ND Dass (ND, for short) (“servant of the path to Light”) is the author of these pages about spiritual qigong and a forthcoming (scheduled for late spring of 2027), related website to be found at jyotishstarmap.com which details the Jyotish Star Map used here as a lodestar for the practice of Neidan Yoga. With over 35 years of spiritual study and practice, he’s invested much time into each of the three great eastern occult traditions—Hindu yoga, Tibetan Buddhism and Daoism.

Professionally licensed as an Acupuncture Physician, ND likewise has, over the years, covered the waterfront of energy medicine and personal transformation—medical qigong, craniosacral therapy, body-centered counselling, meditation, yoga, shamanic journey work, biofeedback, neurofeedback, Vedic astrology and Chinese internal martial arts. Thanks to his guru’s grace and guidance, many true jewels from these traditional and modern vehicles of growth have been knit together into a workable, esoteric approach to personal and spiritual transformation.

The solution to the whole riddle of the yogic enterprise jumps out from behind the rocks, once you understand that each major tradition holds a key to one essential theme detailed in the great otherworldly catalog that lists all spiritual methods and approaches. Hindu yoga holds the midline; Tibetan Buddhism holds far space; Daoism holds near space. Toss them all together in a tasteful way and you end up with a super salad of insight and cosmic success—the winning hand in a world full of dead ends.

ND learned the foundations of Daoist practice (ritual, scripture, basic tenets and cultivations) formally under the auspices of several well-qualified teachers from the Longmen tradition. At present, he continues to refine and hone Daoist internal alchemy into a form amenable with the overall mystic goal of activating deep midline and open space consciousness. The destination? As for all traditional mountain hermits, both past and present: Short on words but long on Light.

Neidan Yoga thus represents a presentation of pivotal inner aspects from the three great eastern yogic dynasties. It’s a workable and realistic path for spiritual growth—from start to finish. You can find details of the crucial techniques and vital stages, here: Techniques and Stages of Neidan Yoga.

Along with the authority of ND’s spiritual master, other prime figures from Tibetan Buddhism, Hindu yoga and Daoist yoga have played an important role in shaping the development of this integrative yoga. Their spirit and generosity shines through palpably. You can find the details of who’s who and what’s what, here: Roots of Neidan Yoga.

Our world tosses and turns ever more fretfully with each passing year as humans drown in their material pursuits. Now IS the time: we ALL need to pull together and support each other with decency and wholesome respect. Whatever happens, wherever it happens: remember to keep cool and come back home to your heart—the central hub and groove that Light offers us all.

A great devotee of nature and simply being in tune with the moment, Neidan Dass usually works to help others. And when not, most likely you will find him practicing yoga in some corner somewhere. What a life!
