Better Digestion
Returning the body/mind back to a state of balance.
Oslo, Norway
Introduction to Body-Mind-Organ Connection
Master Yang is visiting Oslo for two 3-day workshops that can be joined separately or together for a more comprehensive, 6-day training.
In these 3-day workshops 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).
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.
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.Â
Introduction to Better Digestion
Have you already tried everything for better digestion – diets, supplements and treatments? We believe the solution lies within you.
Unlocking Better Digestion from Within
4 Essential Keypoints
1. ENJOY YOUR FOOD
Even the healthiest food won’t bring us benefits if we don’t enjoy it. Make your food healthy but, most of all, enjoyable for your personal taste. Make it colorful! Don’t force yourself to eat anything you don’t like. Eat things that are healthy but also make you and your gut happy.
2. BALANCE YOUR EMOTIONS
Our digestive system is strongly connected to our emotional health and balance. To have good digestion, we need to work on our emotional health, well-being, and calmness daily. Negativity, stress, tension, overthinking, pressure, and force can all influence our digestion.
3. KEEP THINGS MOVING
Due to various reasons like sedentary lifestyles, emotional issues, past surgeries, or forceful physical activities, our digestive tracts don’t move as much as they should. We need to support them by adding natural movements in the abdomen area that are gentle, pleasant, and not forceful. These movements should support blood circulation in the area, support realaxation of the abdomen, and enhance the function and elasticity of the digestive tract.
4. FOCUS ON HOW YOU EAT
It’s not only about what you eat but also how it’s cooked and how you eat it. If you have digestive issues, avoid eating and drinking cold foods and drinks. Also, avoid raw food. Eat in a relaxed environment without rush and pressure. Eat in a way that doesn’t add extra work to your digestive tract.
Unlocking Better Digestion from Within
3 Essential Steps
STEP 1. Relax
The first step toward better digestion is to calm the nervous system. The human body functions as a whole, not as separate parts. It’s valuable to gain a better understanding of the interconnectedness of different systems in the body. Digestion is strongly linked to human emotions, and an imbalance in one will affect the other. The initial step toward better digestion is to reduce stress and pressure, bringing the body to a more relaxed state.
STEP 2. Connect
The second step is to build an internal connection between the mind, body, and organs. For human physical, emotional, and spiritual health, the most important factor is blood circulation. Qi (human energy) and blood are interconnected, and they move together. Restrictions in blood flow are restrictions in energy flow. The first step toward healing any internal system is to enhance blood circulation. In this method, this is done not in an external, forced, or physical way but by restoring the connection with one’s own body. This connection is about building good communication between the mind and the blood cells.
STEP 3. Service
The third step is learning to connect body movement with the internal organs responsible for digestion in order to service them. This skill can be compared to a self-visceral massage that, over time, releases the fascia surrounding the organs, helps the organs lose accumulated fat, and pumps blood to the organs – all of which promote better function and restore their mutual balance.

What to Expect
“It’s not about the movement. It’s about what’s behind the movement.” Master Zhen Hua Yang.
Master Yang’s approach prioritizes personal experience over theoretical learning. This means that there are no books to study or information to memorize, but rather the wisdom of one’s own body to be discovered and a self-healing potential to be activated.
Whether it’s a shorter workshop or a full 10-day course, the goal is to provide you with tools for independent practice.
Throughout the training, you learn a set of movements and forms gradually, with enough time to delve deeper into them in order to understand the principles that extend beyond the movement. You work at your own pace without force or pressure with enough time to learn but also to rest.
Upon completion, you leave equipped with a personal practice that you can continue to develop on your own. By integrating learned movements into your daily routine, you can experience lasting benefits that contribute to a fulfilling and vibrant life. With regular practice, they offer a holistic approach to nurturing physical, mental, and emotional wellness.

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.Â
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.
