So this is different from Qigong which is focused on drawing energy into the body and using the breath to lead it to wherever it is needed. In Neigong we are principally using mind intent to guide the energy to where we want it to go in the body. This is the beginning of the internal practices which strengthen the power (jin) and lead to increased martial and healing ability and finally to Taoist spiritual practices. In this class we will begin with learning to breathe. This Taoist method is called Longevity Breathing and is the basis of much of the work over the next two years in this series of classes. In future classes we will introduce the Taoist Water Method of internal dissolving practices which can, at the very least, help us to live without stress and improve health by dissolving the internal blockages we have accumulated in our life.

It is sometimes called "meridian-line qigong" because it helps free you of energetic (ch’i) blockages by balancing the ch’i flow that runs through the acupuncture meridians or energy channels of your body. Dragon and Tiger Qigong is especially renowned for simultaneously accomplishing three major changes in the body: " Releases stagnant ch’i that cannot move freely. Stagnant ch’i can be located anywhere there is a physical, emotional or psychic blockage of energy. Increases the speed, strength and evenness of the circulation of ch’i, blood and other fluids. This balances the body's energy. " Quickly raises the energy levels of the body to boost your natural healing capacities.
