This is a 1-day workshop to teach introductory Tong Ren Tui Na stimulation technique to open the blockage. According to Tom Tam Healing System, stimulating the blocked areas will restore bioelectrical 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 review and reinforce the topics on Tui Na taught in Part 1, and we will learn other stimulation techniques: Pa-Kwa (cupping), Gua-Sha (to scrape away), heat, Acustone™ (developed by Mónica Calvo based on Tom Tam Healing System) … and we will continue with hands-on practice.
