Neigong and Qigong (Internal Work and Energy Work)

Richard Clear

Neigong and Qigong (Internal Work and Energy Work)

Origin: Wudang Qigong, Daoist Internal Alchemy

In Clear Tai Chi, "Feel the Energy" is not just our motto, it is our training philosophy. There are many kinds of Qigong, ranging from physical "Farmer Exercises," to Mind directed Energy Work. The latter category is commonly called Neigong, or "Internal Work." Performing Neigong requires an ability to sense and manipulate the energy in and around the body.

In this session, we will focus on some of the most accessible Neigong exercises in the Clear Tai Chi system. This will include a rarely seen "Internal Marrow Washing" meditation, as well as several Neigong / Qigong exercises from Wudang Mountain. These exercises were chosen to help even beginners to feel, build, and circulate their Qi.

Richard Clear, with over three decades of experience since 1986, has been teaching these methods to Qigong and Taiji students. Join us to explore these practices and truly "Feel the Energy."
