A Memorable Visit: Advancing in Nei Qi Gong with Shifu Costantino Valente


In this video, I share highlights from my recent visit to see my teacher, Shifu Costantino Valente, alongside one of my students, Thanasis, who traveled with me from Greece. This visit marked a significant milestone in both our Nei Qi Gong journeys and was filled with unexpected surprises and meaningful moments.


Learning the 5th Advanced Program: Lianhe Dantian


I went to continue my training and learn the fifth advanced program, Lianhe Dantian, a practice focusing on the unification of the three Dantians and Qi Emission, known as Fa Qi or Fa Gong. To my surprise, Shifu guided me through my first Qi Emission on the same day he explained the practice—a moment made even more special with his support and encouragement. Shifu has always been an extraordinary teacher and has shown special care towards me, likely due to my rapid progression and the connection we share.


Thanasis’ Journey: From Student to Instructor


Thanasis joined me for his own advancement, including learning the second advanced program and receiving his initiation into the inner school of Nei Qi Gong practitioners. Additionally, I invited him to become an instructor at Nei Qi Gong Fu school.


This journey with Thanasis has been remarkable—he discovered Nei Qi Gong through a Facebook ad I posted before COVID-19, and from complete strangers in different countries, we have built a deep, trusting friendship. Over time, I saw great potential in Thanasis. Although he never sought an instructor role, I believed in his qualities and his sincere dedication to vital energy and human development. Shifu approved this transition, trusting my judgment and recognizing Thanasis' genuine approach to the practice.


Unexpected Surprises


Our two-day visit brought us unexpected and wonderful moments:


  1. My First Qi Emission – A practice I performed on the very first day of learning the new program.


  1. Thanasis’ Acceptance as an Instructor – A significant step that affirms his dedication and commitment to Nei Qi Gong.


  1. Energetic Guidance from Shifu – Shifu supported us with energy treatments and shared his Qi Emission practice, further enhancing our understanding.

This video captures glimpses of our time with Shifu, moments of learning and laughter, and a brief interview we recorded at the end of our trip.
