Testimonials
Below is a collection of Testimonials from various students of Lotus Nei Gong who have trained with us and noticed profound changes to their health and well-being.
Nei Gong Recharges My Batteries!
The first time I did Nei Gong was in Brecon over a three day period. I remember after doing the Nei Gong I could feel gaps between my vertabra. I was taller and pain free!
The sparkle had returned to my eyes. The dragged down feeling ‘d had had dissipated. My posture was so much better. My chiropractor was amazed at the change!
Over all it has had an extremely positive and beneficial effect on my whole body, mind and spirit. It has increased my internal and external awareness to myself, food and my environment.
Nei Gong charges up my batteries. It is incredibly rejuvenating. It has cleared blockages on a physical, emotional and spiritual level.
Nei Gong, Qi Gong and Yoga are now a regular part along my life’s path. In my opinion, it should be integrated in to schools and the NHS.

I Am Able To Breathe More Easily!
When I first met Damo over 2 years ago I had just recovered from ME which had left me rather weak and I had suffered minor strokes, blackouts, heart attacks and had two stents put into my heart on separate occasions to alleviate problems with angina. I also had ongoing problems with depression and psoriasis together with minor conditions related to my age (63). I was unable to walk uphill comfortably and had to rest a lot. I secretly thought that perhaps my days were numbered as I seemed to get weaker every day.
I have received Qi healing and have been learning and practising Nei Gong exercises, Taiji and other disciplines at Lotus Nei Gong’s weekly classes and monthly courses, first as part of my ongoing healing and then because I enjoyed them so much.
During the Qi healing sessions I feel various sensations in my body, which are difficult to describe but are similar to sensations of tingling, buzzing, heat and cold. I have also felt sensations of pushing and pulling of my internal organs. None of these were painful but slightly unnerving as I had never felt sensations like these before. As I am becoming more aware of my energetic and physical body through training at Lotus Nei Gong classes and courses, I am starting to recognise sensations as being related to various meridians.
After healing sessions the symptoms often get worse for a while then start to disappear. It seems to me that the longer I have had these things the more reluctant they are to go.
My heart problems are steadily improving, there have been a few set-backs with the depression but this too, although slow to shift, has finally gone. I had a few problems which occurred around the time of my mother’s death but these have since been resolved. I have had no further blackouts, most of the psoriasis has gone and I am able to breathe more easily. My energy levels have improved wonderfully and I am able to function in a much more satisfactory way than I have been able to do for a very long time. I have also grown 1 centimetre!
I have been practicing Taiji and Qi Gong for many years and in several styles but have been most impressed with the Lotus Nei Gong syllabus as finally I have found a system that truly encompasses the full range of teachings of mind, body and spirit, something that I have been searching out for over 30 years!
Friends have noticed lots of subtle and some not-so-subtle changes in me and tell me that I look much healthier, happier and more fulfilled. I enjoy all the classes and courses and am fascinated with Nei Gong and related disciplines. I look forward to my continued learning and improving good health.
Thank you Damo, Lotus Nei Gong teachers and thank you Lotus Nei Gong friends.

I Certainly Do Not Feel My Age!
I have never met or heard of any other Martial Arts or Daoist teacher who conveys the amount of information as Damo. I have been studying with Damo for just one year and have progressed more than in the previous 10 years of training in Taiji.
Damo has amassed a huge amount of knowledge in the Daoist Arts and has managed to organise this into a very workable system for students. He is able to convey to others the Daoist concepts in terminology that is very understandable to the Westerner; which is not couched in symbolic confusing language.
His system of Nei Gong and working with the energy body is practical and produces instant results. Within just one year I have become aware of a whole new world within myself of energetic flow. I am truly amazed at my progress within Lotus Nei Gong.
As an added bonus my health has also greatly improved. I certainly do not feel my age.

I Enjoy Being More Sensitive To What Is Happening In By Body!
When i started studying Nei Gong I was in already in fairly good shape, only getting sick around autumn/winter times… the usual for someone of my age/fitness. The only real problem was with my posture which was in pretty poor shape. After about 6 months my spine started to open from the bottom and then slowly expanded all the way up after about another 8 months.
At first it felt a little weird as I could now move a part of my body I had never had control over. As the tension slowly leaves my body the changes I have noticed are remarkable. Firstly my immune system, i haven’t had any kind of cold/bug in 14 months. Other effects include not being able to tolerate alcohol or cigarette smoke, although these effects don’t sound brilliant they do however make you more sensitive to what can damage you as drinking and smoking can kill you etc
I enjoy being more sensitive to what is happening within my body!

I Am Well
Training for me is a unified thing and Nei Gong permeates all of it, percolating out into daily life and also seeping into the dance I enjoy. I had had ME for many years but after energy treatments from Damo and practicing the Taiji, Nei Gong and Meditation which I was introduced to, I very clearly, very quickly felt profound positive change in my energy levels in a way that was not just a part of the many years of my own frustratingly, painfully snail-slow recovery from exhaustion. The acceleration I felt was sudden.
Practice maintains and strengthens the amazing kick start I was given through the treatments. I am only at the very beginning of the Nei Gong process. I am still practicing releasing physical tension through Sung Breathing, trying to find my body’s correct alignments, trying to learn how to open and close my joints in movement and make connections. I am still just at the beginning of finding and working through my energy body and still getting spontaneous internal movement sometimes although it is no longer comically messy!
These are all just the first steps in training, however, even this early stage of learning and practice has unambiguously given me an enormous gift – a future – a life- I am well…
