Tong Ren Therapy

Service Description

Tong Ren is an energy healing therapy developed by Tom Tam as an integral part of the Tom Tam Healing System. It is based on methods used back in China in the Sung Dynasty (1023 AD). When Emperor Ren Zhong Sung summoned the highest medical faculty of the Empire to write up the “New Bronze Man’s Points of Acupuncture Diagram and Note” and place these points on a acupuncture bronze man. This modality uses that acupuncture figurine and a small metal hammer. It is based on the premise that illness is related to interruptions, or blockages, in the body’s natural flow of: blood, neural bioelectricity, blood, hormones and chi (life force energy). Most blockages can be manually identified along the spine where they inhibit the activity of the central nervous system. Tong Ren utilizes a universal energy source—the “collective unconscious,” in Jungian terms—to remove a patient’s blockages and restore the body’s natural ability to heal, even when illnesses are chronic, debilitating, or otherwise untreatable. Because no physical contact is involved or necessary - the acupuncture figurine is used, Tong Ren is often practiced as distance healing. In a typical session, the Tong Ren practitioner uses a lightweight, magnetic hammer to tap specific points on a small anatomical model of the human body, which serves as an energetic representation of the patient. The practitioner directs chi to blockage points corresponding to the patient’s condition, which breaks down resistance in those areas. As blood flow, neural transmission, and hormone reception are restored, the body is then able to heal. Tong Ren integrates elements of Medical Science and Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) to create a powerful new healing modality.
