About Chi...

Chi is a natural energy source that is constantly flowing all around us. Some people call it the "universal life force." Within our bodies, chi is equivalent to bioelectricity, which is essential for maintaining the healthy nerve impulses that are required for nourishing cells so that they can sustain and repair themselves.

Chi is a fluid force. Like water, it can be diverted to where it’s needed, to be more beneficial to our well-being. Like water or air, chi also cycles endlessly from one phase to the next. Obstructing the cycle affects everything that depends on it. Like the ecosystem of a forest, a decline in any of the species affects the whole system. Chi management is very important within your body, hence the popularity of such practices as Tai Chi.

Ensuring effective chi flow can mean the difference between health and illness. For example, the science of acupuncture uses needles to stimulate and balance the flow of chi to restore normal energetic balance.

All of the selections on our website involve chi adjustments of various types. We believe that good health and good Feng Shui are truly "all about chi"!

About Tong Ren Healing


What is Tong Ren?

Tong Ren is an alternative healing technique based on the theory that blockages in the body’s energy flow can cause pain or illness. Removing these blockages restores the natural flow of chi, allowing the body to naturally correct itself. Chi is equivalent to bioelectricity, which is the energy that runs your body.


The Tong Ren therapy system was developed by Tom Tam, a prominent Boston area acupuncturist and healer. The system is based on Tom’s clinical practice and research, and utilizes both Western and Eastern medical thought. Tom has a large following of people with serious illnesses who have experienced positive results from using his system.

How Does Tong Ren Work?

Tong Ren uses the acupuncture meridians to channel chi and remove blockages in your energy system… it’s actually a kind of acupuncture without needles. The practitioner uses an acupuncture model, called a tong ren (Chinese for “bronze man,” because the original models were made out of bronze instead of plastic) as a reference point for channeling the chi. There are no known negative side effects, and you can learn to use the technique yourself. Working with an experienced healer can produce amazing results in a short time.

What is Tong Ren NOT?

Tong Ren is not psychotherapy. It is not a spiritual practice, it is not related to any organized religion, and it does not require you to subscribe to any particular belief system in order to derive benefit from it. It does not involve hypnosis or any sort of mind control. There is no physical contact—or even close proximity—required between you and the healer. Tong Ren is not a cure, nor does it produce miracles. It’s simply a technique that you can use to end your suffering and get on with your life!

What is a Tong Ren Session Like?

During the first session, you will provide information about your condition, including what benefits you hope to gain. We also discuss how to recognize improvement. Most sessions are half an hour in length. It is very important to observe the follow-up rest period—half an hour in length—after a session, to allow the chi to run. Many people find that this is a good time to take a nap! During the session, you are required to do nothing other than sit in a relaxed position. Although you can talk during a session, it is probably more beneficial to remain aware of the sensations in your body.

What Does Tong Ren Feel Like?

At first, most people report that they feel warmth or heat on their face. This sensation typically moves down from the head to the arms, and then to the palms of the hands. Some feel tingling in their hands or feet, like being filled with warm ginger ale. Some people feel their bodies becoming lighter; others feel their bodies becoming heavier to the point that they cannot move. Sometimes, people cry in an emotional release. Afterwards, they feel very relieved.

Some people report feeling tired the day after the first few sessions. When the body is healing, brain waves may drop down to let the body focus on this process. Clearing blockages also releases toxins that were previously held within the body. It’s a good idea to drink plenty of water before and after a session.

What Results Will I Experience?

Most people report feeling more relaxed and energetic. Others report that their pain eases or their functioning improves. Because everyone is different, each person experiences results in their own way.

Is Tong Ren a Cure?

A "cure" is a method or course of medical treatment used to restore health. It implies that the source of health is outside of you.  

"Healing," on the other hand, taps into the body's unique ability to restore itself to health. In order to be successful, a therapeutic change must take place. Chi Wiz techniques are alternative healing modalities that use energy from the universal life force (chi). The healer serves as a catalyst to facilitate this process.
