DMP #37 - Xingyiquan & The Harmonies
Damo Mitchell talking on one of the most requested podcasts which is an episode on the subject of Xingyiquan. It's quite a niche subject, so maybe not of interest to many, but this talk looks at the core principles of Dan Tian development and the Liu He or 'Six Harmonies' in Xingyiquan and the San Ti standing posture. The episode concludes with a discussion of the true meaning of the style's name: 'Form Intention Boxing'

Chatting about the process of changing the body in Qigong.

DMP #34 - Shkar Sharif - Tiger Crane Cultivation
Shkar Sharif is a martial artist from London. He teaches Tiger Crane style Gong Fu and Shuang Yang Taiji to his students from his full-time school in Islington. He sits down with Damo to discuss his training background, the San Zhan form/system, Sufism, Shuang Yang, the Dan Tian and Hermetics.

DMP #33 - No Spiritual Teachers
A short talk on the nature of teaching the mechanics of the inner arts (such as Qigong, Yoga and Meditation) versus claiming to be a spiritual teacher. The term 'spiritual teacher' is a term Damo does not apply to himself at all and increasingly is a term that he deems less relevant in the wider picture of spiritual cultivation.
Customer Reviews
A profound view into the world of internal arts
To get the same degree of classical unadulterated information from an authentic practitioner and initiate of these arts, you'd have to spend a decade in Asia developing trust and relationships with teachers, and putting in the effort of dedicated daily practice to be eligible to receive these teachings. People underestimate the degree of esotericism of these arts in this modern era of new age consumerism. Precious knowledge! Lotus Neigong is the only school in the western world I'm aware of in which the Daoist arts seem to have arrived in any meaningful way without being watered down! Damo’s podcast is an extension of this authenticity and it’s awesome to see its new changes to the setup Bali.
