Testimonials

Filled with gratitude for two weeks of plunging into the Prana Dynamics dimension, I look back on an extraordinary experience.

Meeting you eccentrics trying to get out of our stubborn minds was really inspiring, humbling, and reassuring. Above all, our kindness and friendship made me realize that we are standing as one as soon as we lose our minds.

Howard’s guidance is priceless; he created the opportunity and does not hold back from sharing his wisdom. Wish I had the wits and openness to absorb it all.

And I am grateful I have been shown in real-time while it’s there for grasping it can’t be taken nor held. (That’ll keep me busy for a while)

I wish you all the ultimate Prana Dynamics experiences.

Until we meet again in good health and spirit.

Prana Dynamics refers to ‘Energy In Motion’. It is a course on using ‘internal energy’ rather than ‘physical strength’ in martial arts. During the Taipei Prana Dynamics in-person seminar, I experienced the effective use of energy without feeling the use of physical strength.

Howard’s understanding of and ability to communicate Xing Yi, Taiji, and other related classic texts were effective for my development. In my years of practicing Taiji and self-studying the Taiji classics, I read the instruction,’Raise the spirit and sink the qi’ as a physical practice. In my first lesson with Howard, I realized that this entailed coordinating ‘Heaven, Man, and Earth in Oneness’. It is about rooting, from which all the internal energy variations derive and without which, there is no Kungfu.

Overnight, I learned that I should keep the mind outside the head and not in the body, I should surrender the mind to the command of the heart and should intend from the heart. However, what I should do is not the same as the ability to do. For that, an in-person seminar is necessary.

For example, the Taipei seminar is not about understanding and knowing but about validating your ability with your practice partners. In the seminar, I received many corrections, pointers, and feedback from Howard, as well as from my classmates. They were all constructive, non-competitive, and also open to feedback I gave them, even though many of them had more years of practice than I.

I enrolled in the Prana Dynamics Master Program, which is the prerequisite for the in-person seminars, after I reached a plateau in my Taiji practice. I was initially hesitant because there was a chance that I would not improve and would be wasting my time, but that was not the case.

There is a lot more that I could say about the benefits of learning from Howard, but my best advice is for you to get started sooner rather than later.

Thank you for all you have taught me with your master’s course. You’ve helped me fill in numerous details and connect so many missing areas like no other teacher.

I’ve been fortunate enough to work with a proper training partner for a few years now, and the aha moments and validations continue to manifest, thanks to you and your training methods.

My training partner and I are from a martial background but that is now only secondary to the growth and freedom we’re experiencing through the spiritual practice of Prana Dynamics.

We are so very grateful we found you and genuinely know how difficult and improbable it is to find one who can teach the true essence of the internal arts in a way that is quite accessible.

With gratitude and love,

Ray

The Darmstadt Prana Dynamics seminar was a few weeks ago. I can with a clear conscience sign everything that others have written in their testimonials. Yet, I have not been able to put my own resume into words so far.

The reason for this was that the encounter with Howard was truly a profound experience for me, just as he himself had prophesied on the first day.

The more I digested my experiences at the seminar, the clearer it became that they had made waves on all levels of my life. My testimonial would have been different every day.

What Prana Dynamic is to me and what the seminar has brought me, I still cannot put into words properly today because I am still so touched and speechless.

However, I can say the following: The Prana Dynamics Master Program was already very enriching. His deep, extensive knowledge resulted from his experiences, and his long journey served on a silver platter. Yet, it does not compare to an in-person interaction. Even though he can talk very well about the intangible, he can tell volumes wordlessly with his touch. He opens up entirely and gives himself ultimately to you. He reveals everything his soul carries with just one touch.

Even weeks after the seminar, I still feel like I’m conversing with him, and new levels of knowledge and new perspectives on life are constantly revealed.

One carries the encounter close to the heart, and it accompanies one throughout the day. It is like a living student-teacher relationship on the heart level, guiding one deeper into one’s own true inner monologue at every moment.

When Prana Dynamics is brought to life in one through the experience of his touch, it provides a framework in which all your experiences with life fit in a way that the mind can follow.

The touch of Howard resets, if one is ready to accept it, the relationship between your body and your mind, allowing the heart to open again and especially the own light to emerge again. Fearlessly. It brings one back into contact with oneself.

Enveloped in security and love, he brings one to a door through which one can step if one chooses. However, here begins the real challenging path, one’s own true subjectivity.

In the sanctuary of Howard’s presence, enveloped in love and security, one finds the courage to step through the doorway to self-awareness, embracing the transformative power of Prana Dynamics.

Prana Dynamics guides you on the journey from the fragmented realm of the mind back to the unified world of oneness.

When you traverse the doorway within your heart, you discover the opportunity to rejuvenate your mindset within the sanctuary of your genuine love, liberated from the burdens of your past and those of others, allowing for a fresh start.

Your soul can plant a new seed and flourish once more, unencumbered by fear, as you embrace the unwavering power of your integrity.

This is where the magic in your life begins, not only on the inside but also on the outside.

With love,

Emina

Embarking on a journey into the energy realm of martial arts and spirituality under the guidance of Howard and Prana Dynamics has been nothing short of transformative. My recent experience at Prana Dynamic’s Workshop in Darmstadt, in early March 2024, was truly enlightening.

Howard possesses a rare unification of profound philosophical insight, mastery in demonstrating the essence of martial arts, and an unwavering commitment to teaching. It’s through his demonstrations that I’ve assembled the deepest understanding. Howard’s intuitive ability to gauge students’ progress and provide precise feedback ensures continuous improvement and success. His generosity in sharing knowledge knows no bounds; he holds nothing back, genuinely invested in his students’ growth and achievements. Moreover, Howard’s willingness to teach is palpable in his openness to all, encouraging questions and delivering insightful answers with wit and humor, all in eloquent English.

Instructors Frank Markert and Drew Henry complement Howard’s teachings with their own generous spirits and unique skills. Their dedication to mastering Prana Dynamics shines through, offering invaluable guidance and support throughout the workshop and beyond. Witnessing the effectiveness of Howard’s teachings reflected in his senior students was truly inspiring.

Together, Howard, Frank, and Drew have created a vibrant community where learning flourishes, and personal growth is inevitable. I am immensely grateful for the opportunity to learn from such passionate and dedicated mentors.

Prana Dynamics seminar London 2024

First and foremost, I would like to say a huge THANK YOU to both Howard and Frank for their heartful teaching/assistance, dedication and patience (I think they needed a lot towards me) they gave throughout this seminar; to Nik for organizing the event (he also helped others with finding accommodation) and for the catering – drinks, biscuits provided, and of course, to ALL participants for contributing to this gathering to be magical!

It was so nice to be with you all and see and feel how your dedicated practice, supporting each other and your joy created that special atmosphere! I better understood the theory of the Art and I felt that I improved in the practical side of it, too through the partner exercises and the guidance provided by Howard and Frank.

I must admit, I did not want to leave the training studio room on the last day and I can tell, I was not the only one! ‚Just one more day would be nice‘ – you know…

Howard said on that day that we would be Re-born on the following day… Well, I felt I was re-born on the last day of the seminar (re-born prematurely then? ), I see and feel life and myself differently since then so this event was really life-changing for me!

I can only encourage everyone to participate in these gatherings and get ‚ first-hand experience as – I think – no one can express the feeling and the results by simply using words…

You are ALL wonderful and mysterious in your own unique way, keep up with the practice and keep being love towards yourselves and others!

I am glad to be part of The Family!

Actually, on the deepest level we are one, aren’t we!?

Enough talking, let’s practice!

With love,
Kris

After practicing the big ring with Sananda the day before yesterday,
She said she was going to visit an energy martial arts master the next day
Invite me to go with her
Then she told some stories about the martial arts master
Since I have no contact with martial arts culture
So I don’t have any special feelings about what she said.

But when she said that this master usually teaches abroad,
It’s not that easy to meet him in person
Just think of it as my reward for sharing the big ring with her.
I thought to myself, “This is really the first time I meet someone as a reward.”
I agreed to her invitation without asking any questions.

At the appointed time at noon the next day, I arrived at the appointed place.
With full curiosity, I took a photo at the door and rang the doorbell.
It was the teacher who came to open the door.
After revealing that I am Sananda’s friend
The teacher invited me into the room

I briefly introduce myself
The teacher handed over freshly brewed Pu’er tea and briefly shared his martial arts school.
【Prana Dynamics】
While the teacher was talking, I observed that his complexion was rosy and his skin was smooth.
He looks like a well-educated young man
The forearms and neck are quite thick, 1.5 times that of the average person.
Foreign martial arts should be very solid
While we were chatting, the people in succession also arrived.

The teacher asked everyone about their practice after returning home.
Then he started to talk about his understanding, opinions, and practice methods of “idea”
Since 2016, I started exploring the realm of body, mind, and soul.
This isn’t the first time I’ve heard this
But I was very surprised by the precise wording and logical understanding of what he explained.
While I was still digesting what the teacher just explained,
The teacher then invited everyone to stand up

Actually, I don’t know what I’m here for.
I thought I was just here to meet the teacher and have a chat.
So when everyone stood up one after another
I still had the mentality of watching a good show and continued to sit on the chair and watch.

The teacher began to explain and demonstrate
Only then did I realize that I was here for class today.
He first invited a boy with a height of about 175cm and a weight of about 65kg.
Reach out and grab his forearm
When I saw it, I thought it might be the Tai Chi Push Hands style.
When he was talking about how the energy of thoughts is transferred to
the other person and drives the other person
My body and hands didn’t move at all.
I saw the boy suddenly bending backward and taking several steps back.
I opened my eyes wide with an expression of disbelief
I have seen a lot of Tai Chi push-hands and have personally experienced them.
But I have never seen someone who can make someone move without moving.

Then he asked a girl to touch his forearm to feel the transmission of thought energy.
At the same time, we once again explain and demonstrate the operation of thought energy.
The teacher also didn’t move at all.
The boy also took a few steps back. Seeing this, I couldn’t help but stand up from the chair
Tell the teacher that I also want to feel the transmission of thought energy
After the teacher agreed, I touched the teacher’s front arm with my hand.
I felt a force start on the teacher’s arm
At the same time, the boy took a few steps back

I thought to myself what was going on, how could it be possible to make the other party move like this?
So I asked the teacher how this was different from normal muscle pushing.
The teacher then demonstrated how to use muscle power to push the opponent.
I touched the teacher’s arm and felt his muscles swell and push forward very hard.
But this time the boy didn’t move at all
While my mind is still trying to accept the fact
The teacher began to demonstrate how to avoid being pushed by the opponent’s mental energy.

Also ask the boys to hold onto the teacher’s front arm and push the teacher hard
I watched the boy push hard but the teacher didn’t move.
I thought to myself that this boy must not have pushed hard enough.
I just asked the teacher if I could give it a try too.
After the teacher agreed, I held his front arm tightly.
She pushed forward with a flushed face using all her strength to feed.
The teacher remained motionless
I still don’t believe in evil, so I said can I push it with both hands?
The teacher smiled and nodded
I directly put my hands on him and pushed him hard without any indication.
But no matter how hard I push, I can’t push the teacher
It didn’t move at all
At this time I began to realize that the way the energy of thoughts manifested was happening
right in front of me.

Next is the sparring between classmates
I also join in
Use the energy of thoughts according to the teacher’s method
After trying it several times, I started to be able to push the other person without moving my body.
But I can only feel the vague energy of thoughts
There were even times when I didn’t feel like I had done anything
The other party retreated
You will feel in your heart whether the other person is acting
But when it was a female classmate who pushed me with mental energy,
No matter how I change my posture, I resist with all my strength
My body just can’t resist being pushed.

After practicing for about thirty minutes
Everyone sits and drinks tea, chats and shares
I asked the teacher how to use the energy of thoughts in martial arts.
The teacher mentioned that some well-known foreign martial arts figures would invite him to take classes.
Among the students there is also a British kickboxing champion
The boy sitting next door who just demonstrated said to me
Someone once tried to sneak up on the teacher from behind
As a result, that person was directly ejected

How can it be possible for the heart in my heart to rise again?
I asked the teacher if he could let me beat him up.
The teacher smiled and said yes
So I stood up and punched the teacher on the upper arm.
As a result, my fist bounced away as soon as I touched the teacher’s arm.
I thought to myself that this must be my misalignment.
I asked the teacher if I could punch him again
Smiling and nodding like a teacher
This time I took two steps back
Aim at the teacher’s upper arm, sprint forward and punch him with all your strength.
The moment when the fist touches the teacher’s body
I feel like I’ve been hit on a hard piece of flesh
Then he was blown away by a burst of energy and fell to the ground.
Just like what you see in the movies
I can’t believe this is true
Get up slowly from the ground
At this time, I was completely convinced by the energy martial arts master in front of me.
Then everyone practiced with each other again
That’s the end of this course

On the way home
I realized that the energy of our thoughts can manifest everything in this world
This operation of materializing thought energy is completely reasonable
(this is the only way to convince myself)
Just being able to experience the operation firsthand is so amazing.
I feel that my knowledge and understanding of thoughts have expanded.

It’s really cool when projectors share themselves passionately and then wait to be invited.
thanks for everything that happened

Thank you Wanyou

【奇人奇遇記-能量武學大師】

前天和Sananda練完大環後
她說隔天要去拜訪一位能量武學大師
邀請我跟她一起去
接著她說起一些關於這位武學大師的事蹟
由於我沒有接觸武術文化
所以對她說的這些沒什麼特別感覺

不過當她說到這位大師平時都在國外教課
要見到他本人可不是那麼容易
就當作我跟她分享大環的回報
我心想「把去見一個人當作回報還真的是第一次碰到」
也沒多問就答應了她的邀請

到了隔天中午約定的時間我抵達約定地點
帶著滿滿的好奇心在門口拍了張照後按了門鈴
前來開門的是老師
表明我是Sananda的友人之後
老師便邀請我進入室內

我簡單的介紹自己
老師遞來剛泡好的普洱茶也簡單分享了他的武學派別
【Prana Dynamics】
老師說話的過程中我觀察他的氣色紅潤皮膚光滑
看上去感覺是修養有方的那種年輕
前臂和脖子相當粗壯是一般人的1.5倍
外家功夫應該很札實
聊著聊著陸續人也到齊了

老師詢問大家回去之後練習的情況
接著開始說關於他對「意念」的體認、見解以及實踐方式
自從2016開始探索身心靈領域後
我並非第一次聽到這些
但對於他說明的內容用字精確程度以及邏輯理解非常驚訝
正當我還在消化老師剛剛說明的內容時
老師便邀請大家站起來

其實我並不知道是要來幹嘛的
以為只是來見見老師聊聊天
所以當大家紛紛站起來
我還是抱著看好戲的心態繼續坐在椅子上觀摩

老師開始邊說明邊示範
這時我才意會到今天是來上課的
他先請一位身高約175cm體重約65kg的男生
伸手緊抓住他的前手臂
我看到心想可能是太極推手那套吧
他說著意念能量如何傳遞到對方身上帶動對方時
身體和手一點也沒移動
只見那位男生突然身體向後彎了下去後退好幾步
我睜大眼露出不敢相信的表情
太極推手我現場看過很多也親身體驗操作過
但從沒見識過這種動都不動就讓能對方移動的

接著他請一位女生摸他的前手臂感受意念能量的傳遞
同時再次說明示範意念能量的運作
老師一樣一動也沒動
那位男生一樣又往後退了好幾步
看到這時我已忍不住從椅子上站起來
向老師表示我也想感受意念能量的傳遞
老師同意後我用手摸著老師的前手臂
感覺到老師手臂上有一股力量啟動
同時那位男生又向後退了幾步

我心想這是怎麼回事怎麼可能這樣就能讓對方移動
於是問老師這和一般肌肉用力推有何不同
老師便示範用肌肉的力量推對方
我摸著老師的手臂感覺到他肌肉膨脹非常用力向前推
但這次男生一動也沒動
當我的頭腦還在試著接受這個事實時
老師開始示範如何不被對方推動的意念能量

一樣請男生緊抓老師的前手臂並用力推老師
看著男生使勁的推但老師就是一動也不動
我心想一定是這個男生沒有用力推
就問老師我能不能也推推看
老師同意後換我緊抓著他的前手臂
使出吃奶的力氣脹紅著臉向前推
老師一樣一動也不動
我還是不信邪就說可以用雙手推嗎
老師笑著點點頭
我便直接搭上雙手也沒示意就用力的推他
但不論我怎麼用力推就是推不動老師
一點點都沒動那種
這時我開始意識到意念能量具現化的方式就在我面前發生了

接下來是同學之間的對練
我也加入其中
照著老師的方式運作意念能量
試了好幾次之後我也開始能夠不動身體就推動對方
但只能感受到模糊的意念能量
甚至有好幾次我都不覺得我有做了什麼
對方就後退了
心裡會覺得對方是不是在演戲
但當換成女生同學用意念能量推我時
不論我怎麼改變姿勢用力抵抗
身體就是無法抗拒不爭氣的被推動了

練習約三十分鐘之後
大家坐著喝茶聊天分享
我問老師意念能量如何運用在武學之上呢
老師說起一些國外知名武術界人士會邀請他去上課
學生當中也有英國自由搏擊格鬥的冠軍
隔壁坐著剛剛示範的那位男生跟我說
曾經有人試著從老師背後偷襲他
結果那個人直接被彈飛的事

我心中的怎麼可能再度升起
就問老師能不能讓我揍他看看
老師笑笑說可以
於是我站起來向老師的上手臂揮拳揍過去
結果一碰到老師的手臂後我拳頭直接被彈開
我心想這一定是我沒對準
就問老師能不能再揍一拳
老師一樣笑笑點頭
這次我向後退了兩步
對準老師的上手臂向前衝刺使出全力揮拳揍過去
拳頭接觸老師身體的瞬間
我感覺像是打在一塊堅硬的肉上
然後被一股能量震飛倒在地上
就像電影裡看到的那樣
我簡直不敢相信這是真的
慢慢從地上爬起
這時我完全信服了眼前這位能量武學大師
接著大家又互相練習了一下
就結束了這次課程

回家的路上
我意識到我們的意念能量本來就能夠顯化這世界的一切
這樣把意念能量具現化的運作完全合理(只能這樣說服自己了)
只是能親身體驗運作的感覺實在是太太太神奇了
覺得自己對於意念的認識與理解又擴張了

投射者熱情分享自己然後等待被邀請真的很讚
感謝發生的一切
感謝萬有

Wonderful training experience and sense of community at Prana Dynamic’s Workshop in New York, in late September 2023.

I attended my first Prana Dynamics workshop in late September 2023, following the completion of the six-month Prana Dynamics Master Class earlier that year. Having enjoyed and greatly benefitted from the Prana Dynamics Master’s Class, I was very much looking forward to meeting Howard Wang and his senior student, Drew Henry, to personally work on the drills and concepts taught in the Master Program. My experience at the workshop was very positive. My training partner and I both had many opportunities to work with Howard and his more advanced students personally. I believe I was able to better understand the concepts and drills taught in the Master Class and improve my internal martial arts skills.

Howard is an open and generous teacher. Throughout the workshop, he took the time to work with all the participants one-on-one. He was patient and caring expressing a desire for everyone to acquire the material and improve. The workshop followed Howard’s systematic approach to teaching internal martial arts skills and self-development as shown in the Master Class. I am really appreciative of Howard’s method which intertwines the teaching of internal arts and life principles with physical drills that allow the practitioner to work on embodying or manifesting these principles and ways of being. Without a doubt, Howard can express these principles powerfully through his martial arts abilities and kind and open personality.

Drew Henry was also a generous and fun teacher and host. He has impressively managed to acquire an advanced level of internal skills in Prana Dynamics within a very short period of time. Drew made himself available to clarify questions and work on drills throughout the workshop and after hours. It was great to see the effectiveness of Howard’s teachings as expressed by Drew.

The workshop also had a great sense of community and everyone there seemed to focus on learning the Prana Dynamic’s system and helping each other to improve. It was my impression that Howard really valued this sense of community and made efforts to develop and maintain that experience. If Howard’s teachings grab your attention, I highly recommend attending the Master Class and going to Howard’s workshops in person. Your efforts will surely yield results as you follow the guidance of Howard and his instructors. You will also have access to a welcoming and positive community striving toward the same goals.
