Over this weekend, Steve will look at techniques for more efficiently purging pathogens from the body.

Following an established process of improving physical fitness, practitioners begin to sensitize to their underlying energetic constitution, and as the energetic “body” begins to regulate by purging, practitioners move through the Nei Gong process, eventually developing requisite skills for Nei Dan.

Our bodies play a principle role in connecting Heaven and Earth and in pursuit of this core Daoist principle the spine, often referred to as the “celestial pillar” plays both a symbolic and functional role. Over this weekend Steve will work with targeted stretching and Dao Yin to open the spine and with co-ordination of breathing techniques will examine how to manage body mass, or qi.

The weekend assumes practitioners are practiced at the Dragon Dao Yins so that we can refine techniques through the application of “ting”, and develop processes to efficiently lead pathogens from the body. However, newcomers are welcome.⁠⁠⁠⁠

Supporting material will be provided via an Evernote notebook for those wishing to go deeper with their practice.
