Nèigōng: Cultivation
The Practice
Nèigōng 內功 training is the technology that makes energetic medicine possible. Through dedicated and regular training, aspiring Nèigōng Medicine therapists develop an intimate relationship with all possible energetic expressions. This experience allows the therapist to connect to and influence the energetic system of others.
Nèigōng is about the expression and manifestation that arises from the clarity of the interaction between Yin and Yang. The practitioner fully embodies the core ideal of Chinese Medicine and Daoism; the Human Being correctly aligned between Heaven and Earth. Nèigōng is both a way to train the qualities needed to treat others, and a personal cultivation system designed to maximize one’s own vitality and human capabilities.
It is important to note that although the Nèigōng curriculum explores various means of gathering and circulating energy, the clinical therapist does not look to absorb or project energy into patients.
Our method is based on the teachings of the Bái Yuán 白猿. This curriculum explores one way of organizing a conceptual system into dualist concepts, on the path towards non-duality. We reverse the cosmological process, tracing our way from the Ba Gua, back to the Return to One.
