Classical Teachings…
in a modern context
Damo Mitchell’s search for the nature of true spirituality has taken him a lifetime of study across numerous continents. He has studied extensively within Daoist, Buddhist and Hindu lines and been initiated into some of the most in-depth wisdom traditions that the East has to offer.

The Five Pillars of Practice
Body Development
Transformation of the body’s organisation and function according to authentic internal Gong Fu principles. These are the foundations upon which we build our personal practice.
Energy work
Activation and development of the body’s channels, energetic reservoirs and power centres. These teachings are generally according to the Daoist and Buddhist traditions.
Mental Sphere
Blind practice is never wise. It is through shaping and instructing the intellect that we are able to provide ourselves with a guiding light along the path – Theory and practice merge.
Spiritual Growth
Alchemically, nourishment of Spirit is a twofold process of both building and shedding. When practiced hand-in-hand, these two principles initiate the awakening process.
Service
The ethics of service have long been an important aspect of the path.This manifests within the teachings of cultivation and medicine passed on within the Lotus Nei Gong school.
“A world full of suffering is the perfect place to practice kindness”
We are a technical school of teaching. As such, we stay true to the traditional way of passing on the internal arts. Whether a person is studying the path of Taiji, Nei Gong or Medicine, they can be sure that there is rigorous attention given to detail and a level of clarity contained within the teachings that has been a major reason why Lotus Nei Gong has continued to gather pace with regards to its global spread.
Despite all of this, the most important aspect to the practice is that it must be under-pinned by a sense of connection, love and kindness to all. This is the truest meaning of the arts and an ideal which we hold in the utmost import.
No matter, how far a person wishes to dive into these arts, all have a right to health, happiness and fulfilment. Lotus Nei Gong International is a community that aims to assist people in the development of their own personal well-being.
