Weekend Skills Training
Attend any 3 day weekend Chi Nei Tsang (CNT) 1 training and learn the basic first round of CNT. This initial sequence and the techniques contained within, can take the student very far in the practice of abdominal regulation. For many, simply incorporating some of these methods into their current sessions is just the right enhancement.

Upon completion of these requirements and passing of the final test, one can apply to be certified within the Universal Healing Tao as a CNT Level 1 practitioner.

The year long trainings include weekends in Chinese medical and astrological theory and practice, qi gong, meditation, energy training and hands-on treatments for specific organ and energy systems.
