Certification Details

Details:

Shen Zhanshi (Spirit Warrior) Neigong: This course is a dissemination of Master Laba Raymond Towers’ own experience, practise and somatic knowledge of the many aspects of Chinese Martial Arts, Traditional Chinese Medicine and the latest science backed research, into three weekends presenting the practical applications of these arts in order to support the health and well-being of all communities around the world. They are presented in a seminar style with practical workshops included in each weekend. The three weekends are broken down into The Three Energies of Wei Chi ~ Preventative Energy / Ying Qi ~ Nourishing Energy / Yuang Qi ~ Naturally Just So Energy. They are open to everyone, regardless of age, fitness level, or flexibility. The movements are fluid, require no prior experience, and can be adapted to individual needs. By the end of the course, you will understand how to connect with your embodied self – both physically and emotionally – ultimately leading to a healthier and more balanced life.

By participating you will be learning a practical, experience-based method that empowers you to practice independently at home and in your community.

Integrating Body, Mind, and Energy:

Experience a holistic practice that goes deeper than movement and breath, allowing you to connect with your internal organs, blood, and energy circulation. This method works as a natural self-visceral massage that supports your body’s internal systems. By harmonising these elements, you cultivate a deeply rooted sense of well-being and inner balance.

Learning directly from Master Laba Raymond Towers:

Experience hands-on learning directly from Master Laba Raymond Towers, an authentic practitioner with over 50 years of experience in internal arts and 40 years of teaching others. This direct hands-on approach ensures that participants gain practical skills rooted in traditional wisdom, moving beyond theoretical knowledge.

Gaining independence for at-home practice: Raymond’s teaching emphasises personal experience over theory, guiding you to uncover your body’s innate wisdom and activate its potential. Whether you participate in a brief workshop or an extensive course, you’ll acquire practical tools for independent home practice. By immersing yourself in experiential learning, you develop autonomy and confidence, contrasting with methods requiring ongoing guidance.

The Eight Energies of Taijiquan

The Eight Gates of Baguazhang

The Five Elements of Xingyquan

Combining these three main internal styles of Chinese Health and Martial Arts, together with the somatic knowledge and experience that Raymond has gained over his years of training, teaching, and self discovery, he is now offering in person training. These courses will provide an opportunity for students to discover for themselves; the innate wisdom they have, to find transformative inner and external strength and awareness. This will empower them to be responsible in the process of improving their own health and well-being and sharing that knowledge and experience with others by becoming advocates of health and well-being within their own communities.

The Primary Components of Shen Zhanshi Neigong Practice are:

1. Breathing practices – To increase circulation and energy, and enhance the body’s natural healing and restorative process.

2. Movement – Exercises that move, relax and lengthen the body and increase alignment, coordination and balance.

3. Self-applied massage – Which stimulates the energy and circulation flow throughout the whole body.

4. Stillness – Restores the body, quietens the mind, and calms the emotions.

5. Love – All our practice is experienced through the realm of the Heart.
