Introduction
This course is designed to empower individuals navigating the challenges of cancer diagnosis, treatment, and post-recovery. We merge the ancient wisdom of Nei Gong & Qi Gong to offer a holistic approach to wellness and resilience.
Our aim is to foster a sense of fearlessness in the face of adversity to create an internal environment that naturally aids medical treatment and recovery.
Through gentle movement, breathwork, and mindfulness practices, participants will discover tools to navigate their journey with courage and self-trust.
Whether you’re currently undergoing treatment or in remission, this course is tailored to guide you towards a path of empowerment, hope and trust.
Scientific investigations consistently show that a person’s mental state significantly influences their physical health, especially for those battling cancer. Many studies have provided convincing evidence of the link between psychological well-being and cancer progression.
For example, a groundbreaking study by Dr. Barbara L. Andersen and her team at Ohio State University demonstrated improved survival rates for breast cancer patients who participated in psychological interventions compared to those who did not. This study emphasized the essential role of addressing mental health in conjunction with conventional cancer treatments.
Dr. Kelly Turner, a prominent cancer researcher and the writer of “Radical Remission: Surviving Cancer Against All Odds”, has highlighted the remarkable impact of positive thinking and emotional resilience on cancer outcomes. Her research revealed numerous instances of individuals achieving spontaneous remission by focusing on holistic approaches that prioritize mental and emotional well-being.
Additionally, studies have explored the role of stress hormones like cortisol in cancer progression. Chronic stress can weaken the immune system and escalate inflammation, both of which contribute to cancer growth. However, interventions to reduce stress, such as mindfulness and cognitive-behavioral therapy, have shown positive influences on cancer outcomes.
Undeniably, mental well-being plays a crucial role in the physical health of cancer patients. Making psychological well-being a priority and introducing interventions that promote resilience and positivity can significantly enhance their quality of life and potentially improve treatment outcomes.
About Calligraphy health
In this 10-day, specialised course led by Master Zhen Hua Yang, you will learn how to reconnect with yourself by rebuilding trust and communication between your body, mind, and your center – the internal organs and Dan Tian (the energy center). You will learn to release fear stemming from the diagnosis or the possibility of the disease recurring.
The key to this internal connection lies in your own blood, which serves as the carrier of oxygen, nutrients, and information in your body. Human energy, health, wellbeing, and longevity are all based on blood circulation. This course helps you understand this relationship and equips you with tools to develop it restoring internal balance and a feeling of a home within.
This internal connection is established on the cellular level. By using tools such as movement, breath, attention, intention, and vibration, we connect with our blood cells. Each day of the course, we build trust, safety, and self-love within the body. By enhancing blood circulation, we imbue these positive qualities into our body cells, especially in areas that need support and release, thereby activating our self-healing potential.
This process unfolds organically from the inside out, bringing health, vitality, and positivity to your body and mind. It enables your body to release stored tension, allowing you to move in a more natural way. You learn to move with freedom, joy, and connection, first within your body and then in your life.
This training gives you the independence to practice the learned sequences at home. Regular at-home training continues to build your energy, your trust in your body, and deepens the connection with yourself.
Highlights
- Use your breath, mind and movement to increase your oxygen intake and raise your internal body temperature, making it hard for cancer cells to survive
- Increase the blood circulation to clear clumping of blood cells and improve your internal capacity to circulate blood
- Retrain the mind to release fear and quieten its narrative, replacing it with a healthy, high-vibrational state of peace, trust and hope
- Learn the power of healthy eating and the concept of food as medicine in alignment with Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM)
- Calligraphy Health always works alongside your doctor’s treatment and we invite you to test your blood before and after the course to measure your health progress
Participants
- Anyone diagnosed with cancer, whether undergoing cancer treatment or prior to treatment
- Anyone recovered from cancer regardless of how long it has been since the recovery
- IMPORTANT NOTICE: This is a special course for cancer patients. People with chronic diseases or serious health conditions other than cancer, who would like to join this course, are asked to contact us individually so that we can verify if they qualify to participate in this event, at: contact@calligraphyhealth.com. Other interested people are welcome to join our regular course in Sopot.
What to Expect
“It’s not about the movement. It’s about what’s behind the movement.” Master Zhen Hua Yang.
Master Yang’s training approach prioritizes personal experience over theoretical learning. This method values the insights gained from connecting with oneself during practice and understanding the method’s principles through personal exploration.
Over the course of the training, you learn in a gradual way a set of movements and forms, with enough time to dive deeper into them and reach the principles that go beyond the movement.
You will work at your own speed, without force or pressure with enough time to learn but also to rest.
You will leave equipped with a personal practice that you can later continue on your own.

Calligraphy Health Process
The human body is a collective of trillions of individual cells, each possessing qualities analogous to a person. It’s not the movement that heals the mind and the body. Movement serves as a bridge between the mind and the body cells. Movement is used to deliver positive information and energy to each and every cell in the body, especially to those that are suffering, unhappy, traumatized, or sick. For these purposes, Calligraphy Health employs movement with breath, intention, vibration, and organ service.
1. BREATH: Ignite the Fire
The human body, in order to function and produce energy, needs oxygen. Calligraphy Health practice begins with breath and synchronizing it with movements.
2. MOVEMENT: Move Your Blood
Oxygen is distributed in the body by red blood cells, which also carry nutrients and information to all cells in our systems. We use movements that stimulate the meridians to support and enhance blood circulation in the body for overall vitality, balance, and well-being.
3. ATTENTION: Reconnect With Yourself
During the movements, we turn our attention inwards, rebuilding the connection with ourselves. We work towards reconnecting the mind with the internal river that nourishes the entire body – our blood. We learn to ‘talk to our blood cells,’ conveying feelings of love, warmth, happiness, and freedom through the bloodstream to every cell in the body.
4. ORGAN SERVICE: Support Your Body’s Engine
Once the internal connection is established, we gain access to our internal organs, akin to the engine of the body. Similar to the regular servicing required for a car engine, our organs also need proper maintenance. Organ servicing can be likened to a self-visceral massage.
5. REPETITION: Reeducate Your Cells
Having a single conversation is not enough to build a strong relationship, and the same principle applies to our connection with ourselves. By consistently repeating the learned movement sequences, we gradually develop a deeper relationship with ourselves. This ongoing process of reeducation, cell by cell, helps cleanse us of negative past experiences, transforming our body into a warm, positive, and thriving environment.
6. FREEDOM: Find Home Within
A home symbolizes feelings of safety, warmth, freedom, and happiness. When the majority of cells in our body embody these qualities, we, as human beings, feel like we have found a home within. In this state, we are no longer burdened by past experiences. Regaining solid roots, we navigate life with a sense of internal safety and warmth that naturally radiates to those around us.
“Calligraphy Health is about your blood flow moving your body, not your body
moving your blood.”
Master Zhen Hua Yang
Moving like a fish in water
The art of calligraphy draws from nature, emphasizing the fluid, seamless, and unrestrained movement of the brush. This movement mirrors the graceful descent of water down a mountainside, naturally following the shortest and most direct path.
Master Yang applied this concept to the human body, where that water is human blood. Calligraphy Health is about moving like flowing water, effortlessly cascading down a mountain – fluid, uninterrupted, and instinctual, without force or pressure. This movement can be likened to that of fish swimming in water or the elegant motions of an octopus – imbued with a sense of joy, freedom and space.
The Internal Art
of Nei Gong
Nei Gong as taught by Master Zhen Hua Yang is focussed upon reconnecting with the wisdom of the body through the regulation of three main circulations within the human body: blood circulation, nervous system and digestive system. These circulations are the pillars of longevity and good health.
Calligraphy Health through enhancing these three circulations increases the longevity of internal organs while making the body soft, supple and elastic. It produces a physical lightness, setting the environment for self-healing. It also brings deep calm and peace, grounding us and producing a happiness that is internal, void of external conditions.
Master Zhen Hua Yang
Master Yang’s true skills are shown in his ability to share the complicated Nei Gong methods and practices in a simple and comprehensible way.
Master Zhen Hua Yang is an energy expert. Backed by his family lineage of over 400 years, Master Yang’s knowledge is steeped in ancient internal systems and techniques, his teachers’ influence as well as personal experiences and realisations.
Master Yang’s healing journey started when he was just a boy, suffering from the debilitating effects of asthma. His first teachers other than his grandfather and father, who were also Masters, were the martial arts and energy Masters from the Shaolin and Wudang Temples: Hai Deng from Shaolin, famous for his one-finger stand, and a Daoist monk from Wudang who taught Master Yang about Yinyang balance, Qi/energy and human longevity.
