Introduction To Neigong Training The Neigong system that you are being in- troduced to today is divided into three different levels of mastery: The 16 Internal Principles - The 40 Energetic Functions - and The 8 Metaphysical Manifestations. All of which correspond to the 64 Trigrams of the Yijing and are a part of eso- teric Daoist Wudang training that I have studied throughout my life. Because this training is considered to be the Wednesday, May --, 2021 true power of any master’s internal ability – in ancient China it was used as the foundation of all 8:00 a.m. Principle #1: Move from Center serious martial, medical, and spiritual cultivation Three bodies move as one unit from the three practices. centers (body breath, & mind), relaxed, and ener- I mentioned these 16 Internal Principles in getically rooted.
