Please Read First:
Welcome to the complete course in Microcosmic Orbit Nei Gong that we are offering publicly. We hope that the videos and lessons below are helpful for people looking to understand this important part of traditional internal training.
You should be aware that the Microcosmic Orbit is not necessarily a course advisable for complete beginners, and at least a little background in Qigong practice would serve as a sensible foundation before attempting this work.
Also, this training is not advisable for anybody under the age of 18, when pregnant, or if living with a psychiatric condition of any sort.
How To Approach The Training:
Initially, I would suggest watching all of the video lectures and giving the practices a try in sequence. This is to get an overview of the training and how it works. Building a ‘bigger picture of the practice within your mind is always helpful, in my opinion.
After you have been through the program once, start to work systematically through each practical lesson. Start with practical lesson one and keep working at it daily until you have successfully anchored the breath down to the base of the body. Once this milestone has been achieved, then you are more likely to manage the next lesson.
Continue in this way, identifying the key qualities you seek from within each exercise, and then regularly practice until you are ready to move on to the next. Foundations are the key. If you wish to awaken the Microcosmic Orbit and are not used to this kind of work, I estimate it will take around 1 year to 18 months of daily training.
Work systematically and steadily, don’t force anything, and remember that subtlety is generally the way with arts like this. Good luck and enjoy the process; I hope you experience the many benefits of Microcosmic Orbit for yourself.

Thanks for this truly is amazing, to see Damo translates ancient Chinese classical texts in simple easy terms to understand. As long as you follow instructions and practice. Being Asian myself it is hard to find local schools if you are not in China, Thailand, Japan or Taiwan...etc I am starting to enroll into Damo's program of Nei gong.
