The Six Healing Sounds of Qi Gong: Liu Zi Jue:

Class is full - registration is closed!

Wednesday Nights from 6:00 - 7:00 PM - January 25th to February 22nd 2012

This qi gong set is one of the oldest methods of Taoist health preservation exercises in China. Each sound creates a vibration which stimulates and harmonizes the functioning of a specific internal organ and its related meridian. Six Healing Sound Qi Gong has been found particularly effective in breaking up stagnation and blockages to the flow of qi (vital force) and blood in the organs and their surrounding tissues. A powerful exercise for improving health and relaxing the mind and spirit.

NEW Book!

The 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. The Authentic Classic of Nei Gong, is a practical manual on internal energy development and its fundamental importance in the martial arts and fa jin (emitting force). Divided into four parts, the text takes the reader step by step through the details of Nei Gong practice, and in the final section, its application to self-defense. These four sections are:

Nei Gong Jing  (Internal Energy Classic).

Na Gua Jing  (Received Trigram Classic).

Shen Yun Jing  (Transported Spirit Classic).

Di Long Jing  (Earth Dragon Classic).

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 the Authentic Classic of Nei Gong to the internal martial art Xing Yi Quan.
