7 Qi Gong Mistakes That Can Block Your Practice
Based on my experience and the things that my students report to me, I thought to make a video to explain 7 mistakes that we make when practicing Qi Gong. These are recurring mistakes I have noticed that can prevent us to grow on the path. Here they are! 1- RIGHT TOOLS: The first point that can prevent us to grow in our Qi Gong practice is actually finding the right tools. Nowadays we are bombarded with so many offers on the web and everybody is promising something great. But

Misleading Mysticism: The Trap Of The Spiritual Journeys
When we start a spiritual path, be it Buddhist, Christian, etc, most of the time we get too much involved with the external aspect of it. We don’t realize that the rituals, the story behind the religion, the clothing, a particular mantra, and so on, represent only the “tools”, not the end game. If we get too attached to a system or a belief, we forget that we are something more than all of that. We might forget who we truly are. We become rigid, with many opinions and ideas,

Does Spiritual Enlightenment Really Exist?
Enlightenment is an escape. It's a concept we believe in when we have conflict within ourselves. We try to find a solution, an appealing solution, in some kind of world that is not this. A world that is not within our perception. We have conflict inside and we create more conflict by looking for something outside of ourselves. We resist life. We resist what we perceive. How can this bring the enlightenment that we are hoping for? That's a kind of nonsense, isn't it? If we wou

How to Transform your Life & Grow Spiritually with Nei Qi Gong
Working with ourselves means also encountering our limits. It means to see our negative tendencies and transform those lower tendencies into a greater aspect of ourselves. It's about knowing ourselves on a physical, emotional, and mental level. The Nei Qi Gong path can transform our minds and turn bad habits into good ones. As long as there is mind movement, we will never find that natural blissfulness that we have as human beings when we relax. Nature is a beautiful space to

Nei Qi Gong: Authorized Instructors & Copyright
Today I’m clarifying a very important aspect of the Nei Qi Gong: who can teach it and why the system is protected by copyright. Nei Qi Gong is not some sort of course or training you follow for a couple of days to then become a teacher. It's a very serious, efficient, and powerful system created by my teacher Shifu Costantino Valente. He is the founder of the Nei Qi Gong Fu school. This is a practice that can only be taught by an authorized instructor, like me for example, an

Spiritual Business: Taking Advantage of Our Ignorance
Spirituality has become a mess nowadays and let’s be frank about this: we’re cheating each other! It’s a shame and it’s sad to see people that do business out of something they don’t really know anything about. They take advantage of people’s confusion, fragility, and insecurity. Unfortunately this happens quite often. The web is full of spiritual retreats of all kinds: for the feminine, the masculine, ayahuasca retreat, and so on. A popular one is the tantra retreat where pe

The Difference Between Nei Qi Gong & Qi Gong
One of the questions I get asked often is what is the difference between Nei Qi Gong and Qi Gong. When we talk about Qi Gong we are referring to all those breathing, static, or dynamic exercises that aim to work with vital energy: the invisible layer of reality, called Qi by the Chinese people, that flows in the meridians and regulates our health. Like an underground system of pipes, Qi regulates our human functions and it’s the foundation that also delivers the energy and th

Is Nei Qi Gong like the Mo Pai system of John Chang?
Many people contact me with the silly idea of developing superpowers. I get contacted by many who are interested in Mo Pai. This is a lineage of teaching coming from John Chang, a teacher from Thailand who passed away a couple of years ago. There is a documentary of him filmed by the BBC and available on youtube called “The ring of Fire” and also a book, written by one of his students, where I think these superpowers are over exaggerated. For me it’s not about superpowers. It

Is There Really a Meaning to Life?
In this video I will try to address probably the most impossible question: what is the meaning of life? This was a question that used to bother me a lot, creating lots of issues in my life. While a Buddhist practitioner, I always asked myself questions like: Why is life so painful? Why don’t things go the way I want? I was trying to make sense out of life, of its purpose, and my role in it. These are questions that keep us occupied all our life; they create conflict, blame, a

How To Become Emotionally Stable With Qi Gong
When we start following a spiritual path we do it for several reasons: some of us are looking for a more meaningful life, and others want to resolve their inner conflicts and have a pleasant experience in life. Growing personally or spiritually involves big work. It is not something that society encourages us to do, especially because does not make money. It requires money and time! It is also the toughest thing to do because it means discovering and facing our personal limit

Q&A with Jiaoshi Andrea & Julian (Cyprus): Integrating Meditation and Nei Qi Gong in our Daily Life
I have recently asked my followers and students if there was any topic that they would like to touch on together in an open discussion that would have been shared on my Youtube channel. In this video, I am talking with Julian from Cyprus, one of my students that recently started the path of Nei Qi Gong. It was very interesting to talk together and explore certain topics related to Meditation, Qi Gong, and their practical integration/implication in our daily lives. Most of us

(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
