“Chi Nei Tsang is one of the most profound therapeutic massage forms found in classical Chinese and Thai Medicine. Chi Nei Tsang practitioners assist those they work with in maintaining their health through tissue and organ massage and wind release techniques. It is essentially a facilitated form of self-care since the highest form of its practice is teaching people to maintain their health and optimize their energy. The final goal is to allow people to set themselves free physically, mentally, emotionally and spiritually”. read full article

Most people have heard of ‘Chi Kung’, which is loosely translated as ‘energy management’. And most people have heard of the Chinese term for life force - ‘Chi’. This article will explain a little bit about our life force, and how, using the tools of the Universal Healing Tao, we can learn to manage and enhance it for our own health and well-being. read full article

‘Fusion’ seems to be the in-word at the moment. Recently I noticed ‘Fusion Food’ on a menu and most people are familiar with a certain brand of shaver. However, the ‘Fusion of the Five Elements’ of Master Mantak Chia’s Universal Healing Tao system is of an altogether different nature. Fusion is considered level 3 out of a total of 9 levels of ‘Inner Alchemy’ that make up the Universal Healing Tao practices. read full article

Sometimes you just know you're going to like someone -- I think of a woman I met at a cocktail party once who told me she saw the sleeve of her boyfriend's sport coat as he came through the door at a friend's house and knew he was the one. It was like that for me with Gilles Marin, founder and director of the Chi Nei Tsang Institute in Berkeley....read full article

How many of us were trained or even allowed to really feel ? E-motions (energy in motion) bring us information if we are willing to experience them. Unfortunately, many of us are on auto-pilot to resist emotions rather than allow ourselves to ‘feel’, which results in emotional charges being stored by the body as a self-protective mechanism. Left unresolved, they may eventually experienced be as emotional, mental or physical symptoms (ie.pain)... read full article

Just as much as our brain, our entire abdomen, in its rich complexity not yet completely explored by modern science, profoundly establishes our affective life. Our enteric brain in our abdomen shapes our emotions and, in return is affected by these emotions. With its battery of neurotransmitters, and other psychoactive endogenous substances, the health of the abdomen has the power to give birth to discouragement or enthusiasm, helplessness or pleasure, depression or fulfillment. Gifted with memory, our belly contains the archives of all our emotional life...read full article

Most people come for treatments because they are ill, in pain, or experiencing symptoms of discomfort. Any truly wholistic approach to healing involves understanding pain and other symptoms not as problems to be fixed but as messages to pay attention to. Treatment needs to be wholistic, focusing on increasing people’s self-awareness, including the parts that are in pain and want to feel good as well as the parts that protect them from feeling pain. Such an approach brings about true healing rather than simply curing the symptoms... read full article

I had been unwell for several years, experiencing over that time what is commonly known as ‘M.E.’ or chronic fatigue, along with low thyroid function. I had tried over a hundred different therapies and although I was making progress, it was a slow journey and I just didn't seem to be getting to the bottom of things... read full article

The abdomen is an area of the body which can easily become a storehouse for physical toxins as well as unresolved emotional charges. Whilst most ancient cultures saw the abdomen as one of the most important areas for massage, (the Mayans, Hopis and Samoans to name a few), and devoted complete treatments to just this area, today it is a part of the body often glossed over or avoided completely. The energy (chi) of the organs, glands, brain and nervous system converge at the navel, and by massaging this area it is possible to unwind tension manifesting in other areas of the body... read full article

Why should we, as therapists, massage the abdomen? Just as much as our brain, our entire abdomen profoundly establishes our affective life. Our enteric - or second - brain in our abdomen, with its battery of neurotransmitters and gift of memory, contains the archives of all our emotional life. The ancient Chinese knew this. They associated anger, anxiety, fear, worry and sadness with different areas of the viscera. Chi Nei Tsang, a precise massage technique for the internal organs, comes from the most ancient of Taoist traditions. It is a profoundly simple and yet highly efficient way to dissolve the negative energies which manifest as countless somatic pathologies as well as mental and emotional disorders.... read full article

Abdominal Massage in Queenstown - Sept 2006BELLY MASSAGE RELEASES UNRESOLVED EMOTIONS
|
A belly ache might not be down to last night's takeaways, but rather an emotional blockage in your stomach, Chi Nei Tsang practitioner Kim Knight said. Miss Knight, of Auckland, was in Queenstown during the weekend to give private therapy sessions and a workshop and on what was once the secret practice of Chinese monks. The relatively new holistic practice to New Zealand was the art of massaging the abdomen to release toxins and energy blockages... read full article

Excerpt from Gilles Marin's first book 'Chi Nei Tsang - Healing from Within'
|
There is a side of us that resists healing. It is the part of ourselves that forgets to take medication, eats the wrong kinds of foods, prevents us from doing our exercises and meditations, and misses an appointment with our practitioner. It is a part of ourselves that we have learned to fight and tried to change in order to heal. This is a merciless part of ourselves we associate with the very reason we get sick. It is a part of ourselves that we have learned to absolutely hate and call “the enemy within’. Without it we wouldn’t be sick; without it we wouldn’t have to change!.... read full article
