Nei Kung
Nei Kung is an internal
system of Chi Kung, employing slow, deep breathing and requiring a relaxed
physical stance and mental attitude. (The external approach to cultivating
chi is characterized by heavy breathing and rapid diaphragmatic exercises.)
Nei Kung practice charges up the body's energy.
The effects in the initial
Workshop are dramatic, and the profound extent of the training often becomes
apparent as early as the first two weeks of regular practice.
Nei Kung has been refined, and handed down from Master
to Master since the time of Yellow Emperor (2696--2598 b.c.e.). It evolved
from the Taoists' search for a way to rejuvenate and heal the body, to increase
internal strength and energy.
There is a saying in China that if you pursue the Ch'uan
(fighting technqiue) without practicing (Nei) Kung, when you reach old age
you will not have anything to show for your efforts. Great importance is
traditionally placed on the study of Nei Kung in conjunction with Tai
Chi Chuan. In order to attain a high level of ability in Tai Chi, one
must know and practice Nei Kung diligently.
