What is Tong Ren
Developed by Tom Tam, and an integral part of the Tom Tam Healing
System, Tong Ren is a form of energy therapy, combining solid Eastern and Western medical knowledge, for restoring health and
vitality. Tong Ren is based on the belief that disease is related to
interruptions or blockages in the body's natural flow of chi, neural
bioelectricity, blood, or hormones. Tong Ren seeks to remove these
blockages, restoring the body's natural ability to heal itself, even
when illnesses 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.
Because no physical contact is involved or necessary, Tong Ren is often
practiced as distance healing.
In a typical therapy session, the Tong Ren practitioner uses a small
human anatomical model as an energetic representation of the patient,
tapping on targeted points on the model with a lightweight magnetic
hammer. The practitioner directs chi to blockage points corresponding
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.
History of Tong Ren
Tong in Chinese means bronze; Ren means man or human. Tong Ren can
be translated as 'bronze man'. In the Sung Dynasty (1023 AD), 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".
Dr. Wang Wei-yi was responsible for designing the acupuncture bronze
man (human figure made by bronze).

In 1027 AD, two identical bronze men
were made, which were named Tong Ren (meaning "bronze man" in Chinese).
Tong Ren Healing is an important component of the Tom Tam healing
system.
To commemorate the Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) pioneers
for their invaluable contribution to the world on the medical front,
"Tong Ren Healing", an energy healing system developed by Tam was named
after the acupuncture figure created by the TCM forerunners.
