I remember eagerly anticipating trying Thai massage for the first time. An Israeli friend advised me not to go to massage ladies on the beach, suggesting that if I sought a true massage, I should look for an old medicine man walking with a stick. "Where can I find him?" I asked. "Actually nowhere," he replied. "He walks around the Sunset beach from time to time, and if you are lucky enough, you will stumble upon him, and you can ask for a treatment. He is doing something different than the ladies on the beach; I think it’s Shiatsu."</p><div dir="auto" style="text-align: start;"><span style="font-family: arial; text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #374151; font-family: Söhne, ui-sans-serif, system-ui, -apple-system, "Segoe UI", Roboto, Ubuntu, Cantarell, "Noto Sans", sans-serif, "Helvetica Neue", Arial, "Apple Color Emoji", "Segoe UI Emoji", "Segoe UI Symbol", "Noto Color Emoji"; font-size: 16px; text-align: left; white-space-collapse: preserve;">A few days later, I was fortunate enough to come across the man and receive a treatment. I remember he didn’t stretch my body much; instead, he checked my pulses, plucked my nerves, blew, did a lot of kneading and acupressure - overall, what he was doing was very different from the beach massage. Unfortunately, he didn’t know a word of English, and I didn’t know a word of Thai, so all we had was a smile. The treatment remained a strong memory, and it took me the next 17 years of learning, studying, and researching Thai massage to solve the puzzle and finally realize that he wasn’t practicing Shiatsu but genuine Thai massage, which is quite different from the commercial one and not easy to find. He was in his 70s back then, so I doubt he’s still with us today, but the memory of him is close to my heart, and I am very grateful for this blessing directly from the sky.</span> </span><img alt="❤" height="16" referrerpolicy="origin-when-cross-origin" src="https://static.xx.fbcdn.net/images/emoji.php/v9/t6c/1/16/2764.png" style="border: 0px; font-family: arial; text-align: justify;" width="16" /></div><div class="kvgmc6g5 cxmmr5t8 oygrvhab hcukyx3x c1et5uql ii04i59q" style="background-color: white; color: #050505; margin: 0px; overflow-wrap: break-word; white-space: pre-wrap;"></div><div class="o9v6fnle cxmmr5t8 oygrvhab hcukyx3x c1et5uql ii04i59q" style="background-color: white; color: #050505; margin: 0.5em 0px 0px; overflow-wrap: break-word; white-space: pre-wrap;"><div dir="auto" style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div></div><p></p><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div> <p></p>Danko Lara Radichttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06823281121590770797noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-659242006277211979.post-65404638895664151152020-06-25T10:11:00.006-07:002023-12-10T03:47:22.026-08:00Khwan (ขวัญ)<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

The term is very difficult to translate, with numerous meanings, deeply rooted in Thai culture, especially in the North and Northeast of Thailand. It is extremely challenging for an outsider to grasp this phenomenon, as even in Thailand, it is understood in many different and complex ways. Khwan resides in humans, animals (e.g., elephants, horses), and in some inanimate objects (e.g., rice, houses). Commonly, it is perceived either from a Buddhist or non-Buddhist, tribal perspective. From a Buddhist perspective, it is perceived as the "pinnacle of willpower/spirit/will." From a tribal perspective, it is more likely perceived as "morale/spirit/vital principle of life/entity."</p><p style="--tw-border-spacing-x: 0; --tw-border-spacing-y: 0; --tw-ring-color: rgba(69,89,164,.5); --tw-ring-offset-color: #fff; --tw-ring-offset-shadow: 0 0 transparent; --tw-ring-offset-width: 0px; --tw-ring-shadow: 0 0 transparent; --tw-rotate: 0; --tw-scale-x: 1; --tw-scale-y: 1; --tw-scroll-snap-strictness: proximity; --tw-shadow-colored: 0 0 transparent; --tw-shadow: 0 0 transparent; --tw-skew-x: 0; --tw-skew-y: 0; --tw-translate-x: 0; --tw-translate-y: 0; border: 0px solid rgb(217, 217, 227); box-sizing: border-box; color: #374151; font-family: Söhne, ui-sans-serif, system-ui, -apple-system, "Segoe UI", Roboto, Ubuntu, Cantarell, "Noto Sans", sans-serif, "Helvetica Neue", Arial, "Apple Color Emoji", "Segoe UI Emoji", "Segoe UI Symbol", "Noto Color Emoji"; font-size: 16px; margin: 1.25em 0px;">When we refer to Khwan in the context of the human condition, we look at the 32 Khwans, each corresponding to one of the 32 organs of the physical body and responsible for the function of that organ. However, the 32 Khwans are usually considered as one Khwan, that of a particular person. In Northern Thailand, illness is often interpreted as the dislodging of Khwan.</p><p style="--tw-border-spacing-x: 0; --tw-border-spacing-y: 0; --tw-ring-color: rgba(69,89,164,.5); --tw-ring-offset-color: #fff; --tw-ring-offset-shadow: 0 0 transparent; --tw-ring-offset-width: 0px; --tw-ring-shadow: 0 0 transparent; --tw-rotate: 0; --tw-scale-x: 1; --tw-scale-y: 1; --tw-scroll-snap-strictness: proximity; --tw-shadow-colored: 0 0 transparent; --tw-shadow: 0 0 transparent; --tw-skew-x: 0; --tw-skew-y: 0; --tw-translate-x: 0; --tw-translate-y: 0; border: 0px solid rgb(217, 217, 227); box-sizing: border-box; color: #374151; font-family: Söhne, ui-sans-serif, system-ui, -apple-system, "Segoe UI", Roboto, Ubuntu, Cantarell, "Noto Sans", sans-serif, "Helvetica Neue", Arial, "Apple Color Emoji", "Segoe UI Emoji", "Segoe UI Symbol", "Noto Color Emoji"; font-size: 16px; margin: 1.25em 0px;">When the Khwan is strong, stable, and in its proper place, the person is in good health, called "krop samsipsong" (ครบสามสิบสอง) – "complete thirty-two." However, when one experiences intense emotions, such as fear, pain, sadness, anxiety, sickness, loss, or sudden shock or accident, the Khwan can run away (khwan nee ขวัญหนี), become lost (khwan haai ขวัญหาย), or become weak (khwan awn ขวัญอ่อน). It can also be caught by various malevolent spirits or damaged by black magic. All of this can result in illness, calamity, or even death.</p><p style="--tw-border-spacing-x: 0; --tw-border-spacing-y: 0; --tw-ring-color: rgba(69,89,164,.5); --tw-ring-offset-color: #fff; --tw-ring-offset-shadow: 0 0 transparent; --tw-ring-offset-width: 0px; --tw-ring-shadow: 0 0 transparent; --tw-rotate: 0; --tw-scale-x: 1; --tw-scale-y: 1; --tw-scroll-snap-strictness: proximity; --tw-shadow-colored: 0 0 transparent; --tw-shadow: 0 0 transparent; --tw-skew-x: 0; --tw-skew-y: 0; --tw-translate-x: 0; --tw-translate-y: 0; border: 0px solid rgb(217, 217, 227); box-sizing: border-box; color: #374151; font-family: Söhne, ui-sans-serif, system-ui, -apple-system, "Segoe UI", Roboto, Ubuntu, Cantarell, "Noto Sans", sans-serif, "Helvetica Neue", Arial, "Apple Color Emoji", "Segoe UI Emoji", "Segoe UI Symbol", "Noto Color Emoji"; font-size: 16px; margin: 1.25em 0px;">In places where tribal tradition is still prevalent, like in the Yang Luang village in Mae Chaem district in Northern Thailand, Khwan is seen more as an entity or spirit and is part of local ancestral practices: a fetus and a baby are not thought of as a person until the Khwan is completely settled in the body. There is no precise time when the Khwan fully resides in the womb. The baby’s Khwan does not contain any part of the mother’s or father’s Khwan. Instead, the child’s Khwan is the reincarnated spirit of the ancestor by matrilineage (lineage of the mother). The ancestor’s "outside-the-body spirit" Phii (ผี) transforms into the child’s "inside-the-body spirit" Khwan (ขวัญ). It is believed that the child inherits the basic characteristics of the ancestor; however, affected by various experiences during lifetime, the child grows and matures into a new person. When the person dies and his/her Khwan leaves the body, it then transforms back to "outside-the-body spirit," or Phii, and joins the ancestors until the next incarnation. This is the eternal cycle of rebirth, which emphasizes the permanence of the spirit over the temporary nature of the physical body.</p><p style="--tw-border-spacing-x: 0; --tw-border-spacing-y: 0; --tw-ring-color: rgba(69,89,164,.5); --tw-ring-offset-color: #fff; --tw-ring-offset-shadow: 0 0 transparent; --tw-ring-offset-width: 0px; --tw-ring-shadow: 0 0 transparent; --tw-rotate: 0; --tw-scale-x: 1; --tw-scale-y: 1; --tw-scroll-snap-strictness: proximity; --tw-shadow-colored: 0 0 transparent; --tw-shadow: 0 0 transparent; --tw-skew-x: 0; --tw-skew-y: 0; --tw-translate-x: 0; --tw-translate-y: 0; border: 0px solid rgb(217, 217, 227); box-sizing: border-box; color: #374151; font-family: Söhne, ui-sans-serif, system-ui, -apple-system, "Segoe UI", Roboto, Ubuntu, Cantarell, "Noto Sans", sans-serif, "Helvetica Neue", Arial, "Apple Color Emoji", "Segoe UI Emoji", "Segoe UI Symbol", "Noto Color Emoji"; font-size: 16px; margin: 1.25em 0px;">During pregnancy, Khwan can enter and leave the womb freely at all times, and even after birth, the vulnerable stage is not yet over. Khwan can leave the baby, and another Khwan can replace it. For this reason, it is not recommended to massage a woman in early pregnancy, as this can disturb the residing Khwan. Children generally have weaker Khwan in the same way their Elements are still weak and immature, so they are more sensitive and prone to illness. They are believed to exist both in the spiritual and the physical world. For this reason, in Thailand, it is a taboo to touch the heads of small children, as it can disturb their Khwan.</p><p style="--tw-border-spacing-x: 0; --tw-border-spacing-y: 0; --tw-ring-color: rgba(69,89,164,.5); --tw-ring-offset-color: #fff; --tw-ring-offset-shadow: 0 0 transparent; --tw-ring-offset-width: 0px; --tw-ring-shadow: 0 0 transparent; --tw-rotate: 0; --tw-scale-x: 1; --tw-scale-y: 1; --tw-scroll-snap-strictness: proximity; --tw-shadow-colored: 0 0 transparent; --tw-shadow: 0 0 transparent; --tw-skew-x: 0; --tw-skew-y: 0; --tw-translate-x: 0; --tw-translate-y: 0; border: 0px solid rgb(217, 217, 227); box-sizing: border-box; color: #374151; font-family: Söhne, ui-sans-serif, system-ui, -apple-system, "Segoe UI", Roboto, Ubuntu, Cantarell, "Noto Sans", sans-serif, "Helvetica Neue", Arial, "Apple Color Emoji", "Segoe UI Emoji", "Segoe UI Symbol", "Noto Color Emoji"; font-size: 16px; margin: 1.25em 0px;">As one grows older, both Khwan and the Elements become stronger; one experiences good health and is fully involved in the physical world. In old age, the Elements become overused, and the Khwan weaker, making old people more prone to illness again. Similar to children, they reside in both the physical and spiritual worlds, this time gradually moving in the opposite direction, from physical to spiritual.</p><p style="--tw-border-spacing-x: 0; --tw-border-spacing-y: 0; --tw-ring-color: rgba(69,89,164,.5); --tw-ring-offset-color: #fff; --tw-ring-offset-shadow: 0 0 transparent; --tw-ring-offset-width: 0px; --tw-ring-shadow: 0 0 transparent; --tw-rotate: 0; --tw-scale-x: 1; --tw-scale-y: 1; --tw-scroll-snap-strictness: proximity; --tw-shadow-colored: 0 0 transparent; --tw-shadow: 0 0 transparent; --tw-skew-x: 0; --tw-skew-y: 0; --tw-translate-x: 0; --tw-translate-y: 0; border: 0px solid rgb(217, 217, 227); box-sizing: border-box; color: #374151; font-family: Söhne, ui-sans-serif, system-ui, -apple-system, "Segoe UI", Roboto, Ubuntu, Cantarell, "Noto Sans", sans-serif, "Helvetica Neue", Arial, "Apple Color Emoji", "Segoe UI Emoji", "Segoe UI Symbol", "Noto Color Emoji"; font-size: 16px; margin: 1.25em 0px;">Different ceremonies are carried out to affect the status of the Khwan. For example, after the baby is born or before a person goes on a long journey or faces a risky or unpredictable situation, a ceremony called Phuuk khwan (ผูกขวัญ) is performed. In such cases, special offerings are prepared, an appropriate incantation is performed, and a holy thread (สายสิญจน์ - Saaisin) is tied around the wrist to "bind the Khwan to the body and prevent it from deserting it." There are also Tham Khwan (ทำขวัญ) and Reeak Khwan (เรียกขวัญ) ceremonies performed to "make, strengthen, and reinsure the Khwan," Bamrung Khwan (บำรุงขวัญ) ritual to "encourage and make the Khwan well and brave," Rab Khwan (รับขวัญ) ritual to "call the Khwan back to the body," and Kawng Khwan (ของขวัญ) ritual, which is performed after the Tham Khwan ritual and gives offerings to Khwan.</p><p style="--tw-border-spacing-x: 0; --tw-border-spacing-y: 0; --tw-ring-color: rgba(69,89,164,.5); --tw-ring-offset-color: #fff; --tw-ring-offset-shadow: 0 0 transparent; --tw-ring-offset-width: 0px; --tw-ring-shadow: 0 0 transparent; --tw-rotate: 0; --tw-scale-x: 1; --tw-scale-y: 1; --tw-scroll-snap-strictness: proximity; --tw-shadow-colored: 0 0 transparent; --tw-shadow: 0 0 transparent; --tw-skew-x: 0; --tw-skew-y: 0; --tw-translate-x: 0; --tw-translate-y: 0; border: 0px solid rgb(217, 217, 227); box-sizing: border-box; color: #374151; font-family: Söhne, ui-sans-serif, system-ui, -apple-system, "Segoe UI", Roboto, Ubuntu, Cantarell, "Noto Sans", sans-serif, "Helvetica Neue", Arial, "Apple Color Emoji", "Segoe UI Emoji", "Segoe UI Symbol", "Noto Color Emoji"; font-size: 16px; margin: 1.25em 0px 0px;">Additionally, Khwan ceremonies are performed on any occasion that can cause mental instability, such as returning home after a long absence, a wedding, ordination into monkhood, change of status or residence, welcoming guests, etc., to restore the psychological balance of a person and reconnect him/her with the family, society, and divine forces.</p></div></div></div></div></div>

It is exclusive to women as holders of this tradition. This knowledge and these skills are usually transmitted from mother to daughter throughout a lifetime. In the West, these women are usually known as "Doula" – someone who assists in the delivery of a child. However, a midwife in Thailand is much more than a midwife in the West. She is a doctor of Traditional Medicine. These are the women who provide medical, psychological, and emotional support to other women in one of the most difficult and challenging experiences a woman can go through – giving new life. Midwives are there from the moment of conception, throughout pregnancy, childbirth, and postpartum recovery. Literally, they are healers and caregivers helping human beings come into this world.</p><p style="--tw-border-spacing-x: 0; --tw-border-spacing-y: 0; --tw-ring-color: rgba(69,89,164,.5); --tw-ring-offset-color: #fff; --tw-ring-offset-shadow: 0 0 transparent; --tw-ring-offset-width: 0px; --tw-ring-shadow: 0 0 transparent; --tw-rotate: 0; --tw-scale-x: 1; --tw-scale-y: 1; --tw-scroll-snap-strictness: proximity; --tw-shadow-colored: 0 0 transparent; --tw-shadow: 0 0 transparent; --tw-skew-x: 0; --tw-skew-y: 0; --tw-translate-x: 0; --tw-translate-y: 0; border: 0px solid rgb(217, 217, 227); box-sizing: border-box; color: #374151; font-family: Söhne, ui-sans-serif, system-ui, -apple-system, "Segoe UI", Roboto, Ubuntu, Cantarell, "Noto Sans", sans-serif, "Helvetica Neue", Arial, "Apple Color Emoji", "Segoe UI Emoji", "Segoe UI Symbol", "Noto Color Emoji"; font-size: 16px; margin: 1.25em 0px; text-align: start; white-space-collapse: preserve;">If we look at the vast scope of Thai medical knowledge, midwives are probably the ones who have to encompass the most of it. First, they have to administer complete prenatal care – providing proper dietary instructions to the mother according to her constitution and condition, observing the baby's growth, knowing how to move the baby in the womb, how to treat the mother if she catches a disease, and how to prepare different kinds of herbal remedies, as well as giving massages in the middle and late pregnancy.</p><p style="--tw-border-spacing-x: 0; --tw-border-spacing-y: 0; --tw-ring-color: rgba(69,89,164,.5); --tw-ring-offset-color: #fff; --tw-ring-offset-shadow: 0 0 transparent; --tw-ring-offset-width: 0px; --tw-ring-shadow: 0 0 transparent; --tw-rotate: 0; --tw-scale-x: 1; --tw-scale-y: 1; --tw-scroll-snap-strictness: proximity; --tw-shadow-colored: 0 0 transparent; --tw-shadow: 0 0 transparent; --tw-skew-x: 0; --tw-skew-y: 0; --tw-translate-x: 0; --tw-translate-y: 0; border: 0px solid rgb(217, 217, 227); box-sizing: border-box; color: #374151; font-family: Söhne, ui-sans-serif, system-ui, -apple-system, "Segoe UI", Roboto, Ubuntu, Cantarell, "Noto Sans", sans-serif, "Helvetica Neue", Arial, "Apple Color Emoji", "Segoe UI Emoji", "Segoe UI Symbol", "Noto Color Emoji"; font-size: 16px; margin: 1.25em 0px; text-align: start; white-space-collapse: preserve;">Then, they assist in actual childbirth – taking all precautions to avoid any risk of infection, helping with the delivery, and knowing how to react if the delivery goes wrong. They follow all the procedures that would make the newborn safe. Immediately after childbirth, comes postpartum recovery, which consists of numerous physical therapies and herbal remedies. The midwife checks if the whole placenta is delivered, instructs the mother on how to breastfeed, and usually treats mothers with different kinds of warming therapies to dry the body of excess water. These therapies, together with massages in the following months, help the organs recover and regain their original shape and location, especially the womb. The midwife also takes care of the baby's health until the mother fully recovers.</p><p style="--tw-border-spacing-x: 0; --tw-border-spacing-y: 0; --tw-ring-color: rgba(69,89,164,.5); --tw-ring-offset-color: #fff; --tw-ring-offset-shadow: 0 0 transparent; --tw-ring-offset-width: 0px; --tw-ring-shadow: 0 0 transparent; --tw-rotate: 0; --tw-scale-x: 1; --tw-scale-y: 1; --tw-scroll-snap-strictness: proximity; --tw-shadow-colored: 0 0 transparent; --tw-shadow: 0 0 transparent; --tw-skew-x: 0; --tw-skew-y: 0; --tw-translate-x: 0; --tw-translate-y: 0; border: 0px solid rgb(217, 217, 227); box-sizing: border-box; color: #374151; font-family: Söhne, ui-sans-serif, system-ui, -apple-system, "Segoe UI", Roboto, Ubuntu, Cantarell, "Noto Sans", sans-serif, "Helvetica Neue", Arial, "Apple Color Emoji", "Segoe UI Emoji", "Segoe UI Symbol", "Noto Color Emoji"; font-size: 16px; margin: 1.25em 0px 0px; text-align: start; white-space-collapse: preserve;">This process requires a midwife to master an enormous body of knowledge and have a lot of experience in almost all aspects of Traditional Medicine. She has to be skilled in physical therapies, herbal medicine, spirit medicine, astrology, psychology, and so on. All this makes midwifery one of the most demanding specializations one can dedicate themselves to in Traditional Medicine of Thailand.</p></div>

Sages from India, China, Tibet, Greece, Babylon, and other parts of the world concluded that the best possible way to explain reality to the human mind is through Elements. Although Element theories differ in structure among various traditions, they all share the common role of being an unsurpassed way to describe everything. The theory of Elements helps us understand how natural forces define human life from birth, through growth, maturation, aging, to the moment of death. It also helps us realize that each of us is born with a specific quality, or better put, a "natural signature" - Element constitution, a fact widely unknown or denied throughout Western civilization, which tends to perceive us all as equal, like machines. We are not. With this natural constitution at birth, our lives begin to unfold, influenced by numerous natural phenomena such as seasons, weather, the food we eat, other people, plants, and animals. In response to all these influences, we react according to our constitution. This constitution, along with our interaction with the world, shapes our character, life tendencies, the types of activities we choose, the way we react to the environment and other people, and, for the therapist, the most important aspect - it affects our health.</p><p style="--tw-border-spacing-x: 0; --tw-border-spacing-y: 0; --tw-ring-color: rgba(69,89,164,.5); --tw-ring-offset-color: #fff; --tw-ring-offset-shadow: 0 0 transparent; --tw-ring-offset-width: 0px; --tw-ring-shadow: 0 0 transparent; --tw-rotate: 0; --tw-scale-x: 1; --tw-scale-y: 1; --tw-scroll-snap-strictness: proximity; --tw-shadow-colored: 0 0 transparent; --tw-shadow: 0 0 transparent; --tw-skew-x: 0; --tw-skew-y: 0; --tw-translate-x: 0; --tw-translate-y: 0; border: 0px solid rgb(217, 217, 227); box-sizing: border-box; color: #374151; font-family: Söhne, ui-sans-serif, system-ui, -apple-system, "Segoe UI", Roboto, Ubuntu, Cantarell, "Noto Sans", sans-serif, "Helvetica Neue", Arial, "Apple Color Emoji", "Segoe UI Emoji", "Segoe UI Symbol", "Noto Color Emoji"; font-size: 16px; margin: 1.25em 0px 0px; text-align: start; white-space-collapse: preserve;">For every body-mind-oriented therapist, it is crucial to understand these fundamental laws of nature. Every human has specific needs and is prone to developing specific diseases. To effectively counteract disease, we need knowledge of the recommended therapies and activities for each Element constitution, and how to match them. Not all people should eat the same food; what is healthy for someone may be unhealthy for someone else. The same goes for all other activities, such as the type of work we should do, the length of sleep, the type of exercises, and so on. Each of us is unique. The knowledge of these natural processes that shape our existence is truly a requirement if you want to elevate your practice to a higher level. This lecture is meant for all bodywork professionals, regardless of their background, and is specifically adjusted to match the attendee’s experience and current level of knowledge and understanding.</p></div>

<div style="text-align: left;"><p style="--tw-border-spacing-x: 0; --tw-border-spacing-y: 0; --tw-ring-color: rgba(69,89,164,.5); --tw-ring-offset-color: #fff; --tw-ring-offset-shadow: 0 0 transparent; --tw-ring-offset-width: 0px; --tw-ring-shadow: 0 0 transparent; --tw-rotate: 0; --tw-scale-x: 1; --tw-scale-y: 1; --tw-scroll-snap-strictness: proximity; --tw-shadow-colored: 0 0 transparent; --tw-shadow: 0 0 transparent; --tw-skew-x: 0; --tw-skew-y: 0; --tw-translate-x: 0; --tw-translate-y: 0; border: 0px solid rgb(217, 217, 227); box-sizing: border-box; color: #374151; font-family: Söhne, ui-sans-serif, system-ui, -apple-system, "Segoe UI", Roboto, Ubuntu, Cantarell, "Noto Sans", sans-serif, "Helvetica Neue", Arial, "Apple Color Emoji", "Segoe UI Emoji", "Segoe UI Symbol", "Noto Color Emoji"; font-size: 16px; margin: 0px 0px 1.25em; white-space-collapse: preserve;">Recently, I was inspired by one of my students to clarify certain facts regarding Thai massage practice and its evolution. Many people are unaware that Traditional Thai medicine faced a ban in Thailand for most of the 20th century.</p><p style="--tw-border-spacing-x: 0; --tw-border-spacing-y: 0; --tw-ring-color: rgba(69,89,164,.5); --tw-ring-offset-color: #fff; --tw-ring-offset-shadow: 0 0 transparent; --tw-ring-offset-width: 0px; --tw-ring-shadow: 0 0 transparent; --tw-rotate: 0; --tw-scale-x: 1; --tw-scale-y: 1; --tw-scroll-snap-strictness: proximity; --tw-shadow-colored: 0 0 transparent; --tw-shadow: 0 0 transparent; --tw-skew-x: 0; --tw-skew-y: 0; --tw-translate-x: 0; --tw-translate-y: 0; border: 0px solid rgb(217, 217, 227); box-sizing: border-box; color: #374151; font-family: Söhne, ui-sans-serif, system-ui, -apple-system, "Segoe UI", Roboto, Ubuntu, Cantarell, "Noto Sans", sans-serif, "Helvetica Neue", Arial, "Apple Color Emoji", "Segoe UI Emoji", "Segoe UI Symbol", "Noto Color Emoji"; font-size: 16px; margin: 1.25em 0px; white-space-collapse: preserve;">The ban was initiated in 1923 when Western medicine replaced Traditional medicine as the official healthcare system in Thailand, rendering the traditional practices illegal. This prohibition persisted until the mid-80s when, under the guidance of the World Health Organization (WHO), the Thai government launched the "revival" project. The project aimed to reintegrate Traditional medicine into the public health care system. However, to achieve this, the traditional practices had to be standardized to align with Western academic standards, essentially resulting in the corruption of traditional medical practices. This "new" curriculum of Traditional Thai medicine excluded various aspects such as the traditional knowledge of anatomy and physiology, teacher-student relationships, divination, magical sciences, several physical therapies, and techniques that were challenging to learn or required extensive mastery.</p><p style="--tw-border-spacing-x: 0; --tw-border-spacing-y: 0; --tw-ring-color: rgba(69,89,164,.5); --tw-ring-offset-color: #fff; --tw-ring-offset-shadow: 0 0 transparent; --tw-ring-offset-width: 0px; --tw-ring-shadow: 0 0 transparent; --tw-rotate: 0; --tw-scale-x: 1; --tw-scale-y: 1; --tw-scroll-snap-strictness: proximity; --tw-shadow-colored: 0 0 transparent; --tw-shadow: 0 0 transparent; --tw-skew-x: 0; --tw-skew-y: 0; --tw-translate-x: 0; --tw-translate-y: 0; border: 0px solid rgb(217, 217, 227); box-sizing: border-box; color: #374151; font-family: Söhne, ui-sans-serif, system-ui, -apple-system, "Segoe UI", Roboto, Ubuntu, Cantarell, "Noto Sans", sans-serif, "Helvetica Neue", Arial, "Apple Color Emoji", "Segoe UI Emoji", "Segoe UI Symbol", "Noto Color Emoji"; font-size: 16px; margin: 1.25em 0px; white-space-collapse: preserve;">In this process, Traditional medicine underwent significant alterations, giving birth to the "new" Traditional medicine, which is currently heavily promoted and regulated by the Thai Ministry of Health and Ministry of Education. This confusion is why there is widespread misunderstanding about what Traditional Thai Medicine truly encompasses. In reality, two distinct and incompatible traditions are often referred to by the same name.</p><p style="--tw-border-spacing-x: 0; --tw-border-spacing-y: 0; --tw-ring-color: rgba(69,89,164,.5); --tw-ring-offset-color: #fff; --tw-ring-offset-shadow: 0 0 transparent; --tw-ring-offset-width: 0px; --tw-ring-shadow: 0 0 transparent; --tw-rotate: 0; --tw-scale-x: 1; --tw-scale-y: 1; --tw-scroll-snap-strictness: proximity; --tw-shadow-colored: 0 0 transparent; --tw-shadow: 0 0 transparent; --tw-skew-x: 0; --tw-skew-y: 0; --tw-translate-x: 0; --tw-translate-y: 0; border: 0px solid rgb(217, 217, 227); box-sizing: border-box; color: #374151; font-family: Söhne, ui-sans-serif, system-ui, -apple-system, "Segoe UI", Roboto, Ubuntu, Cantarell, "Noto Sans", sans-serif, "Helvetica Neue", Arial, "Apple Color Emoji", "Segoe UI Emoji", "Segoe UI Symbol", "Noto Color Emoji"; font-size: 16px; margin: 1.25em 0px; white-space-collapse: preserve;">Thai massage, as a component of Thai medicine, shares a similar fate. A parallel can be drawn with popular Yoga, where ancient traditions underwent a similar process of corruption. Just as Yoga asanas were extracted from the broader body of authentic Yoga practice, resulting in a "new" Yoga that resembles fitness more than spiritual practice, the techniques of Thai massage were separated from the extensive body of Thai medicine. Thai massage, created in this manner, often appears more like a wellness service than a spiritual practice.</p><p style="--tw-border-spacing-x: 0; --tw-border-spacing-y: 0; --tw-ring-color: rgba(69,89,164,.5); --tw-ring-offset-color: #fff; --tw-ring-offset-shadow: 0 0 transparent; --tw-ring-offset-width: 0px; --tw-ring-shadow: 0 0 transparent; --tw-rotate: 0; --tw-scale-x: 1; --tw-scale-y: 1; --tw-scroll-snap-strictness: proximity; --tw-shadow-colored: 0 0 transparent; --tw-shadow: 0 0 transparent; --tw-skew-x: 0; --tw-skew-y: 0; --tw-translate-x: 0; --tw-translate-y: 0; border: 0px solid rgb(217, 217, 227); box-sizing: border-box; color: #374151; font-family: Söhne, ui-sans-serif, system-ui, -apple-system, "Segoe UI", Roboto, Ubuntu, Cantarell, "Noto Sans", sans-serif, "Helvetica Neue", Arial, "Apple Color Emoji", "Segoe UI Emoji", "Segoe UI Symbol", "Noto Color Emoji"; font-size: 16px; margin: 1.25em 0px; white-space-collapse: preserve;">In Thailand, all schools of Thai massage primarily teach massage techniques. For years, Westerners believed that learning Thai massage equated to acquiring techniques, associating the breadth of techniques with therapeutic proficiency. However, there was a substantial gap in understanding the practice, acknowledged by those honest with themselves. This gap was either obscured by blending Thai massage techniques with other medical systems like Chinese medicine or Ayurveda or by emphasizing aesthetics with new age props such as candles, incense, Buddha heads, essential oils, and relaxing music. This led to the phenomenon of "style over substance" Thai massage, where the practice appeared impressive, but the knowledge gap remained evident.</p><p style="--tw-border-spacing-x: 0; --tw-border-spacing-y: 0; --tw-ring-color: rgba(69,89,164,.5); --tw-ring-offset-color: #fff; --tw-ring-offset-shadow: 0 0 transparent; --tw-ring-offset-width: 0px; --tw-ring-shadow: 0 0 transparent; --tw-rotate: 0; --tw-scale-x: 1; --tw-scale-y: 1; --tw-scroll-snap-strictness: proximity; --tw-shadow-colored: 0 0 transparent; --tw-shadow: 0 0 transparent; --tw-skew-x: 0; --tw-skew-y: 0; --tw-translate-x: 0; --tw-translate-y: 0; border: 0px solid rgb(217, 217, 227); box-sizing: border-box; color: #374151; font-family: Söhne, ui-sans-serif, system-ui, -apple-system, "Segoe UI", Roboto, Ubuntu, Cantarell, "Noto Sans", sans-serif, "Helvetica Neue", Arial, "Apple Color Emoji", "Segoe UI Emoji", "Segoe UI Symbol", "Noto Color Emoji"; font-size: 16px; margin: 1.25em 0px 0px; white-space-collapse: preserve;">The gap resulted from the removal of crucial elements during the creation of the "new" Thai medicine and Thai massage. Addressing this gap requires a deeper understanding of the human body, its composition, functioning, the impact of lifestyle and environment, causes of pain, diagnostic capabilities, and the suitability of specific therapies for given situations. While Thai teachers often rely on vague concepts like "intuition" or "feeling," the true answer lies in the medical knowledge of Traditional medicine in Thailand. Unfortunately, this knowledge is either unknown to many Thais or has a language and cultural barrier that prevents its transmission to non-Thais, leaving a considerable challenge for those seeking a comprehensive understanding of Thai massage.</p></div></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><p style="--tw-border-spacing-x: 0; --tw-border-spacing-y: 0; --tw-ring-color: rgba(69,89,164,.5); --tw-ring-offset-color: #fff; --tw-ring-offset-shadow: 0 0 transparent; --tw-ring-offset-width: 0px; --tw-ring-shadow: 0 0 transparent; --tw-rotate: 0; --tw-scale-x: 1; --tw-scale-y: 1; --tw-scroll-snap-strictness: proximity; --tw-shadow-colored: 0 0 transparent; --tw-shadow: 0 0 transparent; --tw-skew-x: 0; --tw-skew-y: 0; --tw-translate-x: 0; --tw-translate-y: 0; border: 0px solid rgb(217, 217, 227); box-sizing: border-box; color: #374151; font-family: Söhne, ui-sans-serif, system-ui, -apple-system, "Segoe UI", Roboto, Ubuntu, Cantarell, "Noto Sans", sans-serif, "Helvetica Neue", Arial, "Apple Color Emoji", "Segoe UI Emoji", "Segoe UI Symbol", "Noto Color Emoji"; font-size: 16px; margin: 0px 0px 1.25em; text-align: start; white-space-collapse: preserve;">The human body is too delicate for the frequent application of intense and potentially hazardous techniques, a characteristic for which Thai massage is renowned. Relying solely on "intuition" can be unreliable and unclear. While softer, gentler, and non-invasive techniques like effleurage might align with intuitive guidance, Thai massage is notably recognized for its vigorous stretches and forceful pressure techniques often delivered using elbows, knees, or feet. The inherent nature and structure of these techniques hint at the therapy's originally therapeutic intent. Going beyond safe limits, even by a small margin, can transform Thai massage into a form resembling martial arts, posing potential dangers that demand a careful and knowledgeable approach.</p><p style="--tw-border-spacing-x: 0; --tw-border-spacing-y: 0; --tw-ring-color: rgba(69,89,164,.5); --tw-ring-offset-color: #fff; --tw-ring-offset-shadow: 0 0 transparent; --tw-ring-offset-width: 0px; --tw-ring-shadow: 0 0 transparent; --tw-rotate: 0; --tw-scale-x: 1; --tw-scale-y: 1; --tw-scroll-snap-strictness: proximity; --tw-shadow-colored: 0 0 transparent; --tw-shadow: 0 0 transparent; --tw-skew-x: 0; --tw-skew-y: 0; --tw-translate-x: 0; --tw-translate-y: 0; border: 0px solid rgb(217, 217, 227); box-sizing: border-box; color: #374151; font-family: Söhne, ui-sans-serif, system-ui, -apple-system, "Segoe UI", Roboto, Ubuntu, Cantarell, "Noto Sans", sans-serif, "Helvetica Neue", Arial, "Apple Color Emoji", "Segoe UI Emoji", "Segoe UI Symbol", "Noto Color Emoji"; font-size: 16px; margin: 1.25em 0px 0px; text-align: start; white-space-collapse: preserve;">In summary, the foundational element for any physical therapy practice, irrespective of the specific technique applied, lies in the medical knowledge of Traditional medicine in Thailand. Echoing the sentiments of my teacher, it is crucial in the practice of Thai massage to adhere to the medical knowledge of Thai medicine. Whether performed on the floor, table, chair, in a moving train, on a roof, with or without oils, or with the client clothed, half-clothed, or naked—these external factors are inconsequential. The primary objective of Thai massage is to address and resolve the client's issue, and as a therapeutic practice, one must possess the knowledge of how to achieve this; everything else is secondary.</p></div>

As a practitioner, you will gain a greater understanding of your practice and massage in general. By learning the basics of Thai anatomy and physiology, you will understand what the body consists of and how it functions. The theory of Elements will help you understand what causes sickness and how it can be treated. Different diagnostic tools for bodywork will help you acquire a real perspective on your bodywork practice - is massage a solution for the particular health issue or not? What is the Elemental constitution of the client? What is the structure of the treatment that should be applied to the specific constitution with a specific health problem? If you have been trained just to apply numerous massage techniques, this lecture will give you a deeper understanding of when, how, and why each massage technique should be applied or not. Regardless of what type of bodywork you were trained in, this knowledge will give you a lifetime insight into how natural processes shape health and disease. The lecture is specifically adjusted to match the attendant’s background, experience, and current level of knowledge and understanding.</span></div>

It is meant for all those who still have doubts or questions regarding their practice, feel that something is missing, do not know with whom to study more, or simply want to take their skill to the next level. </span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #374151; font-family: Söhne, ui-sans-serif, system-ui, -apple-system, "Segoe UI", Roboto, Ubuntu, Cantarell, "Noto Sans", sans-serif, "Helvetica Neue", Arial, "Apple Color Emoji", "Segoe UI Emoji", "Segoe UI Symbol", "Noto Color Emoji"; font-size: 16px; text-align: start; white-space-collapse: preserve;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #374151; font-family: Söhne, ui-sans-serif, system-ui, -apple-system, "Segoe UI", Roboto, Ubuntu, Cantarell, "Noto Sans", sans-serif, "Helvetica Neue", Arial, "Apple Color Emoji", "Segoe UI Emoji", "Segoe UI Symbol", "Noto Color Emoji"; font-size: 16px; text-align: start; white-space-collapse: preserve;">The main purpose of the training is to introduce the wide spectrum of Traditional Medicine of Thailand, which until recently, wasn't available to the international Thai massage community and is still not available in massage schools across Thailand. The training teaches the spiritual foundation of Traditional Medicine of Thailand, Traditional Thai Anatomy and Physiology, and therapeutic procedures. It covers the following topics: Wai Khru, Buddhism, the five roots of Traditional Medicine of Thailand, the Theory of the Elements, manifestations of the Elements in the human being, Types of imbalances of the Elements, Khwan, Sen, Wind Gates, Points, Treatment of Layers, Bodywork pulse diagnosis, Abdominal massage, Oil Massage, Advanced massage techniques, and more... </span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #374151; font-family: Söhne, ui-sans-serif, system-ui, -apple-system, "Segoe UI", Roboto, Ubuntu, Cantarell, "Noto Sans", sans-serif, "Helvetica Neue", Arial, "Apple Color Emoji", "Segoe UI Emoji", "Segoe UI Symbol", "Noto Color Emoji"; font-size: 16px; text-align: start; white-space-collapse: preserve;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #374151; font-family: Söhne, ui-sans-serif, system-ui, -apple-system, "Segoe UI", Roboto, Ubuntu, Cantarell, "Noto Sans", sans-serif, "Helvetica Neue", Arial, "Apple Color Emoji", "Segoe UI Emoji", "Segoe UI Symbol", "Noto Color Emoji"; font-size: 16px; text-align: start; white-space-collapse: preserve;">A profound knowledge of these subjects is necessary for the practitioner to be able to understand how the body-mind functions from the perspective of Traditional Medicine of Thailand, how to make an accurate diagnosis, and which specific therapy should be applied for healing. Without a deep understanding of this medical theory, one can face many difficulties in applying massage or any other therapy beyond the confines of simple spa/wellness service.</span></div></div>

These exercises represent the primary and most important aspect of physical therapy. They form the foundation from which all other physical therapies have evolved. Reusi Dat Ton is the only system used to experience and understand the Thai medical theory in the practitioner’s own body-mind before applying it to others.</span></span></span></div>

The teaching program is tailored to suit the practitioner’s current level of practice. Any ineffective techniques used by the practitioner are gradually replaced by techniques that match Thai anatomy and physiology and better suit his or her constitution and abilities. The aim is for each trainee to develop his or her own style of work and to practice with maximum efficacy and safety. </span></span></span></div>

</div>
<div style="background: white; color: #333333; font-family: arial, tahoma, helvetica, freesans, sans-serif; font-size: 14.85px; line-height: 12.25pt; margin: 7.5pt 0in 0in;">

Overall, trainees will come to appreciate why these skills should be referred to as Thai Traditional Therapy and not simply Thai massage. Massage is but one single approach which belongs to the ocean of Traditional Medicine of Thailand. All the information taught stems directly from the following Buddhist, Thai, and Lanna medical texts: Dhatuvibhanga Sutta, Kalama Sutta, Maha Hatthipadopama Sutta, Kayagatasati Sutta, Maha Rahulovada Sutta, Girimananda Sutta, Vimuttimagga, Kam Phi Chanta Saht, Kam Phi Thaht Wiwawn, Kam Phi Thaht Wiphang, Kam Phi Roknithan, Kam Phi Samutthan Winichai, Tamra Nuad Meung Chiang Mai, Tamra Yah Lanna and others...</span></span></div>

The center is located in the very heart of the city in a nice and quiet neighborhood, about a 15-minute walk away from all the city’s major sights. In recent years, the city of Belgrade became a popular European tourist destination that is easily accessible from all major European cities. Belgrade has a rich history, offers a wide variety of interesting sights, and is also very well known for its charming inhabitants. </span></span></div>

Rarely does someone ask the question which, in my opinion, is the crucial one: "What exactly do you teach?"</p><p style="--tw-border-spacing-x: 0; --tw-border-spacing-y: 0; --tw-ring-color: rgba(69,89,164,.5); --tw-ring-offset-color: #fff; --tw-ring-offset-shadow: 0 0 transparent; --tw-ring-offset-width: 0px; --tw-ring-shadow: 0 0 transparent; --tw-rotate: 0; --tw-scale-x: 1; --tw-scale-y: 1; --tw-scroll-snap-strictness: proximity; --tw-shadow-colored: 0 0 transparent; --tw-shadow: 0 0 transparent; --tw-skew-x: 0; --tw-skew-y: 0; --tw-translate-x: 0; --tw-translate-y: 0; border: 0px solid rgb(217, 217, 227); box-sizing: border-box; color: #374151; font-family: Söhne, ui-sans-serif, system-ui, -apple-system, "Segoe UI", Roboto, Ubuntu, Cantarell, "Noto Sans", sans-serif, "Helvetica Neue", Arial, "Apple Color Emoji", "Segoe UI Emoji", "Segoe UI Symbol", "Noto Color Emoji"; font-size: 16px; margin: 1.25em 0px; white-space-collapse: preserve;">Over the 20 years I have spent in the world of bodywork, I went through a typical evolution of a bodywork therapist. I was learning and learning, traveling, going from one training to another, from one workshop to another, and I was practicing, practicing, practicing... Then one day, I started to teach and share my experience, and during those times, I acquired all these certificates shown in the picture above. All that was only to one day realize that they don't matter at all. For real teaching, you would never be granted a certificate.</p><p style="--tw-border-spacing-x: 0; --tw-border-spacing-y: 0; --tw-ring-color: rgba(69,89,164,.5); --tw-ring-offset-color: #fff; --tw-ring-offset-shadow: 0 0 transparent; --tw-ring-offset-width: 0px; --tw-ring-shadow: 0 0 transparent; --tw-rotate: 0; --tw-scale-x: 1; --tw-scale-y: 1; --tw-scroll-snap-strictness: proximity; --tw-shadow-colored: 0 0 transparent; --tw-shadow: 0 0 transparent; --tw-skew-x: 0; --tw-skew-y: 0; --tw-translate-x: 0; --tw-translate-y: 0; border: 0px solid rgb(217, 217, 227); box-sizing: border-box; color: #374151; font-family: Söhne, ui-sans-serif, system-ui, -apple-system, "Segoe UI", Roboto, Ubuntu, Cantarell, "Noto Sans", sans-serif, "Helvetica Neue", Arial, "Apple Color Emoji", "Segoe UI Emoji", "Segoe UI Symbol", "Noto Color Emoji"; font-size: 16px; margin: 1.25em 0px; white-space-collapse: preserve;">When it comes to bodywork, to become a true, mature practitioner, it requires talent to begin with. If you don't have a natural talent for touch, no amount of training and no certificate would make you a good practitioner. Further on, it requires practice, and we are talking here about serious practice. What is serious practice? Well, it is at least between 5 to 10 years of continuous practice; thousands of people going through your hands. Remember, every human being is different, and this is why experience makes you a great practitioner, not technical knowledge. It is the way it has always been and will always be, at least when it comes to bodywork. This makes it very clear why a weekend, two weeks, or a month of training wouldn't make you a practitioner. You can just acquire a good foundation, assuming you are lucky enough to learn from a knowledgeable and experienced teacher. Afterwards, it's up to you to put what you have learned into practice, otherwise, you'll forget it all. A certificate is just a piece of paper, and if it holds a title, it is often a false one.</p><p style="--tw-border-spacing-x: 0; --tw-border-spacing-y: 0; --tw-ring-color: rgba(69,89,164,.5); --tw-ring-offset-color: #fff; --tw-ring-offset-shadow: 0 0 transparent; --tw-ring-offset-width: 0px; --tw-ring-shadow: 0 0 transparent; --tw-rotate: 0; --tw-scale-x: 1; --tw-scale-y: 1; --tw-scroll-snap-strictness: proximity; --tw-shadow-colored: 0 0 transparent; --tw-shadow: 0 0 transparent; --tw-skew-x: 0; --tw-skew-y: 0; --tw-translate-x: 0; --tw-translate-y: 0; border: 0px solid rgb(217, 217, 227); box-sizing: border-box; color: #374151; font-family: Söhne, ui-sans-serif, system-ui, -apple-system, "Segoe UI", Roboto, Ubuntu, Cantarell, "Noto Sans", sans-serif, "Helvetica Neue", Arial, "Apple Color Emoji", "Segoe UI Emoji", "Segoe UI Symbol", "Noto Color Emoji"; font-size: 16px; margin: 1.25em 0px; white-space-collapse: preserve;">Throughout my life, I met many "certified" practitioners of various disciplines, many of them maintaining a practice that doesn't fit their certificate title at all. Certificates didn't exist in ancient times. It is a modern phenomenon, invented in the process of standardization of knowledge; a product of our market-oriented society, with the purpose to introduce "instant reputation" within the business environment. It leaves no space for questioning. It exploits our basic ego longing for recognition and a feeling of importance. The certificate is gradually becoming a motif by itself, making this certification business much more prone to corruption. Today, it most likely doesn't reflect the actual knowledge and experience of its holder.</p><p style="--tw-border-spacing-x: 0; --tw-border-spacing-y: 0; --tw-ring-color: rgba(69,89,164,.5); --tw-ring-offset-color: #fff; --tw-ring-offset-shadow: 0 0 transparent; --tw-ring-offset-width: 0px; --tw-ring-shadow: 0 0 transparent; --tw-rotate: 0; --tw-scale-x: 1; --tw-scale-y: 1; --tw-scroll-snap-strictness: proximity; --tw-shadow-colored: 0 0 transparent; --tw-shadow: 0 0 transparent; --tw-skew-x: 0; --tw-skew-y: 0; --tw-translate-x: 0; --tw-translate-y: 0; border: 0px solid rgb(217, 217, 227); box-sizing: border-box; color: #374151; font-family: Söhne, ui-sans-serif, system-ui, -apple-system, "Segoe UI", Roboto, Ubuntu, Cantarell, "Noto Sans", sans-serif, "Helvetica Neue", Arial, "Apple Color Emoji", "Segoe UI Emoji", "Segoe UI Symbol", "Noto Color Emoji"; font-size: 16px; margin: 1.25em 0px 0px; white-space-collapse: preserve;">I never show my certificates to anyone. I got them out of a dusty box specifically to make this picture, and I immediately put them back to rest in darkness :) It is this attitude that people unconsciously recognize with me, so they never ask about my qualifications. However, sometimes it happens, and it is usually someone from far away who comes with a question: "Are you certified?" </p><p style="--tw-border-spacing-x: 0; --tw-border-spacing-y: 0; --tw-ring-color: rgba(69,89,164,.5); --tw-ring-offset-color: #fff; --tw-ring-offset-shadow: 0 0 transparent; --tw-ring-offset-width: 0px; --tw-ring-shadow: 0 0 transparent; --tw-rotate: 0; --tw-scale-x: 1; --tw-scale-y: 1; --tw-scroll-snap-strictness: proximity; --tw-shadow-colored: 0 0 transparent; --tw-shadow: 0 0 transparent; --tw-skew-x: 0; --tw-skew-y: 0; --tw-translate-x: 0; --tw-translate-y: 0; border: 0px solid rgb(217, 217, 227); box-sizing: border-box; color: #374151; font-family: Söhne, ui-sans-serif, system-ui, -apple-system, "Segoe UI", Roboto, Ubuntu, Cantarell, "Noto Sans", sans-serif, "Helvetica Neue", Arial, "Apple Color Emoji", "Segoe UI Emoji", "Segoe UI Symbol", "Noto Color Emoji"; font-size: 16px; margin: 1.25em 0px 0px; white-space-collapse: preserve;">And I just kind of keep silent, not knowing what to say...</p></div><div style="background-color: white; color: #1d2129; display: inline; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; margin-top: 6px;">

<span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: "calibri" , "sans-serif"; font-size: 11.0pt; line-height: 120%;">It’s been twenty years now since I travelled to
Thailand for the first time. Back then, in the mid 1990s, when the Internet was
still young, there wasn’t much information about Thailand that you could get
your hands on before you go there. It used to be a distant, mysterious country
barely heard of from scarce stories and rare books. After the initial shock,
which the traveler experiences on his first encounter with any Asian country,
it was evident pretty soon that the people who came there from other parts of
the world were not like your average neighbors, but rather real globetrotters,
mostly young people with adventurous spirit, brave enough to set off into the
unknown, to step into another culture, another language, and to mingle with
different people. The village on the island that I went to was accessible only
on foot, through a forest, because a large section of the road leading there
was not paved yet.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="BasicParagraph" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: "calibri" , "sans-serif"; font-size: 11.0pt; line-height: 120%;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="BasicParagraph" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: "calibri" , "sans-serif"; font-size: 11.0pt; line-height: 120%;">Today, 20 years later, not only is the road paved and the beautiful, once deserted
beaches packed with ugly-looking massive bungalows, but even an airport is
being built on the island, while it is slowly turning into a top tourist
destination ready to receive flocks of travelers every year. Today you will
find Wi-Fi on every palm tree, while the visitors staying in the bungalow next
to you will most likely look exactly like your average neighbors. New times
also bring new values, so the old Thailand progressively gives way to
inexorable globalization and the philosophy of pure profit. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: "calibri" , "sans-serif"; font-size: 11.0pt; line-height: 120%;">I have been practicing Thai massage for 15 years now.
Just like most people, the first time I went to Chiang Mai I aspired to learn
this mysterious art that seemed intriguing to me, making a step further on the
path toward mastering the discipline of massage that I was already practicing
at the time. Back then, fifteen years ago, Chiang Mai was a small, charming,
delightful provincial town. For its particular geographic position, the town
has been under huge influence of the surrounding civilizations for centuries,
and bearing in mind its size, the wide range of its offers can be matched by
few other places around the world. It charms and captivates you as soon as you
step into the shade of the street vendor´s canopy. At that time, there used to
be several schools and a number of teachers who could introduce you to Thai
massage.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="BasicParagraph" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: "calibri" , "sans-serif"; font-size: 11.0pt; line-height: 120%;"><br /></span></div>

<span lang="EN-GB" style="line-height: 120%;"><span style="font-family: "calibri" , sans-serif; font-size: large;"><i>“I acquired knowledge from many teachers, but every time I came back, I felt something was missing …”</i></span></span></div>

<div class="BasicParagraph" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: "calibri" , "sans-serif"; font-size: 11.0pt; line-height: 120%;">For the past 15 years, Chiang Mai has grown and
developed incredibly, it has become noisy and hectic, turning into the major
tourist center in the North, where you can now find schools of massage on every
corner. Tens of thousands of people</span><span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: "calibri" , "sans-serif"; mso-ansi-language: EN-GB;"> </span><span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: "calibri" , "sans-serif"; font-size: 11.0pt; line-height: 120%;">have become skilled in Thai massage and spread it
across the world, so nowadays almost everyone knows about it. Add to this the
Internet, and all the mystery is gone. But is it really so? Not long ago, a
student of mine, who travelled to Chiang Mai on several occasions, said to me:
“I acquired knowledge from many teachers, but every time I came back, I felt
something was missing …” The thing that is missing is that which is not meant
for tourists. Most of us tend to forget that we come to a country that has
never been conquered, and we all know what a farang likes most when he goes to
other countries – to seize and grab and take whatever he wants, whatever he
needs, usually without asking whether he may, and throughout history, it was
mostly by force. That’s how it was for centuries, and that’s how it is today.
In order to prevent that, Thai people wisely set an obstacle in our way –
language. It is spoken only there and nowhere else in the world, and it is very
difficult to learn.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

from many teachers, both Thai and Westerners, and just like that student of
mine, I always had the feeling that something was lacking in my practice.
Although I have managed to master <i>how</i> to do it perfectly, I haven’t
mastered the knowledge of <i>what </i>I am doing actually. So I went further on
in my quest, with perseverance, until one day I eventually found the piece that
was missing. The teacher who made</span><span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: "calibri" , "sans-serif"; mso-ansi-language: EN-GB;"> </span><span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: "calibri" , "sans-serif"; font-size: 11.0pt; line-height: 120%;">me immerse so profoundly into Thai culture and Thai
medicine, into this vast universe of whose existence I hadn’t been aware of, or
only faintly imagined, that I simply forsook everything I had done up to that
moment, throwing it away as dead weight, and started from scratch. With his
blessing and support, I set out on a road not trodden by tourists. I embraced
the local culture, spirituality, language and customs. And then, right before
my eyes, a parallel universe opened up for me, a universe of traditional
medicine, in which there are doctors no one knows of, who live right next to
those known to everyone, and practices that are familiar to all, yet no one
knows the proper way of performing them. A universe stretching throughout the
country, not only in tourist centers such as Chiang Mai, Bangkok or Phuket.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

once you get to know its foundations, and learn to carry it out in practice,
then you begin to search for a place where you can realize this practice. Once
you go deeper into it, once you go beyond the confines of wellness and spa
centers, once you acquire skill and courage to apply your knowledge as
medicine, then you start searching for people who are in the need of it. The
moment arrived for me to go to a place that I had heard of many years before,
so I asked my teacher if I could go there and I was granted with permission. I
set off into the heart of Thailand.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

buses to Northeast in which you get all stiff after bumping for 15 hours or more,
and eventually I got off in one of those transit towns, from where I headed to
my new destination, far away from any tourist route. I got on a local bus,
ramshackle and dirty, looking like it came from the early 20th century. I was
riding the bus together with some 20 Thais. From that moment on, throughout the
whole adventure which followed, there wasn’t ANYONE who spoke English, and
EVERYTHING around me was written only in Thai language. Fortunately, I was
well-prepared and already conversant with the basics of Thai, otherwise the
whole action would have been absolutely impossible to achieve. I would have
gotten lost just around the first corner. During the bus ride, a soldier
explained to me that there was a hotel right next to the bus station at my destination.</span></div>

town. I was soon to understand that I was the only white person around within
radius of hundreds of kilometers, and it was the first time in my life that I
found myself completely alone, in the midst of a civilization that was in a way
distant and foreign to me, among people that I didn’t know well, who didn’t
understand any language that I speak, except for that rudimental Thai in which
I could communicate on a basic level. And when they spoke in their mother
tongue, I either had difficulties in understanding them or did not understand
them at all. That feeling of communicational isolation is one of the most
intense experiences that I have ever had.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

too expensive for my shoestring budget, and since there was no guesthouse in
town, I had to find some cheap room to rent. I will never forget the moment
when I was walking down the dusty road in that far-off provincial town, in the
middle of nowhere, carrying my whole life in my backpack, and it was getting
dark fast, while packs of stray dogs were eyeing me … and I thought to myself
that it was</span><span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: "calibri" , "sans-serif"; mso-ansi-language: EN-GB;"> </span><span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: "calibri" , "sans-serif"; font-size: 11.0pt; line-height: 120%;">a
perfect setting in which I could just vanish without a trace, and if something
would happen to me, if I were to disappear off the face of the earth, no one
would ever find me. Scary. Finally I found what I was looking for in a narrow
side street – a dilapidated, creepy, dirty concrete building that had the
appearance of something from Japanese horror movies from the 1960s. I asked the
receptionist for a room, so she took me upstairs to show it to me. On the door,
there was a padlock the size of a corkscrew placed on a rickety lock, and it
crossed my mind that the next day, when I come back, I would find the room
completely empty, with all my personal belongings gone. The thought probably
occurred to me because of my memories of India ... The room was spacious, but
without windows, there was a big mattress, a wardrobe and a TV set, and that
frustrating neon light. It was a total dump, like a hideout for a heroin
smuggler.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

night’s horror movies scenes quickly turned into idyllic scenery of a small
provincial town in Thailand. I realized that my loc</span><span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: "calibri" , "sans-serif"; font-size: 11.0pt; line-height: 120%;">ation was excellent, close to the market and the main
street with the inevitable 7-Eleven convenience store. At the market, I bought
some fruits for breakfast, flowers, incense and candles. I went for a short
walk through town and inquired about the way to get to my destination point.
Soon I was sitting comfortably in a three-wheeled cart (there are no tuk-tuks
there), enjoying the sight of rice fields passing by during the 30-minute ride.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

a Buddhist temple and it specializes in paralysis-related conditions. Patients
from all over Thailand, as well as surrounding countries, come there looking
for help. I came there wishing to do volunteer work and to learn. I was
received by the Abbot of the temple, and I explained who I am and what my motives for coming were, whereupon he
approved my engagement. I was taken to the room for physical therapy, where I
was introduced to the doctors and showed a mat that was to be my working space.
Half an hour later, I attended my first patient, followed by many patients who
poured in until 6 p.m., when I called the man with the three-wheeled cart to
take me back to town. My heart has never been so full as that day.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

constantly felt people’s stare, often followed by their murmur. However, when I
returned to my room, I saw all my belongings neatly in their place, and
moreover during my entire stay there, I didn’t experience the slightest inconvenience
(apart from the time when a pack of stray dogs attacked me when, in the middle
of the night, I went out to get something at 7-Eleven; luckily I managed to
frighten them away, scaring off the leader). On the contrary, once the word

common with Thai massage taught at schools and the way it is usually
represented in the West. In this place, massage has solely therapeutic purpose,
it implies a high degree of intensity and pain, and to a large extent it is
applied by means of stepping (therapists hold on to a handrail placed all
around the mats), lots of squeezing and acupressure and very little stretching
is applied. Luk Pra Kob and Yam Khang are applied all the time. There is no
music, possibly the TV might be on showing some Muay Thai fight, while doctors
often talk to each other and the patients alike. This is constantly punctuated
with strident sound of heel against the hot tin plate. During therapy I also
used Tok Sen, which was welcomed approvingly, while the doctors were eager to
see the tools, some of which I had personally assembled.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

ranging from completely paralyzed people in wheelchairs to those paralyzed in half
of their body or a limb. The causes of their paralyses were various, including
cases of stroke or traffic accidents. Some of them fully recovered, others only
partially, and others yet never. Paralysis often goes paired with other serious
conditions; therefore, treating such patients requires great skillfulness,
knowledge and experience – knowledge of Thai anatomy and physiology and an
understanding of the bodily functions</span><span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: "calibri" , sans-serif;"> </span><span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: "calibri" , sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; line-height: 120%;">from the perspective of traditional medicine and the
way it is applied for healing purposes. There is no room for any kind of
abstraction or fantasizing. Treating
such patients, the therapist is ushered into a specific spiritual state of
mind; his work is a great karmic lesson which is best summarized in the
question posed to me during treatment of an officer; a young man barely 27
years old, who suffered an accident which left him completely paralyzed in the
left part of his body: “Please sir, tell me would I be able to walk ever
again?” And then you have to reply something ...</span></div>

own. It usually affects a person all of a sudden, turning his/her life totally
upside down. One wrong move at the steering wheel can change the course of your
life forever. You are still alive, you are not in constant pain, yet you are
incapable of having a normal life, at least the kind that you used to have up
to that moment. What does that message, sent to you by the universe, mean? One is inevitably faced with the question:
“why did it happen to me?” which remains weighing on every patient, and which
leads to a deeper contemplation on the karma phenomenon embedded into the
philosophy of life of Thai people. I remember the peculiar atmosphere of
certain peacefulness during my stay with these people, people who suffered such
a heavy blow in their life, a knockout so to say, after which there is no room
for any anger, arrogance or intolerance. People suffering from paralysis are
mostly quiet, likeable and good-tempered. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

one thing, but I got all confused before a vendor and brought something
completely different. I treated each and every one of them and they were all
pleased, which meant so much to me. If you want real feedback in you practice,
there’s no better person than a Thai doctor. Their appearance was utterly
charming to me, because when you see them in town or on the market, you’d take
them to be members of a street gang rather than doctors at the clinic. Every
day we had a half an hour lunch-break, when we went to the temple where I was
dumbfounded at the marvelous sight of a variety of meals. I am a food-lover,
but the food that I ate there was a real treat that I had nowhere else in
Thailand. We would sit down on the floor and fifteen different plates would be
served to us, plates like I have never been served in any restaurant. In their
tradition of hospitality, they would be constantly pouring more food into my
plate, and I’d be stuffing myself, and eventually, when the lunch was over,
we’d just move a few meters to savor fifteen types of dessert that were out of
this world. Jaw-dropping! The intimate and friendly relationship that I struck
up with those doctors is the most humane and most beautiful thing that I have
experienced in so many years.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: "calibri" , "sans-serif"; font-size: 11.0pt; line-height: 120%;">Only few days afterwards, someone mentioned Mo Puu
Ying, and then I realized that there were also women doctors at the clinic, who
were working in another building. Once they explained to me where it was, I
went to see the place and, much to my surprise, I discovered there was a huge
room, approximately three times bigger than ours, where female doctors worked.
There were maybe ten to fifteen of them, and as soon as I entered their room,
the place went nuts! When they saw me, their reaction was so sweet, they
giggled and it was very funny ... I was personally delighted with my discovery.
Although I realized that there was a gender-based segregation among doctors,
since female doctors, for example, did not apply Yam Khang, there were patients
of both sexes in each Sala.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

positions of Reusi Dat Ton exercises. The steam bath had several small cabins
filled with hot steam saturated with vapor from 108 herbs. The temperature
inside is around 80'C, and when you go outside into the scorching hot Thai air
of 37'C, it feels like light summer breeze. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "calibri" , sans-serif; font-size: 11pt;">At the end of each working day, I was offered supper,
and then I sat together with the patients. In the evening, everyone gathers on
a small porch in front of the room with a TV set and a table, like some sort of
extended family. I was deeply touched by the affection that the personnel
showed to the patients. They were gentle and kind, there was not a tinge of
arrogance or aloofness that often characterizes physicians in the West.</span></div>

catch a flight to go back home. We made our farewells wholeheartedly, and it
was not an easy leave-taking, because I grew to love them all, just as they did
me. It was one of the most beautiful and moving experiences in my entire life,
and I left the place with firm promise that one day I will return. The greatest
lesson for a therapist, which I learnt there, is this: “Before you is a person who genuinely
suffers, and you can feel this suffering everywhere, in her eyes, in her voice,
in her body, in the air between you and her, it is so strong that it pervades
your entire being. It is up to you to do your utmost to reduce the suffering of
this other being, as much as you can. And at that moment, everything else in
this world is absolutely insignificant.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>

Chiang Mai, about the ways in which the city is changing more and more, she
told me: “Everything is changing so fast. Everything has become much more
expensive. All these changes are aimed at satisfying the desires of thousands
of tourists who come here. Hotels, restaurants and bars are constructed,
instead of schools and hospitals. And we, the local population, are somehow
left out of account in all of this.” <o:p></o:p></span></div>

making profit there, and no one is famous.
It still represents Thailand as it once was. Warm, humane and

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">An essential aspect of Traditional Medicine in Thailand,
Reusi Dat Ton, which still remains widely unknown, is a system of exercises
including self-massage, dynamic exercises, postures, stretching and breathing
exercises, mantras, visualization and meditation. Its principal purpose is to
explore one’s own body and mind, and to understand how they function. Once we
reach that understanding, only then can we also begin to understand how those
around us function. If we are unable to keep ourselves in balance, our attempts
to help others find balance will inevitably be futile. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Apart from this process of self-realization, performing
Reusi Dat Ton exercises can also keep oneself in good health. With significant
experience, a practitioner may apply Reusi Dat Ton to others as a specific kind
of therapy. Nowadays, most of the chronic illnesses that we come across in a
medical practice are the result of long-term harmful habits in our daily lives.
Reusi Dat Ton exercises, as an everyday practice, are powerful counter-measures
a person can take to remedy unhealthy habits and to improve general health.</span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="line-height: 115%;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">As
the system from which Thai Massage evolved, Reusi Dat Ton is the first and the
most important form of physical therapy in Traditional Medicine of Thailand and
shares the same theoretical foundation as all other aspects of traditional
medicine in Thailand: herbal medicine, physical therapy, divination practices,
magic and Buddhism.</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">The essence of the theoretical knowledge of these five roots
of Thai medicine is encapsulated in the theory of Elements, which offers an
understanding of the ways that mind and body function and interact with
environment and also explains the functioning of the entire universe known to
us. All practical disciplines in Traditional Medicine of Thailand are grounded
in this theory, including Thai anatomy and physiology.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Some of the physical therapies, such as Nuat Boran (massage)
are distinguished by a bigger emphasis on treating the external body and are
applied to produce an effect on the physical body, whereas other therapies,
such as Tok Sen, Yam Kahng or Chet Haek, are simultaneously semi-external and
semi-spiritual. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; text-align: justify;">In treating the physical body, a practitioner is treating
both the body and its functions. The physical body itself is made of the
elements Earth and Water, while the functions of the body consist of the
elements Fire and Wind. The application of massage techniques to the physical
body (Earth and Water) primarily balances the Wind element, which indirectly
addresses the other elements. </span></div>

also influenced by Wind element and has the nature of the Space element. The
Wind manifesting in the physical body is called gross Wind, whereas the Wind
manifesting in the subtle body, or the mind, is called subtle Wind. The gross
Wind is all the movements of the physical body, while the subtle Wind is the
movement of the mind, for example, thoughts. The gross aspect of the Wind moves
through physical Sen channels, while the subtle aspect of the Wind in the body
and around the body moves through psychic Sen channels. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Like many varieties of Hindu and Tibetan yoga, Reusi Dat Ton
is a system with a holistic approach of the human being, meaning there is an
understanding that the practices affect both the mind and the body. And, like
other yoga systems, Reusi Dat Ton cultivates the physical body and the mind
together. However, these individual yoga systems are distinguished from one
another by view and by the theoretical concepts from which each has
respectively evolved. </span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">As with the other physical therapies of Traditional Medicine
of Thailand, Reusi Dat Ton primarily works upon the Wind element. Self-massage,
dynamic exercises, postures and stretching have a stronger effect on gross
Wind, whereas the techniques of mantras, visualization and meditation have a
stronger effect on the subtle Wind. However, it should be stressed that both
gross and subtle Winds are fully interconnected and mutually dependant; they
are the two aspects of the same element. </span></div>

</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">With serious examination and practice of Traditional Medicine
of Thailand, it becomes clear that all of the different aspects, including
massage, Reusi Dat Ton, Herbal medicine, Magic, Divination or Tok Sen, are all
infused with the same spirit, complement one another, and, together form a
complete living system. Like an ocean, the depths and interconnectedness of the
system are unfathomable, and it is better to dive deep into it than to keep
swimming in circles. </span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: 11pt;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">This
specific type of training was created for practitioners who have already
studied Thai massage and have had several years of professional experience. It
is meant for all those who still have doubts or questions regarding their
practice, feel that something is missing, do not know with whom to study more
or simply want to take their skill to the next level.</span></span><span style="font-size: 11pt;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 11pt; line-height: 12.25pt;">The
main purpose of training is to introduce the wide spectrum of Traditional
Medicine of Thailand which, until recently, </span><span style="font-size: 14.6667px; line-height: 16.3333px;">wasn't</span><span style="font-size: 11pt; line-height: 12.25pt;"> available to the
international Thai massage community and is still not available in massage
schools across Thailand. The training teaches the spiritual foundation of
Traditional medicine of Thailand, Traditional Thai Anatomy and Physiology and
therapeutic procedures. It covers the following topics:</span></span><span style="font-size: 11pt; line-height: 12.25pt;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></span></div>
</div>
<div style="background: white; line-height: 12.25pt; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 7.5pt;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: 11pt;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Wai
Khru, Buddhism, the five roots of Traditional medicine of Thailand, the Theory
of the Elements, manifestations of the Elements in the human being, Types of imbalances
of the Elements, Khwan, Sen, Wind Gates, Points, Treatment of Layers, Bodywork
pulse diagnosis, Abdominal massage, Oil Massage, Advanced massage techniques and
more ...</span></span><span style="font-size: 11pt;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"> </span></span><span style="font-size: 11pt;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">A
profound knowledge of these subjects is necessary for the practitioner to be
able to understand how the body-mind functions from the perspective of
Traditional medicine of Thailand, how to make an accurate diagnosis and which
specific therapy should be applied for healing. Without a deep understanding of
this medical theory, one can face many difficulties in applying massage or any
other therapy beyond the confines of simple spa/wellness service.</span></span><span style="font-size: 11pt;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></span></div>
</div>
<div style="background: white; line-height: 12.25pt; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 7.5pt;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: 11pt;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">In
addition, the practitioner is introduced to and trained in basic Reusi Dat
Ton exercises. These exercises represent the primary and most important aspect
of physical therapy. They form the foundation from which all other physical
therapies have evolved. Reusi Dat Ton is the only system used to experience and
understand the Thai medical theory in the practitioner’s own body-mind, before
applying it to others.</span></span><span style="font-size: 11pt;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></span></div>
</div>
<div style="background: white; line-height: 12.25pt; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 7.5pt;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: 11pt;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">The
more technical aspects of the training are adjusted to suit the trainee’s
current knowledge, constitution, abilities and needs. The teaching program is tailored to suit the practitioner’s current level of practice. Any
ineffective techniques used by the practitioner are gradually replaced by
techniques that match Thai anatomy and physiology and better suit his or her
constitution and abilities. The aim is for each trainee to develop his or her
own style of work and to practice with maximum efficacy and safety.</span></span><span style="font-size: 11pt;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></span></div>
</div>
<div style="background: white; line-height: 12.25pt; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 7.5pt;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: 11pt;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">The
trainee will develop an insight into the complex interconnection of different

numerous physical therapies, was artificially torn from a wider medical
structure, with the sole purpose of serving the wellness industry.</span></span><span style="font-size: 11pt;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: 11pt;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">The
teaching program also includes a demonstration of other physical therapies
such as Tok Sen, Fire Cupping, Luk Bpra Kop and Scraping in order for the
practitioner to understand how massage integrates these other therapies, the
difference between the therapies, and which aspect of the body and mind each therapy
affects. Overall, trainees will come to appreciate why these skills should be
referred to as Thai Traditional Therapy and not simply Thai massage. Massage is
but one single approach which belongs to the ocean of Traditional medicine of
Thailand.</span></span><o:p><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"> </span></o:p><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">All the information taught stems directly from the following

</div>
<div class="MsoNormal"><p style="--tw-border-spacing-x: 0; --tw-border-spacing-y: 0; --tw-ring-color: rgba(69,89,164,.5); --tw-ring-offset-color: #fff; --tw-ring-offset-shadow: 0 0 transparent; --tw-ring-offset-width: 0px; --tw-ring-shadow: 0 0 transparent; --tw-rotate: 0; --tw-scale-x: 1; --tw-scale-y: 1; --tw-scroll-snap-strictness: proximity; --tw-shadow-colored: 0 0 transparent; --tw-shadow: 0 0 transparent; --tw-skew-x: 0; --tw-skew-y: 0; --tw-translate-x: 0; --tw-translate-y: 0; border: 0px solid rgb(217, 217, 227); box-sizing: border-box; color: #374151; font-family: Söhne, ui-sans-serif, system-ui, -apple-system, "Segoe UI", Roboto, Ubuntu, Cantarell, "Noto Sans", sans-serif, "Helvetica Neue", Arial, "Apple Color Emoji", "Segoe UI Emoji", "Segoe UI Symbol", "Noto Color Emoji"; font-size: 16px; margin: 0px 0px 1.25em; white-space-collapse: preserve;">Today, we can witness Tok Sen, a traditional therapy of Northern Thailand, becoming completely corrupted by modernization. It is frequently talked about as "pok, pok, pok," a simplified hitting of the client's body with the mallet and the peg along the sen. With this gross generalization, it is being taught as a short course for quick profit.</p><p style="--tw-border-spacing-x: 0; --tw-border-spacing-y: 0; --tw-ring-color: rgba(69,89,164,.5); --tw-ring-offset-color: #fff; --tw-ring-offset-shadow: 0 0 transparent; --tw-ring-offset-width: 0px; --tw-ring-shadow: 0 0 transparent; --tw-rotate: 0; --tw-scale-x: 1; --tw-scale-y: 1; --tw-scroll-snap-strictness: proximity; --tw-shadow-colored: 0 0 transparent; --tw-shadow: 0 0 transparent; --tw-skew-x: 0; --tw-skew-y: 0; --tw-translate-x: 0; --tw-translate-y: 0; border: 0px solid rgb(217, 217, 227); box-sizing: border-box; color: #374151; font-family: Söhne, ui-sans-serif, system-ui, -apple-system, "Segoe UI", Roboto, Ubuntu, Cantarell, "Noto Sans", sans-serif, "Helvetica Neue", Arial, "Apple Color Emoji", "Segoe UI Emoji", "Segoe UI Symbol", "Noto Color Emoji"; font-size: 16px; margin: 1.25em 0px; white-space-collapse: preserve;">Tok Sen actually has a long history in the Lanna tradition of medicine. It most likely originated with the Shan people, perhaps somewhere around the city of Lampang, and later spread across the area of Northern Thailand. Like most traditional practices, it is a combination of both physical therapeutic techniques as well as magical or spiritual healing methods. As with all traditional methods of healing in the Lanna tradition, the ways in which it is learned, taught, and practiced are governed by specific methods and initiations that have been passed on for generations. As it treats both physical as well as spiritual causes of illness, it is necessary to receive the complete teaching and not separate out one aspect. To do this, one should receive initiation from a qualified teacher. Then they should learn the practical application of Tok Sen. Learning the technique alone is not complete nor is it sufficient to practice Tok Sen as it was passed on for generations.</p><p style="--tw-border-spacing-x: 0; --tw-border-spacing-y: 0; --tw-ring-color: rgba(69,89,164,.5); --tw-ring-offset-color: #fff; --tw-ring-offset-shadow: 0 0 transparent; --tw-ring-offset-width: 0px; --tw-ring-shadow: 0 0 transparent; --tw-rotate: 0; --tw-scale-x: 1; --tw-scale-y: 1; --tw-scroll-snap-strictness: proximity; --tw-shadow-colored: 0 0 transparent; --tw-shadow: 0 0 transparent; --tw-skew-x: 0; --tw-skew-y: 0; --tw-translate-x: 0; --tw-translate-y: 0; border: 0px solid rgb(217, 217, 227); box-sizing: border-box; color: #374151; font-family: Söhne, ui-sans-serif, system-ui, -apple-system, "Segoe UI", Roboto, Ubuntu, Cantarell, "Noto Sans", sans-serif, "Helvetica Neue", Arial, "Apple Color Emoji", "Segoe UI Emoji", "Segoe UI Symbol", "Noto Color Emoji"; font-size: 16px; margin: 1.25em 0px; white-space-collapse: preserve;">The practitioner should obtain the proper tools from his/her teacher. The type of wood, shape, and weight are determined by the lineage and have a specific use and meaning. For example, the most prized wood for the peg is a tree that has been struck by lightning. This type of wood has a special quality for moving out negative energy from the body and protection from malicious spirits. Ivory may be used for removing toxins from the body as well. These tools must be blessed and empowered by the teacher. To do this, the tools will be part of a ritual in which they are offered up to the lineage for blessing. After this, the teacher will inscribe sacred incantations on the mallet and pegs in order to promote healing for the patient and protect the practitioner.</p><p style="--tw-border-spacing-x: 0; --tw-border-spacing-y: 0; --tw-ring-color: rgba(69,89,164,.5); --tw-ring-offset-color: #fff; --tw-ring-offset-shadow: 0 0 transparent; --tw-ring-offset-width: 0px; --tw-ring-shadow: 0 0 transparent; --tw-rotate: 0; --tw-scale-x: 1; --tw-scale-y: 1; --tw-scroll-snap-strictness: proximity; --tw-shadow-colored: 0 0 transparent; --tw-shadow: 0 0 transparent; --tw-skew-x: 0; --tw-skew-y: 0; --tw-translate-x: 0; --tw-translate-y: 0; border: 0px solid rgb(217, 217, 227); box-sizing: border-box; color: #374151; font-family: Söhne, ui-sans-serif, system-ui, -apple-system, "Segoe UI", Roboto, Ubuntu, Cantarell, "Noto Sans", sans-serif, "Helvetica Neue", Arial, "Apple Color Emoji", "Segoe UI Emoji", "Segoe UI Symbol", "Noto Color Emoji"; font-size: 16px; margin: 1.25em 0px 0px; white-space-collapse: preserve;">The practitioner should learn the appropriate incantations for blessing the instruments before a treatment, incantations for making offerings on behalf of the patient, incantations for healing as he/she is using the tools for healing, and finally, incantations for cleansing. Today there are a few different lineages of Tok Sen practitioners. Each has his/her own methods and incantations, but generally, they are very similar. When we say lineages, we mean traditional doctors who have been initiated themselves and are practicing in a traditional way. The schools which are teaching Tok Sen as a purely physical technique without initiation, incantations, or the like cannot be considered a tradition or part of a lineage.</p></div>

<span style="color: #4b4f56; font-family: "helvetica" , "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">Osnovna obuka Tradicionalne Thai Terapije prvenstveno omogućava dubok uvid šta je zapravo ova terapija. Za razliku od komercijalne “Thai masaže”, koja se najčešće predstavlja kao jedan od mnogih vidova bodywork-a, Thai fizikalna terapija neodvojivi je deo Tradicionalne medicine Tajlanda. Pored još četiri komponente jedna je od metoda koje se koriste u tradicionalnoj medicini. Ovo je veoma važno razumeti i shvatiti da se Thai fizikalna terapija ne može praktikovati bez poznavanja teorije Tradicionalne medicine Tajlanda jer predstavlja samo jedan njen izraz i najčešće se koristi skupa sa dr</span><span class="text_exposed_show" style="color: #4b4f56; display: inline; font-family: "helvetica" , "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">ugim metodama lečenja u sklopu TMT. Ovo je prva i najvažnija činjenica koja se uči na Osnovnoj obuci. Thai fizikalna terapija ne može se praktikovati bez poznavanja Thai anatomije i fiziologije i višegodišnjeg, ozbiljnog i posvećenog učenja i prakse.</span><br />

Kao deo Tradicionalne Thai medicine, Thai terapija predstavlja spiritualnu praksu, te se stoga u okviru obuke svakodnevno izvodi i Wai Khru ceremonija.</span></span><br />

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "calibri" , sans-serif;">Basic
studies in Nuat Boran held by TTT Belgrade primarily provide a profound insight
into what this therapy actually is. Unlike commercial “Thai massage”, which is
usually presented as one of a number of bodyworks for relaxation, Nuat Boran is an integral
part of traditional Thai medicine. It is one of a dozen of physical therapies
used in traditional Thai medicine, while at the same time physical therapy
constitutes only one of five components of the TTM. Therefore, it is clear that
Nuat Boran is just one of the techniques used in medical treatment. It is very
important to be aware of this and to understand that Nuat Boran cannot be practised without knowing the theory of traditional Thai medicine, because it
is only one of its expressions, which is for the most part used together with
other forms of therapy within TTM. This is the first and the most important
fact to be learned at the Basic training in Nuat Boran. It cannot be practised if one
hasn’t spent years in serious and diligent commitment to its learning and
practice. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "calibri" , "sans-serif";">At
the Basic training, a student gets to know general concepts of traditional Thai
medicine, and how this perspective enables one to perceive the Universe and the
human’s place in it. How does the Universe manifest itself? How does the human
manifest himself/herself within the Universe? What is the human’s interaction
with his/her environment? What does the human body and mind consist of? How do
they function? What is the meaning of good health and illness? How does illness
come about? How do we diagnose an illness? Is it possible to cure an illness or
not? What therapy is capable of curing it? <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "calibri" , "sans-serif";">Once
these facts are explained, we shall focus on Nuat Boran and the events when it
is applied as a therapy – what does physical therapy mean? What parts of the
body does it affect? What is the body made of and how does it function? What
are the Elements? What are the layers? What are the Wind gates? What are the
Sen channels and what kinds of Sen channels are there? How can we affect them?

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "calibri" , "sans-serif";">Nuat
Boran originated from the system of exercises called Reusi Dat Ton, and in
order to gain an understanding of it, it is necessary to have certain practice in
Reusi Dat Ton, so a basic set of exercises in it is also taught at the Basic
training. Being part of the traditional Thai medicine, Nuat Boran is a
spiritual practice and integral Wai Khru ceremony is performed on daily basis.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
