Training and Certification Requirements leading to recognised UK
Certification and Qualification
Chi Nei Tsang also known as Taoist Massage or Hara-Shiatsu
combines well with other forms of healing and bodywork. You will also benefit
from doing the first three Steps of the Foundations of Taoist Practice
to understand the theory and to satisfy a distinctive requirement of
a Chi Nei Tsang practitioner: the ability to look after oneself and manage your own
energy-field to avoid depletion or contamination.
Here at Universal Healing Tao UK we provide a complete, integrated and structured program leading
to a recognised qualification, membership of a Professional Association,
eligibility for insurance, and registration with the Complementary and Natural Healthcare Council.
CNT Training is facilitated by Kris Deva North, Senior Teacher
of Mantak Chia's Universal Healing Tao and founder of the London Chi Nei
Tsang Institute. In addition to facilitating training at the London Tao Centre, Kris
has taught CNT to nurses and midwives including the University of Greenwich School
of Midwifery, and the Zita West Clinic. During his time at Tao Garden
and on subsequent visits he was chosen to give CNT treatments to Mantak Chia and family.

Taoist Massage or Chi Nei Tsang (also known as Organ Energy Transformation) is a form of
Hara Shiatsu, an entire system of Taoist deep healing that works with the energy-flow of
five major systems: energy-meridian, fasciae-tendon-muscular, nervous, vascular and lymphatic.
The navel area, the centre where all systems meet, connects - or separates - our upper
and lower parts, left and right, front and back, inner and outer, mind and body - we feel
our emotions here, causing internal blockage and distortions which often manifest as symptoms
elsewhere.
Experiment: grab a handful of material of the clothes you are wearing, around the navel
area, and twist. Feel where the tension goes. See where the material distorts - what is the
most distal point? Imagine the turmoil inside, when just the surface tension is so dramatic -
traumatic?
Even after we have mentally resolved the emotion, the physical effects can still leave
knots, tangles, and congestion. When obstructed the internal organs store unhealthy energies
than can seep into other systems. In search of an outlet these toxic energies create a cycle
of negativity and stress, festering in the organs and overflowing into the abdomen, the body’s
garbage dump. The energetic centre at the navel becomes congested and cut off from the rest of
the body.
Experiment: sitting upright, relax so the abdomen is soft. Place the tip of your middle
finger in your navel. Gently, and very slowly, keeping the finger rigid, push inwards towards
your spine. How far can you comfortably go? When the finger can penetrate to the front of the
spine, without pain, you are clear, free of the physical residue of long-past emotions.
Chi Nei Tsang can help resolve the aftermath of emotional trauma and its physical residue,
freeing abdominal blockages and projecting healing energy throughout the entire bodymind.
Kris's Personal Testimonial: I have been involved in healing practices and meditation
since 1972, experienced treatments by acupuncture, herbs, reiki and many different forms of
bodywork all over the world, am a qualified practitioner of acupressure, Swedish and Thai
massage, and a registered Shiatsu teacher and teacher trainer. In my own experience Chi Nei
Tsang is powerful healing medicine, used on its own or to enhance many other therapies, and second only to Healing NLP
in its power for transformational change.
