The Endless Illusory Journey of Spiritual Seekers (Tulum, Mexico)
Unfortunately, when I meet people who are interested in spirituality, I see the same problems all the time: people are constantly in search of something, confused, unbalanced emotionally, uncertain, insecure, lonely, fearful, disconnected from what is around them. I was in the same situation for a long time. Constantly searching for something more. I was living what I could define now as a "childish form" of spirituality: based on beliefs, rituals, ceremonies, ayahuasca, peyo

Xing Shen Zhuang Gong - The Best Chinese Longevity Practice (Learn Online and in Costa Rica)
The first level of the Nei Qi Gong system is called "Xing Shen Zhuang Gong", which means "the unification of the spirit with the frame". It is considered to be the best Chinese longevity practice because unlocks the circulation of Qi in the whole body through the meridians regulating health, strength, psycho-physical well-being, longevity, and awareness.

(Costa Rica Tour 2022) Nei Qi Gong Seminar 1°: Xing Shen Zhuang Gong
NEI QI GONG IS A MILLENNIAL PRACTICE THAT UNLOCKS, INCREASES, AND RELEASES OUR VITAL ENERGY ("Qi") IN A CONCRETE AND VISIBLE WAY, FOR HEALTH, MARTIAL ARTS, SPIRITUAL GROWTH, AND HEALING OTHERS The problem is that Qi is generally still an abstract concept because the practices taught - in the West but also in the East, from Qi Gong to Tai Chi and Reiki - are based on the mechanical repetition of movements and/or physical sensations that are too light. ​We don't really know why

The Activation of the "Third Eye" or Shang Dan Tian in the Nei Qi Gong system
In many spiritual traditions the Third Eye, also called Shang Dan Tian in our system, plays a very important role in the process of one's own spiritual evolution. There is some confusion about it, due to the fact that spirituality has lost its strength as it has become widely available, creating lots of misconceptions about it. In the Nei Qi Gong school, we talk of three main energy centers: Lower Dan Tian, Middle Dan Tian, Higher Dan Tian. Each of these centers has very spec

What is Qi or Vital Energy?
When asked "What is Qi or Vital Energy?" I will not be able to give a direct answer. For sure I can say that it is an aspect of existence, something that we can explore and grow within ourselves using particular ancient systems that are able to help us do this. These Qi Gong exercises have the goal in the beginning to help us become sensitive to this level of reality, by opening the meridians in our body, and thus starting the process of cultivation of Qi and strengthening th

How To Avoid Negativity In Pandemic Times!
We are living a difficult moment in society which is creating even more pressure on our minds, filling it up with uncertainty. If the human condition is already quite chaotic, we have to understand that during this Covid-19 times, it is even more difficult to find stability. People are deadly scared of the situation, which is leading them to act in a quite erratic way. Their minds are under pressure, and their actions sometimes are out of control. When we are affected by fear

The Importance of "Intention" in Qi Gong Practice and Exercises
When we practice Qi Gong, we are working with our minds as well. While executing certain instructions that we might have learned, it is important to keep ourselves free from any expectation. In fact, practicing an exercise with the idea of developing certain energetic sensations might lead to a wrong territory, especially at the beginning of our path. We could end up imagining things that do not exist.Our intention plays a very important role in the Qi Gong practice, especial

Qi Gong Teacher: The Best Way To Learn Qi Gong
It is more and more difficult to keep people down to earth. Especially in the field of Qi Gong and spirituality, in general. Sometimes, people learn few things, practice for a very short period of time and feel that they have already understood the principles behind these technologies. The worst thing, that unfortunately happens many times, is that people feel entilted to give instructions to others or even teach. And they might even do that only because they have read some b

Qi Gong Teacher: Isolate yourself from the ground
There is a lot of confusion on the web about Qi Gong's best practices. Unfortunately, this is due to the fact that many Qi Gong exercises we find on the web do not come from proven systems, taught and shared by teachers who have an actual experience of Qi Gong principles. Nowadays, anybody reading a Qi Gong book feels entitled to give suggestions on how to practice to others. Sometimes in the wrong way. This is due to the fact that the topic of energy and spirituality has bec

Qi Gong Music: Nei Qi Gong Music n.1
A while ago, I have created a piece of music suitable for the Nei Qi Gong practice. Under the "artistic direction" and guidance of Shifu Costantino Valente, I produced this music that could help practitioners during their daily practice: to relax more, and create the perfect dimension to enter more deeply into the essence of this discipline. The music was only available for purchase on the Nei Qi Gong Fu shop, (that I also have created). Now I have decided to make it availabl

Qi Gong: The Big Mistake of Chen Bao Shi (Hugging The Tree Posture)
The current spiritual and energy practice scenario is a mess. Everybody on the web talks like an expert master, because they read some kind of book about Qi Gong or attend some kind of 2-day teacher training program. People discuss in the Facebook groups and give recommendations to each other on what is best to do and how, without having a practical and direct understanding of it. Most of the time, they are just starting out and following a "new age approach" to reality. So e

Qi Gong: The Experience Of Feeling The Qi (Energy)
When we start a Qi Gong practice for the first time, we bring lots of expectations to it. We start reading about Ying Qi, Yang Qi, Jing, Qi, Shen, and so on. Everybody on the web seems to have an opinion and intellectual explanation about it. However. the most important thing is the actual fact and experience of it. Although there are words and ways of describing the manifestation of Qi in the body, they do not represent the actual experience. And they might even create a wro

Qi Gong Exercise: Proof Of A Force Stronger Than Muscles (Qi Energy)
There is one force in the human body that is not based on muscles. That increases with time, rather than decaying with aging. This strength/force is not based on contracting the muscles. On the contrary, it is based on relaxation and filling up the body with this "mysterious thing", that Chinese people called "Qi or Vital Energy". We could say intellectually that this energy is everywhere, all around us. That it manifests itself, in various forms Yang Qi or Ying Qi, or Jing,

If We Make Too Many Questions, We Have Too Many Problems
It is a tendency of the human mind to make questions, investigate things, to dissect reality into small pieces. However, our limited mind can only see a portion of life, never the full picture. It is just out of our capabilities as limited entities. You might have heard the expression fools and children are blessed by God and luck. There is an underlying truth there. Lightness is a good way of living especially if it comes out from the depth of vision and not superficiality.

Kill The Guru: Look Life Horizontally
The biggest problem that we all have is that we do not think and see according to our own perspective. We see gurus, experts, teachers, as the ones who hold the truth. And we underestimate ourselves and our own possibility to experience and see things clearly for ourselves. We create images of people and things around us. Without taking into consideration that maybe what we see is actually a distorted perception of what things truly are. Instead of approaching any human being

The Power Of Discipline: Qi Gong Routine
Life takes us through ups and downs constantly, and we cannot control it. However, we can optimize our system (body, mind, emotion, vital energy) to work for us, rather than against us. Putting us in the condition of dealing with anything we experience in life in a better way. The stronger we become, the more we are able to deal with what life throws at us. I understand that discipline might sound like a terrible word that creates a certain degree of pressure and lack of free

It Takes Courage To Change...
It takes courage to change. To leave what we think we know, and face the actual fact that life is uncertain. We can try to build structures, friendships, relationships, jobs, but none of them stay forever. And there is no such thing as safety in the external world. Everything is destined to change. We live in a tremendous society. And we can all agree on this, I believe. Just go for a walk and look around, or turn on your TV. One might ask what is the point of all this? To pr

Intellect Is Limited. Any Explanation Cannot Deliver An Absolute Truth
Intellect wants to understand and analize things in every aspect. And that is tragedy because by attending to the investigation of one thing and putting all our attention in it, we miss sometimes the full perspective. We kill things, rather than living them for what they are. The attitude of always questioning "why?" is quiet bothering. A child asks why endlessly. When we grow up, it gets to a point where most questions are not that relevant anymore, and become almost annoyi

Do Not Acquire Beliefs, Pell Them Off (The Use Of Psychedelics To Grow Spiritually)
New exotic beliefs, spiritual systems, medicinal plants, drugs seem to be preferred ways to address the need of evolving from our own human condition. Whether we do that because we want to be happier or explore other human possibilities, sometimes we turn the human evolution process into a spiritual circus. Some of the people who explore psychedelic drugs get so much attached to those experiences, that they look for them over and over. Certain experiences, similar to those on
