then these platforms are used to lead a persons mind towards union with Dao. Within the Lotus Nei Gong School, we use Nei Gong to develop the health and inner-vitality of students. Beyond this, alchemical training is built upon this solid foundation.
