This modality offers healing benefits for a wide variety of complaints. READ MORE The importance of the belly’s role in health and wellbeing has eluded most Westerners. Research of gastroenterologist, Michael Gershon confirms that the intestines have more neural cells capable of both feeling and memory than our spinal column. He refers to the “gut” as the second or abdominal brain. Taoists monks and practitioners have recognized this truth for thousands of years. The philosophical foundation of Chi Nei Tsang is an ancient Chinese healing art that focuses primarily on the abdomen. Developed 5,000 years ago by Taoist monks who also originated Chi Kung, Tai Chi, Feng Shui and Classical Chinese Medicine. They discovered the most effective method to holistically transform a person’s health came from working directly on the abdominal area while simultaneously transmitting chi or life force. Chinese Medicine focuses on the concept of Chi or energy. Quality of health is evaluated by checking the movement of the Chi in each of the organ systems. The capacity to control the Chi, along with the exercises designed for this purpose, is called Chi-Kung. Thus Chi Nei Tsang is the art of applying Chi-Kung to the internal organ systems or Nei-Tsang Gilles Marin / Five Elements, Six Conditions 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. This supports 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 the production of beneficial neurotransmitters.

Teacher and long time practitioner Gilles Marin of the Chi Nei Tsang Institute in Berkeley 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." Master Mantak Chia, creator of the modern form of Chi Nei Tsang, practiced Taoist disciplines under the tutelage of one of the last surviving White Cloud Taoist monks, One Cloud. In 1980, Master Chia brought this modality to the West. These teachings are the core of the "Universal Tao System” offered and taught in Chiang Mai, Thailand.
