DESCRIPTION
The deonThai™ METHOD of Thai Yoga Therapy is a radically relaxing and deeply revitalizing form of energy-balancing bodywork, uniquely blending assisted Yoga stretches and Traditional Thai Massage techniques into a blissfully integrated experience. Guaranteed to harmonize body, mind and spirit and help anyone to feel better from the inside out.
Results typically include the deep release of energetic blockages in the body and mind, as well as improved spinal alignment, better physical balance, improved joint mobility and increased flexibility. Clients that receive regular treatments also report enhanced mental clarity, deeper sleep, greater endurance and more enjoyment for sports, work and play.
Treatments are performed with the client comfortably dressed on a special mat on the floor. Typically, the practitioner will use most of his body, including feet, knees, forearms (and hands) to weave together a sophisticated sequence of deeply healing stretches, rhythmic acupressure and gentle rocking moves.
This way of working is characteristic of the Northern, Hill Tribe or Villager Style, rather than the Southern or Royal Style that uses the forearms, hands and thumbs almost exclusively.
The client’s body is physically assisted and supported by the practitioner at all times. Sessions are individually tailored to accommodate specific needs and to benefit all, regardless of age, gender, health, levels of strength, flexibility or physical fitness.
This type of bodywork is done with very close client/therapist interaction and is therefore, when done correctly, suitable for body types of all ages, be they male, female, pregnant, healthy and fit, or tired and drained. The practice is always tailored to suit the individual and personal needs of the client.
“NUAD PHAEN BO RARN” or Ancient Way of Healing with the Hands as it is known in Thailand, is said to have begun its evolution in India, more than two thousand years ago by Shivago Komarpaj, a contemporary of the Buddha Gautama Siddhartha, who is revered, to this day as The Father Doctor of Traditional Thai Medicine.
TRADITIONAL THAI MASSAGE is seen as a practical application of the Buddhist principle of Metta or loving- kindness, forming the cornerstone of a quietly effective healing of body, mind and soul. Elements of Yoga and Ayurveda from India are combined with universal energy healing principles, to harmonize and balance the flow of energy throughout the body. It is performed with the client comfortably clothed on a special mat on the floor and treatments usually last for at least two hours, but can run as long as 5 hours or more.
THAI YOGA THERAPY consists of a series of interactive, flowing movements, stretches and rhythmic massage, along all the body’s energy lines and pressure points. The often deeply meditative experience can result in a profound release from mental and physical stress. The practice can be quite stimulating when performed vigorously, causing the same after-exercise, blissed-out feeling of a good Yoga class. Or, it can be done gently, in a more soothing manner, depending on the restorative needs or mood of the client.
THERAPY PHILOSOPHY
Our most important guiding principle is the belief that “Wellness” is the natural state of being for everyone - and that the real power of any healer is purely in their ability to facilitate and assist the one who needs to be healed into a vibration that allows that healing to flow from within — from the Source of Grace that is inside the one who desires the healing.
Feeling better or feeling worse is the working of our Inner Guidance System, indicating whether we are moving closer to optimum wellbeing or moving further away ... And that’s how we know how it’s going ... in the session or in Life.
The better we can make someone feel in their body, whatever their current situation and circumstances, the better their chances of succeeding in their endeavors - across the board: in love, in health, in prosperity, in community ... whatever.
THE FEELING
Do you remember
When it felt so good to experience your body?
When you were really feeling it
From the inside … outwards …
When your thoughts were about running, jumping and diving
And when you went to sleep,
That delicious exhaustion
After a long day’s play…
And as you stretch out under the covers, the last thought …
About the rest of a glorious summer lying ahead,
Still waiting to be experienced …
As you blissfully float away,
Quietly anticipating the adventure of tomorrow …
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Come … let’s remember.
