Daoist Embodied Meditation
Nei Gong – Cultivating Inner Awareness
This Course is Level Seven of the Soma Dao Qi Gong Teacher Training
Dates:
Wed. Nov 1st, 2023 – 6:00 PM (PST) – March 20th, 2024 – 6:00 PM (PST)
Daoist Cultivation (Xiū Dào 修道) involves several practices that focus on Embodied Meditation. The two oldest, most comprehensive, and most common forms of meditation still practiced today are Chan/Zen (禪) and Nèi Gōng 内功. In the Yi Dao Huan Yuantradition of Daoist Cultivation that I have learned and now teach, any committed meditation journey begins with the study of both, but with an initial dedication to the somatic, instinctual, visceral, and existential renewal of Nèi Gōng 内功. A contemporary Nèi Gōng practice begins with learning about and embodying your meridians, exploring subtle aspects of Qi circulation, Qi wounds, and Self Healing (Nei Yang Gong),as well as connecting with your Energy Centers (Dān Tián 丹田), all while opening your Microcosmic Orbit and Energy Gates/Portals/Apertures (Qiào 竅), and becoming very skillful in several forms of Shaolin and Daoist Breathwork. As these skills come together, you will learn how to ‘induct’ a refined state of embodied harmony and stillness – allowing you to enter into the Mystery Gate of Daoist Meditation. This opening is available to everyone, and is found through immersive states of profound coherence, tranquillity, stillness, and resolve. While sharing these traditional skills and methods, I also like to include some clinical evidence on what is happening on the levels of physiology, hormonal and neurotransmitter balance, as well as the tone and resilience of your fascia, your immune system, and your nervous system.Become a Medical Qi Gong Therapist
Additional 500 Hours
(over 1 – 2 years)
Welcome to the final phase of your Qi Gong training.
You do not have to teach large Qi Gong classes to be a Medical Qi Gong therapist. You will, however, need to be comfortable teaching your clients the exercises, forms, meditations, and breathwork to improve their inner vitality. You will also need to have a regular, in-depth, and very well-balanced Qi Gong practice to be a grounded and effective Qi Gong Healer. I am going to take a moment and speak to the Qi Gong ‘experience’ and its potential. I will imagine that I am speaking to a person who is interested in going very deep into the Qi Gong Universe, and who has recently invested a great deal of time and effort in becoming embodied, aligned, and playful, while opening to vulnerability, personal healing, and conscious transformation. If you have:- Opened your joints and can actively repair your body,
- Learned to assess, assist, and replenish your internal organs and meridians,
- Cultivated a connection with Qi awareness, energy centers, and energy gates,
- Found a seasonal balance with strength, flexibility, feasting, and fasting,

Level Seven Only - 2023 - 3 payments -
Shaolin Strength and Longevity Qi Gong is a very effective and enjoyable way to strengthen your muscles, nerves, fascia, and bones, as well as ensure you do not lose your muscle mass as you age. Although most Qi Gong exercises look very relaxed and effortless, they can still improve your fitness because they activate, stretch, and tone almost every muscle and membrane in your body. If you think of your Qi and Meridians like electricity and the thickness of a wire, the more abundant your ‘wires’ are the stronger the Qi you can experience. This is especially true if you are a Martial Artist or Healer. Your meridians are made of and do many things. The vaster amount of what your meridians physically become, and what limits their function, is your muscles, tendons, blood vessels, interstitial fibres and fluids, as well as your many layers of fascia. Lengthening and strengthening all of these tissues equally and simultaneously is one of the most efficient and effective forms of Qi Gong for the health of the structural aspects of all of your meridians.Level Six Includes:
- The Muscle Tendon Change Theory and Principles (Yi Jin Jing)
- The Twelve Gestures of Wei Tuo (Yi Jin Jing Form)
- Shaolin Strength and Longevity Training
- Stone Lock (Shi Suo 石锁) Circuit Training
- Restore Your Core Qi Gong
- Daoist Heavy Hands Qi Gong
- Bone Marrow Washing Principles and Practices (Xi Sui Jing)
- Shaolin and Daoist Breathwork
- 49-Day Chan (Zen) Seated Practice.
