How Far Have You Come

That Is Much More Than You Had Expected Before

As you look back at the journey you have taken, through Fascia Mastery, Song, Qi, and Neijin Mastery, how much more success have you enjoyed, than you had initially expected? And as you consider that, what have you begin to discover about your capacity to really learn Tai Chi, that is more than you had known? Because you have climbed quite far, and some of what you had thought to be obstacles, are now just fond memories from your growth. And what will it be like, when you fully realize your capacity, and rise all the way to the top?

The top of the mountain is coming into sight, and to the extent that you can see it, you can feel a sense of pride alongside a sense of eagerness. So as you reflect on the journey, you can begin to feel that you really can accomplish this, this which you had set out to do so long ago, and that had turned out to be more rewarding than you might've initially hoped for, has it not?

What I would like you to realize is that in this course, you will be focusing on the final piece of the puzzle, to make sure that the skills to complete you, will become natural parts of your Tai Chi skill, and beyond that, a natural part of how you engage your world. Would that be something worth accomplishing?

The Source of Your Reality

Above the Neijin and Spiritual Qi you have become aware of, is the essence of your Consciousness itself. When your Consciousness extends its awareness into the fabric of reality, your reality unfolds. When your Consciousness issues its intention, your impact on your reality begins to manifest. In Yi Mastery, learn how Yi flows along with the Tao, to guide the energy all around you, and the Qi within you, to bring together the true internal harmony of Yi, Qi, and Shen, inside of your every movement.

And when confronted by another person, discover the focus behind their intention, and learn how you can transform their intention itself to dissolve conflict even before the energy and movement fully arises.

Rise Above Body and Qi

Align With Your Highest and Most Powerful Self

This is more than just a Tai Chi and Qigong course. Yi Mastery represents the pinnacle of internal arts training, where physical technique gives way to pure intention, and struggle transforms into effortless control.

As you master your Yi, discover how combat becomes an expression of your highest intention, and learn how ancient wisdom meets practical application, in your personal experience and expression of Tai Chi.

Course Objectives

In this profound online course, you will learn to:

  • Control encounters before physical contact

  • Transform resistance at its source

  • Maintain perfect spiritual centeredness

  • Influence outcomes through pure intention

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

  • What if I need to feel these skills?

    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.

  • What if I need ongoing live guidance and feedback?

    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.

  • What is Shengong?

    Shengong, meaning Spiritual Work, is a special type of meditation from temple traditions to help learners access their highest spirit, overcome their mental and emotional barriers, and reach a higher level of consciousness and alignment. This course includes several Shengongs to help you overcome challenges in your mindset, beliefs, and past experiences, and to access your fullest inner potential. They are tremendously helpful practices that many traditions have not fully passed down.

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.”
