These programs include the practice of Japanese Tea Ceremony, and flower arranging.   The third activity is the practice of a traditional Japanese healing art called “Purifying Therapy (PT). This energy healing method is offered under the supervision of doctors and other health professionals. It is designed to help strengthen the body’s natural healing processes, and the kidney’s purifying function to eliminate toxins (“Toward the Creation of a New Medicine-Purification”, MOA Foundation, 2008).
