I was recently contacted by Kris Deva North, my one of my Chi Nei Tsang (CNT) teachers. He had some questions for me and I thought that I would post about them here – it has been an interesting journey.

KRIS: What made you interested in CNT – if you can remember! 

Me: I became interested in CNT to complement the Shiatsu practice I had at the time.  I was also training with the London Healing Tao and developed a deep respect and appreciation for my teachers Kris Deva North and Mantak Chia.  I had been building skills in sensing the energy and using it for healing, especially being able to ‘read’ the hara (tummy region) and understand how the client’s own healing processes could be enhanced.  CNT took this to another skill level and enabled me to sense a broader range of qualities of each of the meridian energies and their corresponding organs in the hara.

KRIS: What did you feel in the CNT training?

Me: During the CNT Training I felt more aware of subtle nuances in the hara and overall body.  This included how the energy flowed (or did not due to blockages) and a range of emotional and energetic communications coming from and going between the internal organs of the hara.   When I received treatments I felt emotional energies flowing and expressions of thoughts and feelings during the healing process.  My fingers and hands became stronger, more agile and freer to move and  intuitively communicate directly with unconscious, embodied processes deep within the psyche of the individual.  

KRIS: What part does it play in your life?

Me: CNT plays a large part in my work as a bodywork therapist and (emerging) shamanic practitioner. I get regular messages from people asking for sessions – either as part of their ongoing healing and transformation journey, or for a specific ailment happening in their lives.  They can find out more here: Chi Nei Tsang with Holistic Education

CNT includes working with trees and their energy.  This has continued through the years and I regularly visit particular trees to enlist their support in the treatment sessions.  They also help with clarifying my own energy and staying grounded and effective in this work. I have also led workshops supporting others in deepening a connection with nature through trees.

CNT also helps me to keep my own energy field clear and help healing processes to continue.  Life has ups and downs and working on myself, doing self-CNT, helps me to be more resilient in life and compassionate towards myself and others.

CNT includes sharing practices with others so that they can support their own healing.

I hope that this has been helpful!
