How Far Have You Come

That Is Much More Than You Had Expected Before

When you think about how much you have practiced Tai Chi and Qigong, and really consider it, you know what it'll be like when you have truly mastered it, don't you? To be totally relaxed, and powerful, and balanced, would be good, wouldn't it? But you are not quite there yet, are you not?

You're not quite at the top of the mountain, and to the extent that you're not there, you are ready to get there. So when you think about how you have climbed from Fascia Mastery, through Song Mastery, and to Qi Mastery, you can begin to see that you are so much farther from where you had started, and how much you have grown, that has prepared you to take the next step, successfully, now.

What I would like you to realize is that in this course, you will be focusing on what you have not mastered yet, to make sure that the skills you need, will be the skills that you have. Would that be something worth exploring?

The Gateway Beyond

Beyond the Qi within yourself that you have developed, is the Qi of the universe that ancient sages called Zhong Qi, that we call Ling Qi, Spiritual Energy. The creators of Yang Tai Chi discovered how to harness this energy, and the 8 ways by which they utilized it came to be called the 8 Neijins, Internal Forces.

The eight Neijins are called: Peng, Lu, Ji, An, Cai Lie, Zhou, and Kao. Ward Off, Rollback, Press, and Push, Pluck, Split, Elbow, and Lean. They are commonly understood as the key to mastering and applying Yang Family Tai Chi. But they are more than that: they are the methods by which you expand your awareness beyond your physical self, to manifest the universe's energies into your physical experience that elevates you above any obstacles to achieve more lightness, more power, and more balance.

Beyond Tai Chi

Awaken Your Highest and Most Powerful Self

Neijin Mastery is more than exercises to move gracefully and overcome opponents. Because as you awaken yourself to experience yourself as an energetic part of the entire universe, and feel all of that energy support and guide your every movement, how will that transform how you move in Tai Chi? How will that impact the way you move through your life?

When external hostility no longer worry you, when outside stress have been fully released, and when you can feel this blissful energy become a continuous part of your daily life, how will your health and well-being grow, above all that you have done for yourself before?

What did the founders of Yang Taichi Know?

FAQ

  • How much time does the course take?

    About 15-20 minutes each day.

    Each lesson is between 5-15 minutes, and the contents can be practiced in about the same amount of time. A few days of practice will help the skill settle into your body to be available automatically. Most persons will successfully integrate these skills in 3-6 months.

  • Can a beginner take this course?

    Yes, this course contains clear, easy instructions that do not rely on prior knowledge. However, the effort in mastering the 1st three stages of Tai Chi Fundamentals: Fascia, Song, and Qi Mastery will gradually improve the ease with which you master Neijin. That means the Fascia Mastery course if the true best place to start your journey of authentic and complete Tai Chi training, because it is the easiest course and aligns your awareness to the Fascia, the intersection surface of energy, physical body, and spiritual presence.

  • Do I need a practice partner?

    Many of these practices ask you to gradually develop your ability to maintain a mental and physical state of release, without tension, in the face of a partner's force and resistance. So to fully master these skills you will need a practice partner. They do not need any Tai Chi skill. They need just a willingness to press on you or resist your efforts to move their balance.

  • Can I take this course with my injury?

    Most of these exercises can be adapted to be performed sitting down, and require very little force. If you can sit and drive, you can likely still fully benefit from this course. But always consult your physician before beginning any new exercise or activity program.

  • What if I don't understand from the videos?

    All students have access to a student discussion community where I will personally answer each question. In addition, we will periodically have group Live coaching sessions where students can ask questions, demonstrate and ask for feedback, or ask for additional demonstrations. It is my goal for you to succeed and I will continue to support you in your journey to success

    Great news. Each enrollment comes with 2 vouchers to attend our in person weekly courses in Southern California. You are welcome to drop in during which we have Q&A and drill practice time for you to experience these methods directly, from the instructor. Please understand that these vouchers are bonus offers that cannot be redeemed for cash or other discounts.

    For convenient access, students can send the instructor videos for personalized feedback and guidance. For persons who really appreciate the interactive possibilities of live guidance, please contact the instructor private sessions, in person or via Zoom.

  • What will I get from this course?

    You will learn to be aware of and control Qi around your body. You will learn to manifest the 8 Neijins of Tai Chi. You will learn to experience the flow of energy around you and to move effortlessly and impact fully with that flow. You will learn to unblock and transform energy in a manner that is healing to yourself and to others. You will discover how accessible Tai Chi skill is for you, and what a difference that will make in your Tai Chi practice, alongside your daily life.

This course includes several Shengongs to help you overcome challenges in your mindset, beliefs, and past experiences, and to access your fullest inner potential.

Testimonials

Thank you everyone for allowing me to share your wonderful feedback.

“I told my students it's like going to your favorite store every day for years (Tai Chi) and suddenly you find a whole new room with even more delightful things to discover.”

Tai Chi Instructor, taichisusan.com

Susan Thompson

“It is a great boon to humanity when that rare Teacher arrives who is able to communicate complex topics and distinctions in a clear, simple and organized way that leads to RESULTS. This is so evident in several ways:

First, in the comments section of your videos, especially from advanced students who have been on the path for a long time and yet finally understand how to incorporate and utilize internal power, which had previously just been a concept or abstraction for them.

Second, by the level of detail in your training videos, where you are integrating and synthesizing so many different principles, many of which I had never come across despite being in the Qigong and energy healing arena for a long time now. They have been well-kept secrets indeed....until now !

Lastly, by your personal example you embody the principles of psycho-spiritual integration that develops as a result of deep internal practices, things which include kindness, generosity, and a keen intellect.

Thank you Shifu Lin.”

“I was looking for this kind of explanation! You answered my questions in a manner I could easily understand and followed up with effective demonstrations.”

“As someone training BJJ for almost 10 years I know from experience that what is explained in these lessons exists and is the true way of attaining greater mastery over your own body and mind as well as over your opponent's energy being projected on to you. It truly is fascinating what our bodies are capable of. I'm now practicing daily the 8 Silk Brocade Qigong as well as the Fascia course, and managing to apply in real life sparring for now little but fascinating elements of your teachings Master. When it works it truly feels like magic, like a black belt level details on grappling that BJJ instructors don't talk about.”

“As a long time martial arts practitioner and physiotherapist as well I recently completed Sifu Lin's Fascia Manipulation course online and I found it to be invaluable knowledge. The whole world is still only dwelling on muscles and leverage but the fascia manipulation layer is an absolute game changer. I highly recommend his course.”

“I signed up for the [Fascia Mastery] course. At first I was a little skeptical. I just finished lesson 4 and for me I think it's worth every penny. To be honest, I learned from a Sifu for 10 years and have never had this kind of knowledge. Thanks Sifu Lin.”
