Longevitology (长生学 in Chinese translates to "the study of long life") is one of several healing modalities using energy flow to improve the body's ability to heal itself. Just as a healthy body draws oxygen to the lungs, the body draws in universal energy through neural plexes, called chakras. Each chakra governs a different body system. When the universal energy enters through the chakras into the body, the respective body systems reenergize themselves. For a variety of physical and emotional reasons, a person’s chakras may become partially blocked or inefficient in drawing in or distributing the universal energy. 

During Longevitology classes, Teachers Tzu-Chen Lin and Yu-Feng Wei open the students' chakras to receive the universal energy. Then, we can use our hands to channel the universal energy (which enters through our opened chakras) into our own body (self adjustment) or another person (adjust others).  This process of channeling energy using hands is known as adjustment. Besides learning how to do quiet mediation, students are taught to apply various adjustment techniques to improve their general health or alleviate the conditions of certain health issues or ailments in their body. Not only is this modern day technique easy to learn and use with no side-effects, it benefits both practitioner's and patient's physical body, as well as mentally and spiritually.

Teacher Lin and Teacher Wei have traveled around the world to teach the classes for free, and have mandated that practitioners must adjust people for free as well.

It is important to note that the energy adjustments do not cure or treat any diseases, and are not a substitution for regular medical care. By restoring the energy balance, they may promote the body’s ability to heal itself. Longevitology does not require its students to volunteer, but all longevitology practitioners are volunteers.

The Longevitology Benevolent Foundation Preparatory Committee is a non-profit organization founded in 1993 in Taiwan by Dr. Tom Lin. The corresponding non-profit Longevitology organization in the USA is Longevitology USA which is located in Los Angeles, California.

After an encounter with a form of energy medicine, Dr. Lin recommended the practice to Teacher Tzu-Chen Lin. Through real-life clinical experiences, Teacher Lin has refined the ancient practice, and added new concepts, theories, and methods, including eliminating some original and unnecessary attachments and ideas from the practice. With these drastic modifications, she has brought forth a simpler modern energy adjustment technique known as Longevitology. Not only is this modern day technique easy to learn and use with no side-effects, it benefits both the practitioner's and patient's physical body, as well as mentally and spiritually.

The organization work, including teaching, has been carried out by Teachers Lin and Wei since 1993. They believe that anyone, even the ill or elderly, can use this method to improve their body’s ability to heal itself and help others too.

Longevitology is not a business; nothing is bought or sold. It is not a religion, has no political aspirations, and has no affiliation with any religious, spiritual, educational, government, commercial, medical, or political group in the world.
