Loving Energy that Heals
Pre-requisite: Awaken Healing Light or equivalent
Previously the secret teaching devised by martial artists to create the “steel body”, Iron Shirt is used to strengthen and move chi into the connective tissues, ligaments, joints, tendons, and finally the bones. Dynamic standing postures incorporate breathing techniques that pack air around the vital organs and direct the earth’s healing power through the bone structure. In addition to being an excellent way to work on your structure and posture, Iron Shirt positively affects your immune system by increasing the power of your “guardian” chi. Iron Shirt Chi Kung is essential knowledge for anyone involved in any kind of cultivation practice.

Bone Marrow Nei Kung – The Tao of Bone Health
Pre-requisite: Awaken Healing Light or equivalent
This level of Iron Shirt works directly on the organs, bones and tendons in order to strengthen the entire system beyond its ordinary capacity. An extremely efficient method of vibrating the internal organs allows the practitioner to shake toxic deposits out of the inner structure of each organ by enhancing Chi circulation. Learn how to strengthen your bones by increasing bone density and structure.  Re-grow the marrow through bone breathing and internal sexual organ massage. Through the process of absorbing energy into the bones, bone marrow can be revitalized to replenish the blood and nourish the life force within. In ancient times, the “Steel Body”, attained through this practice was a coveted asset in the fields of Chinese medicine and martial arts.
