Traditional Chinese Self Massage
Chi Self-Massage is a method of hands-on self-healing work using one’s
internal energy or Chi to rejuvenate the sense organs (eyes,
ears, nose, tongue, skin), to strengthen the bones, tendons, joints and
ligaments and to detoxify the inner organs.
Using internal power (Chi) and gentle external stimulation, this simple yet
highly effective self massage technique enables us to dissolve some of the
energy blocks and stress points responsible for disease and the aging
process.
Taoist rejuvenation dates back 5000 years to the Yellow Emperor’s classic
text on internal medicine.
Virtually all Western style massage is massage
primarily of the muscles. Whatever its virtues, Western massage is
altogether different from Chi Massage. From ancient times to the present,
Taoist Masters have been remarkably youthful, appearing and functioning at
least twenty years younger than their actual ages.
The techniques used by Taoists are some five thousand years old and, until
very recently, were closely guarded secrets passed on from a Master to a
small group of students. Often, too, each Master knew only a small part.
Now modern Masters have pieced together the entire system of Chi Massage in
a logical sequence in such a way that once you have it shown to you, you
need only 20 to 30 minutes of daily practice.
The sequence we will learn is mainly based
on the Traditional Chinese Medicine, but also on the Thai Massage
tradition and is stimulating special energy points and meridians (energy
channels), incorporating occasionally healing sounds and visualization!
In short order you will note improvement in complexion, taste, vision,
hearing, sinuses, gums, teeth, tongue, the internal organs and general
stamina. |
