Chi Nei Tsang (pronounced CHEE-NAYT-SAHNG) is a tremendously gentle and powerful means for facing what has kept us in disharmony and cut off from life. When we can face the disruptive patterns, we can create new roads of health and harmony, strengthening our constant (but sometimes compromised) connection with the Five Elemental Forces, the Cosmos, which is always present, waiting for us to remember. 

Chi Nei Tsang is a Five Elements based healing modality which awakens our bodies, minds, souls to life by using our hands to directly access, detoxify, and transform our internal organs. Consequently, we feel what is really happening inside.

Chi Nei Tsang is so effective because we work with the person, not the disease.  As we feel and accept the parts of ourselves we have believed unacceptable, we grow as human beings and heal on the metabolic, structural, and emotional levels equally.  

The practitioner gently and deeply manipulates the student’s belly, or second brain, so she or he can meet themselves without judging and thus have the ability to grow out of healing crises ranging from depression and addiction to digestive issues, infertility, painful menses/transition to menopause, back pain, structural issues, fibroids, impotence, and the list goes on and on. (I’m not suggesting discontinuing a doctor’s care when necessary. Chi Nei Tsang works wonderfully to support us in our healing journey when we’re working with conventional medicine.)

Chi Nei Tsang was developed thousands of years ago by Taoist monks to prepare themselves for the highest spiritual practices. Perhaps the highest spiritual practice of our time is to make our way clearly through the distractions of modern life, the pain of our personal histories, and the collective inherited traumas of our families and the world and begin to navigate life with love and self acceptance.
