graduate to the status of teacher.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Level
I - The Foundation Level of Chi Nei
Tsang
At this level,
students learn to recognize, differentiate, and
manipulate the different internal organs and to
understand their function. Upon completion of this
level, students will be proficient in the techniques
required to perform a complete treatment to cleanse,
detoxify, and revitalize the large and small
intestines, respiratory system, liver, gall bladder,
autonomic nervous system, pancreas, stomach, internal
system of mesentery, peritoneum, omentum, and
suspensory ligaments. Benefits derived for clients
from this level of treatment include better digestion,
relief of abdominal pain, regulation of elimination,
relief from chronic headaches, and improvement in rest
and sleep patterns.
Students will learn
the Theory of Taoist Cosmology; the Laws governing
Ying and Yang and the Eight Principles; the Law of
Five Elements; and the difference between healing and
curing.
Students will also
learn the principles of Chi Kung, Bone Breathing,
Taoist Meditation (Inner Smile, Six Healing Sounds and
Microcosmic Orbit Meditation, Bone Packing, and Buddha
Palms). These meditations and Chi Kung are required to
help carry and generate the energy during
treatments.
Upon completion of the
above requirements, a student becomes a certified
practitioner and is awarded a Level I Practitioner
Certificate, which qualifies the individual to provide
treatment at this level to clients.
Required hours to
complete the Level I Practitioner
course:
1. Participate in
two Fundamentals of Chi Nei Tsang 50-hour seminars:
100 hours
2. Chi Nei Tsang
Anatomy Weekend: 15 hours

document 100 case studies: 100 hours

Nei Tsang treatments from a certified practitioner:

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Level II (Intermediate Level)
- Symptoms With a Universal Message
At this level,
students learn to see and work with the internal
patterns of tension and to identify these patterns in
themselves and in their clients. These patterns of
tension normally manifest in the body as misalignments
of the external structure - neck, spine, hips, ankles,
and so on. Students will become proficient with breath
and breathing patterns and become aware of the flow of
the acupuncture meridian system and the movement of
chi, blood, and fluids. Students will learn to
experience and use breath as the "motor" that enables
and regulates metabolic functions, as well as
determining the structure and movement of the body.
Benefits derived for clients from this level
oftreatment include expansion of breathing capacity,
reduction in the level of chronic pain and structural
problems, and better preparation for and recovery from
surgical interventions.
Students will become
skilled in spontaneously using Space and Boundary Chi
Kung to balance their inner and outer physical,
mental, and emotional space. This will help them to
render negative influences harmless and enhance
positive aspects conducive to resolving issues for
themselves and their clients.
Upon completion of the
above requirements, a practitioner becomes a certified
Level II Practitioner and is awarded a Level II
Practitioner Certificate. This certificate qualifies
the student to provide more complete Level II
treatments.
Required hours to
complete the Level II Practitioner
course:
1. Carry forward
260 hours from Fundamentals: 260 hours

50-hour Global Body Attitude seminars (structural):
100 hours

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Level III - Processing
Emotions with Chi Nei Tsang
Students at this level
learn to help their clients release deep-seated
emotional charges safely. They will learn to see the
relationship between the Five Elements and Emotions
and be able to apply the Taoist concept for the
Psychology of Healing, and will gain an understanding
of how the Five Elements and the Psychology of Healing
are interconnected. This understanding will enable
them readily to discern patterns and sites where
clients' emotional charges are held, and to map those
patterns and sites. With this expertise, they will be
able to guide their clients to release these emotional
charges safely and confidently.
Students will further
learn the different kinds of touch ("peace" and
"power") that elicit different healing responses. This
allows them to connect with clients in meaningful ways
to facilitate the feeling of safety while going
through the emotional release process. This level of
mastery and integration of Chi Kung meditation and the
Fusion of the Five Elements meditation lets the
students stay grounded while helping clients go
through the often fearsome process of discharging
their negative emotions and energy - an essential
prerequisite for a successful treatment.
Upon completion of the
above requirements, a practitioner is awarded a Level
III Practitioner Certificate. This certificate
entitles them to provide treatments at the most
advanced level.

complete the Level III Practitioner
course:

Assistant
Teacher & Teacher
Students who have
completed all of the above levels and wish to become a
teacher at the Fundamentals level must demonstrate
mastery of all the required materials presented in
each of the levels. They also must maintain
successfully a practice where they provide regular Chi
Nei Tsang treatments, as well as being able to explain
clearly to their clients what Chi Nei Tsang is and how
it can enhance their life and health level.
Before the student can
become a Level I teacher, he or she must act for a
certain period as an assistant teacher (AT) under the
supervision of a senior teacher (ST).
Assistant teachers may
be asked to assist in organizing, promoting, and
teaching a seminar. They may be called upon to
represent the Chi Nei Tsang Institute in a public
setting (such as health fairs or lectures) to
disseminate information on Chi Nei Tsang.
Assistant teachers are
required to assist in six seminars given by a senior
teacher (two Fundamentals of Chi Nei Tsang, two Global
Body Attitude, and two Emotional Processing) and must
attend one review each of Sexual Chi Kung, Iron Shirt,
and Fusion of the Five Elements.
Before going
totally on their own as Level I teachers of Chi Nei
Tsang, they must plan, organize, and promote a Chi Nei
Tsang Seminar, which Khadro will audit.
