|
Nuad Boran, also known as Thai Massage or Traditional Thai Massage or Thai Yoga Massage, is a unique and powerful healing art that has been
an integral part of traditional Thai medicine for thousands of years. So How does it Work? Sometimes described as "a lazy person's yoga", In a unique way, Thai massage blends elements of acupressure, yoga, reflexology, physiotherapy, meditation, energy healing, chiropractic and Ayurveda to open, stimulate and balance the flow of energy through the body. It is usually given on a futon or mat on the floor with the receiver wearing light, comfortable clothes. It is a very holistic therapy in which the human being is seen and treated as an ever-changing network of physical, mental, emotional and spiritual aspects that all influence each other. Its primary aim is to restore and balance the body’s energy system which comprises of a multitude of energy lines that run through the body. These energy lines cannot be seen by most people, but it is possible to feel them. They are part of many Eastern healing traditions.In the West the Chinese acupuncture meridians are the most well-known version. Thai Yoga Massage therapists work on 10 main meridians which run through the body, releasing energy blockages and restoring it's flow to ensure optimum health and well-being. These meridians are called Sip Sen or the ten Sen in Thai. The vital life force that is called Prana in Sanskrit, Chi in Chinese, Ki in Japanese and lom in Thai travels through these meridians, supplying the body with the energy that is necessary for its survival and healthy functioning. The main emphasis in the practice of Thai Yoga Massage is usually on maintaining wellbeing (as all disease manifests first on the energy level and can be treated there before it becomes physical). |
A Little History: Traditional Thai Massage has its roots in the Indian systems of Yoga and Ayurveda. It is believed to have been developed by Jivaka Kumar Baccha, a physician to the Sangha, the order of Buddhist monks and nuns at the time of the Buddha. Around 2000 years ago Thai Massage was brought from India to Thailand along with Buddhism. Since then it has been practised, developed and handed down through the generations. It has never been seen as just massage but as a spiritual practice and until fairly recently usually practised in wats, the Thai Buddhist temples.  Benefits may include the improvement of the circulatory and lymphatic systems, increased flexibility, muscle tone, reduced stiffness and tension, and an overall feeling of relaxation and well being. |
