Unwind: Chi Nei Tsang / Qigong / Neigong
What is Qi/Chi? It is energy, intelligence and information. When our qi/chi or flow of energy and information is stagnant, low or overactive we experience symptoms that reflect the general quality of the body's qi. Through Qigong, Chi Nei Tsang and Neigong we learn to harness the power qi and will make great strides in a sense of completeness and wholeness that brings beneficial effects to our physiology, body chemistry and emotional health.
Chi Nei Tsang (pronounced, chee nayt song) literally means Chi - energy / Nei - In / Tsang - the belly. Consistent treatment with CNT cultivates greater awareness, clarity of mind, vitality and enthusiasm. Chi Nei Tsang is not a massage modality, but rather a student/teacher relationship, in which the practitioner imparts an understanding of the healing power within all of us, the student in particular. It's uniqueness bears from this relationship factor. Being shamanistic in its approach the practitioner is teacher as well as offering the therapeutic modality. The practitioner works with the flow or stagnation of chi within the body to facilitate releasing of emotional charges and congestion in the organs.

The philosophy of Qigong or Chi Kung is communicated very well in the book, Five Elements/Six Conditions, by Gilles Marin's a must read for those interested in understanding the philosophy that supports these modalities.
Defined as a combination of two words, Chi/Qi meaning “vital life force energy” or “breath of life” and Kung/Gong which pertains to a skill or an exercise. The two words combined to describe systems and methods of “energy cultivation” and the movement of intrinsic energy within the body. Stagnation, congestion or overly active chi in the body is the root of physical and emotional imbalances. The practice of Chi Kung greatly assists the balancing of the body's life force or chi, enhancing feelings of wellbeing and improving health. |
The practice of Qigong is for people of all ages and experiences who are interested in reducing stress, increasing flexibility, improving muscle strength and agility. Movements are gentle and easy to learn requiring no special equipment other than possibly a yoga mat. Focused breathing, an integral part of Chi Kung practice, has been scientifically verified to enhance all aspects of well being. It improves circulation, reduce reactivity to stress, enhance elimination of toxins, improve structural alignment and strengthens body awareness and centeredness and facilitate the release of stagnant energies both emotional and physical
Qigong encompasses a large variety of both physical and mental practices designed to help balance the body and the mind. Consisting of one or more of the following types of practice: Tai Chi and other martial arts derive from Qigong as does Chi Nei Tsang, Fung Shui, Neigong or inner or meditative qigong
The origin of qigong is commonly attributed to the legendary Yellow Emperor and the classic Book of Internal Medicine. Archeological evidence suggests the first forms of Chi Kung can be linked to shamanic meditative practice and gymnastic exercises. The Mawangdui Silk Texts (168 BC) shows a series of Tao Yin exercises that bear physical resemblance to some of the Chi Kung exercises being practiced today. In the Taoist tradition, the writings of Lao Tzu and Zhuangzi both describe meditative cultivation and physical exercises to extend one's lifespan and improve one’s sense of wellbeing. The common thread throughout history is the increasing popularity of this system of mindful practice, which has spread throughout China and now across the world.

Neigong is the innermost practice of Qigong. It is the tapping into the 5 Elemental Forces/Intelligences to not only clear emotional and psychological blocks of stagnant qi, energy and information that does not serve you. Old messages, behavior patterns and ways of thinking about oneself and the world around us.
Neigong or “Internal Skill” is the process by which we are able to cultivate the internal environment and elevate consciousness. It is is the most advanced and complete of the internal practices of qigong. Qigong is a tool for working through this process to achieve good health and mental clarity. The principles of Neigong are entirely different. In that it provides a foundation for the evolution of consciousness and expansion of self love. |
