“ Chi Nei Tsang is the ultimate step towards good health, disease prevention and longevity.”

Chi Nei Tsang (Taoist Abdominal Massage) is not only a body therapy technique, but a whole discipline involving training in vital energy cultivation (qigong) and active meditations to help open the body, mind and spirit. CNT is a way to begin to understand the healing Tao system which is a very complete self-improvement program based on esoteric Taoist teaching.

Now this ancient healing system is brought to the public as practical information which can be incorporated into a healing practice and into a self-care program. Chi Nei Tsang is the ultimate step towards good health, disease prevention and longevity.

Level One is an introduction to Taoist Medicine and the principles that have ruled Traditional Oriental Medicine for thousands of years through the practical use of qigong and the gently massage of the internal organs.

During this class you will learn:

• A full body detoxifying routine including treatment for gallstones and parasites
• Manual techniques to improve digestion and alleviate constipation
• How to deal with abdominal pain including irritable bowel syndrome, menstrual cramps, endometriosis and fibroids
• Introduction to the 5 Elements Theory and the 6 Healing Sounds
• Qigong and Meditations to boost your energy level and harmonize the organs

Benefits reported from clients and students at this level include: better digestion and assimilation of life events, regulation of elimination, relief from abdominal pain, relief from chronic headaches, spinal adjustment, better rest and sleep, and a greater sense of freedom.
