Chi Nei Tsang: Chi Massage for the Vital Organs

By Mantak Chia

Book Overview

An ancient Taoist system for detoxifying and rejuvenating the internal organs * Presents techniques to clear blockages in the body's energy flow * Includes illustrated exercises to relieve common ailments, revitalize the organs, and enable readers to take charge of their own health and well-being * Focuses on the navel center, where negative emotions, stress, and illness accumulate The techniques of Chi Nei Tsang evolved in Asia during an era when few physicians were available and people had to know how to heal themselves. Many people today have symptoms that modern medicine is not able to cure because a physical source for the problem is not easily found. The energies of negative emotions, stress, and tension--all common in modern life--and the weight of past illness accumulate in the abdominal center, causing energy blockages and congestion. When this occurs, all vital functions stagnate and myriad problems arise. By practicing the techniques of Chi Nei Tsang, this stagnation is removed and the vital organs surrounding the navel center are detoxified and rejuvenated. Master Chia teaches readers how to avoid absorbing negative energies from others and take full charge of their health through the self-healing techniques of Chi Nei Tsang. He offers fully illustrated exercises that show how to detoxify the internal organs and clear the energy (chi) channels throughout the body. He also presents methods for balancing emotions, managing stress, and observing the body in order to recognize, ameliorate, and prevent maladies before they become a problem.

Chi nei tsang

easy to read, simple exercises to improve your health. I have been doing the exercises and notice improvement in my digestion.

Unique System of Massage

I have yet to find another source on this type of massage system. The Chi Lei system is different from other massage system in the sense that it works directly with the organs, detoxifying them through massage. Mantak Chia book on the topic is comprehensive, detailed and clear enough to be read. However some of the massage techniques are to difficult to convey in a book and it will be helpful to learn on video. I gave the book a 4 star instead of a 5 because the illustrations are sometimes not clear. The book should have used photographs to show some techniques and points.

Chia's best

Not to deny what's written below, but this book is the most comprehensive in the Chia library. At a certain point, the extra detail is nice to have. Learning a massage system from a book is nigh impossible, but the wealth of information in this book is unmatched by any of Chia's other books (many of which are quite good). If I could only have two of MC's books (and I've read them all), it would be this one and Bone Marrow Nei Kung.
