This advanced program focuses on strengthening and regenerating the spine and incorporates Nei gung components for controlling the energies of the spine.

Bend the Bow’s trains you in advanced nei gung (neijiaquan) components that helps you control, strengthen and regenerate the chi energies of the spine and heal such severe back problems, as scoliosis.

In effect, Bend the Bow spinal Chi Gung is the second part of the Marriage of Heaven and Earth chi gung.

Phases of learning

The first phase warms up and loosens the spine and relaxes the nervous system. During the second phase, basic physical movements and reverse breathing techniques help teach you to control spinal energy.
In the third phase, you are taught how to:

• Link together the physical and energetic movements of the internal organs to the spine and all the joints
• Open and close all your spinal vertebrae simultaneously as one integrated unit
• Regulate the fluids that surround your spinal cord and brain
• Pulse the space between each spinal vertebra, one by one
• Move each vertebra independently, one by one, in any direction at will without external physical motion
• Become aware of and correct left and right imbalances in the body in general and in the spinal vertebrae in particular.
