"Gilles Marin is an incredibly good teacher, his workshops gave me big insights and many techniques to work with. He teaches CNT in a very profound way and a workshop with him will be the best step on your way to become a Chi Nei Tsang practitioner! 100% recommended!"

"Healing is contagious and possible through touch' - Thank you Gilles, for your contagious curiosity, your poet's generous heart, your astronomer's spirit of investigation and wonder. Loving you my brother."

"Gilles is an excellent instructor and makes potentially complex knowledge into embodied experiences that are less remembered and moreso installed into your being. I’ve taken two online classes so far and look forward to attending some in-person experiences soon!"

"Chi Nei Tsang/TaoTouch is the finest, most powerful healing modality in the world, period. Gilles Marin of the Chi Nei Tsang Institute and TaoTouch, has remarkably taken it to a whole new level. In my opinion, he is by far the best, THE NUMBER ONE MASTER practitioner/teacher of Chi Nei Tsang in the world. Chi Nei Tsang in itself is so powerful that indigenous peoples, Hawaiians, have told me 'This is the abdominal work we have lost'.  

 

In my personal experience of the world of healing- healing schools, books, trainings, including the best and most famous- plus ancient wisdom shamanism, nothing comes close to the power of Gilles’ hands-on sessions, writings and teachings. 

 

Beyond even that, I believe Gilles has taken it to a whole new level, a truly life changing and world changing level. In addition, he is a delightfully inspiring human being."

"I've been studying with Gilles for almost 15 years and it has been some of the most profoundly life changing work that I've done for myself and for my community. I would recommend the classes to anyone!"

"Gilles is the real deal! He is the most approachable, open and kind Tao Teacher/Master I’ve come across so far. He is so down to earth and full of wisdom and shares this wisdom in such an easy manner, people might underestimate what he teaches. But as the saying goes: Making it look easy is the hardest part! … and Gilles has this wonderful effortlessness in his teaching that just makes him such a joy to listen to and learn from.

 

Ever watched Maradona play soccer? … that‘s how Gilles teaches his Chi Nei Tsang and Tao knowledge. So if you‘ve got the chance to participate in one of his classes, workshops or Zoom session. Go for it!! As my own Tao Teacher said about Mantak Chia: The great thing about Master Chia is that every time you participate in one of his workshops, there is always something new that you learn… the same can be said about Gilles. What a wonderful teacher and kind human being!!"

"Excellent course, very clear teaching, easy to understand. Lots of hand-on learning. Great learning environment... Can’t say enough good things about the experience, highly recommended!"

"Everyone took such good care of us - making sure we got to the retreat, feeding us, enabling us to have a play day, making sure we were comfortable! The information was, as always, inspiring. It was great to be tucked away and have the whole lodge to ourselves. Good to be in nature, albeit domesticated nature. But so much better than a city or a hotel! I appreciated not having to worry about food or cleaning up."

​

- Donna C.

 

 

"Gilles has a personal approach to Chi nei Tsang. For my part, he succeeded in adapting it to westerners that we are. Even with my limited English, I share his point of view. Chi has no language. I listen, I participate and above all I focus more on my feelings.

Thanks to your method, Gilles, I manage to overcome difficult moments in my life, to grow in emotional maturity and above all to change. Healing comes from within, his classes are proof of that to me. Despite the language barrier which in fact is a big advantage. The feeling takes over the mind.
 

Thank you, I recommend Gilles to you without any hesitation for all those who want a change from the inside. Thanks to David too. See you soon!"

"Thank you, Gilles, for figuring out and setting out a logical ordering structure of our minds and widening my perspective, necessary for opening our potential for getting back into contact with our individual and collective sources of inner knowledge and wisdom. Great work!

"This class has changed my life. I feel safe and secure inside for the first time I can remember. I feel FUSION! Much appreciation to you for a life well-lived, Gilles Marin."

 

- Lisa Hamilton, Biology of Consciousness Online Classes, Spring 2020

​

 

"I am so grateful for these classes. I am sleeping and dreaming more than ever in my life. It is creating a deeply satisfying feeling in me. There is a kind of buzz or purring that is emanating from me. I especially am enjoying my new understanding of the Metal element. It always seemed to just be cold, sharp, and shiny to me. But now I see it as brilliantly radiating and what makes life beautiful. Quite inspiring."

 

- Karen M., Fusion online class, March 2021

​

​

"I am so incredibly thankful for Gilles' teachings and enjoy reading all of his books, regularly. I read books on Taoism and healing regularly and Gilles' experience and input on the matter is immensely helpful to validate and deepen my understanding of all of the material that I come across. There are no words to describe my gratitude for Gilles' work."

"I am very grateful to be in your online classes. I have experienced much healing and growth since I joined a few sessions ago. It is helping me to integrate a whole lot and to get back on track to be joyful and doing  more of what leads me to my purpose."

My friend just wrote to me that drinking the organic fermented Noni Juice which you recommended saved him from his life-threatening problem. He hasn’t needed any more blood transfusions, which he received for six months. He is feeling stronger and I’m sure he will write to you soon.

 

You have such a vast knowledge, intuition and insight. Take good care of yourself so that we will have you around for a long time!

​

️- Love, Monika

​

Dear Gilles,

 

Your tip to drink fermented Noni Juice to regulate the hemoglobin value has very likely saved my life!

 

The doctors searched in vain for a cause and treatment for five months without result.

 

I thank you from the bottom of my heart.

"This school changes lives! I am certain that my path is forever changed in very important ways due to this very important training."

- Gabrielle Z.

​

​

"I first came upon Chi Nei Tsang and Gilles Marin at the turn of the century, quite literally. My life has been forever changed and I am grateful for the wisdom healing practices Gilles brings to Taoism and to the community. I had a Tai Chi practice previous to meeting Gilles, but quite honestly, Chi Nei Tsang put me on a trajectory with Qigong which continues to inform my journey in this life every day. It is a true blessing!"

 

- Maureen Davison

 

 

"I am continuing to feel the benefits from the workshop... the lightness and being happy like I haven't in a couple of years. Thanks to you and all that attended the class."

I would like to let you know that I very much appreciate your newly written book, Biology of Consciousness. [Editor note: Still in progress]. It is extremely helpful and is having a profound affect on my life.

 

Also taking the Chi Kung online classes, including the Fusion meditation, has been very beneficial.

 

Tuning into the 5 element consciousness and differentiating between the 5 intelligences within myself

and then acting from my earth center has helped me gain more peace, clarity and equilibrium. This practice has had more affect on me than anything else I’ve tried to learn and do, so I thank you for sharing this knowledge.

 

I feel I’m more in tune with my inner self, thus being able to feel more prominently what is and would be

the best choice for me regardless of someone else’s opposing views or opinions. 

 

I am indeed making better decisions for myself and so can see a better future 

Unfolding before me based on those decisions. For the most part I am feeling better and absolutely have way more self control.

"I woke up this morning feeling quite refreshed and inspired after the weekend anatomy course. It was by far my favorite class of Gilles so far! It could have been the timing for me but this class really brought things together in a whole new way--my mind is blown!"

​

- Lindsay W.

 

​

"I loved it and learned a lot!  Looking forward to expanding awareness through this amazing stream of practical wisdom!"

​

​

 

"I have been a student and assistant to Gilles on and off for 18 years. My life has changed through this work and I have become a better person. Working on the viscera is profound and puts you in touch with part of yourself that sometimes we lose touch with. I recommend it to everyone and anyone. It helps one on a spiritual, emotional and physical level.

​

I can honestly say that Gilles is one of the best teachers I have ever experienced and Tiffiny is incredible too.

This is a small school that has been run by mostly students for over 25 years. The core, classes, products and Gilles teachings make it special. Check it out!"

​

- Aurora B.

​

 

"I recommend Gilles very enthusiastically!  Before I first saw Gilles, another person (who, like Gilles, is a student of Mantak Chia) told me that Gilles has surpassed even Master Chia. I found treatment by Gilles uniquely, unbelievably astonishing.  

 

I then took a class Gilles taught. Gilles is a superb teacher with profound wisdom, mastery, and heart; I loved the class and very much look forward to more! Gilles is the real deal."

​

- Coyote S.

 

​

"I've been studying with Gilles and The Chi Nei Tsang Institute for over 10 years. I'm happy to say that through this work, my life has dramatically transformed and I can't imagine where I would be without it. I am deeply grateful for the experiences  and community it has put me in touch with globally as well as locally.
 

Most importantly, I am grateful for the way that it's helped me to make changes in my inner world. The practices that I've learned through contact with The Chi Nei Tsang institute have helped me maintain and continue those changes as well as helped me help others to do the same. Wholeheartedly recommend!"

​

- David H.

​

​

"Chi Nei Tsang opened avenues for healing and insight I had not imagined existed. I had a surgery when I was 21 that left a six inch scar on the left side of my abdomen and resulted in, first, sciatic pain, and, later, a twist in my pelvis that had a "global body attitude."

 

My first session with Gilles had such a profound impact that I began training, intuiting that this was the way forward. The healing perspective and visceral energetic component feed into everything I do.

 

The community of practitioners around CNT is strong, especially in the California area. My advice to people on the training course is to constantly return to the fundamentals and to build community--sharing trades as often as possible-- as you build a personal practice and personal capacity. Very best to all on the journey."

 

- Geoff K.

 

​

"My experience with Gilles and Chi Nei Tsang has been life-changing! Powerful work by a powerful healing master. After several decades of personal growth, psychology, spiritual inquiry, I am now finally getting to the root issues through this amazing work. And I am feeling so empowered in the process. Can't recommend this highly enough!"

"Attending the Advanced CNT class has immensely deepened my ability to help clients with their healing. I now have what feels like an intrinsic understanding of how to bring people into their healing field using my presence, touch and, less importantly, my words.

I’m grateful for the elegant way Gilles taught that felt like a spiral that became deeper and richer throughout the four days. By the end of the workshop, after listening to Gilles, playing with qigong and practicing on the table, I walked away even more excited to practice CNT. Each component of the class complemented the other. I can’t wait to take the advanced class again next year for even more depth."

 

- Kelly A.

 

 

"Gilles, Thank you for your teaching at the Advanced Practitioners’ workshop last week. I learned so much! Each advanced workshop helps me to get to a deeper level in my understanding of Chi Nei Tsang. Now the sessions I am giving are more effective and deeper and I am more in touch than before. The opportunity to learn with other practitioners gives me the experience and feedback that I need to keep growing as a practitioner. It’s so easy to level off with what I know. 

 

Our workshop was much more than a review. You helped me to gain a deeper understanding of the essence and foundation of Chi Nei Tsang. Moment by moment I felt more connected and responsive to each person I worked on.  My experience of receiving CNT from other practitioners, the detailed directions you gave, and the questions and feedback sessions:  all are coming together for me. I feel transformed!"

 

- Karen P.

 

​

"This is a great form of massage. The classes and style are fantastic for anyone interested in healing work and bodywork. They also have outstanding practitioners for people who just want to receive the work. Gilles is of course magic (and the big name here to see). Who knew that having your belly rubbed could be so powerful!"
