As most Westerners now know, Tao means “the Way” in Chinese and the practice of Taoism, and while it’s not a religion, Tao is a spiritual practice of observing, listening to, and experiencing the energy (qi) of life. At The Tao Movement, we practice the Tao of Healing Art, which is based in the ancient massage and qi energy movement practices of Tui-Na first written down in the time of the Yellow Emperor, about 2500 years ago. Tui-Na most literally means “push” and “rub” (or “grasp”), but has a deeper meaning of pushing away abnormality and removing abnormality or blockages to restore balance to the flow of qi. Traditionally, Tui-Na practitioners use acupressure and massage techniques to achieve beneficial results. In China, Tui-Na practice is a department in every hospital and is used daily to treat a myriad of health concerns.
For us, healing via Tui-Na is not just a practice, but is an intuitive gift of kindness that we intuitively provide for our patients – we bring the Universal gifts of wisdom and kindness to all of our therapeutic sessions. Combined with the specific techniques that we use to heal, and restore balance and energy flow, our gift to our clients is our love of Tao.
