Chi Nei Tsang Chiang Mai: Abdominal Chi Massage Courses
“Abdominal Chi Massage (inspired by Chi Nei Tsang) is a massage energy therapy that touches the abdomen gently and deeply to clear the internal organs from stagnant and congested energies and remove habituated emotional patterns, creating an inner space to facilitate healing and realization.”
Abdominal Chi Massage rejuvenates, regenerates and balances each one of the body’s vital functions and helps to release unresolved emotions.
Abdominal Chi Massage literally means “working the energy (Chi) of the internal organs (nei tsang)” or “internal organ chi transformation”. Treatments involve using a gentle, soft, and deep touch to the belly to desensitize, tonify and energize the internal organs to help them work more efficiently and to release unprocessed emotional charges which we store in our belly.

“Testimonial from 8 years experienced therapist”
“I joined a fantastic and really instructive week with Remco in a Abdominal Chi Massage course. We were a group of 8 people. In spite of the group I had the feeling that it was a private course as Remco was there as soon as we had questions or wanted to have help in practicing! Remco is a very sensitive and skillful teacher full of patience and humor! Thanks Remco, for the great week! Ursula …”

Chi Nei Tsang Treatments: Physical & Emotional Detox
A very popular treatment coming from the Chinese Tao tradition, where Abdominal Chi Massage is known as Chi Nei Tsang. In our abdomen and its organs, we are holding and storing a lot of physical and emotional tension. This area is one of the first parts of the body that responds to stress and tension; sometimes it is also called the second brain of our body. In this treatment, this tension (both physical and emotional) is going to be released by a variation of massage techniques, one of them working with pressure points connected to these different organs.

About Chi Nei Tsang: A Profound and Deep Massage
Chi Nei Tsang is one of the most profound therapeutic massages found in Chinese and Thai Medicine. Chi means energy and Nei Tsang means organs, Chi Nei Tsang literally means “working the energy of the internal organs” or “internal organs chi transformation.” Our main organs (liver, heart, lungs, etc.) holding both physical and emotional tension which influences our health both physical and emotional. It is an ancient and powerful method of hands-on healing that works with the major systems of the body: breath, vascular, lymphatic, nervous, fascia/tendon/muscle and acupuncture meridian.
What can Chi Nei Tsang do?
Dr. Micheal Gershon’s The Second Brain points to the importance of “the guts” and the role they play in maintaining our well-being. Chi Nei Tsang treatments involve using a gentle, soft, and deep touch to the abdomen to detoxify, tonify and energize the internal organs to work more efficiently and to deal with unprocessed emotional charges.
Some effects of Chi Nei Tsang?

Small Groups or Private Teaching
Through my experience as an Abdominal Chi Massage teacher, I found that students progress fastest and learn the best when the teaching is done in small groups (max 8 students). Crucial in the learning experience is that students get the right guidance and feedback while performing the massage; a dedicated teacher is very important. In this way, you will receive direct feedback and progress faster.
Learning Massage Takes Time
To learn how to give a good Abdominal Chi Massage takes time. To do a 1-week course can be a good start, but it is just a start. Some of my students would like to study longer, sometimes wanting to do the course 2 or 3 times. In this way, when they go back home, they feel they have enough foundation to start practicing at home.
So although I am offering set courses of a week, it is also possible to contact me and tell me your time frame and your ambitions; in this way, I will be able to make a special program for you.
