Like the Tao of Revitalization, the Tao of Healing Art
adjusts, balances and elevates vital energy. Unlike the
Tao of Revitalization, which is primarily a means for
self-healing, the Tao of Healing Art is utilized for healing
others.
The Tao of Healing Art, also called Tui-Na, is basically
a form of massage that follows the body's energy
pathways, anatomically known as meridians, to regulate
the body's vital functions. By using the sixteen different
handling or manipulating techniques of Tui-Na, one can
also reposition disarranged internal organs. In
conjunction with these techniques, which were designed
to adapt to various parts of the body, appropriate
mediums can also be used. These can be any of the five
fundamental elements: earth, metal, water, wood or fire.
Acupuncture needles (used to channel energy into the
body) and moxibustion are two of the best known metal
and fire mediums in the West. Acupuncture and
moxibustion are derivations of Tui-Na principles and
methods.
