About Summer Retreat Workshops

Come and practice at Tao Garden in Chiang Mai (Thailand) and feel the energy of this unique place. You will learn from Grandmaster Mantak Chia face-to-face and you will feel the vibrant energy during his Energy Transmissions that will enhance your spiritual growth. 

Workshops of Weeks 1-3 Retreat are Taoist Fundamentals – the internal work of Taoist practitioners called Inner Alchemy. You will learn how to awaken Healing Energy through the Tao practices: breath work, meditation and energy cultivation practices.

Weeks 4-7 consist of Taoist Healing techniques: Cosmic Healing and Chi Nei Tsang massage technique. It is a Taoist organ detox massage, with a focus on the abdominal area. It blends Chinese and Thai massage and meditation techniques, making it truly different from any other healing modality. This technique is  very powerful, it guides our awareness to our major organs and with a special massage technique releases knots, tangles and tension. This treatment and its many protocols were uniquely developed by Master Mantak Chia.

Schedule

  • — Transform stress into vitality
  • — Balance your emotions
  • — Develop grounding and feel centered

You will learn foundational practices: Inner Smile, Six Healing Sounds, Microcosmic Orbit. It will bring you back to your body wisdom and awaken your Qi/life-force energy.

Inner Smile: Use the power of smiling to activate the relaxation response in the parasympathetic nervous system. Get rid of the negative emotion and rebalance the positive emotion.

Six Healing Sounds practice has a special sound for each of the organs, the special healing color, positive emotion and special position for each sound. These will help you to restore good health and will help with the connection to the primordial force.

Microcosmic Orbit: Opening Qi flow in the energy pathways. It will help draw in more primordial force from the earth through the soles of the feet up to the spine and from the universe through the crown to combine in the lower Tan Tien (abdominal area), the heart and the brain.

Master Chia will do the Energy Transmission during this week. Many students practicing with Master Chia have witnessed the power of Violet Light and Primordial Sound and begun their initial healing.

blank

You will learn how to:

  • — Recycle your sexual energy to increase health & longevity
  • — Improve your quality of life and love-making
  • — Become multi-orgasmic

Sexual energy provides an extremely powerful means for physical rejuvenation and accessing a higher spiritual energy. Master Chia unveils how to recycle your life-essence in order to increase longevity, improve your quality of life and love-making. More sexual energy will help to attract and multiply the primordial Qi.

Men learn how to control ejaculation and to transform the sexual energy into Qi and then transform it up to spirit force. Women learn how to control menstruation and transform the blood into Qi and likewise transform it up to spirit force.

The Single and Dual Cultivation practices in the Aroused & Unaroused State conserve and transform sexual energy while refreshing and rejuvenating the body’s vital functions. Ovarian and Testicle Breathing techniques, Scrotum and Ovarian Compression, Power Lock, Big Draw, and Valley Orgasm enhances sexual fulfillment and physical improvement as vital energy is exchanged with one’s partner with the indiscriminate loss of emotional and sexual energy.

We recommend a prior knowledge of the practices of Week 1 for participating in Week 2.

blank

Fusion means mixing and fusing things to create something new. In our Taoist practices, we combine emotions, natural forces, life forces, etc., into one energy we can use.

Fusion of the Five Elements 1 allows you to control the energy of your inner universe to facilitate the connection with the energy of the Grand Universe. You will learn how to capture negative emotions and merge them. You will then learn how to bring in all the positive emotions and combine everything to create a better energy balance.

We recommend a prior knowledge of the practices of Week 1 for participating in Week 3.

Schedule:
— Week 3 : 18 - 23 July

Week 4 | 25 - 30 July | Cosmic Healing I and Buddha Palm Qigong (Palm and Finger training) +Energy Transmission

blank

You’ll learn how to:

  • — Channel energy to heal the body - on yourself first and then learning how to heal others
  • — Project Qi to detoxify and rejuvenate major organ systems
  • — Root sick energy into the earth and disperse it into the Universe to be decomposed and recycled by the planets

Cosmic Healing I is a practice of channeling pure cosmic Qi for healing. The experience with healing energy can give you a feeling of energetic buoyancy, recharging you with pure Cosmic Qi.

Master Chia will teach how to channel energy for healing the body and through working with a partner, how to heal ourselves and others.

Buddha Palm Qigong consists of four sets of simple postures and movements for absorbing the life force energy of nature and the universe. By practicing this art, you can learn to take color-healing Qi from space into yourself or to direct it from the source straight to others for healing. Each of the four sections develops a different type of energy mastery.

Usually, when we touch the student, we pick up negative energy. Buddha Palm practice will teach you how to ground the negative energy to the earth and disperse it into the Universe to be decomposed and recycled by the planets.

We recommend a prior knowledge of the practices of Week 1 for participating in Week 4.

Schedule:
— Thu 25 July evening introduction
— Fri 26 – Mon 29 July Cosmic Healing and Buddha Palm Qigong (4 days)

Week 5 | 1 - 7 Aug | Chi Nei Tsang I Internal Organ Massage

blank

You’ll learn how to:

  • — Release and clear blockages, toxins, excessive heat and negative emotions deep within
  • — Release long-held stress in the body for optimum vitality
  • — Strengthen the immune system.

Chi Nei Tsang is a Taoist organ detox massage, with a focus on the abdominal area. It’s famous for its exceptional effectiveness and immediate benefits - one of the most powerful treatment modalities available.

It removes physical and emotional blockages to return body systems to healthy functioning. Each organ contains part of the primordial force. When an organ's accumulated negative emotions and toxins are released, the organ can more effectively draw in the primordial force and regenerate itself. These can constrict the flow of Qi, resulting in physical ailments.

Schedule:
— Thu 1 Aug Evening introduction
— Fri 2 – Tue 6 Aug Chi Nei Tsang I (5 days)
— Wed 7 Aug Practice class with instructor

Week 6 | 8 - 14 Aug | Chi Nei Tsang II Chasing the winds.

Massage tools for this week are optional, you can purchase them here.

You’ll learn how to:

  • — Use mechanical and sound vibrations to work on fascial and muscular tissues
  • — Open the body's meridian lines to facilitate the movement of Qi
  • — Give a genital massage to release accumulated toxins, remove congestion and improve blood flow

CNT 3 Toksen is performed with the use of wooden tools that create resonance and vibration for healing. It is a muscle-tendon-meridian massage. Throughout the massage sections in this course you will use the hand techniques (finger presser, twisting & spiraling, hand scooping & wave techniques) used in Chi Nei Tsang I to open up and release the blockages in your body.

Chi Nei Tsang IV is a medical genital massage to improve sexual organ health and overall wellbeing. It reveals that blood and Qi often flow side by side throughout the body. Areas of slow or congested circulation lead to blockages in the flow of vital energy and toxin accumulation in the body.

Massage tools for this week are necessary for practice, you can purchase them here.
