Reconnect with yourself
At the heart of Calligraphy Health practise is the desire and passion to help people who want to live a healthier and happier life.
The secret of Master Yang’s transformational method, is based upon the practitioner’s own personal experience. It works towards reconnecting us with our body’s own self-healing potential and allowing the process to unfold naturally from the inside out.
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, mental/nervous circulation and digestive circulation. 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.
Making complicated things simple
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.
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.
“Calligraphy Health is about your blood flow moving your body, not your body
moving your blood.”

Ancient wisdom for modern times
As a holistic system, Calligraphy Health has been built on the principles of Daoism, Buddhism and Confucianism, embodying their values.
Daoism
Daoism looks out to nature, uniting heaven, human and earth as one while inspiring us to live in harmony with the rhythms of the universe. This way of living leads to inner peace.
Buddhism
Buddhism explores the nature of the universe through the actions and belief that comes from compassion to self and others. To find a truly happy, joyful life through doing good things.
Confucianism
Confucianism is based on the virtues of respect and trust. As students we learn to respect our teacher and the lineage, respect nature and everything around us.
Tian Ren He Yi
天人合一
The concept of Tian Ren He Yi (the unity of heaven and human) originated in traditional philosophies of Daoism and Confucianism, is deeply embedded in Calligraphy Health practice. It embodies the idea that humans should strive to live in harmony with both the natural world and with one another, in order to achieve a state of balance and well-being. Calligraphy Health practice achieves this by creating a harmony on a micro level, with one’s own body, that will naturally, without force, make one more aligned with nature and with others – with Heaven above and Earth below.
