It literally means
Chi: Qi = energy
Nei Tsang: organs
It is a technique derived from Qi Gong and Tui Na.
It is therefore a massage that will work the internal energies of the organs.
But what exactly is it and in what cases should it be used?
What is Chi Nei Tsang?
Chi Nei Tsang is an abdominal massage of the internal organs: liver, stomach, intestines, spleen, etc. In Chinese energy we consider the abdomen as the seat of our emotions. That is why the stomach is a very important area. Its energy balance is essential for emotional harmonisation.
In fact, a positive and a negative emotion is linked to each organ:
The heart: joy is opposed to impatience.
The lung: acceptance opposes sadness.
The liver: kindness opposes anger.
The kidney: liveliness opposes fear.
The spleen/stomach: compassion opposes anxiety.
The goal is to establish a balance.
How does a Chi Nei Tsang session take place?
A Chi Nei Tsang session therefore focuses on the abdominal area. We will relax, release areas of tension in the stomach to loosen energy knots and restore harmonious circulation.
Combination of manual massage techniques with breathing.
The organs, in fact, whose energy is harmonious, participate in the awakening of the self-healing power of the body, of the being. This is why it is important during the session to observe and let go of one's feelings and releases emotions.
In what cases should it be used?
Chi Nei Tsang massage can be practised preventively (during the change of season) or when an imbalance occurs. It is probably also the time when expressions such as: 'I am upset', 'I have a knot in my stomach', 'I have a knot in my stomach'
Chi Nei Tsang mainly allows:
to improve intestinal disorders (diarrhoea, constipation, pain, etc.)
to reduce anxiety and distress
to relieve back pain
The benefits of Chi Nei Tsang and the importance of taking care of one's stomach are recognised. In fact, Western studies have shown that our gut has neurons and neurotransmitters that interact with those in our brain
