Tui Na Massage Therapy: Is Tui Na the Right Choice for You?

In the province of Shaolin in the People's Republic of China, there is a tiny town in the mountains called Tui Na. 강북출장 There are a few structures in the town, and it looks more like an unpolished village of logging. I've always observed Tui Na to be extremely tranquil and peaceful. My friendly vibe is due to the fact that I learned Tai Na from a master who lived there and did it every day.

I was introduced to tui na from a master called Wang Xian, who also trained at home. He had many books about the practice, and also gave me his library so that I could peruse the books. I also learned that there are several theories of the study of tui na. I learned that seven meridians have a connection and that the human body corresponds with these meridians.

In reading the books I've read I learned that the seven meridians are called Chi, Qi, Blood bones, teeth joints and Materia. My research has revealed that practitioners of na use various massage techniques to treat meridians. I also learned that traditional Chinese medical practice believes there are some twenty-four vital points on the body which are linked to one another and responsible for the body's organs as well as tissues. Each organ and tissues are believed be linked to a particular area. The twelve meridians are believed to run parallel to the chi within the body. In the course of a tui-na-massage or other forms of massage, some practitioners may employ the symbol of the twelve meridians.

Tui Na therapy began to gain popularity in the West in the late 1980s, when the Chinese government and the United States government began promoting it as a healing technique. Television shows featuring Chinese herbalists were promoting the practice as an alternative therapy. This popularity increased. I was able to watch one such show that featured two women who received the Tui Na massage after working a hard day. The relaxation the women felt and the positive feedback from personnel at the salon was both intriguing to me.

A couple of years after, I was invited to attend a highly-respected acupuncturist's Massage school. When I attended I was shown how to give an Tui Na massage and explained that he would do the treatment on anyone that came into his shop. I was fascinated by this gentle man who was totally natural and didn't appear like someone who could perform Acupuncture. He explained that his patients were taught to use their loose hands in order that they could apply direct pressure on the acupoints without being dependent on their fingers. Before meeting other practitioners who were using the Tui Na system I was asked to do one or two sessions.

My experience with Tui Na was amazing. When I had one of my first treatments, I experienced as I was experiencing a sudden shift in my life that had transformed for the better. I felt lighter, more energetic and alert. My treatment made me feel more energized and my Chi was flowing freely through my body. Although my skin is still sensitive, I was happy with my overall experience of Tui Na treatment.

Since then, I've come to know Tui Na as well as the fundamental philosophy that inspired its founding. The oldest theory of Tui Na is that the universe consists of energy which exists in three separate types: Jing, Qi and Shen. Jing is the softest of all three and is able to be easily altered by our minds, bodies and souls. Tui Na practitioners believe Qi to be the strongest type of Qi and the main power that controls the universe. And Shen, the dark energy, regulates the interactions between Jing, Qi and Shen and is the cause of all evil.

Tui Na believes that any one of these three energies may cause harm and ruin the connection between them, and consequently bring about the downfall of our physical existence. Thus, all three these energies must be controlled by a qualified practitioner. This is where a certified Tui Na massage therapist can help. Only these professionals are skilled enough to safely and properly manipulate the three energies to alter lives. That's why I suggest you look for a Tui Na practitioner who integrates both Eastern and Western medical practices into his work. This practitioner can help you achieve the health and wellness you want.
