Chi Nei Tsang is excellent for a diversity of health imbalances from digestive problems to nervous tension and stress.

A series of treatments is most beneficial. Chi Nei Tsang is especially recommended for all detoxification, stress release and weight balancing programs.

Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) is the contemporary version of China’s 3,000 year-old medical system originating in Taoist philosophy. This ancient healing tradition is based on the recognition that there is a natural energy that resonates with the rhythms and cycles of life to which we are all connected. It is a comprehensive theoretical system based on the knowledge that vibrant health on all levels is the direct manifestation of a life lived in harmony with the principles of nature. The cycles, rhythms, and principles of nature are thought to be fully expressed within the human body in the form of the Five Elements. Therapies and treatments used include well- established techniques such as acupuncture, herbal medicine, massage, nutrition, Qi Gong and forms of Chinese internal practices (breath, visualisation and movement) for cultivating Qi or vital energy and directing it towards the healing of self and others.

According to ancient Taoist theory, the body has three main energy centres - the ‘Three Dantian’ – where our life force or vital energy ‘Qi’ is gathered, stored and distributed throughout the entire body. Each Dantian is associated with particular physical, emotional and psychological functions and each is brimming with a specific type of energy. Collectively, the Dantian are referred to as the ‘Three Treasures’. This treatment combines healing methods selected for their ability to activate, harmonise and balance the ‘Three Treasures’ in order to restore the flow of vital energy for healing and revitalisation. These include techniques from Tui Na massage, Reiki and crystal healing as well as aromatherapy using Kamalaya’s bespoke ‘Three Treasures’ oil blends created specifically for this treatment.

Reiki, a Japanese word meaning ‘Universal Life Energy’ is a therapy in which the Reiki healer is a channel or conduit for the energy.

Reiki accelerates the body’s natural healing power and opens the mind, body and spirit in order to restore balance on an emotional and mental level. It is a nurturing energy that harmonises the mind, body and soul.
