Apologies for low sound quality but was recorded, as you can see, whilst Damo was driving.

He discusses the various phases he has been through as a teacher, how Lotus Nei Gong has changed, the conflicts involved in a school and various other topics related to teaching. This episode probably only relevant or of interest to those who are in Lotus Nei Gong itself as it's not an instructional one at all.

Many past and contemporary masters of Taiji have said that you should lift weights at all when practicing Taiji whilst an equal amount of teachers have said the opposite. This can cause confusion and so Damo attempts to answer this question from his own perspective and experience.

He looks at the nature of believing ones own mind as well as how extreme visualisation within the internal arts may contribute to a loss of sense of reality. The main section of the podcast talks about the difference between the paths of 'sensation' and 'cultivation', two roads that are presented to a practitioner when they first start out within an art such as Qigong.

This one is looking at the quality of touch in Taijiquan pushing hands. Damo discusses the difference between 'grappling' style push hands and 'subtle Qi type' push hands practice. The mechanics behind pushing hands and the internal arts in general are looked at as well as the nature of Qi within these arts, the place of 'somatic empathy' and the problem with 'empty force' style practice.

He discusses the nature of religion, his own approach to religious practice, the idea of attachment and the necessity for recognising transience when approaching the spiritual path.

Damo explores this idea and explains why he doesn't see this as an accurate statement as the suffering is unrelated to the awakening process itself. He also looks at the nature of suffering when on the internal path, the nature of 'going inside' as well as a common form of Qi deviation which is similar to a psychotic break. This was recorded in the middle of the night in a hotel and so apologise for the picture quality.

He discusses two different reasons for semen retention - rationale from an alchemical/energetic perspective and then rationale from a meditation perspective. As a rule, he is anti the practice of long-term semen retention for the sake of it. What is important is the correct intention behind it, understanding the pros and cons of it and recognising the importance of discovering normality of sexual activity. He looks at these factors as well as the risks of such practices.

This is a talk about the overall plan for student development over the previous 18 months and then onwards into their future. The students development is based on working through external mechanics, then on into Dan Tian and Qi development followed by learning to develop the 'internal body' of arts such as Taijiquan and Xingyiquan.
The whole episode was over an hour of questions on the spiritual path and personal development. It is worth watching as Damo was asked very different questions from many of his other interviews.

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'.

In this short chat, he discusses why he wrote a post that stated 'don't receive energy-based therapies from a person who is physically or mentally unwell'. He explains why he holds this view, why he thinks therapists should strive to maintain their physical, energetic and mental health.
