Welcome

A practice that unfolds step by step

Lotus Nei Gong Polska (LNG Polska) teaches the Daoist Internal Arts in the tradition of Lotus Nei Gong International, the international school founded by Damo Mitchell. We teach Qi Gong, Nei Gong, Dao Yin, Sitting Practices and other Daoist Arts following the school's strict syllabus: carefully and in order, working, among others, with the energy centres and the Three Treasures: Jing, Qi and Shen.

Regular practice gives more than intense practice. That is why frequent online classes are the foundation, and in-person workshops are for longer practice and hands-on corrections.

The practice

What Nei Gong is

Nei Gong, or Internal Training, refers to the process of evolution that our Soul, Mind and Body go through.

This process is made up of selected exercises, coordinated with the current energy of nature, from specific series of ancient static and kinetic exercises, including:

  • Kai Men for preparatory work,
  • WuJi- standing and balancing through Ting and Sung, to harmonise Yin and Yang,
  • Dao Yin to lead, guide and cleanse,
  • Ji Ben Qi Gong- 8 fundamental exercises,
  • Wu Xing Qi Gong for balancing by activating the Heavenly Meridians,
  • Breathing Practices for anchoring and filling,
  • Dan Tian Gong- to activate the magnetic energy centre, and
  • Sitting Practice to quieten the mind, in the process of trying to reach the state of meditation.

Through these exercises, Qi is cleansed, circulated, built up and consolidated in our body.

Nei Gong is worth training for the inexhaustible possibilities it gives for developing the Body, Mind and Soul- but for this to happen, Patience, Trust and Dedication are needed, as well as practising this Art with Joy, to release our full energetic potential.

Together we will:

  • Open and Strengthen the body,
  • Harmonise Yin and Yang,
  • Create our internal “battery”,
  • Develop the energy Centres,
  • Learn the skill of inner observation,
  • Lead the mind to a state of quiet,
  • Reach the balance of the five elements.

Jing (Essence)

The body's resources, which must first be rebuilt and stabilised so that they form a safe foundation for further practice.

Qi (Vital energy)

The dynamic force of movement and information circulating in the body, which arises from the transformation of Jing in the Lower Dan Tien and needs deep release of the tissues to flow freely.

Shen (Soul / Consciousness)

The highest and most subtle form of energy.

道可道,非常道。
名可名,非常名。
無名天地之始;有名萬物之母。
The Dao that can be trodden is not an unchanging Dao.
That which can be defined is not the original name.
The nameless is the origin of Heaven and Earth; the named is the mother of the myriad beings."
Dao De Jing, wers 1, by Damo Mitchell

📍Place-
Warsaw

In the Far Eastern Internal Arts, in the School of Daoism, Zhong Ding is a concept in which: Zhong- means the centre, the axis and the inside alike, and Ding- stabilisation, or calm, which is why the whole process begins with finding your own central axis in the physical sense, so that later, by applying Sung (letting go) and Ting (listening), you find yourself in a state of full balance, through energetic openness and the "anchoring" that connects our structure with Heaven and Earth respectively.

We precisely align the skeleton and the rest of the body with the principles of gravity, and we learn to activate the energy gates that connect the Central Axis- Bai Hui (Gate of Heaven), Hui Yin (Gate of Earth) and Yong Quan (Bubbling Spring).

Through "rooting" and work with our energy centres we prevent both the scattering and the stagnation of Qi- and the skill of Ting begins to grow more and more, that is, the ability to listen without judgement to Oneself and to the process taking place...

How it works

Online sessions are held live several times a week- some of these are recorded, and the recordings are available within the subscription of all classes (Premium Subscription).
We run multi-day workshops and camps, which are held stationary, with one selected day also broadcasted, as well as one day online workshops.
Workshops typically last two days, and camps range from three to five days, with the option of accommodation, meals, and practice included- for individual selection.

First time? Workshops are open to people at every level, beginners included. You must be at least 18. Unfortunately, expectant mothers and, among others, people with viral infections cannot take part in this kind of practice.

If you have any doubts- send us a question for a consultation 🙏

We send the payment details when you sign up.
