otherwise, everything is fine and interesting, a lot of work here, pain with every step, but the progress can be felt, both as practice and as improvement of my own physical and spiritual condition.
I’ve been here at Tao Garden for 2 weeks now, a beautiful place full of energy. I already studied 2 levels from the abdominal massage, Chi Nei Tsang, with Mantak Chia, the creator of the Universal Tao system. He is a special man and I think he had a great courage when he broke down the wall of the secret around the Taoist system, which had been transmitted until him from master to disciple, in small groups or individually. He made this information public for the occidental world and thus I had access to it. The two weeks confirmed to me what I already understood, that working around the abdominal area is special and the effects, both at the psychic and physical level, are often fascinating. You know our expression about the navel as “the hub of the universe”…; in this case the hub is considered the centre of the whole organism, from it radiate physical and energetic links towards all the parts of our body. Thus, by working in the umbilical area, effects are transmitted wherever necessary; moreover an impressing quantity of emotional stress accumulated in the abdominal area is released; I saw with my eyes people who started crying or laughing hysterically only after a few movements in that area …
a funny confession, but extremely serious – one of the most important things I learnt here is belching; it sounds rude and embarrassing, maybe, but it is very healthy. The practical explanation is that very often, our intestines are overpopulated with intestinal gas which cannot be eliminated; after massaging the abdomen, the respective movements manage to stimulate the gases which start moving throughout the intestines; after this, with some help from the masseur or even by yourself, you can eliminate them on the mouth or on the other end. the result? soft intestines, with plenty of space for the food and more suitable for digestion, less constipation, some signs on the body and on the face (acne, etc) disappear.
today I started a new class, Karsai Nei Tsang, massage of the sexual area; I think for some readers questions will be raised, but I will get back with details in the following diary…; and it is today also that I found out that the state of California, the richest American state, just officially legislated this type of massage, considering it useful for health and not only …
dear traveler! thnk you for your diary, I found it looking after the relation between nouad and taoism. you were by mantak chia, could you tell me more about his approach to the massage? because what I see till now in internet is: nouad is stretching, with colthes. but mantak seems to propose something else! thanks again, and happy new year :-) Nestor, in Kerala, India, thinking of going to Tahiland to Mantak and / other to the himalayas :-)
