What is Chi Nei Tsang?

The Chi Nei Tsang, CNT, is a therapeutic massage forms found deeper in traditional Chinese medicine, created thousands of years.
Chi refers to energy and information and Nei Tsang to internal organs: for Chi Nei Tsang literally means “energy work and information of the internal organs” or “Transformation of energy of internal organs. It is truly a holistic system of healing through a gentle massage on the direct and internal organs of the abdomen, allows people to “liberate” themselves from physical stresses, mental, emotional and spiritual. Use all the knowledge and skills cultivated in the ancient Chinese disciplines such as Tai Chi Chuan, Chi Kung, Kung-Fu and Taoist meditations.
The ancient Chinese Taoists discovered that the area behind the navel is the powerhouse of the most crucial and powerful body. Any discomfort or blockage in this area hinders the free flow of vital energy.
Make a test yourself! said Andrew Fretwell, one of the instructors of the school master of Mantak Chia, Taoist master the largest currently in Chiang Mai (Thailand) “Sit upright, relax your posture so the abdomen is tender. Put the tip the middle finger on your navel, and gently and slowly, squeeze inward. It controls how much you can comfortably into your belly and if the finger can penetrate to the front of the spine without pain, you are clean and free of physical residue of old emotions . Obviously this was not my case.
I asked him how he acted the Chi Nei Tsang and Andrew told me that is a possible method of energy (chi) to the body through massage of a series of points around the navel area and internal organs to increase the flow energy towards them. Many healing systems work more on the periphery of the body, while the Chi Nei Tsang work directly on the internal organs, correcting any structural imbalance and help organs and other systems (like digestion, respiration, lymphatic, endocrine, urinary, reproductive , skeleton and muscles, acupuncture meridians) to function smoothly.
Later, Andrew explained that the navel plays a key role in our body during conception because it is here is its first cell and every part of it is developed in a spiral around this first cell. The navel is directly connected to any other body part and working on it can affect the entire body.
