Chi Nei Tsang or Thai Abdominal Chi and Internal Organs Massage is a healing touch massage modality combining ancient Chinese, Thai Massage and meditation techniques which focus mainly on the abdominal area.
Chi Nei Tsang literally means “working the energy of the internal organs” or “internal organs chi transformation.” CNT uses all the principles of Kung Fu and Tai Chi Chuan known as Chi Kung (Qigong). Therefore, Chi Nei Tsang is a form of “applied Chi Kung.” It is, at the same time, hands-on bodywork and energy healing.
Developed by the White Cloud Taoist Monks in ancient China, Chi Nei Tsang is a holistic approach to the healing touch modality. It integrates the physical, mental, emotional and spiritual aspects of our being. CNT goes to the very origin of health problems, including psychosomatic and emotional responses. It effectively addresses chronic conditions including digestive problems, headaches, chronic fatigue, menstrual cramps, sciatica, uterine fibroids, infertility, insomnia, depression
This modality incorporates the Taoist understanding of the meridian system of energy and focuses on the navel center of the body. It is thought that the navel center is the primary area where imbalances occur, and that these imbalances may cause negative emotions, stress, tension congestion and ultimately illness. The techniques used in Chi Nei Tsang aim to clear energy blockages within the abdominal area and the internal organs before they are noticed in the periphery of the body.
