Chi Neï Tsang Massage Initiation

The mound of Chi Neï Tsang

a journey into touch, voice and sonic realms imagined by Luo and Ana

Berlin, Moabit, Healix Haus, 16th of august 11am-6pm

6h initiation to Taoist abdominal massage

The practice is based on _subtle movement getting in touch with our inner realms _moving further into waves and circles which can have a certain intensity _and then deeper pressure points combined to breathwork.

We will explore ways to touch, to sense into the skin, flesh and organs, into breath (abdominal and thoracic) letting come and go, into resistance, into slower paces to adapt to the persons needs under our hands, attuning to feedback loops.

The massage is based on a protocol of gestures, the core of the practice are adaptations to the present moment and subtle changes under our hands.

We will massage in turns.

You can imagine a river where the stream carries mud which over times settles on the ground, it stays there because the stream is moving in the same direction.

Your own breathing, deeper than usual, or more focused on the lower abdomen generates with the symbiosis of the partners hands waves which awaken these forgotten particles, emotions to drift to the surface. To be embraced with kindness and care.

Chi Nei Tsang massages open a space for expression, deep listening in both ways.

Drinking water afterwards the massage is like taking in the floods carrying with them the old assets.

This massage is usually done with changes of seasons or more regularly to reset or support digestive issues and emotional processes.

You can come alone or with someone you feel aligned to practice with.

The space is hold by Anaa and Luo

Anaa :

somatic practitioner massage therapist Chi Neï Tsang Deep tissue and relaxing massage Somatic touch and tuning forks buto dancer researcher

I wander between collective initiated practices and immersive spaces, visual arts, liquid environments, underwater filming, voices, recordings, listenings, readings, hummings, territories, body practices, clay visions, my hands holding herbs and seeds, my skin remembers being touched by the ground, I generate, I enter/invite to those liminal spaces and realms may they be on site or set up, lasting twilights, thresholds, performed and danced

Luo:

A spirit unbound, any pronouns, moving on a pace on their own, aligned to the forces of the universe. swaying along the fluttering wind, wings of a drum carried in their hands,

creatrix of spontaneous songs called in on my lips,

I weave my voice into the vibrant fabric of the earth,

the ground, the beings on the way as buzzing bees become my chorus, as I face their golden hive and spin ancient overtone singing into the wild breeze.
