Preparing your body and mind for practice make a difference.

You'll find improvement in your practice results when you can leave a short space between whatever you were doing in life and practice time. I often will do a brief stretch if my time is short and this gets my body and mind focused on what I'm about to do. The mindset must be ready for practice for it to be effective too. Thinking about bills, what you have to do or anything outside of practice will reduce the effectiveness of your practice time.

Make every training session count. 💪😊

Keep this in mind as your practice nei gong and qi gong:

Exercises are meant to refine us as the practitioner. We practice not to perfect the movement itself, but so that the movement may build qualities within us. We embody the practice by building it into us, rather than refining the movements to look nice.

How do you integrate practice into your everyday life?

Bridging my practice of Nei Gong into normal daily life has always been at the core of what I do. Not just for the efficiency and effectiveness, but because I'm always doing my best and improving. Practice is life, life is practice. 😊🔥🙏

You may have never been told this.... so listen up

The quality of our thinking affects us greatly. Positive thinking and light-heartedness tends to give people more energy in life. Whereas negative, critical and harsh thinking tends to diminish your energy.

The choice is ours on how we think and respond to life and the events that happen. It can be hard to break a pattern of thought, but it is beneficial to think positively.

I hope you have a great day and share this with someone who needs to hear this. 😊💛

Here's a quick recap into the start of Year 2 for the Toronto Foundations Program!

Students are doing well and we're going deeper into Nei Gong practice. They're working at the level of the Qi, and now time to develop some skill there! We've covered a LOT of material in Year 1, and this second year will build off of that and go into more depth and detail so we can develop ourselves. The energetic arts take time and diligent practice to develop Gong, these lovely folks are on their Way there. 😊👏🔥

How long should I practice for?

Many newcomers to and ask this question and it's an important one.

30 mins a day or about 3.5-5 hours a week is really a minimum to get a full taste of energetic practice and to begin receiving the benefits of it. I'd recommend this.

However, stepping that up when the time and lifestyle are suitable will be greatly rewarding. 1 hour or more everyday is exponentially better than 30 mins, but consistency is the key 🔑 🔥

It is such an honor to share and guide others into energetic development with Nei Gong. My journey began back in 2010 to simply cultivate myself to the best that I can be...and this passion turned into purpose as I continue to help others seeking the same. 2013 was a huge turning point in my practice when I met my teacher (Damo Mitchell) and found authentic teachings and practice from Daoist lineage.

Nei Gong has transformed my life in HUGE ways and I see it doing the same for those who study with me.

On my way to the good folks in to teach ! It was a hop over some fluffy clouds and an epic illuminated Uber ride.

We'll be getting into more detailed aspects of energetic development and building a body. Students are getting close to the end of year 1 of training too! ...already?!? 😆😃👍

The energy of Spring is in full swing! What do you notice about Spring?

There is a strong driving force in Spring, it's why our seeds sprout up through the soil and why the flowers bloom. It's the energy of new life and more activity than the previous season of winter.

When we harmonize with this seasonal energy shift, we benefit greatly. This is a great time to start exercising more regularly and engaging the body. It's also a good time to garden or get outdoors for more sun and activity.

The Liver is related with the energy of Spring and so is the Gallbladder, as they share this energy to drive forward.

I've been working on projects and finishing them up with this strong motivating force. Enjoy the energy of Spring!

Progression of your energetic development and Nei Gong process comes from consistent practice.

Daily practice is ideal, but regular practice will make change over time. Even a little bit daily adds up to a lot of change over time. Our body and mind will get better at what we do regularly. That means activate your energy system as much as you can while in the early stages of training, that way the energy body will integrate faster and you can touch on it easier. This is the key in the beginning while figuring everything out. Soon you'll find it doesn't take any time at all to connect with the Qi and energy system and you can move onto other tasks, like mobilising and directing the Qi.
Happy training and keep the fire going! 💯 🔥
