INTRODUCTION:
Traditional Thai massage, or “ Ancient Massage “, can look back at a long history of therapeutic healing.
The legendary founder of the art is believed to have been a doctor from northern India.
Known as Jivaka Kumar Bhaccha, he was a close friend of Buddha and personal physician to the Magdha King Bimbisara over 2500 years ago. He is respected and honoured by many Thais as the “Father of Medicine“ and regarded not as the inspiration for the massage techniques used in Thailand today but also as the source of knowledge about the healing powers of herbs and minerals.The theoretical foundation of Thai massage is based on the concept of invisible energy lines running through the body. This energy lines form a sort of ’second skin’ , a second body in addition to the physical body called Pranamaya Kosha or ‘energy body’, this second body is comprised of maltitude of energy lines, said to be 72,000 and out of this multitude thai massage has selected 10 mainlines on which there are especially important acupressure points.
Massaging these points makes it possible to treat certain diseases or to relieve pain. These points can be thought of as ‘windows’ into the body. These ‘windows’ enable an exchange of cosmic energy through which the human body is maintained in an energy balance with the energy of the universe.
The giving of the massage was understood to be a physical application of Metta , the Pali word used in Theravada Buddhism to denote ‘loving kindness’. Thai yoga massage involves also a lot of stretching and many exercises might be described as a ‘applied Hatha Yoga’.

This is a time when we need to open up more and more to our own guidance, our own wisdom, and our own authority.
Creativity is where we can find this in what we ‘create’ as our own out of the most authentic and even radical part of who we are, that we can also see as the poet in us.
