An ancient therapy
Chi Nei Tsang is a Chinese healing massage that originated in Taoist monasteries to help monks detox, strengthen and refine their bodies, giving them the energy needed for spiritual practices. Using techniques from Qi Gong, Tai Chi and Kung Fu, Chi Nei Tsang works to create a balance of body, mind and spirit.
Relieve stress and increase energy
Stress, tension and negative emotions from our modern lifestyle accumulate in our abdomen. The entire energy of our body is blocked when this area becomes congested, slowly weakening our internal organs and immune system and decreasing energy and vitality. Chi Nei Tsang focuses on acupressure points around the navel and surrounding abdominal area to relieve congestion and increase energy, helping our body function better, heal and fight off illness.
Enhance detox
Many organs involved in detoxification are located in the abdominal area, and Chi Nei Tsang can support them- intestines, kidneys, liver and lymphatics. Our intestines are our primary channel of elimination and when our bowels are not working properly our body struggles to remove wastes. By manipulating the abdomen, Chi Nei Tsang improves the performance of our intestines and helps remove toxins faster. During a detox program, Chi Nei Tsang massage is especially valuable since our body is working hard to get rid of wastes, and abdominal massage eases this process.
Stabilize emotions
According to Eastern philosophy, we hold many emotions in our organs - anger in our liver, worry in our spleen and fear in our kidneys. Decongesting these organs with abdominal massage releases psychological and emotional tensions, supporting emotional detox. Our thoughts and feelings affect our physiology, and when these areas are in balance, our body restores itself better.
Improve digestion
In addition to releasing physical, psychological and emotional stress, Chi Nei Tsang increases nutrient -providing circulation. This allows abdominal organs to work more efficiently which can alleviate digestive problems such as bloating, gas, irritable bowel syndrome and constipation.
Loosen up with an abdominal massage during detox or anytime you're feeling blocked up. Chi Nei Tsang increases energy flow throughout the body and improves our well-being. When our core is brought back into balance, so is our overall health.
