Thai Massage:

How is it performed?

Vedic Thai Massage-Assisted Yoga is traditionally performed on a large comfortable cotton futon floor mat which gives the receiver both comfort and full-body support. Working on the floor also allows the therapist to move freely around and above the client, making for effective use of the therapist’s bodyweight and mechanics. The therapist can also work with the receiver in a variety of positions, including prone, supine, side-lying, and seated.

In a Vedic Thai Massage-Assisted Yoga session you will wear loose-fitting or stretchy clothing that allows your body to move.No oils are needed. The techniques used work far beneath the surface of the body, effecting the deeper layers of the muscles and skeleton.

Treatments are routinely modified to include sensitivities addressing acute and chronic conditions, including: herniated disks, subluxations, muscle strain, joint replacements, surgeries, and pregnancy.

The Thai-Yoga Therapist doesn’t just use the power of their hands and fingers. They use their hands, their fingers, their palms, arms, knees, and feet, along with the reciever’s body weight and their resistance to provide a deeply moving experience. The Thai-Yoga Therapist enters into a meditative awareness adapting every asana stretch and technique to the client’s exact need, whether soft or strong.

Nuad Boran: What is is?

No better words than those of my teacher Mukti Buck:

 

According to AyurVeda, at any moment, the spirit-soul is represented by 5 bodies, each body encapsulated within the previous more original and radiant body. These bodies are referred to as Koshas in AyurVedic Medicine. (We can Google the word Kosha for further description.)
Mostly however, the delights and dramas of the physical and mental koshas have trapped our awareness, relentlessly prohibiting the experience and nurturing of the other spiritual dimensions. We want and need the influx of the other koshas in order to have self-revelation.
The physical kosha is represented by the mysteriously-alluring intervention of our 5 senses (sight, sound, touch, taste, smell). The mind, being the master juggler of these 5 energies, provides orientation and relativity for the soul.
Each of the koshas are connected to the preceding kosha by an interfacing pranic occurrence such as a wheel (chakra) or a sphere (marma). Sacred channels (nadis), described as careening rivers of rainbow light, are also constituents of this anatomy and also function on all 5 koshas.
One of the primary objectives of Nuad Borarn, Vedic Thai-Yoga Massage, is to detect obstructions and interferences within the interfacing channels and vortices so as to ultimately liberate the region and allow consciousness to flow and radiate freely.
When emancipated consciousness flows and radiates, attuning itself to primordial spirit, then we are experiencing the information and life of the other koshas. We are experiencing our self truly and purely, a most desirable satisfaction which subsequently inspires us to welcome personal evolution, growth and healing.
So . . .What are these chakras, bio-vortices, marmas and nadis congested with? In Sanskrit the term is Anarthaswhich means ‘unwanted undesirables’.
Thai-Yoga Body Art addresses these reservoirs of dormant vitality and releases them of doubts, fears, angers, sorrows, resignations, ignorance and pain (artificial control) and any one of the other 2700 negative and unresourceful emotions and feelings circulating within our bio-sphere.
Thai Massage truly opens and sanctifies these congested and retarded longings thus releasing perhaps decades of thwarted intentions and unfulfilled expectations so that we can continue returning towards our spiritual home, the paradise of transcendent pleasure, perpetual peace and perfection. Hence the emotional weeping and joy that frequents our art’s session.
Thank you for your considerations.
