Doing Nothing for the New Year - The Art of Wu Wei

Why is my New Year's article being penciled in during the middle of the month instead of greeting you bright and early on the morning of January 1st, 2010? Why have I let my beard grow out? The answer to these and other questions is that I am practicing the art of Wu Wei - a new years resolution of sorts... And I am writing this to invite you to do the same. Minus the beard of course, which is really just because it's been bitterly cold here in the South....

Here in the United States multiple sclerosis (MS) rates are on the rise, now near 1 in 1000 people. Globally nearly 2.5 million people are effected with MS. Western treatments offer mixed results with regards to symptomatic relief and prevention of further exacerbations. Acupuncture, Chinese medical massage (tuina), and various herbal formulas have been used for years with varying levels of success as well. For better or for worse, MS is a difficult to predict condition where symptoms can wax and wane at will and the range of severity of symptoms is quite broad.

Master Tom Tam and senior students offer multiple training seminars every year. The seminars most often consist of an introduction to the Tom Tam Healing System along with an introduction and hands-on experience with Tong Ren Therapy. Many of the people who come to the seminars are not professional healers, rather they are learning to benefit their family and friends.
