Taoïstic belly massage

“To the mind that is still, the whole universe surrenders.”
Lao Tzu

In 2025, I began my training in Chi Nei Tsang, a form of energetic organ massage rooted in the Taoist tradition. This technique allows me to naturally combine my experience in acupuncture—the more theoretical work with energy pathways—and qi gong—the more tangible, energetic practice.

During a session, the abdomen is gently yet purposefully massaged to increase energy in the body’s center, stimulate the organs, and support detoxification. In addition to the active, more yang-oriented work on the organs, the treatment also includes softer touches and shaking movements that calm the nervous system, reduce stress, and nourish the body (yin).

Through conscious breathing, deep relaxation, and awareness of what unfolds in the belly, this massage helps to balance emotions and restore inner peace.
