Ba Gua Nei Gong Volume 1: Yin Yang Patting And Dao Yin Exercises by Tom Bisio (Author)

Embedded within the martial art Ba Gua Zhang is a complete system of internal exercises that promote self-healing and longevity and transform consciousness. Ba Gua Nei Gong consists of nine powerful and profound methods of internal exercise and self-cultivation. This book is the first in a series of manuals on Ba Gua Nei Gong. It can be used in conjunction with actual instruction in Ba Gua Zhang, or employed as a stand-alone instruction manual. Yin Yang Patting Nei Gong is often the starting point for learning Ba Gua Zhang and for the practice of Nei Gong and other Yang Sheng (Nourishing Life) Exercises. The primary function of the Patting Nei Gong is to begin to open the meridians by patting and slapping along their trajectories. Unblocking, opening and coursing the meridians in this manner is an important precursor to advanced energetic practices. Dao Yin Nei Gong is often performed in conjunction with the Patting Nei Gong because the two practices have different, yet complimentary actions. While the Patting Nei Gong focuses on dispersing energy blockages and their accompanying muscular tension, Dao Yin Nei Gong emphasizes regulating the internal energetics of the body. The mechanism that promotes and harmonizes the functioning of the internal organs and their organic interconnections is known as the Qi Dynamic. The Dao Yin exercises work directly to regulate the Qi Dynamic, thereby stimulating one’s natural healing powers and preventing disease from taking root. This in turn promotes health and proper functioning of the body. These two Nei Gong methods are relatively simple to perform, yet profound in their effect. Patting and Dao Yin work together in a harmonious yin yang balance. In order to properly train the Qi Dynamic, the pathways of the qi (the meridians) must be relatively open and unrestricted. As these energetic pathways are opened, the qi must be regulated so that its movements and actions are smooth and harmonious. These fundamental methods of simultaneously “opening up” and “regulating” are a key, but often overlooked step in internal development. They open the door to more advanced Nei Gong practices, and at the same time, form part of the foundational practice of internal martial arts like Ba Gua Zhang.

Ba Gua Nei Gong Vol. 2: Qi Cultivation Exercises & Standing Meditation by Tom Bisio (Author)

At its heart, Daoist meditation is a simple and practical method of establishing unity between our internal environment and the external world so that we can engage with life in a clear and present way. Decoding the Dao: Nine Lessons in Daoist Meditation, by Tom Bisio, is a complete and comprehensive guide to Daoist meditation. In Decoding the Dao: Nine Lessons in Daoist Meditation, author Tom Bisio introduces the reader to the poetry and pragmatism of Daoist meditation and the practice of Internal Alchemy. The first half this unique book consists of nine progressive lessons that guide the reader step by step through the practice of Daoist meditation, ending with an introduction to Daoist Internal Alchemy. The nine lessons teach the reader how to observe and transform their own internal landscape, in order to rejuvenate and replenish the body’s innate energies, thereby promoting health and nourishing life and spirit. The lessons can be practiced in sequence or individually, providing the reader with a veritable toolbox of meditative practices that can be used flexibly to address different situations and circumstances. Each lesson contains both practice exercises and discussions of relevant topics to flesh out the reasoning behind the various methods of meditation and help the reader more deeply understand the principles and theories that underlie the practice. Beyond the nine lessons, additional chapters introduce advanced practices like the Greater Heavenly Orbit Meditation and other traditional Daoist methods of promoting health and longevity. This is followed by a unique discussion of Daoist symbolism and imagery and its relationship to meditation and internal alchemy. Daoist symbols and images act as a kind of code that, when decoded and understood, aid the meditator, giving him or her an alternative and imagery-rich language which bypasses habitual mental constructs and perceptual habits, facilitating the perception of subtle movements and changes within the body. This book “cracks the code,” enabling the reader to fully engage with this ancient and powerful tradition of transformation and transcendence. Chapters Include:

Ba Gua Nei Gong Vol. 3: Twelve Posture Standing by Tom Bisio (Author)

This book presents Ba Gua’s unique 12 standing posture practice. Ba Gua Twelve Posture Standing Nei Gong imparts “Sinew Strength.” It is therefore an excellent exercise for strengthening the body and stabilizing the joints.

Unlike basic standing, in which the body is evenly balanced on two legs, Twelve Posture Standing presents a challenging mix of back-weighted, front-weighted and even single leg postures that develop balance and refined strength and power. Each stance engages with the energy and breath in a unique and different way. Regular practice of the 12 postures, not only strengthens, but also opens up, the whole body.

These twelve postures, or “stances,” are in some sense frozen moments of movement from one position to another. Holding such moments of transition – in which the center of gravity has just moved and is about to move again – allows one to sense the internal energetic configuration of a part of a movement. In this way, one can fully engage with the spiral power configurations – wrapping, twisting, drilling, and coiling – that those stances impart.

An additional section of the book details Ba Gua Three Posture Standing, a precursor to the Single Palm Change – Ba Gua Zhang’s signature maneuver. Ba Gua Zhang is known for its circular walking, fast footwork and rapidly changing postures and palms. Twelve Posture Standing and Three Posture Standing provide balanced counterpoints to Ba Gua’s moving postures and the eight basic palm changes.

Ba Gua Nei Gong Vol. 4: Foundational Body Training by Tom Bisio (Author)

Foundational Body Training (Ba Gua Ji Ben Gong)
This book covers The 28 Foundational Exercises (Ji Ben Gong) and Ba Gua%u2019s Foundational Walking Nei Gong. For those interested primarily in Nei Gong, both sets of exercises are an important step in continuing the opening of the main meridians and the Extraordinary Vessels, and in freeing the body of physical, mental and psychic blockages and restrictions. The 28 Foundational Exercises improve joint mobility, strengthen tendons and bones, and balance the musculature of the body, all while actively engaging the body%u2019s natural, spiral-like movements.

For those interested in Ba Gua as a martial art, Ji Ben Gong are the key developmental exercises that form the foundation of one%u2019s skill in Ba Gua Zhang. Every movement in The 28 Foundational Exercises trains basic body actions and internal principles used in all facets of Ba Gua training. Each exercise has a specific purpose that operates simultaneously on a physical, energetic and martial level. Daily practice of Ji Ben Gong helps one to internalize many of the core movements that are the basic building blocks of Ba Gua%u2019s circular changes. Internalizing these movements is critical to developing higher level skills. For this reason, The 28 Foundational Exercises are often used as a daily exercise routine or as a warm-up before practicing other Ba Gua skills.

The Foundational Walking Exercises – the Linear Mud Step and the Crane Step – are the beginning stage in developing Ba Gua%u2019s unique circular %u201CMud Wading Step%u201D (Tang Ni Bu). These foundational walking practices are the important basis of more advanced footwork patterns, and are also powerful stand-alone Nei Gong exercises. Externally, the Linear Mud Step and the Crane Step strengthen and align muscles and joints of the legs while energetically connecting the power of the legs to the waist and torso. Internally, these stepping methods act as Nei Gong practices which open and activate the Central Channel and the meridians.

Ba Gua Nei Gong Volume 5: Tian Gan Heavenly Stem Nei Gong by Tom Bisio (Author)

Tian Gan literally means “Heavenly Stem.” The name Tian Gan refers to the longitudinal energetic axis or stem (the “Central Channel”) that passes through the body. In practicing Tian Gan Nei Gong, the spiraling and turning actions of the body and Central Channel, combined with the movements of the arms and legs, stimulate and open the meridians, while simultaneously “wringing out” the spine and its surrounding structures. This helps maintain the health of the spine, the brain and the nervous system. Tian Gan Nei Gong can be an important adjunctive practice method for various types of Daoist meditation, and a useful pre-requisite to Micro-Cosmic Orbit meditation.

Ba Gua Spinal Meditation is a unique training method that enables one to sense the subtle internal movements of the spine. A detailed discussion of Spinal Meditation is included in this book because this exercise forms a natural compliment to the Tian Gan exercises.

Ba Gua Nei Gong Vol. 6: Marrow Washing Nei Gong by Tom Bisio (Author)

Embedded within the martial art Ba Gua Zhang is a complete system of internal exercises that promote self-healing and longevity and transform consciousness. Ba Gua Nei Gong consists of nine powerful and profound methods of internal exercise and self-cultivation. This book is the sixth in a series of manuals on Ba Gua Nei Gong. It can be used in conjunction with instruction in Ba Gua Zhang, or employed as a stand-alone instruction manual. This volume covers both Bone Breathing (Xi Hu Gu) and Marrow Washing Nei Gong (Xi Sui Jing), two exercises that work at the deepest levels of the body. Bone Breathing is a excellent relaxation exercise and also serves as a preliminary exercise that can help you to correctly practice Marrow Washing Nei Gong. Bone Breathing teaches you to “breathe” into the bones and the marrow, so that Qi and blood can circulate and enter these structures. This aids the conversion of Qi into kidney Jing and blood. Ba Gua Marrow Washing Nei Gong continues the process begun in Bone Breathing by leading Qi and breath to the interstices of the joints and the bone marrow, to the spaces between the bones and the flesh, to the spaces between the flesh and the skin, and even into the hair follicles and pores. This practice strengthens the bones and stimulates the bone marrow, thereby increasing the production of blood, while nourishing the tissues and improving circulation to every part of the body. In traditional Chinese medicine, marrow is produced in the bones, but it also fills and nourishes the brain and spinal cord. Practice of Marrow Washing Nei Gong is therefore said to aid the nervous system, strengthen the brain and improve one’s mental capacity. This rejuvenates and improves the overall functioning of the body. The refined strength and sensitivity developed by Marrow Washing Nei Gong aids the martial arts practitioner on many levels – particularly in development of higher level skills such as power sensing, the simultaneous storage and release of power, and pushing or rolling hands practice.
