What is Nei Gong?

The Chinese word “nei gong” means “internal work”. This refers to personal growth and spiritual development, because it is the work on the inner self.

Nei Gong is the origin of all Taoist energy work. It is at the root of the Taoist Water Tradition in the Chinese culture, which emphasizes healing, nurturing and cooling.

Qi Gong, T’ai Qi and Martial Arts are its “younger brothers”. They evolved and developed as a consequence of an understanding of parts of the Nei Gong, but not the whole.

Although the main purpose of the Taoist tradition is to develop the spirit, great importance is first put on physical health and mental/emotional balance. Nei Gong can therefore be practised either for physical health and well being with excellent results or – if you so chose – for personal growth and spiritual development.

Since Nei Gong works on such deep levels, not only can it cure symptoms, it can also reach the cause of the problem.

PHILOSOPHY

If you are healthy in body and mind, you are basically a content, balanced person. In the Taoist tradition, being a balanced person and leading an ordinary, balanced life is already considered an achievement in itself.

The mental and emotional strength, which you can develop through the Nei Gong practice, enables you to stay more centered, meaning balanced. Therefore you are less easily influenced by other people or clouded by your emotions and can thus make better choices in your life.

Nei Gong helps you to understand and integrate the teachings of the ancient Chinese sages, for example the art of “letting go” and of “non doing” as well as the “I Ching – The Book of Changes” and the “Tao Teh Ching”.

MY STORY

 

I am a Teacher, Healer and Mentor

In these capacities, I am happy to share my wisdom and mastery helping you to grow on all levels of your being and to bring out the best in you.

I left the corporate world to teach the ancient Taoist art of “Inner Work” – Nei Gong and have been studying the Tian Yan Nei Gong® style with its originator, the late Shen Yun Yu in Taiwan starting in 1989.

TESTIMONIALS

Among all my teachers of the internal work, she is the first one, who succeeded in truly making me work on my inner self. Christel conducts her teacher training courses in a very clear and precise manner and generously shares her great knowledge. The student’s dignity is always respected. When there were internal conflicts within the self as a result of the intensive work, Christel gave full support and guided through the experience. She emphasises strongly the Taoist tradition and philosophy in her teachings become an important part of my way of thinking and my view of the world.

C.E., Germany

As a businessman with an extremely busy, high pressure lifestyle I have benefitted from Tian Yan Nei Gong® tremendously. Regular Nei Gong exercise gives me balance and energy, both mental and physical.
Since I started practicing Tian Yan Nei Gong® 10 years ago I have been in excellent health, I never even had a cold.

R.F., Hong Kong

Although I know that I have many good things in my life, that have contributed to where I am today and are contributing to where I am heading, I know undeniably that Tian Yan Nei Gong® has given me a grace and flow in my heart and in my spirit, as I travel my personal journey.

H.G., Hong Kong

I first saw one of the beautiful Nei Gong exercises, I fell in love instantly and have been ever since. Tian Yan Nei Gong® is a perfect mixture for me of holding and moving exercises. This combination helped me to restructure myself from deep inside. I even gained three centimeters in height, isn´t that amazing ? Besides improving my posture and re-aligning my body, Tian Yan Nei Gong® also helped me to become more focused on who I am and what I want. So I am very thankful.

B.W., Germany

I was needing some clarity around certain lifestyle decisions. This was more about deep personal guidance rather than healing any physical blockages.

The session started with meditating on what needed clearing up. I Began having all these amazing ‘visions’ and was told not to judge but to accept whatever came up. Afterwards began the guidance and explanations based on Christel’s immense understanding and obvious depth of knowledge of the various mystical teachings.

The main thing with Christel is the feeling of her sweeping through all the little nooks and crannies in my mind, and leaving me feeling refreshed, renewed and ready to take on the world again with a lightness of step, a fabulous new resolve and a feeling of absolute certainty.

What a wonderfully gifted and supportive woman – I feel blessed to have experienced her and to know that whenever the dust gathers again, I can call upon her to help clear it away with a wonderful sweep of her ‘mystical’ broom!
