Chi nei tsang - Taoist abdominal detox massage

As a massage therapist and somatic bodyworker with nearly 40 years of experience in the field, CNT has become my go to modality for every chronic health condition and emotional or psychological problem that my clients present.
I initially trained in CNT in 2010 in Chiang Mai, and returned in 2016 for more advanced training after I had seen the difference in the life experience of my clients.
I combine the technical aspects of this ancient Taoist/Chinese medicinal massage of the organs and intestines with the knowledge gained over decades of somatic bodywork training and experience, working with the interface of physical, emotional and mental processes.

In the words of Carolyn Myss, our biography becomes our biology.
​
Our bodies reflect the stories we carry, not only of our own attempts to navigate our childhood family dysfunction, and other stressful and traumatic life experiences, but also of our ancestral wounds and genetic memories of abuse, wars, poverty, hunger and disease.
​
Ida Rolfe, the founder of Rolfing, a deep tissue manipulation of fascia, the connective tissue that surrounds muscles, nerves and organs, was asked on her death bed what she would have done differently, and she said: more work in the abdomen.
​
The particular personal energy dynamics of the abdomen and the 2nd and 3rd chakras that we focus on, are control dramas and self esteem issues. In this training I will share my way of helping the client call back personal power lost in contracts and agreements that were made in order survive family dysfunction and be accepted by the primary caregivers and the extended community they grew up in, the tribe.
​
We sacrifice and leave behind aspects of our being when our emotional reactions are not fully accepted and allowed by our parents. We learn that if we want to keep the connection, which is the most important thing for a child, we need to suppress certain emotions, and even parts of our being.
​
This work can therefore sometimes be experienced as a soul retrieval, and a remembering of your true nature.
Blocked emotions and unprocessed trauma are seen as the primary cause of blocked and toxic chi in the abdomen, and subsequently can develop into chronic health conditions. Other causes are toxic environmental pollutants in the air, food, water and medications, bad eating habits, lack of exercise and stress.
