Summary

Chi Nei Tsang is a Taoist visceral manipulation body-work and massage which emphasizes moving chi energy to the abdominal organs. Developed by Taoist Master Mantak Chia as part of his Healing Tao System, it works on internal dysfunctions and energy blocks using the breathing exercises of chi-kung, therapeutic manipulations, and meditation. Students learn how to recycle negative energy, recognize personal patterns of tension, and use simple manipulations to restore vitality to parts of the body.

Author Biography

Gilles Marin has practiced massage therapy since 1976. He directs the Chi Nei Tsang Institute in Berkeley, CA. Originally from France, he is one of the senior students of Mantak Chia.
