Tong Ren Therapy
Tong Ren is a form of energy therapy for restoring health and vitality.
This is a new form of therapy that I have recently introduced to my clients at this clinic. I love it as it is totally non-invasive, is showing a lot of promise, ties into my interest in the meridian system and has no side effects whatsoever!
Developed by Tom Tam, a Boston area acupuncturist of 30 years, Tong Ren is a form of energy therapy for restoring health and vitality. Tong Ren is based on a belief that disease is related to interruptions, or blockages, of the body's natural flow of chi, neural bio-electricity, blood or hormones. Tong Ren seeks to remove these blockages, restoring the body's natural ability to heal itself, even when illness are chronic, debilitating or otherwise untreatable.
Tong Ren combines Western knowledge of anatomy and physiology with the ancient principle of "chi", or life-force energy, to create what many consider to be a powerful new healing modality. Drawing on the Jungian Theory of the "collective unconscious", Tong Ren is believed to access energy from this universal source and direct it to the patient (much like Healing Touch). Because no physical contact is involved or necessary, Tong Ren is often practised as distance healing.
In a typical therapy session, the Tong Ren practitioner uses a small human anatomical model (an acupuncture training doll) as an energetic representation of the patient, tapping on targeted points on the model with a light-weight magnetic hammer. The practitioner directs chi to the blockage points according to the patient's condition, breaking down resistance at these points. As blood flow, neural transmission and hormone reception are restored, the body is then able to heal.
A Healing Session: What you may experience in a session
- Energy boost and revitalization
- Calmness and clarity - better focus, less anxiety and daily stress
- Increased metabolism - which might result in weight loss as toxins flush from your system
- A chance for your body to heal - releasing the blockages that cause chronic disease, pain or critical illness lets this happen.
- Relax - do nothing - just receive
- Get out of your head - sense and feel
- Let go of expectations
- Be open to the process
- Rest after the session and drink water
I treat my clients with Tong Ren as a part of their regular sessions but am willing to work with someone one on one here or over the phone.
