These discussions are accompanied by extensive illustrations, including drawings rendered from photographs of famous Ba Gua masters holding the Nei Gong postures. Also included are medical applications of Ba Gua Circle Walking Nei Gong and an introduction to the rarely taught Ba Gua Energy Accepting Palm, in which vital force (qi) is absorbed from the natural environment. |
| nei gong exercises: Ba Gua Nei Gong Volume 5 Tom Bisio, 2014-11-15 Embedded within the martial art Ba Gua Zhang is a complete system of internal exercises that promote self-healing and longevity and transform consciousness. Ba Gua Nei Gong consists of nine powerful and profound methods of internal exercise and self-cultivation. This book is the fifth in a series of manuals on Ba Gua Nei Gong. It can be used in conjunction with actual instruction in Ba Gua Zhang, or employed as a stand-alone instruction manual. Tian Gan Nei Gong is indispensable to the practice of Ba Gua Zhang and the martial arts in general. The Tian Gan Exercises develop the ability of the legs and waist to generate the torsional spiraling power known as Silk Reeling Energy. Tian Gan also trains the correct internal mechanics for many of Ba Gua Zhang's martial actions such as: piercing (chuan), chopping (kan), splitting (pi), drilling (zuan), rolling (gun), pulling (la), leading (ling), seizing (na), covering (gai), overturning (fan), pressing (an), uplifting (tiao), rotating (zhuan), twisting (ning), coiling (chan) and wrapping (guo). Tian Gan literally means Heavenly Stem. The name Tian Gan refers to the longitudinal energetic axis or stem (the Central Channel) that passes through the body. In practicing Tian Gan Nei Gong, the spiraling and turning actions of the body and Central Channel, combined with the movements of the arms and legs, stimulate and open the meridians, while simultaneously wringing out the spine and its surrounding structures. This helps maintain the health of the spine, the brain and the nervous system. Tian Gan Nei Gong can be an important adjunctive practice method for various types of Daoist meditation, and a useful pre-requisite to Micro-Cosmic Orbit meditation. Ba Gua Spinal Meditation is a unique training method that enables one to sense the subtle internal movements of the spine. A detailed discussion of Spinal Meditation is included in this book because this exercise forms a natural compliment to the Tian Gan |
| nei gong exercises: Internal Martial Arts Nei-gong Bill Bodri, John Newtson, 2011 In many old martial arts films you often see a master capable of extraordinary supernormal feats such as being able to move with the speed of wind, throw incredibly heavy objects, destroy them with a strike, stride over water, or even fly through the air. Are such things possible? The Chinese Taoists say yes if the master practiced special exercises to cultivate their inner energy, or yang chi (qi). These practices to cultivate inner power are called nei-gong, or the internal martial arts, and are related to the mastery of the kundalini energies cited in Indian yogic and Buddhist literature, which also explains the various superpowers that become possible with its cultivation. Many people today want to be able to attain such supernormal skills, or they simply want to understand why and how these skills were cultivated so they might be duplicated as best possible. Some practitioners of Tai Chi Chuan, Hsing-Yi, Ba Gua Zhang, Five Animals, Aikido, Karate, Judo, Northern Shaolin, and other Kung Fu Wushu traditions have alternatively damaged their bodies from their practice, or have reached a training plateau, and want some sure methods to break their current limits and bring their martial arts skills to the next level. This book explains the major practices on how to properly cultivate nei-gong safely to achieve all these objectives. The information provided, because of its advance nature, was usually considered the high secrets of martial arts lineages made available only to the top students who also practiced breathing methods and meditation. It explains how to cultivate the mythical martial arts through the initial practice of qi-gong, and then inner nei-gong exercises involving anapana, pranayama, one-pointed visualization, kasina meditations, and sexual cultivation. It provides training information applicable to Iron Palm, Iron Shirt or Dim Mak techniques, which though incredible in themselves still fall far short of the special supernormal achievements possible after a martial arts student successfully opens up their chakras and chi channels, in particular their sushumna central channel and the macrocosmic chi circulation within the body. This is the only book in English offering detailed instructions on how to cultivate the Taoist concept of shen, which is the stage of awareness attained after cultivating your chi to a high level. For purposes of attaining inner gong-fu (kung fu), it also teaches how to cultivate the Six Yogas of Naropa and the Tibetan tantric mantras for opening up the body's central chi channel. In terms of specific long term nei-gong methods, it stresses visualization and anapana practices which are explained in conjunction with more advanced techniques for dissolving inner energy blockages. Rather than just focusing on internal martial arts kung fu, the authors go even a step further also bring forth many rarely discussed modern training principles for peak athletic performance that can be applied to martial arts, and provide practical information on various vitamin-mineral supplements, detoxification routines, and bodywork therapies that can help heal martial arts injuries and lead to improved skills even if the nei-gong route of internal martial arts energies and gong-fu is not mastered. This is a truly unique book, quite different than what's normally available for the martial arts tradition, because it provides full materials on topics raely covered elsewehre, and reveals not one, two or three but a plethora of inner training practices, even for qi-gong, along with what are normally considered their secret training details. |

| nei gong exercises: Nei Gong: the Authentic Classic Tom Bisio, Huang Guo-Qi, Joshua Paynter, 2011-04-01 Nei Gong: The Authentic Classic, (Nei Gong Zhen Chuan) is an obscure text of unknown origin, yet it stands alone as the definitive text on internal energy and the generation of internal power. Hand copied, and passed from teacher to student, it is one of the secret transmissions of Chinese martial arts. Nei Gong: The Authentic Classic, is a practical manual on internal energy development and its fundamental importance in the martial arts and fa jin (emitting force). It draws heavily on Daoist meditation and alchemical practices which are said to promote health and longevity. The text is divided into four sections: 1. Nei Gong Jing (Internal Energy Classic); 2. Na Gua Jing (Received Trigram Classic); 3. Shen Yun Jing (Transported Spirit Classic); 4. Di Long Jing (Earth Dragon Classic), which are meant to be read in order. In this way the reader is guided step by step through the details of Nei Gong practice, and in the Di Long Jing, its application to self-defense. Translated by a team of experts, the text is accompanied by extensive footnotes and diagrams that clarify the more obscure passages which otherwise pre-suppose a knowledge of Daoist texts and imagery from the I-Ching (Book of Changes). The appendices further explicate the relationship of Nei Gong: The Authentic Classic to the internal martial art Xing Yi Quan. |

| nei gong exercises: Ba Gua Nei Gong Vol. 2 Tom Bisio, 2013-11 At its heart, Daoist meditation is a simple and practical method of establishing unity between our internal environment and the external world so that we can engage with life in a clear and present way. Decoding the Dao: Nine Lessons in Daoist Meditation, by Tom Bisio, is a complete and comprehensive guide to Daoist meditation. In Decoding the Dao: Nine Lessons in Daoist Meditation, author Tom Bisio introduces the reader to the poetry and pragmatism of Daoist meditation and the practice of Internal Alchemy. The first half this unique book consists of nine progressive lessons that guide the reader step by step through the practice of Daoist meditation, ending with an introduction to Daoist Internal Alchemy. The nine lessons teach the reader how to observe and transform their own internal landscape, in order to rejuvenate and replenish the body's innate energies, thereby promoting health and nourishing life and spirit. The lessons can be practiced in sequence or individually, providing the reader with a veritable toolbox of meditative practices that can be used flexibly to address different situations and circumstances. Each lesson contains both practice exercises and discussions of relevant topics to flesh out the reasoning behind the various methods of meditation and help the reader more deeply understand the principles and theories that underlie the practice. Beyond the nine lessons, additional chapters introduce advanced practices like the Greater Heavenly Orbit Meditation and other traditional Daoist methods of promoting health and longevity. This is followed by a unique discussion of Daoist symbolism and imagery and its relationship to meditation and internal alchemy. Daoist symbols and images act as a kind of code that, when decoded and understood, aid the meditator, giving him or her an alternative and imagery-rich language which bypasses habitual mental constructs and perceptual habits, facilitating the perception of subtle movements and changes within the |

| nei gong exercises: Super Neigong of Ancient Monks David Teng, 2021-02-16 Drastically Upgrade Your Internal Body... More Effective Than Yoga, Exercise, QiGong, Taichi, Weights, Meditation, Hypnosis... A Monk's Quest for Enlightenment There was a Monk hoping to reach enlightenment (he was already close) who also heard about the Walking Meditation and is ready to start. He set up a pole that span across a temple and hooked his hair onto the pole. He would then walk back and forth within the temple and would not be able to lie down or sit down. When he got sleepy, he would nap only a little by resting against the walls of the temple. A Devotion Beyond Measure He did this for 30 continuous days. During the process, his legs and feet swelled beyond imagination. Puss and blood started to come out from lumps on the swollen feet and legs. No doubt it was painful. But people from the ancient times had a simple mind and their drive to achieve enlightenment was none like others. So it is really us that have deteriorated in the modern times. He didn’t really think much about the pain and just pushed on. If it were someone in modern times, a little pus would send him/her into a frenzy of fear and into the hospital to ask for treatment. The Ancient Wisdom Unveiled Eventually, the puss and blood stopped, and the swelling went away. The legs and feet returned to normal. But the legs are now like never before. The skins are like those of new-born babies. And not just the feet. The rest of the body too. His hair and face have also rejuvenated. It turns out the body was just casting out the toxins long stored within his body – even the toxins he was born with. The Moment of Enlightenment After a month of walk, he thought to himself, “I think I’ve done enough, and I really do need a good sleep”. So he untied his hair and start to lay down on a pillow. Just as he head touched the pillow, he did it. He attained enlightenment. So he attained enlightenment and got a much better-looking physical body. Pretty good deal, right? The Core Inner Energy Method When you practice the core inner energy method of Neigong, the inner energy generated is hard and hammer-like. It breaks down the major energy/physical blockages in your body. This is because Neigong is at the center of Qi cultivation. The Order of Qi Cultivation The important order of your Qi cultivation. The order is Wu-Gong (武功) Qi-Gong (氣功) Nei-Gong (內功) Tao-Gong (道功) Zen-Gong (禪功) The latter two, Tao- and Zen-Gong, are more geared toward spiritual enlightenment, which comes naturally after Neigong… Everyone is trying to do Zen-Gong (禪功) before all of those previous 4 steps. The reversal of this order dramatically slows their cultivation development. Nei-Gong: The Gateway to True Health Once the Neigong step is complete, one will progress into the four Levels of Zen meditative states easily. The hammer-like practices (no, it's not intense exercise) are the basis of Nei-Gong or Internal Kung Fu. This will give back a truly healthy body. This cannot be done with Wu-Gong (sports, exercises, or muscle workouts) that strengthens your physique and Qi, but not focused on clearing the internal blockages. Only after all the blockages in your body are cleared can you be called a truly healthy person. |
| nei gong exercises: 24 Section Brocade Qigong Franklin Fick, 2018-12-10 This book illustrates a 24 Section Brocade Qigong that was lost in China, but preserved in Japan. To reintroduce the art back into China, the author examined and translated the Japanese text and this set of exercises was published in 1935.One of the most popular Qigong sets is the 8 Section Brocade Qigong. There are many different versions of this exercise set. I have also seen 6 Section Brocade, 12 Section Brocade, and a version with 32 exercises (which was originally 64 exercises before it was simplified). These sets are usually either Seated Sets or Standing Sets. This 24 Section Brocade contains both seated and standing exercises. I feel that there is some Japanese influence on how the exercises are presented. Most notably, the seated exercises use the kneeling position, called Seiza in Japan. Although the exercises might not be presented exactly how they would have been practiced in China long ago, I feel practitioners will still find this information useful and interesting in their research. I also think this book will be interesting to practitioners of Japanese arts who wish to research body training methods and energy training methods. The author of this book claims that these exercises were used by the Japanese Samurai as their body strengthening and longevity method. According to the original authors words, after practicing this method for 100 days, it can make the tendons, channels, bones, and muscles of the whole body reach the condition of being solid and strong, the activity of blood circulation increases, and it can make the putrid that is stored inside the body exit completely and all sorts of diseases will not be generated. After practicing for 3 years, your strength will grow by 1000 times. The muscles are strong and solid like iron. No matter where, even using knifes and swords to stab and hack, one can not be hurt. |
| nei gong exercises: Dragon and Tiger Medical Qigong, Volume 1 Bruce Frantzis, 2010 Practiced by millions in China to release stress and maintain robust health, Dragon and Tiger qigong is also used to help prevent and heal cancer and to mitigate the effects of radiation and chemotherapy. It uses simple body movements to accomplish the same chi balancing as acupuncture. Each movement is designed to stimulate not just a single meridian but groups of meridians. In Chinese medicine, the tiger is a metaphor for a strong, healthy liver and powerful muscles, and the dragon is a metaphor for healthy and strong lungs. The Dragon and Tiger form accomplishes three major changes in the body necessary for healing: it releases stagnant chi energy; increases the speed, strength, and evenness of the circulation of chi, blood, and other fluids; and quickly raises the body's energy levels to boost its natural healing capacities. |

| nei gong exercises: Breathing Spaces Nancy N. Chen, 2003-06-04 The charismatic form of healing called qigong, based on meditative breathing exercises, has achieved enormous popularity in China during the last two decades. Qigong served a critical social organizational function, as practitioners formed new informal networks, sometimes on an international scale, at a time when China was shifting from state-subsidized medical care to for-profit market medicine. The emergence of new psychological states deemed to be deviant led the Chinese state to medicalize certain forms while championing scientific versions of qigong. By contrast, qigong continues to be promoted outside China as a traditional healing practice. Breathing Spaces brings to life the narratives of numerous practitioners, healers, psychiatric patients, doctors, and bureaucrats, revealing the varied and often dramatic ways they cope with market reform and social changes in China. |

| nei gong exercises: Da Yan Wild Goose Qigong Simon Blow, 2014-09-01 Da Yan - Wild Goose Qigong The 1st 64 movements Qigong is one of the great treasures of Chinese culture and an integral component of Chinese medical health systems. The art of Qigong consists primarily of meditation, relaxation, physical movement, mind-body integration and breathing exercises. It helps to cleanse the body of toxins, restores energy, reduces stress and anxiety and helps improve our quality of life. Da Yan translates to 'great bird' and is an ancient cultivation practice originating from the Jin Dynasty about 1700 years ago. Daoist Masters from the sacred Kunlun Mountains, in the Northern Himalayan area in south-west China, would observe the migrating geese which descended in the area each year. They would mimic the movements of these great birds and started developing the Da Yan Wild Goose Qigong system. Its healing and spiritual legacy was passed down through many generations; however Dayan Qigong was withheld from the general public until 1978. Then 27th lineage holder Grand Master Yang Mei Jung (1895-2002) decided to teach this ancient Qigong practice and share its healing benefits to improve the quality of life of all people. The 1st 64 movement set deals primary with the 'post-natal body' relating to the energy that one gathers after birth. The movements representing the flight of wild geese are slow, graceful movements and strong, quick movements designed to release stale Qi and to gather fresh Qi, helping to restore balance and stimulate the entire energy system of the body. Simon Blow is a 29th Generation of the Da Yan Wild Goose Qigong, an initiated student of the 28th lineage holder Grand Master Chen Chuan Gang, the eldest son of Grand Master Yang Mei Jung. Simon is a master teacher (Laoshi) and is the author of numerous books, DVDs and meditation CDs about the ancient Chinese healing arts. He has been initiated into Dragon Gate Daoism and given the name 'Xin Si' meaning 'genuine wisdom' and is also a Standing Council member of the World Academic Society of Medical Qigong, Beijing, China. 'This is the best version in English on Wild Goose Qigong I have ever seen. I hope all practitioners read it carefully.' Grand Master Chen Chuan Gang 'I feel strong, calm and balanced after practice. It takes me quietly through busy days, helps me to sleep and according to my husband, I 'glow' with energy post-practice.' Joy |

He did not really think much about the pain and just pushed on. If it were someone in modern times, a little pus would send him/her into a frenzy of fear and into the hospital to ask for treatment. Eventually, the puss and blood stopped, and the swelling went away. The legs and feet returned to normal. But the legs are now like never. The skin is like that of newborn babies. And not just the feet. The rest of the body, too. His hair and face have also rejuvenated. It turns out the body was just casting out the toxins long stored within his body–even the toxins with which he was born. After a month of walking, he thought to himself, I think I've done enough, and I really need a good sleep. So, he untied his hair to lie down on a pillow. Just as his head touched the pillow, he did it. He attained enlightenment. So, he attained enlightenment and got a much better-looking physical body. Rather good deal, right? Also, please do not try this because you could end up hurting yourself, even fatally. People in those days and age had simpler minds (this is a big plus) and fewer toxins in their body, whether those toxins are before, after-birth or both. The way you need to deal with those toxins and energy blockages is tricky. Most of us cannot force our way through those toxins like the monk did. You will hurt yourself before those toxins decide to leave your body. I will show you a better way. A way for the more complicated and modern-day individual. |
| nei gong exercises: Ba Gua Nei Gong Vol. 6 Tom Bisio, 2015-03-07 Embedded within the martial art Ba Gua Zhang is a complete system of internal exercises that promote self-healing and longevity and transform consciousness. Ba Gua Nei Gong consists of nine powerful and profound methods of internal exercise and self-cultivation. This book is the sixth in a series of manuals on Ba Gua Nei Gong. It can be used in conjunction with instruction in Ba Gua Zhang, or employed as a stand-alone instruction manual. This volume covers both Bone Breathing (Xi Hu Gu) and Marrow Washing Nei Gong (Xi Sui Jing), two exercises that work at the deepest levels of the body. Bone Breathing is a excellent relaxation exercise and also serves as a preliminary exercise that can help you to correctly practice Marrow Washing Nei Gong. Bone Breathing teaches you to breathe into the bones and the marrow, so that Qi and blood can circulate and enter these structures. This aids the conversion of Qi into kidney Jing and blood. Ba Gua Marrow Washing Nei Gong continues the process begun in Bone Breathing by leading Qi and breath to the interstices of the joints and the bone marrow, to the spaces between the bones and the flesh, to the spaces between the flesh and the skin, and even into the hair follicles and pores. This practice strengthens the bones and stimulates the bone marrow, thereby increasing the production of blood, while nourishing the tissues and improving circulation to every part of the body. In traditional Chinese medicine, marrow is produced in the bones, but it also fills and nourishes the brain and spinal cord. Practice of Marrow Washing Nei Gong is therefore said to aid the nervous system, strengthen the brain and improve one's mental capacity. This rejuvenates and improves the overall functioning of the body. The refined strength and sensitivity developed by Marrow Washing Nei Gong aids the martial arts practitioner on many levels - particularly in development of higher level skills such as power sensing, the simultaneous storage and relea |
