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 …
and a couple of photos with myself...
