Greetings! I have grown an interest in Shengong (spirit skill) cultivation. Does anyone know where I can find authentic teachers for real shengong training (preferably online) and any good book recommendations on real shengong. thank you 🙏

Hi all, I've been searching quite thoroughly but haven't found any video footage or firsthand accounts of Damo Mitchell demonstrating any tangible signs of Qi emission — specifically anything that would indicate genuine Lower Dantian development such as Faqi (energetic projection). By contrast, someone like Rudi from Authentic Neigong has shared videos that, whether you believe in them or not, at least display observable Qi phenomena — enough to suggest a real foundation of internal power. With Damo, it often feels like the emphasis is heavily skewed toward intellectual exposition and repackaging classical texts rather than personal energetic display or transmission. I’m genuinely curious, not trying to start a flame war. I come from a background in CST Wing Chun (Chu Shong Tin lineage), where internal force and structural power are not just talked about — they’re felt. You can't really claim you can do something, you need to be able to demonstrate where I come from. I've personally taught students who have also trained with Dong Yang here in Sydney — someone I would consider a real Daoist master with authentic elixir development and incredibly high field-level skills. His system involves actual energetic refinement that produces unmistakable results over time. So, with that context: Has anyone here personally experienced Damo’s skill? Is there any video or in-person testimony that shows he has real internal power, beyond theoretical frameworks? Or is it more a case of encyclopedic knowledge with no Faqi or field resonance behind it? Again, not trying to stir anything — I’m just trying to sort the signal from the noise in this space. There are a lot of articulate voices in internal arts, but fewer who can actually do the thing. Would love to hear from anyone who has trained with him or seen him work in person. Thanks in advance.
