Introduction
This is a 2-day workshop to teach introductory Tong Ren Tui Na stimulation technique to open the blockage. According to Tom Tam Healing System, stimulating the blockages along the central nervous system and spine will restore bio electrical signals in the body and change the biochemistry. Stimulation can be done in different forms: Tong Ren Tui-Na is one of them. This course will provide the initial steps to do hands-on training to help family and friends in need. We will also learn other stimulation techniques: Pa-Kwa (cupping), Gua-Sha (to scrape away), heat, Acustone™ (developed by Mónica Calvo based on Tom Tam Healing System). We’ll continue with hands-on practice.
