A special seminar was held for blind masseurs in 2013. You can not teach the blind by just describing the technique. Here I am demonstrating a technique with several hands on mine. It is the best way to teach people who cannot see what you are doing.
The second seminar on Chi Nei Tsang internal organs massage and Qigong in 1998 in the University of the Philippines. The first seminar was held in February 1997 but I cannot find the photo.
Part of the practices was Sunrise meditation to use the energy of the sun in the healing process. The practice was new to the women but loved it when they settled into it.
The photo shows part of the terrible devastation in Barangay 89-90, Tacloban City. The wind strength was the strongest in recorded history.
I cannot remember when this photo was taken. But I do remember there were 7 Roman Catholic nuns. The seminar was on CNT internal organs massage. The nuns refused to have their abdomen touched, so it was a problem because CNT basically works on the area.They also insisted on working only among themselves in the privacy of a room. However when they realized it was impossible to learn CNT massage without a teacher and without somebody to work on, they decided to join us. At the end they said they wanted to learn acupuncture, too.
Here is the certificate for the CNT and Qigong seminar in February 1997 signed by the ATRC director Jennifer Madamba.
An ancient ritual of cleansing by Fire. The group went through different stages during the course of 2 and 1/2 days — nourishing the body through uling/charcoal therapy on the navel; meditation of 6 Healing Sounds; Qigong postures; Xing Shen Zhuang Fa.
White Crane Spreads Wings and Flies is a movement from Xing Shen Zhuang Fa. As you can see from the faces of the women, they showed a sense of liberation and flight. It was the conclusion of the seminar in Homonhon Island.
A student is practicing CNT on another student. There was much time for practice. The students were very focused. It was a transformative learning experience. I have never met a group that was so open, happy and serious at the same time.
Teaching CNT internal organs massage to village women in Homonhon Island, East Samar. Homonhon was one of the islands devastated by the typhoon Haiyan/Yolanda. CNT was part of the protocol for treating trauma.
Qi empowerment and linkage is a very important practice at least in the preliminary stage of learning. The student is able to feel the Qi vibration. It is important to transform the frequency of the environment to create the ideal atmosphere for Qi exchange.
Connecting one’s Qi to the energy of this group of women, survivors of the typhoon Haiyan. A part of the healing protocol of the Healing Tao.
