Yan Shou Gong 延壽功 is anAuthentic Nei Gongpractice traditionally taught to only the most senior monks in the Southern Shaolin Temple. Each of the Yan Shou Gong sets condenses the best practices of the Nei Gong arts, making them:
- Easy to learn
- Quick to practice
- Produce real internal skills.
Many types of Nei/Qi Gong practices typically take years before a student feels any benefits from the training; Or even worse, the methods don’t produce any results. However, this is not the case with Yan Shou Gong, as the student will notice the benefits instantly, and in most instances, it can begin to deliver results within weeks.
Yan Shou Gong also emphasizes the development of kinetic energy and the mind; in Chinese martial arts, these terms are referred to asJin 勁 andYi 意.It also teaches the practitioner how to perform techniques such as Grounding, Rooting, and Centering, creating awareness and mindfulness ofbeing in the body. This can improve a practitioner’s martial abilities, but it can also help relieve stress, anxiety, and depression.
