PHILOSOPHY OF THE DEONTHAI™ MASSAGE SCHOOL

We are committed to teaching and guiding our students in the most open-minded and non-dogmatic way.

Whether they choose to call their evolving work Thai Massage, Thai Yoga Therapy, Thai Yoga Massage or Thai Bodywork...

Whether it’s the Southern, Northern, Royal, Commoner, Urban or Rural style...

Whether they have studied in Thailand or in the West...

And most importantly, whether they’ve had any prior training or not

We invite everyone into an all-inclusive community of students and practitioners dedicated to a deeper understanding and wider dissemination of this ancient, sacred healing art, the Nuad Bo Rarn Way of Healing.

The deonThai™ METHOD is based on the belief that blissful wellness (homeostasis) is the natural state of being for all living organisms and that the role of the Healer is that of an effective facilitator, removing blockages and guiding those who desire healing back to their inherent place of WELLBEING.

It requires an ever-deepening understanding and ongoing physical application of the Four Divine States of Being as presented in the Thai (Theravada) Buddhist tradition:

• Loving-Kindness (Metta)
• Compassion (Karuna)
• Equanimity (Upekkha)
• Joy for the Happiness of Others (Mudita)

The sincere practitioner, who learns to work and live by these principles, will be rewarded with a deep sense of harmony in relationships, physical health, mental clarity, spiritual openness and grounded connection to Life.
