The practical expression of loving kindness can be traced to
Thailand more than 2,500 years ago from the Vajrayana or the
Diamond Healing lineage of Tibet. It is deeply influenced by
Indian Ayurved and Traditional Chinese medicine.
Thai Massage incorporates elements of mindfulness, gentle
rocking, deep stretching, and rhythmic compression to create
a singular healing experience.
Thai Massage uses assisted yoga Asanas to open the joints
and relieve the tension in surrounding muscles, which allows
prana, chi, or healing energy to move more freely through
the body.
Thai Massage allows the receiver to experience a deepening
into the asana (yoga posture) through a deep and gentle
assistance, opening the joints without the resistance
created when using their own power. The use of gentle
rocking, thumb pressure and rhythmic compression helps the
body to be prepared for the stretches so that the person
feels "invited" to receive the stretch and defense reactions
are not triggered.
Thai Massage is performed on a mat on the floor and the
client wears light, loose-fitting clothing. The session can
last from one hour to three hours or more. The treatment
style is slow, deliberate, gentle, non-invasive, and
suitable for even the most fragile person.
Thai Massage facilitates and promotes a harmonious state of
being. This ancient healing work strives to remove obstacles
on the path toward Promiiwihansii or The Four Divine
States of Mind: Loving Kindness, Vicarious Joy, Compassion,
and Equanimity. It is a great privilege to touch a person
and become a "conduit" for sacred healing energy, and we are
honored to be able to offer this Yoga-based healing to you.
