About this listen
In this interview with Damo Mitchell of Lotus Nei Gong, we discuss the common assumption that practices like Tai Chi, Qigong, or Nei gong are easy to learn and require little preparation. The guest explained that this is a misunderstanding, as the body must be transformed before one can effectively practice these arts. Meditation is also not an exception, as it too requires the transformation of the body. The guest further explained that internal arts are the antithesis of normal living, and require the body to be transformed to handle higher levels of practice.
💡 Even with all the information available, it is still difficult to discern what is authentic or not, as most people do not have the discernment to identify the actual authentic practices.
- 💡 There are certain practices that require a direct connection and transmission from a teacher to the student, and one cannot learn them solely by reading or watching videos online.
- 💡 The moral and ethical code of students in Eastern traditions is not emphasized as much as it used to be.
- 🌟 Access to certain teachings were previously granted only to those who could demonstrate the required moral character to receive them.
