Chapter 1: About Tong Ren
-
Introduction
In this brief first lesson, you’ll meet your instructor, Molly. Molly will share about her background, and how a traumatic medical experience with her daughter ultimately led her to discover the Tong Ren community and the power of energy healing.
-
History of Tong Ren
Did you know that Tong Ren was discovered somewhat accidentally? Hear the fascinating story about the development of this energy therapy and learn about its founder, Master Tom Tam.
-
Theories Behind Tong Ren
It might sound strange that tapping an acupuncture model can heal people, but as Master Tom Tam says, “We might be crazy, but we’re not stupid!” In this module, we’ll learn some theories about the energy body and how we can explain powerful healing phenomena with quantum physics.
-
Tong Ren Research
While we have a plethora of anecdotal evidence for the efficacy of Tong Ren, unfortunately research on Tong Ren is limited. In this module we will discuss a large survey study performed at the Dana Farber Cancer Institute that shows incredibly promising and sometimes immediate results of Tong Ren energy healing in a group format. We will also hear some direct stories from people who have experienced powerful results from this technique.

The Points
In this lesson, we get into the meat & potatoes of the Tong Ren practice: the energy points and what they are used for. Molly recommends printing the handouts for this module prior to watching or at least having them open in another browser window for easy access.

Chapter 3: Applying Tong Ren for specific conditions
-
Putting the Points Together
Let’s put points together to tap for specific conditions including cancer, diabetes, and COVID. The more you start to apply the points, the more it solidifies them, so get out your model and hammer and get ready to tap!
-
What's Next?
In this last lesson, Molly will describe some of the newer developments in Tong Ren from the past couple years. These new concepts lead us into the next class, Intermediate Tong Ren (coming soon!). Molly also presents some additional tools and therapies that can complement Tong Ren.

Course FAQ
-
This is a question we will exam in depth in the class, but the short answer is yes! The more we tap, whether for ourselves or others, the more we can release energetic blockages from our own bodies.
-
Technically there is no official certification for Tong Ren, because there is no certifying body for energy work. This allows practitioners of all levels to provide healing for themselves and others. Some Tong Ren teachers do provide certificates, but they create them themselves. If you’d like a certificate, I can create one for you (shoot me an email) but note that it’s not a legitimate document.

I used to offer this class live via Zoom. However, due to the nature of the content being quite dense, it can be a lot of information to take in all at once. The pre-recorded lectures allow students to learn in parts or all at once, and students can take the class at any time. The 30-min follow-up Zoom call included with the pre-recorded class gives students the option to ask questions directly and get clarification. I hope you like the course!
