Healing from Anxiety
With Chi Nei Tsang Touch Therapy
Are you suffering from anxiety? If you are, you are not alone. Anxiety is a very common emotional condition in our society that can cause great pain, and leave us feeling stressed, miserable and lonely.
For many people the only possible help for anxiety is to get a prescription for medication to relieve the symptoms. Medication may take the edge off anxiety, but the side effects are many, and the underlying causes of the discomfort are still there, unresolved.
My discovery of an alternative way to help people get relief from anxiety Eighteen years ago when I was searching for a more effective way to help my bodywork clients I discovered an alternative, holistic modality called Chi Nei Tsang (CNT). I decided to experience it for myself. After a few sessions I was so impressed by how grounded, alive and relaxed that I felt that I began training to become a practitioner myself!
CNT is about helping you connect more deeply with yourself. The main focus is on the abdomen (now called “the second brain), an area of the body that is often neglected in the healing process. In my training I learned that contrary to our assumption that emotional experiences are governed by our brain alone, actually emotions originate in the body's center, the belly! So when you have a "gut feeling," or “have butterflies in your stomach", you are connecting with your belly.
I learned that, just like with food, our body needs to digest our emotions so we can fully let go of them! Our minds alone aren’t able to digest emotions like anxiety because our emotions aren’t rational and they can’t be solved like problems.
Healing happens in a safe space, with respect and caring. During a Chi Nei Tsang session, you lie on a massage table fully clothed. My touch on the abdomen is deep, soft, and gentle. The abdomen, perhaps more than any other part of the body, requires the touch of gentleness, strength and compassion.
When a CNT practitioner works on your belly you have the opportunity to release deep internal tensions that are the underlying cause of your distress. And while the focus is mainly on the abdomen, your entire body goes through a healing process.
Over the many years that I have been a practitioner of Chi Nei Tsang I have seen clients recover from countless emotional issues often originating in early childhood.
A woman recovers from anxiety. When Joan came to see me she was very distressed. She said that she had been experiencing anxiety for years and was exhausted and discouraged. She told me that when she was in a room with other people her heart would beat fast and she couldn’t wait to get away. She said that her anxiety was running her life; that she tried different medications, but was dissatisfied and hoping that an alternative therapy might help her to get some relief.
Since Chi Nei Tsang specializes in helping people to recover from anxiety and other challenging emotions I was able to help Joan to get to the very roots of her anxiety. By working on her abdomen during her sessions I was able to help her to release deep tensions within so that the energy she used to hold the tension was now available.
Like Joan, many people live for years with uncomfortable emotions with no real relief. Now Joan can be with other people and feel much more at ease. Now she can enjoy her life! For more information and FAQ about Chi Nei Tsang, please refer to my website www.chineitsangnow.com.
