Chi Nei Tsang^® II - Chasing the Winds

These winds are expelled by balancing the pulses and activating specific combinations of meridian points. Participants learn to assess the pulse pattern, locate stagnant winds using specific meridian points, and apply pumping techniques with the elbows and thumbs to work on and eliminate these energies. The result is improved blood and Qi flow, increased organ vitality, and potential relief from pain, tension and sleep disorder.

The five-level Chi Nei Tsang^® system
The Universal Healing Tao^® System divides the Chi Nei Tsang^®© massage method into five distinct levels:
Chi Nei Tsang^® I – Detoxification of the organs,
Chi Nei Tsang^® II – Chasing the winds,
Chi Nei Tsang^® III – Tok Sen,
Chi Nei Tsang^® IV – Karsai Nei Tsang,
Chi Nei Tsang^® V – Life Pulse Massage.
This workshop covers Level II, which builds directly on the techniques learnt in Level I for loosening tissue and dissolving blockages.

Winds as a cause of illness
Grandmaster Mantak Chia has conducted extensive research into the nature of the body’s pulses and discovered that disturbances in blood flow are caused not only by physical influences but also by winds that penetrate the body from outside. These winds are understood as blocking, circulating energy that spreads throughout the body and manifests itself in a variety of symptoms. Recognising winds as a distinct category of pathology is the key insight that complements Chi Nei Tsang^® II’s approach, moving beyond the purely organ-oriented work of Level I.

The twelve winds and their symptoms
The course focuses on twelve specific winds, each of which is associated with its own characteristic set of symptoms. For each wind, the corresponding pulse qualities and the meridian points to be treated are explained in detail. This systematic classification provides practitioners with a clear and comprehensible framework for identifying which wind is responsible for a particular pattern of complaints or functional disorders, and how to remedy the situation.

Pulse quality and blood circulation
In Chi Nei Tsang^® II, the focus is on optimal blood circulation, achieved through a steady and strong pulse as the body’s driving force. Learning to find the subtle characteristics of the pulse enables the practitioner to assess both the vitality of the circulatory system and the presence of specific winds. This diagnostic skill is essential for targeting treatment precisely where the winds have become lodged.

Pumping techniques using the elbow and thumbs
The manual techniques taught in this workshop focus on correct pumping movements performed using the elbow or thumbs. These movements are designed to penetrate even deep-seated pulses in order to trigger a regular pulsation. The techniques are presented in an accessible and understandable way, so that practitioners can apply them confidently after the workshop.

Localising, Treating and Diverting Winds
The treatment process follows a clear three-stage sequence: first, the stagnant winds are localised through pulse diagnosis and palpation; then they are treated using the pumping techniques; and finally, they are drained from the body. This systematic approach ensures that blockages responsible for symptoms of illness are resolved. The accompanying book ‘Chi Nei Tsang^® II: Pump and Press Sick Winds Away’ is recommended as supplementary reading.

Chi Nei Tsang^® I as a foundation
Participants should already have mastered the techniques of Chi Nei Tsang^® I as a prerequisite for this course. In every Chi Nei Tsang^® II session, the Level I methods are first applied to loosen the tissue and dissolve major blockages before the wind-specific work begins. This preparatory phase creates the necessary openness in the abdominal area so that the more in-depth techniques for expelling the winds can unfold its effect.

Benefits of a successful treatment
A successful Chi Nei Tsang^® II treatment can bring a wide range of benefits: improving the flow of Qi energy in the vital organs, removing blockages in the body’s energy flow, promoting blood and lymph circulation, maintaining vitality, alleviating various types of pain and tension, resolving sleep disorder, and strengthening the immune system. These results reflect the holistic nature of the practice, which addresses the body simultaneously on both the physical and energetic levels.
