Intense Neigong Training Schedule

Alot of people are asking me: "So how did it go?"

Here'a quick snapshot at the end of one of our workouts.

It's about 1:00 am.

Usually, Neigong training isn't as intensive as this.

But for our stay here and at the master's request we have to follow this traditional training schedule.

5 am to 7 am.

11 am to 1 pm.

5 pm to 7 pm.

11 pm to 1 am.

And so on, every day for 10 straight days.

That doesn't leave too much time to write blogs, e-mails, visit temples, talk to family and sleep!

But still I managed to do all of the above, barely.

If I could get 4 hours of sleep a night I was lucky.

This schedule follows the pattern of the sun and the moon and is focused on absorbing energy from both sources (Yin and Yang)

Disciples of the art are encouraged to seclude themselves once a year in this fashion for 2 to 4 weeks.

This is not a pre-requisite to getting results and understandably not for everyone.

Still it was a thrill and a challenge to go through it all.

Even while back here in Canada I still wake up at these times ready to train.

I'll be posting some more interesting training philosophies in the next few days.

Stay tuned,

Sibok M
