Typically used as a form of distance healing, Tong Ren techniques are applied to an acupuncture doll as a focusing tool utilizing the collective unconscious. The Tong Ren practitioner will focus his intention on the physical locations on the doll which correspond with the same locations on the recipient's body needing treatment. Focus is placed wherever chi is disconnected or blocked. The doll serves as a surrogate for the person receiving treatment. Various types of tools are utilized to tap, poke, or otherwise stimulate imbalances. These intentional actions stimulate the body and help to restore balance and vitality to the recipient.
