What is Neigong?
'Internal movement of energy'
In ancient China, the practise of 'Neigong',
was based on the 64 hexagrams of the I-Ching; the Jewel of Chinese Wisdom. The
purpose of Neigong was to ignite the healing potential within the individual to
achieve otherwise unattainable levels of health and vitality.
Around the 3rd century Neigong
disappeared from the records of China, however inside the schools,
far away from the public eye, the art continued to be taught to selected
disciples creating a chain of secret transmission that never ceased to exist.
Neigong includes methods that date back
thousands of years aiming to improve the vital energy (chi) circulating
in the body. Derived from principles of alchemy it has been used in
Traditional Chinese Medicine to promote health, happiness, longevity and
expanded mental ability.
“Activate latent energy to arouse wisdom”
What is Heaven Dew?
In ancient times it was said
that one of the Emperors of the Han Dynasty desired to have a long, long life
and be immortal. He would gather dew drops from Heaven, mix that
with jade powder to take
as a medicine in order to achieve his desire.
Emporer Qianlong of the Qing
Dynasty erected a bronze statue of the immortal holding a
collection plate,
which is named Chenglupan (receptacle of dew).
Today, erected according to
legend, you will find Chenglupan, on the north side of the Qionghua Islet, half
way up the hill in Bei Hai Park Beijing. There you will see a white
marble pillar carved with a design of coiled dragons, on its top a bronze
statue of an immortal facing north, in his two hands he holds the plate for
collecting Heaven dew.
