The Theory of Tong Ren Therapy God In religion we have faith healing. This theory is the belief in The Theory of Tong Ren Therapy God. Many people laugh at and deny faith healing. These people have closed minds; but if they do some research, there can be no denial. Maybe the healing rate is low. Maybe their philosophy For any healing system, there has to be a supporting theory, cannot be agreed upon and accepted. However, the truth is that no matter where the theory comes from or whether it makes sense. faith healing works; scorn cannot stop people from using this The theory of the collective unconscious is the basis for Tong Ren approach. In fact, since the beginning of human history each nation Therapy. Without proof all theories are merely conjecture. Proof and religion has had its own methods for healing. Religious and may be found in research or empirical data. Tong Ren has not been mystical healing has its own way to bring energy to heal patients. proven by any expert research. This type of research involves No matter what people name the energy, I believe it is the same. financial support, political support, development of modern This is similar to Chi Gong healing. There is a name and technique science, and case studies by a qualified practitioner. The proof for for each style of Chi Gong to describe more or less the same thing. all of my theories is only through the experience and results of my Tong Ren healing is not affiliated with any religion, nor patients and myself. Of course I have no doubt that Tong Ren should it be viewed as a mystery. My belief in Tong Ren healing is Therapy works. No one can deny the work we have done or the associated with the philosophy of the collective unconscious and results we have achieved or argue about it. the power of the mind. Many people accept the idea that there is an With everything we have done, people like to know the unconscious and that the mind is powerful. These philosophical theory behind the truth and its philosophy. Yet, many things are views can be found in many books. When a group comes together still a puzzle. As with much of Western healing theories, no one to form a collective unconscious, as in healing meditation, this can be sure why they work. For example, how many billions of collective mind can become healing power. A leader is required for dollars have been spent on cancer research and yet, has anyone this type of healing power. When we form a group with a found out why cancer occurs? We know so little from this collective unconscious mind, we need a, just as a computer needs a extensive quest, but we still use the "Big Three" treatments -- font to show a letter on a monitor. surgery, chemotherapy and radiation -- to kill the cancer cells. In Tong Ren Therapy we use a regular plastic acupuncture Their effectiveness has been disappointing, but we look ahead with model to form the healing image. The acupuncture model becomes hope. In my practice, it is easy to reduce the suffering in some an energetic representation of the patient's body. By placing the cancer cases with Chi Gong and Tong Ren Therapy. Yet, some tell needles in the appropriate spots on the model and connecting the me that if they do not understand the theory of Chi Gong and Tong mind with our collective unconscious, the practitioner can give a Ren healing, they would rather die, and they refuse to try my patient a treatment. A connection between the therapist and the healing modality. This is very surprising to me. I can tell them patient is formed. This connection can be modified by the honestly that I do not know the true theory of Chi Gong and Tong energetic representation of the acupuncture model. Just as light Ren healing, but I do know the method and I have the ability to shining through a slide will display an image, the Chi directed to relieve the symptoms. In some cases, the tumor immediately the patient is modified by the image of the acupuncture model with disappears or becomes smaller. Interestingly, most cancer patients needles inserted at specific points. The pattern of needles and the are not knowledgeable about chemotherapy, but they are willing to points selected are the same as the acupuncturist would use if try it because they have faith in Western medicine. Ask a doctor or inserting the needles into the patient's body. Both inserting needles someone who already received chemotherapy treatments one in the model and in the patient's body are means to balance the simple question: who developed chemotherapy originally? patient's Chi. The difference, of course, is that when the model is used the patient can be treated over long distance. This is similar to some Japanese acupuncture methods in which the needle is just the more this modality is practiced, the more potent it becomes. touched to the skin but not inserted. Because Chi and the collective This is in accord with the Buddhist understanding of mental (mind) unconscious are not limited by space; the only thing is to establish imprinting because all ideas are collected in the subconscious and a connection. The healing power is not from the acupuncture become more powerful with the passage of time. Furthermore, model--it is from our mind, and this mind transforms into a healing Buddhist theory states that all things manifest in our environment force. This healing energy we call Chi. In the human body, Chi has because of the imprints we have created in our subconscious mind. its own way to circulate. We must regulate the Chi and make it run Therefore, we could say Tong Ren healing is possible because we on its track. This is the same theory that a Chi Gong master uses to have planted seeds in our subconscious and created a prior make Chi circulate in a patient's body. manifestation. Moreover, Buddhist and other Eastern systems There are more than a thousand different Chi Gong healing believe that all manifestations come from the mind, and within this systems in China. For each system, there are a certain way and understanding, we can acknowledge that the body itself can be certain techniques in the use of Chi for healing purposes. In Tong healed if we create the imprint for the healing to happen in the Ren healing, we have our own techniques. The points used on the subconscious mind. (In these systems,)according to this belief, the model are mostly on the meridians of TCM. We choose the points body is the mind at a lower vibration frequency. The body is a for Tong Ren treatments from the Tom Tam Healing System, creation or projection of the mind. which is based on TCM and results from my new research. When When we form a collective unconscious intent and force, and we practice Tong Ren healing, we must follow a standardized translate it towards a healing power, this power has the highest method. In the future when more people repeatedly use this same quality. When we put people into the Chi Gong state, the Chi method, it will become more powerful. In this way our collective automatically knows how to balance the Chi in the body. Our mind unconscious intent and experience continuously increases the cannot change the healing path of the Chi. strength of Tong Ren Therapy. In my practice, I can clearly affirm There is a famous research story in the Western world called that the more I practice Tong Ren, the easier it becomes to see The Hundredth Monkey. Scientists studied the behavior of positive healing results. monkeys inhabiting a group of islands. One day a monkey on one The purpose of this healing modality is to help balance one's island was spotted going to the ocean to clean mud off a piece of Chi circulation. This balance is good for anyone and does not food. This was the first time the scientists had observed such cause any harm. If anyone ever tries to use this technique to harm behavior. Their excitement increased when scientists from the next someone, it will not work. To harm someone is not a part of the island reported that the monkeys on their island had begun to adopt philosophy of Tong Ren Therapy. It is neither a part of our the same action. Although there was no contact between the two collective unconscious intent. If any of the practitioners try to harm groups of monkeys, in a short time, both groups had developed the someone with Tong Ren, they will end up harming themselves. A same behavior, a transfer of knowledge without direct contact. One healer is one who tries to help someone heal. Hurting people is could speculate that this was mere coincidence, yet it would seem against the healer's consciousness. When someone wants to learn more likely that this was a tangible example of a collective Tong Ren healing, they must purify the mind towards helping the unconscious at work. I believe that in learning the best thing is, sick and hopeless heal. "Monkey see, monkey do." Now it seems even if they do not see, From the point of view of karmic theory, we could say that if they can do. patients believe in the efficacy of Tong Ren, they are collectively Perhaps as more people practice Tong Ren, eventually Tong creating a karmic field or mental (mind) imprint for this approach Ren will be practiced in the whole world.

Addressing these limitations, we built an electronic device, named eBowl, which can mimic the acoustics of Tibetan bowls, and beyond that, can produce a wide range of other sounds. Furthermore, it can be used for relaxation and sound massage without the need for a second person. The eBowl generates auditory beats that are in EEG alpha frequency range, which can cause brainwave entrainment and lead to relaxation. User tests measuring Figure 1.

    LARGE SCALE SOUND INSTALLATION DESIGN: PSYCHOACOUSTIC STIMULATION An Interactive Qualifying Project Report submitted to the Faculty of the WORCESTER POLYTECHNIC INSTITUTE in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the Degree of Bachelor of Science by Taylor H. Andrews, CS 2012 Mark E. Hayden, ECE 2012 Date: 16 December 2010 Professor Frederick W. Bianchi, Advisor Abstract The brain performs a vast amount of processing to translate the raw frequency content of incoming acoustic stimuli into the perceptual equivalent. Psychoacoustic processing can result in pitches and beats being “heard” that do not physically exist in the medium. These psychoac- oustic effects were researched and then applied in a large scale sound design. The constructed installations and acoustic stimuli were designed specifically to combat sensory atrophy by exer- cising and reinforcing the listeners’ perceptual skills. i Table of Contents Abstract ............................................................................................................................................ i Table of Contents ............................................................................................................................ ii Table of Figures ............................................................................................................................. iii Table of Tables .............................................................................................................................. iv Chapter 1: Introduction .................................................................................................................

  • Brainwave Entrainment a Guide on All You Need to Know
    Brainwave Entrainment A guide on all you need to know 1. The Science behind Brainwave Entrainment 2. What Are Brainwaves 3. Why Are Brainwaves Important 4. What Is Brainwave Entrainment 5. Brainwave Entrainment with Audio 6. Brainwave Entrainment History & Significant Studies 7. Practical Brainwave Entrainment 8. How to Get Started with Brainwave Entrainment 9. Research & Further Reading www.dermaspa.co.za 1. The Science behind Brainwave Entrainment can be explained quickly and easily. To begin, let's start by understanding what "brainwaves" are. We all experience different states of mind each day: states such as sleep, focus, or creativity, for example. Every state of mind has a unique electrical signature that can be detected in the brain. These signatures are known as “brainwaves.” Using specialized equipment, these waves (or frequencies) can be measured and recorded, allowing us to map what brainwaves are present during certain key states of mind. "Brainwave Entrainment" is the process of (typically) using audio and/or visual stimulation to actually change brainwave patterns. By changing your brainwave patterns, you can actually recreate certain states of mind - again, such as sleep, focus or creativity. Usually, this works by listening to a particular brainwave pattern (a specific pulsed frequency, encoded in audio). The brain then follows (entrains) to that pattern, and as a result, changes your state of mind. Quick example: Brainwave readings (with an EEG machine) have shown that brainwaves of 2Hz occur when an individual is asleep. Scientists can create special audio recordings, which contain an encoded 2Hz frequency. While listening to such audio, the brain naturally follows (entrains) toward that 2Hz frequency, lowering its brainwave patterns.

Open-Loop Neurofeedback Audiovisual Stimulation: A Pilot Study of Its Potential for Sleep Induction in Older Adults Abstract This pilot study tested the efficacy of a 30-min audio-visual stimulation (AVS) program for the treatment of chronic insomnia in older adults. Chronic insomnia has been conceptualized as entailing increased cortical high frequency EEG activity at sleep onset and during NREM sleep. We hypothesized that an AVS program gradually descending from 8 to 1 Hz would potentially reduce the excessive cortical activation that is thought to contribute to difficulties with initiating and maintaining sleep.

Forty- six adults who had sight loss significant enough to require the use of a long cane for mobility purposes participated in the study. Participants were between the ages of 18 – 70 years. The study design was a within-subjects, repeated measures design with two levels for the independent variable of the metronome (uncued versus cued) and two levels for the independent variable of tempo (normal walk versus fast walk). Dependent variables of cadence (steps per minute), velocity (meters per minute), and stride length (cadence ÷ (velocity ⁄ 2)) were recorded. Within-subjects repeated measures statistical analyses identified a main effect for the independent variable of the metronome; subsequent analysis revealed that the metronome had a significant effect on the dependent variable of cadence. iii The presence of a rhythmic cue seemed to improve observational gait parameters for many of the study participants.

  • Brain.Fm's Science
    Brain.fm’s Science FAQ Compiled by Adam Hewett (co-founder of Brain.fm) and Dr. Benjamin Morillon (Aix-Marseille Université) Does Brain.fm have any peer- reviewed papers published? Brain.fm is currently in the process of scientifically validating its concepts, but no study is currently published. In collaboration with Dr. Psyche Loui from Wesleyan University (USA) and Dr. Benjamin Morillon from Aix-Marseille University (France), Brain.fm is currently investigating the impact of its music at both the behavioral and neurophysiological level – thanks to Electroencephalography (EEG) and functional MRI (fMRI). Some pilot data can be found at: www.brain.fm What is the definition of ‘Dynamic Attending Theory’ (DAT)? The dynamic attending theory was developed by Dr. Mari Riess Jones1,2. The idea is that during perception attention is modulated dynamically to optimize sensory processing at expected points in time. Crucially, this framework capitalizes on the fact that many stimuli and actions are rhythmically organized (e.g. speech, music, walking, among others). By extracting such temporal regularities, the brain is able to predict the occurrence of subsequent events of interest and optimize their processing3. In other words, attending itself is an oscillatory process that entrains to environmental rhythms, thus improving perceptual discriminative performance4. How exactly does DAT work from a neurological perspective? Neuronal (or oscillatory, brainwave) entrainment is the likely physiological substrate, ​ ​ mechanism, by which DAT operates. Neuronal oscillations correspond to regular variations of electric activity in the brain. They regulate the occurrence of action potentials, hence the communication between neurons. Neuronal oscillations have an important role in brain operations to the extent that understanding of neuronal oscillation ‘rhythms’ now seems to be 5 essential to our understanding of brain function .​ ​ When a temporal regularity is present in the environment, neuronal oscillations can synchronize (i.e.

    FEATURES The Science of Energy Therapies and Contemplative Practice A Conceptual Review and the Application of Zero Balancing ■ Sallie Stoltz Denner, MSN, CCIT, CZB, CRNA The topic of energy therapies is prompted by the increasing attention of healthcare practitioners and consumers to Eastern philosophies and ancient healing practices. This article includes a conceptual framework of quantum physics principles providing the basis of interpretation of energetic phenomena, along with the exploration of theoretical concepts involving energy as a communicational network. An overview of the contemplative tradition of meditation indicates its necessity as a requisite element of energy therapies, the practice combining a knowledge base of the core scientific precepts with the experience of restorative strategies. The relevance of energy therapies as a path to self-transcendence along with the application of a specific touch technique, Zero Balancing, is highlighted.
