Namaste and Welcome to Thai Yoga Metta
For me the practice of Traditional Thai Massage is not just another form or bodywork. It is a unique blend of Yoga, Ayurvedic and Buddhist knowledge and traditions which has a great lively component of Spirit. Thai Massage is a spiritual practice of the healing arts where the practitioner brings a lively meditative presence and ‘Metta’ (loving kindness) into action while using ancient techniques of unblocking & enlivening the energy body. The recipients gain the best of both worlds while doing nothing, experiencing the benefits of both meditation and supercharged yoga while resting comfortably. I hope you will come try it out.
What is Thai Yoga Massage?
Traditional Thai Massage is a ancient, unique, energy-body work that can be deep, dreamy, and relaxing while releasing blocked energy and leaving the recipient in a more aware and energetically fluid state. Thai Massage utilizes a flowing sequence of rhythmic rocking motion, compression, pressure along energy lines (Sen) using palms, fingers, feet, elbows and knees, assisted yoga stretches, joint rotation, breathing, a meditative state and loving kindness (metta). Thai Massage is received fully-clothed, on a mat on the floor, wearing comfortable yoga-like clothing.
What should I expect during my session?
In Traditional Thai Massage the body is slowly and smoothly moved and compressed to relieve tension, release restrictions, and tonify the body inside and out. Relaxed, deep breathing is emphasized and helps create a calm, peaceful state of mind-body. While Thai Massage is a more rigorous workout for your body than a table massage, Thai Massage is meant to be therapeutic, not strenuous or painful. An open line of communication is maintained to ensure your comfort and safety throughout the Thai Massage session. The goal of Traditional Thai Massage is to open the energy-body up, while respecting physical body limits. The effect is uniquely relaxing as well as energizing.
Thai Yoga Massage appeals to a wide range of people because it encourages them to let go of restrictions and go beyond their present limitations. It’s beneficial for all ages, flexibility and activity levels. While each person will respond to Thai Massage in relation to their own experience and present state of health, it is well to remember that Thai Yoga Massage has been used for countless generations to counter degenerative forces and promote wellness.
What are the Origins of Thai Yoga Massage?
Thai Yoga Massage is Traditional Thai Massage or nuad phaen bo rarn,as it is called in Thailand. That translates as ‘Ancient Massage’. It’s origin is attributed to an Indian Ayurvedic physician, Jivaka Kumar Bhaccha, who was a friend and contemporary of Buddha and the physician of the Sangha of Buddhist Monks and nuns. It has more than 2500 years of history of therapeutic healing. For most of it’s history Thai Massage was only practiced and taught in the Buddhist temple or wat and was considered a spiritual practice. Giving a Thai Massage was a practical application of Metta, the Pali and Thai word from Theravada Buddhism denoting “loving kindness”. In Traditional Thai Massage, the practitioner gives the massage while maintaining a meditative state with full awareness and mindfulness. In this state the practitioner is able to develop intuition of the energy flow in the body and of the prana lines and to treat people according to their needs.
