Chi Nei Tsang (Taoist Abdominal Massage)
Chi Nei Tsang (CNT) is a massage of the entire abdominal region. It was developed by Taoist monks in ancient China to help detoxify, strengthen and refine their bodies in order to maintain the high energy required to perform intensive spiritual practices. It literally translates to “working the energy of the internal organs” or “internal organs chi transformation.” The Taoist system sees the person as an integrated whole, with no divide between the physical, mental, emotional and spiritual aspects of our being. During a CNT session the entire abdominal region is deeply, yet softly and gently massaged. All the body’s systems are addressed - digestive, respiratory, cardiovascular, lymphatic, nervous, endocrine, urinary, reproductive and muscular-skeletal. Physically, CNT helps to:
CNT also works to address and harmonize emotions. Taoists believe our unprocessed emotional life is stored in our abdomen, particularly our digestive system. Poor emotional “digestion” is one of the main reasons for health concerns and dis-ease. Taoism holds that each organ is associated with a negative emotion and corresponding positive virtue. CNT helps us to feel and release the emotions, while restoring wellness through a process of alchemy. For example, in working with the kidneys we aim to let go of fear and restore our innate sense of gentleness, alertness and stillness. When we detoxify and cleanse our physical, mental and emotional bodies, we become open to our Highest Self that is always whole, alive, and evolving towards love and Truth. In time we become more aware of ourselves and naturally move towards balance and well-being.
Chi Nei Tsang does not attempt to treat symptoms or cure illness. Rather, it addresses one’s entire being. This being said, CNT can be beneficial to those with intractable physical or psycho-somatic concerns such as:
