Energy Cultivation (Qigong & Meditation)

Energy cultivation is integral to all internal arts training. Regardless of style or method, practicing internal arts according to correct principles naturally produces energy growth and development.

Integrated Qigong Training

Moving Meditation

Tai Chi, Xing-I, and Bagua programs include Qigong (life-force cultivation) training as part of warm-ups. The forms themselves are moving Qigong methods. Over time, practitioners no longer consciously remember choreography — forms begin to flow effortlessly.

Progressive Development

When forms begin to "do themselves," practitioners move to deeper relaxation levels. Internal dialogue quiets, allowing attraction and storage of Qi at much higher levels. The body develops greater Qi density in skin, muscles, and bones.

Advanced Refinement

Adding specialized training methods helps refine increased Chi into finer, more expansive states, expanding consciousness and awareness. Correct training methods, mental focus, and perseverance cultivate internal energies for enhanced health, power, and well-being.

Specialized Qigong Programs
