The Internal Foundation
You’ve Been Looking For


The internal arts are very powerful. Whether you practice Chi Kung, Tai Chi, other Internal Martial Arts, or are drawn to spiritual alchemical practices like Nei Kung or Hermetics—through exploring the internal arts, you have the potential to transform yourself beyond belief.

Because the internal arts do not skip anything in their approach, they allow you to reconnect with all aspects of your being. This gives you the opportunity to fully understand, heal, and master yourself—and live a life of alignment and meaning.

However, the internal arts can also seem very complex and abstract. It’s very easy to get overwhelmed by the vastness of the material and get lost if you can’t clearly see the route.

Where do you start? How do you connect the dots to see the bigger picture? Besides this, there seems to be a missing link in a lot of what is offered out there—it’s just not internal.

Where is the actual energy work? Where is the Chi?

 The solution.

This is why we created the Chi Skills Private Mentoring Program—to address these challenges and provide a clear framework, a step-by-step pathway for your internal journey.

 Instead of overwhelming you with endless material, this program distills the practice into core internal principles, essential building blocks, and carefully handpicked exercises that we know make the difference. By mastering these key practices, you’ll lay a solid foundation for lifelong growth in any internal art and your personal development. 

Whether you practice Chi Kung, Tai Chi, Nei Kung—or are seeking an essential entry point for Hermetics training—this program is designed to support and enhance your path.

 

I was looking for something that went beyond martial arts.

I wanted a teaching I could live and embody, not another technique to learn.

I also carried a deeper question: how to align internally as a whole person, not only in body or energy, but in the way I move through life.

This program, in a nutshell:

  • Mastering correct body mechanics—creating a strong, open, and elastic physical foundation by engaging the fascia, the connective tissue that allows energy to flow freely. 
  • The awakening of the energy body—tuning the mind to the frequency of Chi, allowing true energy work to become possible.
  • Understanding correct relaxation through the art of ‘song’—mastering the ability to release energy effortlessly while maintaining structure and alignment.
  • Mastering the ability to circulate, sink, and direct energy with precision and purpose—anchoring the principle “Mind moves Chi, Chi moves the body” into your practice.
  • Strengthening and balancing the elemental energies—cultivating equanimity by harmonizing Fire, Air, Water, and Earth. 
  • Mastering Internal Alchemy—developing the ability to switch between vital energy (Jing), astral energy (Chi), and mental energy (Shen) while journeying through the three Dantian, the centers of gravity for these layers. This practice not only builds profound internal skill but also cultivates deep stillness, creating a fertile ground for spiritual clarity and growth. Through mastering these principles, you align with the natural ascension path, allowing your energy and awareness to rise toward expanded consciousness and higher states of being.

 

“I use the skills almost on a daily basis: to prepare for demanding meetings, to stay grounded, or just as a form of relaxation.

Armand has the rare gift to make these ancient practices accessible and useful in modern life."

— Annette van Berge Henegouwen (Netherlands)

  

Structure of the Program

Duration: 6 months 

 

The program runs over a period of six months and is built around twelve one-on-one mentoring sessions with Armand. Each session lasts 75 minutes and takes place in the first and third week of each month, creating a steady rhythm in your training.  
This structure is designed to support a continuous process, rather than isolated sessions.

All sessions are recorded and remain available for replay at any time. After each session, you receive a written summary with reflections and clear guidance for your practice in the period between sessions.

Alongside the mentoring, you receive access to the Core Essentials Chi Kung online course, which contains the fundamental exercises and supporting material. This forms the technical foundation that we work with during the sessions.

You also get access to the online mentoring platform, which functions as your personal training environment. Here you can schedule sessions, revisit recordings, and keep track of your written summaries.

Between sessions, you can reach out via WhatsApp for practical questions or reflections that come up during your training.

The total investment for the six-month program is €1949.

We work with a limited number of people at a time to keep the process personal and focused. At this moment, there are 2 places available. 


Start with a conversation

 

Before starting the program, we always begin with a one-on-one conversation.

In this session, we look at where you are in your training, what you are currently working on, and where things are not yet connecting.

From there, we can see whether this program is the right next step for you.

We’ll get back to you within 24 hours.

"Armand’s guidance, the depth of our conversations and the way he points me back to cultivating stillness have been profound. From that stillness, answers start to arise on their own.

This journey is changing not only how I train and live, but who I am becoming – and I’m genuinely curious and excited to see where it will lead.”

"This program elevated not only my training, but my life as a whole. I rediscovered old dreams, new direction, and a profound calling to share Qigong more widely as a source of preventive health.

I am deeply grateful to have found Armand!"

Roger Mooijman

"Each session is tailored to my learning themes, making me increasingly aware of my own processes. Through purposeful exercises, he enables me to find answers, adjustments, or acceptance within myself.

Since March 2025, I have witnessed a transformation and personal development within myself that I did not foresee."
