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.

once a person gets past the fact that Damo Mitchell over explains things and just go with the flow, you can learn a helluva lot. i did anyway.
Kathleen Ruggiero
Damo Mitchel is an outstanding instructor of what is needed before entering into Qigong and Nei Gong and how to move through life at a highly functioning level of knowing the higher holy self during this lifetime and beyond. Thank you for this offering.

Free which is super in order to explore path to determine if its a good fit for me as a student =Yeup!. Not because of the cost but of the professionalism. Damo demonstrates caring depth. Grateful to Adam S (Power of Chi), Damo M.and Keiran K. The Martial Man (and friends). Challenge is to have one course that keeps a practicioner on one track method for one goal with one safety net. Thx !

I am immeasurably grateful for making this course freely available. To have access to knowledge that for thousands of years was preserved and passed on to a very limited number of people is truly extraordinary. I am impressed and inspired by the depth of this practice and I know I will be returning to this material many times, to absorb it more fully and integrate it to my practice. Thank you!

I very much appreciate the detailed explanations and metaphors regarding the internal arts and how the body functions. I also like the manner in which steps and checkpoints are presented.

very informative

I'm only onto 5th lesson snd fully satisfied that yhis course is worth pursuing. Differentiation of yin and yang applied to attention (directed awareness) and what I prefer to call "intent" is presented as an immediately applicable resource. Well done and thank you Mr. Mitchell.

Very good foundation to introduce nei gong into my qi gong practice. Although the complexities of the eastern systems were addressed, the way of explaining to a westerner were on point and actionable, building qi from a solid cause, without hype. Thanks!
john truong
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.

My expectations were to be able to understand the basics of Nei Gong, however the course is beyond my expectations and I could learn more than the basics. Teacher is really excellent and his way to explain is simple and easy. Many thanks for this free but precious course.

This course sets into context important principles and can aid beginners in finding good teachers or learning material, as well as guide one towards establishing Qi flow through the Du and Ren channel once the prerequisites (i.e., for example, sufficient Qi in the Dantien) are met. Contains a beautiful breathing meditation that can be appreciated by anyone, regardless of their level of Qi work.

I have practiced martial arts for 50 years. I found the course material and delivery excellent and it was very clear Damo has a deep understanding of the subject. Excellent.

Damo fills in all the missing pieces so many others leave out, wether they're aware of it or not can't be known. Having studied most of his books (some more in depth than others), it's been welcomed reenforcement of the material; as the material largely supports/echoes his book White Moon on the Mountain Peak.

The course is extremely well done and easy to follow if you pay close attention and repeat as needed. I couldn't ask for a better course on the Microcosmic Orbit for FREE (I would have paid for this level of Masterly training).
