Exploring Energetic Terrain

With: Eva Wong
10 May 2025 – 11 May 2025

This programme is open to all who have completed Qigong levels 1 & 2. It is also required for graduates of Level 6 before continuing to Level 7.

As it is externally, so it is internally. The physical terrain of the external world parallels the energetic terrain of the body.

In working with physical terrain, Sunzi’s Art of War is unparalleled in describing geographical features and the strategies to maneuver through them. In understanding the energetic terrain of the body, Taoist internal alchemy offers powerful approaches to identifying energy centers and pathways as well as techniques that allow energy to move smoothly and peacefully.

In this program, we will use Sunzi’s system of terrain classification in conjunction with qigong to explore our internal universe. This unique program integrates the wisdom of Sunzi’s Art of War with qigong and a healthy lifestyle.

The Qigong of Xiantianwujimen Taoism

Xiantianwujimen is a Taoist lineage founded by Chen Xiyi in 10th century China. “Xiantian” means prmordial, “wuji” means limitless, and “men” means gate. The translated name of the lineage is Primordial Limitless Gate.

This lineage specializes in using qigong to simultaneously cultivate and transform body and mind. A hermit and household tradition, Xiantianwujimen has been transmitted uninterrupted for over a thousand years. Qigong techniques favored by this lineage include self-massage, tendon-changing, calisthenics, marrow washing, and breath regulation.

Instruction of Xiantianwjimen qigong is offered by Eva Wong, a 19th generation carrier of the lineage, and by instructors authorized by the lineage.
