Energy Mastery

Three-Circles-Stance

Energy mastery provides us with the tools and practices for physical, emotional, energetic and spiritual wellbeing.

Mastering your energy leads to:

  • Inner peace
  • Meaning
  • Connection
  • Resilience
  • Agency
  • Deeper enjoyment of life

 

Each month I will take you step by step through the stages of energy mastery, from energy awareness and generating an energy flow, through to transmitting energy for healing.

Mastering energy is mastering self.

Rather than just getting through the day, week, year or life we start to embrace all things that come our way.

With the mastery of energy, we learn how to heal ourselves, situations, relationships and others.

We get to experience life as a ‘meaningful flow of energy’. We feel connected to something beyond ourselves. You could say we become at one with everything.

Energy Mastery is open to everyone

If you are new to qigong or energy work, this course will guide you step by step through the foundation skills and beyond. And if you have been practicing for some time, you will be able to come to the practices afresh, refine your skill and understanding, and fill in any gaps.

The first two modules of the Energy Mastery course will teach you the skills you need to become aware of your energy through body awareness, breathing and relaxation practices. Then you will learn to generate energy flow, and to use this in movement, walking and working.

If you are a beginner or new to qigong, this is a great place to start.

You will discover the old habits and conditioning that can cause tension and stop energy flowing freely. And you will learn to generate an energy flow, the fundamental skill of Shaolin Cosmos Qigong that sets it apart from gentle movement exercise and makes it powerful in helping you clear tension, stress and illness.

The Energy Mastery Courses

Discover: Relaxation, Breath and Body Awareness

The first module of the course explores alignment, breathing and relaxation over four lessons. You will learn techniques to increase your awareness, let go of old habits and enter deeper states of relaxation.

This part of the course is all about developing awareness of energy in states of stillness.

With these skills in place, you will have a strong foundation for the mind and energy practices that come later in the course.

Energy Mastery 1: Discover consists of four hour-long recorded classes to take in your own time, with permanent on demand access and support by email. Price £79.

Circulating: Generating Energy Flow

Module Two of the Energy Mastery course focuses on the skills of generating an energy flow and circulating energy.

If you want to learn to experience energy flow and be able to use it in everyday life, this part of the course is ideal for you.  

And if you are already experienced, you will be able to go deeper into your practice, refine your skills and develop your awareness and understanding even further.

Energy Mastery 2: Circulating Energy is four hour-long recorded classes to take in your own time, with permanent on-demand access and support by email. Price £79.

The practice and skill of Cleansing in Qigong

One of the important practices and skills of Qigong to understand and make use of is ‘Cleansing’.

  • But how much cleansing is good for you?
  • How long should you practice for?
  • Are there any times where cleansing is not a good idea?
  • Can you cleanse too much?
  • Can cleansing cure anything?

These are just some of the questions I am asked by students, unsure about best practice.

Do you have questions about your own practice, or would like to develop and deepen your understanding of this fundamental practice?

Whether you are a beginner or seasoned practitioner this is not a class you will want to miss.

Learn simple and effective methods you can use to help:

  • The skill of letting go
  • Overcoming unhelpful habits
  • Cleansing at the physical, emotional and spiritual levels
  • How to avoid over cleansing
  • Cleansing at the appropriate level for you
  • Manage intense emotional cleansing
  • Distinguish between symptoms of cleansing and symptoms of sickness
  • The importance of heart in cleansing
  • Daily practices you can adopt to release tension, stress and unhelpful thoughts

Energy Mastery 3: Cleansing - four pre-recorded classes. Price £79.

Qi Building, Increasing Internal Energy

No Energy, No Life

In time, we all become shaped by the winds of life, but just like a tree firmly flowing with vital force, roots deep, we still stand, rooted and alive in the here and now.

The practice and skill of Building Energy

In the early stages of Qigong, you practice relaxing, releasing held tensions and developing the skill of generating an energy flow. These practices pave the way for the body to store more internal energy (life force). Internal force is a function of the volume of energy you have available, the smoothness of Qi flow and the ability to apply Qi effectively.

As you learn to increase Qi volume, you will develop awareness and skills to use your energy more effectively, giving you:

  • Inner strength to keep going when things are difficult
  • Energy to do things efficiently, even when under pressure or tired
  • Vitality and focus on doing well in the things you enjoy or need to do
  • A feeling of inner stability and groundedness
  • A greater sense of ease and confidence

During this course, you will get an experiential understanding of the differences between flowing and consolidating force and develop the skills of building internal Qi through simple, direct teaching and guided practice.

To further develop your skills from the cleansing classes, we will practice strengthening energy at the physical, emotional, mental and spiritual levels.

These classes differ from the Fully Alive Level 4 Building Internal Force course. Although there will be similar practices you can build on.

The practice and skill of Refining Energy

Increase the quality of energy flowing in your mind and body. Smooth emotions, nourish your body, mind and spirit. The process of nourishing energy is similar, in a way, to improving the signal and getting rid of ‘noise’ in a radio or electrical system.

It shows itself in a sense of deeper peace, feeling nourished and being completely ok with yourself and your surroundings.

In the course we will be exploring:

  • Quietness, stableness and stillness
  • Energy balance at the physical, mental and emotional levels
  • Strengthening and nourishing the mind, body, spirit
  • Applying energy at the levels to nourish the organs, mind, body, spirit
  • Using the skills of nourishing and refining energy to bring joy, satisfaction and peace into daily life
  • Uplifting your energy, rather than depleting
  • The technique of Cosmic Shower
  • Accessing states of expansion whilst remaining present and connected here and now

Aligning - Strength, Flexibility, Balance

'We will take the mind and energy skills you have already developed, and apply them to physical movement, bringing energy flow deep into the fabric of the body'

Energy Mastery

Does your weekly practice include strength, flexibility and balance training? If not, you could be missing a key element to your development, health and harmony.

If you want to improve your energy mastery, incorporating energy flow in strength, flexibility, and balance training is essential.

Maintaining and improving strength, flexibility, and balance as we age becomes more important - it helps reduce falls. It also means we can perform ordinary, everyday tasks more easily and provide pathways for increased energy.

4 pre-recorded classes of strength, flexibility, and balance training

Expanding for Presence, Stability & Vitality

Expand your Energy, Change Your World

A progression in energy mastery is energy expansion. Energy may expand naturally as the volume of your energy increases, or you may intentionally expand your energy/qi for a specific purpose. 

Expanding energy brings physical, emotional, mental, energetic and spiritual benefits. It also helps develop protective chi, which we will practice during the next level. This course will prepare you for protective energy practice and bring its benefits too, such as experiencing:

  • Increased Presence & Awareness
  • Emotional Stability
  • Creativity and Openness
  • Nurturing Heart for Cultivating Spirit
  • Being Energised with Ease

 

In this course, we will practice expanding energy at the level of:

Mind - Breath - Energy Flow - Presence - Heart - Spiritual - & Life.

We will use the energy skills developed so far, such as relaxation, breath work, energy flow, intention, awareness and aligning.

We will explore how expanding energy can be used to align with your aims and vision for meaningful connections and achievements.

This practice can create profound shifts in your being and enjoyment of life.

Protective Qi for a Robust Immune System

"Practising qigong greatly enhances our defence and immune systems and regulates our chemical balance." Grandmaster Wong Kiew Kit

In this four-week course, I will share the ideas, practises and approaches for boosting your Wei Qi and strengthening your natural self-healing ability.

Practices include mind-breath-energy-movement exercises at the physical, emotional, and mental levels, promoting: 

  • Healthy Mind
  • Healthy Body
  • Healthy Energy Flow
  • Healthy Organ Function
  • Healthy Nervous System

Practising Qigong helps strengthen your Wei Qi - the energetic barrier against external pathogens. If you're ill, defensive qi directly influences your recovery process.

Synergising Jing, Qi, Shen (Triple Cultivation Practice)

"Gentle physical exercises works only on the physical body, but genuine chi kung works on the physical body, energy and mind. Genuine chi kung is triple cultivation." Grandmaster Wong Kiew Kit

During the 'Protective Qi' course, we focused on developing a robust immune system against external factors. In the 'Synergising Jing, Qi, Shen' course, we will explore the nature and practices to better deal with internal disharmony - physically, emotionally, and mentally.

As we know, negative thoughts and emotions can significantly impact mental and physical health. The mind and body are interconnected, and what affects one can often influence the other.

In Qigong, we don't simply ignore the things happening in daily life. Instead, we seek ways to harmonise our mind, emotions and actions so that energy can flow smoothly.

In this four-week course, we will explore how Qigong can be practised to synergise Jing (Essence), Qi (Energy) and Shen (Mind/Spirit), drawing from the teachings of the great 12th-century Taoist master - Zhang San Feng, and simplified for practical use by Grandmaster Wong Kiew Kit.

Guiding - Energy Flow to All Aspects

"Life is a meaningful flow of energy" Grandmaster Wong Kiew Kit

We have a direct experience of this working for us when we relax physically, emotionally and mentally and enjoy energy flowing during our Qigong practice.

However, if we cannot direct energy to the various levels of self or have the ability for Qi to flow into everything we do - we cannot say we have energy mastery.

Life becomes a meaningful flow of energy when we can direct, connect or allow qi to flow in everything we do. We start to see and experience everything as Qigong - the skill of using energy.

In this 4-hour course we will use different techniques to direct energy to the organs and specific body parts for improved health and release residual tension. We will also explore how you can direct purposeful flow to all aspects of your life.

Incredible amount of energy in my hands. I was really surprised... the energy was was really strong.
Said one student at the end of the first lesson.

Enhancing - Dan Tien Qi

An essential skill for enhancing and consolidating energy is cultivating the golden pearl stored at the lower Dan Tien.

Cultivating the golden pearl of energy involves various meditation, breathing, and movement exercises designed to enhance the flow of Qi, balance the body's energy centres, and purify the mind and body.

The practice is in alignment with the inner transformative processes within the practitioner. Various practices include Dan Tien Breathing and Three Centres Merge.

Transmitting Energy: Healing

This course completes the Energy Mastery journey and is valued if you want to transform your practice into what you can offer your clients, friends and loved ones.

Cost: £99 for course

Transmitting: Healing

A short course that focuses on the practice of transmitting energy for treating energetic imbalances and help restore the body’s systems back to homeostasis.

Chi is a universal medium that connects all things. A Qigong (Chi Kung) master can use it to transmit his chi-impulses to another person a great distance away.
Grandmaster Wong Kiew Kit: Distant Chi Transmission - 1993

Course Contents:
Distant Qi Transmission
Direct Qi Transmission

Achieving Cosmic-Being-Unity for Distant Qi Transmission
Qigong practices include the cultivation of cosmic and personal energy for Qigong healing. We will be practicing the once closely guarded secret known as ‘The Art of Wisdom’ to help you achieve Cosmic-Being-Unity for distant transmission.

Direct Qi Transmission
The skill of direct qi transmission has become an invaluable tool in my therapeutic toolbox for dealing with injuries, blockages, stress, shock and depression. I will share the methods I have reliably used over 20 years.

'One hour to dive into yourself and what is beyond, a time to reflect, see and let go'
- Pascal
'I just wanted to say a big thank you for your calm, thorough and safe approach to Qi Gong. The cosmos aspect is so very beautiful and really expands my understanding of awareness/consciousness and how this relates to the wonders of life!'
- Emma Jackson

No matter what life or path we choose we will face challenges and difficulties along the way.

Of course, we do have choice in how to respond to the ups and downs of life.

However, the idea alone of having choice is not enough. We need to have the right tools and skills to deal with what life throws at us, and the resilience to bounce back.

Life challenges are symbolized by the Japanese Daruma doll of Bodhidharma, in the saying "Fall down 7 times, get up 8 times".

As human beings we are resilient by nature, often able to adapt to demands and conditions.

We also waste a lot of energy as result of our conditioning, thoughts, emotions, actions, beliefs and automatic reactions. As you develop your energy skills, it will become clear where your energy is going and how you can use it differently.

triple cultivation

If like me, you are an ‘energy explorer’ and wish to master energy, then this course is for you.

I wish to share my experience of working with energy for over 20 years with you, particularly the Shaolin Arts.

I should say that mastering energy does not stop life happening (the ups and the downs), it simply helps you ride the waves with more ease, enjoyment and energy.

Mastering energy is transformational, life changing and life affirming.

Students on last year's Unfolding Being course found it was transformational. We expect this course to take you on a similar journey of self-realisation.

During this series of courses I will guide you through practical, progressive practices to further develop your energy skills.

The courses are structured so that you can progressively build on what you learn in each module. This will give you a strong foundation as we move to the higher level skills. If you are already an experienced practitioner, you will be able to fill in any gaps or areas you may have missed on your journey so far.

At each stage, you will deepen your understanding and discover new insights.

Each one-month module works as a stand-alone course. The energy mastery comes from attaining all 14 stages. You can join all 14 or pick which ones speak to you.

These courses are for you if:

  • You are interested in developing a greater awareness of energy and how you can use it 
  • You want to direct your life rather than letting life direct you
  • You want to heal yourself or others
  • You want to up-level your existing energy skills
  • You want to explore and learn in a like-minded community of students
'Doing the classes regularly is a brilliant, simple way of boosting energy and helping one to cope with day-to-day pressures and stresses. They provide a seemingly endless source of strength and positivity in difficult times without any unrealistic idea that life will suddenly become easy or trouble-free.'
- Emily
'My sensory ability seems to have increased and my ability to manage my energy systems has improved. I am more able to feel energy off my body and within my body. Tim has given me lots of techniques to support my spine and access support for my system from within and without.'
