The belly is considered our 2nd brain. Our intestines produce a large quantity of our body’s immune cells. The functions of Chi Nei Tsang (belly massage) include :
- skin detoxification and toning
- improved intestinal transit
- lymphatic system cleansing
- rebalancing blood circulation
- stimulation of urogenital functions
- support our immune system.
- Drain “old” emotions and rediscover lightness and happyness
Chi Nei Tsang is indicated in cases of :
- emotional malaise
- feelings of bloating, heaviness, swelling of the abdomen
- general lack of energy
- chronic back pain
- intestinal and/or digestive disorders
CHI NEI TSANG belly massage was practiced by Taoist monks in the temples of ancient China.
It’s a gentle yet profound technique that can be practiced as a self-massage or with a therapist.
Our intestines are considered our 2nd brain.
According to recent studies (Dr Gershon, Dr Devroede among others).
The intestine is made up of neurons producing neurotransmitters identical to those produced by the brain.
It also produces a large number of the body’s immune cells.
So there’s a clear relationship between the brain and the intestines; communication from one to the other takes place via the vagus nerve.
The belly is also considered to be an archive of our emotional life.
As far back as ancient China, it was discovered that negative emotional charges retained in the belly can lead to illness.
Massages are performed mainly on the abdomen, with deep, gentle touch, to encourage and stimulate the organs to return to optimal function. All vital systems will be affected. Chi Nei Tsang massage detoxifies and tones the skin, improves intestinal transit, cleanses the lymphatic system, rebalances blood circulation and stimulates urogenital functions.
On an emotional level, we can use this technique to “drain” old emotions and regain a sense of lightness and joie de vivre.
This belly massage restores balance to the body’s energetic system, which in turn ensures better immune system function.
A well-functioning belly is a guarantee of quality of life, both physically and emotionally.
