Chi Nei Tsang / Chi Kung / Nei Kung

Consistent treatment cultivates greater awareness, clarity of mind, vitality and enthusiasm.
Wellness Consultant and Founder of Bridge to Health, Vanessa Goldeen was first introduced to CNT by her dear friend, Mary Beth Corbin, CMT, CNT. Amazed at the progress she made in her sessions with Mary Beth, she knew this was a powerful healing tool she would want to incorporate into her wellness practice.
Chi Nei Tsang (pronounced, chee nayt song) consists of gentle abdominal manipulations coordinated with focused breathing techniques. Unwinding the belly encourages the elimination of toxic accumulations, restores organs to their optimal position, improves digestion, elimination and stimulates lymphatic and circulatory systems and most importantly facilitates improvement in the production of the neurotransmitters that support so many of our biological functions*. (see the research doc below linking depression and poor gut health)
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. Bringing to the experience the practitioner works with the flow or stagnation of chi within the body. Chi is intelligence and information. When our chi is stagnant or has low or overactive flow we will experience a wide variety of symptoms that reflect the quality of the body's chi. In harnessing the power of our individual chi, we can make great strides in a sense of completeness and wholeness through this healing modality that affects all parts of physiology, body chemistry and emotional health. CNT offers healing benefits for a wide variety of complaints. Read More
A powerful but gentle tool to restore proper nerve function and reset the limbic system Chi Nei Tsang literally restores healthier brain wave patterns and improves neurotransmitter production, reducing stress hormones. The power of Chi Nei Tsang comes from the focus of breathing. The student is taught to be with the breath while the teacher applies chi energetically into the abdomen. This synergy creates an increase of free flowing energy in the body which in turn relieves stagnation and improves the flow of blood, lymph and nerve impulses. The infused "chi", produces the effect of opening emotional blockages and enhancing our ability to feel. Connecting with our feelings set the stage for the digestion of emotional charges. The body is now able to digest and process what has heretofore been literally "stuck" in the system. The end result is a greater sense of awareness, relaxation and a natural mindfulness. All of this is achieved by support a shift in the body's microbiology opposed to trying to sort out issues with the mind alone. The increased awareness empowers the student to make more self loving choices in daily life which leads to enjoying life more, the ultimate goal of healing! This is very different from the traditional sense of needing to fix something that's wrong. It's a natural evolution of consciousness and awareness that comes when our microbiology supports production of beneficial neurotransmitters.
Below you will find "Benefits of Chi Kung - A Clinical Review". This article is presented by The Townsend Newsletter and is co-authored by, Dr. Roger Jahnke and Nancy Faass writer and editor. Dr. Jahnke is a clinician in Traditional Chinese Medicine, a recognized expert in qigong, and author of the best selling book, "The Healer Within". This comprehensive look at the therapeutic benefit of Chi Kung, Tai Chi and yoga practices provides scientific proof for what teachers, practitioners and students already know.
Teacher and long time practitioner Gilles Marin of the Chi Nei Tsang Institute in Berkley California states, "The objective of Chi Nei Tsang is to help people grow and change by listening to their bodies, not by fixing them." In his book, "Healing From Within - Chi Nei Tsang", Gilles goes onto to say, "Chi Nei Tsang works on the internal structures of the body to upgrade the quality and quantity of chi flowing there. It is an internal form of feng-shui that creates a field of information ("the healing field") in which healing takes place."

What clients have to say about Chi Nei Tsang...
Having the opportunity to work with Vanessa using CNT techniques has been a blessing. I found it is stirring up feelings and emotions I have been eating for years which I physically felt in my gut, stomach and heart areas. Each time I went in, the next few days would be filled with surges of emotions from all directions. I found I was able to finally handle these emotions rather than re-eating or pushing them down. Chi Nei Tsang has been really helpful for me to begin to learn to tap into my body and be okay with where I am at in my life, even if it isn't pretty. ~ Alexa P
Having completed regular sessions with Vanessa and the Chi Nei Tsang modality I have begun to notice these sessions have helped alleviate chronic pain symptoms I have from other issues. I found myself calmer and more at ease in my body. I plan to continue sessions as a regular part of my routine to keep chronic pain at bay with out medications. ~ Jeannie M
As a Traditional Chinese Medicine Practitioner and Acupuncturist I had heard of, but was unfamiliar with Chi Nei Tsang. This astoundingly effect modality offers the clients improved flow of energy and balancing the pulses. The effects go way beyond this to an improved sense of wellbeing that allows one to move through emotional challenges with more ease. Vanessa's guided breathing work is meditative and very calming. She empowers clients to find self sufficiency within! I highly recommend CNT and corresponding Chi Kung as a regular part of any healthy living efforts. ~ Linda L
My Acupuncturist and my Wellness Practitioner have been citing the root cause of my long standing sinus congestion being gut issues. I must admit having weekly Chi Nei Tsang sessions has made me aware of this connection. Also awareness of my breath and how shallow it has been came as a surprise to me. Chronic sinus issues leave you with constrained breathing which is very fatiguing. Chi Nei Tsang sessions are indeed helping me breath ore fully and clear this long standing health issue. ~ David G
