Developed by Tom Tam, as an integral part of the Tom Tam Healing System, Tong Ren is a form of mind-body energy healing therapy for restoring health and vitality. Tong Ren is based on a 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 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. Distance Healing Sessions Distance Healing Sessions are an opportunity to address any healing challenges & diagnosis of all stages. This is a no touch approach to offer the patient a powerful mind/body healing experience. We take into account all of your major health concerns and then systematically address these issues. Each time we are using anatomy & physiology and science as the blue print for our work. It is a modern approach to harness the power of our collective unconscious mind for the purpose of generating a healing outcome. These sessions can be done by phone.

Reflexologists is based on the principle that these reflex points correspond to specific body organs and systems, and that pressure on these points creates real benefits for the person's health. For example, reflexology holds that a specific spot in the arch of the foot corresponds to the bladder. A Reflexologist may use thumbs or fingers to apply appropriate pressure to this area to improve bladder functioning. Reflexologists use foot maps to guide their work. The left foot corresponds to the organs found on the left side of the body and the right foot to the organs on the right side. Reflexology is a stand alone treatment preformed by a certified reflexologist. https://collectivehealingcenter.com/workshops daily 0.75 2020-07-28 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5db0ba951e97ec23648b243a/1588874097956-PABUQXHCHG58463OCFFM/DSC_0169.jpg Workshops - **Registration Has Closed Please Enter Your E-Mail Below for Info About Upcoming Events** Tong Ren Basics Live Stream This is an opportunity to find support in your practice of Tong Ren Healing at any level of experience.

Distance Acupuncture is a modality allowing us to treat patients who are not physically in our presence by phone or by video telehealth.. This approach utilizes multiple modalities, including acupuncture, traditional chinese medical theory, Tong Ren therapy, medical qi gong and intuitive guidance. We begin with setting an appointment involving a short intake of medical problems, and thus creating healing goals. In that first appointment we will begin treatment. We invite you to set aside 30 mins with additional time ( roughly 20 +mins) after each appointment for rest and integration of the healing. During the Distance Acupuncture session, we invited you to sit or lay down in a comfortable environment as you would in our clinic. This way you can be aware of any sensations you may feel in your body. The Acupuncturist will begin by scanning the patient’s body and energy systems and then place the invisible needles for healing. Once the healing is complete the patient and acupuncturist will discuss the treatment, course of action recommended, and check in to see how the patient has responded to the treatment. During a Distance Acupuncture Treatment, Acupuncturists will use either an acupuncture doll, a sketch of the patient, or use themselves as a proxy. The Acupuncturist may incorporate the use of additional modalities such as tuning forks, sound or biowave devices, crystals, Tong Ren or Medical Qigong to direct the energy to transform the imbalances and areas of stagnant energy. Acupuncturists may also utilize Moxibustion to help tonify, strengthen, and calm the client. With Distance Acupuncture the focus is on transforming blocks in the energy system. Distance Acupuncture is a mind body modality which is not limited to time and space. You may experience latent healing effects days after your appointment as you would with an in person acupuncture appointment. Does Distance Acupuncture Work? Yes, Distance Acupuncture Works! For hundreds of years, Distance Healing has been practiced in the East and more recently in the West. More and more research is recognizing that we are all joined through a connection of oneness. This connection allows for Distance Acupuncture to be transmitted over long distances. I have noticed over the years that my clients sometimes respond instantaneously, but some respond with a delay or no sensation at all. But even at that, the improvements come. They are often more relaxed, discomforts relieved, an improvement in aches and pains, mental clarity, and more, just as it would in an in-person acupuncture session. Fee: $75 - $150 per appointment Self pay only. No Insurance accepted for these appointments.
